WIN The Sea Has pearls.

A few weeks ago l was talking with
a woman of deep religious sentiment
who was in great distress because her
very young baby had died before it
could be baptized. ~
I was led to ask natives of Norway.
Finland and other places their views
on this very delicate question. and so I
came across a bit of very pretty Sicil-
ian folklore.
To the babies in Sicily life is very
kind and death is gentle. Those who
die unbaptized are doomed to wander,
but do not wander grieving. Madonna
Mary sends to them every week end an
angel. who lays aside his lily crown
and romps with the dead babies. When
he leaves them he gathers up in a
golden chalice all the tears they have
shed during the week. These he casts
in handfuls into the sea, land that Is
why the sea has pearls" I like that
story-Vancouver World.

Effects of INinoD


Lying Is great sin against God, who
gave us tongue to speak the truth
and not falsehood. 1t is a great offense
against humanity itself; for where
there is no regard to truth there can
be no safe society between man and
man. And it Is an injury to the
speaker: for besides the disgrace which
it brings upon him, it occasions so
much baseness of mind that he can
scarcely tell the truth or avoid lying,
even when he has no color of necessity
for it, and in time he comes to such a
pass that as other people cannot be-
neve he speaks the truth, so he him
self scarcely knows when he tells a
falsehood. AS you must be careful not
to lie, SO you must avoid coming near
it. You must not equivoeate, nor speak
anything positively for which you have
no authority but report, or conjecture
or opinion.-Sir Matthew Hale.

The Eeur ereat sauce.

A French epicure has declared that
''man has created the culinary art; he
does not feed like an animal-he break
fasts. dimes and sups.''
The French are particularly eloquent
on the subject of sauces. Among their
famous chefs are recognized four great
sauces, Spanish veloute, bechamel
and German. The Spanish and We
louie were known as far back as the
seventeenth century. In the eighteenth
they were modified by the masters of
cookery, particularly by Careme, who
Yves called 1.-The Raphael Of the
kitchen"
The Spanish sauce Is composed of
juices extracted from a mixture of
ham, veal, chicken and pheasant. We
louie is similar, but is not colored.
BeehameI is veloute to which cream
has been added. and the German sance
is veleute plus the yolks Of eggs.

Perhaps the most voluble liar that
ever lived was the Baron 4Munchausen
that is, the ictionized baron. The
real baron was kindly soul who lived
in Germany and who in nowise de-
served the evil reputation thatsattach-
ed to him through the use of his name
in a series of highly coIored adventures
that appeared in print in London in
1885
The authorship OF the absurd tales is
Il mystery. It is generally believed
that Rudolph Erich Raspe, a question
nble character. wrote the stories first,
but there is no absolute confirmation.
Following the original series a number
of additional adventures We're written
by less skilled pens.
The real baron found little in life to
enjoy after the stories became gener-
ally circulated. Curious tourists haunt
ed his estates and tried to trap him
INTO relating some wild story. At first
he resented their attention in yigor-
Jus fashion, but in his declining years
he grew sour and morose and finally
died. most unhappy person. in 1877.

but some of them are inclined to want
to force a change in the system Of

that the proposed reduction in the rate
might result in a slight loss in revenue.
This view is opposed by the postal ex-

double, thereby taking care of any

This argument is more or less borne
out by the conditions in Canada. There

The statement that Jupiter's moons

some qualification. Within the last
quarter of a century the space pene-

added no fewer than five Jovian satel-

covered 800 years ago. Four of the
five new moons were melted" at the
famous Lick observatory, on Mount

to the credit of Greenwich observatory

from Jupiter itself, unless an observer

many additional members have enter

no feeling of partisan legislation.
The business people of the country

been receiving hundreds of letters
urging early action and at the same
