Puritans Fond Of Lace.

In Puritan times. though the bob
bins were carved with texts warning
the workers against the pomps and er-
rors of this wicked world. lace was
still worn to great extent, the family
of Oliver Cromwell in particular hav-

costly varieties. and after his death
his body was clothed in garment
more richly trimmed with lace and

lesson il aaelIe leaend..

The first years OF the twentieth cen.
tcry have brought something new and
reyiving to the literature OF the
world, It is great fountain Of Cache
legend that has been eagerly vel
coined, for there is a reaction against
nineteenth century materialism which
tends TO express itself in the love OF
symbols. This great store OF newly
unearthed legend has stimulated the
imagination Of the world with strange
tales and passions and phantasies and
fairy kingdoms. II has resulted in a
Celtic movement" How much the
world owes to the imagination Of this
race many people are unaware. Be

existed in Gaelic legends OF the weird
pu<gatory seen by the pilgrims who

ItaIx,s FIGHT Against Malaria.

Reports from American consular Of
ficers in Genoa and Leghorn, prepared
in response of inquiries from the Unit
ed States as to the market in Italy
for remedy for malaria, show that
the prevalence of malaria in that king
domha steadily declined in recent
years, mainly due, it is stated, to the
energetic measures of the Italian gov
eminent. Quinine prepared at the
State Military Pharmacy at Turin is
said by Consul General James A.
Smith to be on sale at all government
tobacco shops at 4 cents a gram and
is distributed gratis to poor patients

caused by malaria was estimated at
