Mir. Lesser, in introducing Judge Weak ley, explained that the celebration of Ger man Day was not intended to be confined to the Germans alone. or to those of Ger man descent, but he said that it was customary to invite some prominent na- tive American to participate in the cele- bration by delivering an address, in the English language. He referred to the fact that Judge Weailey had been selected, not only because of the position he holds, but because of his knowledge of German literature and the German language.

PEDIGREES TO ORDER.
Thriving Trade In Coats of Arms,
With Lineage to Fit Them.


With all our boosted democracy GER
tain classes of Americans are as keen
in their pursuit of notable ancestry
which will entitle them to display
coats Of arms as the most snobbish
aristocrat could be. An authority in
heraldry made the statement awhile
ago that only forty or fifty American
families at the most are entitled to the
insignia Of nobility. But nobody can
convince the average citizen who has
made money" of any such thing. and
that supports very comfortably q
coterie of psychologists" in New York,
London and indeed many of the larger
cities here and abroad who make a
business of discovering long lost rela-
tives in the age of chivalry for worthy
twentieth century descendants.
Genuine old armorial bearings in
many cases represent puns or play
upon the family name in the design,
which makes it comparatively easy
to cut distinguished ancestry out of
whole cloth, hall mark and all, and
have the fake" look passably "ac-
tual" For instance, the arms Of Sir
John Peche as they appear in window
of the chapel at Lullingstone, Kent,
consist of two peach trees bearing
fruit, an old English e being imprint
ed upon each peach. The Bacon es-
cutcheon shows a boar and the Lamb
family's three lambs.
This tendency is well illustrated
among the American families which
really have inherited coats of arms.
The arms of the Standish family con-
sist of three standing dishes, the
Wheelocks of New Jersey display three
Catherine wheels, while the Carriers of
Philadelphia have three cart wheels,
and the emblem of the Astor family
is q yellow aster. How a coat Of arms
may be utilized for decorative effect
appears in the new Hotel Astor, which
is one of the most sumptuously furnish
ed Of New York's great hostelries. In
frescoes and wall hangings, lace and
linen, rugs and carpets, on glassware,
china and silver, the aster appears in
every conceivable form, fitted to every
possible scheme of design. This, too,
is an ancient use adapted to modern
usefulness.
When it is suggested that the use of
family symbols is undemocratic the
amateur in genealogy reminds us that
Washington. John Adams, Livingston,
Jay and many another Revolutionary
champion Of equal rights used a crest.
Furthermore, there is a tradition, at
least not disproved. that the most in
voterota hater Of monarchs Oliver
Cromwell. was having his own family
tree looked through for titled ancestors
at the time of his death.

OUR MOTHER TONGUE.

He may De a druggist who drugs.
But he's not a hugsist who hugs,
AID no tinker ever has funk.
Though you can't get a craftsman te
craw,
respectable craftsman may draw,
And a drinke- may often be drunk.
We say of the swimmer, He swami"
But not OF the trimmer, "She tram,"
And we never rowers have rown.
Though a man who has brought may not
bratch,
The one who has caught still may CATCH
And many a thrower has thrown.
IT'S common for zailors to sail,
But 1t isn't for tailors to tail,
And more than one plan are not plen.
II the broker is not one who brokes,
Still the smoker may be one who smokes,
And more than one man are called men.
Though never sperder has spoan,
The kind hearted lender lay loan,
And many 4 dealer has dealt.
We may say that the man who weaves
wove,
But not that the one who grieves grove.
And no squealer ever has sduealt.

the game would be to write the ques-
tons on cards and attach each card
to one of the butterflies that you sus-
pend from the ceiling. When the con-
test is in order the players walk about
the room reading the cards and
writing down their guesses. The but
terf1ies could figure to some extent in
the supper also. Plant them, il there
is time, on the candleshades. Have as
a favor a small candy box filled with
sweets, on the lid of which is poised
an artificial butterfly. A confectioner
can mold the ice cream into butter
flies if you do not object to the cost.
Or he will provide you with baskets
of spun sugar filled with ice cream
flowers. You yourself can add paper
moth to the handle of each basket.
For children cut a number of plain
cookies in the appropriate shape. Tis-
sue paper butterflies each containing
some trifling gift, would be likely to
make a hit with the little folk.

A Mixed Costume.

It is said of the late Lord Salisbury
that he once had to dress at breakneck
speed for a Ievee and in the absence of
his valet plunged at heap Of things
and threw them on as they came. He
appeared at court in the coat of the eld-
er brethren Of Trinity House. the trou-
sers of a deputy lieutenant and a hat
Of the royal archers. Putting on the
finishing touches before the mirror, he
hung his sword upon the wrong side
and gartered himself about the wrong
knee. He had assumed a waistcoat
made in days when he was of less am
pie girth, so that between the hem Of
this garment and the waist of the trou.

New Gold Theory.

Professor Frederick Soddy Of Glas-
gov university holds the theory that
gold is gradually disintegrating into
other materials. He has visited the gold
deposits Of Western Australia and New
Zealand, and he expresses his convic-
ton that in all probability gold, like
radium, is at once the product of some
other parent element and is itself
changing to produce Offspring" ele.
ments. The professor laments the in
adequacy of his resources in the way of
gold upon which to experiment and
