OF the three women whose birthday Is
commemorated on July 80 probably the
best known is Alice Beckington. one of
the few women among American artists
TO have gained celebrity abroad. Miss
Beckington was born in ST. Louis in
1858, and after having studied art in New
York, she took up her new studies in
Paris. Her home at present is in one
Of the old colonial towns Of Massachu-
setts. - -..

who later settled in Mount Holyoke where
Lettie spent two years at the college for
women recently established in that place.
Miss Bigelow gained her first distinction
as temperance worker and for many
years acted as the editor of TRUE Light, {"
the organ of the Woman's Christian Tenn

brought her country wide reputation. 1t
was later her verse which gave her last

Harriet Leonora vose Bates was born
In Illinois on July 30. 1856. She is chiefly
remembered as the author of a series of
delightful sketches Of life in old Salem,
Massachusetts, and as the wife of the
editor. Arlo Bates. II has been said
that these sketches las pictures of life
in an ancient New England town are
unsurpassed for humor, clever, character
drawing and delicacy Of touch"

itself has developed into a duty Of no
small magnitude When childs scalp
is healthy, the hair should be washed
once a week with pure CASTLE soap ana

fuzzy look that is so essential. The best
and quickest method Of shampooing Is TO

hot water and allow It TO become thor

Venus and Mercury both rule strongly in

Uranus are adverse.
Although Venus is friendly wemen
should interpret the sway as a sinister
one, since it may awaken the spirit OF
romance and at the same time cause de-
ceptions and lack Of discrimination in

There is a happy augury for weddings
and for outdoor fetes Of every sort
1t is a lucky day for actors, artists. and
musicians who desire to win popularity.
There is a good omen for first appear

taurants should benefit greatly under this
configuration. There is an encouraging
sign for summer resorts. Today and to-
morrow are held to be especially fortu-
nate for fishing.
Saturn gives hint of serious disasters
next month. Paris Is still under an in
imical rule, which may cause more loss
Of life and property than at any time In

predicted.
Anarchists are to do damage in India

The death Of a woman who has been

Uranus gives warning Of the growth of
superstition through tampering with the
occult. An awakening TO facts that prove
as scientifically certain hitherto contested
theories will lead to belief In gobelins of

THE PRINCESS AND THE BIRD

they said goodby and rode away.
And the little bird tapped his
pretty wings and flew into the
forest.
When the week had passed
the two Processes met at the
edge Of the woods, as they had
agreed. Their friend the bird
was there, too, and he sang more
beautifully than ever this song,
"Be good, be good, be happy be
happyI
At first the Princesses hardly
recognized each other. ooh, how
YOU have changed exclaimed
the Princess Heloise. why,
you're beautiful
And you look so happy" re-
piled the Princess Elaine. Your
eyes fairly dance and your lips
smile As she finished. the
bird flew off the tree and alight-
ed on the pommel Of her saddle;
my DEAR" he said, you tried
so hard to be good when you
really were good, that YOU be
came beautiful! And you, Prin-
cess" he chirped, flying over
to the Princess Heloise, YOU
wished to be good and kept on
trying, until you found that Just
irving made YOU happy! You
have both found out a secret,
he continued, as he again
perched himself on the tree; 1T
is the secret Of my songH And
he sang sweet and clear: 1T
YOU want to be happy, be good,
be goodl If you want to be
beautiful, be good, be good
Thank you, little bird| said
both Processes, as they rode
away, I'VE shall always rcmem-

w that it means living both UNI
der water and on land it is not hard
to remember. And that is why this
strange little plant is called "amphi-
oious knotweed." 1t hourishes both
in the water and upon the land. But
it seems to prefer the water, and
many slow-running streams in the
North are frightened by its rose
colored flowers during the months
OF July and August.
These flowers are rather snowy,
and formed in dense spikes. They
have very little odor, if any. although
bees and insects frequently visit
them. Few members of the buck
wheat family are so little known and
appreciated as the amphibious knot
weed.
The leaves vary in shape-some-
times they are heart-shaped, again
they are nearer oblong. The leaf
stalk is very long, and the leaves
usually float. The stem is under the
water, where the roots are growing
in the mud. The dubious root stalk
lives through the winter and is
ready by early spring to begin pre-
pairing for its display OF beautiful
flowers in the summer.

~ strange to say, was not
beautiful. She was like a great
many girls who are not prin-
cesses-she wasn't even good
looking. At the same time, she
had a nice disposition, which,
after all, is a great deal better
than a pretty face. Neither did
this princess have lots OF beau
tiful clothes; and having been
brought up not to have them,
she really didn't care. Her chief
delight was to ride through the
country on horseback, with her
big dog at her side.
One day, as she entered the
forest, she heard a little bird
singing on a tree, "If YOU want
to be happy, be good, be good
But l am happy" replied the
Princess, refining in her horse,
