The PESKY FLY

The pesky fly
Is coming back.
He'll make you sigh,
If screens you lack,
Or if your head is bare.
From barns he comes
And where he may,
He spreads in sums
Which add each day,
His microbes everywhere.
1t does him good
With half a chance,
Upon your food
TO step a dance,
And fill your soul with ire.
So now be quick
And while you can,
Just turn the trick
To bslk his plan,
By putting up screen wire.
Now if you wait
To put them up,
Soon in your plate
Or coffee cup
He's sure to take a bath.
So while you may
And while you're able,
Fix 50 he'll stay
From off your table,
And save a lot of wrath.
In rubbish pile
And barn manure,
They're breeding while
You feel secure,
TO fool you by and by.
So now just race
With wire screen,
Wet breeding place
With kerosene,
And beat the pesky fly.

AS TO NERVES AND DIMPLES
Women Should Carefully Avoid Civ
ing Way to the Former, and
Cultivate the Latter.

Irritability is sometimes a habit;
again it is the result of physical deple-
ton or organic disturbances. The fret
full female prefers to think it Is the
latter. Every woman should make
the most strenuous endeavor not to be
ervou and not to give way to emo
tional high jinks, because a calm and
more amiable nature makes life much
~pleasanter and keeps one out of quar-
rels and misunderstanding. Nice peo-
pie don't care for the worriers; the
worriers interfere with nice peoples
pleasant thoughts. It is altogether
sensible to restrain ones petulance.
We all admire dimpled shoulders,
but no one has a good word to say for
shoulders that are thin to a marked
degree. The slender girl should spend
some of her time practicing any of the
various shoulder exercises, as they
will give her well developed shoulders
and maybe a dimple or two.
Unless she takes this advice she
will find herself in a sad predicament
when rose time comes and frivolous
low cut, summary frocks are with us
once more. Stand erect in front of
an open window and inhale, then, hold
ing your breath, stretch your arms
out horizontally and bend them around
in front of the body until the out
stretched palms touch each other.
Next, swing them around the full
half circle quickly-still at full length
until palms touch behind back, as
high up on the shoulder as possible.
When this exercise is pract1ced for
several minutes night and morning, 1t

of Attis, however, that occur the
most striking resemblance to many
of the o~bservances of the Christian
Easter. Attis was believed to have
been miraculously born of a virgin
mother and like Adonis to have died
a violent death, rising from the dead
at the time of the spring festival.
Hideous orgiastic rites marked the rit-
ual of Attis worship in Rome. Days
of blood and atonement preceded the
hilarious joy of the great day Of res
direction. While devout multitudes
flocked to the sanctuary, the unsexed
priests of Attis and Cybele, to the
music of flutes, drums and cymbals,
slashed themselves with knives, and
in wild, frenzied dances ~splattered the
affairs with dripping blood. The efigy
of Attis bound to a pine tree played
an important part in the ceremony.
The Day Of Blood. witnessed the
period of mourning over the effigy of
the god which was afterward buried
in a sepulcher. The worshipers prayed
and tasted in wailing and lamenta-
ton in preparation for the sacra-
mental meal. But when night had
fallen the grief of the wo~rshipers
turned to ecstatic gladness in the Fes-
tival of Joy. Suddenly a light shone
in the darkness. The tomb vas opened
and the temple thrilled to shouts that
told that Attis had risen from the
dead. And as the priest touched the
lips Of the mourners with balm he
softly whispered in their ears the
glad tidings of salvation. The resur-
rection of Attis was hailed by his
~votaries as a divine promise that
they. too. would issue triumphant
from the corruption of the grave.
A blessed sacramental meal and q
baptism of blood were among other
ceremonies for the initiates, a ritual
which included a sacrifice of virility
1t meant to them a new spiritual
birth and remission of sins.

Ever-changing Styles Make Elaborate

Will Meet Requirements.

To put money into costumes that
are rarely required is utter extrava-
gance. To put money into the clothes
that are most often needed and in
which friends most often see one, is to
spend wisely. 1t is what one wears
every day that often determines ones
reputation for looking well, rather than
dowdiness interrupted by a burst of
glory on special occasions. Far too
many women argue the other way and
cannot reason out why their everyday
friends have a slight opinion of their
taste in choosing clothes.
Before one gown is bought a bride

spective social life. She usually can
determine where the greatest demand
will come. Even if her future life is
to be spent in a new city, she can
come to a safe conclusion regarding
her opportunities. In other words, she
can draw up a scenario and fill in at

just his little life to it's awful mys-
teries.
We moderns of today can have no
adequate conception of what the adj
vent of spring meant in the child
hood of mankind. In a way we have
conquered the seasons and adapted
ourselves to their changing moods. But
ven a few centuries ago, man was al
most hopeless in the grip of a relent-
less, pitiless rhythm of s%uperfiuous
plenty in summer and starvation and
death in winter. 1t was only the
strong and vigorous who survived the
winters fight with hunger. The an
cient Lent was in very fact a period
of wailing and lamentation, for at
this time the gods seemed to have
deserted mankind, and the earth it.
self, the great mother goddess of fer
tility and fecundity, appeared to have
died beneath their feet. The coming
of spring, the resurrection of fertil-
ity, meant that mans d~espairing pray
ers had been answered, that his sac.
rifices had been accepted, and that
his battle with hunger was over. In
the sharp prod of biting hunger which
ancient man viewed as a punishment
inflicted by the gods presiding over
the various aspects of nature and the
seasons. can be found the reason for
much that seem strange and mon
strous to US in the old religions.
1t was in Asia Minor and Egypt, the
sources of our own Christian Easter
festival. that the ancient Easter
reached its ripest development in the
long centuries before Christ, and
many of the mystic rites connected
with the worship of Adonis, Attis and
Osiris engrafted themselves upon the
Christian Easter ritual and are OBJ
served today in many parts of Eu-
rope. 1t gives US a new sense of the
universal brotherhood of man to know
that the same words in substance

We Christians have no monopoly

resurrection and immortality, of a
deity who dies to ave the world and
WAC rises triumphant from the dead.
That has been the radiant principle
OF humanlty's instructive religion
from the early dawn Of mans spirit

hundred different religions have re-
echoed to the lamentations for dead
delties and their old affairs have vi

hymns In honor Of resurrected gods.
The germinal idea is found In almost
all the myths OF savage peoples. II

he had found him.
1t was the end of Holy week, and
the florists windows were a glory.

Even the mantle Ishmaelite. the

banks of bloom in the window of a

his young wife had loved.
"O-o-oh!" sighed a childish voice by
him.
Bowlby, the jailbird, looked down. A
little slip of a girl stood there look
ing in the window at the elaborate
floral display. She was a tidy little
girl, although her clothing was worm
and thin. She had solemn eyes and
a quantity demure air. One poor,
scrawny little finger was pointing at
the flowers. That's mine," she was
murmuring,- IAN that's mine," the
finger shifted, IAN that-oh! an
that!" She drew a long breath as if
the cup of her joy was overlooking and
pressed her solemn little face closer
to the window.
The man looked sharply at her. He
found himself smiling at her enthusi-

about it and scowled. But still he
fingered watching the child. Some
thing about her went to his lonely,

Manning of the Lily.

About 1875 a Philadelphia oman
on returning from Bermuda, brought
with her two lilies in bloom and pre-
scented them to a Philadelphia florist.
The bulbs were increased to one hun
dred in the next three or four years,
when the plants were seen by w. X.
Harris, an enterprising Philadelphia
gardener. The brilliance of bloom, and
prolixity of bulbs, were strong fea-
lures, and led to their purchase by
Mr.. Harris.
In 1882 the lily was introduced to
the trade under the title of the lilium
Harrisil and has " since retained
name and fame. After a period of fear
and anxiety, they are pronounced this
season to be in better shape than they
have been for years, and it is evident
ly a case of the survival of the ittest.
