II the Sun Were Blue.

If the sun were blue there would
be only two colors in the world, blue
and black; or if it were red every
thing would be red or black. In
the latter case, there would be red
snow, red lilies, black grass, a black
clear sky and red clouds. There
would be a little variety, however, if
the sun were green. Things that are
now yellow would still remain that
color, but there would be no reds,
purples, oranges, or pinks, and very
few of those CHEEKY hues that make
the world bright and pleasant. Be-
sides color the temperature of this
earth would be very much changed.

Eating and Reading.

Most public men enter a public
dining room, newspaper in hand,
glance at the bill of fare, order some
thing in haste and bury themselves
in sensations or calamity editorials.
Breakfast served they cart it In
scoopfuls to the buccal cavity, first
with one hand, then with the other,
changing the paper from right to
left and devouring the contents as
greedily as they bolt the food 1t is
not always a pleasing sight. But
time is short, you know Then there
is always a notion that such men are
nervous and seek TO hide their en-
barrassment through the paper. This
is an excellent device, far better than
lingering a glass of water, rattliag

SociabIe Spid ers.

Our native spiders are notable for
their extreme unsociability. OF those
which are spinners, each one con.
structs its web apart from those of its
kind and those which hunt, pursue
their prey alone. In other countries,
however, there are spiders which live
in communities, and one such, ma
tive of Mexico, is described by M. L..
Diguet 1t is known as the mosquero,
and makes a large nest in oaks and
other trees. Here the spiders live
gregariously, and along with them in
the nest is found a minute beetle and
another species of spider. The beetle
is said to act as scavenger. Parts
of the nest of the mosquero are hung
up in the houses during the wet sea-
son to get rid of the flies.

The First lsnuuaGe,

No one of the existing languages
has any legitimate claim to be con
sidered the original of the family of
languages, standing to the other as
L; tin, for instance. stands to Italian
and French. OF an original primitive
language of mankind the most patient
research has found no trace. All OF
-Assyrian, Phoenician. Hebrew,
Arabic-are sister languages, pointing
back to an earlier parent language,
which has long disappeared. Since
the historical period man has done lit
tie in the way of the absolute crea'
tion of language. The work had al
ready been accomplished ages before
the birth of written inscriptions.

In Geneva 500 were executed in three
months, 1000 were burned at Treves,
COO by a single bishop of Bamberg
and 500 in single year at Wurtz-
burg. At Toulouse 400 perished at one
execution. A judge at Kenny boasted
that he had put to death 500 witches
in sixteen years. A thousand were
executed in a single year in the prov
inoe of Como. witches" were exc

State Aid Reaches Needy

That the State aid extended to tub
erculous sufferers through the de
,,artmcnt of health dispensarics i,
rcuchiug the really needy, is evil
d,,nced by careful statistics that
Health Commissioner Dixon has
Just compiled.
These statistics which are based
upon total of 1858 patients eXam-
ined at the disrensaries, of whom
&, 72S were found to have tuberculosis
during a period of seventeen months
ending Dee. 81, 1908, show that the
average family income in the homes
from which the patients came was
$2l .63 per month. The average
number of persons in the family was
1 3S and the average per capita III
come WAS. $50.
"These facts are particularly graf
flying" said DR.. Dixon. "With
the thousands of tuberculous patients
we are ask, d 10 help, it is quite pos
sible the states charity is imposed
upOn. We are fully justified, how
ever, by the labulAted records, in
drawing the conclusion that the real
