FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1922.
One of the secrets of a bappy life
lies in the forgetting of the slight
errors in manners, gossip and sean
dals you see and hear. Do your
best to straighten out the puzzles
and wrongs you meet with and then
forget them. Forget all worrieg,
humiliations and cares, great and
small. All these things wear out
heart and brain. Let your mind
and soul be filled with the goodness,
justice and beauty that are in the
world and that are the hope of
heaven. Add lastly, do all you can
to bring sunshine and happiness in
to other lives.
LEESBURG AS SHE IS.
Leesburg is certainly a nice little
town in which to live. Nestled, as
she is, on the banks of the beautiful
ard historic Kinchafoonee and
Muckalee creeks where the
soughing of the pines is ever
heard as they nod their heads
in the cooling breezes, where flowers
geem to ron riot in their beauty and
fragrance, where pure and healthy
air circulates its cheering influences
upon the mhabitants and with an
overflowing cornucopia of nuts and
fruits to cheer us along the decades
of life. We truly have here all
things that go to make up comfort
able and pleasant living.
Leeshurg has dozens of splendid
ly appointed business houses, well
filled with choicest goods in all lines,
where polite and gentel clerks await
the coming of the customers and tu‘
supply their needs.
Three churches, those noble in
stitutions of God. lift their spires
heavenward, pointing, as it were,
to the place to which their doctrinal
training leads. We haye as good
railroad Yacilities as any town ini
the state with 12 passenger trains
daily, and a freight eervice that e
excellent and bringin our commer
cial commodities as well a¢ splen
did people who come to visit us or
are seeking a good location in
which to live and where no one is
granted a permit to die.
A good graded school, large and ‘
splendidly managed is a pride to the
general papulace and an honor and
blessing unto the rising geuneration
that comes under its influences.
We have here water, of medicinal
mineral extraction that is fit for the
the gods to drink. Our water and
lighting system is equal to that of
any other town this #ize. We have
garages, shops and many other
institutions that contribute as factors
to a real good town. Nor must we
forget the job printing office and the
newspaper which wants to be and
will be a factor to a better town.
Of course there are greater things‘l
here than even these, for the popu
lace is one of the best we have ever
known. The organizations of
women, the lodgers are harmoniods
working order and look to but one
thing—the betterment of all hu-
manity.
There may be a few things that
we as a town need. Later we may
make mention of them. At this
time we would just add that [.ees
burgis a good place to live. If
you think not, the invitation is out
to you to come and see for yourself
As a further inducement. we would
say: Leesburg hasa happy ‘‘home,
sweet home’’ where ever the eye
turns occupied by contented mothers
and fathers with the prettiest daugh
ters and the best sons, the sweetest
bouncing babies, and—my, my!
just come over and be a part and
parcel of Leesburg and help us
make it even a better place.
Health, happiness, hume, hope
and heaven are amongthe most | eau
tiful words in the English language.

THE DIVORCE EVIL,
~ “The ministers of our Church
shall be prohibited from rolemnizing
the rights of matrimony between
divoreed persons, except in the case
of innocent parties who have beei,
divorced for the one Seriptural
canse.”—Law of the Methodist
Chureh.
No sadder, do more omnious
condition confronts us than the in
creasing breakdown of home life in
our country. Divorce is rapidly
iucreasing. Marriage in many
instancies has become a mockery—
marriage was instituted by God
Himsell and specifically sanctioned
by our Lord and His inspired
apostles. Many children are grow
ing up who see their parents separ
ated, vet living with other persons to
'whom nominally they are wedded.
If sve'iconditions are not stopped
theywill run to greater ungodliness
and immorality.”’—Part of the Ad
dress of the Bishops to the General
Conference now in session at Hot
Springs, Ark. These are solemn
‘warnings that ought to be heeded
by our people.~Douglas Enterprise
, STREET PROFANITY.
One has only tostand around on
the streets where men are cengre
gated and engaged in conversation
for a very short while to decide that
'we are becoming a nation profane
and vulgar.
Men who indulge in profanity
without regard to the publics wel
fare and who areopenly and without
discretion violating the command
ment ‘‘Thou shalt not take the name
of the Lord thy God in vain’’ are
becoming a veritable nuisence to
those who are of amore refined and
inteligent Jispoeition, especially un
to ladies who are wont to travel on
the sidewalks or streets in this town
and who have to hear the profanity
of those who do not even use com
mon discretion in their conversatios.
Men who are supposed to be men
of intelligenee will promiscously use
profanity in the presence of boys
and children apparently without any
thought as to the example they
should be setting, and not only do
they use profanity but frequently
‘do we hear the coarsest kind of vul
garity being used in the presence of
children. ‘
If it were not a violation of the
laws of the country would it not be
Letter for thoseof us who are thus
80 thoughtless to use more common
decency in expressing our thoughts
one to another?
Let us take note of the kind of
conversation we engage in and try
to be more discieet in our manrer
of expressing ourselves.

WORDS OLD AS HUMAN RACE
Sounds Indicative of What They De.
scribe Were Probably the First
Forms of Speech, .
When your baby first begins to talk,
it uses instinctively the oldest words
in creation, words as old as the hu
man race itself,
They are words whose sound Is an
imitation of what they describe. A
chalr falls over In the nursery.
“Bang!” says baby, just as her great
est great-grandmother sald when her
father dropped his club In the cave
that was their home,
Baby calls the cow a “moo,” because
that 1s the noise it makes. To primi
tive man the cow seemed to say “koo”
—a name that has stuck,
What finer imitation of the crow's
croak could you have than the Greek
word “korax?’ Crow (really corow)
is derived from the same ldea, Hun
dreds of animals—birds, In particular
—retain their ancestral names. The
cuckoo has always been so called;
he named himself,
A whole host of other words de
scribe noises~—crash, slam, thump,
whack, splash, boom, prattle, and so
on. One of the most beautiful of
these is murmur, which means the
sound made by a gentle breeze among
the trees—mur-mur-mur.—Ezchange.
Chief's Position Not Enviable.
The position of chiet of an Indian
tribe In the days when the red man
roamed the western prairles was a
precarious one at the best, according
to the account of Francls Parkman,
Jr., In his “The California and Ore
gon Trall” |
The chief dared not assume any
of the outward aspects of rank, for
tear of incurring the displeasure of
his braves. Many a man in the vil
lage lived better, owned more squaws
and horses, and went better clad than
aid the ¢hief. He must needs ingrati
ate himself with bhis young men by
making them many presents, often
to his own impoverishment.
The happlest chief was he who was
at the head of a large family. With
a group of relatives to avenge him in
event of his murder, his position took
on some semblance of security. One
of the most powerful Dakotah chiefs
was secure in his position by his fam
{ly of 80 stalwart sons.

How Bhe MHelped Mamma.
A teacher at a certain private
school strives to instill fillal devotion
in her puplls. Recently she asked her
class in what way they had been help
ing their parents. Various answers
were given of a more or less to-be
expected nature, till she reached a
little girl who had been casting rather
contemptuous glances at the hum
drum reports, When her turn came
the eyes of the others were fixed on
her as she lives In an opulent home
that boasts a staff of servants, “Well,
Gracle,” the teacher asked, “what
have you been doing to help mamma?”
“Oh, lots,” was the scornful response
of Gracte, “but mostly I go to the
Country club and get cigarettes for
her.”—San Francisco Argonaut, }
Pecullarities of the Whale. .
The whale is able to hold his breath
for a long time, sometimes for 45
minutes, and he is able to open his
mouth under water when eating, be
cause his nostrils connect directly
with his windpipe and not with the
back of his mouth, as in most other
animals. When he comes to the sur
face he blows the air out of his lungs.
It has by this time become so heated
that it forms a column of vapor when
expelled Into the cool air of the sur
face and this is what happens when
he is sald to “spout.” Incidentally
the most famous whale of history—
the one which swallowed Jonah—was
not & whale at all, but is called I 8 the
Bible “a great fish.”

THREE WAYS OF EMBALMING
Methods Followed In Ancient Egypt
Differed According to the Rank
of the Deceased,
There were three different ways of
embalming In old Egypt. The most
magnificent was bestowed only upon
persons of distinguisned rank, When
a person of distinction died the body
was put into a coffin, the upper ex
terlor of which represented the de-'
ceased, with sultable embolllahment.‘
The coffin Itself was usually made of
sycamore wood, which is sald to be
almost incorruptible, Sometimes deal
was used, In which case it was brought
from abroad. The embalming of
the body occupled 40 to 70 days, It
consisted malnly of the Introduction
of astringent drugs and splces into
the body, anointing it with oils of
cedar, myrrh and cinnamon, and sat
urating It with niter, It was then
washed and wrapped in linen bands
dipped In myrrh and gum—these
bands In some instances being 1,000
yards long—commencing at the head
and terminating at the feet, avolding
the face. The hody was then re
stored by the embalmers to the rela
tives, who placed it in the coffin,
A less expensive method of embalm
ing was simply to inject into the bow
els a liquid extract of cedar, and
wrapping up the body In salt and
niter; others were soaked, or as some
think, boiled In a kind of bitumen
made of mixed resinous substances.
They were then placed, without any
other covering than the bandages sat
urated with these substances, In sep
ulchres, and there deposited In rows
by thousands.
PECULIAR FORM OF SEA FOOD
Ghianchetti, Offspring of the Sardine,
Greatly Relished Along Parts of
the Italian Coast.
The Itallans along the Italian Ri
viern are passionately attached to a
form of sea food known as ghian
chettl. Ghianchetti, Kenneth L. Rob
erts explains in the Saturday Evening
Post, are the offspring of the sardine.
They are about one inch in length, and
their bodies are about as robust and
shapely as an ordinary plece of
string. They are transparent and
their eyes are black and disslpated
looking; and when the Italians pile
them in baskets and trays they have
the appearance of lemon jelly full of
fiyspecks—the fiyspecks being the
eyes. The approved method of pre
paring ghianchetti is to roll them into
a ball or a fritter, fry them in olive
01l and eat until either the ghian
chetti or the eater is exhausted.
Every good Italian, however, finds it
hard to resist them in their raw state.
A fisherwoman walking along with a
tray of ghianchettl on her head usual
ly keeps reacliing up in an absent
minded manner, removing half a hand
ful of the little fish from the tray, and
tossing them abstractedly into her
mouth, a dozen or two at a time. When
the ghlanchett! season is at its height,
in February, no two ghianchetti fish
ermen can get into an argament with
each other without spraying each
other with ghianchetti fragments
whenever they begin to shriek with
emotion,
Eleusinian Mysterles.
The Eleusinian Mysteries were an
nual secret religious ceremonies which
wete instituted in Athens more than
1,000 years before Christ. It is un
known who was responsible for their
institution, but it is generally belleved
that they were in honor of Demeter,
the goddess of the harvest, and that
their effect was an exceedingly good
one, Great secrecy was observed,
death being the penalty imposed on
anyone who revealed the nature of
the rites.
They were afterward brought to
Rome where they endured for about
15 centuries, and were abolished by
Theodosfus in 889 A. D. Cicero has
declared in his writings that the
Mysterles tended to premote clviliza
tlon. Their laws were to honor par
ents, to honor the gods with the fruits
of the earth, and not to treat dumb
animals with cruelty.
; Fighting Giraffe,
~ The giraffe has neither claws nor
sharp teeth with which to defend it
self or to attack its enemies, so when
it 18 out of temper with one of its
own kind it does not attempt to dis
embowel its adversary, as a rhinocer
os might, or tear it, as a tiger would.
But nature has given it a long and
pliable neck, which terminates in a
very solid head, and it uses the upper
part of itself ltke a flail, swinging its
neck round and round and bringing its
head down at each swing with a
thump on its antagonist.
The other combatant uses preclsely
the same tactics, and the two animals,
planting themselves as firmly as pos
sible by stretching out all four legsi
to the utmost, stand opposite to each
other and hammer away with their
heads until one or the other has had
enough,
.Truly, Puck Was Right.
A club this writer belongs to has
been ready for a year or more to put
up a new building—but it hasn't.
Three friends have been for over a
year in a position to bulld three new
residences—but they haven't. What's
the trouble? The reader can easily
guess. It's a bit discouraging. God
has given us a beautiful world and we
don’'t know how to run it, any more
than Adam did to run Eden—and we
have several thousand years of ex
perience over Adam, at that. We ought
to be aghamed, lunkheads that we are!
