 The sta ks and leaves make excellent food for various animals, while the for uer can also be employed as fuel. Sun flower cake Is made from the seeds of this useful plant after the oil has been extracted, this oil being very nearly eunal to olive oil and used In cooking. The seeds not only serve as food fof cattle; they are mashed and kneaded into bread by the poor peasants of cer- tain parts of Russia, and they t1nd 1t very palatable.

The veil In Per~sa.

J. D. Kees, lecturer on Persia. says that the veih worn by Persian ladies ore more of privilege than punish ment. Screened behind 1t woman may walk wherever she p!eaaes, and even her own husband dare not question her movements. Doubtless many I'ersias ladies make the most of their opportu- nities. The persians. as rule do not think 1t right to take wine but z. near. ly all their poetry is in praise of thu flowing bowl it will be inferred that they frequently do violence to their conscience. Occasionally, however. they are seized with remorse, whereup0n they destroy the wine of their Arme~ nian neighbors.

Sword Stand. In Churches.

Sword stands came into use in Lon don churches when it became custom ary to carry the city sword before the lord mayor as he went to church in state. During service the sword was placed in the stand or case provided for it, and in his own church the lord mayor generally had the stand placed conveniently near to or in his family pew. This custom, which was quite common before the end of the six. teenth century. apparently began in the reign of Elizabeth. Tue state wis its to the city churches were discontin ued in the mayoralty of Sir R. N. Fow Ter, SS3.-LOndon Standard.

SEWING COTTON.
The Humble Origin of the Great
 Thread Industry.

Thread Industry.
 The origin of sewing cotton was told at q cotton manufacturers meeting by tue head of the great thread house of Paisley. Scotland. It was discovered in 1903 by his grandfather. who had a little business in Paisley, making silk twine for heddles. which were used by every weaver The s:lk came from Hamburg and in 1903 Napoleon caused the stock held there to be burned ill or der to hamper British trade. The weav CTS were in despair, but James Clark conceived tue idea that cotton yarns could be twisted together to form the twiues.
 The expefiMant sweeeedeA, and fton substituted for flax in the manufacture of sewing thread and would not be so coarse and harsh. He began the manu- fracture of the thread in very small way. It was at first put up in akeins and had to be wound inro little balls by the purchaser, and then Mir Clark in. vented the modern spools He had them made by a wood turner, half 4ross at . time They cost hiln sixpence doz- en, and he charged tue purchaser of the thread a halfpenny for the spool, which. however. was refunded when the spoo; was returned. The ladies Of Paisley used to come re his ahop with their spo6ls and wait while he wound the thread on them. From this small beginning grew a great industry.

West End Notes

Until recently a special noon deliv- cry mail was made in the west end for the Bluff City Lumber company, the Sawyer and Austin Lumber com pany and the Home Furniture com rany Since the new West End post ettiee has been established this deliv- cry has been discontinued. and it inconveniences said companies very much.
 Miss Addye Roebuck left Saturday at noon over the Hot Springs Western for a three weeks visit to her aunt, Mrs Ophelia Eberhart, in Hot Springs. A large new lumber she'd 50 by 200 feet, is under course of construction at the Sawyer and Austin Lumber companys lumber yards. It was bad ly needed, as the output of this large lumber company is increasing daily and il will be of great benefit 10 them. Engine No. 10, the regular log en- zine belonging to the Sawyer and Austin. is now under course of repairs and an Iron Mountain engine, No. SS1, is being used.
 -O------
 The large flower garden which has been recently fixed in the lumber yards at the Sawyer and Austin Lum- be rcompany is getting along nicely and the flowers in it are blooming prettily. It greatly improves the looks of the yards, and as man is kept for the special purpose of keeping 1t i'll order, it always is perfectly clean and attractive.
