Shinc.ino a House,

And l looked and beheId seven car
penters shingling a house. They were
hauling up bundles of shingles that
had been lying in the rain for two
days and mailing them on one by one.
In a few days the shingling will be
done. Then the painter will come
along with his ladders and brushes
and stains, and $500 will be spent by
the owner of the cottage to have it
thoroughly dabbed. And in a little
while the sun will shine, and all the
shingles will buckle. some up. some
down, until the cottage will resemble
a frizzled chicken. And there will be
leaks and cursings and lamentations.
Now. brethren, why not be sensible in
these small matters? Painters are not
needed at all in case Of this kind.
Keep your shingles dry; buy n few
barrels of stain; soak the shingles in
the stain and throw them on the grass
to dry; then nail them 10 the clap
boards. They will never buckle, they
will never leak, and you have saved

A Curious Creation Myth.


The various nations of the earth
have their different legends or myths
concerning the creation. That of the
Scandinavian countries is particularly
Interesting.
According TO the myth, Odin, Viii
and We, sons of the giant and giantess
Bor and BeltSa. killed Ymir and from
his body formed the heavens and the
earth. OF his blood they made the
seas and impossible oceans which sur
round the earth. OF his bones they
made the mountains, using his teeth
and the splinters to make the stones
and pebbles. From his inverted skull
they formed the heavens, and of his
brains they formed the clouds. His
hair became plants and trees when
given a chance To take root in the
new warm soil, and of his eyebrows
they made Il wall Of defense around
Midgard EDEN, which was the central
place of abode of men. When these
miracles had all been performed to
suit Odin. who was the chief god, the
three brothers took the sparks of fire
which rained down from the burning
world Musphelheim and. throwing
them over the face of heaven, made
the sun, moon and stars.-St. Louis

He Got the Shilling,

There is a story told of an English
squire who, on his way home one
night. dropped by accident down the
window sash shilling which he held
loosely in his hand ready for a certain
tollgate. Arrived home. he gave his
coachman instructions to recover the
lost shilling. and II he could not man
age TO do this himself he must call in
the aid Of the carpenter. The next day,
while sitting with his family at lunch
con, the shilling was brought in from
the stables. The country squire made
pleasant triumph OF his thriftiness, but
his countenance fell some few weeks
later when the carpenters bill display
ed the detail, For removing carriage

dropped, 5 shillings. "-London News.

THE LICORICE PLANT.
Where 1t Grows and How Its Black
Juice Is Treated.

Where 1t Grows and How Its Black
Juice Is Treated.
Black licorice is made from the Juice
of the licorice plant, mixed with starch
to prevent it from melting in hot
weather. The licOrice plant grows for
the most part on the banks of the
TigTiS and Euphrates rivers, which
flow through immense treeless prairies
of uncultivated land. The climate of
these great plains is variable Half the
year it is mild and pleasant, but for
three months il is very cold, and for
three months in summer hot winds
sweep across the country. raising the
temperature TO 1O4 degrees for weeks
at time.
The licorice plant is a shrub three
feet high and grows without cultiva-
ton in situations where its roots can
reach the water. The usual time of
collecting is the winter, but roots are
dug all the year around. At first the
root is full of water and must be
allowed to dry, process which takes
nearly year 1t is then cut into small
pieces from six inches to foot
long. The good and sound pieces are
kept. and the rotten ones are used for
frewood.
AS the valley of the Euphrates con-
tanned one of the earliest civilizations
in the world. it is probable that licorice
is about the oldest confection extant
and that the taste. which pleases near
ly all children today, was familiar to
the little brown boys and girls of
Babylon and Nineveh 5000 years ago.

EATING IN PUBLIC.
The Varied Sorrows of the Critical
Man Who Dimes Out.

Man Who Dimes Out.
What chance has the diner out of
being completely happy? The mere
actions of eating and drinking are nei-
Their pretty nor conducive to showing
people at their best. 1t is really q
most uncOuth sight to see man or a
woman stocking food. The necessity
of being polite at the same time makes
1t uncOmfCrta bic as well. No sooner
have you got into conversation with a
pleasant woman than the soup in your
mustache stops all inspiration. She
deSpiSeS you for your play with your
napkin, and your mustache is out of
shape. And who can feel that the
evening is going to be what he hoped
when he realizes that his shirt front is
smirched with some relic of the meal?
Indeed, dinner parties are really a
struggle between eating and talking, q
struggle which does not always end,
as do most things, in the survival OF
the ffttest. As one can't speak with
ones mouth full and first hunger must
be appeaSed, conversation and eating
go on rather as a game, the one person
whipping up some food while the other
IS speaking and then in his turn speak
ing in order to enable his partner to
get some nOuriShment To talk or to
eat might be q sensible question at the
beginning of dinner, but it is not one
likely to be asked. One is seldom sure
which is least worth sacrificing, the
food or the conversation. How much
simpler it would be if we fed apart

Senator Bleasc said yesterday that
no had decided upon a plan, and un-
iess something happened TO change
his opinion between this time and
tho opening Of the next general as
scmbly, he would introduce bill in
the senate on the opening day Of the
next session ombodying his plan.
Senator Bleasc thinks the solu-
ton is to pass prohibition law for
the entire state, TO go into operation
on July l, 1908, with privilege to
any of The counties, on petition Of
one-fourth the qualified electors of
the particular county, to vote upon
the question Of prohibition or il
censc, the license to be granted un-
der the present constitutional and
dlspc2sary restrictions. His bill
would provide, he said, That any
holder OF license sending whiskcy
III any quantity into dry county
should forfeit his license, and, up
on conviction, DO sentenced to serve
six months in the state penitentiary
at hard labor, without tho altorna-
tive of fine. For violating any Of
the restrictions amy holder Of H.
censc should forfeit his licensc. The
license, il granted, he said, should
go, onc-half to the city or town in
which it is granted. and the othc:
nalf to the general county fund, the
lincnsc to be regulated by the city
councils and the county board of
commissioners Of each county voting
for license.
In this way, nc said, parties hold
ing licenses would see To- it that

believed that his plan would bring
about the solution of the whislay
problem.
