THE TOOLS NEEDED
There are onl . n few thlngn noce5
rar; to a complete Batik outfit
First A "tjanilng." a little cup
shaped instrument with a handle set
gl right angles to the base on on-
side, and on the other a fine spout
thruu,-h which the hot wax is drawn
by capillary attraction.
Second A fine snble brush, and for
th covering of larger surfaces, one or
two soft hatred varnish brushes.
Third Beeswax with mixture of
white ponffln Is found to be very suc
cessful for most Batik purpo e How

batik) on- p..rt paraffin to five par.

I'lir- beeswax cracks very little and
will stand the hip.best temperature
To complete the outfit one needs
only a large vessel for the dying fluid,
preferably of copper, (the agate or en
amel will work fairly well) and .1 small
agate p:in in which to melt th WOZ.
And then of course the d eg, a glOBfl
spoon, or .-tick for strlrins a good
thcrmom tf r. and rubber glovofl 'o
save th hnnd.
Batik can be done on all k:nds of
materials, cotton, silk, velvet, wool,
t.) god goods or leather. Cotton is rath
er unsatisfactory, however, owing to
the fact that cotton dyes have to be:
boiled, and boiling is not practical'

For the amateur the beot material

have the dye at a higher temperature

PUSSYFOOT RELIGION

BY !K. JAMES L VANCE
The religious pussyfoot Is a creature
whose creed Is rompromls". He is a
ilnt called 'Mr. Softh Softly." He
does not desire to offend anybody. He
worships expediency, and his dexterity
shows Itself In a straddle.
He shivers when the preacher
touches on living Issues. He is afraid
some fat contributor may take offense!
and the gate receipt languish. Ho
I believes In sticking to the "plain,
simple gospel," by which he means to
homlleiical bromide served In medie
val phraseology, and that by no
stretch of the imagination can be ap
plied to present-day or present
world conditions.
He can always be counted on in
the church courts to vote for in-ac-tlon.
His favorite ecclesiastical
phrases are. The way is not clear" '

The Druids used the goldenrod as a

fresh water, and it is still believed
that in skilled hands It can dlacover '
deposits of valuable metals.
USED MEDICINALLY. I
In Queen Klizabeth's time It was
used widely for dressing wounds nnd
cuts. At the present time It Is used
medicinally to relieve nausea and spas
medic A legend 'His the origin of the gol

a little hut near a lake and a grea
pine forest. All day she sat In front or
her little hut weaving baskets but no

No voice, however sweet and low,
Can comfort him or ease tho blow. I
He cannot from his fellow-men j
Tako strength that will sustain him ,
With all that kindly hands will do. (
And ull that love may offer, too,
He must believe throughout tho test
That Ood has willed It for th best.
We who would be his friends are
dumb,
Words from our lips but fcehly come; I
o I el, as we extend our hands.
That one Power only understands I
And truly knows the reason why
So beautiful a soul must die.
We realise how helpless then 1
Are all the Klfls of mortal men.
No words which we have power to say
Can take the sting of grief away
That Power which marks tho spar-
row's fall,
Must comfort and sustain us all.
When sorrow comes, as com tt must,
In God a nian must place his trust.
With all the wealth which h may own
He then must meet the test alone,
And only he may stand serene
Who has a faith on which to lean.
