DID YOU KNOW |?

T7EHY have all the pictures and EA Estatues of saints those funny w rings around their heads?" asked Jack, returning from an art exhibit one day.
 Those funny rings are called halos," explained mother, "and they have come to be associated with saints, much as a crown is thought of in connection with a king. In olden times the statues of the Roman dieties were decorated with a circlet of stars about the head. The Roman Emperors who considered themselves the equal of the gods adopted the same form of decoration. In the early days of Chris tianity, all such form of decoration

head full of bright Ideas about the new scheme.
 He waited fully fifteen minutes aft CT he heard the sound of the automo- bile taking Miss Salisbury to the sta tion; then slipping through the hedge that separated his own home from his neighbours big yard, he crept up toward the house.
 Just how to get into the house was something Ted hadn't thought about: in his plans he had always imagined the door wide open. But this door was locked tight shut and, if the truth must be told, didn't look the least in viting.
 "Why she didn't leave 1t open for me-" he said to himself, now isn't that funny. And I know she'd like to have me come tn-She always does. I guess if she didn't leave it open she must have forgot-and she'll be sorry for that. She won't mind If I break a glass-just a little bit of glass and then l can get in."
 Now Ted wasn't a bad boy, as you are thinking by now perhaps he was. Of course, he never liked to eat oat- meal or wash behind his ears or things like that But lots of folks don't like to do some of the things they really have to do and still do them and are very nice after all. And it is sure that Ted never, never never in the wide world ever thought of breaking into house with brlck. The trouble was that he had thought so hard about keeping house alone and he hadn't talked about 1t with anybody not even his mother; till he got all twisted up in his mind and thought he ought to do the very single thing that he ought not do. It's risky that way, when a person doesn't talk to his mother about things. So he broke into the house just that easy and took possession. Somehow the big long halls seemed fearfully lonesome and Ted decided that he would get Dick at once instead Of having a days fun all by himself. So, since it was vacation and Dick was at home every morning, he slipped enough to open from the inside, and back through the hedge to get his brother.
 "You've got into Miss salsbury's | house!" exclaimed Dick in utter amazement when Ted whispered the | invitation, Why Ted, GrahamI Don't

was carefully avoided, for in no way was the pagan art to be confused or associated with that of the new church. One day. however, someone conceived the idea of putting broad circular brass plates around the heads of statues which were placed out of doors and subject to the seasonal storms and winds. As time went on the original reason for these brass plates was apparently overlooked, for statues placed indoors were similarly adorned. So 1t was that when pictures of these statues of the saints were painted the brass plate or halo became a permanent form of decoration, that has lasted until this day, though few can explain or tell the reason why"

CABBAGE AND CARROT SALAD
 Wash head of lettuce, wrap in a cloth and put by the ice at least 2 hours before meal time.
 Cook six carrots, scrap, cut in long strips and put in cold place.
 Select a small head of cabbage, wash and cut very thin slices cross ways. Be careful to keep slices to- gether if possible as the whole slice across makes such pretty salad.
 Put the slices of cabbage in a pan of cold water to freshen.
 At meal time, drain the water off the cabbage and arrange the slices, one on each individual plate. If the slices of cabbage break up, as often happens, arrange neat, low piles of the shredded cabbage.
 On top of the cabbage arrange the strips of carrot radiating out from the center like petals of a flower.
 In the very center put spoonful of mayonnaise, either cooked or fresh will be good.
 Serve at once. The beauty of 2 summer salad makes the meal so ap- petizing that it pays to take the trou. ble to make salads very pretty.

Dick, you must remember to keep a watch out and if you see anyone around the place, tell me. I promised her I'd help keep an eye on things for her."
 But Ted put his thinking cap on and made a plan Such a beautiful house! Such a cupboard full of jam (hadn't he been there and feasted literally on many occasions?) Could one find more ideal place to go to house. keeping? A great big yard with plenty of bushes to make privacy and long hall with beautifully shining floors for sliding.

N ALklNG on StlltS Is a 1aVOr1le A outdoor amusement for boys. INN To an observer it appears W rather a dangerous kind of sport, but it is not so; because with little practics walking on stilts be- comes extremely easy.
 Shepherds in the South of France, whose land lies in the desert region use them with perfect freedom and great rapidity; constant habit enables them to preserve their balance so well that they run. jump, stoop and dance with the greatest ease and security. They are by their stilts enabled to see their f1ocks at a much greater dis tance, over a perfectly flat country, their feet being protected from water during the winter and the heated sands in summer.
 Another form of stilt used by shep- herds, not shown in the drawing, is the short stilt having the pole cut off below the knee and strapped to the leg. With this style of stilt they use a long staff, which they carry in their hands; this guards them against an accidental trip, and forms a third leg when they wish to rest. This form of stilt is often used without the pole by the tall man in the circus or on the street for advertising purposes.

were made. He wouldn't say a word to anybody until the house was his. Then he would take Dick to the place and tell him of the wonderful fun.
 It would be hard to say just why Ted didn't tell his mother and ask Miss Salisbury for the keys. He was so sure his plan was a good one and yet something seemed at the same time, to tell him that grown folks wouldn't understand-grown folks are queer sometimes. you know: at least that is what some folks think.
 So he went to bed without saying a word to a soul about his plan; he dreamed all night of the fun they would have and he wakened early his

 Whether it was good for 'em or not?" questioned Ted, Dicks younger brother, breathlessly. Ted had a great admiration for his bigger brother and he thought no one could plan such brave deeds or thinks up such won derful plans.

him as a foreign enemy. Thus, all unknowing, Oedipus had made true the word of the prophet, spoken be- fore his birth. But he did not realize that he had slain his father, the King of Thebes. Great was his surprise, therefore, to learn that the King of Thebes was dead and that the crown of that kingdom was offered to any man who could answer the riddle of the Sphinx.
 The Sphinx was a strange monster with the face of a woman, and the body and claws of lioness She crouched on a hill near Thebes wait ing to bounce upon and kill all the men who should pass by, because none of them could answer her riddle. When Oedipus heard of the harm this creature was doing to men he deter mined to rid the country of the Sphinx. so he went boldly up to the monster and said: Tell me your riddle"
 Then spoke the Sphinx: There is wondrous creature and its like is not found on earth, in air or in the water. At first it goes on four legs, then it goes on two legs and in the end it goes on three legs. What is it?''
 Tt is Man!" cried Oedipus. And in truth! In infancy man craw1s on all fours, then he walks on two legs and in old age he leans on a stick as a sort of a third leg. When the riddle was guessed the Sphinx cast herself over the side of the hill and was crushed to pieces on the rocks below. Great was the rejoicing of the people of Thebes as they welcomed Oedipus and crowned him as their king
 One day Oedipus discovered that he really the the Lo6 killed. The sunshine went out of his life and he was haunted by the awful ness of the crime he had committed. He gave up his throne and wandered b1indly about the country, clothed in beggarly rags. Nothing could console him nor protect him from the pricking of his conscience But his last days were made easier by the kind care of his loving daughter who never forsook him, but accompanied him wherever he journeyed and comforted him and helped him.

and it was fun-a great deal of fun to go into the lovely big jam closet and sniff at all the luscious looking jars and glasses and try to decide which one to open. The boys had feast that day and went home making eager plans for more fun they were to have. The next day baby sister Madge followed them through the hedge and to the back porch of Miss Salsbury's house before they saw her.

MN ONG ago, in the days of ancient
 M Greece, the future was foretold by wisemen at the court of the X king. Once a certain king or Inebes was told by prophet that he was doomed to be killed by his own son. The king was troubled over this announcement, so when a baby boy was born to him he ordered that the child be slain.

 But Ted took it all very seriously If Dick could have things so very nice and comfortable, food folks liked and no shoes to clean or chores to do, what a pity not to begin that charm ing existence at once!

~ ED and his father were gong ~ sailing, and Ted was anxiously 0 scanning the sky for signs of the &U next days weather when his fsL,ner came out upon the porch.
 ''So ho!" he said, my little sailor man would be a weather prophet as well! You have heard the old say ing, the most trustworthy sailor IS the most weatherwise."
 "But how can you tell the weather ahead of time,'' said Ted, puzzled.
 "Ah, that is the trickH exclaimed father. 'To know a squa1 after 1t is upon you is nothing, but to recognize it at a distance so you can prepare for it is half the battle won. The only way to know weather signs is to study the weather and rem ember all changes and their attending conditions, but there are a few old rhymes which if you learn them by heart may help you to know the weather signs when you see them.
