although some idea Of a hereafter was

Their earliest burials are reminis-

pseoratIv. Church Window.

The art of glass decorating is not
q modern Bohemian accomplishment.
The Roman Cathedral of Prague con-
tanned, in 1915, two windows which
were decorated with Old and New
Testament scenes. Decorative win
dOws soon became a favorite form Of
church ornamentation. Asnaes Sylvi-
us, who subsequently became Pope
Plus the Second and incidentally was
a very close student of contemporary
affairs of Bohemia, records that the
churches of the Czechs possessed
many thigh and wide windows which
were brightly and artistically decor
ated and such style Of decorating was
not confined to the churches. in the
large cities and towns, but even the
distant hamlets prided themselves on
churches containing windows orna-
mented in a similar fashion" The
curriculum of the division of techni-
cal arts Of the University of Prague
included courses in painting, wood
carving, and glass ornamentation. No
degree was ever conferred on student
unless he could exhibit sufficient apti-
tude as a "glass man" or qualify in
"gIassery," a practical demonstration
of the high esteem in which this
branch Of the arts was held.

Sea Appropriately Named.

The name by which the Hebrews
knew the Red seattle Van Suph, or
sea of weeds of sedge-wOuld appear
to give little indication of the reason
for the title which has been applied
to this body of water In later years.
But, as a matter of fact, two terms
have a common origin. Unlike the
Beautiful Blue Danube" which Is
really a dirty yellowish brown, the
Red sea Is really red-the color being
due to the prevalence of a minute
bright red plant, kind Of seaweed.
This plant is said to be so small that
25,OOO,OO0 can live and thrive within
a single cubic inch of water. There
fore, instead of being notified with
red, the sea appears in many cases
to be of scarlet shade. A red dye,
which tradition says was used hun
dreds of years ago, is made from this
weed, but, in the places where it is
not found, the waters Of the Red sea
are as blue or green as those of any
other body of water.-Youth's Com

Cheap Llaht.

Science and Invention describes a re.
cent achievement of a French scientist,
who has successfully tried out in his
house a scheme for operating electric
lights without cost.
Upon his water-supply pipe he has
fitted high-speed water turbine,
which drives a dynamo, charging a
storage battery. Every time faucet
is turned on In the house the stream
of water is put to work at loading the
battery, which furnishes current for
the lights. 1T is simply utilizing en-
ergy that is ordinarily wasted" says

Extraordinary lime keeplnu.

Methods Of reckoning time have al
ways been source of trouble to SCI
entists. The first standard was the
lunar mOnth-that is, the period Of
about 291s days between one, new moon
and the next. Twelve of these months
seemed to correspond to the four sea-
sons, and so the year was fixed at
354 days. They soon found that they
were getting badly mixed, that the
seasons did mot correspond to the
months; in the course of 10 years
they were more than three months
wrong. The Jews and Greeks stuck
In another month now and then. They
added seven months In 10 years and
managed to keep a clumsy track Of
time.

Eminent NaturaIIsts Who Gave Good
Service to Humanity, and to

In his last sickness, he said to an anx-

Almighty God would be very hard up
on one who loved His fishes and 9th"

Another friend of the fishes, Sir
Charles Edward Fryer, knight, died
not long ago at WatfOrd, near Lon
don, England.
His whole life since he began active
work was devoted to the promotion Of
knowledge of fish and fishes, in rela-
ton to the service Of mankind. There
was no higher authority. He was
awarded endless medals and hOnOrs
by, expOsitions and societies for his
monographs and annual and other REL
ports.
He was one of the first to define the
international regulation of fisheries Of
the high seas, and was leading MEM
Der of many fish congresses and COM
missions.
He was the final authority, with the
last deciding word to say on all mat
tiers relating to fish and the fishing
industries.

The "Stick Siwash" has returned to

Fort st. James is one of the oldest
posts in British Columbia owned by
the Hudson's Bay company. 1t was
founded in 1906 by Simon Fraser, the
pioneer explorer for whom the Fraser
river was named. Several hundred

Other Indians have brought back
the same story from the Manson creek
region. The "Stick Siwash" has long
figured in the traditions of British
Columbia tribes. The name means
ghost of the big woods. "Stick" is
slang for forest and "Siwash" is a
corruption of the French word "Sau-
vage," and is applied to all the Indians
of the Pacific coast The superstitious
natives believe the appearance Of the
apparitlon presages misfortune to the
tribes.

Taking Stock Of oneseIf.

The head is the big factor in the
measuring up Of business. Many a
fellow has learned a routine that puts
him in a class by himself when 1t
comes to doing things. But to meas
ure up In the fullest sense one must
not only meet routine but forge ahead
and do that which is new. Here is
where the head comes in. 1t helps a
fellow manage himself and put his
best into the job. When he can do
this he can manage others and get
them doing better than they have ever
done before. This self-mastery is the
best asset in directing affairs that
require several hands. 1nstinctively
they learn to respect the leader who
manages himself and they find 1t to
tho interest to stand by him. The
head is the big thing in making team
work effective.

Latin Words in our Lanuuaoe

The NOrman-French people who
settled England gave to English
speaking people several thousand
words with a few alterations. Then,
at the Revival of Learning, a still
larger number of Latin words came
into our language. The Latin word
facilis became facile; the word natio
appeared an nation; the word opinio
as opinion: the verb separatum as
separate; and so on with thousands
Of other words. And, since that time,
new Latin words have been coming
yearly into our language and settling
there.-From 1.-THE Art of Writing

Americas Meat-Eaters.

Take it the world over and the an
nual consumption of meat amounts to
80 pounds per capita. Here in these
United States, however, the figure rises
to $50 pounds head, declares the
Los Angeles Times. The American
is the worlds champion meat eater
The average citizen Of the United
States will every year eat more than
his weight in red beef. The English
man is supposed to be terror in
the meat line, but he only takes on
an average of 100 pounds year. OF
course, the vegetarian will insist that
the Americans are the lowest type of
civilization and are a feeble, pulse
less people tottering to the grave. But
If they can do what they have done
under the incubus of 100 pounds of
beef every year, what could they not
accomplish If they would only leave
meat alone? The people who have
banished booze from the land should
now arise in their might and absolve
America from the curse Of fllet
mignOn.

the morning dawned. During the hours

love for Uriah rose up and clamOred
to help him. She remembered leaving
him stretched out on the floor as If he

back into Pendlehaven place and slow

Devon into the library where Doctor
John and Doctor Paul still sat, strug-
Cling with the mystery that had come
into their usually quiet home. After
vainly trying to force more than mono
syllable replies from Tonnibel, they
had put her to bed, gibbering with
fright
Edith advanced to the middle of the
room, holding the little bag in her
hand, looking first at Doctor John, who
tried unsuccessfully to recall where he
had seen her, and then at Doctor Paul.
Where's my man, my Uriah? she
asked hoarsely and theR-Doctor John
recognized her and rose to his feet.

Of lead in i'm" went on Edith, mo-
notonously. II want to see i'm; want
to take i'm back to the boat"
For the space of thirty seconds, per-
haps, no one ventured a word. Then,
as the woman swayed, Doctor John
leaped forward and put her into a
chair. The bag dropped to the floor
beside her. Tears began to flow down
her cheeks and, with her sleeve, she
brushed them away.
where's my man, my Uriah" she
demanded again fiercely. "Give i'm
back to me, mister, and I'll Where's
the pup that shot inn"
"Who shot him?" cried Doctor John.
Edith gave him a peculiar look.
Reggie, Reggie Brown" she whined.
Il saw i'm, and Tony, thinkin' l did
it"
A sharp cry fell from DR.. Paul Pen
dlehaven.
"Tony vowed she did It," he gasped.
"Oh, my poor little girl! She didn't
even mention your being here"
"Tony's like that" assented Edith.
"She wouldn't peach on a dog"
Doctor John came to her side with
one long stride.
Are you ready to swear Reginald
Brown shot your husband?" he de-
manded.
"Of course 1 am, mister" nodded
Edith. HE was always runnin' after
Tony, and she hated i'm. He was
right over there when, suddenlike, he
banged bullet smack at my man.
That duffer, the dirty pup, amt fit to
clean Uriah's boots. When Tony
pushed me out of this house she says,

He waited for her to speak, to deny
her words, but the fearful expression
in the gray eyes turned upon him con-
fused him still more
"Yes, CO." Tony told him, rousing
herself, "and-6nd-never think of me

There was silence in the room as he
went away, but no sooner had the door
closed than Tony flung up her arms
and sank unconscious in a forlorn, lit
tie heap against Paul Pendlehaven.

tons, County Treasurer G. H. Rich

Treasurer Richmond points out
that tax money is consigned to its
various uses as quickly as received,
and therefore is beyond redemption,
even though it was permitted OF
him to refund. A refund OF taxes
is made under no circumstance
This is impressed upon the tax
payer by cards posted conspicu-
ously in the office of the. treasurer.
1t is said approximately one-third
