LUCY AND TIE IMP

ONCE there was a little girl named
~ Lucy who was never ready TO go
to bed when bedtime came around.
She fretted and pouted and grew so
disagreeable that one night her moth
err told her she could go to bed when
she liked but she was certain she
you'd wish she had gone at the right
time.
Lucy was sitting on a rug in front
of the fireplace, so she curled up with
her book and began to read, quite sure
she would not be sorry she did not go
to bed early.
The freight danced on the book
she was looking at and Lucy thought
once she could almost see some little
fire-imps dancing in the swapping
wood fire.
Her eyes seemed to feel queer but
she rubbed them she was not a bit
sleepy. she was sure of that 1t must
be the warm fire that made them feel
so queer.
The house seemed very still and
then suddenly from right out of the

SOUTH CAROLINA HOLLY TEA
Southern American Indians Knew
Secret Centuries Ago and Told
the Pale Face

In South Carolina they are max
ing fea by the ton and putting il
on the market. 1t is black tea and
green tea and mixed tea, but it is
not made out of the tea plant of the
Orient at all, says the Detroit
News. They make this South Car
DINA tea out of holly-Ameriean
holly.
Long ago the American Indian
gave South Carolinians the secret
OF this brew, for the Indians made
tea out of holly long before the FIRST
white man came to South Carolina.
One hundred years before Chinese
tea was introduced into England
the Huguenots found the Yemassee
Indians drinking tea. Their tea
was made from plant of the holly
family.
The tea making was not peculiar
to the Yemassee tribe. 1t was a
custom well known among the
southern Indians Chemists report
that infusions of the holly contain
the cafein which is the refreshing
ingredient of tea without the
tannin.

Lucy did not wish to 90 with this
queer little creature, but she did not
seem to have anything to do with it.

feathery-tipped fingers and away she

imp who had brought her. and then
on the floor around the Grandmother
Impis chair Lucy saw number of
children asleep.
The door closed with a click and
Lucy saw that the little imp had gone.

OSTRICH AND ITS EGGS

The ostrich hen in captivity lays
from Is to IS eggs year. The eggs
weigh three and one-half to four
pounds and are from four to five
and one-half inches in diameter,
many Of them being about the size
Of small bowling balls. It takes the
ostrich egg AZ days to hatch and
during this period the male and fe-
male birds take turns sitting on the
nest under natural conditions. The
male bird has black plumage and
guards the eggs at night, while the
female, whose feathers are gray like
the sands Of the desert, takes care OF
the nest during the day.

LET US LIVE UP TO OUR NOSES
Influence of Proboscis on Personality
and Character is Said to Be
Strong.

Have you sufficiently considered
the Importance Of having a nose
not mere dab Of a nose, but nose
that leads to greatness?
Chins have long been recognized
as necessary. The Haig and other
famous chins have attracted world
wide attention, but, in the opinion
of S. B. Depree, M. R. G. S., it is
nose that counts, says London Tit
Bits. He insists that the influence
of noses on personality and char
acter is great.
cit cannot be coincidence, z
writes Mr.. Depree, in the Medical
Press, chat numerous great women
and men in history have been
characterized by beautiful and we'll
formed noses.
''The great duke of Wellington,
whose own nasal organ is quite
famous, is reported to have ex-
claimed, Give me man with a
nose!' while a lady of my ac-
quaintance who has attained some
nasal fame assures me thatsthe iron
duke chose his soldiers for their
noses"
Noses, it seems, may lead to grief
and disappointment if they are not
of the right type.
Stew of US, alas p writes Mr..
Depree, care cognizant of all the
nasal tragedies, some purely patho-
logical, others Of an intensely ro-
mantle nature, which surround us
on every side.

OIL FOR CARVED WOOD

People who possess valuable carv-
ings are sometimes at loss to
know what is the best treatment of
them. According to an expert the
best finish for carving, especially if
of value, is to oil it with raw lin
seed oil to which one-eighth part Of
American turpentine has been
added, and brush occasionally with
soft brush. If dark tone of oak
is required, fume with ammonia
placed in saucer in an alright
chamber previous to oiling. If al
ready polished use aniline stains in
methylated spirit, applied with a
camels-hair mop brush.

ANCIENT TREES OF ENGLAND
Two Yews, Still Flourishing, Have
Record Of 1000 and 600 Years
Respectively.

The Major oak in Sherwood for
est, which seems to be showing signs
Of decay, is a magnificent tree
writes a correspondent), but why
call it the Oldest tree in England?
1t may be our Oldest oak, though
that distinction has been claimed
for other trees, such as the Kings
oak, at Tilford, near Farnham; the
Crouch oak, at Addlestone; the Ma
jestic oak, in Fredville park, near
Dover, and Cowper's oak, in Yard
ley Chase. But none Of these is like
ly to be SO. old as the huge chestnut
tree at Tortworth, in Gloucester
shire, known SO early as Stephens
reign as "the great chestnut Of Tort
WORTH
The yew, however, is by far our
longest lived tree. AT Aldsworth, in
Berkshire, is a yew more than a
thousand years old, and still -four
ishing. Twenty-seTen feet round
today, it measured just the same
in 1850, when note was made Of
its girth. The Bucklebury yew, also
in Berkshire, is Of just the same
size. A yew at Fountains abbey is
said to have been there when the
abbey was built. If it was an old
tree then-in or about 1132-we
may conclude that it is at least 900
years old. There is no record of any
oak--when it has been cut down
and its annual growth rings have
been proving to be 500
years old. Manchester Guardian.

Resignation the Keynote of Most Of
Their utterances When
Passing Away.

Most of the presidents whose last
words have been PRESCRIBED were
aware that the end was approach
ing. A short time before death
President Mckinley chanted the
hymn, Nearer, My God, to Thee .
His last audible words we're
"Good-by, all; good-by 1t is Gods
will. His will be done"
Resignation also marks the last
words of George Washington,
Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson
and Zachary Taylor. Washington
said: at is well''; Adams, "rhis
is the last of earth, l am content !;
Jackson, "Now, Lord, lettest Thy
servant depart in peace; Taylor,
Il have endeayored to do my duty,
and am ready to die.'
Only three of the presidents in
their last moments thought of mat
tiers of state, says the Detroit News.
William Henry Harrison, but one
month president, thought of his
official duties with his last breath.
His last words were ~The prin-
ciples of the government, | wish
them carried out. | ask nothing
more" John Adams, who had been
ex-president for twenty-five years,
thought of his old political OPP
ponent, Thomas Jefferson, who he
knew also was at the point of death,
and his last words were: '9Thomas
Jefferson still survives Adams
and Jefferson died the same day,
July 4, 1926, exactly fifty years
after the adoption of the Declara-
ton of Independence. Jefferson's
mind turned to that great occasion
and his last words were: @This is
the Fourth of July"
The late President Harding's
last words, spoken to Mrs. Harding
who was reading to him, were:
THAT'S good. Go on, read some
more"

prided himself on his decided views,
especially on bringing up the young.

no matter how obstreperous, chill

GIRARD'S CURIOSITY AROUSED
Exponent of Thrift Wanted to See if
Men Would Do Useless Work
for Pay.

Stephen Girard once told story
on himself which is still being used
in all sorts of circles. The eminent
exponent of thrift and cunning de-
cided, in the long age, to deter
mine whether human beings would
accept wages for doing absolutely
useless things.
He hired a half-dozen men and
ordered them to carry large guam
tity of cobblestones from one side
of the street to the other, says the
Philadelphia Record. This COM
pleted, he ordered them to be taken
back to their original position. A
few murmurings accompanied an
acquiescence. When Mr.. Girard or
dered them to carry the stones
across the street second time the
men absolutely refused and walked
off, without asking for their pay
Mr.. Girard did not state whether
he paid the victims of his curiosity
or not. Most likely not.
However, in the northern section
of the city on recent rubbish day
a group Of children might have
been seen emptying the contents of
basket onto the pavement and
then reflling it. They did this at
least twice. Do we grow wiser or
more foolish as our years increase?
