brown in tone. The front of the build
ing was disappointing at first glimpse.
The yard was bare and bleak looking,
the monument raised to Junipero
Sierra, and luxuriant green pepper
tree being the only outstanding re-
liefs. But it was when we wandered
unguded through the long arcades on
the inner court penetrating into musty
rooms within the three-foot walls and
swinging the massive wooden doors to
behind us, treading upon the worn old
tagging curved to fit the feet of priest
and neophyte Of long ago, that the
real atmosphere of the place comes
over us.
l tried to forget the half-dozen au.
tomobiles standing outside on the
road, and the groups of tourist-folk,
who, curious-eyed, were making per.
functory pilgrimage there at that same
hour, and instead Of taking a cursory
glance and motoring on again, l asked
permission for our small party to eat
our lunch in the long shady arcade
overlooking the inner court, where the
kindly green Of ivy was clinging to
the barred bricks of the arches.
1t was not hard to rebuild In MEN,
ory those broken arches encircling the
patio, even across there where q small
laundry was dangling in pathetic in
congruity, and imagine the place
rich with green growing things-lus.
cious' figs and grapes and oranges, and
other transplantings from Catalopia.
CASTLE and Old Mexico. Then, upon
just such quiet peaceful MONDAY
as this, Padre Anselmo and Padre
Miguel might have been sitting on this
selfsame old bench, looking across the
luXuriant greenness to where the
brown arches merged into the summer
brown of that Selfsame hill beyond,
against the same soft blue sky. The
Hill and the sky remain unchanged
now, but the arches are crumbling and
the padres are dust.
We bade farewell to San Juan Capt.,
strano and took the curving road
again. A great brown hill sloped down
to meet an unbelievable blue ocean,
and from here on the sea was scarce
ly once out of sight.
"Truly," l said, drinking deep Of
that beauty of color and contour, this
Is picture country, If there ever was
onel'
Those stretches along the water,
down close to the sand where the ice
plant grew, were delight. After long
miles marked off by the picturesque
bells, we passed San Onofre canyon
and San Onofre creek opening into the
sea, the canyon widening to hold as
magnificent grove of sycamores as
there Is in southern California.
We climbed the Scared and pictur-
esque heights where the Torrey pines
crouch in the wind like giant bodies
with craven spirits. From this COM
manding vantage point we looked
across the valley away from the sea-
where colors of vegetation and colors
Of soil mingled In singularly rich va
riety.
And at last we saw the city of our
destination shining ahead in the after
noon light, white city, like Cadiz,
overlooking the sea.

HeIp Uncle Sam Save.

How many people stop to think that
1-cent postage stamp costs Uncle
Sam as much as postage stamp OF
the highest denomination made? II
Is a fact. Consequently people who
place two 1-cent stamps instead Of on
2-cent stamp on a letter are increasin
the cost to the government Of carrying
on the post office, and the people who
cover parcel post package with
mall-denomination stamps instead Of
using one of two of high denomination
to make up the amount of postage re-
quired are guilty Of an act Of thought
lessness inimical to conservation. The
department requests the public to
think of this hereafter, and to do its
best to help out Uncle Sam.

TRACE OF MERMAID
Scientists Find Skeleton Half Hu-
man and Half Fish.
Anclents of All Races Believed That
Beautiful Sea Maidens Once Lived
Maybe Our Forbears Wore
Fins and Scales.

Mermaids were not mythical crea-
lures at all, but real, living beings, ac-
cording to some scientists, who, in
support Of this belief, point to the
skeleton of a strange animal, half hui
man and half fish, said to be more
than 1000 years old and reported to
have been found deeply imbedded In
sand on the coast of China. This
skeleton, however, Is said to be con-
sderably smaller than the proportions
of mermaid, according to popular
conception, which pictures her with a
form much the same as that Of wom-
an. 1t is pointed out, however, that
this skeleton might have belonged to
a dwarf of the species, or to a kind
of fish which is said to have been COM
mon in Chinese waters about 5000 B.
G. And it Is conceivable that the
creature might have grown to larger
size in different climate.
The skeleton which has come to
light after centuries Is described rs
having had head, shoulders and
arms like those Of woman, as proved
by the formation of the bones and
skull. The lower half Of the body
became petrlfied, and in all respects
was like the tail Of fish, with several
fms. On the head and the upper por
ton Of the body shriveled skin was
found, similar to that of an Egyptian
mummy. II further proof were need
ed, 1t would seem to be supplied by
few strands of hair on the head. Der
matolOgists have decided that this
was once flaxen and grew abundantly.
Every story of mermaid pictured
q goddess-like creature sitting upon a
rock in the sea, cOmbing her hair. AL
most every one of the ancient races
left behind them accounts of the mer-
maid These have been discredited
for ages, being grouped with other
myths such as the Greeks entertained.
The sea serpent and dragon Of such
terrible aspect described by writer's Of
old were ranked with the mermaid as
a figment of Imagination. But the dis
covery of this skeleton, 1t is claimed,
discredits all the theories of civillza-
ton and brings to the fore once more
the question so often asked-were
there really mermalds?
The name mermaid Is of TeutOnic
origin, corresponding with triton and
siren as used In antiquity. The Chal-
deans called this creature Cannes, the
Chinese named her Wimpus, and even
one tribe of American Indians were
said to have had legend of the mer-
maid In which they term her Ottawes.
1t has been one of the unexplainable
points of the mermaid legend that so
many peoples in such distant parts of
the globe believed in the reality of n
creature half woman and half fish. 1t
would be hard to imagine two races
further apart than the Chaldeans and
the Indians, but both knew Of the mer-
maid
Whatever of truth there may be In
the reported finding Of this skeleton,
t, at any rate, opens anew one Of the
most fascinating chapters In the lore
of mankind.

snakes.

"But the mother snake had not
much chance to praise her children
any more that day, for they were still
young and easily frightened.
"Time after time they thought some
thing was going to happen or they
were afraid danger was near and In
they all crawled-down in the safe
throat of Mother Snake.
"When they grew older they learn
ed to protect themselves and they
learned the things they must eat and
the things they must not eat.
"They had lessons in how to shed
their skins and how to get nice new
suits-or skins as they called them,
which grew under the old ones. And
they learned how to pull off the old
skins by starting 1t at the point Of
their nose.
"But with all they learned and with
all their experiences they never for
got how they went to their mothers
throat for safety.
"And when some Of the baby snakes
grew to be mother snakes they did
the very same thing for their babies
when danger was near"

He Had Been Drawn,

Capt. Ian Hay Beth, addressing the
Chicago City club, recently told the
following story to illustrate his state
ment that life in the trenches had its
moments Of comedy:
"There We're two friends in separ-
ate bays Of trench. Whenever
shell burst near by one would cry out,
Are you all right, Bill? and the an
swer would come back, Yes, I'm all
right After this had happened sew
eral times the second man cried out:
Yes, I'm all right but what's the ex-
element about?' Then the first ohe
answered: The men over here, have
gotten up sweepstake on who's 80.
ing to be hit next, and I'ie drawn
you.'"

Mint and Rue.

In the eleventh chapter Of st. Luke,
verse AZ 1t states: "Woe unto you,
Pharisees for ye 1.-THE mint and rue,
and all manner of herbs" Mint Is
mentioned no other place in the Bible.
In this day and age, or at least in this
country, both mint and rue have run
wild until in some places they are
menace to better plants. Both seek
only damp soils yet both are quite re-
sistant to drought as the root system
still lives long after tops are de-
stroyed and will put forth again and
again. 1t is evident that in olden
times these plants were of great eco
nomic Importance in both culinary and
medicinal departments. Today, while
mint is widely used, largely in manu-
facture of perfumes, the use of rue
has practically ceased.

help. "a faithful friend is "a strong
defense; and he that hath found him,
hath found a treasure" Ecclus. vi.
IA. "A friend shall not be known in
prosperity, and an enemy shall not be
hidden in adversely In the prosperity
of man his enemies are grieved;
and friend is known in his adver-
ssity.' Ecclus. xii. 8, 8. Friendship
increases our joys. If we have been
fortunate we long to tell some one,
and if we have a friend who shares
our joy our satisfaction is much
greater" Behold, how good and how
pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity" Psalm cxxxii. 1.
Friendship encourages us to do good.
If we have a virtuous friend we do
not dare to do wrong in his presence.
1t is an essential quality Of friendship
that one endeavors to emulate the
noble sentiments and good traits of
the other.

SADIE AND HER HOME.

~
Sadie Boland had head of her own
and temper, too. She was twenty
past and one of the most reliable typ
lists in Field Montgomerys Depart
ment Store. Still, with all that, she
had never-as yet-even dreamed OF
disobeying direct command OF
Father Casey. That was why she came
to the priests house this evening in
answer to his summons, though, OF
all persons in the world, he was the
last one she would have wished to
meet in her actual state of bitterness,
spite, and halfdesperation. She was
scarcely seated in the priests parlor,
when the door swung open and she
heard Father Casey's hearty, How're
you, Sadie?''
Very well, I thank you, Father .
she replied stiffly, rising and making
her most correct and dignified bow.
Never before had she greeted the
priest otherwise than with the whole
hearted abandon of child-like con-
fidence. He gazed at her a moment,
then gave a long, low whistle.
s'WheW! What princess royal have

spoken old man, observe the courtly

THE HAIL MARY.

William Cullen Bryant has written
"a beautiful commentary on the words
of the Hail Mary, observes the
Rosary Magazine: BLESSED art thou
amongst women" There is in "The
Mothers Hymn" a note of tenderness
which we by no means find in most
OF his other poems. 1t must have
been in moment when he was
thinking of his own mother that he
was lifted out of himself into a rare
atmosphere in which he saw the great
Mother of the human race standing
like a matriarch at the head of that
endless procession of humanity which
by the example of her life she tries
to draw heavenwards:
Lord, who ordainest for mankind
Benignant tolls and tender cares,
We thank Thee for the ties that bind
The mother to the child she bears.
1--WE thank Thee for the hopes that
rise
Within her heart, as, day by day,
The daWning soul from those young
eyes
Looks with clearer, steadier ray.
And grateful for the blessing given
With that dear infant on her knee,
She trains the eye to look to heaven,
The voice to lisp a prayer to Thee.
Such thanks the blessed Mary gave
When from her lap the Holy Child
Sent from on high to seek and save
The lost of earth, looked UP and
smiled.
ALI Gracious! grant to those who
bear
A mothers charge the strength and
light
To guide the feet that own them e'er
In ways of Love and Truth and
Right
