Bonnie and his right hand was strok-

"And 1 am Also" said the girl.
$50 am l." said Billie, (which makes
four of us happy"
And now for our adventures Our
friend, knight of the Mist, is on his
way now. All, here he comes!"
And then the girl and the boy met
knight of the Mist. He was the great,
great, great, great, great grandson, Bill
lie Brownie explained, Of the greatest
old knight of olden days, who always
wore armor.
This Knight wore mist as his armor
for he was the brave knight of the air..
Il am ready" said knight Of the
Mist. II hope you are!"
Oh, yes, they were ready, so they
followed knight of the Mist. He
helped them into his very enormous
airship; it was simply huge and looked
like a car on a train.
After they had started they stopped
off for one of the cows and one Of the
hens from the farm and the girls pet
cat and the boys dog. Also rooster
was eager to go along, too. So they
made quite a party as you can
imagine.
Then they adventured up In the
clouds and about the clouds They paid
visit upon His Royal Highness, Sir
big city. They found him to be a
bumptious fellow with fine opinion
of himself and ambitions far greater
than he could realize, for he had never
really touched the sky with his great
est amount of reaching, but always he
went along in his rather tremendous
way-yet still not able to approach the
sky territory.
The cow tried to appear as though
used to all these modern conveniences
which she was now seeing but it was
not natural to her. She bemoaned
the day she had ever switched her
tail at flies, for flies weren't queer
like skyscrapers, and she could swish
her tail at flies. Skyscrapers didn't
notice her tail!
After they had adventured all eve
ming the knight brought them back
and they left their friends and Dream
land. But ever after it seemed to the
boy and the girl that the animals who
had gone adventuring had somewhat
lost their heads over all the travelling
for often they saw a certain look in
mild eyes of the COW, which showed
they were dreaming Of things above

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
B, H. IRVING KING
AMBER

OF THE many mystic qualities
~ which were formerly supposed to
pertain to amber its potency as
charm against rheumatism appears to
be about the only one which survives
in popular superstition. But belief
in this quality persists with remark
able vitality and is defended by per-
sons whom one would least suspect of
such credulity. Henry Ward Beecher
always carried about with him a
string of amber beads to cure or to
ward off his rheumatic attacks; and
amber set as jewelry Is still sold in
London for the cure Of this malady.
Only a few years ago amber had a
much more prominent place in thera-
peutics. In 1865 Rev. G. w. King, in
his Natural History Of Precious
Stones" wrote: THAT the wearing of
an amber necklace will keep off an
attack Of erysipelas has been proved
by experiments beyond the possibility
of a doubt" Oil Of amber still has
place In the United States dispense
tory and perhaps there still exist some
old time doctors who use 1t incidentally.
The ancients, who attached mystic
qualities to all sorts Of precious and
semi-precious stones, were not likely
to neglect amber; that strange sub
stance born of the sea and Of the color
of yellow sunlight. The Romans used
to place in their mortuary urns pieces
of amber and jet, the jet symbolizing
the darkness of death and the amber
the light of Immortality. Possibly the
black stone was an offering to Pluto
and the yellow substance an offering
to the sun-god. In the medicine of
the Middle ages, which was largely
folk-medicine, amber played an i'm
portant part, and, as has been said,
has continued to play medicinal role
down to our own times. The rever-
ance with which the ancients regarded
amber was increased by the discovery
of its electrical properties. Doctor
Kunz says: 1.-THE electric property of
amber was remarked as early as GOO
B. c. by the Ionic philosopher, Thales,
and from this observation may be
dated the study of electric phenomena"

THE BROWNIE BROTHERS

d lille BROWNIE and his brother
ID Bonnie were all ready for adyen-
lures. A boy and girl who had wan
dered into Dreamland that evening
had come to pay them a visit. And of
course Billie and his brother were
particularly anxious to entertain their
guests as best they could.
And they were as ready for adven-
lures as were their guests. They had
been busy of late and had not had
so much time for play and they were
quite ready to begin playing at once.
Now the boy and the girl had never
had many adventures. They had lived
rather lonely lives, though it is true
they had made a number of animal
friends.
Well" said the boy, as he saw
Billie Brownie and his brother, you
are fat pair, but oh, you do look so
jolly"

Brownie brothers replied, and as they

History of PopIin

Poplin came from Avignon, and the
reason for its name is not Immediately
apparent until we remember that, until
1871, Avignon was a papal town, and
therefore the silk manufactured there
was called by the Italians papalino,
and by the French papelin, so that
when it was introduced into England
in 1893 by the Huguenot refugees 1t
automatically became poplin.
Today, most poplins are of worsted
and flax or wool and cotton, and those
of Irish manufacture are deservedly
popular. Readers of Jane Austin will
recall the delightful confession in
Emma: II have some notion Of put
ting such a trimming as this to my

Combines Duty and Joy

Many things that once seemed es-
sential and indispensable have been
abandoned in our hurried times; but
there are few things that we can
