LONG A PLACE OF WORSHIP
Before the Christian Era Romans Hon
ored Their Gods on the Noun
tain Of Monssrrat-

Monserrat the famous shrine In the
Spanish province Of Barcelona, Illus
trates the effect which high mountains
have on men. When you climb to the
top Of high mountain you feel w0r-
shtpful and at peace with the universe.
Monserrat Is an outlying spur OF the
Pyrennees which stands all alone,
splendidly dominating a rich plain. 1t
is one Of the most ancient and famous
Of Catholic shrines. According to
legend, many centuries ago an image
Of the Virgin was found at the top Of
the mountain, and 1t was impossible to
move the image. Thus 1t was shown
to men that they should build shrine
on Monserrat.
In medieval times It was shrine Of
unexcelled beauty and splendor. An
emperor came here to kneel and to
cover the great Byzantine church with
gold. A queen wafked up the noun
tain barefoot. The great and the
learned Of all the Christian world
gathered at Monserrat. It's greatness
came to an end in the nineteenth cen
tury when the French sacked the
shrine and carried away the orna-
ments,
Now the church has been rebuilt
and offers free lodging to the pilgrims
who come there still, but the fame
and splendor Of the place have shrunk.
Yet Monserrat will always be a shrine.
Before Christ the Romans had a tenn
pie OF Venus there and before that
more than likely savages worshiped
their gods on the mountain top.
Worship veritably grows in the soil
Of Monserrat.

Formino a chiId's Ideas.

Priceless opportunities belong to a
mother to give to the baby, with his
whole life before him, the true foun-
dations Of character and chances Of
future happiness and greatness. So
the first thing wise woman does is
to reason the matter out, deciding on
method Of action which can be pursued
with as little deviation as possible.
Preparation is needed, for just as love
does not bestow a mysterious instinct
as to the proper physical treatment of
baby, so affection alone will not
prove a sufficient guide or teacher In
the matter Of character training. One
has to cultivate the power Of restrain
ing impulse, Of infinite patience and
infinite self-control and firm grasp Of
those principles which underlie the for
nation Of character. BY possessing
these powers herself, the mother Is
able to direct a child's conduct and to
suggest motives to him Mt time when
his impulses are natural and his ideas
yet uniformed, when he will learn lit
orally unconsciously.

Prophetic Fire.

The death of Levi +. Morton re

Canajoharie years and years ago, be
fore Mr.. Morton became vice presi

Senator James Arkell, they having
long been intimate friends. During
Mr.. Mortons stay at the Arkell home
q fire occurred In which the guest's
suitcase, marked Levi p. Morton"
was burned on one end In such man
ner that all the letters of the name
were destroyed but the "v" and "P.'
Just at that time Mr.. Morton was be.
ing mentioned In connection with the
Republican nomination for either pres

tile Senator Arkell ventured the opin'
Ion that the strange work of the fire
pointed toward success In that "v"
and "P" meant vice president. A few
months after the fire Leyi p. Morton
was nominated for and later elected

All Of the beautiful laces we know
today are developed from that clever
invention, the fish net. They bark

toric. ~
The first white men who came to
America found no lacemakers on this
continent, but they did find the In
dams weaving fabrics OF cotton, yucca
and other fabrics, with elaborate pat
tern designs. They were particularly
skillful at a certain sort Of drawn
work."
The California Indians Of today
make cotton lace, but the art has been
taught to them by white people. The
pottery they make for sale Is some
times adorned with this lace.
Which suggests mention Of the fact
that the early Indians often decorated
their pottery with textile patterns by
impressing the latter upon the clay
while soft.

TO MAKE AND HOLD FRIENDS
knaek That Can Be Acquired by Most
People, and 10 Well Worth
the Having.

Few people are naturally blessed
with the happy faculty of making
friends easily. With most people It
Is more or less an acquired art. II
you wish to acquire this art, don't
be discouraged at the apparent ease
with which some Of your friends seem
to get on" with everybody. They've
only learned few more of the
tricks Of the trade" so to speak,
than you have. That's all. The main
point is that they have learned them.
A person who would have friends
must show himself friendly. Just you
try 1t and see If 1t doesn't act like a
charm.
Half the battle is to meet people as
II it may be taken for granted that
they are glad to see you, and that
you are glad to see them. Nine cases
out of ten II you are genuinely glad
to see them and show 1t they will be
glad to see you.
Don't always expect the other per-
son to make the advances II there Is
no good reason why you shouldn't
make them. Sometimes the very per-
sons who seem most "unapproacha-
BILE" turn out to be quite willing to be
friendly IL they are approached in the
right way. Look for the good In peo-
pie, always, and you will be very sure
to find it.

tober and November to last until April
or May. They bought quarter of
beef, a hog or sheep to furnish the
pieces de resistance Of the winters
meals. The beef was corned or
smoked. The pork and mutton was
similarly cured and put away. The
smoking was done In public smoke
houses, maintained for profit.
A barrel Of -four, two or three Of
apples and potatoes added the vege-
table content to the menus. Other
supplies to lend variety were laid by
In lesser quantities. All sorts Of farm
products were purchasable In the fall
at minimum prices, because at that
time many sailing vessels and barges
came down the river from upstate

Early Irish History.

In the earliest time Of which there
is any record, Ireland was inhabited
by tribes Of the great Celtic family,
to which belonged the ancient Brit
ons Of the larger island, and the Gauls
of the country now known as France.
Each tribe had Its chief, and after
time supreme monarch came to the
front. One of the most famous of
these was Brian, who overthrew the
invading Danes in the battle Of Clon-
tart, fought In the year 1914 near Dub
lin. He was slain In his tent at the
close of the fight. After his death
the supreme monarchy was often In
complete abeyance, misrule and an
archy widely prevailed and the ancient
form Of society was largely broken up.
1t Ii said that Roderick O'Connor, son
of Turlopgh, was the last Of the mon
archs Of Celtic ireland. From that
time the influence Of Anglo Normsns
Increased.
