IS CURIOUS TRADE MONOPOLY
Making of Missionary Boxes In England
Has Been in Hands of Same FAM
lily for Many Generations.

1t is curious how certain trades and
occupations remain peculiar to certain
families. There is one occupation
employing q large number Of men to,
day which is in the hands of the same
family that has been associated with
it for many generations. 1t Is the max,
ing of missionary boxes. says London
Tit-Bits.
1t might be supposed that any car
penter could knock together suitable
receptacle for contributions to mis-
sionary and other charitable funds
but the fact remains that every mis-
sionary society, every church organ
lzation, that requires coi1ecting-box
goes, as a matter of course, to this old
established firm whose speciality 1t is
to make such boxes.
1t is a thriving business, and one
which has profited rather than suffered
through the war, for the institution OF
flag days and other means of collect
ing funds has led to an enormous In
crease in the demand for boxes.

Music LANGUAGE of Soul.

The meaning of music goes deep. 1t
is the universal language of the soul.
Where speech fails, song Is only be-
ginning. Music can make mems hearts
as steel In the face of battle, when
thousands are to be stricken down
and trampled into the earth, or 1t can
melt these same hearts to tender love
and make them tremble at sweet
hearts whisper. Music can cleanse
the soul for worship, or It can de-
prave for the vilest orgies. 1t uplifts,
and 1t debases; 1t inspires to the high,
the sweet, the true, and 1t deadens to
the gross and low, the vicious and the
heartless. Freedom and love and fdel-
ity and praise-words that illumine all
language-would be meaningless and
dead but for the spirit instilled into
them by song.-Exchange. {

of political character, which were
comprehended under the title Of Of

according to Suetonius, It was lese-
majesty to fog q slave or to change

"PAYETTE COMMlSSARY'
MOONS EFFECTS NOT KNOWN
May Be Key to Sleep Walking and
Kindred Disorders, Declares
Writer in Medical Journal.

All persons in all times have seen
an intimate connection between the
moon and fruitfulness, both animal
and vegetable.
SEVEN now" says the New York
Medical Journal, "the onions which
come to our city market owe their ex-
cellence to the farmers careful con-
junction of planting time with the
phases of the MOON"
Such ideas have been so universal
that mans unconscious mind still pre-
serves them, though his judgment may
scorn them as absurd.
Doctor Sadger of Vienna cites cases
of somnambulists who ''under the influ-
ence of moonlight are recalled to times
and scenes of active childish wishes.
The moon calls them in deep sleep to
act out dream Wishes"
The Medical Journal suggests that
the key to sleep walking and other
kindred disorders of childhood and
late life may be found in moon-lore,

Usinq Old Tin Cans.

We used to have some thrifty for
eign neighbors who always used theil
tin cans several times over, says the
Syracuse Post-Standard. In opening
a No. 3 tomato or other can, place the
can bottom upward and lay big,
very hot coal on the central circle or
cap. In a minute remove the coal,
when the tin cap is easily lifted. Re
move the contents of the can immedi-
ately, wash, dry thoroughly and store
In dry place, saving the little circu-
lar tin centers for use again. When
1t is wished to use the can again In
preserving tomatoes, berries or other
foods, proceed as with a new tin can.
If one is at all handy with the solder
ing iron the can is resoldered with no
trouble at all. Never put tomato or
acid fruits in any but tomato or berry
cans, as such have been specially
treated to withstand the action Of the
acids. Corn, peas, beans, etc., can be
put In used tin cans In which such
vegetables came, If they were opened
properly. Try your hand first at open
Ing and resoldering any old tin can.
The work is very easily done.

Laurel as National Flower.

England is fighting now with the
rose as her national flower. The Unit
ed States has no national flower, rec
ognlzed as such, but the mountain lau-
rel comes nearer to being the right
candidate for the honor than any other
bloom particularly characteristic of the
United States.
The mountain laurel is not found
in other lands. 1t is hardy, perma-
nent, beautiful and widespread in its
distribution. The great artist, Henry
Turner Bailey, finds in it all the SYM
bolism necessary to make it Uncle
Sans flower.

War Reduces Insanity.

war as palliative of insanity is a
theory unfamiliar to most people, but
we have no reason to doubt the conclu-
sions of Doctor Oswald of the Glasgow
Lunatlc asylum on the matter, says the
London Globe. One phase of the sub
ject is instructive and significant. This
is THE removal of the powerful effect
of poverty on the mind and it's replace
ment by the higher standards of living
and remunerative employment" Pow
erty and unemployment are thus by
medical testimony more fertile causes
Of insanity than war. That is lesson
to be borne in mind when the war is
over.

American Beer for France.

The French beer brewing industry
will have to be aided by imports of
barley from America in order to be
continued beyond July 1, so one is
informed by the authentic Official Bull

to be negotiating with America for
supplies. Arrangements are also be-
Ing made to ship beer to France from
the United States. Before the way
German products supplied the def

Senator Took Oath on Koran.

A recent Incident in the new Philip
pine legislature recalls that when the
United States acquired the islands we
took into our family brothers-in-law
whose religious beliefs always have
clashed with Christianity. Senator
Hadji Butu, who represents Mindanao
and Sulu. took his oath of office on the
Koran instead of the Bible.
All the other senators took their
oaths collectively by raising their right
hands. Then Senator Butu sterred IN
front of the president of the senate
and placing his right hand over the
Koran, read his official oath in the Sulu
dialect, the president repeating it in
Spanish. When the ceremony was
over the president shook hands with
the SENATOR while the ether senators
and a large crowd in the galleries ap-
plauded.

Undoubtedly one of the most i'm
portant dramatic offerings eve,
presented to the photoplay public is
the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play
Company's elaborate and faithful
adoption Of Charles Dickens i'm
mortal work, "Oliver Twist" with
Marie Doro in the stellar role. It
will be recalled that the all-star re-
vival of "Oliver Twist" during the
Dickens Centenary, Marie Doro re-
ceived praise from critics and public
greater than all the other members
of the stellar cast. 1t is therefore of
interest to note that this beautiful
and talented star will wear in the
screen adoption Of this famous story
the costumes worn in the original
stage production. The supporting
cast consists of one of the most i'm
portant gatherings of photoplay
favorites ever assembled in a single
and includes Hobart
Bosworth as Bill Skies, Tully Mar
shall as Faign, and Raymond Hatton
as the Artful Dodger. The Lasky
Company made exhaustive research
in the preparation of the sets and in
the general acquiring of atmosphere
for this important screen Offering,
and have reproduced the characters
and the scenes of Dickens master
piece with remarkable fidelity and
accuracy.
This wonderful feature will be

adequate levee system along the

Southwestern Louisiana. There is
as much justice in having the Fed
eral Government supervise one
branch of the great river as the
other, and the survey which was pro-

will unquestionably become law
