Blustering Mars nnd Hit Name Month, the Thraclnn of the Twelve. Mars was not a favorite among the classic Greeks, nor Is his name month great favorite among the Gothic moderns. The god of war was a bar barian Intruder In the Olympian circle. There was something Thraclun, and by that token crude and unworthy In his manner. He was more of a blusterer than a fighter, and Homer narrates with evident relish how Pallas Athene tumbled him over In combat, his vast bulk covering several acres. Of wild aspect, untutored way9 and Indifferent wits, he had little to recommend him hut his Immoral origin. Such also Is the month that has taken the war god's name. One poet notes Its "ugly looks and threats." "A half wild creature cast from nature's lap, another calls It The proverb "mad as a March hare" says the same thing with less reticence. Eul!sh people call the month "March Mnnyweath ers" and thereby Intimate their doubt of Its capacity for sustained purpose. It is the Thracian of the twelve, as September Is the Tyrian. There Is something blustering and barren In its aspect, as there Is In what people call "a good war." The winds that blow from one end of It to the other are not the winds of God." A peck of March dust may be worth a king's ransom, as a wise saw has It, but from the aver age human It gets less grateful guer don. "Beware the Ides of March" Is good wisdom for our common human ity. New York Mall. cables, with broad, crlmpled leaves of a dark olive hue, which assume grace ful shapes In the tide. When the visitor peers down Into the turquoise water the scene Is often a revelation. A new world Is opened up and the real beauties of oceanic or submarine scenery are appreciated. The great leaves are carried by the fitful currents that sweep these Islands In every direction. . Sometimes they are extended at full length and appeat like a horde of green snakes. Again they lie down upon the surface, list less and drooping, taking myriads of shapes and forming nooks and corners of great beauty. So attractive are these forests that what Is known as the water glass has been elaborated Into a glass bottomed boat, which has several large plate glass windows through which the pas' sengcrs may look down into the kelp forests and view a panorama of the sea. These boats range In size from rowboats to side wheel steamers, so ar ranged that they can float over the forest and view its wonders up and down the coast. Chicago News. Fronts and Indlgeatloa. Mrs. , who knows many a prac tical thing, had a maid who was dying (or thought she wasj of indigestion. Now this maid was too valuable to lose. so her mistress determined to save her life and retain her services. "Maggie, I want you to eat every morning for breakfast three stewed prunes. Now, never more than three. If you were to eat more yon would get tired of them. But three will leave you a little hungry for some more prunes and your appe tite will steadily Increase." Maggie started in obediently and at the end of the week was the healthiest, happiest girl for miles around. Mrs. has effected many such cures. New York Press. He Met Him.

The Proline of Monte Cblrlea, on the Iiilnnd of Llparl. rumlce. as is well known, is of vol- conic origin, being a tracbytlc lava which has been rendered light by the escape of gases when in a molten state It Is found on most of the shores of the Tyrhetiiau sea and elsewhere, but Is at present almost exclusively obtained from the little Island of Llparl. Most of the volcanoes of Llpnrl have ejected pumaceous rocks, but the best stone li all the product of one mountain, Monte Chirlcn, nearly 2.000 feet In height with Its two accessory craters. The district In which the pumice Is excavat ed covers nn area of three square miles. It has been calculated that about 1.00C hands are engaged lu this Industry, COC of whom are employed In extricating the mineral. Pumice is brought to the surface In large blocks or In baskets and Is car ried thus either to the neighboring vil lage or t3 the seashore to be taken there In boats. The stnpply Is said to be practically Inexhaustible. Pumice l used not merely for scouring and cleansing purposes, but also for polish ing lu numerous trades; hence the fad that the powdered pumice exported ex ceeds In weight the block pumice. Be tween twenty nnd thirty merchants are engaged In the pumice trade on the Island. London News. RaRraiu tiffins. Mr. Blrrell's story about the little ragamuffin In a church school stirred a clerical correspondent to write a let ter wherein he spoke of ragamuffins as "boys who have more rags than muffins." No doubt that was not meant to be taken seriously from the etymolog ical point of view. The mumn of the word has puzzled many. "Rnganiuf fin," says Dr. Johuson, "Is from 'rag,' and I knaw not what else." According to Dr. Brewer the word moans a rag ged "muff" or "muffin" (a spirltle.'s fellow). But the original RagnmolTjii seems to have been a demon lu certain old mystery plays, whove name was probably Just high sounding nonsense. It Ib curlaus, however, that "the rag man" Is an old name for the devil. London Chronicle. L. M. Preston, secretary and man ager of the Tlmklr, Hollar company.
