Dear Old Mother,

In the hurry and hustle of this busy
life those dear old mothers, our best
friends and champions, who gave us
the very best years of their lives, who
stood between us and all harm, who
would willingly have laid down their
lives for us, who ia times of sickness
were always our ministering angels
constantly at our bedside, responding
willingly to every beck and call, at
tending with mere than loving kind
ness To- our every want and need-are
TOO often forgotten and seldom accord
ed the loving attention which is their
due, and when the grim reaper takes
them from us we, for the first time, re-
nlize in anguish, sorrow and regrat
what the loss of n mother really
means. 1t means In0re than all the
other things of earth. All the riches of
5he universe could not compensate, and
IN all the whole wide world there Is no
other who can fill her place OF all the
beauty with which the world is en-
bellished the most beautiful Is the
mother, and 30 her every human being
truly owes a world OF homage.-PapiE

A ven with n History.

The bridal veil is evidently of east
ern origin, being q relic of the bridal
canopy held over the heads Of the bride
and bridegroom. Among the Anglo
Saxons similar custom existed, but IL
the bride was widow it was dispensed
with According to Sarum usage, a
fine linen cloth was laid upon the heads
Of the bride and bridegroom and was
not removed until the benediction had
been said.
9rhc ODD British custom Was to use
natures veil unadorned-that is, the
long hair of the bride, which was so
worn by all brides, royal, noble and
simple. Only then did every one be-
hold the tresses of maidenhood in their
entirety and for the last time, as after
marriage they were neatly dressed on
the head. Among some the tresses were
cut and carefully slowed away on a
woman becoming a wife. 1t was GUS
tomary in Russia for village brides to
shear their locks on returning from
church.

very few uniinnortant forms devoid OF
chlorophyll can the synthesis of CON-
pIex from simple compounds or from
the elements be accomplished. The
function of chlorophyll may only be
cOmprehended when its chief physical
properties are understood. These may
be best illustrated by placing a gram
of chopped leaves of grass or geranium
in few cubic centimeters of strong
alcohol for an hour.
Such q solution will be of n bright,
clear green color, and when the vessel
containing it is held in such manner
that the sunlight is reflected from the
surface of the liquid it will appear
blood red, due to its property of tluor-
escence. that of changing the wave
length of the rays of light of the violet
and of the spectrum in such manner
as to make them coincide with those of
the red end. 1t is by examination OF
light which has passed through solu-
ton of chlorophyll. however, that the
greatest insight into its physical prop
critics may be gained. If such ray of
light is passed through n prism and
spread~out on % screen, it may be seen
that there are several large intervals
of dark banus in the spectrum. The
rays of light which would have occu-
pied these spaces have been absorbed
by the chlurophyll and converted into
heat and other forms of energy. This
energy is directly available to the pro-
toplasm containing the chlorophyA and
by means of ii the synthesis OF COM
plex substance may be accomplished.

actor, the friend and companion of
Shakespeare, it was through him that
many OF the heroes of the dramatist

thronged the Globe tkeater He was
the original OF Romeo, Hamlet, Lear,
Othello, Macbeth, Shylock, Richard

James /. in 1903 to the company of the

poem in his honor, dedicated 10 one OF
the great players of the day, being
wrlttan as late as the time of Charles ii.
His death, which was probably the
result of paralysis, caused the poets to
turn their thoughts to his successful
career, and 1t is from the numerous
elegies then written that most of the
information concerning him must be
gathered. Few players have ever had
the good fortune to be so well liked by
tho dramatists of their time, and all
praised him, one even lamenting that
his death "hath made a visible eclipse
OF playing"
A 5hIewo, careful Tan in his bush

producing a yearly income Of $500,
large sum for player in those days to
bequeath TO his heirs. Beloved and

A Good LACQUER.

1t is often the case that one finds 1t
convenient to have at hand first class
lacquer with which to coat instru-
ments, ornaments or other articles, to
add either to their durability or finish.
The following recipe will be found re-
liable and not specially expensive: One
pint of best rectified alcohol, two
drains each Of saffron and Spanish an
MOTTO, an ounce of ground tumeric. Put
these ingredients together and place
them where there is q moderate heat
Leave them for several days, shaking
them occasionally. When nearly dis
solved add three ounces of the best
seed lac In rough powder. Let this
stand until the lac Is all dissolved,
shaking it frequently. If the color is to
be bright yellow, use less annotto; IL
q deep orange, use more. Put the mix
ture on while warm. Apply with
brush as one would use paint. The
number of coats depends entirely upon
the article and the purpose for which
it is used. For blue lacquer add prus-
sian or aniline blue to white shellac
varnish made very thin. In making
lacquer take great care not to use too
much seed lac, as the mixture is likely
to dry unevenly or in streaks.

Their Work of Danger High Up In
the Mountains.
Throughout the whole chain of the
Alps there are men who make it their
business to search for and root ap the
gentian, arnica, puffball- and other Al
pine flowers.
High ..p IN the mountains the root
grubber, generally an old man. builds
a little hut. He Chambers precipices
to the edges, where the blue flowers
grow, or if he cannot ascend, he lets
himself down to their place Of refuge
by rope fastened TO pine above.
He wanders to n long distance from
his hut and does not always trouble to
return to it at night, finding shelter IN
der a rock. Next morning ha spreads
all the roots he has collected on q rock,
where they may dry.
He collects herbs as well as roots.
and the resin from the pine besides.
When the summer is over and there
are signs of snow, the root grubber
collects all together in his little hut and
finally transports the whole of his six
months collection to the valley
The arnica and some otheg roots used
in medicine are readily disposed Of.
From the Sentian is made the favorite
gentian brandy, which Is considered
the very elixir OF life by the mountain
folk, III other days, when gentians
grew in great numbers, the root digger
was able to realize a good income from
his perilous occupation, but II Is other

The Precept of Ideali.ts.

Listen to the old men seated upon
the benches In the towns or during
their walks in the parks. Listen to
those who are in the midst Of life, In
the thick Of bitter conflicts and heart
sickening struggles. Listen to the wo-
men who have been married these sew
cral years. What discouraging re-
marks! Vanity of vanities! All these
people have filed their reports, and,
worn out, without the courage to put
the ideal into life, it ends in inevitable
and horrible bankruptcy. But in all
this it is not life which Is ut fault. It
is man. You must supply what Is
missing. Let us, then, to the profess
ors of the ideal. Their precept Is
very simple. 1t resolves itself into this:
"Be prepared for difficulties, but be
faithful IN the little things, and you
will attain the great ones" 1t is by the
very little steps that one rises slowly
to the summits.-Charles Wagner In

And so, after more Withdrawals and
approaches and gong beatings, the re-

state do not bury their dead. They live
on snakes, grubs, fruits and the flesh
