MOURNING CUSTOMS.

They Ar vsry Ancient. and Experts
Differ ~ 10 Thsir 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
inally a disguise assumed as protec-
ton from the dead persons spirit.
The idea was that the deceased was
naturally disguised to md himself
dead and that he wreaked his resent.
ment upon his relations Therefore
the relations thought that to alter
their appearance would be a 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 moarners used-such
Us the veil. the turning OF the clothes
inside out and the shaving Of the head
as practiced by the Ainos-were sim
pie enough, but supernatural beings
were always, it appeared. easy te
trick.
Another theory Of mourning was
that it was put on to warn people thai
its wearers had been conta minated by
death. There was an idea Of pollution
attached to the great mystery. Al
early people shared the horror OF dealt
and the fear Of the return OF the spir
its. Thus in the Sudan widows sprin
kle their food with ashes to preven
their husbands ghosts from eating it

The efforts of two pairs of young

Patchwork.

The idea that patchwork had its
origin In America il not founded on
fact. A thousand years before the
Christian era a queen Of Egypt went
down the Nile to her last resting place
under q wonderful canopy Of skins
that were dyed and pieced together In
a mosaic pattern. Years before this
work had reached perfection and &C.
quired a definite place among the arts.
Then. too. patchwork quilts were made
In England in the eighteenth century,

The Hawaiian Lang uaae.

The language OF Hawaii is very sim
pie. To one who hears It for the 6rst
time comes the conviction that the ab-
orisines expressed their sentiments in
primitive vowel sounds. to which some
consonants have been added. Each
vowel Is sounded as In Latin. and the
words are easily pronounced by one
who Is patient and wishes to speak
disiinctly. The pronunciation will be
all the better II the speaker will draw
out, almost drawi. the vowel sounds,
for which reason the language IL we'll

ROMANCE.

Life is real, that's the truth, real.
so real that it is like dry dust in the
throat. Even the matter-of-fact, prac-
tical person who has to cough once in a
while to escape choking.
But the streak of romance is the
twilight dew which refreshes and
strengthens us for the on-coming sui
try day. which ever is awaiting us.
Few of us are so poor and unfortun
ate as not to possess in some degree
of thickness or thinness the streak Of
romance, that faculty by which we
transmute dull brass into pure gold.
and SO, thank goodness! remain blind
to its inevitable furnishing.
If ever it is going to show it will
show in youth.
Then for q while even the dullest
of US sometimes strike divine fire from
the hard anvil of everyday ex.
istence.
AS q general thing, however, we
smash q thumb while doing it, and
thereafter nurse the same in sulky
and resentful silence, steadily refusing
to have another try.
Once in a while you run across a
poor soul who even in youth lacks the
streak of romance.
Love to him is amtter of a more
or less inconvenient and expensive at
| tachment, marriage a matter of good
food and good housekeeping, benevo-
lence a cold matter of business, and
labor q mere means of making a liv-
ing.
Yet the matter-of-fact mortal pities
the romantic, the enthusiastic, the alb
sent minded Jack-odreams, who lives
alternately in hot raptures and cold
awakenings, who raves today to weep
tomorrow, who follows with heading
footsteps the will-o-the-wisp of happi.
ness which dances before the hills and
hollows of life.
But Jack-o-dreams reaches heights
and touches depths which forever are
unknown sweet Quantities to the mat
ter-of-facth mortal.
| The streak of romance fades and
vanishes with most my middle age
