YOUNG
Mothers

No young woman, In the Joy of
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the phys
ica1 ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both she and her coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mothers Friend
prepares the expectant mothers sys-
tenn for the coming event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all it's
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con-
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
baby too is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for natures supreme
function. No better advice could be
given a young expectant mother than
that she use Mothers Friend it is

Legend of the Founding Of a Persian
College at Mesned.
The following story from the Per
sian manuscript of which a transla-
ton has been published under the title
''The Glory Of the Saia World" reads
Ike a passage IN the Arabian
Nights" 1t tells Of a Persian at
Meshed who had founded a college
with wealth gained in a remarkable
manner:
Zone day a rich merchant asked him
whether he was willing to work at a
place to which he would be conducted
blindfolded. Being a fearless Kerma-
nj and very poor, he agreed, and was
led through many streets to court
yard, where the ban1age was remov-
ed, and he was ordered to dig hole
and bury gold coins and jewelry. This
he did for several days. and. being
searched before he left, he saw no
chance of lettering bis condition.
However, one day he saw a cat,
which he killed and ripped open. He
then sewed up some money and jew
els inside it and threw it over the
wall. After this, when his work was
done, he wandered about until he
found the cat and not only secured the
money hidden in its body, but also
learned the position of the house.
ats owner shortly afterward died,
and the astute Kermani bought his
house with the gold sewed up inside the
cat. AS the merchant had never re-
vealed his secret to any one he became
his heir and, in turn, when dying, be-
queathed his money for the pious task
of founding and maintaining a col
lege."

LonoIows DIALECT.

a Perfectly Recognizable Child OF the
Old l<sntish Tongue.
In a little book entitled -London's
Dialect" Mr.. Mackenzie Macbride chal-
lenges the view expressed by the edu-
cation department OF the London
county council that there Is no Lon
don dialect OF reputable antecedents
and origin" and that ''the cockney
mode Of speech Is a modern corrup-
ton"
He points out that the London dia-
lect. especially on the south side of
the Thames. Is a perfectly recogniz~ BILE
child of the old Kentish tongue. to
which we owe our earliest written lit
erature. ''Thet'' for That" "benk" for
bank" "keb" for e." are remnants
Of the old Kentish mode Of pronuncIa-
ton.
In the Kentish dialect that" was
spelt "thet" as early as A. d. SIS. The
use OF "f' for "a" as in ''lIdy." was
common from the Trent to the Thames
in EIizabeth's time. and John Stow
writing in 1880. gives US "byIyffe" for
"bailiff." The use Of Eau" for ''a'' In
such cockneyisms as telegraph" Is
of very old origin. and ''abaht" and
"ahtside" are both warranted by an
cient use. As for KEEP" and 'slep'
without the final IT." they are really
interrupted words. the ''t' being ar

Correct wav to Roll Umbrella.

A badly rolled up umbrella, besides
looking unsightly, does not wear half
as long as it ought to. The process Of
rolling an umbrella is very simply.
The majority hold it by the handle and
keep twisting the stick with one hand,
while with the other they twist and
roll the silk. Instead of this they
should take hold of the umbrella just
above the ribs Of the cover. These
points naturally lie evenly with the
stick. They should be kept hold Of
and pressed tightly against the stock
and then the cover should be rolled up.
Holding the ribs thus prevents them
from getting twisted out Of place or
bending out Of shape, and the silk Is
bound to follow evenly and roll smooth
and tight If an umbrella is rolled in
this fashion 1t will look as If newly
bought for a long time.-Boston Her
