In this temple, later on, the Romans first coined MON EY, and our word for that use ful medium of trade was there fore taken directly from the tem ples name, Moneta. Not only MONEY, but the word MINT, as well, was so derived. Few users of "household am monia" realize how tremendous a name the familiar drug is wear ing. It was near the temple of Jupiter Amnion, god of the Egyp tians, that SAL-AMMONIAC was first discovered, and for Jupiter Amnion himself that the pungent mineral was named, for which the modern world has found so many uses. One of our old-fashioned flow ers, the PEONY, bears a name of heathen derivation. PAEON, him self a minor deity, was physician to the gods on Mount Olympus. His name was chosen for the PEONY because that plant was formerly used in' medicine. THE names of precious stones gave evidence of their anti quity, and the meanings'are some times extremely quaint, and some times only beautiful. GEM Is a shortening of the .Greek word GEMMA, which means "a bud". JEWEL is a more modern word, coming from the French JKU, "play," or "jou-Jou," ."a plaything". DIAMOND means literally "un tamed". In Its sense of being HARD, and it is really another form of the word ADAMANT. The word TAME is from the same root. RUBY means simply "red". GARNET was named from its likeness to pomegranate seeds. Pomcgranslum means "an apple with a cluster of seeds . These seeds (granalum) are of a beau tiful crimson color, very sugges tive of the stone. TOPAZ is from an Eastern word, tapes, "fire". PEARL is "a little pear". SAPPHIRE means literally "beloved of Saturn". This hints at some old tuperstl-, tion, forgotten now. , The word ONYX has a very pretty meaning, simply "finger- It is vitally important that our food and drinks should be attractive in appearance, as well as gratify ing to the sense of taste. other mixture.

The ancients, as was natural, chose their names for things from the objects they saw around them objects already named by those who had lived before them. The very first "pocket" was th inner side of a cheek, since prim itivc man, wearing no clothes, must put things for safe keeping into his mouth. A pocket is "a little POKE;" which latter word was early used as we now use Its derivative, our modern POCKET. And POKE is thought to be con nected with the Latin ...bucca, "a check". PURSE comes from the Greek bursa, "a hide". The correspond ing French word Is bourse, "a purse", and BOURSE is also the name by which the French stock exchange is known. Our English verb disburse is the same as "dis purse." BUDGET comes from the Latin bulga, "a bag". The original budget was a bag full of money; later it was a number of small bags containing various sums sorted out for certain definite . purposes. Such a system was nec essary in an age when arithmetic was unknown or lnaressible. The modern BUDGET is a carefully planned system of expenditures, whether for household or for pub. lie affairs. But the "bags" are no longer indispensable. The word CASH has changed considerably in its meaning. Orig inally a Cash was a case or box to hold ' money, from the old French easse, "a case, a box". It la now user! to designate the con tents of the case. Attractive Table and bring to a FULL ROLLING BOIL over hottest fire. Stir con stantly before and while boiling. Boil hard 1 minute.

There are many ways of doing the famous rising card trick, but most of them are very difficult Fig. 1. and suited only for the stage. The method 1 will show you can be performed any place and with out fear of detection. Card Rise From Pack EFFECT: The magician allows a card to be freely selected from the pack. After everyone but the magician has seen the card, it is put back into the deck. Holding the cards outstretched in his left hand, the magician asks the au dience: "How would you like to have the card apprar, fast or slow?" If the answer l "fast," he turps to the person who se lected the card and asks him to "nsme the card." Say the answer Is "Jack of Diamonds." With his arms still extended and holding the deck, the magician commands, "Jack of Diamonds, rise!" To the amaiement of everyone, the se lected card jumps out of the deck Into the air. If the answer Is "slow," the card rises slowly and mysteriously from the pack until it is in plain view of everyone. SECRET! In every new pack of cards you will find two or three extra cards. Take. these two cards 'i cup water 2 teaspoons corn starch Juice '2 lemon Combine jetty and water, sim mer until jelly is dissolved.

(Copyright. There Is Definite Knack To Wearing Of Jewels By Deborah Ames NOT lopg ago I was a guest at a luncheon honoring several young girls who had Just been graduated from one of our best finishing schools. They were all nice kids, between the ages of about seventeen and nineteen, well behaved and nice to look at. One of them, an exceptionally pretty child, and almost the youngest one there, was exhibit ing her graduation present an enormous diamond ring. U was too big for good taste even on an older woman, but on her it looked simply horrible. 1 was a bit surprised to hear that her family had given it to hfr. Perhaps 1 am being a bit "Id fashioned, but I can not fee! that diamonds are appropriate for youngsters and cs"o?ially big ones in very ornate seunvrs. Dia monds ure a hard and brilliant stone, and they almost demand the same sort of surroundings. A lovclv pearl, or even some of the beautiful semi-precious stones' would hnvo looked so much better on the girl. Leave Diamonds until a woman can provide enough sparkle and wit in her conversa tion to match the stone. This chil l couldn't and shouldn't be expected to. "THERE is n great knack to the wearing of jewels. It is better to wear none at all than to wear too many or the wrong kind. My mother-in-law nnd I used to hnve great discussions over the fact thnt I did not wear my engage ment ring at all times. It was a very beautiful ring two big dia monds and a sapphire, and I really thought a great deal of it. "Twin By Inez (As Told To Five ONCE there were two little . brown bears named Johnny and Jimmy. They looked so much nliko that you couldn't tell which was Johnny and which was Jim my. They were twin bears. Even their own mother couldn't tell them apart. They lived in a cavo at the edge of tho forest, nnd their mothor always said: "Don't go into the foro.'t bo cause you're too little." So Johnny nnd Jimmy played all day long near the cave, and never went into the forest, until one day Johnny stood on his hind legs and said: "I'm bigger than you." "Oh no you're not," snid Jim my, and he stood on his hind l?gs too. "We'ro both big now," said Johnny. "Big enough to go Into the forest." So they did go into the forert, walking on their hind legs. The first animal they met was a squirrel. "We're bigger than he Is," said Johnny, T cretly place GPOFO GJI W.U- DXF in the TEXXSO of the XOWN.

Date.. 1916 Feay Fuller J For tho first three or four years of my marriage my husband and I were, very poor, nnd could af ford no maid, consequently I did all the work about the house. 1 simply did not see myself plung ing those lovely stones into dish water and furniture polish and tho babies laundry. I think there aro few things uglier than dirty dinmonds. I never did like jewelry on men, but that is merely a personal prejudice. I think it nrises from a very nasty person that I knew in my ycuth who wore a large yel low ('inn nnd on his pudgy yellow hnnds. I think a seal ring or one w:?h the femily crest, is perfectly all right. The "crash tags" that so many men affect now are per fectly proper, too, as long as the wearer is entitled to one. Really, only aviators are supposed to wear them, nnd tho general the ory in giving them is based on the old army practice of giving them when a flyer first solos. Rather a gruesome reminder In the n'ine, but they have grown into almost a part of the uniform now. I remember how proud I was when I fastened the shiny new one around my husband's wrist. It's still there, battered and scratched, but he seldom takes it off. Of course, it goes without say ing that jewelry of any sort is very out of piece on young chil dren. I am glad that tho practice of giving rings nnd lockets to babies is almost forgotten. Babies should be so Rwcot and clean fiat they need no jewel to call n'tn tion to them.

The wolf sat under the tree for a long time and watched them. Then at last ho gave up and wont away, John ny nnd Jimmy still trembling climl cd down. "Tho wolf can't climb a tree," said Johnny.
