The trunk of the tree usually is quite short. The leaves of a medium size tree are around 4 or 5 inches long, but they may attain a length of 7 inches, jare rough edged, and yellow green and rough in texture above when the tree is young. On the underside the leaves are much paler. As the tree grows older the leaves become a darker green and smooth. Some of them develop with unequal lobes. The bark of the mulberry is quite distinctive in tha it is grayish brown and seems to separate into plates.

Consider what Greek stenographers were up against 2,000 years ago. They had to learn a shorthand system of more than 10,000 symbols! It often took them five years. The reason was that there was a sign for every work. But in 1602, Isaac Pitman,"an Englishman, developed the basis of our many systems. This substitutes simple lines, curves and points for sounds. John R. Gregg, a Seotch^born American, developed the system most popular in this country, in 1888. A good professional stenographer can "tak«** S 0 6 words per minute.

It was only in Pennsylvania that the Geman element was more than a small minority before the Revolution, perhaps a third of the settlers in that state being Germans. Although the German language persisted in Pennsylvania, the English stock outnumbered all the others f^oitt the years 1760 to 1790. MThe American Creed" Following is "The American's Creed": "I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic ; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice»-and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it;, to support its Constitution; to obey its law$; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all epe* mies." The Purple of Cassias Tfre "purple of Cassius was a tee purple pigment first prepared by Andreas Cassius about 1685 and called also gold purple. It is obtained Dy treating a solution of gold chloride with a mixture of tin chlorides. The resulting product is believed to consist of tin oxides mixed with finely divided metallic gold. It is used to impart a pink, rose or ruby red color in staining glass, in painting pottery and enamel, and ~ in coloring artificial gems.
