PRETTY LEGEND OF SILkW0R
Chinese to Have Brought Bless
ing to the Earth.

The head of the silkworm is strik-
ingly like that Of horse. There is
a legend supposed to account for it.
In the olden days. when gods lived
among the people, there was a man
whose prosperity had been changed
TO poverty by the ravages of dread
full war. He possessed but one treas
ure, handsome horse which had been
brave and loyal throughout all trials.
In his time of distress the spirited
horse offered himself for the work
of a common pack horse, and one day,
when he came TO halt, weary from
unaccustomed labor, the man urged
him forward
walk, my good friend" he said;
"when better days come l will reward
your faithfulness. My beautiful daugh-
ter shall be your BRIDE
The horse sprang forward with joy,
and from that time was more faithful
than ever. and the mans fortune grew
better day by day.
The daughter was very lovely, and
one day the governor saw her and
asked her in marriage. When the
father proudly consented, he was so
Indignantly upbraided by the horse for
his forgotten promise that the man,
In rage killed the horse and hung the
hide with the head attached on the
garden wall The maiden saw it and
the sad eyes touched her heart with
pity, but the father laughed and ex-
claimed:
81 promise again. Win and takeT'
No sooner had the words left the
mans lips than a fierce typhoon came
whirling through the air and caught
up the horses hide into its darkness.
The thunder god rolled and crashed
his whirling drums, the wind god
loosened his hold on the great bag OF
winds, and all the world was filled
with roar and tumut and terror. The
father called and called for his daugh-
ter, but the beautiful maiden was gone
AS the typhoon whirled away, one
dark cloud drifted back from its inky
trail and fell to the ground, not a
cloud, but the horses hide, and twisted
closely i'm its folds was the maiden,
calm and beautiful, but dead.
Then the father knew it was a god
he had wronged, and, deeply sorrow
full, buried the two together with hon
Ors.
The next morning the sunshine glis-
tened softly on the grave. The dewy
grass was covered over with cloud
like sllken web, and within the filmy
meshes sat numberless fairy spinners
with long, twisted bodies and gentle,
swaying horSelike heads.
So came the blessing of the silk
worm to the world - Indianapolis

1t is true that many contract severe
colds and recover from them without
taking any precaution or treatment,
and knowledge of this fact leads
Others to take their chances instead of
giving their colds the needed attention.
1t shonld be borne in mind that every
cold weakens the lungs, lowers the
vitality, makes the system less able to
withstand each succeeding attack and
paves the way for the more serious
diseases. Can you afford to take such
desperate chances when Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, famous for its
cures of bad colds may be had for a
trifle?

Bank Keeps Gold Under Water.

No other bank in the world is pro-
tected as the Bank of England, writes
William s. Walsh, who collects odd
bits of information. This unique pro
lection is due to an artesian we'll in
the bank This well supplies the bank
with its water independently of the
rest of the city; 1t is 400 feet deep
and supplies 1000 cubic feet of water
an hour
The bullion department, which holds
the ingots of precious metal is nightly
submerged in several feet of water by
the action of special machinery Any
one attempting to rob the bank, then,
must he an expert swimmer and diver.
In the morning the water is pumped
away and the ingots are readily ac-
cessible again.
However, the water still protects the
other departments of the bank. Its
supply is almost unlimited, the bank
knows. and its protection is practi-
cally absolute when IL is used. The
bank has very delicate machinery ar
ranged SO thar even the lifting of one
coin from pile will release a catch
which in turn releases a supply OF
water.

HOW C00LIE SAVES HIS FACE
chinaman Is Amusing and ingenious,
but His Little Tricks Do Not
Always Work.

Chinese workmen would rather en-
dure any amount of physical pain
than to lose face, writes Sam Dean in
Asia. / made that discovery through
an experience we had with our gate
keeper soon after my arrival in
China. We had dismissed him be-
cause he insisted on collecting 10 per
cent on some goods we had brought
into the courtyard to bale for ship
meat 10 America. When l came home
one night, shortly afterward, | found
him mounted on the horse block in
front of the gate, haranguing several
hundred listeners. He told them
how he had been cheated and dis
charged, and then, Tightening a loose
~ knOtted cord that encircled his
neck, he went to the front door; tied
one end Of the cord to the brass
knocker and sank down till he was
half strangled. Then he arose and
addressed the assembly still further
l had seen enough. ! rushed into the
hold and told friend who had been
In China longer than / what was hap
pening He ran out gave the gate
keeper a shake and said: "If you
hang yourself at our door will kick
you TO DEATH" The crowd burst out
laughing, and the old man, who had
hoped to make us lose face, lost so
much himself that he sneaked away
as fast as he could. I remember an
rhnr,
the crowd laughed no less heartily
at the expense Of the foreigner He
was a whale Of an Italian contractor,
and he was in charge of the rebuild
ing of the Picking south gate In one
spot the coolies were using q tamper
made Of large round iron casting
with ropes attached. They held the
ropes and, throwing their bodies back
ward and forward In time with a song
they were singing, they raised and
lowered the casting. Meanwhile, how
ever, they were losing face with the
crowd, for the italian was laying on
pretty vigorously with the cane, and
so, to retrieve their honor, they be-
gan to sing with all their might:
"Old foreign devil, old foreign devil
Beat, beat him, beat him in the earth !"
The Italian did not understand, but
the crowd did and laughed heartily;
the foreigner was giving the coolies
blows with a stick, but they were hit
ting him a mental crack that made a
fool of him.

Chilean Cranes Imnorted.

An experimental shipment OF grapes

States for the product Of the Chilean

I'm cold storage and are reported to
have arrived In excellent condition,
and to have been sold at highly sat
isfactory prices. 1t is reported that
another shipment is planned as soon
as arrangements can be made. The
experiment is OF particular interest,
since II is possible that the exporta-
tion of fresh fruit from Chile TO the

profitable, providing shipping facili-
ties were available. Chile produces
fine fruit of almost every variety
known TO the temperate zone, and 1t
ripens during the winter months In
the United States, when the market
would be at Its best.

PENS LONG USED
Writing instruments Are of Great
Antiquity.
Records Prove They Are az old az
the Sword-constructed of
Many Materials.

The pen is one of the Oldest instru-
ments men use. Whether or not 1t is
mightier than the sword, as Bulwer
Lytton makes the great French cardi-
nal exclaim In the play Of "Richelieu,"
it is perhaps of as great antiquity as
the sword. 1t Is not as old as stone
headed war clubs or stone axes, but
1t seems to date back to the begin
ming of mems knowledge Of metals
and their alloys. AS soon as men got
the idea Of inserlbing symbols on
stones as representing things or
words, they used an iron instrument
which was the parent, or the ancestor,
of the pen. There were pens of iron
and bronze and reeds, and later the
quilts of feathers.
The Assyrian kings and scribes and
the PhOenecians 1000 years before
Christ proclaimed their dynasties with
DEGREES written with pens made from
reeds and feathers. The early Greeks
inscribed their letters with stylus,
hut the later Greeks wrote with the
quilts of geese, crows, hawks and
eagles. Pens of brass and silver were
In use in Rome at the beginning Of
the Christian era.
The stylus with which many Of the
Greeks and Romans wrote was some
thing like an iron bodkin and 1t came
to be used so often In Draws that 1t
was prohbited-thHt Is, men were
prohibited to use a stylus. The bod
kin in old English times was no doubt
a big darning or knitting needle and
Hamlet had that instrument In mind
when he said: when he his quietus
might make with a bare bodkin."
There are various references In the
Bible to pens. In the Book of Judges,
the fifth chapter and the fourteenth
verse, is this: "Out Of Machir came
down governors, and out of Zebulum
they that handle the pen Of the
writer" In / Kings, the twenty-first
chapter, In the matter of Ahab, Jeze-
bel and NabOth 1t is written: $50 she
wrote letters In Ahab's name, and
sealed them with his seal and sent the
dGlNNtS nulO tic anu w thC
mobiles that were In his city, dwelling
with Naboth" In the nineteenth chap
ter Of Job, the twenty-third and TWEEN
ty-fourth verses, is this: "Oh that
my words were now written Oh that
they were printed In book That
they were craven with an iron pen
and lead I'm rock forever" The eighth
chapter Of Isaiah begins, Take thee a
great roll. and write In II with a mans
pen concerning Maher- shalaI-hash
baz.' In the Third Epistle of John
occurs this: 81 had many things 10
write. but l will not with Ink and pen
write TO thee"
Pens of steel, gold and silver APP
peared In Great Britain, France and
America about 1900 but they were
very slow in gaining favor. They
were expensive, clumsy and not as
satisfactory as the quill. But the
quiz had reached the limit in the
nicely with which 1t could be pointed
and the gold and steel pens continued
to be improved In their smoothness
and fiexibIlIty. The first fountain
pen was patented about 1880 and the
number of patents granted on fOun-
tain pens now reaches into the thou
sands.

Old Scottish Sunday Dinner.

In letter of Sir Walter Scott, dated
in 1924, he describes a typical Sab
bath in Edinburgh 100 years ago as
follows:
Il have always been intimate with
the Forbeses from my infancy, since
the excellent old lord with his wife
and family used weekly to dine at my
fathers always on Sunday, and on
the same bill of fare, which would now
be thought curious one to invite
nobleman to. In the first place there
was sheep-head broth and said
sleeps head itself the reason being
that the sleeps head which requires
much boiling, was put on the night be-
fore, and the dressing of the beef
steaks occupied the least possible time,
and thus the necessity of employing
servants on the Sabbath day was
diminished as much as possible. Then
there was q bottle or two of special
wine, which no wine merchant had fit
ted for the market, and there was q
sermon read during which one part of
the children were sleeping and the
other pinching and kicking them to
make them keep awake And then
there is an old Sabbath for you in
Edinburgh"
