Although under the altered conditions of modern warfare both officers and men take all the cover they can get, it is still considered "bad form" to ouch when bullets are whistling or shells screaming overhead. This is a survival of the old Crimean days, when men were actually punished for ducking bullets in battle. That the service tradition was not always strictly observed even then, however, is apparent from a story told of a grizzled old veteran who, on being remonstrated with by a young corporal for indulgence in this very practice, replied, "It's all very well for you, mlad, but I'm a family man," and continued to duck at each report. It is on record, too, that Napoleon strongly objected to it, and on one occasion he even went to the length of publicly reprimanding one of his staff officers for stooping over his horse's neck in order to avoid the bails he heard whistling over his head. General Gordon, no mean authority, was of a different opinion, though, Writing in his journal, he says, "For my part, I do not consider judicious ducking to be a fault, for I remember on two occasions seeing shells before my eyes which certainly, had I not bobbed, wound have taken off my head." Needless to say, however, it would be impossible to dodge a modern high velocity projectile in this free and easy fashion. It cannot be seen, and by the time it is heard the danger is past.—London Mail. COMFORT IN THE HOME A Man's Notion of How the Rooms and Things Should Look. A young newly married man complained recently that he almost dreaded taking a friend home to dinner because his wife, every time she expected company, imagined it was necessary to scrub the house from garret to cellar and polish every bit of silver on the sideboard. It made him uncomfortable all day long to think of his wife giving herself this wholly unnecessary trouble. "Of course, a man likes to see his home looking nice when he takes an old chum into it—and of course the chum does too," he said. "But I'd be far happier if I could convince my wife that a house can look tidy even if it hasn't been gone over that very day. "I like the books to look a little disorderly. You get the feeling that they're being read all the time, and that's what books are for. And I like the music on the piano to be a trifle disarranged. It books as if we really sang the songs, and it gives a room that eeyy home feeling that a fellow joves. What if the curtains aren't just even in every window? This is ought to look as if they were ten and were used and enjoyed. If the soft cushions are dented you know someone has leamed a small crack, isn't that what they 'be for?' but if they share an in a plain now you're a brave man if you dare to put your back against them—much less your tired belly. "And when a fellow night he usually has a Irish world." Fry Killers. One recommendation of the department of agriculture for getting rid of flies is powdered in bleach. This when sprinkled on the manure heaps in which the flies lay their eggs down in the larvae and does not in any way harm the manure. The Journal of the American Medical Association says the hygienic laboratory of the public health service has found in salicylic acid an indolent, satisfactory agent for killing adult flies. This it says, is not an objectionable substance to handle, and there is little danger of toxic effects from accidental consumption of on-blocable doses of it. A lower cure solution of salicylic acid should be sweetened and left in shallow saucers where flies will easily find it. "Crossing the Bar" Lord.

Proper breathing is one of the great bile factors in promoting and retaining good health. It is so great number of yeers since the subject of deep breathing has emerged not only the attention of physicians, but trainers of athletes and the public generally. Recent authorities give special emphasis to the efficacy of deep breathing for a stimulates and for children and young adults who are predisposed to tuberculosis. Professor Arnold Hiller in the Berlin Clinical Weekly notes that it increases the passage of blood through the liver, that it increases the secretion and excretion of bile that the stung b is when filled with food may likewise be favourably influenced because the movement of the stomach contents through the pylori is facilitated. "Deep breathing," says the New York Medical Record, "is the most scientific resource for the prevention of tense held disease. One must begin with direct immediate breathing, which naturally precedes rib breathing. The inflammatory movements are now slowly increased until all the number involved in rib benthic animals finally participate. One tries with three daily periods of fifteen to twenty minutes each. The position of the breather is immaterial. He may also rib forced breathing while standing or walking. "In some individuals a very deep breath appears to arrest the pulse because of the compression of the subclavian artery; hence inspiration should be limited to a certain number per minute." HOW MODERN SHIPS SINK. Times When Water Tight Bulkheads Are a Mistake to Life Nearly every class or design of vessel sinks in a particular way. For instance, the oak type of single bottom steamer, with few or no bulkheads—that is, in the modern sense of the term—almost invariably founders on more or less of its own level, which means that it is indisputable and not with its bow or stern up in the air. This is accounted for by the fact that at whatever point the water may enter it practically thins its own level, as there are no such limits to construct it. Now, in the case of a modern vessel, which is built, with numerous subdivisions, it invariably happens that she founders with her flow or stem high on of the water or else she sinks with a heavy list, or enters on one side or the other. The reason for this is that the builtbends are worn the water which enters the vessel, thus damaging its level. Consequently, when one particular portion of the water is lost of water, while the remainder is practically water tight, that part is in the water buon inside that own water buon inside that own water weight. It is for this reason that an important loss of life frequently occurs in modern shipwrecks. Given to the ocean even fishing it is often fatal if you hit to lower the majority of the boats, as they would fall over the water - London Answers. Church Theater. Few people know that plays in England, Germany, Italy and France were fostered for religious purposes by the church centuries before they were taken up as a separate secular business. Moreover, few visitors to St. Paul's cathedral, in London, realize that the church is during Elizabeth's reign and the first years of the reign of James I set aside one of its adjacent buildings for use as a secular theater. As little stage was famous, and the company of choir boys as actors presented many of the great plays of Shakespeare's time. They acted from about 1598 to 1600 under the management of Edward Pierce, their great master in music who, as church almoner, had business-control of these adjacent buildings owned by the church—London St. Paul's.

Not a great many years ago a spectated and scientific old scientist wrote a long article in which he claimed that the world's great discoveries all lay in the past, that the future had no new wonders to disclose and that all the really fundamental inventions, discoveries and researches had already been made. "For," said the pessimistic philosopher, "there are no more strange lands to explore, no more conceivable inventions for the benefit of mankind. The telegraph, electric light, telephone and electric motor are already here. The camera and microscope, telescope and lionotype, printing press and sewing machine, airship and steamboat are already discovered. What else is there left that is really new?" But Mother Nature seemed to have kept her most wonderful secrets for just such an occasion. As if deliberately to disprove the foolish scientist the next ten years brought out the most astounding collection of new inventions and discoveries the world has ever known for, in the period immediately following the bold claim of this doubling 'Thomas', Hertz discovered electric waves, Marconi invented wireless telegraphy, Roentgen stumbled upon the X ray, Mine, Curie isolated radium, Sir William Ramsay found five new chemical elements, Edison made his first moving picture machine, the Wright brothers conquered the nf, and countless greater or lesser discoveries astounded the scientific world. So the seven great wonders of today will become the commonplaces of to morrow-J. S. Newman in St. Nicholas. MOST COMPLEX ART IS MUSIC In the Key of "C" Alone There Are 382 Distinct Scales. With 382 separate and distinct scales in the key of C alone, it is no more than natural that the realm of harmony should be considered as infinite. Yet few laymen are familiar with this, according to Carl W. Grimm of Cincinnati, speaking on "The Realm of Scales." Mr. Grimm lamented the ignorance of the millions who persist in the contention that music is no longer susceptible of a single original note—that in a short time no new tunes will appear because every possible variation will have been made use of. "No, great composer"—Mr. Grimm paused a moment and then repeated by way of emphasis "no really great composer. I say, has yet complained that the resources of music have been exhausted. The present day composer fails to realize that any scale may be turned into a monstrosity through improper treatment, which explains the great majority of our popular music. Styles are not the product of imaginative inspiration; each must be considered as a scientific achievement, and its pitch should be carefully and exactly determined through the application of certain fixed laws which form the backbone of all true music." Mr. Grinn made it clear that music instead of being the most primitive has evolved into the most complex art known to twentieth century civilization—New York Post. Farm Doya Fill the Pulpits If you are a salesman there is little chance your son will become a minister, while if you are a farmer the chances are the best, and if you are a minister the chances are the next best. That conclusion results from the statistical table prepared after investigation by the Association of American Colleges. Thirty-three per cent of all ministers at least in the northern states where the statistics apply—came from the homes of farmers and 18 per cent from the homes of ministers. Other vocations furnish the following per cent of candidates for the ministry: Physicians, 2 per cent; clerical workers, 1 per cent; carpenters, 5 per cent; merchants and laborers, each 8 per cent; all other vocations, 20 per cent.—Chicago Tribune.

Of all the books we have read, "Love for the Battle-torn Peoples," written by Jenkin Lloyd Jones, is supreme. He is a lover and a brother of the peoples of the world. His vision is clear, logic sublime, thoughts supernal. If the divine little thing could be made the world's school book, with the best of teachers to explain it in the spirit was written, universal love would own and unite us all. By all means read the book. Every man of us is the architect of his own fortune, every woman the master of her own destiny. We cannot hide our failures—whether moral or spiritual or material; whether individual or of race—behind the lame excuse of prejudice or discrimination. Then why choose to root and dig in the filth-heaps of earth? Why not lift high the head and looking out upon the great universe say, "all this is mine. Knowledge is a broad ocean; the ship of my mind shall sail to its farthest shore. Power is the gift of the spirit; I will subdue my body and obtain it. Above all other ambitions, I will stand for a man, real man; I will stand for a woman, a noble woman, and will make the best of my life." Once take that position, and you will soon learn that there is no limit to the possibility of what you can accomplish as an individual; there are no bounds to what we can achieve as a race. OUR DADDY-BASTARD PRINCIPAL. If the Pioneer Press had such people in power to reason with as mayor Preston, of Baltimore, and governor Stanley of Kentucky, by far a better crop of girls and boys would bless this community. Mayor Preston contends and justly, that what Baltimore needs to do is to help get her colored people out of the allies, make their schools the best, and give them fair chances in life—guaranteeing in the long run it will benefit Baltimore as much as it will them. Under equal conditions wouldn't the same be true of Martinsburg? Our school has been shamefully disgraced. Why build a $20,000 school house and keep in it as principal Fred R. Ramer, the recent father of a bastard child, whose mother named it Inez Ramer? The charge in writing over the signature of J. R. Clifford was made and given the board of education and said Clifford came a hundred miles over mountains in an automobile to meet the said board and prove the preferred charges. Not a word was said anent the charges. Coming to the reelection of teachers and thinking the matter might have been forten I arose and made my wants to them known. Without a word on they went and the bastard-father was reelected. I took the girl, Lillie Smith, to be about 15 years old. I did not know her. Had never spoken to her till the evening she came to my house to employ me to make Ramer support his child. Next day she came to justice J. H. Lloyd's office, swore the child to Ramer; that he had given her $50,00 to deny it, and sent her with Dr. Gray to the Freedman's Hospital to born the baby out of this state, but, as she was to be consigned to the free insted of the pay ward, the poor thing came back to Kearneysville, and gave birth to her baby. Two days later at night, Ramer, backed by his fox-like-yelping-ventriloquistic-2x4-lawyer, Dan Snyder with Lillie Smith, her sister, Will Marshall and two other men came to Justice Lloyd's office and practically compelled the childmother to swear I forced her to swear to a lie and it was so published over this state. And on Ramer's next pay day the same Will Marshall took Lillie Smith and trunk to the B.& O. Station at midnight, checked her baggage to Atlantic City, and she has never returned. Judging from press reports and a batch of letters, it is gratifying to us that Dr. F. F. Martyn, formerly pastor of the Dudley Baptist Church, has, about captured the Nation's Capitol. On all sides it seems to be admitted, that no man of the race has ever held such a grip on the city and so influenced as he did here, its religious and civic life. He has preached in the largest churches of all denominations and lectured before the most exclusive organizations of the Capitol. And this inspite of the fact that some of the low scandal-mongers of Martinsburg deliberately sent to Washington some well known persons who tried to discredit Dr. Martyn and reflect against his character. But the distinguished gentleman straightway placed the matter in the hands of the District Attorney, with instructions to send the detractors to jail, and now all the 2x4 preachers who combined to down him are on the run, while Dr. Martyn is sought after by the social standing and intelligence of the city. Last Sunday, he preached twice, before vast crowds, in the largest church in the city—the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. He is booked to preach the annual sermon for the Elks on Easter Sunday, and will conduct special services Sunday afternoons, at the Y. M. C. A. during April. The Pioneer Press wishes him all the success he deserves. While here he was foully lied on and his record was clean as the book of Job. We are continually complaining at our condition; yet we are ourselves responsible for our condition. Responsibility is measured by power; hence the question arises, have we the power to change conditions? Wrapped up in this question is the hope of our betterment, the future of our race. Have we the power? Let us take a moment to inspect the camp and review our forces. We have numbers, ten millions of people. Place this force in the hands of an honest leader, a solid unit, a concrete mass, and he can hurl it with sufficient effect to break down any obstacle. Did not little David, with a chosen stone and a well handled sling bring to earth the giant Goliath? Did not little Japan, in our day, with a small but disciplined army, skilfully led, put to route the hosts of colossal China, and later force mighty Russia to her knees? One shall chase a thousand and two put ten thousand to flight. We have money-property to the value of over a billion dollars. Money can do many things; has its uses. Of course, in the making of the world better, in the increasing of conscience, in the development of character, it counts not at all. The hurt of the race cannot be poulticed by money. The moral progress of the race cannot be aided by money. Truth cannot be advanced or retarded by money. The only power that can hurt or help the race is man power. But money has its uses and is a valuable accessory. We have the intelligence. Brians govern this country; and may the time never come when brains will not govern it, for they ought to. But even brains may be perverted and govern the classes and not the masses—govern the greatest good of the greatest number; but figure that the greatest number is "Number One." And the way in which we can compel the brains to listen and attend to us,—actually to concentrate the intellectual power of the country upon us, is by gathering together our brains, no matter whether it be on a social or political or industrial basis, and saying to the nation: "We too have brains; we will fight fire with fire." That we have not measured up to our responsibility and justified our power is due wholly to our lack of unity and our failure to organize our forces. There can be no question as to our ability to do anything, everything we are really resolved to do. We have numbers, wealth and intelligence, and ought to have a great moral purpose. If responsibility is measured by power, then the responsibility of the Negro is as wide as the continent, as deep as our needs, as high as our aspirations, and as solemn as the judgment day. Our race is full of talkers. There is too much said and too little done. These talkers busy themselves in continually denouncing and opposing. Like the physicians, they study our disorders, not our normal condition. Both the doctors of the body politic and the doctors of the physical body go as our disorders wrong end to. We want to be healthy; we don't want to be diseased. Yet the chief energy of physicians is devoted to the disease end and not to the health end. The great body of physicians and medical scientists spend their life in a study of our disorders. They are always chasing germs and hunting symptoms. The average doctor has nothing to do with you until you fall sick. The general public looks upon the man who advocates hygiene, proper diet, exercise and deep breathing as more or less of a crank. But the man who knows sixteen kinds of stomach trouble and seventeen families of germs by name is decorated with medals and worshipped as a demi-god. Like the Irishman who said he took so much medicine that he was sick a long time after he got well, we are drugged into more ills than flesh is naturally heir to. Clean up the dirty places, give the people livable homes, demand proper sanitation, and teach the young the truth about their bodies, and you will create more health than ever the pill dopers can create. What is true of bodily health is equally true of racial health. We want action, not discussion. We want exercise, not pathology. We don't want everlasting tinkering with our economic disorders. we want coaching in racial health culture—then go out and play the game. We don't want denouncers, we want builders. We don't want talkers, we want doers. One of the greatest needs of this community is that we elevate our moral standard—especially the mor- al standard of our women. No race can rise any higher than the level of its women. Our women are affectionate, companionable and full of feeling three traits which, directed into legitimate channels, would make her the equal of any wife and mother on earth; three traits, which directed into illegitimate channels, have made her instead the common prey of our manhood, and a plaything to be used and thrown aside when the novelty has worn off. As a result, she loses her self-respect and forfeits the respect of mankind. The first impulse will be to deny this; so there is enough of, at least, superficial chivalry in every man to defend the honor of women. An eminent Frenchman has said: "T vention of man." On first thought, that sounds like the natural disparagement of a Frenchman, whose own standard of morality is none too high. On second thought, it carries with it a degree of truth and conviction. The average man would shield the street-walker who is leading him to the place of assignation. He feels in honor bound to do so while she is under his masculine wing of protection. But in his heart, he knows who and what she is. And so the average man proclaims the honor of the many apparently respectable women and girls in school, shop, home and domestic service. But in the secret of his soul he figures that she has her price, sets about to learn it, and is prepared to pay it. And the sacred name of wife, mother, sister, daughter, presents no barrier. The result is that our moral standard is supposedly high, while our moral conduct is in reality low. The bill strikes twelve, while the hands point to six. There is something wrong with the moral works. You can't maintain a double moral standard and have the clock of society works right. A clock has wheels large and small, some going fast and some going slow; but there is only one mainspring. Society is made up of men, women, boys and girls, of different temperaments and tendencies; but there can only be one standard, and that is chastity. The creation of the first woman—Eve, from the rib of the first man—Adam, may be only an allegory; but it illustrates a divine truth. Woman was not taken from man's head, to be his superior; nor from his feet, to be trampled under foot and toyed with; but from his side, that she might be his equal, from under his arm, that he might protect her; from near his heart, that he might honor and reverence her. And until she is protected and honored and reverenced, the home cannot exist in fact, instead of in name; and any tyro knows that the home is the foundation of the race.

Nothing is more of a help to clear thinking than careful speech. Very often we discover a flaw in our logic when we attempt to put it into words; observes the Irish World. But sometimes we really have ideas, though we experience difficulty in expressing them. People of sympathetic natives are frequently dumb in the presence of sorrow. Some who are very intelligent are so silent and diffident that nobody ever gets the benefit of their bright ideas. A recent poet has intimated that for the deep things of life language is altogether inadequate; but, however that may be, it is the principal means at present by which human beings get close together. We learn to talk, as we say, in the first few years of life, and some of us get very little beyond that start in babyhood. We can talk for what we want to eat and drink, but we are unable to express sympathy tactfully and gracefully. We have a great many ideas that we never try to put into words, because we feel that we do not know the right words. We have not really learned to talk while we remain silent regarding the things which mean most to us. NEGLECTED CHILDREN. If There Were Fewer of Them There Would Be Less Crime. A St. Louis judge recently made the statement in an address delivered before a local bar association that "if one-fourth as much as is spent for keeping up our courts, Jails, poorhouses and paupers was applied to help neglected city children make a proper start in life the high tide of crime surely would decrease." This is a remarkable statement to make; but, coming from the source it does, it is worthy of consideration of all philanthropic men and women. Had the speaker made his statement more general and applicable to the country as well as to the cities it would all the same be worthy of credence. The life of every one depends largely upon the start made. There are those who are started right and then depart from the straight but narrow path, but they are the exception and not the rule. Thousands of little unfortunate may be said to be born criminals, the offspring of criminal parentage. If not so born they are so bred. But it is true, as said by this St. Louis judge, that if a benevolent and righteous public would deal with the problem as it might there would be less crime and fewer criminals. — Knoxville Journal and Tribune. Our Public Health Service. In the fields of preventive medicine and in all matters in which the public health is concerned the public health service does work which is not only unsurpassed but unequaled in any country of the world. This is recognized and fully appreciated in Europe, and recently in one of the chief medical journals of Europe high praise was given to the service for the extremely valuable information with regard to disease and preventive medicine which was disseminated by the agency of its bulletins and other publications. In fact, the United States public health service is unique and is an institution of which this country has every reason to be proud. It remains as an ever ready foundation upon which to erect the department of public health whenever congress shall see fit to establish it.-Medical Record. Guossing a Star: Mira, the wonderful star in the constellation Cetus (the Whale), stands foremost among those variable stars which have produced so much guesswork. Besides the theory that its even months' variations are due to the flickering up and down of gas, it has been conjectured that this distant sun is subject to particularly acute sun spots, that its obscurations are due to eclipse by huge planets revolving round it and even, according to Maupertuis, that it is not spherical in shape, as other heavenly bodies are, so that we see it sometimes in sections, sometimes in plane. Occasionally, as in 1780 and 1839, it has blazed up actually to first can'tude, while from 1672 to 1675 it appeared altogether.—Boris Tchaikovsky of little girls. The speech was great.

The Large and Puzzling Part "Man Failure" Plays In Them. Close observers are not astounded by the statement made at a "safety" meeting that 10 per cent only of industrial accidents are due to mine failures, the remaining 90 per cent being wholly chargeable to "man failure." Students, however, will not be satisfied with the simple statement, but will want to know something more, especially as to conditions that contribute to its applity to have percentage charged directly to the court. It will not do to say that in each instance wanton carelessness is blameable. Psychologists are no longer content with that explanation, but are going deeper into the causation of accidents, seeking to determine just why the normal mental processes at times break and the interrupted co-ordination between brain and body ends in disaster. In the matter of interpreting railway signals, for example, it has been set up that registered impressions vary as to individuals and that likewise individuals react in different ways to the impressions given. Emergencies invariably arise in the operations of modern industry similar to those in the transportation service, and, while the safety device may work with mechanical accuracy, the human factor cannot be depended upon.— Omaha Bee Similarity Contractor—Then you won't sell me a carload of bricks on credit? Dealer—No; me an' my bricks are very much alike—we're hard pressed for cash.—Boston Transcript. Imagination causes more aches and pains than all other ailments.—Babcock. Horse Chestnuts. Certain chemists are endeavoring to adapt the horse chestnut to the human dietary. The nuts are more than half starch and sugar, with some proteid and fat, and are nutritious. Their value chiefly depends on the elimination of the bitter elements and the irritating saponin-like glucosides. Getting the Air. I have known city men, hundreds of them, who had a firm conviction that one of the greatest obstacles in their way to becoming healthy lay in the fact that city air has less ozone in it than the air up state or at the seashore. True, the air down by the sidewalks would not assay as high in ozone as that in the Catskill mountains, but the difference chemically is so slight that it isn't worth talking about.—Dr. L. R. Welzmiller in World's Work. A Bird Joker. A most surprising Australian bird is the kookooburra, or laughing jackass. All at once in the quiet bush come loud peals of uproarious, mocking laughter. One is not inclined to join in the merriment—it all seems as foolish and weird as if an idiot boy were disturbing a congregation in church. When the source of the laughter is located it turns out to be a silly looking bird, with clumsy, square body and open mouth, sitting unconcernedly on a stump. — National Geographic Magazine. Getting Bald. "Mr. Sorrell proposed to me, mother." "And you accepted him, I hope." "No, mother. I could never love a man with red hair."

He alluded to my last book as utter rot."—Louisville Courier-Journal Contentment gives a crown where fortune hath dented it.-Ford. Call "Girls!" and those of sixty look up just as quickly as those of sixteen. New York Sun. --- High Cost of Living Problem. Every legislative body would do well to consider ways and means of increasing agricultural production and of utilizing farm products which now go to waste as a step toward solving the high cost of living. Science alone can solve the problem, and no time should be lost in setting science at the task. Some of the best brains in the country are studying agricultural economics. More should be employed in the same manner at once. We must find some way to increase the yield of food products, not only per person, but man, and we must try to till material which now goes to waste. Chicago Journal. THE HINDU DAY OF LIGHT. A Festival That Turns India Into a Sort of Fairyland. There is one day in the year which is celebrated as a great festival by the Hindus of India, and the natives are even allowed to gamble upon this occasion. The great day is Devali—the Day of Light—which is dedicated to the Hindu god Ram in celebration of his coronation. Then sunset onward on this day the native banners throughout India resemble fairyland, for outside the house or shop of every true Hindu are placed numerous little lamps of a very primitive construction. They consist merely of small shallow, transparent bowls, about the size of a saltcelar, filled with oil in which a wick is floated. The number of lamps varies with the financial standing of the householder, the wealthier natives displaying them by the hundred. According to the tradition, he who displays the greatest number of lights will become exceedingly rich, for on this night Lakshaml, the goddess of wealth, is supposed to wander abroad and enter wherever there are sufficient lights to catch her fancy. Another method of enticing the unsuspecting goddess consists of placing in a bowl filled with milk and rice a cluster of pretty flowers. The Hindu believes that to present a friend with flowers is to wish him or her happiness; hence the offering of flowers to Lakshaml.—Pearson's Weekly. MUSICAL TRAINING. It Should Have a Place In the Education of Every Child. We shall make no real progress in music in this country, says Bruno Huhn, until we come to consider a training in the rudiments of music as an essential point in the education of our children. Too often parents excuse their remissness on the ground that their children show no spontaneous desire to study music. Because a child shows no such desire to study reading, writing and arithmetic do we for that reason permit him to neglect totally these subjects? No normal child desires to study any subject, and a failure on the part of a child to crave a musical education should not be permitted to exempt him from such training. In my opinion the average child should begin to study music at the age of eight or nine and for at least two years devote an hour a day to the exercise of it. After two years the child's preference and aptitude may safely be consulted in regard to further study. But in any event the two years of study have not been wasted, for he has already learned something that will be of use to him all his life. Musical training, especially in the home, should have a place in the education of every child—Exchange. Widowed Birds. The married life of most birds could be taken for a model by members of the human family. For instance, the staid, dignified and homely baldheaded eagle never mates but once and lives with his one mate until he or she dies. If left a widower—even a young widower—the baldheaded eagle never mates again. He remains alone and disconsolate in the nest of the rocky crag or in the branches of a tall pine that formed his domicile while his mate was alive. No other female eagle can tempt him to forsake his desolate life. With him once a widower, always a widower. The golden woodpeckers live in a happy married state, mating but once. If the male dies his mate's grief is lasting, and she remains a widowed bird the rest of her life. Thrift Maxims Nothing waste, nothing want. Thrift is an antidote against anxiety for the future. Thrift deals with the present day and plans for the future days. Thrift acquaints itself with true values and keeps tab on expenditures. Neither minute gains nor even small losses are underrated by the thrifty. To postpone to afternoon what should be done in the morning is thriftlessness of management. An Architectural Gem. Claude Perrault was one of the rare geniuses who turned from the profession of medicine to that of art. He was born in 1613, being the brother of Charles Perrault, the noted barrister, through whose influence he became architect of the Louvre in Paris. The colonade of this building, which he erected, is regarded as one of the finest creations of its kind of the seventeenth century. Microns. "The real object of mirrors," said Mr. Pinkerton, "is to enable women to see themselves as others see them." "No," remarked his friend, Mr. Atkelby; "I think they were invented so that women could make themselves look as they wanted others to see them!"—London Globe.

Stake your bank roll that Saved Girl's Life "I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have received from the use of Thedford's Black-Draught," writes Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky. "It certainly has no equal for la gripe, bad colds, liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught saved my little girl's life. When she had the measles, they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford's Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no more trouble. I shall never be without in my home." For constipation, indigestion, headache, clooseness, malaria, chills and fever, billiousness, and all similar ailments, Thedford's Black-Draught has proved itself a safe, reliable, gentle and valuable remedy. If you suffer from any of these complaints, try Black-Draught. It is a medicine of known merit. Seventy-five years of splendid success proves its value. Good for young and old. For sale everywhere.

Grayfish as a Food. It used to be called the dogfish and was looked upon as a worthless nuisance. Now, through the efforts of Uncle Sam's bureau of fisheries, it is called the grayfish and is in great demand as a valuable food product. The grayfish contains a little less protein and a little more fat than the salmon, but in digestibility, richness and wholesomeness it equals, if it does not exert many of our popular fish foods. One interesting result of the analysis tharfer made by the government is that the grayfish is entirely free from uric acid, which is not true of meats, poultry or other fishes. Willing to Bear It.

EXPENSIVE FISHING. Why the Angler Dressed in Oilskine Was tas bike. An ardent fisherman was President Cleveland, aud a writer in the New York Stin says of him that he enjoyed angling for the fish that would not Hite quite as much as he did for those thet would. While fishing one day, dressed in oilskins and a slouch hat. he Was addressed by an angler garbed in the height of piseatorial fashion with: “Hello, boatman! You've certainly sola good eateh, What will you take for the fish?" “Em not selling them,” replied the man in oilskins, “Well.” continued the persistent an- sler, “what do you want to take me cut lishing tomorrow 7" Mr. Cleveland, who was plainty e- Joylag the joke, replied: “1 evict ay engagement except by tie se. Will you give me as miuch as 1s last years" “You're a sharp fellow,” replicd the angler, “but a geod fisherman, sd} aecept your terms, What did J mule last year’s" “Oh.” replied Mr, Clevelan.!, a thotsand dollars a week! 4. president of the Cnited States.” Strength of the Condor.
