Livinq Pictures for Girls.

So many girls have written asking
what entertainments they could give
to make money for charity, church or
Sunday school, and they all want
something without much work
now, it is impossible to get up things
without responsibility and work, but
l think Living Pictures" may be
made ready with the minimum of Ia
Dor, as there are nc parts to be memo
rized; so 1 am giving you a series of
pictures arranged by Caroline French
Benton. They are called THE Girl
Student In History" 1 think you will
be much pleased with the production,
and the directions are so plain you
will have no trouble in following
them.
1.-The Hebrew Girl. A large dark
girl. Her hair in two long braids; her
dress dark crimson, with a full skirt,
a rather loose waist, cut slightly
round at the neck and with no sleeves,
but with the drapery falling over her
arms. She sits at a low table, side
to the audience, and looks up at a
ldDD1, q NOly IulI udA AAoh1 C50S0
in flowing robes of deep blue with a
border and girdle with ends, a long
gray wig and large beard. He holds
a roll, it's top beginning at his Shout
der, it's end falling to the floor, made
like a narrow map on rollers. This
represents the Talmud. (See the pic
lures in an illustrated Old Testament.)
2.-Listening To Homer. This is a
copy Of Alma Tadema's famous pic
ture. Have some palms or other
foliage at the back of the stage and
a very long, white painted bench
across this. At one end sits a dark,
smooth-shaven young man bending
forward with arm on knee, dressed
in a thick tunic with a border, hold
ing a roll; one arm is on the back
of the bench. Two girls sit opposite

"Justice" Openly BOUGHT.

Removal of an unjust Judge from
the United States bench reminds the
Lo2don Chronicle hat centuries ago
justice was not administered nearly
so impartially as it is now. There
were the basket justices" who re-
ceived their nickname from the pres,
ents openly handed up to them in
court by suitors. And in more re-
cent times there were the trading
justices" satirized by Fielding in
Amelia" Townsend, the celebrated
Bow street runner, in his evidence
before a parliamentary committee in
1916, described how these justices
used to issue patches of warrants ev-
cry day ito take up all the poor devils
on the streets, so as to charge them
two shillings four pence each as bail.
Only the penniless offenders were
sent to Jail, and a mornings work
would sometimes produce G10 $500"
After which the worthy magistrate
and his clerk would adjourn to a
neighboring hostelry for refreshment.

BRITISH MUSEUMS TREASURE
Arabic Book, of Which There Is No
Other Copy In the World, Ac-
quired by That institution.

The trustees of the British museum
have just acquired a manuscript of
the Fadalih al-batiniyah, an account C
the doctrines of the harmathians,
Ismaili. and other ~esoteric and I'M
orthodt1 sects of Mohammedanism,
by the famous theologian, Muhammad
ibn MIiammad al-Ghazzali. This is
apparently a unique Arabic MS, as no
other copy is on record. In 1t the
author Systematically sets forth the
doctrines of the various sects and re-
flutes them. The work is of great
significance, as it supplies a very
early account Of these sects, some of
which are very important. Ghazzali
was born in A. D. 1859, and spent his
early years in Tus, Khorasan. He
studied under the great Imam al
Harma'nin at Nishapur. In A. d. 1901
he became a professor at the Mia
miya college, in Bagdad, where he
worked for four years. He then re-
signed in order to continue his own
studies and effect a satisfactory con-
corGat Of orthodoxy, reason and mysti-
cism. He died in Tus in A. D. I'LL.
His influence upon the later develop
ments of Islam has been enormous
Suyuti, a famous author, says: IF
there could be another prophet after
Mahomet, it would certainly be AL
G~hazzali." The present MS. was
copied in A. D.. 1865, and is perfect ex-
cept for a few pages at the beginning.

WEEDS REDUCE CROP YIELDS
interesting and Instructive Expert
ment Conducted at North Dakota
Agricultural College.

IBy w, G PALMER, Agricultural Editor.
North Dakota Agricultural College.)
That weeds reduce yields is evil
dent. To get some idea of how much
weeds might reduce yields | selected
a field that was weedy with pigeon
grass, the wheat was ripe. l meas
ured out a square yard at several
places, pulled the weeds carefully so
as not to disturb the wheat. The
weight of the weeds without roots
was as follows: 81 ounces, So ounces,
GA ounces. Sc ounces, and 60 ounces,
maxim gan average of sc ounces per
square yard. The first one is quite a
little above the average. If that is
left out the average will be 60 ounces
to the square yard, or three and three
fourths pounds. This would make
1880 pounds to the acre. A sam
pie of weeds was dried and gave 81
per cent. dry weight, or 3,049 pounds
Of dry matter, n and one-half tons,
or enough to reduce the yield of
wheat 20 bushels, provided wheat
could have made as good use of the
moisture and plant food. One thing
is certain, and hat is that the grow
ing of these weeds used up 2,100 tons
of water, the equivalent of IS inches
OF rainfall and that is rain that was
actually in the soil where the wheat
could have secured it. 1t is an ex-
pensive thing to have On the farm.

young women sit about the room en-
broidering; spare frames covered with
some tapestry chair-covering may rest

They wear dresses of soft colors
made perfectly plain, with long tight
ly-ttted sleeves; their hair is flowing;
on their heads are, first, short wells,
then tall, pointed caps of folded col
ored paper, from the tip of each of
which hangs a very light little tulle
veil. These caps should be about
two feet high and worn so that they
point backward. Marguerite wears a
violet-colored dress exactly like the
rest, but with a long mantle fastened
at the shoulders with clasps; this is
of dark velvet or brocade, with a rich
border made by sewing On tinsel.

her chin, fastening it on. She holds

a white tucker is put inside nearly
to the neck line. Embroidery turns
back at the edge of the gown and the
wrists. Her hair is drawn back with
out parting and a small, clcse-ftting
cap edged with pearls is worn. II

Tesuclsolpa. Capital @F1ondurao

benefit Of the small farmer. There
are many agriculturists in Honduras
well acquainted with the most modern
farming methods, and it is also their
desire to see improved machinery In
troduced among the poorer class.
These articles were translated INFO
the Spanish language and printed and
sent out by the government in its Of
fetal paper. The Hondurans gladly
read and commented on the articles.
The government co-operated, n
a farmer in the interior, who had pur-
chased an American pillow in some
name or other, confirmed my state
ments of the depth that it would cul-
tivate the ground, and of the beneht
such cultivation was to the crops.
Finally, a consignment of plows was
received and distributed to the farm
ers. Many were anxious to receive
them and they are now reaping the
benefit of large crops.
This is simply an instance of how
a consul may create a demand for the
products of his country, while at the
same time aiding the natives.
Mrs. Haeberle accompanied me
and made many friends. l believe we
enjoyed the confidence Of all with
whom we came in contact. Mrs. Haze
berle has served as a judge in needle
and art work at the schools, and has
| otherwise mingled with the Hon.
