St. John' 8 Day Rites
Observed in Mexico
June 24 is universal bath day in
Mexico. ' Throughout the republic
men, women and children, - by' going
down to the streams or swimming
pools and bathing, . commemorate the
day on which St. John the' Baptist
baptized Jesus Christ.-
This custom , of observing "St.
John's day" was originated by the
Spanish in the Sixteenth century,
when all recent converts among the
natives were taken to a stream of
running water and baptized. The
custom Is believed to be peculiar In
Mexico.
As the tradition began to lose Its
hold on the people, following, the
gaining of Independence, the cere
mony began to take on a more fes
tive aspect and lost somewhat of Its
religious significance. In the Nine
teenth century, therefore, the day be
gan to be celebrated by aquatic
fiestas, held In streams where avail
able or In pools in the larger cities.

Cane and iieet Sugar
When highly refined no one can dis
tinguish between cane and beet sugar,
as they are one and the same thing
lletween the crude or raw beet and
enne sugars there is a great differ
ence, the latter being edible,, while
the former Is not. as It possesses a
very disagreeable odor and taste.
Cane sugar molasses is good for culi
nary purposes; beet sugar molasses
Is not. Cane Juice contains glucose,
but beet Juice does not. though the
latter contains rafilnose and the for
mer does not.

Unwise to Disregard
I Danger in Lightning
There are cases of persons having
garments torn by lightning while they
themselves hove suffered no serious
harm. The body Is largely composed
of water, and If the clothing is dry the
bolt will puss through the body. If
the clothing is saturated the bolt may
follow the clothing instead,, of the
body. - It is advised by some that any-
. one caught In a thunderstorm In the
wilds should immerse himself In order
to saturate his garments, or, If this
be Impossible, to expose himself fully
to the rain In order to be drenched at
once,
There are few manifestations of na
ture's power more awe inspiring and
at the same time more fascinating
than a violent thunderstorm. Com
paratively few adults acknowledge a
feeling ot terror iij the presence of
this majestic display. There is, how
ever, a distinct difference between
fear and caution. The danger from
lightning Is never great, but it exists
nnd It should be reduced as nearly
as possible to the vanishing point
"Divine" High Priest
The Grand I-nma Is the supreme

prevailing in Mongolia and Tibet and

spirit worship. It was Introduced into
Tibet by the Chinese about the middle
pf the Seventh century, A. D., and
shortly thereafter the holy city pf
Lhasa became a goal for pious pil
grims and the seat of the Grand Lama.
The Grand Lama Is also called the
Palal Lama, I. e., the ocean-priest, or

Find Music Beneficial , ' :
in Mental Disorders
Music has recently been used In
prison and insane asylums to give
pleasure to the Inmates and to arouse
a normal community spirit among
them. The results have been very
gratifying, according to an article In
Welfare Magazine.
Music furnishes a - safe emotional
outlet and has a decided relation to
human conduct Persons suffering
from mental disorders behaved sanely
and normally, some for the first time
In many years, when Influenced by mu
sic. No claim Is made to cure or im
prove abnormal mental conditions by
music, but great pleasure and benefit
may be derived from group singing,
bands and the like.
The cost of bringing music to state
wards Is relatively small and it is
thought that it may be counterbal
anced by the amount of property saved
from destruction when the emotional
energy of certain violent types is given
an outlet through music. Hygela. .
What She Was After

cital of her woes, "you have had your
marital troubles Just like the rest of

would be justified In taking this step.
You have no other grounds for seek
ing a divorce, have you?" ;
Mrs. Sklffington hesitated a moment,
and then-added : "To, tell the truth, In

I-ara very anxious to.. give' hiui sonie
