Why?
DO WE sNEEzER

TVHE nose is lined with membranes,
back of which is a network Of
very fine nerves which are ex-
tremely sensitive. The function Of
these membranes is to catch and hold
the impure matter which comes into
the nose when air is inhaled. Sneez-
ing arises from the involuntary action
Of these nose nerves in attempting to
clear the nose suddenly and violently.
It only occurs when particularly
quick job has to be done. Otherwise
the Irritating matter is taken care Of
by the secretions in The nose itself.
Smoke, pepper or other irritants
cause sneezing because they rasp
against this fine network Of nerves
and the latter seek to rid themselves
of the foreign substances in the quick
est possible manner Colds make us
sneeze because the nose is clogged up
with mucus and other matter and ma
ture is trying to clear out the nose
channels after all other methods have
failed. tcopyriRht.)

DIAMOND HAS MANY VIRTUES
But According to Superstition the
Gem Must Be Gift to Person
Who Wears Il.

According to superstition (and to
fact, alsO), the owner Of a diamond
is lucky, indeed. The diamond should
be worn upon the left side, for 1t is
of greater virtue there, for the
strength Of its growing is toward the
North, that is the left side Of the
world, and the left part Of a man
when he turneth his face toward the
East. He who carries diamond will
have strength and manhood; it will
keep him from harm, especially from
broken limbs. 1t will give him VIC
tory over all his enemies II his cause
is righteous. It will keep him from
strife and riots, and is a talismans
against enchantments In fact, IL an
enchanter tries 20 work a spell upon
the possessor OF diamond he will
find 1t will work upon himself instead.
No wild beast will attack the diamond
owner. 1t heals all manner Of mental
troubles. If poison be brought near
it. the diamond will become moist and
sweat. In order to be of the greatest
virtue, the diamond must be giveh
freely instead Of being bought.

FELICIA.


II ELICIA has the augury Of happi-
ness, since that IS the significance
Of her name. She Is the feminine
of Felix, which seems to have been an
agnomen assumed By any individual at
will when he considered himself un-
usually fortunate. It appears first In
the reign Of Herod Agrippa. It means
''happy" and has given rise to all man
neF of words and names signifying
good fortune in modern languages.
There are eleven masculine saints
by that name in the Roman calendar,
and FeIice, the feminine, first appears
In Italy, Spain and the south Of
France. From Felice have come Fee
licia In England and Felise in France.
There was a Felicia who was queen Of
Navarro in 1867. The old Romans had
a Goddess of Happiness whom they
called Felicitas. The slave-martyr Of
Carthage who suffered with st. Per-
petua was so-called, and there was an
other Felicitas under Antonius Plus,
whO,- with her seven sons, presented a
Christian parallel to the mother in the
Maccabees.
Through the votaries of the young
slave-martyr Felicia became popular
In Italy, and this same character Is re-
sponsible for the rise to favor of Fell
cite in France. Faustina is an Italian
form Of the same name. hut has never
had popular favor. Felicia has always
been the favorite form in English
speaking countries. though Felicity

AT THE CHRISTENING,

No rule is SO general, which admits not
some exception.-Burton.
THERE was a time when babies
were dressed deliberately when
they were christened, whether
this took place in church or at home.
The christening robe was very long
and wrought with number of tucks
and ruffies and puffs. Nowadays
these elaborate christening robes have
quite gone out of style among people
who keep abreast of manners as they
change. In fact the elaborate chris
tening robe looks little tawdry to
us now and we suspect the mother
who dresses her babe in this way OF
being not well posted on prevailing
customs.
If you are planning to take your
baby to be christened have it dressed
in simple white dress. This may be
Of the finest material and may be
made by hand, but it should be devoid
of furbelows. It is very nice to have
the baby entirely in white. even to
the robe in which he Is held. It Is
usual to uncover the child's head for
the ceremony but especially If the
church Is draughty II should wear a
simple white bonnet.
If the child has a nurse 1t may be
brought to the church by the nurse,
but one Of the sponsors or the god
mother should hold the baby in her
arms when the ceremony begins and
should receive the baby from the min
lister or priest after the ceremony
has taken place.
The question is sometimes asked
whether or not the minister should be
given a fee at the time Of the bap-
tism. In some churches there is a
definite fee for this ceremony. Other
wise no fee Is really required and
many clergymen rather object to re-
ceiving any for such services. A tact
full thing then to do is to inclose a
crisp bank note In an envelope and
hand it to the clergyman with the re-
quest that he make use Of 1t in some
one Of his good works. He certainly
could not object to that. The father
Of the child should attend to this after
the ceremony.
