Bohemia Favored by Nature.

Nature has favored Bohemia per-
haps more than any other part Of En-
rope. Its soil is so fertile and climate
so favorable that more than half Of
the country is cultivated and produces
richly. In its mountains almost every
useful metal and mineral. except salt.
Is to be found. 1t is the geographical
center Of the European continent,
equally distant from the Baltic, Adri-
ATTIC. and North seas, and though in
closed by mountains, Is so easily &C.
cessible, because of the valleys of the
Danube and the Elbe rivers, that it
served as the avenue Of many armies.
Besides Bohemia the Czechs occupy
Moravia and adjacent territory in
Silesia. The Slovaks, who show mere
ly dialectic differences from the Czechs,
extend from Moravia eastward over
most Of northern Hungary.

CONDUCTING SALES.

Many people have somehow acquired
the notion that when a dealer conducts
a sale he Is trying to unload lot of
undesirable merchandise. While this
occasionally may be true, it is more
often not the case, but rather merely
an advertising plan designed to draw
people into the store.
Oftentimes goods are marked almost
at cost to the merchant and then ad-
vertised for sale during a certain pc
Rod of time.
The object is to make It worth while
for the people to come In and not only
buy the advertised goods but to pur-
chase other merchandise at regular
prices. The dealers profit then is not
on the sale articles but on the others.
If everyone bought only the mer-
chandise advertised in the sale, the
dealer would make no money. But he
displays his other goods conspicuously
so that customers can see them and
save themselves time by making fur
Their purchases. Thus he makes addi-
tional sales that are profitable and the
customer saves money and saves time
through buying a big bill Of goods at
the one store.

COURAGE in Insects.

How shall we regard the following
observation, made, not in the world OF
the higher animals. but in that of
insects, so different from ours? 1t
was in the Forest of Fontainebleau. on
a stone half a dozen ants gathered
about a bit of food We're RECALLING them
selves with avidity. From time TO
time / approached the group of cpl
cures with my finger. at Il distance Of
about a decimeter (about four inches
distanO; all the ants quit their repast.
save one, who did not see fit to disturb
herself. Finally put my finger very
close to the group; all the ants fled, ex-
cept the one that had not been fright
ened before. She turned suddenly to-
ward me, remained motiOnless for a
few moments, erecting herself on her
legs and menacing me with her man.
then she rushed upon me with
oil her speed. This ObSerya-
ton proves two things-that these lit
tie creatures are capable Of reflection,
and even OF an extraordinary courage,
and that all the individuals Of the same
species do not act with predestined GER
tainty in the same fashion.-Exchange.

0rloIn Of 4 Ponular Hmm.

The following illustration given by
D. L. Moody suggests the true origin
OF P. p. Bliss hymn, LET the Lower
Lights Be Burning!'' A ship on Lake
Erie, bound for Cleveland harbor, was
overtaken by storm, and as they
neared the port the pilot could only
see the upper light-the light from the
lighthouse streaming to them through
the storm and darkness. The lower
lights were not burning-the pilot
could not see how to steer into the har-
Dor. It was impossible to sail back
again upon the lake; the ship had to
60 forward and for the want of the
lower lights along the shore the vessel,
now at the mercy Of the huge, roaring
waves, was dashed to pieces on the
rocks, and many of the crew persisted
before help could reach them. P. P.
Bliss was associated in those early
days with D. L. Moody in Christian
work, and he must have heard Mr..
Moody use this Illustration, which
gives beauty to its meaning."-Chris-

Great Enu!ish Sailors,

The EliZabethan era is renowned in
English history not only for its litera-
ture but for England's growing power
upon the sea. and especially for its
hardy and skilled seamen, observes q
writer in the Washington Post. Most
notable among these were Sir Francis
Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh and his
half-brothers. Drake was the first to
put into practice the policy Of weaken
ing Spain by attacking her in America.
Drake it was who made the great voy-
age around the earth in 1850. Eight
years afterWard he took an important
part In the most momentous event Of
the century in which he lived-the de-
feat Of the Spanish armada. The de-
feat of this armada had. been pro-
nounced the opening event in the his
tory Of the United States. From that
North America was open to
colonization, with little danger Of hin.
drance from the Spaniards. Sir Wal
ter Raleigh must ever be considered
the father Of English colonization on
the soil Of the United States"

Duoout Pit 10 Popular.

The dugout pit or potato storage
cellar is probably more widely used
than any other type Of storage space.
Fitted with water-tight roof 1t is es-
pecially popular in the central por-
lions Of the United States. In the arid
and semi-arid sections a type with sod
or dirt roof is in most general use. As
a rule, the excavation for the cheaper
structures Of the dugout pit or cellar
type when erected on level or nearly
level land does not exceed three feet.
The soil removed from such an excava.

also for the roof. The cost Of con-
struction may be greatly modified, ac.

Jewish New Year Be-
gins Sunday
Hebrews Of Morgan City Will
Observe Day Which Marks
Many Festivals

Jewish residents of Morgan City
are making preparations for proper
observation of the Jewish New Veal
which opens next Sunday, the fes
tival inaugurating the new year con.
tinuing an entire month. The sea.
son is universally observed by Jews
with feasting, fasting and prayer,
and arouses within them impulses
for renewed vigor in their religious
and moral life.
While the civil calendar year is
used by Jews for all ordinary pur-
poses, their feasts date according to
the moon. New Years Day is call
ed Rosh Ha-shana and is observed
strictly as a religious festival. Or
thodox Jews still observe two days
for the New Year to make distinc-
ton between the inhabitants Of Pal
estine and all others, but Reform
Jews have returned to the original
method of observing a single day.
Rosh Ha-shana bgins at sunset,
mode Of reckoning that is supported,
additionally, by the Biblical story
of creation, in which the evening is
mentioned before the morning. This
year will be 5678, counting from the
creation of the world
The month Of Tishri is the festi-
val season Of the Jewish calendar.
After the New Year comes the "ten
days of penitence," then the fast Of
the Day of Atonement and finally
the harvG festival, the Feast of
Tabernacles.
The Bible enjoins the celebration
of the New Year in the book of
Leviticus, chapter %, and Numbers,
chapter 20. The chief rite men,
toned is the blowing Of the trumpet
or rams horn, still observed in the
synagog. The ceremonial of the
day is very impressive, it includes
prayers of ancient and medieval orr
gin, and elaborate music, and the
reading Of the account Of Abra-
hams sacrifice of Isaac. The greet
ing of the season is Leshana tova
tikosevu. "May you be inscribed in
the book of life for a good year."
The lesson Of the New Year is that !
men review the past year and look
with confidence toward the future.
Thus Rosh Hashana is called the
Day of Remembrance" and also the
Day Of Judgment" The influence
# religion on character, the signi-
licance Of the flight of time, the
Of . large-scoped view
# life, are the themes Of the pray
rs and thought Of Rosh Ha-shana.
