MAKE THE HOME BRIGHT.
Dark CoIors For Walls and Woodwork
Have a Depressing Effect.

Dark CoIors For Walls and Woodwork
Have a Depressing Effect.
The interior decorations of a mans
home may have much to do with his
domestic happiness or unhappiness, as
the case may be, according to the Sec
rotary Of the international Association
Of Master House Painters and Decora-
tors. The depressing effect Of dark
colors in wood finish and wall paper
has wrecked homes which would have
been happy had the colors been bright.
Is the opinion of this expert.
Ozark colors in home decoration are
like dark. gloomy days in their effect
on people," he said. 1T is we'll known
that gloomy days are commonly known
to the police as suicide days. There
are many more suicides. murders and
other crimes on rainy days. A man
owes it to his family to surround it
with bright rooms which will catch all
the sunlight there is and turn it into
domestic happiness.
"A room done in dark colors has the
same effect on persons entering it as
utter darkness. Ones senses cannot be
so active as in bright surroundings,
and there is a loss Of buoyancy that
breeds grouches, with all their disas-
trous results. Bright, clean. open minds
are the IRE result Of bright surround
ngs."-kansas City Star.

Very Set In His Ways.

The Word "AiccouohN

The spelling ~"hiccough" is recent.
being a combination Of the syllables
chic" and the latter term Of Cough"
which is without either physiological
or genealogical basis. The pronunoia-
ton, with perhaps the rarest excep-
tons, is still that Of the older form
"hiccup," earlier given ~variously as
"hickup," ''hickupsnickup," "hickhop.''
Hitchcock" Hitchcock" and "hickett,'
with quasi diminishing sufixes "ock,'
"et," but the chick" a syllable aptly
expressive Of the spasmodic sound pro-
duced by the conditions giving rise to
the particular disturbance, is found in
all references to the origin Of the term
to which the writer has been able to
obtain. The term "singultus' Is rarely
used.

A SMOKE AND A TRAGEDY.
The Reason General Bate Never Again
Lighted a Cigar.

Tho Reason General Bate Never Again
Lighted a Cigar.
General William B. Bate of Tennes-
see after distinguished service in be-
half Of the south was governor and
then United States senator. His bray
cry in battle was attested by a dozen
wounds, and in a single engagement
three horses were shot from under
him.
1T was a habit Of the old warrior"
said a man who knew him we'll. ito
continually carry an unlighted cigar in
his mouth. but few Of those who
noticed it ever knew the reason of his
failure to smoke the weed"
At the battle Of Shiloh he and a
brother were standing side by side
when the brother asked General Bate
for a light, as he had q cigar. but no
match. The general lit a match and
handed it TO his kinsman. who had
scarcely applied it to the tobacco ere a
annon ball came hurtling through the
air and severed the smokers head
from his body.
The terrible tragedy Of Shiloh's
bloody field was the reason why in all
the years that followed the surviving
brother was never known to light q
cigar.-Exchange.

When Chocolate Was Denounced

Strong passions were reused in the
seventeenth century among those who
thought chocolate was an invention Of
the devil. A formidable treatise was
written in order to %denounce the use
Of the beverage by monks. The trea.
,tise appeared in 1924, but the monks
saw to it, by destroying every copy
that came their way, that its circula-
ton was small and brief. Chocolate
houses succeeded coffee houses in Lon
don as centers of. a supposed greater
refinement, although Roger North de-
scribed them as centers for the benefit
Of crooks and cullies Of quality, where
gaming is added to all the rest" and
where plots against the state were

Shorthand Pioneer.

That the ancients were thoroughly
cnasEersant with shorthand is an un
disputed fact. 1t subsequently became
a lost art until revived or rediscovered
toward the end Of the sixteenth cen
fury. At this time there lived William
Lawrence, who died in 1921 and was
buried in the ~cloister Of Westminster
abbey. There the visitor may read his
epitaph. which includes the following
lines:
Shorthand he wrote. His flower In prime
did fade,
And hasty death short hand of him hath
made.

Crust of French Bread,

There is one precious quality which
distinguishes French bread from all
the other breads in the world, the
quality. namely, of an extraordinarily
thick crust.
:. French bread has a thick, crisp, ap,
petizing crust because it is baked with
a fuel composed Of poplar branches.
The light poplar wood gives an intense
heat, which for some reason makes
crust as no other fuel. will do.-Ex.
