CuratiDe PoUer Long
Ascribed to FLOWERS

The forget-me-not was formerly
known as scorpion grass, because
the flower buds were thought to
resemble the coiled-up serpent, and
our forefathers, believing in the
doctrine Of signatures, supposed
this to indicate that they would
cure venomous stings. Vying with
the forget-me-not In it's sentimental
associations Is the lily Of the val
ley, which also blooms in May, and
Is indeed sometimes called the May
lily. In the old herbalist's heydey
1t seems also to have Wed with the
forget-me-net In curative proper
ties. In the world of legend, how
ever, the forget-me-not seems to
have a distinct advantage, for
whereas an angel scattered them
for us, the lily of the valley sprang
from the tears Of mere mortal,
Eve, as she left the Garden OF
Eden.-Chicago Journal.

RiUer Kept in Order
BY Chinese Engineer

In view Of the disastrous Missis-
sippi floods it is interesting to note
that 2,100 years ago Chinese engf-
neer, Liping. laid down the correct
engineering principle for control
ling the flood conditions of river
flowing through a fiat alluvial plain.
The works that he and his sons
established for controlling the wa
tiers of the Min river in Szechwan
province and distributing them
across the great Chengtu plain are
still in perfect operation. The
Chengtu plain is an area 100 miles
long and 60 miles wide. Across
this plain the Min river is distrib-
uted in eight main branches, con-
verging at the lower end Of the
plain to form a single river again,
which empties into the Yangtze
above the Gorges.
Throughout the 2,10O years, the
engineering principle laid down by
Li-ping, without which the whole
system would have destroyed itself
centuries ago, has been followed.
On the walls of the temple built
to the memory Of Li-ping and his
sons at Kuan-hsein, is written this
saying, familiar to every Chinese
student: "Shen tao tan tso yen,"
meaning dig the bed deep, keep
the banks ow."-Minneapolis Trib-
une.

SealDeed Harvest Of
Importance in Japan

Japanese soldiers do not give
much trouble to the quartermaster's
department. In the field they are
capable of great endurance on a
diet of dried rice, dried fish, dried
seaweed, and picked plums. The
seaweed Is wrapped round the rice
and used as "relish" to it. Given
a tiny fire, a stewpan, and the ra-
tions mentioned, they are perfectly
content, whatever the weather and
however long the marches.
Seaweed is grown especially for
food purposes, being cultivated with
as much care as any other crop.
After the typhoon season, the wom-
en- may be seen bearing great loads
of young trees which have been
stripped of their leaves, though all
the small branches are left intact.
These are drawn into the weed on
the shore, acres Of brushy saplings
being arranged in long, parallel
rows where the tide GIBBS over them
twice daily.
Gradually, the green fernlike
weed collects on the branches, and
fiourishes there until the farmers
harvest 1t. 1t Is then carefully
picked over and dried for future
use.

Colonial Home Built
to Defy Father Time

Sh ortly before the French revolu-
ton many noblemen left France
and came to Louisiana, where they
established fine homes, becoming
substantial, loyal citizens of the
South.
Among these was Marquis Ter
nant, who arrived about 1888 on
his estate in Pointe Coupee, one
of the earliest settlements on the
Mississippi river. Here he built
stately French colonial mansion and
presented it to his bride on their
wedding day.
1t was constructed throughout of
red cypress, cut from the swamps
on the place. The rafters and
heavy timbers were hewn to shape
and put together with wooden pegs.
The interior was finishd with hand
carved holdings and antique panel
work, which still preserve the char
acteristic grandeur of the Eight
eenth century.
The excellent condition of this
historic manor house today is a
tribute to the building wisdom Of
its founder in selecting native
cypress for all parts.

Black Phosphorus

Black phosphorus, hitherto sup
posed to be pure phosphorus turned
black as a result Of sudden cooling,
Is produced by the contact Of phos-
phorus with mercury on which 1t
can react at the moment when 1t
passes from the liquid to the solid
state. Molten phosphorus dis
solves mercury, giving a colorless
solution. When cooled the satu-
rated solution remains coforless In
all low temperatures, but IL the
phosphorus solidifies the solidiflca-
ton is very weak and the mercury
leaves the solidified phosphorus and
colors it black.
II black phosphorus Is melted,
the mercury is easily redissolved in
the surrounding phosphorus and
the whole body becomes colorless.
This is the correct explanation of
the phenomenon.

There is no peace in hymns Of

There may be profit In red gold, in

you know indeed your life is
wrecked, and all the schemes

nothing but dross. The good will

The Happiest People

have learned that the happiest
people in the world are those who
are happily mated and have large
families. Although they do not say,
as q rule, that they are happy, /
often see the envy in other peoples
eyes. They work hard. apparently
not knowing how disagreeable are
the tasks thrust upon them, and
without caring how much their Ia
bors make them tired. When the
evening comes they carry home the
profits of their toll and lay them
on the laps of the women who love
them. Perhaps, somewhere in the
next room, baby is crying. I
might find it disturbing. They think
1t the most beautiful music in the
world.-Hannen Swaffer, British
Dramatic Critic, in London Ex-

had become worn out.
Many farmers kept away from
tobacco, he said because of the
expense of erecting suitable shed
to cure the tobacco. A shed to
handle five acres would not cost
more than 5000. 1t would pay

leave the farmer more money than
he would receive from any other

Language of Diplomacy

The French language was used
exclusively in Europe in the
Twelfth and Thirteenth centuries.
The French literature was greatly
developed and spread throughout
the various countries, and persons
of culture studied the language in
order to be able to read the litera-
ture. Many foreign students were
attracted to the University of
Paris, and this also helped to
spread the language. AS language
for treaties and foreign intercourse
among nations, French became gen.
eral In the time of Louis XIV.

noticed that he didn't put his arm in

claw at that old log. He was trying to
tear it apart. But he soon found he
couldn't do this. That old log was not
old enough and decayed enough. Then
he tried to roll it over. He thought
there might be an opening on the under
side. He pulled and he hauled and he
hauled and he pulled. As I said before,
the log was a small one. Bobby found
that he could move it. 1t wasn't heavy.
Presently it suddenly rolled over, so
