Plant Care

The only reason that house plants
should not be kept in sleeping room
is that the temperature of well-ventl-
lated room is lower than the tempera-
ture necessary for plants. The average
plant should have night temperature
of around 80 degrees and day tenn
perature of around 20 degrees.

The monument to Guy, De Maupas-
SAINT at Miromesnil, Norway, recalls
q story illustrating how easily uncon-
scious literary plagiarism may be COM
mitted. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once
told friend that, travelling In Swift
erland, he came upon an inn isolated
in the mountains for four months In
every year. BY the time he had
reached the plain below he had
mapped out in his mind a story In
which two enemies were to be shut
up In the inn for four months Of iso-
lation. At the first railway bookstall
he came to one Of De Maupassant's
books caught his eye. He bought 1t
and, turning to the first page, Tau
berge" appeared as the heading OF the
story. The "Auberge" was his iden-
teal Inn, the story was Of two enc
mics shut up there during the winter.

had imagined.

Derivation of Names
of Ports of Chufch

When you enter place Of worship,
you first pass through the porch, and
may then proceed to an aisle, or pos
sibly take a seat ip the nave. or near
the chancel.
Porch, aisle, chancel, and nave are
all queer words. Some have been
built up just anyhow; others are de-
rived from the Latin, and twisted
weirdly in the process.
"Porch," for instance, Is the word
child, just recognizable, Of the Latin
"porta," gate. Why "ch" pushed
"ta" out Of it, one cannot say.
"Aisle"-the schoolboy who called
this word wicked speller'' was quite
right lis what our Saxon forbears
made Of "ala," wing. An aisle, Of
course, Is wing Of church.
"Chancel" is really the Cancelled"
or shut-off part Of church, and Its
word-parent Is "cancelli," meaning
lattice work"
The connection-or the excuse for
the word "chancel"-lies in the fact
that carved screens, or lattice work,
generally divided the east end Of
church from the other parts.
"Nave" is from the Latin ''navis,"
ship. A church in religious sense
Is an ark. So-"'navew

Eskimo Theory of Death

The Eskimo theory Of death Is pc
culiar to Christian eyes, and has re-
suited In many tragedies. 1t was be-
lieved that man had two souls, one
good, one evil. When he died the good
soul expected to spend eternity In
bliss and comfort in warm place un-
derground. His-bad soul was sup
posed to remain on the spot where the
body died, lasting, harmful influence
over those who were luckless enough
to encounter it. When aperson be-
came Ill the medicine man was sent
for. Almost always he pronounced
the case hopeless. The invalid was
then taken out Of the igloo and placed
on the snow to perish. 1t was logi-
cal proceeding, for If he died indoors
the igioo would have to be abandoned
and sealed up forever.

First Use of Spectacles

Spectacles are Of French origin.
The proof ocular, which Is the kind
that ought to be acceptable on the
subject, lies in the fact that the Oldest

Saint Nicolas Of Trevise, OF which the

Collecting Debts in 16A

Old residents of England had their
own ideas of debt payment and their
own methods for enforcing payment
where the customer was not inter-
ested in meeting the obligation. One
old method in use In 1647 was a
debtors chair, that would be placed In
the office Of the man to whom the
debt was due. The debtor was In
vited to enter and, when seated In the
chair, a trigger was released that
clamped iron hoops about the knees
of the debtor and held him helpless
while the other man negotiated a set
Element, and the use Of the chair In
enforcing payment was entirely legal
and in general use.-Ohio State Jour-
