Arab Eoea.

The Arab who is fighting with ths
Turks in Mesopotamia has some curl
Gus ways. He takes off his shoes
when he enters a house, but keeps on
his hat. He reads and writes from
right to left. He eats scarcely any
thing for breakfast or dinner, but In
the evening he sits down to hot meal
swimming in oil. His sons eat with
him, but the ladies of the household
wait till the males have finished.
The Arab rides a donkey when trav'
cling, his wife walking behind, and he
laughs at the idea of giving up his
seat for a woman. The Arab has one
strong virtue, and that is, he is rarely
seen drunk. He is not very affection.
ate, Is very ignorant, and has 30 little
initiative that he rarely takes on any.
thing worth doing, or attempts to
carry out any enterprise.

silk From Sawdust.

Making artificial silk from sawduat
and other lumber waste Ia the latest
experiment OF the United States forest
products laboratory at Madison, Wis.
The use of artificial silk made direct
ly from wood Is increasing by leaps
and bounds. Originally its principal
use was In the manufacture of braids
and trimmings, but recently the manu-
facture OF hose from artificial silk has
become an industry Of vast impor.
lance. Other uses for artificial silk
are woven goods of all kinds, Innings,
tapestries. etc., neckties, ribbons
sweater coats, etc. About 100000
pounds of artificial silk are used an
nually In the United States. There
are several methods of manufacture
but that from wood pulp Ia usually
made by treating the wood pulp with
caustic I've to form q viscose, which
lie allowed to age for some time. II
is then forced through dies to form
threads, which are hardened by q
treatment with sulphuric acid, ammo
MUM sulphate, and sodium borate, or
formic acid. After washing and dry.
ing, the silk Is ready for use. The
laboratory Is investigating the arti.
fetal silk problem as possibility for
utilizing wood waste, and has on hand

old enough to be my grandmother.
But the words, lightly written In an
old-fashioned hand, fell across my
heart like ray of golden sunshine,
through the grayness of the rain.
Dear Friend" read the letter, II
have been seeing your pieces in the
Christian Herald for some time, and
made up nay mind to write to you.
Some people believe in keeping their
kind words and their flowers and their
love until q person Ia dead. But I
don't l want you to know, right now,
that you've cheered me up lots of
times, and that like your stories and
that like you"
Now, don't want you to think that
l am disappearing OF Decoration day.
The world is stupid enough and mat.
ter-offaet enough to forget easily the
heroes who lie in our cemeteries. But
we should consider the living, too. Let
us place roses over the little green
mounds, but don't let us overlook the
pleading child-hands that are stretched
out for their sweetness. While we
honor the memory of those beautiful
spirits that have passed from us, let
us not forget the living, breathing
souls that need our help.
1t is not necessary to save all the
flowers, the kind words and the kisses
until lips and hearts and minds are
cold and dead.-Margaret e. Sangster,
Jr.. In the Christian Herald.

CARRIED THE HONEY BACK
Bees Proved They Had Something -
Say About the Disposition o.
Their Product.

A farmer possessed few swarms
OF bees which he kept In what ara
called box hives. Inside there wero
small boxes, which would hold about
two or three pounds of honey each. an
exchange says. About eight OF these
were placed on the top OF the hive, and
as at least one side OF each box was OF
glass. the keeper could easily look
into the hive and see when the boxes
were filed with honey.
The farmer usually chose to do this
early In the morning. before the bees
came out to begin the labors OF the
day. or at night when they had fin
ished them. Bees do not like to have
their dwelling places molested, and
usually try to sting the intruder.
One day some friends were at the
farmers house and as they wanted
honey the farmer thought he would
venture to take 1t cut In the after
noon. He knew that some Of the boxes
We're quite full. The hives stood few
rods from the house. and on that side
of the house were large doors lead
ing into the cellar. While the boxes
were partly OF glass, the bottom Of
each was made OF little stats, SO that
the bees could go In and out az they
liked.
The faroer took out several boxes,
carried them into the cellar, shut the
cellar doors nearly together, and hur-
ried away. He put the boxes into the
cellar in order to allow any bees
which might be in them to fly out and
return to the hive. But, in his haste
| to avoid being stung, the farmer left
the doors open too much. 30 that the
cellar was quite light, whereas II
should have besn dark.
The bees were SO excited, ana en-
ragged that they few In all directions,
| attacking everyone who came in their
| way. When suppertime came there
were 80 many bees flying about the
cellar doors that no one cared to 20
near them. EARLY the next morning
the farmer looked out OF the dining
room window and observed that the
air was still full Of bees.
At about ten o'clock he looked again
and not bee could be seen. He went
down and brought up the boxes. But,
instead Of being heavy with honey, az
they We're the day before when taken
from the hive. they were almost as
light as air, being filed only with
empty combs. The bees had worked
with a will and had carried ali the
honey back to the hives.

UNITY OF NATION PROVED
Great southerner Long Ago Pointed
Out How Complete Has Been
Its Restoration.

From an address delivered by Henry
Watterson at the National cemetery,
Nashville. Tenn. Decoration day, 1877.
We are assembled, my countrymen.
to commemorate the patriotism and
valor of the brave men who died to
| save the Union. The season brings it's
tribute to the scene; pays its homage
to the dead; inspires the living. There
are images of tranquility all about
us; in the calm sunshine upon the
ridges; in the tender shadows that
creep along the streams: in the wav-
ing grass and grain that mark Gods
love and bounty: in the flowers that
bloom over the many graves. There
is peace everywhere in this land to-
day.
Peace on the open seas,
In all our sheltered bays and ample
streams,
Peace where'er our starry banner CLEANS.
And peace in every breeze.
The war is over. 1t is for us to
bury its passions with it's dead: to
bury them beneath monument raised
by the American people to American
manhood and the American system,
in order that "the nation shall, under
God, have a new birth of freedom and
that government Of the people, by the
people, and for the people shall not
perish from the earth
The Union is, indeed, restored when
the hands that pulled down that flag
come willingly and lovingly to put 1t
UP again. l come with a full heart
and steady hand to salute the flag
that floats above me-my flag and
your fiag-the flag Of the free hearts
hope and home-the star spangled
banner of our fathers-the flag that,
uplifted triumphantly over few brave
men, has never been obscured, des-
tined by the God of the universe to
