Mullen Stalks for Funerals.

The mullen has had many uses. The Romans dipped the stalk into tallow and used 1t as funeral torch. In the middle ages it was used as q candle- wick by many people. It is reputed to have medicinal virtues for both man and beast, smoking dry muHen leaves and drinking mullen tea being resorted to by those having colds. It won, in England, by reason of its rep utation as healer of cattle diseases, the name of "bullOck's lungWOrt."

Daily Thought.

Who can compute what the world loses in the multitude of promising in- tellects combined with timid charac- ters, who dare not follow out any bold, vigorous, independent train of thought, lest it should land them in something which would admit of being considered irreligious or immoral?- John Stuart Mill.

Comfortable Homes HeIp.

The better farm home is not a pam acea for all ills of dissatisfaction with farm life. Theie will be farm boys and farm girls who will want to take up other professions than tilling the soil. The problem, says the depart ment of agriculture, is not to force them to stay on the farm, but to make conditions good enough there that they may make an intelligent choice. :

Otters' Favorite Game.

The fnvOrite game of Otters seems to be that of sliding down hill. They climb to the top of high snow ridge, lie flat upon the stomach, with the forefeet bent backward, and giving themselves an impulse with the hind legs, glide down the hill head foremost. In summer they select sloping river bank which has a clayey soil, and where the water at its base Is of con. siderable depth. Climbing this bank, they start from the top, slip swiftly over the sloping ground, and plunge into .he water.
 Storms Felt In Seas Depths.
 That the sea may be disturbed by gales to depth equal to $50 times the height of the waves produced is con. clusion reached by the United States Photographic office from laboratory ex- periments. At depth of nearly 4,OOO feet, an ocean cable crosses q depres. sion in the ridge separating the basins Of the North Atlantic and the Nor wegian sea, and this cable is known to nave been moved in storms. Violent tempests must be felt even at much greater depths.
 Goodness Shown In Countenance.

Fair Face Strongest Lure.

But the face Of Miss Cooper, which in.
splred the great Burne- Jones to acclaim it
the purest type of Anglo Saxon loneliness,
held too strong a lure for the wealthy
young man and he went ahead with his
wooing. At last Miss Cooper admitted
herself won and married him. Eight years
later finds the husband an officer In the
English army and the wife coming back to
her unfrequented stage to play for charity.
Following their marriage she kept on with
her dramatic work and rose to be one of
the best OF Englands comedy actresses.
A child was born to the couple and there
after she left the stage for several years
to care for 1t and for her home. Domestic
peace has characterized this union, and
scurrilous publication that once shocked
England by printing a breath of scandal
involving Miss Cooper with an aviator and
an actor was promptly sued for libel con
vcted and forced to pay $1,000 damages to
the injured wife. The testimony Of the
famous suit disclosed nothing improper In
her actions and no marital discord between
the husband and wife.
Burke's Peerage, that monumental d.
rectory Of British titled families, will dis
close under Lady This and Lady That
many an actress and chorus girl, many
steamstress or private secretary, dancer
or artists model, and some spell of true
romance seems to hold these titles intact.
The modern British prototype of the beggar
maid Is far luckier in finding her prince
than her sisters in America. What the
cause Is no one knows, but explanation or
no explanation it is there for the curious
and the wise to null over and to ponder
upon.
