There is a garnet mine in Arizona so rich in gems that the owners some- times say the whole mountain in which it is located is a mountain of garnets. The Apache Indians, near whose reser- vation the mountain stands, have a strange myth concerning the garnets. One night centuries ago, they say, the little daughter of a great chief died. As her spirit passed out, the Indians gathered about saw a multitude of sparks fly up from the tepee and drift- ing through the air in a shining cloud settle on the mountain side, where they ‘shone like star dust, making the moun- tain bright. Later, they declare, the sparks which continued to shine, never growing cold or dead, sank into the earth and became garnets. The Indians believe that the spirit of the chief’s daughter still stands | guard over the mountain and imparts to all the garnets found there talis- manic powers to bring good luck to all who wear them. These garnets are mined now and sold all over the coun- try in rings, necklaces and bracelets for pale-face maids. Many of the gar- net rings are made in swastika design —the Indian good-luck sign—and any who happen to buy one may be sure of prosperous fortune ever afterward. Marriage Customs in the Sudan. In “Sudan Notes and Records,” Mr. W. NichoHs describes a remarkable marriage custom in the Sennar prov- ince which is known as “stealing°®the fire.” On the final night of the fes- tivities the bridegroom goes to the bride’s ‘house escorted by a band of youths bearing torches. These torches can be lit only by fire taken from the bride’s house, and this the relatives of the bride take every possible method to prevent. Some of the bridegroom's friends creep in secretly at night, or a body of them forces its way into the house to carry off the fire. The editor quotes as parallels the custom record- ed by Sir James Frazer (“The Golden Bough,” “The Magic Art,” vol. II, pp. 216-820), in which fire is used as a fertility charm in marriage ritual. But this is not an exact parallel, and, as- suming that the charm is in the inter- est of tne bride, it does not account for the resistance made by her friends when the bridegroom’s party endeav- ors to procure fire from her home hearth. Getting the Most Out of Life. With the growing mind the minutes pass unnoticed. To the stirring soul life is so full of action that the min- utes count only in the total of achieve- ment. For the man of action there is no time for dragging hours. Every minute has its task, and all too fast fly the hours—the minutes scarcely have existence. It is different with the laggard. He waits the passing of time. And time waited for seldom gratifies the loafer. To prove time's worth you have only to crowd the minutes with worth-while efforts and, before you are ready for it, the gong will ring. And every minute well spent lures the toiler into new realms of effort, shortening the minutes and add- ing to their charm.—Grit. Medical. Be Optimistic HERE’S GOOD NEWS FOR BELLE- FONTE RESIDENTS.

Fix Up. i The long war made us sick and ! faint, we had no heart to hump; and so alas, we did not paint the cowshed and the pump; we read long tales of bones and wne, and let our chores to thunder go, and now our houses look as though they should be at the dump. We had no heart to trim the trees, or bear dead cats away, when mighty le- gions, o’er the seas, engaged in bloody fray; and while those legions thunder- ed on, the tin cans gathered on the lawn, with broken dish and demijohn, and heaps of leaves and hay. While still upon the Kaiser’s brow the ty- rant’s crown was seen, we had no heart to groom the cow, or plant the pinto bean; we had no heart to deco- rate the lawn swing and garden gate; we merely stood and railed at fate, and cussed the submarine.
