rectly to the work of sending poor child to the
country, keeping him there for two weeks and
bringing him back again. Every So insures such
a vacation to at least one child. There have
been years in which. owing to the magnitude Of

WHAT ToTEMIsM is.
Light on an Interesting and Little
Understood subject.

Understood subject.
1t is interesting to note that totemism
Is found not only in Alaska, but among
the North American Indians, the abo-
rhymes OF Australia, the Hottentots of
Africa and even the hill tribes of In
dia. Totems are also common among
the Samoans.
Broadly the totem is the badge of q
clan or tribe, but 1t signifies a great
deal more than mere political or social
alliance. 1t is not only q tribal en-
blem, but also family sign; not mere
" a symbol of nationality, but also
an expression of religion; not simply
O bond Of union among primitive peo-
pies, but also regulator of the mar
rage laws and of other social iSstitu-
tions. A totem has been defined as "a
class of material objects which saw
age regards with superstitious respect,
believing that there exists between
him and every member Of the class an
intimate and special relation"
Among the Ojibway Indians there
are no fewer than twenty-three differ
ent totems. Nine Of these are quadru-
peds, marking out the wolf, the bear,
the beaver and other clans, eight are
birds, FIVE are fishes and one Is the
snake.
Some extraordinary superstitions re-
garding totems prevail In Samoa. Thus
It Is believed that IL turtle man eats
of a turtle he will grow very Ill, and
the voice of the turtle will be heard In
his inside saying: "He ate me. am
killing him." If a banana man uses a
banana leaf for cap he becomes bald.
If butterfly man catches butterfly
It strikes him dead. If a fowl man
eats fowl delirium and death results,
and so on, all going to show that the
totem has something Of the quality Of
a fetch as we'll as the significance Of
a family emblem.
Regarding totemism, 1t Is to be noted
that the relation Of mutual help and
protection includes also the totem It.
self-that Is to say, II man takes
care Of his totem he expects the to-
tenn to return the compliment. II the
totem Is a dangerous animal 1t must
not. hurt his clansmen. The scorpion
men Of Senegambia declare that the
most deadly scorpions will run over
their bodies without hurting them.
There Is a snake clan In Australia
which holds to a similar belief. Among
the crocodile clan Of the Bechuanas II
a man is bitten by a crocodile or even
has water splashed on him by one he is
expelled from the clan as one esteemed
unworthy by the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

A BEAUTIFUL NECK.
n IL Not Difficult to Obtain IL One In
willing to Work For IL.

A beautiful neck is not a difficult
thing to obtain If one Is willing to
work for It, and as a beautiful neck
makes its possessor look falrer and
younger than any other identifying
feature it is something worth working
for.
Develop the muscles Of the neck by
the following gymnastic exercises, and
developers and skin goods of various
kinds can all be dispensed with: a.
Slowly, but firmly bend the neck for
ward until the chin nearly touches the
neck, then gradually raise the head; (2)
slowly, but firmly, bend the head back
ward as far as you comfortably can;
repeat this movement twenty times;
3) bend the head sideways to right
twenty times and to the left the same
number of times; (4) roll the head slow
ly to the right, then to the left, twenty
times and afterward battle the neck in
warm water and olive oil soap and rub
1t firmly, but gently, with a soft towel.
If the neck is very thin little cream
rubbed in at this time will hasten mat
tiers, and If the treatment be persisted
In for six or eight weeks the improve
ment in the appearance Of the neck
will be so apparent that the treatment
will not be discarded until beautiful
white neck Is the reward.-American

HAPPY GIRLHOOD.
From Fourteen to Twenty Is the
Time to Form Character.

From Fourteen to Twenty Il the
Time to Form Character.
There should be no happier time in
a girls life than the years from four
teen to twenty. She should have no Sc
rious responsibilities during those
years, though she should not be per-
mitted to give up her time entirely to
frivolity. She has much to learn, and
her character is usually In such a
formative state that these years may
be the making or the marring Of her
whole life, says Woman's Life.
There can be no laying down Of hard
and fast rules for this age. Individual
needs must be considered always, and
solicitous parents must remember the :.
something must be left to the girl her.
self and that too close supervision is as
bad as too little.
There is no need to be discouraged
over the number of foolish fancies
which the girl will take up ut this time
Tor they are transitory, and In few
years she will be the first to laugh at
them. The chief things are to lay the
foundation for true womanly charac-
ter and make her girlhood so happy
that she would be only too glad to live
1t over again.

THE SMOKERS PARADISE.
A Continual Use of Tobacco II tho
Rule In Holland.

A Continual Use of Tobacco II tho
Rule In Holland.
Holland Is the smokers paradise.
Not only Is the climate one which al
most compels indulgence In tobacco,
but the fragrant leaf may be had in
abundance and at small cost.
The humidity Of the climate leads
naturally to continual smoking, and so
common is the habit that instead of
measuring distances by miles 1t Is Gus
tomary for the boatmen to declare a
place to be so many pipes distant.
On entering the house Of friend a
cigar is offered you, the host sees that
you are kept well supplied during your
visit, and fresh cigar upon leaving Is
as necessary as hat. Old friends are
not permitted to depart until their
cases have been refilled, and the neces-
sity for this becomes apparent when it
Is known that smoker usually lights
his fresh cigar from the stump Of the
previous one, keeping one in his mouth
continually.
Pipe smokers are equally devoted to
their habit, taking their pipe to bed
with them and only laying 1t down
when they become sleepy. Should they
awake during the night they indulge in
a short smoke before going to sleep
again, and they always light their pipes
before getting out Of bed in the morn
ing.-New York Herald.

When LIGHTNING Kills.

"As a rule" says a meteorological
expert, "those killed by lightning main
tain an appearance Of life, staying in
the attitude which they had when
struck. An English minister named
Butler witnessed the following: In the
town of Everdon ten harvesters had
sought refuge under hedge during a
storm. Lightning struck and killed
four, who were left as If petrified. One
was found holding In his fingers the
snuff which he was about to take. An
other had little dead dog on his knees
and had one hand on the animals head,
while holding In the other hand some
bread with which he had been feeding
1t. A third was sitting with his eyes
open and his head turned toward the
storm" -Chicago Tribune.

MONDAY AS WASH DAY.
II May He n Legacy to Us From the
MayflOwer Pilgrims.

MaynOwer Pilgrims.
Did you wonder how it came about
that in our country all families think
they must do their washing on Mon
day?
The Mayfiower drifted into Massa-
chusetts bay and lay at anchor outside
In q little sheltered cove. The fathers
had gone ashore to see If there was a
place suitable for landing. The morn
ing was Monday, and it seemed that
the old fashioned desire to tidy up
came over the hearts of the good house
keeping women Of the little band.
The women were rowed to shore, and
in the cold, salty water Of the bay this
Monday in November, 1920, the first
ladies in America washed and scrubbed
In the good English fashion too. Fires
were built, water heated and clothes
spread out on the trees and snow.
When all was finished to the satisfac-
ton of the women they sighed with
pleasure and said, Cleanliness Is akin
to goodness"
Do you know this is history? Yes, 1t
Is. though not as dry as history some
times is. Anything is history that
shows the spirit of the times, and this
wash day in America showed the spirit
of the first arrivals.-Boston Globe.

The PEPPERS.
An Opinion on the White, the Black
and the Snappy Cayenne.

ahu thC ShhPPs >.s
The so called white pepper is an
abomination. Give me the old fash
Toned black pepper of our daddies. IL
has both flavor and odor and Is most
appetizing, while the white Is nauseat-
Ing. For real snap and go give me
cayenne. None of your paprika! Did
you ever sift pepper in your soup and
notice its peculiar behavior? The black
kind concentrates, all the particles
rushing to a common center. The red
scatters, as If each grain were at en-
nifty with every other. Try the expert
ment. 1t means probably that black
pepper is astringant, while red Is laxa-
tive. The people of the tropics consume
large quantities of cayenne and are
not accustomed to dyspepsia. l never
heard of one suffering from impaired
or imperfect digestion.
Let us approach these things under
standingly. The medical term for
black pepper Is "piper," and this same
piper is regarded as stomachic. A
stomachic is a stimulant for the stom.
ach. Red, or cayenne, pepper is soap
sicum" and is an irritant as well as a
stomachic. If person afflicted with
cholera morbus takes thirty drops of
the tincture Of capsicum In water tho
entire alimentary tract will immedi-
ately be congested, which should prove
that red pepper is not a laxative. And
this looks like a contradiction.-New
York Press.
