she had removed the color of Italy.
and from her body, the glittering raj
ment of La Confetti.
Fran came up Ito the young man
from out the crowded street, all quiv-
ering excitement. In contrast with
the pulsing life that ceaselessly
changed her face, as from reflections
OF dancing light-points, his compcsure
showed almost grotesque.

quizzical glance at his face, "are you
ready for me? Come on, then, and
I'll show you the very place for u.s."
Abbott inquired serenely: Down

LEGEND OF GARDEN or EDEN
Oriental Christians Believe Banana
Tree Was the Source Of Good
and Evil.

There exists a legend relative to the
Christian inhabitants of the east that
they believe the banana to be the tree
of the source of good and evil, IN
bunch of the fruit Of which the SER
pent that tempted Eve hid itself, and
they add that when Adam and Eve be-
came ashamed of their nakedness,
they covered themselves with the
leaves of this plant.
The origin of the banana is given as
India, at the foot OF the Himalayas,
where it has been cultivated since re-
hottest antiquity, says the National
Geographic Magazine. Its origin IN
the new world is as doubtful as the
origin of the American Indian. Ma
tural to Asia and Africa, where more
than twenty distinct species OF the
genus are known, it is said to nave

Something pretty and useful as well

quarters of a yard Of lace plating
which is bought ready made. A circle

the crown. This Is gathered into the

Two yards of ribbon an inch and half

FAMILY OF FIVE
All Drank Coffee From Infancy.

1t is common thing in this country
to see whole families growing up with
nervous systems weakened by coffee
drinking.
That is because many parents do
not realize that coffee contains drug
-caffeine-which causes the trouble.
(The same drug is found in tea)
There are five children in my fam
ily," writes an Iowa mother, ''all or
whom drank coffee from infancy up
to two years ago.
"My husband and / had heart trouble
and were advised to quit coffee. We
did so and began to use Postum. We
now are doing without medicine and
are entirely relieved of heart trouble.

"Our eleven.year-old boy had weak
digestion from birth, and yet always
craved and was given coffee. When
we changed to Postum he liked 1t and
we gave him all he wanted. He has
been restored to health by Postum and
still likes it."

Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be boiled.
Instant Postum is a soluble powder.

sugar, makes a delicious beverage
instantly. Grocers sell both kinds.

Little Lesson in Efficiency.

A woman who has beeE studying the
science of household efficiency COM
ments that the obvious things that

serving time and energy in the doing
of the daily household tasks are the
ones that seem to make no impression
upon the average household. For in
stance. she says, always have the
draining pan when washing dishes
upon the left of the dishpan. You
naturally wash the dishes with the
right and hold them in the left. Then
set them down on the left without
using energy to reach across the right.

automatically established, however,
and some authorities include the ban

the base of food supply of the Incas

the Spaniards.
Certain it is that throughout the
whole meridional America there is a
strong tradition that at least two spe-
cies of the plantain were cultivated
long before the coming of the Euro
peans. Furthermore, it is singular
that in all the languages indigenous
to the region where the banana ap-
pears, the plant has a special name,
not proceeding from the conquerors,
as was the case with the names OF
many other plants, animals and vari-
GUS articles introduced into America

Grown over the entire extent of the

banana today forms in large part the
principal food of majority of the
peoples living under the tropical zone.

VALUE QUEER RELICS HIGHLY
LARGE Sums Have frequently Been
Paid for Articles That Many
Would Call GreWSome.


It is not every man, not every nero
worshiper, who would esteem the
tooth of his hero of more value than
diamonds. There is a ring belonging
to an English nobleman, in which the
place of honor, formerly occupied by
diamond, is given to tooth that
once did duty in a human jaw.
This tooth cost no less than three
thousand six hundred and fifty dol
lars; but it was the tooth OF Sir Isaac
Newton. A relic collector sold it at
auction in 1916, and the nobleman
who bought it gave it the place of
diamond in his favorite ring.
Another tooth, which so far excites
the veneration of hero worshlpers as
