MAGIC AND RELIGION
Tliclr Pnrtinc Due to the Advance of
Civilization
In west Africa the belief in a new
birth without loss of Identity Is proved
by tho fact thnt whpn a baby arrives
In a family It is shown a selection of
small articles belonging to deceased
members and the thing which tho
child catches hold of Identifies him as
Uncle John or Cousin Emma and
so forth So far as this belief prevails
t Is held by some that garments onco
Aorn or other objects which have been
In intimate contact with a human be
ing are penetrated by his personality
and remain as It were united with
him for good or 111
In nearly all stages of civilization
now to be found in the world what we
call supernatural beings were concern
ed with the Initiation of the magician
The schism between magic and reli
gion was a later development of civ
ilization When It occurred as the
history of heresy in Europe and the
witch trials teach it was rather magic
In Its antisocial aspect than in Itself
which was reprobated and punished
It Is strange In this connection to no
tice that the magician was only con
demned when he departed from estab
lished custom and established beliefs
which involved a severance from the
community and an Imputation of anti
social ends Practices essentially mag
ical might be incorporated In religious
rites and exercised for what was be
lieved to be the general good In such
a case they have continued to be ex
ercised with general assent In the high
est forms of religion London Hos

ODD MARRIAGE CUSTOM
Forclien ns Weddlns Certificates on
the Inland of Jersey
Ampng Jerseymen proper that is to
say among the descendants of tho orig
inal inhabitants of the island and not
the English or French residents there
a very curious and interesting old mar
riage custom exists
Upon the completion of the ceremony
and if In strict accordance with tradi
tion before the happy couple take up
residence In their new abode the stone
slab at the top of the porch containing
the front door is inscribed with the in
itials of the bridegroom those of the
bride the date of the ceremony and
two hearts intwined the latter being
an emblem of their intermingled love
and the whole forming a most lasting
and public certificate of marriage
Occasionally however a little diffi
culty arises The bride may meet with
an early death and in the course of
time the widower may desire to re
enter the holy state of matrimony
Having fulfilled his desire it appeals
rather puzzling to know what to do
about the inscription
In some cases therefore the initials
and date of the first wedding have
been erased and those of the subse
quent ceremony substituted while in
others the initials of the second wife
and the date have been added below
the first a second pair of intwined
hearts being thought unnecessary The
letters are usually from six to nine
inches in height so that they may be
easily read across the road London

Victims of n False Irophet
Just before the opening of the Kaffir
rebellion In South Africa about the
middle of the last century the sooth
sayers bade the tribes kill their cattle
and destroy their crops of grain The
spirits of their ancestors were to arise
and help them to exterminate every
white man in the country The advice
was solemnly accepted TVhen the day
of the great uprising arrived many of
the rebels were already starving But
there came no ghostly herds of cattle
out of the earth no crops not sown
with hands Grim terrible famine
swept over the land and in the months
which followed although the authori
ties did everything in their power to
mitigate its horrors 30000 victims of a
false prophet starved to death
Ventilation
Have Ave ever stopped to think how
our ancestors two or three generations
back lived and flourished with little or
no ventilation in their sleeping apart
ments The night air used to be con
sidered a very dreadful menace to
health and a sure Inducer of colds
Bedrooms were kept closely shut and
yet our ancestors many of them were
hardier than we and lived to good old
ages Animals burrow in their holes
at night breathing the same air over
and over again while birds and fowls
ruck their heads under their wings Of
course ventilation Is absolutely neces
sary for proper comfort cleanliness
and health but people have lived on
thousands of years

a theater that was erected exclusively
for the production of Wagners operas
and various other attractions which do
not disturb the classic atmosphere
but appeal to the artist the student
and whoever seeks for beauty and for
rest No city of equal size has so many
noble monuments and public buildings
while probably a larger number of
the population of Munich is engaged

Where Cicero Toole the Mad
Marcus Tullius Cicero bathed in the
mud of Lake Aguan 2000 years ago
in order to get rid of the gout The
mud of the standing waters in the dis
trict west of Naples was famous from
early times for tho relief of arthritis
The luxurious high livers of the im
perial days knew its efficacy and no
doubt did their cure there in much
the same rough and ready fashion as
their modern representative does now
It is no doubt to the sulphur and
other deposits that the mud of the lit
tle lakes on the promontory of Cumae
owes its health giving properties and
as nature works much the same way
now in that region as she did in the
time of the Caesars the effect upon
twentieth century gout is probably
much the same as when the great Tul
ly soaked his inflamed joints in the
ooze of the Phlegraeaen fields
aiaUIng Paint With SUim Milk
Stir into a gallon of milk about three
pounds of Portland cement and add
sufficient Venetian red paint powder to
Impart a good color Any other colored
paint powder may as well be used The
skim milk will hold the paint in suspen
sion but the cement being heavy will
sink to the bottom so that it becomes
necessary to keep the mixture well
stirred with a paddle Mix only enough
at a time for one days use Six hours
after painting this paint will be as im
movable and unaffected by water as a
month old paint Cases are on record
of this sort of paint being in good con
dition after twenty years and it has
preserved the wood admirably The
addition of carbolic acid or some other
disinfectant makes it very suitable for
dairy work as it then has a cleansing

THE DRAPIER LETTERS
Dcnn Swifts Battle For the Rights
of Ireland
The Drapler letters sir of which
signed M B Drapler appeared in a
Dublin newspaper In 1724 mark an era
In Irish history They were the work
of Dean Swift the author of Gulli
vers Travels The occasion calling
them forth was the grant of a patent
In 1723 to William Wood an English
man of Birmingham to coin halfpence
and farthings to the extent of 10S000
to be current in Ireland where there
was a deficiency of copper coinage
Public feeling in Ireland was In a state
of Irritation at its treatment by Eng
laud and Swift took advantage of this
coinage business to advocate the rights
of Ireland Under the mask of a plain
honest patriotic tradesman he coun
seled all true patriots not only to re
fuse to take the new coinage but to
refrain from using any English man
ufactures whatever The result was
tremendous No one would take Woods
money and associations were formed
for refusing the currency The publica
tion of the first three letters had so
roused the temper of Ireland that it
was now easy for Swift to come to the
real point of issue In the fourth let
ter he accordingly treats of the royal
prerogative The government instantly
took alarm and offered a reward of
300 for the discovery of the author of
this fourth letter Its printer was
thrown into prison But all was in
vain The government yielded to the
storm Woods patent was surrender
ed the patentee being indemnified by
a grant of 3000 yearly for twelve
years Thus through the force and an
imation of Swifts arguments victo
riously terminated the first grand
struggle for the independence of Ire

SANITARY CONCRETE
Bnilding Material of the Future and
lis Advantages
The advantages of concrete on the
mechanical side are these It is proof
against fire wind and water rats in
sects and dry rot and the danger of
electricity It needs no painting or re
pair Fire or water overflow inside can
do only local damage to the contents of
a room and no more
It becomes stronger and harder with
age which is of course an advantage
except when additions or alterations
are made involving hard work to cut
the walls and floors There are no
leaky roofs no damp or cold east or
north rooms There Is great economy
of heating Being a firm mass through
out like a house made of baked clay
there is no vibration and in case one
spot of the foundation should be under
mined the well knit structure might
not show so much as a crack It Is
practically earthquake proof
Concrete is healthful because it
leaves no fissures for dust or for in
sects which spread disease It is cool
in summer and warm in winter and
with a minimum of exertion can be
kept sweet and clean On the artistic
side as the house beautiful it lends
itself to sculpture and painting and as
an object on the landscape it can be
made a joy to the eyes Country Life

Red and White Wine
Amisapprehensionabout the strength
of red and white wines exists said a
vine grower Because red wine has
a darker richer look people think it is
more Intoxicating The opposite real
ly is the case Red wines are made
by fermenting grape juice skins and
seeds together White wines are
made by fermenting juice alone In
the skins and seeds there is a lot of
tannin and red wine contains much
tannin while white wine contains
none This tannin an astringent
closes the pores of the stomach and
prevents the alcohol in the red wine
from entering the blood freely and
going as the saying is to the head
White wine champagne for instance
has no tannin and hence its intoxicat
ing properties are much more keenly
to be feared than those of the tannin
filled red wine Philadelphia Bulle

The Chinese are a wonderfully in

learn very early to make themselves
useful In the streets of a Chinese
town it is no uncommon sight to see
two children who are so young that
they can hardly talk trotting along
with a bamboo pole on their shoulders
by which they are carrying home a pail
of water If one child a stronger than
the other the pail is nung near his
shoulder for thus he takes the heavy
end of the pole
