About the SWastika

The swastika, oldest of all Aryan
symbols, is definitely pre-Christian
and many specimens of it have
been found in the diggings of old
Troy. From its rough likeness to a
wheel it is associated by some with
the solar motion and early worship
of the sun, though the most impor-
tant Of its attributes, in ancient
usage, is its character as a charm,
a sign Of benediction, of long life
and good luck. 1t is the sacred
symbol of one Buddhist sect, and
from time immemorial has been
known to all peoples Of Asia. The
fact that it was not unknown to the
American Indian is held to point
to early communication between the
hemispheres. The word, sWastika,
says the Detroit News, derives from
the Sanskrit "su" meaning well, and
"asti' which means being. On the
bust Of Apollo in Vienna's famed
museum of historical art is a large
and unmistakable swastika, which
bears out the supposed solar signif-
icance, and identifies that god, per-
haps, as the first of the Austrian
Nazis.

Young of Some Animals
Weigh Little When Born

1t is claimed that new born opos-
sums weigh about four grains as
compared with the mothers weight
Of ten pounds. The young are born
with well-developed forelegs that
enable them to crawl into the ma
ternal pouch Immediately after
birth, where they remain for some
time.
1t is stated that the kangaroo per-
haps heads the list in this respect.
The mother, sometimes taller than
a man, gives birth to young that are
less than one inch long. Both the
opoSsum and kangaroo are the best
known members of pouched ami
mails, called marsupials.
The young Of the common black
bear, that are born in Information,
weigh about ten ounces as compared
with the mothers weight Of two
hundred pounds or more.
These three animals undoubtedly
produce the smallest young in COM
parison to the weight of the parents
Of any wild animals.
Virginia white-tailed deer give
birth to fawns weighing about four
pounds while the mother tips the
scale at 100 to $50 pounds.

Big Massacre Blamed on

AS a result the little town Of By

and every family-except one
slaughtered. The one family was
that headed by a miller named
Smith.
The Indians refused to harm
Smith because he had taken one Of
their chiefs who was severely in

him until he recovered.
The massacre resulted when the
husband Of the woman who refused
to give bread to the Indian walked
into the house and shot him dead.
The Indians demanded immediately
that the killer be turned over to
them for punishment. They threat
ened to kill and scalp every settler
and burn their homes unless this
were done.
In general the settlers felt that
the killing had not been justified,
but they stubbornly refused to SUBJ

Small Tables for Homes
USed in Ancient Tim

In Queen Elizabeth's time, tables
for the most part were Of the board
and hinged-board type supported on
trestles. The Elizabethans had lit
tie need for small tables in their
mode of living, but with the devel-
opment Of printing, the reading Of
books at night required a readjust-
ment Of lighting and the small table
was the result. We can trace
through these small pieces of furni-
ture the influence Of the age Of
Queen Anne, the early Georges, the
various French Louis periods and
on through the empire, writes an
authority in the Los Angeles Times.
The small table as a distinct arti-
Gle of furniture came into popularity
in England about the middle Of the
Eighteenth century when the gen.
eral use of tea, coffee and chocolate
required furniture of this type. We
find at this time the dropleaf, &C.
tagonal, gateleg, triangular dropleaf
and tripod base, tile-top, tiny can
dlestands, butterfly, lyre-motif and
a great number of other forms.
Many Of them were designed with
plain or Gabrielle legs, having spade
or claw-and-ball feet, plain or
carved knees. We can safely say
the general type was the tripod.
The small table was an important
adjunct in the furnishing of room
and the American craftsmen used
considerable ingenuity in fashion
ing them. A few American cabinet
makers modified the styles of Chip
pendale. The designs of Hepple-
white and Sheraton were generally
copied by our cabinetmakers. Sher-
atoms designs were very popular.
Card tables, work tables and Penn
brokes were common after 1900.

cordl"g to d ritter in the Detroit
News. And the reason for this is.
Of course, that throughout the ages
all animals have been pursued by
man and his smell, therefore, in
stantly brings to the surface the
timeless dread of their greatest en-
envy. A deer, for instance. will
often gaze upon a man in sheer
curiosity, but will instantly fee
upon getting wind of him. Since
the beginning Of time Nature has
showered her greatest gifts into
the lap of man, but on the whole he
has shown only base ingratitude
and heedlessly continues to DESTROY
and dangerously deplete her mag
nificent creations. In the open all
senses must be mighty keen, and
SO Nature in her great wisdom has
endowed her charges with faculties
that will give them at least fight
ing chance in a life that is always
hard.

IN MEMORIAM
IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR
DEAR DAUGHTER
ANTOINETTE c. MCFARLAND

A NIOINETTE c. MCFARLAND
There is never a day so dreary
But God can make it bright,
And unto the soul that trusts Him,
He giveth songs in the night.
There is never a path so hidden,
But God can lead the way,
If we ask for the spirits guidance
And patiently wait and pray.
There is never a cross so heavy
But the nail-scarred hands are
there
Outstretched in tender compassion
The burden to help US bear.
There is never a heart so broken
But the loving Lord can heal
The heart that was pierced on
Calvary
Doth still for his loved ones feel.
There is never a life so darkened,
So hopeless and unblessed
But may be filled with the light of
God e.. iIkiM
And enter his promised rest.
There is never a sin or sorrow,
There is never a care or loss
But that we may bring to Jesus
And leave at the foot of the Cross.
In the midst of the constantly
recurring sense in the loss of the
earthly companionship of our dear
daughter Antoinette who passed on
July 2 last, this poem has been
most comforting to us. True
enough the echo of our sad expert
ence still sounds a sorrowful re-
frain in our memory, we know that
Antoinette rests, and that just be-
yond the thin veil that separates
time and eternity, we are conscious
of the sweet influence of her near
ness to US.
