INDIANS REVERE MOUNT MlSTl
Volcano Located in the Peruvian
Andes Has Ancient Ruins
in Its Crater.

The Indians thereabouts worship the
mountain of Misti, in the Peruvian
Andes, with much reverence, regard
ing it as the source of the earth
quakes which have often in past days
laid the neighboring villages in ruins.
The superstitions regarding the
mountain date from ancient times,
says the Detroit News. The ruins of
ancient temples have been found with
in the crater of the volcano and near
the top there has been placed great
cross where, in 1877, a party of Span
prayed that it would not erupt again
and ruin the land.
Harry L. Foster, tropical tramp"
as he calls himself, says that on the
road that passes below the base of the
mountains there are lin 1922 two
heaps of stones about a half a mile
apart, and that the Indians who pass
that way religiously carry a stone
from one and place it on the other.
This is a custom so ancient that none
know its origin, the natives believing
that, by the performance of this rite,
they appease the mountain for their
insolence in approaching so near its
sacred person.
Since there are about as many
people passing one way as the other,
the piles of stones are kept approx
mately of equal size.-Detroit News.

DAUGHTER-lM-LhWS IN CHINA
Young Bride Must Obey Mother-in-
Law and See That Her Hue-
band Goes to School.

Duties of daughter-in-law form a
main chapter in the Chinese education
OF girls. These duties demand great
self-control and may be expressed in
two words: Obedience and self-nega-
ton. A young bride must submit her
self entirely to the commands of her
mother-in-law. She must also see
that her husband who may be only
sixteen, goes to school and studies at
home. She must share his poverty I'M
til he is able to earn, and be kind to
his sisters. If her husband takes an
other wife, she must receive her as a
sister, and love the children of the
newcomer as though they were her
own.
Fidelity in widowhOod is a sign of
high virtue and in cases of supreme
love woman even may sacrifice her
life to follow her husband.

Parents should not give their chill
dren long names. If a child is named
EpaphrOditus Bartholomew HOl-
combe-Smith, Jr., and if he survives
such an appellation, he will probably
lose what will amount to three years
of his lifa in writing his full name on
those frequent occasions when it be-
comes necessary. Furthermore, par
ents should give q daughter only one
name; then when she marries, she
can preserve the family name be-
tween her Christian and her hus-
bands last name. When I was boy,
I knew a girl named May Day. Such
q name closely approaches perfec-
ton; think Of the time saved in writ.
ing checks and on other occasions! 1t
Is also hard on a child to give it
name that few can either pronounce
or spell; the victim has to spend a
large slice of his life answering Gues-
tions and making explanations. A
name is an individuals only label
the only thing standing between him
and absolute oblivion. Children are
at the mercy of their parents in this
as in so many other ways.-Scribner's
Magazine.

PUPPET SHOW HELD IN JAVA
Vayang or Theater Embraces Ali
Arts of Island-Have No Paint
ing or Sculpture.

Farther back than recorded history
the puppet form of drama existed in
Java. The "vayang," or theater, of
the Javanese includes all other arts
as well; they have almost no paint
Ing or sculpture except the carving
end painting of their marionette pup
pets for the ancient temple-sculpture
of Java is of Hindu and not Javanese
origin. Javanese literature consists
mainly of the books from which the
subjects of the "vayang" plays are
taken.
Javapese music is the "gamelan,"
an orchestra of various instruments,
which accompanies "vayang" The
most ancient form of "vayang" is the
"vayang purva,' which in Java can
be traced back to the Seventh cen
fury, but probably is much older
The word "vayang" means "shad-
ow," but has come to include all sorts
of drama, as developed from the shad-
ow-play.-Detroit News.

WONDER IN PLANT KINGDOM
How the Yucca and the Little White
Moth Cooperate in Propa-
eating 1t.

Among the many devices which
plants have developed to obtain the
cooperation of insects in the propaga-
tion of their species, none is more In
tereSting than that of the Yucca, or
Adams needle. What may be termed
its marriage rites form an outstanding
wonder in the vegetable kingdom.
The yucca appears to be the only
plant which depends on a single spe-
cies of insect-a little white moth
for the purpose. The plant has not the
customary trap by which an insect, at
tracted by nectar, unavOidably be-
comes busted by pollen destined to fer
tillZe another plant. Instead, there is
a deliberate action on the part of the
moth so wonderful that, had It not
been confirmed by the patient observa-
ton of scientists, it might be regarded
as fairy story.
The duty devolves solely upon the
female moth which, in order to insure
a proper food supply for her future
larvae, acts as sort of foster-mOther
to the yucca, the male moth being only
concerned in the perpetuation of his
own race.
Climbing up one of the plants sta
mems, she scrapes from the anther at
the tip supply Of pollen and, rolling
it into pellet, carries it off to another
flower. In the latter her first busi-
ness is to lay an egg within the pistil,
after which she runs up to the tip and
thrusts into its funnel-like interior
some Of the pollen, ramming it down
with her head to make sure that fer
tilization will ensue.
Every time she lays an egg she per-
forms this ceremony. 1t is so cleverly
effected that man himself cannot equal
it, artificial attempts to cross-fertilize
yuccas rarely, if ever, proving success
full.

Sex EquaIitY.

When Mrs. Fletcher of the British
suffrage party was in the United
States a few months ago, she re-
marked TO a friend, mot only do they
have equality of sex, but 1 am in
clined to think that the inferiority Of
the man has also been established,
which is as it should be. 1 am sure
the day is not far distant when mere
man won't count for thing.
"Why, even the children realize
this she insisted, adding Il was a
house-party guest and they gave a
little dinner in my honor. The small
boy Of the house knew most of the
guests, but one man he could not
seem to place. Finally he mustered
up his courage and approaching the
man asked:
"Who's woman's man are your"

Clod Dancer Arrasted.

All the worlds a stage for William
S. Brooks, and therefore he believed
that he had a right to buck and wing
where he pleased. He started at a
dance hall in Portland, Ore.
Get the hook !" his audience yelled.
He kept on dancing. 'Ill get q cop -
the manager muttered. The policeman
took Brooks to headquarters. He
clogged for the officers in the garage.
He clogged for the jailers. He clOgged
for the sleepy prisoners. He cloggeG
until morning. He was too tired to
clog in court, however. The acting
judge sent him to the county Jail for

Some Chef.

A bride of three months lives in q
fiat and has become very friendly with
her neighbors. She strolled into a
company of other women who have
their habitat in the same building, sat
down and said she was very tired.
Of course another woman asked what
she had been doing.
"Just prepared dinner for my be-
loved" she said, "and for one who
never cooked before it was some task"
"How did the beloved like it?' an
other neighbor asked
HE was proud of me-" replied the
bride, glowing through her weary
countenGnce.
"Review the MENU" came a chorus.
"All right" came back from the
bride: "Sliced tomatoes, boiled eggs,
canned corn, lettuce, chocolate, dried
beef and hot rolls from the bakery.

He Won the Cigars.

The biggest liar in the country was
strolling through on orchard with a
friend. Pointing to a tree covered
with hundreds of red apples the
friend remarked:
"Ill bet you a box of cigars you
can't tell me lie for every apple on
that tree.
"Just a moment" broke in the fab
ricator de luxe. Before we go, any
farther, 1 wish to inform you that
those are not apples. They are
bananas"
He won the cigars then and there.
