The object Of the day is a worldwide en-
phasis Of the love and reverence men and
women owe to a good mother.
No nation is greater than its mothers
They have ever been the most loyal self
sacrificing Of patrts. Their influence has
inspired the superbest paintings, the loft
lest literature, the sweetest songs and the
noblest achievements. From slumdon tc
palace, a pure mother Yields a supreme
scepter.
True motherhood evokes homage Of
every cline, country, class, creed, and Its
worldwide honoring will light the flame
Of brotherhood in stranger and in foe.
The observance OF the day: Honor your
mother, or her memory, through some dis
tinct act Of kindness-a visit, q letter
Live this day as your mother would have
you live it. Have her as your guest OF
honor. Write her q letter Of praise and
gratitude. If she be not living, In GLAD

Strength in the idea: 1t Is not a day OF
idle sentimentalism. 1t evokes a renewal
Of womanhood, and will contribute to the
sanctity Of home and motherhood, and the
strengthen Of domestic and national in
tegrity. . .

HORSE FAMOUS IN HISTORY.
Tho Remarkable Story Of vsiiiAntifs.
the stsed RsIaad Rode.

From the ninth century the horse
lcgan figuring prominently in history,
and the many signs Of intelligence he
displayed have been chronicled in ro-
mances. in odes. aud u many other
historical writings.
Ii was in tlIis century that the first
aiIusi0n to horse racing, as we under
stand il. and 10 running" horses. as
race horses continued To be called for
many centuries afterward. is to be
found in history, when Hugh. the
founder Of the royal house of Caput in
France, made present OF running
horses to King Atlielstan in the hope
that In return the king might allow
him 10 wed his sister. Etheswitha
Al this period Iien.ist and Horsa
are said by some historians to have
displayed interest in horse racing. but
the statement is not based upon In
disputable evidence and more than the
assertion that, because Hengist and
Horsa are alleged by one historian at
Least TO have given the order that
forms of horses should be cut upon the
chalk hills of BERKSHIRE. therefore the
Saxon banners must have borne as Il
device u white horse.
The white horse at Vantage other
historians declare to have been cut in
connemoration OF Aifred's great vic
tory over the Danes at the battle OF
Aescendun or Ashtreehill during the
reign Of his brother. Ethelred /. Its
length is 314 feet. and even at dis
tance Of nearly fifteen miles it Is dis
tinctly visible in clear weather.
1t was about this period. says the
Detroit Free Press, that the immortal
Roland and his equally famous horse,
Veillantin. are mentioned in history,
though owing to the pair having fig
ured SO largely in romance the actual
truth about them can be traced only
with dinaculty.
Roland is said to have been eight
feet tall. and all descriptions of Veil
lantiff show him to have been of pow
erful proportions, which would be re-
quired to carry such heavy burden.
Roland's horse must have been an in
comparable charger and more intelli-
gent than even his master. for 1t is re-
lated that whenever Roland was hard
pressed Veillantiff obtained knowledge
Of the fact in some mysterious way
and at once carried Roland out Of dan
ger ~ far as he was able.

said that every state In the Union has

New York there are several societies
which have for their object obiteration

Some half dozen years ago the Mer-

formed to investigate the pollution of

work brought the investigators to the

traps in different parts of the city. The
examination Of the legs of the captured
flies for disease germs was an easy
matter. The city's health statistics
also were examined, and it was ascer-
tained that Il fearful mortality from
typhoid fever prevailed within the
neighborhood in iuXtaposition TO the
garbage docks. When this fact was
discovered no time was lost in ac-
quainting the public of the fact and
methods were taken to improve condi-
tons.
In other places it was soon seen that
the epidemics of typhoid We're directly
due to the fly,

Some of the questions and answers

No, not if they use food over which

DO flies carry sickness and death to
many people in the United States:
There are nearly 100000 cases of ty-
