WHAT ARE We EERE FOR!
By EDWIN A. NYE.

What are We here for:
What is the prime purpose of life:
Some Of US act as il we were here
merely for the purpose of adding W
columns Of figures and piling up pyrG
mids OF dollars. Some Of US will rot
our nights Of sleep, break the com
mandments and callous our souls foi
the sake Of money that we cannot use
silly?
No more so than those who think
we are in this world for the purpose
OF acquiring power. To be accounted
somebody inside some little circle
these will ride remorselesslv over the
rights of others. For the mere pleas
IRE of exercising power they will rise
on the stepping stones of PROSTATE
souls.
Futile?
Not more SO than those who think
life should be dedicated TO pleasure
These try to fill their days and nights
with joy rides and feetng sensa tons
safety and destroy their capacity fol
normal satisfaction.
What then are we here for?
BY the process of elimination 1t can
be shown that a human being is sc
built that every power pleasure, &C
quirement, is in vain save one.
And that:
The power and pleasure OF doing
good to others.
Oh, but you say
THAT Is Sunday school talk" No:
1t is not. Or if it is it is not true be.
cause it is taught in Sunday school;
1t is taught there because it is true.
1t is Gods truth.
The law Of it is laid in the constitu-
ton Of things. 1t is attested by all
history and experiel2ce-a law as true
as any in mathematics. And
We know it. But, like Jonah, we are
forever running away from our mis-
sion. We prefer the perils Of the sea
and the habitat OF the fish's stomach
to going to Nineveh.
Get money?
Yes, as much as you can--hOnestly.
And get as much power as you can
use for good. Incidentally the pleas

him to step up with the left foot. In

MOURNING CUSTOMS.
They Arc Very Ancient, and Experts
Differ a. to Their Origin.


The origin of going into mourning
was discussed recently by a body Of
anthropologists. Some students hold
that the wearing of black was orig
inaliy a disguise assumed as a protec-
ton from the dead persons spirit.
The idea was that the deceased was
naturally Disguised to find himself
dead and that he wreaked bis resent.
ment upon his relations. Therefore
the relations thought that to alter
their appearance would be means of
escape, and all over the world wells
were used to hide the faces OF mourn
ers-a practice still surviving In the
impenetrable veil OF the widow.
The DISCUSSES mourners used-such
as the veil. the turning of the clothes
inside out and the Shawn. of the head.
as practiced 10y the Ainos-were slm-
pie enough, but supernatural beings
were always, 1t appeared. easy to
trick.
Another theory OF mourning was
that 1t was put on to warn people that
its wearers had been contaminated by
death. There was an idea OF pollution
attached to the great mystery. All
early people shared the horror OF death
and the fear of the return Of the spir-

Two days in the week, Monday and

In college language, these were known
as boiling days. On the remaining
days the meat was roasted, and to
them the nickname OF roasting days
was fastened. With the flesh went al,

days came round, pudding and cab

added.
The only delicacy to which no stint
was applied was the cider. beverage

of cheese in the farm home with the
appliances which will usually be
found on the farm. A reliable dairy
thermometer will be necessary, for
success in cheese-making depends to
a large extent upon the proper control
of temperature, and the "rule of

We will assume that 100 pounds,
which is about IL gallons, of milk is
to be used. Should greater or a
