WORDS OLD AS HUMAN RACE
Sounds indicative Of What They De.
scribe Were Probably the First
Forms Of speech.

When your baby nrst begins to talk,
II uses instlnctively the Oldest words
In creation. words as old as the hui
man race itself.
They are words whose sound Is an
imitation Of what they describe. A
chair falls over In the nursery.
"Bangi" says baby, just as her great
est gfeat-grandmother said when her
father dropped his club In the cave
that was their home.
Baby calls the COW a moo" because
that is the noise II makes. To print
tive man the COW seemed to say 'koo"
"a name that has stuck.
What finer imitation Of the crows
croak could you have than the Greek
word 'koraxf" Crow (really corow)
is derived from the same idea. Hun
dreds OF anImals-birds, In particular
retain their ancestral names. The
cuckoo has always been 80 called
he named himself.
A whole host Of other words de-
scribe noises--crash. slam, thump,
whack, splash, boom, prattle, and 30
on. One Of the most beautiful OF
these is murmur, which means the
sound made by a gentle breeze among
the trees-mur-mur-mur.-Exchange.

The Eleusinian Mysteries were an.
nual secret religious ceremonies which
were instituted in Athens more thar
1000 years before Christ. 1t Is un
known who was responsible for their
institution, but 1t is generally believed
that they were in honor Of Demeter
the goddess Of the harvest, and that
their effect was an exceedingly good
one. Great secrecy was observed
death being the penalty imposed or
anyone who revealed the nature OF
the rites.
They were afterward brought to
Rome where they endured for about
Is centuries, and were abolished by
TheOdosius in $50 A. D. Cicero has
declared in his writings that the
Mysteries tended to promote civiliza-
ton. Their laws were to honor par
ents, to honor the gods with the fruits
Of the earth, and not to treat dumb
animals with cruelty.

The position OF chief OF an Indian
tribe in the days when the red man
rOamed the western prairies was a
precarious one at the best, according
to the account of Francis Parkman,
Jr., in his 1.-THE California and Ore
gon Trail"
The chief dared not assume any
Of the outward aspects Of rank, for
fear of mourning the dlspleasure OF
his braves. Many a man in the VII
lage lived better, owned more SQuaws
and horses, and went better clad than
did the Chief. He must needs ingrati-
ate himself with his young men by
making them many presents, often
to his own Impeachment.
The happiest chief was he who was
at the head of large family. With
a group Of relatives to avenge him In
event Of his murder, his position took
on some semblance Of security. One
Of the most powerful Dakotah chiefs
was secure in his position by his fam
lily of 80 stalwart sons.

EIahtinu Giraffe.

The giraffe has neither claws mol
sharp teeth with which to defend it
self or to attack its enemies, so when
1t is out Of temper with one Of 1t:
own kind 1t does not attempt to dis
embowel its adversary, as rhinocer
Os might, or tear 1t, as tiger would
But nature has given 1t long and
pliable neck. which terminates In 8
very solid head. and It uses the upper
part of itself like a fail. swinging It's
neck round and round and bringing Its
head down at each swing with q
thump on its antagonist.
The other combatant uses precisely
the same tactics, and the two animals,
planting themselves as firmly as pos
sible by stretching out all four legs
to the utmost, stand opposite to each
other and hammer away with their
heads until one or the other has had
enough.

PECULIAR FORM OF SEA FOOD
Ghianchetti, Offspring of the sardine
Greatly ReIished Along Parts OF
the italian Coast.

The Italians along the italian Ri
viera are passionately attached to q
form Of sea food known as CHAN
chetti. Ghianchetti, Kenneth L. Rob
erts explains In the Saturday Evening
Post, are the offspring of the sardine.
They are about one inch In length, and
their bodies are about as robust and
shapely as an ordinary piece of
string. They are transparent and
their eyes are black and disslpated
looking; and when the Italians pile
them in baskets and trays they have
the appearance OF lemon jelly full Of
flyspecks-the flyspecks being the
eyes. The approved method of pre-
pairing ghianchetti is to roll them into
a ball or a fritter, fry them in olive
oil and eat until either the CHAN
chetti or the eater is exhausted.
Every good Italian, however, finds it
hard to resist them In their raw state.
A fisherwoman walking along with a
tray Of ghianchetti on her head usual
ly keeps reaching up in an absent
minded manner, removing half a hand
full Of the little fish from the tray, and
tossing them abstractedly into her
mouth, a dozen or two at time. When
the ghianchetti season is at it's height,
In February, no two ghianchetti fish
ermen can get into On argument with
each other without spraying each
other with ghianchetti fragments
whenever they begin to shrek with
emotion.

One OF the secrets of happy life
lies in the forgetting OF the slight
errors in manners, gossip and scan
dals you see and hear. Do your
best to straighten out the puzzles
and wrongs you meet with and then
forget them. Forget all worries,
humiliations and cares, great and
small. All these things wear out
heart and brain. Let your mind
and soul be filled with the goodness.
Justice and beauty that are in the
world and that are the hope OF
heaven. Add lastly, do all you can
