Dizziness in Silk Trade
Threatens Shut Down

ShimoSuwa, Japan, Dec. 24.--Many
of the silk factories in the Lake Suwa
region, where the finest grades of silk
are manufactured, are threatening TO
close down before the end of the year

If this threat should be carried out it
would affect not only the 10000 wo-

way or'another in the industry.

WORDS CHANGED IN MEANING Eplthets Once Complimentary Have Degenerated Into Insults, With
 the Passing Centuries.

Words, like other things, change with time, and there are epithets once complimentary which have de- generated into insults. If one of our Anglo-Saxon forefathers had been called silly idiot he would not have taken it amiss-quite the reverse, in fact, for in those days silly meant blessed or happy, and idiot meant nothing more than a private person. Nor would he have taken offense had. you referred to him ss a crafty swindler, for these are both words that have changed their meaning in the course of centuries. Crafty once implied not shiftiness but skill, whilst . swindler was 6 man who was good at driving a bargain. Other words which, though now uncompii. mentary, were once quite the reverse, are oficious, which formerly meant kind, and cOnceited, which meant full of ideas or originality. But the Saxon warrior would have devised . horrible death for you had you Ventured to call his wife a lady l This word has gone up in the scale, whilst the others have gone down. It really means a kneader of dough, or . bakehouse maid.

WELL, WAS HEf

Authors often receive curious let ters about their books. In a collec- tion of such letters published in ths New York Herald, one received by Ernest Poole i5 perhaps the most amusing It reads:
 q have read a book of yours and it has occurred to me that you might be my uncle, Ern Poole. Uncle Ern left home about ten years ago. He said he meant to write for a living, but we have never heard of him since till l read your book. Now if you are my Uncle Ern want to tell you what think of the way you left my poer widow mother and have not even written her since-Dear sir-h you are not Uncle Ern please pardon this presumptuous letter but if you are, you're a coward and sneak and 6 quittsr for running away like that. If you are not, please excuse this."

CALL FOR ARTHUR

On Baltimore streets recently there has appeared an unusual jux- taposition of worldly things and things of the spirit. It is a large limousine, luxurious in appointment and up-to-date of line. On the dark enamel of one door appears this in- scription, in Old English gold let. tering about an inch and a half in height:
 "For what shall it profit man fl he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall man give in exchange for bis soul ! St. Mark 8 8:36-37."
 On the other door IS:
 HFor God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life St, John 3:16.=Baltimore Sun.

ODD WAY TO MAIL MONEY

A $5 bill was received at the Bath (Maine) post office, which waI mailed in Boston as ordinary mail with no covering whatever. The ad. dress, that of youthful member of Baths foreign colony, was written on one side of a piece of paper at- tsched to the bill by means of post age stamp and a message was on the reverse side. The bill, however, did not make the entire journey exposed to the gaze of the postal clerks. Some one in the Boston office slipped fl into an official envelope, addressed to Postmaster Owen in Bath, re- questing him to advise the recipient as we'll as the sender of the money as to the proper methods for send. ing cash by mail.

When will St. Johns People Learn

 Backache is only a simple thing at first;
 But if you find 'tis from the kidneys;
 That serious kidney troubles may follow;
 That dropsy or Bright's disease may be the fatal end.
 You will be glad to know the following experience.

CHOSE SERPENT AS SYMBOL Early Physicians, Supposed to Be DE Vlnely Directed, Evidently Had
 Not Put Away FetishIsm.

In ancient Greece there were many legends about the gods curing patients, and the physicians were supposed to be divinely directed as to treatment, says the Detroit News. Fetishism and symbolism prevailed. and serpent was chosen as a symbol of life and health. The Egyptians also used this symbol, and the He brews, on the occasion when Moses held up the serpent in the wilder. ness. In the recent war this symbol was used to represent medicine in the army.
 After the teachings of Christ had spread over the world the old gods were replaced by Christian saints The Virgin and the martyrs were in. Voked to cure disease. Some orders of monks praeticed pharmacy and medicine until q decree was issued by the church fOrbidding them to use knives. This left the surgery to the barbers, hence the origin of the red and white barber pole-the white for bandages and red for blood.

Father and Son.

Be more than his dad, Be a chum to the lad; Be a part of his life
 Every hour of the day; Find time to talk with him. Find time to walk with him; Share in his studies
 And share in his play. Take him to places. To ball games and races; Teach him the things
 That you want him to know; Don't live apart from him; Be his best comarde,
 He's needing you so! Never neglect him, Though young, still respect him; Hear his opinions
 With patience and pride; Snow him his error, But be not a terror, Grim visaged and fearful,
 When he's at your side. Know what his thoughts are. Know what his sports are. Know all his playmates.
 It's easy to learn to Be such a father That when troubles gather You'll be the first one
 For counsel he'll turn to.
 You can inspire him With courage and fire him Hot with ambition
 For deeds that are good; He'll not betray you, Nor lilly repay you If you have taught him
 The things that you should. Father and son m Must in all things be one Partners in trouble
 And comrades in joy. More than a dad Was the best pal you had; Be such a chum
 As you knew to your boy.
