land in the house Of lords. 1t is q
large square bag Of wool. without
either back or arms, and covered with
red cloth, the whole forming kind Of
cushioned ottoman, standing near the
center of the chamber. According to
Brewer, the origin Of the Woolsack Is
as follows: In the reign Of Queen
Elizabeth an act Of parliament was
passed to prevent the expectation Of
wool; and that this source Of the ma

Morality and Beauty,

So many people think If they have
an ill-fitting dress, eat badly cooked
dinner and have no ravishment in the
clean, sweet use of the senses. they
are leading a moral life. 1t is a pro.
found depth of immortality to be able
to live without beauty, and perhaps
the most tragic thing in our social sys.
tenn is, that while one class has sur
felt of beauty and show which they
mistake for beauty, another class is
deprived of beauty altogether. 1t is
more beauty we want and less luxury

Natural Religion.


Religion should be native 1t should
be concrete and applicable. Religion
is the natural expression of living, not
a set of actions or of habits, or pos
ture of the mind added to the daily
life. The type of religion, therefore, is
conditioned on the kind of living; and
the kind of living is conditioned, In it's
turn, very largely, on the physical aad
economic effectiveness of life. The re-
ligion of The open country should run
deep into the Indigenous affairs of the
open country. Everything with which
men have to do needs to be spiritual
lied. This is much more effective for
our civilization than merely to spirit
ualize things that We hope for.

When Rubber Was a PIaythino,

When rubber was first discovered 1t
was plaything. The discovery was
made during Columbus second voy-
age, when Herrera found that the ma
tives of Hayti played a game with
balls made of the gum of tree. "
Even as early as the beginning of the
seventeenth century, however, the
Spaniards used rubber to waterproof
their cloaks, but the fact attracted no
attention in the old world, and it was
not until the eighteenth century that
the rubber industry began. Very
early in history there was an oil eX.
tracted from rubber which was taken
incidentally with cocoa.

WANT UNION LABEL
 OA THEIR CLOTHING
Customers in Phoenix Stores Object
 to Open Shop Goods.

"I want d blue shirt with a label in it, said a tall young laborer. evi- dently a carpenter, as he stood at the counter in one of the local cloth ing stores yesterday.
 Here you are" replied the clerk, pulling down box. No, that isn't it. Our label shirts are over here"
 The customer inspected one of the shirts from the new box. When 1t was handed over to him the first thing he did was to look inside the collar for the union label Finding what he wanted. he bought the shirt and left.
 That's one of the results of the unionizing of Phoenix said the clerk when the laborer had gone. Where one man asked to see the union label on his clothing d year ago. fifty in sist upon it now. Since the car penters. plasterers. barbers and other trades have organized the merchants are always on the lookout for union made goods Take it from me, union clothing Is hard to get. For instance, it is almost impossible to buy hat with the union label and all the higher grades of ready made clothing are made in open shops.
 It's the same way all over town. There is d demand for union goods of all kinds but particularly for un- ion clothing"

THE OLDEST BRITISH INDUSTRY.

The death of an old flint knapper" at Brandon, in Suffolk, recalls the fact that flint working is the oldest indus try in the British Isles. Experts be- lieve that some of the terms in use among the Brandon knappers are rel ics of the neolithic age. The ancient savage used the flakes of flint to tip his spear and javelin, or to dress skins. Then came the demand for strike lights" In the seventeenth century the industry was revived by the need for Hints for flintlOck small arms This continued until the per cussion cap was invented, but the industry was not even then killed entirely, for the flintlock guns were shipped abroad to Africa and Asia. and the demand for Hints brought many orders to the Brandon works. I do not know what the present prices are. but ten years ago when I was making a special study of the sub ject. they were: Second musket, 5s Sd. thousand: common musket. As Cd; second carbine, 5s; second horse pistol. 5s Sd; common horse pistol 2s 9d: common carbine, 4s Sd. London Daily News.

"A new rec ord for long fasting is believed to have been made by Roland Moeller, a young civil engineer, who after going fifty days without food. today began taking nourishment in the form of orange and plum juice. Young Moellcr whose father is q prominent physician of Milwaukee, began his fast for the purpose of re- gaining his health. He was suffer ing from stomach trouble.
 When he began his fast he weigh ed 1:S pounds. Today he weighs 97l4 ponds. For two or three weeks one of the four physicians who have been watching Moeller has been giv- ing him daily olive oil rubs. and these are believed to have given him nourishment sufficient to sustain him beyond the forty-day period of fast ing which physicians say is the limit of safety.

In these days when everybody wears good clothes you can't always tell just who or what they are with certainty. They may be what they now seem to be or they may not.
 We come to know our fellow guests names by hearing them spoken and by seeing them on letters when we are looking over the mail for our own, and then as we stay along in the same house together for a while we may get or think we get a good line on them, but we may make mis- erable blunders. I've met people that l have doped out as being quite con- siderable some punkins that turned out to be not so much; and then I've met away people that didn't talk loud who turned out to be considerable more than the modest sign they car ried said.
 And in these days you cant al ways tell with any sort of certainty by his appearance what business or profession d man is in. I have made myself some ridiculous mistakes in this way.
 We may be able to tell every clip what sort of a chap a man may be personally. whether he's sweet and wholesome and whether we'd trust him and that sort of thing, and yet not come within forty rods of guess ing right what he did for a living.
