Origin of Prayers.
In Genesis occurs the sentence:
“Then men began to call upon the
name of the Lord.” That was sup¬
posed to be about 3875 B. C. Pope
Gregory, In 532, instituted the manner
of praying with the face to the east.
The Use of Purple. -
Purple, a mixture of scarlet and
blue, was discovered at Tyre. It was
used by high officials and was in 532,
by degree of Justinian, confined to the
„ use of the Emperor, hence the expres¬
sion, “Born to the purpled

Georgia, tablets.
“Founders’ Roll” tablets belong¬
ing to members of the “Founders'
Roll” of the other Confederate
states will go in the wall spacesgop
potlte the windows. Each window
will be dedicated to a Confederate
state, -and each of these states
will have 112 spaces for “Founders’
Roll” tablets.
“Founders’ Roll” tablets belong¬
ing to U. D. C. chanters and Ladles’
Memorial Associations will go on '
the two end walls, the places of
special honor, and there will be
spaces for 576 of these. Tjsey will
bd'ftwarded without favoritism or
preference to the first U. D. C.
chapters and Ladles' Memorial As¬
sociations which come forward to
take them.
Lining of Tablets.
Thds the whole Interior will be
lined, as it were, with a shining
band of “Founders’ Roll” • tablets
set edge to edge, each tablet bear¬
ing the name and war record of
Burglar* Fear Barking Dogs.
A dog that will bark at an intruder
is «f more use than a powerful fighter,
for a burglar’s nerves when he is on
doty 4 are necessarily taut and the last
thing on earth that Mr. Sykes wishes
to ehconnter is a noise or fight. A
couple of yapping terriers are worth
their weight in gold if. they, are placed
in n good tactical position overnight.
K. of C. Founded In 1882.
The Knights of Columbus, a frater¬
nal and benevolent organization to
which male members of the Roman
Catholic church are eligible, wad
founded lp.1882 In New Haven, Conn.
Ten Years of His Lif# Wasted.
A Frenchman spent ten years of hie
life inventing * noiseless clock. After
he had succeeded, he found that no¬
body would buy a noiseless clock.
People do not hear the steady tick
tick of the old clock on the mantel
shelf, but the moment the clock Is
silent, they miss the familiar noise.
The Staff of Life.
If all the bread the average person
eats in a year were baked In one loaf
it would take three strong men to lift
it and a horse to "pull «. The weight
of the loaf would be 397 pounds.
Odd Kind of Fish. _
No fish Is stranger than the little
sea-horse. It has a body encased Id
rings of bony mail, a horse-shaped
head set at right angles and a pre¬
hensile tail to grasp seaweed In whifflh
It hides. It always floats with its
(jueer head up and erect. Another pe¬
culiar thing about the sea-norse is
that the male fish carries the eggs In a
pouch situated under his tail until the
young are hatched and large enough
to look out for themselves.
Chinese Are Everywhere.
\Vherever one goqp, one finds a Chl
nese. In Chile, in South America, he
labors In the copper mines; In Russia
he acts as executioner for the Bol
shevlks; in London he is a tea mer¬
chant ; in Paris, New York, Chicago,
San Francisco he has an ob'nnn joint;
in the Philippine islands he is a mer¬
chant prince, and all over the world
he is a hiundryman.

large, bearing the names of the
governor or governors of that state
during the war, the state houser of¬
ficers during that period and a sum
mary of the Confederate troops fur

Underneath ea window inside
of the hall will be cut a vault In
the grfmite. In this vault will be
fitted a bronze chest, and in the
chest will be deposited a duplicate
of the Confederate roster of the
Confederate state to which that
window is dedicated. Thus will be
preserved for all time thft names
of all.men who served the Confed¬
