Bark .. /. Delicacy

In early times the Indians OF
New England were known to eat
the tender bark of various trees
when their winter supplies had been
exhausted. In the western states
the Indians relished the sweet inner
bark of poplar trees, while that of
sugar pines and other pine trees
was similarly popular among those
living farther west. Along the Pa
cific coast it was custom to eat
dried hemlock bark soaked In salm-
on oil.
The use of. hemlock. oak. and
birch bark in the tanning of leather
is a common present-day practice.
Perhaps the hest known bark prod
net Is cork. which is the spongy
bark Of an oak tree growing on
Mediterranean shores.

The ancient city OF I.ubiin. Pc.

flourishing. wealthy municipality
seeking to keep abreast of its
times. In order to supply its peo-
pie with needed conveniences, con-
tracts were entered into with its
master-men calling for the laying
Of water pipes.
These ancient pipes were made
of logs and the water was forced
through them by the use Of force

written in Latin in 1906. there is
a contract between the city au-
thorities and one Jan Rurmistrz,
calling for the construction of the
pipes and their laying.
That such methods were used.
American engineers discovered
when putting into operation the
first modern waterworks. Some of
the pipes were uncovered, ancient
tunnels were cut across.
Some of these tunnels were once
used as secret means of escape dur
ing the numerous wars and rebel
lions. Even treasure was I'M

The Library

The decorative needs of the IL
brary are different from those OF
other rooms. 1t is not a gay little
room in which festive colors may
run riot. This would seem a sacri-
lege to its precious store of books.
It is better to have dignified and
conservative furnishings in the IL
brary.
It may be but little room, scar
cely more than a den, to which one
may slip away and enjoy quiet and
his favorite author. But it should
be restful in design, with colors
which do not distract. Walnut or
dark oak are more appropriate
than the painted furniture Of 9TH
er rooms and show up to best adj
vantage and varicolored bindings
of the books. Plain lines are better
than fanciness. The wall paper
should be neutral in tone, the
draperies may hang straight and
there need be no glass curtains to
exclude the light. Lamp shades
should be simple and conservative
parchment shades are better
than frilly silk.
In the library should be the
books in shelves, desk, leather
covered sofa, an easy chair,or two
reading lamp beside each chair,
with little end tables near at hand
for dish of flowers, magazine
and the book you are reading.

Peacock Throne Marvel
Of Oriental MagniGcence

The marble and gold p:llace OF
Delhi, in India mecca of many
tourist parties. lost its wonderful
Peacock Throne" many lars ago,
but the legend OF its grandeur sur
wives and is accepted as indicative
of the splendor of the rajahs. much
of which survives to dazzle the Wis
itor from foreign lands.
The peacock throne was SO
called from its having the figures
of two peacocks of solid gold stand
ing behind it, their tails expanded,
and the whole so inlaid with sap
phires, rubies, emeralds, pearls and
other precious stones of appropri-
ate colors as to represent life.
The throne itself was six feet
long and four feet wide; it stood on
six massive feet which. with the
body, were of solid gold inlaid with
rubies, emeralds and diamonds. 1t
was surmounted by canopy OF
gold supported by IL pillars all rich
" emblazoned with costly gems, and
fringe of pearls ornamented the
borders. Between the two pea
cocks stood the figure of a parrot,
said to have been carved out Of q
single emerald.
The throne was taken away by
Nadir Shah to Persia as loot, and
{.
was last heard of in Teheran. where
presumably most of it was melted
down. It's estimated value was
f6,5OO,OOO. that is, S24,050.00

Budget Your Christmas
coe~aiGrrEo

And why so many? There are
people whom we remember largely
because we always have" or they
twill give US something, so we
have to-" or they expect it, and
we do not have the nerve to break
the tradition. Courage is really de-
manded at Christmas time to make
oneself act wisely rather than ha-
bitutally or emotionally.
There are two stunts which
help US in the choice of our
Christmas gifts; one is the early
beginning, when we have time to
work out our plans economically;
and the other is careful thought
fitness for what the recipient
needs and would rather like TO
have, that we may not waste an
opportunity to make him really
happy, loading him up with "a
white elephant" instead.
Practical gifts will be especial
~ appreciated this year, when
most of us have dehydrated our
formerly sswatered stock" of
wants. We arenow inclined to be
thrifty and appreciative, and the
things we use will be to us more
acceptable than Injuries.
Then above all, is the thought
we should not fail to remember
to wit:
saThe gift without the giver is
bare"
It is the love back of the gift
which makes it worth while and
he who Graves moneys worth of
things from us, at Yuetide, for
their own value and not from
love of US, is not worthy our gem
crosby. OF course, the children are
possible exceptions the little "a
pacious wolves for toys and other
things! But they can be forgiven
since childhood comes only once.
