WAS DEITY OF ANCIENT EGYPT
Amen One Of the Chief Gods-in He
brew Word Signifies Strength
or Trustworthiness.

A wealth Of significance is stored up
in the word "Amen."
Amen was one of the oldest deities
of the Ancient Egyptians, and one of
their chief gods. His emblem was
a man wearing red crown, surmount-
ed by the disk of the sun, in token
Of his dominion over both the earth
and the heavens.
His name meant hidden" or ''con-
cealed," while one of his titles was
"Amen-ka-mut-f." the husband Of his
mother, thus signifying that the de-
ity in question was at the time the
Oldest and the youngest Of created
beings.
In the Hebrew language amen
signifies strength or trustworthiness-
the God OF Truth" referred to in
Isaiah being literally the God of
Amen" In using the word at the end
of our creeds and prayers, therefore,
we not only exclaim $50 be it,
which Is the generally accepted mean
ing of the term-but affirm the truth
of what has been recited.

"MousepoWer."

1--WE have horsepower, water power,
candlepower; so why not mousepow-
err? reasoned thrifty Scot. and
straishtway put his mice to work.
He selected two promising young mice
and set them up in business in minia-
ture tread mill, where they were to
earn their board and keep by the
manufacture of sewing silk. For more
than a year the mice kept their little
factory going on day and night shift.
The ingenious thread mill was so con-
structed that each mouse was enabled
to twist, Irvine and reel on an average
of from 100 to 200 threads day.
Women doing the same work were
paid penny hank, consequently
each mouse netted a saving OF six
shillings per annum for the owner OF
the tiny threadmill.

Animals Blush.

Poets have for ages regarded the
blush as thing of beauty in the
gentle sex; but, after all, it is only
a rush of blood to the face, caused by
modesty or some other emotion. An
imals blush, too. we are tOlG, but
through fear. Horses blush in their
ears, especially the left one. When
a horse is frightened his left ear viii,

This is also the case with rabbits.
Cows and similar animals blush just
above the hoof while the dog uses his
tail for this purpose. When a dog is
frightened his tail hangs limp, as he
has lost all control over-it. Even in
sccts are said to blush. They do it
in their antennae, or feelers.
