SCHOOLS TO OPEN
MONDAY, OCTOBER 7TH

The Toledo schools will start
the term of 191S-19, on Monday.
Octobr 7th. The opening OF
the schools was set al a late
date this year to enable the
children to assist in the harvest
ing Of the Evergreen Blackberry
crop. We believe this was a
good plan, as it was certainly our
duty to save this crop, for the
use of our soldier boys across

Serving the Commonwealth.

There are many crosses and trials
in the life of one who is endeawring
TO serve the commonwealth, but there
are also two permanent sources of com.
fort. One is the support and sympathy
of honest and reasonable people. The
other is the conviction dwelling for
ever, like well Of living water, in the
hearts of all of us who have faith in
the country, that all we do in the fear
of God and the love of the land, will
somehow be overruled to the public
good; and that even our errors and
failures cannot greatly check the ire
sistable onward march of this mighty
republic, the consummate evolution Of
ages, called /. to a destiny grand
er and brighter than we can conceive,
and moving always consciously or un-
consciously, along lines Of beneficent
achievement whose constant aims and
ultimate ends are peace and righteous
ness.-John Hay.

RANK WITH EAsT's WONDERS
Famous Temples at MandaIay, in Up
per Burma, Spectacle That Few
Tourists Care to Miss.

OF the many strange buildings and
temples in the far East, says writer
in Wide World Magazine, there are
none more wonderful than the 450
Temples of the Law at Mandalay, in
Upper Burma, known as the Ruthol-
daw, or "Royal Merit" The group
consists of large central pagoda sur
rounded by hundreds of smaller white
temples, or shrines. They were erect
ed by Ainshay-min, who ascended the
throne on the death of his brother in
1867. The latter was cruelty murdered
by his two nephews, and it appears
that this very much affected the new
king. Not only did he devote his ener-
gies to peace, but erected this strange
group of temples, each one of which
contains slab on which is engraved
a portion of the Buddhist bible. These
holy tablets are made of soft marble
or alabaster, each slab being about
the size of a large old-fashioned tomb
stone. On both sides are engraved
chapters from the Buddhist scriptures.
Over every slab is erected canopy
'surmounted by a gilded framework Of
metal with small tinkling bells. The
temples are situated in a beautiful
wooded valley, and seen from the sur
rounding hills they present fascina-
ting picture.

oueerest Coin ON Earth

Have you ever seen MANILA? 1t is
a coin used by natives of West Africa
and is said to be the most curious coin
In the world. In shape "manillas" re-
;semble horseshoe with the two ex-
tremities fattened out like a camel's
foot. Being made of solid copper,
three-eighths of an inch thick, they
weigh over eight ounces each. In
"face value" seven of these queer coins
are equivalent to 25 cents, so that 81
worth would be an uncomfortably
heavy load.
Not only are these "manillas" used
among the natives, but white traders
accept them as legal tender for goods
sold at the various stores. At one time
this strangely shaped money had quite
a large circulation in certain parts of
the coast, but its use is now restricted
to few bush towns and one includ-
ing Bonny, Brass and Akassa. "Ma-
nillas" are now very difficult to obtain.

Hagdaders Think Jim Lights City.

When the electric light company
lighted the streets of Bagdad with
electricity, the people were filled with
astenishment, according to a Bagdad
newspaper, translated for the Review
of Reviews by Miss Mary Caroline
Holmes. Some declared that nothing
less than the Jim could produce such
brilliant light. Others asserted that it
was male and female, the latter being
the lights of the city, while the males
were kept in the pockets of the Eng
hshmen.
Still others said that in their opinion
these wonderful lights were the bird
"Al Bahman," spoken of by "Al Ar
desy'' in his book, ''The Pleasure of the
Longing News from the Border" "Al
Bahman" is supposed to circle around
and around the sea, observing the hori-
zon, then mounting to the top of the
tallest mast to warn the sailors of Q
coming tempest.

June weddings make bright paren-
thesis in the grave story Of war times.
Just as many lovely brides grace just
as many beautiful bridal professions
this June as in Junes gone by-and
the joy they radiate is more than ever
welcome. No one expects the bride to
curtail any of her privileges on her
great day. 1t comes but once in life
time and she is entitled to make the
most of it. The pomp and circumstance
of war is not to be compared to it.
Society countenances the pretty ex-
travagances of the wedding pageant
and styles play into the hands of those
who plan them. Malines and geOrgette
crepe make the more than ever pic
turesque hats for bridesmaids. Some
of these have wells of malines extend
ed into scarfS that SWathe the throat
and partly cover the face. Special
thought has been bestowed on the ma
tron of honor-the. most dignified mil
linery featuring her position. In q
procession where there were two
flower girls, small soft hats of narrow,
val lace, trimmed with little rose buds
were allowed them. In this company
the matron of honor wore a wide
brimmed hat of sand-colored malff4es
and pale-gold lace, with a full short
~ ntle Of malneS to match with collar
gold lace. The bridesmaids rejoiced

CLOSING Wild Gas Wells.

Engineering feats, comparable in the
ingenuity required, if not in expedi-
ture of effort with the closing of the
Salton sea, have been called for in re-
cent years to close wild gas wells in
northwestern Louisiana. An immense
amount of natural gas has been lost in
wells that have got beyond control in
the Caddo and Red river fields, and
the loss consists not only in the pre-
cious fuel wasted, but in the lowering Of
pressure on the associated oil, which
is rendered thereby. more difficult to re-
cover. Indeed, it is asserted by some
that the ultimate yield of oil from a
pool is considerably less If the gas is
allowed to escape than If it is closed
in until as much Oil as possible is TAX
en- out.-Argonaut.

Horses in the Philippines.

The horses in the Philippine Islands
are ponies containing mixture of the
blood of ponies and small horses from
northern China, French-Indo-C China
and Mexico, with a considerable ad-
mixture of Arab blood. There are about
243,000 horses in the islands. In Ma
nila alone about 100 dead horses are
collected every month, which are cre-
mated, hides and all, though there is
great need of horsehides for razor
strops and shoe leather. In the rest
of the islands probably $500 horse.
hides are wasted every year because
no one knows where to sell them prof
itably.

same material, set about the crown.
For brides who decide against the
conventional white satin and long veil
pretty hats Of white malines and small
white flowers have been provided with
long ends Of malines falling from the
back to be wrapped about the neck
and shoulders. For these simpler wed
dings organdie dresses and organdie
hats give the bridesmaids every chance
for lovely color and quaint design in
their frocks and millinery. Organdie
and net, or organdie and lace combined
make fascinating wedding gowns.
There. are many ways of draping the
veil: One very good way is to gather
the tulle into band of silver lace to
form a close-fitting cap; another is ar
ranged in a larger cap with double
frili about the face-as shown in the
picture, and a third presents the veil
falling from corOnet of fine lace,
wired to hold it in position.

MYSTERY IN OCEAN CURRENTS
No Scientist Has Been Able to Explain
Satisfactorily the Many Vagaries
of the Waters.

There are as many vagaries in the
waters as in the winds. Why, for in.
stance, should great ocean currents
send their warm waters across the
wide Pacific and Atlantic? Other and
equally mysterious currents exist in
well-nigh all parts of the world.
1t is on record that the water has run
for weeks out of the Java sea, through
the Strait Of Suda and thence bach
again for the like period without any
perceptible rise and fall during those
times.
Then there Is the Equatorial current
that flows into the Caribbean sea, the
ever-f1owing current to the eastward
around Cape Horn, the cold stream
flowing from the icy regions of the
north past Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia and along the American coast
to the extreme end of Florida, the con-
tinual current running with velocity
Of from four to five knots an hour
through the Strait of Gibraltar into
the Mediterranean sea, the swift cur
rent running across the rocks and
shoals off the end of Billion island,
which apparently starts from nowhere
and ends nowhere in the vicinity of
the same place, and the current which,
starting half way up the China sea,
runs from two to three knots an hour
to the northeast and finally ends ab-
ruply off the north end of Luzon.
Then we have those tidal vagaries
known the world over as bores
Those that run up the Hugh and Ira
wadi rivers, from side to side, till they
reach their limit, often tearing the
ships from their anchorage, originate
nobody knows where or why.
At Singapore it has been observed
for days at time that there has been
but one rise and fall in the "a hours

ORIGIN OF ALPHABET LOST
Generally Accepted Theory Is That tn.
Letters First Came Into Use
Among the Egyptians.

The alphabet we use is a queer
thing, when we come to think of it.
In effect, it is made up of conventional
signs.
Turn this page upside down, and
you cannot read it. 1t might almost as
well be printed in Russian characters
or in Arabic.
Few subjects have enlisted on the
part of language students more specu-
lative thought than the origin of the
alphabet. 1t is today a matter much
in dispute.
There are those who aver that on
pebbles almost as ancient as the early
cave dwellers of southern Europe have
been found inscribed characters rep
resenting the origin Of some of our
alphabetical letters of today.
But the theory most generally ac-
cepted at the present time is that the
letters of our alphabet originated with
the ancient Egyptians. They were, to
begin with, "ideographs.''
Take "S" for example. In form it
represents a snake. The sound of the
letter is the kissing of q snake. There
you have it. What more could be de-
manded of single letter in an alpha
bet? 1t is whole picture.
20" is supposed to have been knot
In string-the letter being originally
piece of sinew. Sc" was bow pulled
taut. "C'' was the followed hand, from
which one drank-whence the sound
of the letter. 'L" was the crooked
stick used in primitive times as a
plow. "N' was pickax. "V' was an
OK yoke. ''X' was a crossroads. s'T'
was tally-a primitive mode of count
ing. 'sY'';was the right hand upheld.

There is almost a distracting va
riety in sweaters and sweater-coats to
choose from this season. And along
with them sleeveless satin and velvet
sports coats have entered the race for
consideration, and sleeveless coats of
silk jersey. All of which goes to
prove that a sweater, or sports coat
OF both-are Indispensable in the
wardrobe of today and that one can
afford to think twice and then think
again before making a final choice
among them.
Where not much in the way of
warmth is really wanted of the sweat
er and it is worn more for smart style
than anything else, the new short,
win approval. They are made of
heavy zephyrs, in gay colors and knit
ed on large needles. Turquoise blue
and rose pink are favOrites for them
and one sees an occasional jade green.
Nearly all of them have white knit
ual to decide for or against sleeves
and If the sleeves win, then white
knitted cuffs are theirs by right.
These sweaters fit the figure some
what closely and are worn with white
kid belts. They are much shorter
than the sweater and sweater-coat
shown in the picture, extending only
eight to ten inches below the waist
line.
The knitted sweater pictured is a
machine-made garment, with wide
sailor collar, deep cuffs and short
girdle all knitted, but in coarser
and heavier stitch than the sweater.

TRAIN MIND TO REMEMBER
BY the Proper Exercise of Will One
Can Teach the Brain to Regis
ter Photographs.

A man who has a wonderful memory
says in the American Magazine:
If you can train your right arm to
deliver a good blow, you can train
your memory to retain facts. There
are just as many fiabby- minded men
in the world as there are fiabby-bodied
ones. Both kinds of flabbiness are due
to laziness, the one mental, the other
physical.
Above all, you must remember that
the brain is Photographic machine
and you can make it take an enormous
number of photographs. / don't con-
tend that each man may eventually
have as good a memory as his neigh
boris, but 1 am firmly convinced that
80 men out of 100 can have better and
more serviceable memories than they
now have.
Teach your brain to register photo
graphs of what you want it to retain.
Be enthusiastic about it. Work at it
every day while you are doing your
other work. 1t isn't very hard. Most
men use about 80 per cent of their
available energy when they're work
ing. Concentrate on what you are
doing. Let it soak into you. Absorb
it-and always absorb it with the con-
viction that it is going to stay alb
sOrbed.
There you have my recipe for
good memory: Determine to remem-
Der, don't worry, and learn how not to
let your office worries and work go to
bed with you at highland, above all
things, get into the open and give ma
ture a chance. Fresh air and sun
shine have as beneficial an effect on
the memory as they do on the other
parts of your general makeup.

New Trimmings.

The designers have used much in
genuity in the new trimmings. They
have gone back to the days of 10, 80
and 90 for inspiration in trimming a
gown with its own material. Serge
suits made of that new, fine serge that
has caught the popular fancy of all
American women who have seen it are
trimmed with bias folds of the mate
rial. These folds trim the sleeves, the
neck and outline patch pockets on the
hips. They are not stitched; they are
turned under, slip-stitched and lightly
pressed down. Cable cords, as we used
to call them, have also been revived.
They are made into loops, fleurs-de-lis
and Chinese designs and placed
wherever the gown needs accenting.
