manded prowess in his worshipers,
and the way to appease his wrath was
to sail close under the clin and
launch arrows into It. Shots falling

The name "emigres" Is given to
those persons who left France at the
time Of the revolution. The royal
princes ned In 1850, In consequence
Of the fall Of the Bastille, and were
followed, after the adoption Of the
constitution Of 1901. by all those who
felt aggrieved by the extinction OF
their privileges. The greater number
Of these refugees returned In 1902,
after the peace OF Amiens, owing to

ever, remained abroad until after the
fall Of Napoleon. According to the
charter Of 1914, the emigres were I'M

Change Rooms "Scenery"

Nothing Is so refreshing in room
as to change its scenery. The pic.
lures are it's scenery. and change Of
pictures on the walls does more than
anything else to give fresh interest to
the room. These pictures, which ar9
magic windows in the home, may in
their varying aspects give Us new fields
for the Imagination, and isn't 1t always
pleasant to wander In new fields and
to receive new inspiration that comes
with this? So let US follow the Gus
tom OF the Japanese, that nation Of
artists. and change the pictures that
hang on our walls from time to time.

that recalls the name of Washington,

surpasses race and blood in the
communion of common spirit, and
as they pause and contemplate that
communion, may they not fail to say
in their hearts, "Of such is the
greatness of America."-President
