ORIGIN of Lace-Hskinu.

A romantic legend is still current
among the peasants Of Europe concern
ing the origin Of lace. AS the story
goes, a lover, who could offer his be-
trothed no costly gift, one day brought
to her a leaf which he had plucked
in the forest.
She accepted 1t as a true token Of
love, and preserved it with care. In
time the lover went away-to the war,
perhaps-and never returned.
The maiden priced the leaf then as
q sacred treasure, and when she found
only the delicate veining left Of her
keepsake, she took needle and thread
and tried to copy the fairylike web.
And thus was made the first bit of real
lace.-Girls' World.

WHERE PAPRIKA COMES FROM
Foreign Product Now Successfully
Raised by Many Farmers in
South Carolina.

Years ago agents of the bureau of
plant industry turned their attention
to paprlka pepper. We don't know
what headed them toward pepper, and
The report of their work does not tell
IS, writer in Everybody's says. Pa
prika pepper is probably a mighty
small item in our national food bud
get. Up to that time we imported all
hat we used from Hungary and Spain.
DUR agents studied the characteristics
Of the plant and the soil and climate
and cultivation that it required.
Then they came back to this country
% discover where paprika pepper could
3e prohtably grown here. Down in
Florence county, South Carolina, they
found what appeared to be the re-
lured soil, climate and labor condi-
ions. Moreover, the land there was
not giving Il really profitable account
If itself. After the department had
proved by its own experiments that
oaprika pepper could be successfully
grown in South Carolina, it furnished
seed to n group of farmers who agreed
o grow it under their directions. This
vas to insure a product of a proper
standard. The industry is now fair
well established, and if ever we
should be at war with Hungary and
Spain at the same time, probably
South Carolina could supply all the
Iaded palGtes of this country with
standard brand of paprlka pepper.

Wien watch ReaembIed an Apple,

Although some of the early watches
were very small In circumference, they
were thlcl, and the front and back fair
Dy hulged SO that they were more the
shape of an apple thanTa cookie, which
they really resemble today. The wa
fertile watch IS an invention of very
recent times and the process OF thln-
Ming II Is even now going on. Tlcob-
ylous advantage OF the thin watch IS
that it can be placed in the belt or
pocket without making bulge. If
watches had always been worn round
the necks they might still be spherical
rather than DISLIKE In shape.

Survival Of Old Memory.

The ideas of divine warning, of d.
vine vengeance. and Of n recreation of
Mt least the face of the earth. in con-
nectIon with a universal destruction
by water, recur so often and In such
widely separate parts of the world,
that many have thought the only ex-
PLANTATION must lie In the survival of
a common memory Of primeval man
kind, based upon tragedy which over
took the human race when Ii was stlll
united and confined to some limited
loeulity.--Garrett L. Serviss.

HWY 70 Deal With Germs.

In dealing with germs, it should be
remembered that a germ of the mild
est appearance may very often be most
savage. Don't be deceived by a germ
that looks harmless. The male germ,
rs a rule, is the most voracious and
If may always be known by its gay
3umage. Germs, as we have been
taught, bring with them every sort
of disease, and while germs are not
always fatal, they try their best to
be. The average conscientious germ
is chagrined when he fails to kill. If
number of germs are engaged on a
job and do not succeed they are in
disgrace with the folks back home.
Teach the children to swat the germs.
Particularly the young germs. Germs,
like people, are most odious at the
adolescent age.

Probably nineteen.twentieths Of the
happiness you will ever have you will
get at home. The independence that
comes TO man when his work is over,
and he feels that he has run out Of
the storm into the quiet harbor Of
home, where he can rest in peace, ana
his family, is something real. 1t does
not make much difference whether
you own your house or have one lit
tie room in that house, you can make
that little room a home TO you.

A single bitter word may disquier
the home for whole day, but like
unexpected flowers which spring up
along our path, full of freshness and
beauty, so do kind words and gentle
acts and sweet dispositions make glad
the home where peace and blessings
dwell. The heart will turn lovingly
toward it from all the tumults of the
world, and home, "be it ever SO hum
BILE, will be the dearest spot under
the sun.

Cause for congratulation.

"There are all kinds of optimists
In this world, but did you ever see
a man who was optimistic when he
had the 'grippe?"
"Only one"
"And what led him to take a cheer
full view of life2"
Gle was the husband of a suf-
fraglst orator and his illness prevent
cd him from accompanying her ION
speaking tour"

We cannot honor with too deep a
reverence the home affections; we can
not cherish them with TOO much soIici-
tude. Members of the home circle
lose nothing by being polite and kind
to one another. Little children are
such initiative creatures; if the faith
er shows kindly attention to mother,
bright eyes win see the act and are
sure to do just like papa.

There's nothing dishonorable in be-
ing a tug. In times of need a tug is
worth thousand pleasure boats. It's
what a man is able to do and does
hat tells what his worth is. Good
clothes are pleasant to look upon, but
they are often a hindrance in times
If distress. Kid gloves may have
place in the family pew and social
functions, but the ways Of the world
demand tougher stock in labor. II
takes overalls, corduroy and bucksllin
10 stand the strain. They are not
beautiful but they are mighty efficient
when the right kind of power gets in
side Of them. And you are no less
gentleman because they fit you. That
man is honorable who makes himself
respected by his conduct and the work
he does. No amount of polish can
atone for a mean ideal. And no
amount Of toll can lower the man of
honor to the level Of the beast. The
tug may be insignificant beside the
lines, but its work is just as honorable
and often requires just as much brains
and skill to accomplish it.-Pennsyl-
yania Grit.

There are hundreds OF young men
in every crest city in the very lowest
depths of degradation whom the
home influence, carefully and prayer
fully extended through tender, aztec
tiouatc, wonanly letters, might have
saved. There are hundreds Of others
JUST taking their first lesson in vice,
who may be brought back to purity
by loving words from mothers, sis
ters or sweethearos. Unit! man be-
comes thoroughly vicious, the thought
of q pure woman's love will do much to
restrain him from inquity. II that
love grows careless of him, he grows
careless of himself Think of this
you who have sons, brothers or lovers
away among strangers. Remember
that you owe him sacred duty; and
give them frequent missives from
home, frieghted with love accom-
panied by earnest prayer.
