TrIckins Fate.

Every Hindoo must have son to
perform the proper rites in his behalf
so that he may be released from pur-
gatory after death, says Asia Maya
zine. Especially cursed, therefore, is
he whose fate 1t is to be sonless. One
such, Brahmin, propitiated the god
Vishu and obtained a boon. He asked
for a son, but, since son was not in
the mans fate, yishu refused. Twice
this happened, but the third time the
Brahmin asked that his merriments
might be shared by gods and men
alike. This was granted. He then
went home, locked his door and, with
his wife, began to sing and dance.
Thereupon, all the gods and men, by
the terms Of the boon. were compelled
TO sing and dance with him. and the
business of the universe was brought
TO standstill. "Stop," begged the
gods. "Only when you grant me a
son." answered the Brahn,!n. Ard he
had his way.

WOMAN BEGAN LONG DISPUTE.
shakespeare-Baeon Controversy Had
Its Origin In Book Published by
American Author.

The long-drawn- out controversy over
the authorship of the Shakespearean
plays had its origin In a remarkable
book written by an American woman,
Della Bacon, native of Tallmadge,
o., with q preface written by her
friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne. She was
woman Of intense application and
capacity for esoteric study and her
book was the product of lifetime
spent In the feverish pursuit of her
hobby. Her book was entitled 1.-THE
Philosophy of the Plays of Shake
speare Unfolded," copies Of which are
now rare, as It has long been out OF
print.
The book is written In very labori-
GUS style, difficult to read. Some Of
the sentences are three to four hun
dred words long, but the entire work
shows evidences of intense study Of
the works Of the poet and mastery
knowledge OF the history of Shake
speare's period.
The intense obsession with which
she pursued her theories brought her
life to tragic end. Becoming con-
vinced that Shakespeare's secret was
hidden in his tomb at Stratford, she
went to reside there to confirm her re-
searches. She was found one mid
night at the tomb, muttering incoher-
emily, and evidently making prepare
tons to open the tomb in search Of
concealed manuscripts which she be-
lieved had been inferred with the body
of the poet, beneath the cryptic in
scription, Good friend, for Jesus
sake forbear to dig the bones inclosed
here" She was removed to an asylum.

TARIFF BILL is PASSED
Every Indication That New Bill Will
Be Of Great Advantage to
the Farmers.

The long battle in congress over
the emergency tariff bill ended Mon
day when the house, by vote Of
245 to 81, adopted the conference
report to which the senate had
agreed. The measure was sent to
the White house, where it is expect
ed to be signed soon by the presi-
dent.
The emergency measure, passed in
the closing days of the last session,
was vetoed by President Wilson, but
Immediately re-introduced in the
present extra session.
1t carries tariff duties on thirty
odd farm, products. together with
compensatory duties on articles
manufactured from them. 1t also
empowers the secretary of the treas
ury to employ penalties in staving
off dumping Of foreign-made goods,
continues the wartime control over
importations Of dyes and operates to
clarity tangles in the assessment of
duties which result from fluctuating
exchange rates.
During the long debate, opponents
of high tariff predicted retailiatory
action by Canada, by South Ameri-
ca, and by some nations of Europe.
Chairman Fordney. of the house
ways and means committee. which
drafted the bill, said, however, no
protest had come.
Only slight furry of opposition
appeared as the bill went into the
roll call. Representative Garner, of
Texas, democratic member of the
ways and means committee, re-stat-
ed the position of majority of his
party and again declared that the
bill could do no possible good.

The room in which palms and gera-
NUNS are kept should not be allowed
to get cooler than 40 or As degrees.
The palm should be placed in part
ly shaded spot, but never where 1t may
come in contact with gas or cold
draughts. 1t should never be placed
in the direct rays of the sun. The
leaves should occasionally be sponged
with fishoil soap and warm water. 1t
should not be too well watered, and
perfect drainage is necessary to sue

plenty Of sunlight and its roots should
be kept moist. 1t should be sprayed
with tepid water occasionally TO keep
the foliage bright and green and pre-
vent dust from lodging on the leaves.

such as Gordon Atterbury. paid him
a reluctant tribute. Thanks. per-
haps, to the newspaper comments
as much as TO any other factor. In
the minds of those OF all shades OF
opinion in the parish the issue had
crystallized into a duel between
the rector and Eldon Parr.
Bitterly as they resented the
glare OF publicity into which St
Johns had been dragged. the nrst
layman of the diocese was not be-
loved; and the fairer-minded Of
Holders opponents, though appall-
ed, were forced to admit In their
hearts that the methods by which
Mr.. Parr had made his fortune and
gained his ascendency would not
bear scrutiny. - Some of them
were disturbed. indeed, by the dis
coVery that there had come about
in them, by imperceptible degrees,
in the last few years a new and
critical attitude toward the ways
OF modern finance: most OF them
had an uncomfortable reeiing that
Holder was somehow right-a feel
ing which they sought to stire
when they reflected upon the con-
sequence OF facing II. For this
would mean a disagreeable shak-
ing up OF their own lives. Few OF
them were in position whence
they might cast stones at Eldon
Parr.
What these did not grasp was the
fact that that which they felt stir
ring within them was the new and
spiritual product OF the dawning
twentieth century-the Social Con-
science. They wished heartily that
the new rector who had developed
this disquieting personality would
peacefully resign and leave them to
the former even tenor of their
lives.
They did not for one moment
doubt the outcome Of his struggle
with Eldon Parr. The great bank
er was known to be relentless. his
name was synonymous with vic
tory. And yet, paradoxically, Hold
der compelled their inner sympathy
and admiration!
Some Of them, who did not at
tempt peremptorilY to choke these
processes. made the startling dis
covery that they were not, after
all, so shocked by his doctrines as
they had at first supposed. The
trouble was that they could not
continue to listen to him, as for
merly, with comfort.
ONE THING CERTAIN.
One thing was certain, that they
had never expected to look forward
to a vestry meeting with such
breathless interest and anxiety.
This clergyman had suddenly ac-
complished the surprising feat Of
reviving the church as a burning
vital factor in the life Of the COM
munity! He had discerned her
enemy and defied his power.
