Little Miss Bonita Van Moon cele
brated her third birthday on Tues
day afternoon at the home of her
parents. DR.. and Mrs. w. B. Moon,
on East Orange street.
The near approach Of Valentine
Day was apparent on entering the
living room by the large heart that
hung between the collonades and
bright array Of red.
The table looked lovely in white
linen with strings of red hearts
draped over the chandelier and to
each end Of the table and a floral
center of red nasturtiums banked
around a mirror. The place cards
were red cupids with white hearts
on which the name of each little
guest was written. The little host :
ess carried out the color scheme in
her white frock with crimson sash
and ribbons.
The afternoon was spent In vari .
GUS games. Among them an animal
story was told by Mrs. French OF
Illinois, the grandmother Of little
Bonita, each child entering a contest
on initiating each animal mentioned.
The prize was won by Miss Ruth
Bryant and was story book.
Then each guest was given a
small basket and the heart hunt be
gan, Miss Lucy Tidwell finding the
most hearts and won a heart shaped
valentine.
In the corn shower contest Miss
Rosalie Miller proved the quickest
and won a box of crystallized pop
corn.
Snap shots were taken of the
merry crowd, after which refresh
ments of nut sandwiches, cocoa
fruit salad in orange cups and heart
shaped cakes we're served.

blown out three red candles, was cu'

Sometime ago the Board of Trade,
through the enterprise Of the bust
ness men of the city, got up and is
distributing a handsome Lakeland
booklet real piece of advertising
matter. When this booklet Is ex :.
hausted, the business men will be
called upon to finance another au-
thentic advertising booklet. II, how :
ever, they put their money into the
hands Of every itinerant who comes
along, they will worse than waste
the means which they should spend
for the legitimate advertising of the
city. These travelling schemers have
no interest here; pay no taxes, EN-

community or its people. They are
here to fleece the business men out
Of whatever they can, and then look
for fresh victims in new pastures.
Pass up the schemes Of these winter
birds and give them the cold

FALLAcY OF LONG STANDING
That Frost Is Most Likely to Occur
In tho Light Of the Moon"
10 a Wrong Idea.

One of the most tenacious beliefs
is that the weather is affected by
the movement of the moon. 1t is gen
orally considered that frost is more
likely to occur in the light of the
moon" than at any other time. For
this reason crops which the frost is
likely to destroy are planted at such
q time as to be certain to avoid q
full moon.
The moon reflects sunlight to the
earth and produces the tides. 1t has
minor effects, such as changing the po-
sition of the earth and causing min.
ute reflections Of the magnetic needle;
these last, are, however so small that
they have only effect upon refined In
struments of detection, and it has
been proved conclusively these two
have no relation to the change OF
weather. Regarding the two former
effects named, it is quite easy to I'M
derstand that reflected sunlight from
the moon cannot affect the weather
In the first place, more light is re-
ceived from the sun in thirty min
utes than from the moon In one year,
and, moreover, the greatest reflection
Is at full moon; from a logical point
Of view then 1t should be warmer in.
stead of colder at full moon. This
should disprove any argument that
the reflected light makes it colder

In Civilized Life tho Association Of

In the eighteenth century the man
OF London passed the largest part Of
his time In coffee houses and taverns.
and when one seeks for him after
midday he will probably be found in
q tavern.
No habit was so universal in every
class as this Of association in some
place Of entertainment; it was part
of the life alike Of the nobleman and
the tradesman.
While the former enjoyed himself
In one Of the numerous houses in the
west end, the latter was surrounded
by his business rivals at the Globe
tavern in Fleet street or at the Six
penny Card club or at the Free and
Easy at the Queens Arms in st.
Pauls churchyard.
But when we go with the man of
London to his coffee house or tavern
we should not think too much of the
place, for coffee house and tavern
were each only building which by
reason of its existence was the most
convenient for the purpose of assem-
blies, whether of business or of pleas.

no one discusses. 1t is all making

British Emancipation.

The first day OF August, 1884, is
often mentioned, but enormously, as
the day on which the slaves in the
British colonies were set free. They
did not get their actual freedom, but
an apprenticeship which was to pre-
cede and prepare for their freedom
1t was enacted that all slaves should
become "apprenticed laborers" to their
masters. These slaves were of two
classes. One class received actual
freedom in 1888 and the other in 1910
1t was found that on August /, 1884
there were 77O,2S0 slaves in the col
onies affected by this emancipation
act. All negroes born after that date
were born free. Twenty million pounds
sterling, s1O0,0o0,00O, was ultimately
paid to the owners Of these slaves
this sum being distributed ratably &C
cording to the market price of slaves
In each colony.

WHAT LIGHTS THE voLcANo7
EruptIons May Be Caused BY Hestlno
Water In the HoiIows Of
the Earth.

A volcano is q great hollow noun.
tain. It Is named for Vulcan. the
Roman god who was supposed to deal
with fire. because IRE comes out Of II.
A volcano has hole at the TOP called
the crater, and this hole seems to lead
down into the hot interior of the earth.
The inside Of the earth is always
hot. yet volcanoes are by no means al.
ways in eruption, as it is called when
they throw out fire and ashes. It
must be, then. that something happens
which sets the volcano in activity.
The possible cause may be guessed
from the location of the great vol.
canoes, which, like Vesuvius, Etna and
Hecla. are near the sea.
1t may be that the volcano commu.
nicates with the earth under the sea,
and water passes into the hot interior
hollow and creates vast quantities of
steam or gas. This gas is formed un.
der great pressure. It must get out
somewhere and so finds its way to the
crater and escapes with terrific force,

Peaches in ENGLAND.

A long time ago someone said tina,
an Englishman eats a peach as If he
were performing religious ceremony
No wonder! In the London market q
sale Of a dozen peaches ranks as q
wholesale transaction And the price!
The London Telegraph recently print
ed an article on Cheap Fruit" in
which the statement occurs that
small samples" were worth two OF
three shillings dozen, but that the
best fruit could be bought at IL shil
lings dozen. Think of paying a quar-
ter for single peach! But there were
some shops that cut the price. and
that would sell you peach for three
pence-six cents.-Youth's Compan

Beauty and Brains.

A pretty girl need not necessarily be
brainless, but somehow the combina-

Did you young fellows ever stop to
analy7e any of your conversations
with that wide-eyed little blonde who
always wears pink silk blouses? No,
OF course you didn't-you hardly knew
what you were saying yourself.
Trouble with you is that you haven't
imagination enough to conceive of a
pretty girl who could bring up q more
interesting talk topic than her own
sweet self.
You sort Of concede that a peach OF
girl is three-Quarters mush, with q
heart Of stone
OF course there is such q thing as
the pretty girl with brains, but she's
either married or else in love with
some cuss that doesn't appreciate her
