She Is survived by two sisters in
Missouri, one in Washington, and one
in Ottumwa, and five grandchildren.
Although frail in body, she was ever
ministering to the necessities and COM
fort of not only her family. but to all
around her Her lovable disposition
made everyone her friend who knew
her, and to know her was to love her.
She confessed her faith in Jesus, and
while her last days were full of suffer
ing, her mind was clear and her faith
triumphant to the end. She knew the
Lord and as she drew near the end she
was anxious to depart and be with
him. Her life was a blessing to all
who knew her.
The esteem and love in which this
devoted mother, was held was shown
by the concourse of relatives and
friends who so largely attended at lne
funeral which was held in the NJ E.
church at Leando. The funeral serv-
ices were conducted by VIM. Heger

Looking Down From High Places.

Why do you feel giddy when you

pends largely on your vision or sight
When you walk in the dark you STUN
BILE and bump against things because
you are not used to walking without
seeing. It's the same when you are
away up above the ground and cannot
see familiar things in their familiar
places. Your eyes play you tricks,
you seem to lose your balance. and
your head feels giddy and your steps
are uncertain. If you practice long
enough you can learn to walk without
seeing, but until you have learned that
lesson be careful when you climb to

Gods of Machinery.

The ceremony of propitiating the

the printing machinery is annually
performed by the Hindu members Of
the Times of Malaga printing staff.
The usually prosaic machine and COM
posing rooms are turned into weird
caverns Of mystery, dimly Lit by can
dies and oil lamps, and odorous with
the heavy scent of incense and per-
fumes. Every machine is garlanded
and has placed before it an offering

even the "stone" comes in for a share

Straw For Hats,

The greater part Of the straw en-
ployed for making summer hats comes
from Italy. To obtain suitable straw
for this purpose the wheat is sOwn as
thickly as possible in order that the
growth of the plant may be impover-
ished as we'll as to produce a thin
stalk
The Italian wheat blooms at the be-
ginning Of June and is pulled up by
the roots when the grain is half de-
veloped Should it be allowed to re-
main in the ground a longer time the
straw would become too brittle for its
purpose.
Uprooted straws to the number OF
about five dozen, the size of the COM
pass of the two hands. are firmly tied
together in little sheaves and slowed
away in barns. After that the straw
is again spread out to catch the heavy
summer dews and to bleach in the sun.
When the product has been sufficiently
bleached it is put into small bundles
and classified
The last step is to cut it close above
the first joint from the top, when it is
again tied up IL small bundles contain
ing sixty stalks each and is then ready
for the market-Chicago Herald.
