THE GOD OF WAR.
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.

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

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.

Mrs. , who knows many a prac

(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

the week was the healthiest, happiest

PUMICE STONE.
The Proline of Monte Cblrlea, on the

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

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.

Buffering that comes from some de

Many thousands of women have

To be a successful wife, to retain
the love and admiration of her hus
band, should be a woman's constant
study.
If a woman finds that her ener
gies are flagging, that she gets easily
tired, dark shadows appear under
her eyes, she has backache, head
ache, bearing-down sensations, ner
