ARTICLE NOW SELDOM SEEN
But Many Decades Ago the "Antima-
CAESAR" Was a Part of Every
WelI-RequIated Home.


Did you ever come across the word
"antimacassar?" If You are from
New England you surely have met it,
for New England Is its home. The
word means ''an ornamental covering
thrown over chairs. sofas. etc. to pre-
vent their being sOiled by the hair"
Its derivation dates back to the ro-
nance of the days when American
clipper ships ranged all over the sew
en- seas and their bywaters.
The hardy shippers of those days
used TO bring home substance pro-
duced on the island of Celebes, in the
eastern archipelago, named macassar
oil, from the place where it was OBJ
tanned. There was belief in those
days that this oil tended 70 retard or
prevent badness. So it was used in
plentiful, quantities by beaux and
near-beaux.
But the oil worked havoc with the
parts of chairs and sofas wherein
the aforesaid beaux reposed their
shiney heads. So the New England
housewives, as a preventive, devised
the antimacasSar (see the Latin "an-

Soho and the parish of ST. Giies-Or
Seven Dials, as il is better known
are about to begin their passage into
history and be converted into the most
modern business district of the me-
tropolis, possibly n second city OF
London.
Soho, which probably derived its
name from the duke of Nonmouth's
famous battle-cry "Soho" at Sedg-
moor, has experienced many vicissi-
tudes of fortune. In the olden days
regarded as. one of the fashionable
quarters of London, it gradually be-
came the home OF bohemianism and
the haunt of Sam Pepys and Gold
smith.
Today its dinGy and uninviting
streets are lined with French, Italian
and Swiss restaurants, where London
ers and visitors may learn what the
much-praised foreign cooking really is.
y The whole district is now almost
entirely inhabited by foreigners and
is the favorite meeting place of the
anarchists of the tame" variety. For
long it was looked upon as the equiv
alent of the MOntmartre, but never at
any time has it attained the attrac-
tiveness or liveliness of the gay Paris
ian quarter.

Drink Plenty of Water.

Are you taking at least eight glass
es of water a day? 1t is food and
medicine, 1t is more necessary to
drink at least this amount than to
comb your hair or wash your face. If
our bodies did not have an enormous
capacity for taking punishment the
terrible perils we daily subject our
selves TO If we do not drink enough
water would be understood by every
man, woman and child.

amounts to more than two glasses OF

DISASTER COMES WITH RAIN
Algerian Native Houses Are Built to
Afford Shelter Only From
the Suns Rays.

In Algeria one of the perplexing bib
lical puzzles of my childhood was set
at rest, writes Temple Manning in the
Chicago Journal. Until l went there
had never been able TO figure out ex-
actly what was meant by the pass
age lii the Bible that reads: How can
we make bricks. for we have no more
straw?'
But when / saw the Algerians make
bricks ny incasing short straws in the
mud of the fields, patting the bricks
into shape, and drying them in the
sun, the mystery was explained. And
then one day when it rained l won
dered why they ever did 1t.
Fortunately 1t seldom rains in Al
geria, but that day 1t rained as i
never saw 1t rain before or since. The
very heavens seemed TO open and the
celestial reservoir to empty itself With
In q few hours. A yeritable river
gathered in the streets and ran from
house to house throughout the little
village, and every once in n while l
heard through the darkness Of MONDAY
a dull splash.
The next morning / waded through
tile village 10 see what had happened,
and / found whole families camping
out on the highest ground, for their
houses had melted away. Rain comes
so seldom that the natives do not in
clude it in their scheme of life; they
build their houses for the sunny days.
And when the rain comes their mud
brick houses, unless strongly white
washed and they seldom are, fall
down and melt into mud heaps.
Then the whole family goes camp
ing until the house is rebuilt. "Tu cha
Allahi" smiles the serene owner-"It
is the viii of God"

Rewsre Yellow BITTERLY.

The yellow butterflies which look
harmless enough when flying around
the garden are really danger signals
to the cabbage grower. for these but
terflies lay the eggs from which cab
hage worms are hatched. To keep
the worms away, begin busting the
cabbage plants when they are very
small with air-slaked lime TO which
a little paris green has been added, or.
better still. spray them with arsenate
OF lead, one poune to gallon of wa
ter. There is absolutely no danger in
using poison on young cabbages, as

falls will later be removed.

Dollar Sim in Brazil.

The monetary unit in Brazil IS the
Portuguese real. though in theory
only, for no such coin exists; hence
in practice only the plural refs is used
and the unit Is really the milreis, or
one thousand reis. For some years
the milrcis had remained at the fixed
value of II 80 the English pound. or
about $3.50 reis TO the American dol
lar. In larger transactions the unit
is the conto, one million refs. Gold
is never seen in circulation in Brazil.
From the milreis 10 the cOnt0 there
are paper notes, silver coins from five
hundred to two thousand refs and
nickel pieces of four, two and one
hundred, the last the tOstao of popu-
lar parlance. The Brazilian places
his dollar sign after the milreis and
before the reis. SO that $3.50 means
the equivalent of whole dollar and
the man who pays $500 for a news
paper or a small glass of iced cane
juice does not feel that he has been
unusually extravagant. nj least if he
has lived enough in Brazil to get the
local point of view.
