ALWAYS A FRIGHT SIDE

I used to think the Devil dwelt in

nj men. l used TO picture out the

and almost fancied l could hear his
searching victims screams. :. There
fore, lived decent life, and always
toted fair; think I've done enough
of good, to keep lie out of there. 49,.
But still, in spite of all I've done,
and all I've said and wrote,-in spite
of others heavy loads, that l have
had to tote,-l sometimes can't evade
the thought, how easy tits, to slip,
and scoot into the DEVILS joint, and
terminate my trip IF that should
be my mournful end, I'd try TO grin
and bear it,-but | know few old
stIngarees who will be on hand to
share it......

Changes in the Plelades.

The question presents itcelf whether
three stars of the constellation of the
Pleiades have less brilliancy than for
merly, or whether prehistoric man had
better sight than ours, or If he was
wont to climb up the. mountains to
examine the 'nearest stars, or If the
atmosphere of past ages was purer
than ours? This problem arises from
the fact that we see from below only
seven of the stars Of the PIeiades and
that the last three stars can only be
seen by ascending to the highest sum-
mits, while there have just been dis
covered stones dating from prehistoric
times upon which the ten stars are
engraved. This interesting question
in astronomy and archaeology has been
broached to the French Academy of
Sciences by NJ. Bigourdan.

Weaving and Spinning.

1t is likely that the art of weaving,
in its most elementary FORM was prac-
ticed long befsre men abandoned the
use of animal skins for clothing, or
perhaps even before they adopted
clothing at all. No doubt it began
with the first crude attempts of primi-
tive women to weave twlgs into some
kind of object.
After they had succeeded in making
baskets and similar articles 1t prob
ably occurred to some bright cave
woman that clothing might be. made
by weaving some soft material like
wool, says writer, according to the
Detroit News. To do this 1t would be
necessary to twist tufts of wool into
long strands. Thus the beginning Of
spinning. And as the strands of wool
were not stiff like twigs, 1t would be
necessary to have certain number
of them taut between poles or some
thing In order 10 weave the fabric.
Thus the first loom.
