Water Lotus Has Power to Purify
Standing Water-Never Falls

There is a plant growing in the
southern waters of the United States
which possesses the singular property
of being able to render the most im'
pure standing water perfectly healthy.
The people of Louisiana and Missis'
sippi call it the water lotus. 1t con-

head of a pin, and roots so fine as to
escape notice save under a micros'
copic inspection.
Where it grows at all, it owe the

looks like a coating of greer scum,
But wherever it does appear the wa
ter beneath is always fit to drink. So
marked is this property that families
using the water from bayous where
the lotus is abundant are known to
have better general health than those
taking their drinking water from
places where the lotus is not found.
1t is often transplanted into ponds.

The shrines of Chill.

At various places in Chile, dotted up
and down the countryside, may be
found many small shrines. Some con-
sist of. a small, hut-like arrangement,
others are mere holes cut into neigh
boring rocks; while others, again, are
nothing more than a hollow pile Of
stones. They usually mark the spot
where some one has met his death by
violence, and the shrine is built by the
pious friends of the deceased, who
keep candles burning in it to light the
departed soul on its way. One little
cement hut which | saw was rather a
neat one of its kind. and must have
taken some trouble to set up, as it is
placed about ten miles from the near
est township and on a very bad road.
The melted wax from the candles has
flowed out down the side of the hill.

In remembrance Of Richard Fuenza-

Both Cases in Point.

How Roman civilization stretched

all Europe. supplanting tribal rule
with municipal culture, without once
outraging the traditions Of the con-
quered tribes. was the story told by
Prof. James Smith Reid of the Uni

the Lowell institute in his lecture on
the municipal side of the Roman EN-

Prof. Reid declared that the idea

historians and students of Roman con.
ditions that the Romans maintained
but n form of government for the
cities has been o%verthrown by new
evidences on the subject in the form
of fragments of various forms of
codes OF municipal law. A notable
example. the one where the most com
plete code remains to posterity, is the
old Greek city of Tarentum, whose
municipal code when it came under
the Roman franchise is practically
complete. The Romans would not lay
down a general rule for the govern
ment of their municipalities, but each
was adapted to the needs of the com.
munity and the phase of its ciyiliza-
ton.
Scholars little recognize the amount
of work which the Romans had to do
in ciyilizing Italy itself. Without in

MAKING LOVE IN PORTUGAL
Chief Point of Difficulty Is Getting
Admitted to the Presence of
the Fair One.

The most important event in the
life of a Portuguese woman is mar
riago Next in Importance are the
early days of courtship. for a Portu-
guese courtship is the ssenc of ro-
nance, and the ways of the Portu-
guese lover are |singularly picturesque.
Here is a little drama In which Cupid
is stage director. II a young Portu-
guese sees in the street a pretty girl
with whom he would like to become
acquainted, he follows her. Chaperons
are not impossible distractions. He
follows her right up to her very door
and notes the address. Next day he
comes again, and if the young lady APP
proves of him-for she certainly saw
him the day before-sh she is on the
lookout.
Sometimes hard fate in the guise of
an angry parent prevents her, and
then The gallant youth is kept wait
ing Sooner or later she leans ove
the balcony and smiles at him. The
happy youth ties a note to a cord
which the fair lady drops from the
balcony. The next day the young man
again. This time he rings at
the door. If the inquiries which the
young lady's elders have made prove
satisfactory. the swain is admitted to
make the acquaintance of the young
lady. After that, courtship in Portugal
is about the same as 1t is in Kankakee
or Kalamazoo.-Leslie's Weekly.

To Remove Whitewash.

When the ceilings or walls of rooms
have been covered with several sue.
cessive coats of whitewash and this
withstands the scraping process, COM
monty applied with a stout broom or
scraper, the following treatment will
be found successful in removing it.
Take three pints of flour and beat
smooth with cold water; then pour
boiling water to it until it is cooked
into a fairly thick paste. Dissolve one
pound of alum in hot water and pour
it into the paste. Apply this over
the adhering whiteWash on walls or
ceiling. being careful to cover it thor
oughly. Then close the room, and let
it stand over night. In the morning
the bits of lime which may be left
clinging to the walls are easily
brushed off. Before papering a room
all nail holes and cracks in the plaster
should be filled with a stiff paste of
plaster of paris mixed with water. This
should be allowed to dry before the
paper is applied.

After the Eats.

AS a country Germany has fewer
rats than any other in the world. This
is due to the interest taken by the
government in their destruction. II a
boy applies to the mayor of his town
he is furnished with traps and paid
half a cent for every skin he brings.
In large towns there are 100 boys at
work all the time. The cost of traps
and bait makes each skin cost the
government about a penny. but as
every rat destroys five dollars worth a
year, this makes a tremendous saving.
The mice, though destructive. are
not looked after by the government.
1t is expected that every household
will protect itself. However, a reward
of a penny is paid for every three

There are not a few women in the
world to-day who complain bitterly
that their life is i%nsufferably dull.
They are almost bored to death with
the monotony of their existence.
The consequences of a dull life are

The Unique Rat.

From letters received 1t would seem
possible to make out quite a case for
the rat. Not only has he served as

from the rats his servant shot with a
bow and arrow-but Mr.. Frank Buck

are eminently suitable for glove-ma-

Unique Birthday Celebration.

An unusual function took place at
Brighton, Eng, one day recently.
when a large gathering of medical
lei and others met to celebrate the
second birthday of the local "Siamese
twins" DR.. Rooth, the practitioner
who attended them at birth. says:
THE children are doing very we'll, and
are quite up 10 the normal size for
their age. They are showing signs
o" considerable intelligence, and can
converse in a fashion with each other.
They play and quarrel, and are al
ways in good health. There is much
more mobility than expected there
would ever be between them, but SO
far their efforts to stand have not
been successful They have a wooden
framework, in which il is hoped later
on that they will be able to learn to
balance themselves; but | fear walk

been named, have developed a decided
taste for sweetmeats beloved of the
normal child, and each has her Teddy

The Comets Tail.

The tail OF a comet is composed OF
gas, existing in a highly rarefied con,
dition. Little particles of electricity
called corpuscles, or ions, are being
constantly given off at enormous
speed by the sun. Each meteorite in
the comets head IS surrounded by its
own rarefed atmosphere. When one
of these little ions strikes one of the
molecules of gas in the comets at,
mosphere, it carries it off with it ia
form the tail. The electrical charge
makes the gas luminous, and it is by
this light, and not by reflected sun
light, that the tail is made visible to
us. A comets tail. therefore, seeing

Dating canned goods would, it is
admitted, make a lot of trouble for a
few years, or until the business had
become adjusted to the new condi

believe that the industry would be
better off with tins dated. There
would be less over-production and a

HOW THE WORLD HAS MJvED

Alexander Wells, an old citizen of
Wellsville. o.. has n copy OF an inter
esting aud novel document issued by
the school board of the town of Ian
caster. O.. in 1928. The question of
steam railroads was in its ineipient
stage and a club of young men had
been formed for the purpose of dis
eussing the points at issue. They de-
sired the use Of the sehoolhouse for
purposes Of debate. This WAS looked
upon by the members Of the board as
an innovation bordering upon sac.
rilege. as indicated. which Is the docu-
ment in the possession of Mr.. Wells.
1t reads as follows:
You are welcome to the use of the
schoolhouse IL debate all proper ques-
lions in. but such things rs railroads

the Word of God about them, If God
