CHINESE GODDESS OF MERCY
Legend Popular in the Yellow Land
Because It illustrates Quality
Of Filial Piety.

The Chinese tell an interesting story
relating to their Goddess of Mercy"
who was the third daughter of the
| king Mas Tsong. Her two elder sis
tiers were married early, and when
her turn came the third refused to
merry, having already given up the
temporal pleasures and devoted her
entire devotion to preparation for the
next life. The king then sent his
daughter to the temple, where she
was asked to draw water and cook
dinner for 500 monks. But this
seemed to be an easy task, for when
she went to cook, she found every
thing ready for her, dragon being
sent from heaven to help her.
The king was angered and ordered
the temple to be burned but the prin-
cess spat blood into heaven and a
new temple fell down to earth. This
angered the king still more and he
ordered his daughter killed and that
her body be eaten by the tigers. As
time went on, the king was afflicted
with leprOsy, none of the doctors be-
ing able to cure him. A beggar monk
later came and told the king he could
cure him. Upon being given a trial
the monk said that the disease could
only be cured by the ash of the
burned hand and eye of a person who
was on a certain mountain.
When the desired hand and eye was
finally found, the queen recognized
them as her daughters. The king was
cured by the ashes of this hand and
eye which made the people honor the
name of the princess as the Goddess
of Mercy" for her untold sufferings
and her filial piety to her cruel father.

Mental Atmosphere.

Take time to study your own tastes
your own desires, and find out what
you really react to pleasurably. and
why; then by the simple process OF
selection and elimination you can
gradually evolve the right atmosphere
for your present condition. 1t Will
change as your mental life changes.
But do not try to impose the results
of your experiments on someone else
for what might rest and inspire you
with your individual interests and am
billions, might irritate someone else
beyond endurance. Because of the
large part that previous association
plays in the Interpretation of any sense
stimulus, in any attempt TO create a
mental atmosphere" with natural
objects, each individual becomes a law
unto himself. "Know thyself."-Ex

To Preserve Ferns.

There are at least two very satisA
factory ways to preserve maiden-hair'
ferns. One is to dip the ferns as SOON
as gathered in perfectly limpid guns
water. This should be done very care
fully. After allowing them to drain
for two or three minutes, arrange In q
vase to dry. Another very good way
is to put the ferns, when first gathered,
between two clean sheets of blotting
paper. Lay between boards and press
for a week or so.

 He'd take banker, or some skate Who's made a pile in real estate; He'd load his car with damsels fair, And still insist there's room to spare. He'd gladly take a joyous crew To whom such rides are nothing new, But there are people who sit and sigh As gorgeous cars go whizzing by, And mothers, tired until their hearts Just yearn for rides in choo-choo
 carts;
 And maiden aunts who'd trade their

 For three long breaths of country air. But, these will never ride with Hugh, They don't appeal to him. The men don't wear their whiskers
 straight, The women's hats are out of date; The kids have seedy pinafores From rolling round on unwashed

is still loyal to Beth. until few even- ings later when the horrors of long haired, slow-witted musician and sev- eral boresome guests for. dinner stare him in the face, he angrily leaves the room.
 His fingers touch Sallys card in his pocket and before he. knows it he is spending cheery, cosy evening in her apartment--a striking relief to- the stiff evening he hasSrun away from. Beth learns of his visits and his in- terest in Sally. and believing her hus- band far too noble to carry on mere filtration, she assumes that he is in love with Sally. accuses him of being so and offers to divorce him so he can marry her. Such a thought had never entered Gordon's head. But now. in quarrel with his wife, she goads him to the point of admitting that he does love the girl and wants to marry her and the divorce proceedings take place.
 Beth's heart is fairly broken the day the final decree reaches her. but she is far too spirited to show her grief. She realizes all too late just why she has lost Gordon. but life is before her. She is still young woman and beau tiful. So she decides. with a reckless ness born of her deep grief to make the most of the years before her, to be gay, beautiful, extrava gant-all the things she has not been.
 Gordon marries Sally and is sur prised to find that the same thing happens as before. She changes just as the other woman had changed
