A globe lamp shade frame forms the
basis and is covered with curled petals

One of the most important phases OF

that are being admitted to the United

who are mentally UNFIT" said DIR. White
yesterday, land the importance Of dee
termining what effect their intermarriage
with Americans will have on the sanity
of the population of the country is one
of the big problems that confront the
students of mental hygiene"
DIR. White says that the percentage Of
insane is comparatively stable By the
the last census OF the insa1e there are
In the public institutions of the United
States about 10000. The average cost Of

There is no sure way OF estimating

Fin MacCoul was the undisputed
champion OF Ireland. Not another of
the islands many giants dared oppose
him. But Bennandonner, the champion
giant of Scotland, thought he would
like to give this Irishman a good beat
ing. He said that he certainly would
come over and do 1t, too, IL II were not
winter and the water too cold for
swimming. But Fin wouldn't let him
have this for an excuse, and called his
blum by building a great causeway
from Scotland to Ireland. Bennandon-
ner had to come over. and Fin gave
him a good drubbing: bu. being a gen.
erous giant. he allowed the Scotsman
10 marry and settle in ireland. Tradi-
tion says that Bennandonner did this
very gladly.
After the death OF the giants the
causeway was not used very much, and
IL gradually sank beneath the sea.
Only parts of IL are now visible-on
the coasts of Scotland and Ireland and
Of Rathlin Island. Such was the origin
of the Giants Causeway-or at least
taht is what they tell you In Ulster.
The Giants Causeway Is situated on
the north coast o. County Antrim. Ire:
land. II is divided into the Little
Csuseway. the Honeycomb. and the
Grand Causeway. Its pillars are five
or six sided. In diameter fifteen TO
twenty inches, and in height some are
twenty feet. Fer nearly n hundred
yards out to sea the Causeway is al
ways above water.
Near the Giants Causeway are the
ruins OF Dunluce Castle. This huge
pile of turrets and towers is perched
on the tops Of tall rocks 100 feet above
the sea. In the old days only a draw
bridge connected the castle with the
but now a narrow wall has
been built II must have been pretty
near impregnable in those early times

OBITUARY

Mr.. Silas j. Green was born Dec
ember 18th 1927, and departed this
life September 18th, 1912, at the
age of IS years, 9 months and two
days. He was one of Jackson coun-
tvs oldest and best citizens. He
was married to Miss Mary Ann
Quilliams about the year 1849, and
to that union were born six child
rem, all Of whom were Girls. Three
died while young and three vet
survive.
Silas was blind. He had not en-
joyed seeing anything Of this world
for many years; but he now enjoys
seeing heaven and all its beauties.
He lived as close to Christ as any
one whom we know of. He was a
loving husband and kind father.
He often said to his wife and daugh-
ter who was at home with him:
Remember to keep the command
ments of God as much as you can.
The daugter, being an invalid, has
suffered most of her life, and he
often said to her: Daughter, be
ready to change worlds when the
summons shall come, for as you
have suffered, so try to make a
happy change" And when he was
on his dying bed he was often heard
in prayers and supplication to God
to remove him from his suffering
if it was His will; he would resign
himself in all things wholly to thu
will Of God.

be waiting for her, where she will
never suffer nor sorrow again:
where father, mother, brother and
are all united in one loving family.
Silas had been great sufferer for
for long time, during which time
he often spoke of the command
ments and Christ's farewell words
to His disciples and would say to
his invalid daughter: Let not your
heart be troubled: We believe in God
believe also in me. In my Fathers
house are many mansion; if it were
not 50 would have told you" Silas
knew the Son went back to the
Father to prepare a place for him.
and he is there, now, filling the
place, for his life was lived here on
earth for a home in heaven. And
as the feeble daughter knows that
the next call will be for her she
promises God that if he will hear
and answer her prayers she will
soon see her father again, While
it's lonely here without her father,
it sweet to think that she will soon
J meet him again.
His dying words were: I'm going
to see my companion and children,
but best of all, I'm going to see the
Lord" While he was dying he call
ed the names of his deceased wife
and children and host of other
names. and would say, Il can all
most touch the hands of them"
And as we know the angels were in
his room and around his bed, wait
ing to take his spirit home, can we;
not say, all is well, and know that
from his grave springs a hope tkdt
will not die, of the beauty and
sweetness of a pure life? =.
