THE MEANING OF COLoRS.

The symbolic significance of the col
ors was nee much believed in. Dur
ing the eighteenth century some of
the practical Specifications of these
colors was as follows:
Yellow worn by a man signified
secrecy, and was appropriate for the
silent lover. Worn by a woman it
indicated generosity. Golden yellow
was the symbol of the sun and Of
Sunday. The precious stone was the
chrysolite or the yellow jacinth. The
animal connected with the color was
the lion, doubtless from the associa-
ton of the zodiacal sign Leo with
the midsummer sun. OF the seven
ages of man yellow typified adde's
ence.
Roman matrons covered their heads
with a yellow veil to show their hope
of offspring and happiness. Because
garments this color were the sign of
grandeur and nobility, a golden vest
ment is assigned to the queen of heav-
en- as a sign of her pre-eminence, as
we read in Psalm xiv, 8: Upon thy
right hand did stand the queen in gold
of Ophir.' Gimma's explanation of
this, referring to- the Virgin Mary, is
in accord with the Catholic exegesis
of his time.
White signified for men friendship,
%religion(, integrity; fr women, con-
temptation, affability end purity. 1t
was associated with the moon and
with Monday, and was represented by
the pearl. The animal having an
affinity with white was quite naturally
the ermine. The mystic nImIer was
seven, and white was the color Of in
fancy.
Among the ancients white was a
sign of mourning and sadness. and
the Greek m%atrons alfred themselves
in white ON the death of their h.s-
bands, Gimma states. that in his
time. in Rome, widows used to wear
white as mourning for their husbands,
while throughout Italy a white band
worn around the head was a sign of
widowhood.
Red garments on a man indicated
command. nobility. lordsiiip and veng-
ance; on q vom;.n. pride, obstinacy.
and hautiness. This was the color of
the planet Mars ard OF Tuesday, and
was represented by the ruby. Why

WOULD AVERT TARIFF WAR.

A Washington dispatch says that
unless trade relations with Canada
can be adjusted as to enable Presi-
dent Taft to forego applying maxi
mum rates to the products of that
country entering the United States,
Representative Martin of Deadwood,
is of the opinion that the maximum
tariff provision of the Aldrich- Payne
act should either be revised or the
date of the enforcement postponed.
Letters received here from the
Northwest indicate that there Is a
feeling of concern among business
men of that section that unless the
United States is careful, a trade war
with Canada will be precipitated.
THE situation must be met in
some way" said Representative Mar
tin. who discussed the subject with
the president. I'VE must avoid
trouble with Canada at all hazards. l
am hopeful that by March 81 next,
the date upon which the maximum
tariff becomes operative, a way will
have been found to meet Canada in a
spirit of friendship and concord. II
II Is discovered In the meantime, how
ever. that conditions require the presi-
dent to impose the maximum tariff In
the case of Canada, that provision of
the law must be changed. It would
be a serious blunder for this govern

Attention Investors

The New York-Alabama Oil company, Huntsville, Ala, owns a splendid oil and gas field; also the best unimproved real estate in Huntsville.
 The company now has nine producing gas wells and is going down double shift for deeper strata and higher pressure.
 It now has put on the market splendid land addition lying in West Huntsville adjoining the corporate limits of the old city on which are producing gas wells. These lots are at practically wholesale prices, payable 10 per cent cash and 5 per cent monthly.
 When the deeper strata is reached, which will only be a short while, a boom in the price of these lots must and will follow as day follows night; the company wants gas consumers, not land profits. Buy now and get the benefit of the boom profits.
