SST OR many years now, Goodyear Tire prices have been kept consist- ently lower than the average price level for all commodities, as you see from the above chart. At the same time, Good- ear quality has heen consistently bettered. Today, Goodyear Tire prices are lower than in 1914, and Goodyear quality is the highest ever. This is a good time to buy Goodyears.

Among Titles That Are Used, “I well recall the name of the Church of the ‘Holy Zebra,’ as ap- plied te All Souls’ Unitarian church, Fourth avenue and Twentieth street, New York,” writes William R. Ham- ‘mond, in the New York Herald. “I | Temember hearing the term applied as | far back as the time when that great apostle of Unitarianism, the late Rev, Dr. Henry W. Bellows, presided with all the gift of his eloquence and scholarship over All Souls’ patriotic | and influential congregation. | “Brooklyn, too, had a Unitarian ‘ church that was always known, in ad- | dition to Its regular name, as the | ‘Church of the Holy Turtle,’ an ap- pellation unquestionably bestowed on it on account of the squatty look of the church edifice. Brooklyn also had for years a Methodist Episcopal church edifice known as the ‘Helpot,’ because the Brooklyn girls went fish- Ing there for beaux, Another Brook- lyn church, an exceedingly influential and at that time wealthy Brooklyn congregation, was known as the ‘Church of the Holy Ice Cream Freez- er.’ The shepherd of the flock in question, to those who had the ines- timable privilege of knowing him, was @ most generous, charitable and lov- able man. The congregation itself, however, was inclined to be coid, offish and to take to itself the publish- ers’ term ‘all rights reserved.’ Hence the origin of the nickname.” STANDS GUARD IN RIVER “Soldier of the Bronx,” In Faded Blue, Has Kept Thirty- Year Vigil. South of the new bridge that spans the Bronx river at Gun Hill road, the Soldier of the Bronx still maintains the solitary vigil in the river. If the inscription of 1893 on his pedestal is authentic he has been on duty 80 years. The blue has almost faded from his military cloak, leaving bare the graying wood. The figure is a life-size replica of a Civil war soldier. It stands on a stone pedestal in the shallow waters of the Bronx river. The stream is narrow at the spot and one can ap- proach close to the statue from either bank, Speculation as to the reason for the statue’s existence and position in the river has given rise to several legends. Probably there is a bit of truth in each, According to one ac- count a wood carver who lived in a cottage with rear garden extending to the water’s edge set the statue in the river as a distinctive touch to mark his place. Whatever his origin th® Soldier of the Bronx stands in the river through time and the works of the parkway commission have changed the section roundabout. The weather has rough. ened his contours a bit, but neverthe less he remains at his solitary post.— New York Times, May Blossom, The May blossom is the subject of some curious superstitions., Both the black and white thorn are said to be descended from the thorn of India, which, being sprung from lightning, is not only immune from danger in a thunderstorm, but possesses many magical gifts, a recent writer tells us. The leaves from it are? believed by many people to be a cure for all cases of inflammation, while a bough of blossoms hung at the door Is safe guard against witches, but the blos- som should not be taken into the house lest it bring disease with it. Many old countryinen will not cut down a hawthorn bush, They do not know why, though actually they are perpetuating an old belief that the bush is sacred, because from it the crown of thorns was made. The Advance Guard, A Scottish minister in a country parish, whose post was very unremun- erative, was promoted to the more desirable one of chaplain to a prison In a large town. This caused annoy- ance to his congregation, as they had considerable difficulty in finding a successor. However, the minister re- fused to give up his appointment, and in consequence there was a good deal of ill-feeling between himself and his parishioners, They showed their re. sentment in many ways, but the min- ister waited patiently until the time arrived for him to preach his fare- well sermon. Then he chose as his text: “I go to prepare a place for you.” Minerals of Maine, It is interesting to recall that at one place tm Maine, Catherine Hill of Franklin, Hancock county, there has been found every known mineral and some that, until discovered there, were unheard of. Very few people in Maine today know that there is tin in the state and that at one time a tin mine was in operation here. Such is the fact. This mine was located in the town of Winslow. That was a good many years ago, but the shaft of he mine is still to be seen-—Portland Press-Herald. No Encore Wanted. “And,” concluded the Sunday school teacher, “if you are a good boy, Tom- my, you will go to heaven and have a | gold crown on your head.” | “Not much,” sald Tommy. “I had j one of those tings put on a tooth once.” - —< HOW: THER WORLDS BREAKFAST COFFEE IS GOT RHADY.—Pre- eminently Brazil is the lund of the coffee tree, What corn and cotton are to our nation, coffee and rubber are to Brazil. Es- pecially does the aromatic berry predominate among her products. She fills the coffee cup of the world. Jahu, in the coffee* re- gion of Brazil, is some 400 miles from Rio de Janiero, over a good railway. By the time one reaches Jahu he is likely to find that he has been transformed into a red man, for he is powdered from head to foot, very likely, with the reddish dust of the re- gion, the dust of the soil which the coffee tree especially de lights in. In most lands people simply drink coffee, but in Brazil, es- pecially in the coffee districts, people, as well, talk coffee and dream coffee. The prosperity of the region depends altogether upon the yield of the coffee berry. My friend, Colonel Feraz of Jahu, kindly invited my daugh- ter and myself to visit his fa- zenda or coffee farm. After a few miles, we seemed to be coming into a vast forest of uniform trees, about twelve feet high, with leaves somewhat resembling those of our edible chestnut, and with a rather dense and bushy growth. AS we entered this forest my friend said to me in a modest way, “These are my trees,” and we found that as far as our eyes could reach, up hill and down dale, this forest extended. “How many trees have you?” we asked, and he answered, as though stating a very ordinary and commonplace fact, “About 430,- 000." In May these trees are cov- ered with red berries which con- trast beautifully with the glossy green leaves, glowing like rubies in their dark setting. The berries are about the size of a Cape Cod cranberry, and.of the same color, but these are their only resem- blances. Under the outer, husk of red is a sweetish pulp, and within that, the hard berry of commerce, The berries, which at first are green, turn red and finally dark when they are ripe, until almost black. When they are ripe the berries are shaken off the trees, then gathered from the ground by other workers, and poured by the ton into a vast coffee mill, which, Nowever, does not grind them, but cracks the hull. This is blown away by a strong current of air, while the imprisoned berries drop to the bottom and are then sorted automatically by passing over a perforated screen, Then, by another set of ma- chinery, thee sorted berries are put into bags each of which holds 182 pounds. These are sent by rail to the port of Santos or perhaps Rio de Janiero, whence they are shipped, after passing through the hands of many middlemen, to every city, town and village, tanch and camp in North America, for Bra- zil has almost a monopoly of the world’s coffee trade.—Rev, Dr. Francis E, Clark, in Christian Herald. eee ee How Trees Foretell Weather. On the Berkeley estate, Gloucester- shire, England, are two or three elms which foretell the weather each spring. Regular observation of the leaves has been kept for years, and it has been found that when the color of the leaf has been an ordinary green, like that of their sisters around them, the sum- mer has been invariably wet. Some years It has come out quite white, and on each occasion a dry season has followed. This time the leaf is quite white, with only a few green ones here and there, and the interpretation is, therefore, that there will be little wet this summer. Last year April and early May were exceedingly dry, but the tree’s superabundance of green leaves correctly foretold the stormy times of later May and the rest of the summer months. How Paper Folls Forgers. A safety paper recently designed for banking purposes has for its ob- ject the prevention of all efforts to change a check after it has once been made, Check-ralsing is one of the hardest things that the banking people have to contend against and it is made impossible with this paper, which is covered with a minute design which looks like nothing in particular until some effort is made to erase and no matter how this is attempted the word VOID will appear as if by magic to call attention to the effort at ma- nipulation. How President Lost His Clothes. John Quincy Adams, his gon and his steward, Antoine, set off one morning to cross the Potomac, which at this time extended to the White House grounds, They took off their clothes in the boat, intending to dive and swim in the river. A sudden gust of wind blew practically all the garments down the river. The steward, with very few clothes, returned to the White House, while President Adams waited “In gnat-bitten misery" for two hours hidden fn the bushes, This fs recorded im President Adams’ diary, and marked for complete house Monday.
