church in turn.
Today's services were held in the
First Baptist Church, the sermon be-
ing preached by the Rev. H. NJ. Canter;

Musk In the raw looks a good deal
like axle grease and smells worse The
popular notion that the musk of com.
merce is obtained from the muskrat
Is mistake. There is obtained a
somewhat similar perfume from the
muskrat but most of the supply
comes from the musk deer. a crea-
ture that is carefully reared in India
for the sake of the secretion. The
secretion is shipped In the crude state
and is used not only in the manufac-
ture of the liquid perfume sold as
musk, but also in very small quaint
ties to give strength and staying pow
er to many perfumes made from the
essential oils of flowers. Curiously
enough, the blossoms of two native
plants have a noticeably musky odor
One is the small yellow blossom of
creeping vine known as the musk
plant. Its odor is marked and is coun-
terfeited In the commercial perfume
called musk. The other Is the blood
root. The pure white blossom OF that
early spring plant has distinct
though delicate musky odor A bean
known as the musk bean is a cheap
substitute for animal musk.

Old Daddy Longleus.

Everybody is well acquainted with
the insect called daddy longlegs.' but
not everybody knows that there is evil
dence to show that this strange little
creature, towering high upon its thread
like stills, is probably more ancient
inhabitant of America than any repre-
sentative OF the human species. Far
back In tertiary time, at the very dawn
OF the modern world, its ancestors
lived. we are told, in great numbers In
that part of the continent which we
call Colorado. The fossil remains of
these insects show the characteristic
features that mark them today. al
though new species have taken the
place of the old, for even daddy long
legs knows what evolution is and has
attained to something that In his view
Is perhaps kind of civilized existence
suitable to the exigencies of life in the
twentieth century.-Harper's Weekly.

An Ancient Die

In the museum at Athens is shown
what is probably the only genuine
antique die used for coinage that Is
now extant. 1t was found in Egypt in
1904 and consists of bronze, engraved
with the owl that was stamped on
Athenian tetradrachma pieces, which
contained about as much silver as
three quarter dollars. The die is of
scientific interest on account Of the
evidence it gives of the skill of the
ancients three or four hundred years
before Christ in metallurgy. 1t con-
tains about 221a per cent of tin and
nearly 20 per cent Of copper 1t is
extremely hard. but at the same time
possesses a certain malleability, due to
the great purity of the copper and
tin, which were carefully freed from
all traces of lead and zinc to preserve
the hardness and from arsenic and
anthony to avoid brittleness.--Har
