trenches. Tho price went sky-high.
Japan exports the stuff by millions
of pounds annually. But since the end
of the war the demand has fallen off
and the price has dropped to one-
fourth what 1t,was,
It used to be a mystery. Nobody
knew where it came from or whet It
was made of. For centuries it was
familiarly known in Asiatic countries
before Europe wars acquainted with it.
Although the secret was carefully
kept, discoverywas eventually made
that the "Persian powder" was simply
the ground -up -flower heads of a plant
closely .resembling our common field
patsy. Its efficiency as a bug killer is
due to a volatile oil which suffocates
insects.
In Europe the plant was first grown
extensively in Dalmatia, where at the
present time it is cultivated on a vast
settle. The Unite:( States Department
et Agriculture, wishing to Introduce
it into the States, imported the seeds
again and again, but th,ey refused to
sprout—the reason, as eventually as-
certained, being that they had been
previously baked by the canny Dalma-
tian planters.
At length, however, they secured
some live ones, and it is now produced
in California on a big scale, a single
farm near Stockton having 300 acres
devoted to the plant that yields pyreth-
rum,
What It Costs.
What one thing holds humans back
more than any other one thing? What
is man's most serious handicap and
woman's stumbling block?
What one thing bas cost you more
friends .and, without doubt, more
money, than any other one thing?
Answer: Anger!
Anger comes in when
out,
When you are wrong, you usually
get wrathy. When you run into a
rage, you lose all control of yourself
and of others.
Wizen a man is in a frenzy, he is
more than foolish—he often is 'erim-
iaal,
Consequently, losing your head is
sure to lead to some serious situation.
Getting angry means that you are
suffering from a form of physical or
mental weakness.
When your Bands get cold, your face
livid, your tongi;e dry and thick, the
Shock means that you have shortten,ed
your stay on earth.

Seeing Without Eyes.
It has been stated by a French
scientist that it is possible for us to
see without eyes!
Professor Farigoule observed that
certain subiacts in a state of somnam-
bulism, when blindfolded, behaved as
if they were able to ,see- 1 -lo there-
fore hypnotized a sublet, and, having
bllnclfolid him, suggested that he
could still see the title of a newspaper.
The result was successful.
Experiments wre triad on live other
subjects, and Use result obtained in
the nest case was confirmed,
Professor Farigoule explained that
there are many different varieties of
nerve -endings in the skin. The argu-
ment advanced is that it is unlikely
that all these various forms of nerve -
endings have to do with the sense of
touch, and that it is just as likely that
some of them are connected with the
sense of vision.
Measuring the Moon.
It is difficult to realize how com-
paratively small is the noon, In the
sky it looks as big as the sun, which
we know is very far away and im-
mensely big. But compared with the
earth, the noon is a tiny body.
Its diameter is just about 2,160
miles. Now, if you take an atlas and
on the map of Australia or Africa
draw a circle of the radius of the moon
to scale, you will find that it would
131 comfortably within the length of
Australia, the smallest continent, and
just about fill the north-western bulge
of Africa.
In the great circle of the Pacific,
from which, according to an old idea,
it was born, the moon would make a
solitary island.

they all watched the bird opened his

A. serge dress is, of course, a nec-
essity for school wear. It may be worn
early in the fall, then later with a
heavy coat. It is advisable to have
two serge dresses, one probably a
made -over, and the other a new one.
These must be easy to press, and per-
haps even to wash out in wool soap
or soap bark on Saturday. A little
white collar adds a .touch of light color
and variety, but frills, tassels or any-
thing elaborate would be foolishness.
A fall suit is needed, and this should
be 'bought ready-made, unless one is
proficient in tailoring. Blue tricotine
or serge is the standard conservative

Seasonable Itecigrs.
Pear Honey—For this use }tare
pears which would net be so nice in
preserves os'cenned. For every dozen
pears allow three pounds Of sugar and
three cups el water. Pare and cote
fruit and 'put through neat grinder,
using coarse knife. Cover with water
and cool: for ten minutes, then add sugar and sleek forty -rive minute.:
after another, but other colors or ma- longer. ,seal in ,jars.
Quince honey
terials might be substituted, for it. A flay be made the seine cony,
semi -tailored suit is most generally' Ginger Pears _his is another way
becoming, and leas the advantage of to use hard pears, For every o!gh;
in suitable le f r best wear the first
burg ab o pseuds of fruit, before peeling, r.:low
year, and class -room wear the second I six pounds of sugar, three larnorra, ore
year. With this should be bought a
close -fitting hat Which will also do for
wear with a winter coat later. A blouse
of a rather dressy type should' be made
to wear with -this suit- Since I ant
short I have found that a blouse the
same color as the suit is most •becom-
ing. This would not •be true of a tall
person, yet I have always disliked
seeing a person cut in two with a
light waist and a dark skirt. Georgette
is an appropriate material for the
blouse, or else crepe de chine.
A girl needs a dark sills dress for
informal afternoon occasions and for
church. This may be of satin, crepe
de chine or taffeta in a dark color,
pound of candied ginger, and onc-
fourth pound ginger net. Chop peare
fine. Put one quart of water, juice of
lemons, lemon peel cut fine, in pre-
serving kettle, and bring to the boil-
ing point. Then add pears, candied
ginger chopped fine and ginger root
chopped fine and tied in bag, Cools
slowly until pears are tender.
Apple Butter frons Windfalls— •
Measure the •apples, wash and slice
into small pieces, add four gallons of
water for each 'bushel of apples. Boil
until fruit is soft; rub through screen
or sieve, To tito pulp from each bushel
of apples add two galinus of boiled
eider. Bring to a bcdl, add twelve
made rather simply. Ono might as pounds of sugar. Cook until propes
well make this dress as to bay it, for con'sistentcy, Add spices to taste.
When butter is as thick as desire:I
pour it at ,once into hot jar, sm: seal
immediately,
it is easy to. •copy clever ideas from
ready-mades. It may be that otic needs
an afternoon dfess which is more
elaborate, with lace and •georgette. If
you are not sure that you will have
occasions demanding this dress, do not
buy .it, for it is foolish to spend money
for anything unnecessary. When I was
in college, I had a dress of navy blue
georgette which answered this pur-
pose.
