Why Buried With Head 70 the West.

Why Buried With Head to the West.
The usual posture Of the dead is
with the feet eastward and the head
toward the west-the fitting attitude
of those who look for their Lord,
Whose name Is the East" and who
will come to judgment in the regions
of the dawn suddenly. But 1t was
the ancient usage of the church that
the martyr, the bishop, the saint, and
even the priest, should occupy in their
sepulture a position the reverse Of the
secular dead, and lie down with their
feet westward and their heads to the
rising sun. The position Of the crOzier
and the cross on ancient sepulchers OF
the clergy record and reveal this fact.
The doctrine suggested by such a
burial was that these mighty men
would be honOred with first resur-
rection, and as their Master came on
from the East they were to arise and
follow the Lamb as he went; mas
much as they, with him, would adj
vance to the judgment Of the general
multitudes, the ancients and the saints
which were worthy to judge and reign.

UNDOUBTEDLY HIS BY RIGHT
Boorish Stranger Surely Proved His

The car on an English railway was
not overcroWded. There was gOodly

evidently there was not room for the
fussy man who entered last.
He stood on every ones toes.
He pushed his luggage in every ones

He elbOwed himself plenty of room

the man next to him.
"Thank goodness replied the
stranger, that you spoke first"
"What do you mean?" asked the
rude man.

him a gold matchbox, II must give you
this, sir"

Famous FRENCH sona.

"Ca Ira" was the first popular song
TO spring out of the French RevOlu-
ton. 1t was probably first sung in
1880 by the insurgents as they
marched to Versailles. The music
was that Of contra dance which was
extremely popular under the name OF
Carlton National" 1t was composed
by drummer In the orchestra of the
opera house whose name was Becourt.
The air was great favOrite with
Queen Marie Antolnette. The words
were suggested by Lafayette to Ladre,
a street singer; he remembered them
from hearing Benjamin Franklin say
at various stages Of the American Rev.
olution when asked for news: "Ca, Ira,
ca ira" ("it will go, it will go''). There
are five stanzas with different re-
trains, becoming more ferocious as the
revolution progressed.

The Razor in History.

The next time your razor slips re-
member that it. was Scipio Africanus,
the great Roman, who was the first
to institute the custom Of shaving
daily. Which observation brings us
to the subjectj of shaves and boards
in general. Who took the first shave?
Nobody knows. The answer to the
question, who wore the first beard ?
is more simple. Adam, of course.
Something is known Of the beard
Of Belshazzar, the ancient monarch
who made a great feast to 1000
lords" BelShatzzar used a curling iron
and has frequently been pictured with
beard full Of curls. To users of hem
ma powder it ought to be a comfort to
know this monarch used gold powder
on his beard.

COMB SAGE TEA 4

Common garden sage brewed into a

a large bottle, at little cost, at drug
stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding a
lot of muss. - &EA@A As~A1
While gray, faded hair is not sinful
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness. = By
darkening your hair with ,Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does it so natural

sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appearf years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet reuui-
site. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.
