WHAT THE CITY GIVES BACK
Those Who Return Home to Stay Are
often Nothing but Empty
Shells.

We who knew him In the days be-
fore the city swallowed him up Chat
was 40 years ago) had forgotten all
about him until the other day when
the morning train rolled in and we
stood ready to help unload the coffin
and then to follow 1t to the place on
the hill prepared for him, Tbm B0dns
writes in the Paris (Mo.) Merctiry. Ef-
cry now and then someone like hift
comes home to stay, and it is the same
story so far as we who remain are con-
cerned. Not until the train comes to
standstill and the baggage car door
thrown open do we remember and
sometimes 1t Is poignant. When the
city took him he was young, and,
though beuring q grievous burden, he
went hopefully. When the city gave
him back to us he was an old man
broken by many griefs, and desolutlOh
looked up from the dead face, wherein
the majesty of the final peace more
often sits enthroned.
What the city takes and what It
gives back are always different. Some.
times it sleeps them in folly and re.
turns dead wrecks, wherein we look
and read an ancient regret for things
that might have been better-and per-
haps in the end, happier. Again 1t
swallows them up in the vortex of the
great unceasing, pitiless economic
struggle, and, having Slapped brain,
body and soul, returns to us the empty
shell that once housed our friend.
That is what it did to him.
Are not some fated to be bound to
the wheel and others to walk in the
glad places, and at the end of the
dolOrOsa way is not there heavenly
compensation? Perhaps, but somehow
down deep in our hearts will continue
the bitterness of an ancient revolt be.
cause of empty and joyless lives, the
deep resentment because of that blind
fatality, which even through love-
wrecks human aspirations and makes
of life an unending tragedy.

RELICS OF FIRST CENTURY
Portraits of Christ and the Apostles
Dug Up From the Ruins
Of Antioch.

Portraits of Christ and the apostles
which, it is believed, may be authentic
are on an old chalice dug up from the
ruins Of Antioch and now in the pos
session of a firm of art dealers in this
city, it became known last night.
The chalice, according to the deal
ers, came directly to them from the
hands of the excavatOrs in 1910. 1t
can be dated with certainty to the sec
0nd half of the first century A. D.,
says DR.. Gustavus A. Elsen, the ar
cheologlst, who is now in this country,
and who has made a preliminary re-
port upon it in the American Journal
of Archaeology.
1t was found by Arabs digging a
well in Antioch, Syria. At the depth
of many meters they came upon un-
derground chambers, one Of which con-
tanned the treasure.
1t is probable, say experts, that the
chalice is replica of the cathedral
erected in Antioch by Constantine the
Great after his removal of the capital
of his empire to Constantinople.
This Antioch church was intended
to be the center Of Christian worship
In the East, and remained standing
until the year 526, when, during an
assemblage of 100000 Christians, the
city WINS leveled by an earthquake so
disastrous that one building could not
be distinguished from another among
the ruins.-New York Times.

Why Fish viii Fall Upward.

The deep-sea fish are subject to a
pressure internally, by gases, and ex-
ternally of over two tons to the square
inch, and under this pressure they are
quite solid. When these fish arc
brought to the surface in nets their
bodies become puffy, their bones loose
and their eyes start out of their heads /;
very often they burst. This is because
tie pressure is released.
When these fish of the deep sea
chase their prey or rise for some rea-
son high above the ocean bed, the
gases of their swimming bladders cX-
pand and they become light. The fish
whose muscles are not strong enough
to take 1t down deeper into the ocean
expands more and more until IL rises
upward to the surface and is killed, so
that it really falls upward"

Saved bv Bullet.

II is better to be born lucky than
rich, they say, and no doubt certain
policeman of Acton, H., will sanction
the sentiment. He was one Of a squad
sent recently to arrest two desperate
criminals who had been located hiding
In a boarding house.
When cornered, one of the men at
bay pressed the muzzIe of his revolver
against the pOllceman's abdomen and
pulled the trigger twice.
The first bullet rammed in the bar
rel about an inch from the cylinder.
This effectually barred the pathway OF
the second shot, the force of which
tore strip from the barrel an inch
long through which the bullet escaped
thus destroying the usefulness Of the
weapon.-Popular Science Monthly.

METHOD IN HOUSEKEEPING.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I have
never quite dared to write to the So
cial Corner Sisters. but when I read
Sarah Ann Tighe's letter entitled Sys-
tenn in Homework I thought I might
have something that would be of in
terest to the readers. have followed
a regular program and found it to be
quite helpful and thought if published
it might help others.
Monday-WaSh; press woolens, etc.
Tuesday-FiniSh ironing.
Wednesday-Special cleaning; bread
baking.
MISUNDERSTANDING day.
Friday-General sweeping of living
rooms and chambers.
Saturday-Clean bathroom, kitchen,
porch, pantry; and cake baking.
Special cleaning divided thus:
First Wednesday of month, thor
oughly clean living room and den.
Second Wednesday, clean library,
hall and lilac room (chamber).
Third Wednesday, clean dining room
and buff room (ehamber).
Fourth Wednesday, clean kitchen
and pantry
Fifth Wednesday in month (when it
occurs), clean storeroom and base
ment.
On Thursday mornings, too, there
are a couple of hours that may be
utilized for little extras, such as pol
iShing silver, brasSes, cleaning win
dows or polishing a few pieces of fur
niture.
Mending and sewing can be done
evenings or part of recreation day.

SECOND GATHERING OF CLUB
NO. q

Dear Social Corner Sisters: The
second one of the delightful gatherings
of Club no. 2 took place Jan. 4th on
Hedge avenue at the home Of 81 and
Dottie.
Lucy Acorn and being the first ar
rivals, thought we would improve our
leisure moments by surveying 81 and
ated so very high, that they have a
grand view of our beautiful Norwich,
The Rose of New England.
The Sisters arrived with their work
bags, and each bringing some beauti-
full piece of handiwork to be shown and
admired.
Aunty No. rs sweater-bag was hand
some and think it would have taken
the prize.
Don't you think it. would be lots of
fun and very interesting if some little
prize were given for the prettiest arti-
Gle made by hand and brought to the
gathering?
After chatting and laughing to our
hearts content, the aroma of the
delicious coffee preceded our introduce
ton to the dining room, which was
trimmings, The Corner color. The ia
bles were loaded with the best of ev-
erything one could think of.
Following lunch, amusements were
enjoyed until late in the afternoon,
when, thinking hostess and assistants
must be tired, we started for home.
We thank Dottie's mother, Dottie
and Gala Lily for giving US such a
lovely time. ST was invisible, so we
had no opportunity to thank him, so
thank him now.
1 thank all the Sisters who so kindly
remembered me on Christmas.

Married and Happy was there and
as usual had her worlzbag which con-
tanned beautiful samples of fancy

thing very unique and pretty. We
were very sorry to have her so so
soon, but other business called for
an early departure.

instructions in tatting. My! Couldn't
her shuttle fly.
Dottie and her able assistants did
everything in their power to make the
day one to be long remembered by
the attending members.
Delight. Hoosit and Bob White:
Glad to see you there. Had also hoped
to see the Merry Widow and Plain
Nancy.

it a shame Mandy hustled you off to
work and wouldn't let you CO. Don't
blame you at all for acting like the
old scratch when she does let you Off
Don't show her this letter for she and

chance to send the lollypops without
