Dead Buried in Urns

Macassar is the capital of Celebes,
a large, queerly-shaped island with
numerous great bays. The water
fall at Bantimoeroen IS the main
attraction there. A pagan ceme-
terry supplies the local interest for
the visitor. In ancient times the
natives used to bury their dead in
great covered urns, wherein the
corpse was placed in a sitting posi-
ton. The custom was for the be-
reaved to sit daily beside these
grave stones, which still remain.

COchineal Insects of One Sex

The Cochineal industry which sup
plies the coloring in rouges and lip
sticks is conferred mainly in the Ca
nary islands. The coloring is OBJ
tanned from the cochineal bug;
"Coccus cacti" to biologists, says
London Tit-Bits Magazine. 1t has
a reddish tinted, fat, wrinkly body,
tortoise shaped and about half the
size of grape. Cochineal insects
are all of one sex-mothers. In
spite Of the fact that they are all
identically alike, they reproduce
with great rapidly, fresh genera
tons arising within a few hours.
The dye obtained from these insects
brought great prosperity to the is
lands until chemists discovered ami
line dyes and brought the islands to
the verge Of bankruptcy. No dye
known to science is so safe when
used on the human skin as cochineal.

Trust in God, Keep Powder Dry

Trust in God, Keep Powder Dry
The saying, ''Trust in God and
keep your powder dry" is attributed
to Oliver Cromwell. It is supposed
to have originated during one of his
campaigns in Ireland in 1649 or 1850.
According to tradition, Cromwell
made an impassioned address to his
"Ironsides" when they were about
to attack the enemy who had taken
position on the opposite side of the
river. He concluded his speech with
the admonition: "Put your trust in
God, but mind to keep your powder
dry" This tradition is vouched for
by Edward Hayes in his Ballads
Of Ireland" which was published in
1855. The compiler comments on
the subject in a note under the bal
lad "Oliver's Advice" which was
written in 1884 by Colonel Blacker,
a British officer. Each stanza of
Blacker's ballad ends with the line
"Put your trust in God, my boys,
and keep your powder dry"

When the moon comes exactly be-
tween us and the sun, it shuts off
part or all of the sun from view.
This is an eclipse of the sun, which
is either partial or total. When the
earth comes exactly between the sun
and the moon, it shuts off the light
from the moon, and thus causes an
eclipse of the moon.

none. He went on:
II treated her badly. While
wouldn't admit that, 1 treated you
badly too, because you were her SON
She died. 1 couldn't bear for her son
to die, last bit of her in the world .
He paused. Then he said quietly:

weekend, we talked it over"
Cali right. 1 don't want to know"
But Keith could tell that his father
was relieved!
"It's odd, Father that you decided
to talk about this. I was just at the
point of having enough energy to
want to communicate with her. She
must be having very difficult time"
"No," said that old man. "Only
soft women have very difficult
time"
"Felicia's not quite as hard as she
pretended" Keith said.
"That's good. You should defend
her. Not many people will" There
were memories in his voice now that
Keith could only guess about. Did
he wish that little Mary Sheldie had
found more defenders in her last
hours?

"No, mean I'll send it if you want,
but 1 wish you'd stop and think first" I"
His manner of saying that was so
quiet, so undemanding, that Keith
could not be exasperated.
"What is there to think about, tho
Father? I can't be blamed for not

The seven words were statement.
Even so, Keith felt they demand

"Not as you once were in love with
her sister. I spoiled that for YOU"

ten to me now. But wish you
would"
"Of course I will" He was just
little impatient about it, though.
What was the use of long discussion? !?
His father said: II want you to stop
and think of the person in this sit

except with sort of amusement and
with curiosity. I want you to think
of her husband"
"Not much use now, is it?"
perhaps. Perhaps not. Because
was once the husband in a case
like this, his position seems impor-
tant to me. He has so small a chance.
I've been finding out, as much as I
could discreetly, Keith, about what's
happening to her and her husband.
His people are causing as much
trouble as possible, but Eustace Dayne
is saying nothing, calling on his wife
three times a day, behaving to his
friends as if his marriage were just
as permanent as before-as before
what happened. He seems to be in
love with her, Keith"
II don't doubt it. She's not, tho,
with him."
His father hurried his words.
"Please don't think Pm blaming her,
or you. Unaccountable things hap

told to admit that truly"
"You may as we'll know, Father,

proved steadily, until there came an
evening when he felt comfortable,
clear-headed, and conscience-stricken
about not having communicated with
Felicia.
That was a day or two after they'd
shown him a mirror when they shay
ed him-and because he was mascu-
line, they were much less reassuring
than with Felicia. 'Fraid you've
kind of spoiled your handsome face,
Mr.. Sheldie," his day nurse said.
He had a scar on one cheek that
lifted his mouth in a somewhat twist
ed smile. He had another scar run
ming from the corner of his eyebrow
across his forehead to his hair line.
"At that" the nurse said, you're
better looking than some."
On that evening when first he felt
physically comfortable, and assured
that he would in time be more or
less able to go on with things, his
father had his dinner brought to him,
on a tray beside Keith's bed. That
had become his daily custom.
His old face now had triumphant
look, as if his sons recovery were
largely due to his insistence, his i'm
position of will upon that crew of
dubious phys ciansl Why, the boy
would be we'll as ever shortly, and
much more of man, for losing some
of his mothers beauty.
He said: you're feeling like your
self, Keith. We can talk"
His son nodded, just resisted say
ing, "Only, we've never been able to
talk" and waited.
"Nice amount of publicity you got
yourself, and Felicia"
Keith spoke aloud then: "You are
unexpectedly amiable about it."
'Too bad you didn't have a critical
illness in your childhood"
"I don't see the connection, Faith
er."
Simple enough. Never knew I was
fond of you until I thought I might
lose you. Could have known, years
sooner, if you'd had scarlet fever or
something of that Sort"
Better late than never. I suppose"
Don't joke, Keith, I'm serious"
His fathers old gaze was fixed on
the curtained windows. Something
I should tell you, Keith. I would
never have-have lost your mother,
if I'd been willing to say I wasn't
always right"
Perhaps that was true, Keith
thought. Perhaps pretty Mary Shell
die might have endured her life, might
even have enjoyed it's wealth, and the
power implicit behind it, if his faith
er had been just degree less omnis-
cient, less arbitrary"
81 suppose" the older man said
in the weariest voice his son had ever
hard come from between those firm
lips, "some one or other told you that
old story, about your mother and me-"
Keith nodded.
"a musician" his father said bit
terly. Didn't know how to take care
of her. She was always a soft, deli
cate thing. I wouldn't have minded
so much, if he'd been able to give her
things-make her comfortable"

MASS TROOPS

Paris Fears War

PARIS, Dec. ~ Q.N.SO The
French government is rushing two
battalions Of infantry to French
Somaliland in response to urgent
appeals from the governor general
Of the East African colony for
military and naval reinforcements
to meet the threat of reported
maSsing of Italian troops.
The government also ordered
the colonial dispatch boat D'Iber-
vile, newest addition to Frances
fleet of armed colonial patrol
craft, to proceed from Beirut in
Syria to Djibuti, Somaliland.
(The D'Iberville, built late in
1884, is of 2,156 tons with a COM
plement of 1876 officers and men.
She is $40 feet long, and carries

Certain high quarters in Paris
expressed the fear tonight that

tween French Somaliland and

at which Franco italian hostilities
might begin.
Although there are several other
areas affected by growing tension
between the two nations, such as
