Only White Houses Built.

The Bermudas are land Of white
houses. No other color is to be seen.
They are all built of the native white
stone of coral formation. which under
lies every foot of soil. When first
quarried the stone is so soft that 1t
may be cut with a knife, but it hard
ems with exposure to the air. When
Bermudan wishes to build himself
a house, all he has to do is TO buy him
self piece of land and scrape off a
foot or two of soil to reach his quarry.
BY means of saw the stone is cut
into pieces Of the proper size. Thin
fiat slabs Of the same material form
the roof. The houses, even including
the roofs, are frequently whitewashed
on the outside, and contrast strongly
with the deep green verdure by which
they are surrounded. There are no
shanties, as there are in the rest Of
the world.

May We not say, moreover, while 50

rather as revolutionary men, that
nevertheless every great man, every

work in revolutions. He seems an
anarchist, and indeed a painful ele-
ment Of anarchy does encounter him

is here to make what was disorderly,
chaotic, into thing ruled, regular. He
Is the missionary Of order, Is not all
work Of man in this world a making
Of order? The carpenter finds rough

SUPERSTITION IN BACK SEAT
Man Forgot All Dreambook Lore

A friend of mine is one of the most

books as any man In the country, and
he is an authority on all things that
pertain to superstition, says writer

just what the action of black cat

four-leaf clover, under certain cOndi-
tons, signifies; just how and when
horoscope should be cast. But the
other night he came a cropper. After
hard days work he had tumbled into
bed, only to have his rest disturbed
by a most distressing nightmare, the
salient feature of which was the pic
ture Of his handsome suit Of black and
gray hair having departed, leaving him
nearly as bald as the front-row
patrons Of the old-time burlesque
shows. Did he get up in the morn
ing and consult one OF the dream
books that occupy prominent place
in his library? He did not. He hur-
riedly dressed, bolted his breakfast
and dashed around to the corner drug
store and bought three bottles Of hair

A Scarcity Of Pins.

For time during the reign Of
Henry VIII all the pin factories Of
England were closed down. Com
plants had been made Of the inferior
quality of the pins supplied to the
public, and in consequence parliament
enacted that none should be sold ''un-
less they be double-headed soudered
taste to the shunke Of the pynne, ETC."
The result was that the public could
obtain no pins until the act was re-
pealed three years later. The act of
repeal, having recited the former act,
puthetically admits that the attempt
to control the pin industry had proved
a failure. For as much since the
making Of the said act there hath
been scarcitee Of pynnes within this
realme, and the kygne's iiege people

WITH ODD POWERS
Many Strange Beliefs Have Been Cred
tied to Particular Species of
Growing Things.
Some plants and flowers are SUP

Some plants and flowers are sup
posed to possess strange powers.
One of these is the mandragora, a
species of the nightshade tribe, which
is said to utter shrieks on being torn
from the ground and to revenge itself
by killing the person who picked it.
The Romans, who attached great value
to the plant, never gathered it without
performing a weird ceremony.
Our ancestors considered all plants
growing on wild heaths and in lonely
churchyards and old ruins to possess
evil powers. The moonwort was sup
posed to be able to open locks and
unshoe horses, while vervain, which
was under the protection of the god
dess Venus, was sure protection
snakes. This plant was used to dec
crate the affairs Of the ancient Persians
and the druids.
St Johns wort was able, it was said,
to put to flight ghosts, demons, and
even Satan himself. MiStletoe was
called the "all-heal" plant and was
used by doctors to cure any disease.
Other charms against evil spirits We're

esty," which is found in many coun-
try gardens to this day. The latter,

Mirage Of the North.

Similar in origin to the mirage Of
the desert are the mock suns Of the
Arctic circle. As the long winter
night Of the polar region wanes, once
every "a hours a light glow is seen
at some point on the horizon. Often
accompanying this glow is seen the
phenomenon Of the mock suns. Up IN
the heavens as many as FIVE Of these
spectral orbs have been seen at once.
Invariably they are all connected In q
geometric figure, the suns seemingly
being bound together with circles and
arcs of light. Often when only one
appears 1t is mistaken for the real
sum- and natives rejoice at the early
end Of the long winter night only to
be disappointed as the image disap-
pears. The explanation of the phe-
nomenon is given by physicists as re-
fraction and reflection Of light from
the real sun below the horizon on the
mists in the upper atmosphere.

PRESIDENT URGES
GREATER ECONOMY
Balance on Right Side Of Ledger
Possible, He Says in Message
To Budget Officials.

Washington, D. ca possibility
that the federal government may COM
pletely avoid a deficit during the
present fiscal year, and start the new
year on July /, with a balance on
the right side of the ledger" was sug-
gested by President Harding in a
message read at a conference OF Off
Gals of the budget bureau and OF
other governmental agencies which
hold the reins of public expenditures.
The figures for the fiscal year up
TO January Is, as announced in the
presidents message, showed estimat.
ed expenditures of s~3,574,554, 1872, as
against estimated receipts of $3,4S1,-
9O4, 1859.
The presidents message was read
to the conference by Vice President
Coolidge, Mr.. Harding himself having
cancelled on the advice OF his ply
stefan an engagement to address the
meeting. The appeal for renewed
pledges OF economy was supplemented
by Brig. Gen. Lord, director Of the
budget. in an address asking officials
to fix it il their minds that ~. s."
stands for United States and not
for us
In discussing receipts for the year,
Gen. Lord said that instead Of ordin-
nary income Of $3,073, S25,311, which
was in sight last July l, his figures
indicated that receipts for the ur-
rent fiscal year would be many mill
ions greater. He traced the increase
to extraordinary efforts by the treas
ury in developing the efficiency Of the
collecting agencies of the govern
ment. and to greater income customs
under the new tariff law and from
other sources.
While expressing satisfaction at the
accomplishments Of his subordinates
in the direction in saving govern
ment funds and declaring that most
! of the means Of curtailment had been
exhausted, President Harding suggest
ed that potential reductions remain,
which, if taken advantage of, will
bring realization OF a balanced bud
get. He said the executive depart
ments had not only accomplished a
great savings without impairing their
effective operations, but, on the con.
trary, had shown an actual increase
in efficiency.
