The lecturer started off so well that he did not need any such help. however. for he caught the audience from the first. By and by. when not saying anything worthy of particular notice. he happened to pull his mustache. and his anxious ally in the box at once broke into furious applause. Mark was all but broken up by the misadventure. and ever after. wards unfit”! m ‘ employing According to a French ethnologist. whenever two men met in former times they were accustomed to hold up their right hands in front of them as a sign that they had no intention of attack- ing eaeh other. This mark of confi- Iielwe. however. did not prove sufficient in all eases. for a man may hold up his right hand and yet. if he keeps it rinsed. may have a weapon eoneealed in it. and therefore it became the (-us- tom for the two right hands to grasp each other. as only thus could fall as- suranee be given that no weapon was concealed in either of them. Formerly. therefore. this gesture. now the token of loyalty and friendship. was one of reciprocal distrust. Why We Shake Hands.

At last the process of undressing was completed and the little naked baby was being warmed by the fire. There it sat. with all its splendid outer husks peeled 06'. its little body beginning to glow in the but by the fire.

This beautiful. weird. gold colored flower of gossamer texture belongs to California alone. Nowhere else in the. world has it ever made its habitat. There it is naturally so profuse that it is related as a fact that. coming on a turn full face upon a blooming field of yellow poppies. daz- zling in the sunshine. horses have been put to flight as from flames of tire. i There is ever a mystery about the poppy. it is a weird fiower. it is al- most sentient. with a life unknown to human kind. “While glory guards with solemn tread the bivouac of the dead" stealthily a sea of gore creeps over the old battlefields. Blood red. the pappies in waves and billows hold high carni- val above the soil that covers the slain. Lord Macaulay says of the battlefield of Neerwinden: “The summer after the battle the soil, fertilized by 20.000 dead. broke forth into millions of blood red poppies. The traveler from St. 'i‘rond to Tirlemont who saw that vast field of rich scarlet stretching from Latvian ' to Neerwinden could hardly help fan- cying that the figurative description of the Hebrew prophet was literally ac- complished: that “the earth was dis- closing her blood and refusing to cover her slain." Bayard Taylor in “The Lands of the Saracen" says he contem. plated with feelings he could not de- scribe “the old battlefields of Syria. densely covered with blood red pop- pies. blooming in barbaric splendor. gloating on the gore of soldiers slain.” (Du-ll... musing Blossom ‘l'hal Created the autos-ml- Meteors. Far out at sea gleaming sheets of dauling gold arrested the gaze of the early explorers of California.

An eminent bot- anist. Eschscholts.‘ at once classified the plant. and his followers conferred his name upon this the only native American papaver. ‘ Dreamlike in beauty, fascinating from ‘ sheer loveliness, spreading in soft un- dulations over the land. the California poppy bloomed above the richest views and arteries of gold the world has ever known, all unsuspected. A Circe, with powers to please, dazzle and charm by its enchantments, while it allures. lulls and mystifles, this flower of sleep seem- ed to draw by some occult process from the earth the elixir of gold. unfolding Its blooms of gold as beacons proclaim- ing, “We are blooming above rich mines of gold." , on w [mm \wrrylng me about. l‘ood. nnd A ppeflte.
