Now comes tho famous aBtronomcr PmfosBor Worthington, to support Professor Lowell's Idea that Mars Is Inhabited by a superior raco of be ings; that they aro far ahead of tho human raco that people- tho earth. They must be entirely different, for all the physical conditions aro wholly unlike thoso on tho earth. Water thoro holla at 110 degrees, and tho at mosphere Is less denuo and both aro Hlowly disappearing. This fact, ac cording to the evolutionary ldoa, will causo tho physical nntures of, tho peo plo thoro to clinngo or It will soon bo a dead world. Its destiny Is very In teresting to us, for what will becomo of tho Martian peoplo will becomo of us. This wholo unlvorBO started with mind. Its first objcctlvo forco was light; and then on to every form of matter. Mara Is going back to Us Jlrst estate, and its dwindling mate rial forces aro being succeeded by Hplrlt. Tho receding air nnd water havo excited their Intelligence to the utmost to provldo physical conditions in harmony with tholr needs. This very effort 1ms lifted htcm up to a higher Intellectual plane. So Mars teaches tho doctrine, from matter to spirit,, nnd probably, some day, tho pnrth will learn tho losson. CandloB In birthday calces Is a Gor man custom adopted Into this country. Tho candles aro equal In numbor to tho years of tho celebrant. A thick one In tho middle Is called tho "loben flllcht" (the light of Hfo). Only ho or sho who celebrates his birthday may put out tho "light of life;" it Is un lucky if dono by nny other member of tho family. Wo Beo in tho lights tho Bymbols of Hfo and Its portions tho years; and what sign for them could bo moro beautiful than light? Death was represented by tho ancients as tho genius with a turned down torch. Whon wo rofor to n man living too last wo nay "ho Is burning tho cnndlo at both ends."

Tho typical ofllco building is tho steel sky scraper. This, when troatod nB a sky scraper, is ono of tho moBt ImpreBS Ivo forms of architccturo on earth. Not to mention local examples, tho Went strcot and Woolworth build ings In New York, havo a beauty all their own a towering grandeur which owes Jittlo to buildings of any cnrllor ago.

But tho ngo of Imitation Is past Homos nowadays aro bolng built for comfort and beauty, not In sorvilo copy of "clasBlo" styloB. Judging by tho amount thoy aro al leged to expend for muBlo it would seem that tho Inhabitants of tho United States, of all people In tho world, should bo froo from inclination to "treason, stnitogom and Bpolls." For why? Because thoy havo muslo in their souls! John C. Fround, tho vet eran editor of Musical America, do claros that tho AmorlcauB spend for muslo tho enormous sum of $000,000, 000 por year.

In fact, in 1012 It wns half as much again, or nearer $300,000,000 por annum.

EXCELLENT FOR TENDER SKIN Victim of Sunburn Will Find Relief In This Preparation, Which Is a Homo Remedy. A preparation that will suit most tender skins or skin that has been sunburned is mado by mixing togeth er four ounces of pure almond meal, an ounco of powdered orris, two ounco3 of powdered castllo soap, one half drachm oil of bcrgamot, four drops of bitter ajmond oil and n quar ter of a drachm of extract of musk. Only tepid water should bo used on tho skin and nfter wetting1 It rub on somo of tho above preparation in stead of using soap, using the hands to mako tho application because a wash cloth usually causes friction and this, added to n sunburned skin, would mako it Boro and tender. More wator Is used and tho skin Is cleansed with tho hands and finally rinsed sev eral times and with old Boft towels patted dry. Thon a mero suspicion of cold cream is massaged into tho skin and so left for the night. Any girl or woman who will bo careful to protect her Bkin nnd care for It as just described even though It is naturally of a dry texturo will not burn or tan nearly as quickly as will tho girl with tho oily 3kln.

"Why this is so Is because of the difference in tho skin tissues. MART TAILOR-MADE SUIT Model of black nnd whlto checked Bhephord goods with cutaway Jackot Long lapels and shawl collar.

Tho following mixture has kept its fragrnnco foe twenty" yoars: Gather the roso petals on a sunny day, In tho morning. The common, sweet-scented varieties are best.

Al though millions of glasses of Coca-Cola nro drunk every year, no Coca-Cola fiends havo over made themselves vis lblo at the doors of tho sanitariums for tho treatment of drug habits. The Coca-Cola habit is analogous to tho beefsteak habit and to tho straw berry habit nnd tho lco cream habit People drink Coca-Cola first becauso they seo it advertised and thereafter becauso It tastes good and refreshes their minds and bodies. Thoy drink It when they can get it and contentedly do without It when they can't get It If you had ever witnessed the ravings of a real drug fiend when deprived of his drug, if you had over observed tho agony ho suffers, you would nover agnln bo so unfair as to mention Coca Cola in tho samo breath with the "habit-forming" drugs.
