A Bit Hot, but Loyal. A girl went to India, and at the first New Year’s away from home she .wmte her devout mother: The Welsh Language. The quite erroneous idea that Welsh is a language or consonants probably. arises from the number of w’s it cOn- tains. according to a Welshman in the London News. “W” in Welsh is gen- erallyâ€"and always between two con- sonantsâ€"a pure vowel. sounded like “00" in English. Thus “cwm” is pro- nounced “koom.” rhyming with “boom.’.’ What is really one of the most remarkable features about the Welsh language is the number of vow- els which can come together. In Eng- lish three vowels in success are not often met with. In Welsh it is not uncommon to find four or fiveâ€"e. g., in “llywiawdwr” (governor). Here each of the five vowels “ywiaw” is pro- nounced separately in rapid succession. Here are four lines. consisting en- tirely of vowels, made by Goronwy Owen in the eighteenth century: 0'1 wiw wy a. weuae, Ieuau o ia. ai 0 1y?

Those who know something of the lore of superstitions say that if a ribbon C some scrap of fabric is passed through the hole which a perfect eagle stone is always supposed to contain the po- tency of the “charm” is much all- hanced-New York Sun. the world would probably turn aside the question, if it were put to him, as to how much of his great success, how many of his millions. were due to his eagle stone. Yet for a quarter of a century. perhaps even more, that eagle stone has reposed in a pocket of his trousers each business day. When pondering over propositions that have needed immediate decision this mag- nate has been seen to take out this stone and pass it from one hand to the other. It is a genuine “charm” that will keep away disaster, it is said, and gets its name from the fact that It Eagle Stones and Luck. Among the superstitious the eagle stone is held in high esteem as a lucky charm. Thus one of the richest men in “Well!" said Miss Lucy. “Well!” and then she closed the door.â€"Youth’s Companion. “Doing!” echoed the tramp. “I was starting round to the kitchen to ask the young lady I saw hanging out your clothes if she’d hand me a bite of breakfast. Then I thought I didn’t make a very good appearance, and I was about to go on to the next house when I saw this mat with the invita- tion, ‘Please use this mat,’ right on it, so I stepped up here. In about five minutes more I’ll look well enough so I can go round to the kitchen.” General Invitation. One morning Miss Lucy Halcomb, the most fastidious housekeeper in Bushby, who was reported to have washed an unfortunate grandnephew into a decline, opened her front door, -having heard strange noises on the piazza. There stood a tramp, his shoes caked with mud, which he was scrap- ing off with a knife and kicking off by alternate applications of his heels on her doormat. \Ve can sincerely extend the fullest. eymputhy of this xmighbm'hmd tn the father and mother, brother and :si.~1.:-'rs it: their sud bereavement.

The Grand Trunokrhas fallen into line on previous anniversaries and will again give prominence to raisin dishes th1oughout their system on April 30th., this year. On April 30th.. the people of Cali- fornia will celebrate the fourth ann- ual California Raisin Day when the slogan is “eat raisin bread. eat raisin pie, eat raisins cooked or raw, but eat them anyhow”. The idea of the cele- bration is to assist one of the greatest industries of the State by bringing the native product before the public as prominently as possxble and after four years the institution has become quite popular. It is not by any means con- fined however within the borders of California for many of the EaStern railways feature the dusky fruit by placing special raisin dishes on the ; menus of their dining cars for that day. 1 I Select patterns that are difl’emntj ‘ from the ordinary kind-4’3 pers that j have a real decorative valueâ€"Papers i you would beprond to have hung on; your wall because of their style and , individuality.
