SEE LIFE IN FULL.
Farsightedness and nearsight-
edness are both defects in human
eyesight. The same rule obtains
ia daily Eving. The man who looks
forever into the far future does not
sce his nearest duty, and the man
who sees only his daily routine
close about him cannot advance
towerd larger things. To “see life
steadily and see it whole” should
be each man’s endeavor.

Mount Ephraim three times each. In
Bedfordshire there is n Calvary Wood

‘Wbe Into Dr. Warten cf Csentes ecm!
mary mays, tm bis notes en Matthew,
feat the immedlats ovarian ef the
Gstermination hy the Jewih rulers to
put Christ te dsath was His relation
t> the Sabbath. Christ etatmed that
the Jewish mation were His people;
that as Sum of Man He was greater
than their greatest king. greater than
the temple, greater than the sacrifices,
greater than the Sabbath: that ull
these were ordained for the sake of
redemption, that God might through
them show mercy; that Hin object was
to give, not te receive, and that neces-
sarily the Redeemer was gieater than
all the means of redemption.
‘The Jowish Sabbath was the one pe-
cnliar and distinctive ordinance of the
nation. It wus the Jewish national
flag. If the mation is to be deprived
of its distinction from other nations,
what is tho use of being God's-people?
Pride, self righteousness, arrogance,
had taken possession of them. Incar-
nate love was in their midst doing its
mighty works, and they thought -it
was Satan.
‘They did not know heaven from hell,
sin from holiness, God from the devil.
Thelr case was hopeless. The nation
wasdoomed. Yet He was slow to cast
them off. Ephraim was joined to {dols,
Israel would not frame her doings to
turn unto her God, yet His cry was,
“How shall I give thee up?” (Hos. tv,
17; v, 4; x1, 8)
As He said in the parable of the un-
fruitful fig tree, “Let it alone this year
also till [ @hall dig about it and dung
it, and if it bear fruit, well, and, if
not, then after that thon shalt cut it
down” (Luke xill, 6-9), He is slow to
anger and plenteous in mercy, not will-
ing that any should perish, but the
Gay of the Lord will come (II Peter itt,
9,10). He delights in mercy and lov-
ing kindness, and judgmevt is His
strange work (Jer. tx, 23, 24; Hos, vi,
G; Isa. xxvil!, 21).
Sabbuth signifies rest arid a ceasing
from our own works (Gen. tl, 13; Heb.
iy, 8, 4, 10), but these hypocrites were
full of thelr own works, thelr own
days, thelr own feasts and their own
ways and were so occupied with them
and blinded by them that they could
not see the light from heaven that
was in their midst.
The sicknesses which He healed
were typical of the spiriteal condition
of the nation and of the condition of
multitudes today. This woman in the
synagogus was like many who are
found in our charches. She was tong
years bowed down, bound by Satan
and utterly unable to lift herself up.
Every unsaved person is bound by
Satan and unable to loosen or Iift up
himself, end! nelther the synagogue
nor any mere human agency can do
any g00d, for by the deeds of the law
can no one be justified, for the law.
although holy and just and good, can-
not give life (Gal. 1, 16; iH, 10, 11, 21;
Rom. vil, 12).
* By one word, one touch, from Him
who is the end of the law for right-
eousness to every one that believeth
the infirmity of elghteen years instant-
ly disappeared, the bound one was
loosed from the bond of Satan, the
people rejoiced, and the adversaries of
the Lord were ashanied.
Thus it was with Saul of ‘Tarsus
when he saw the same Lord on the
way to Damascus. Thus it will be
with Israel as a nation when they
shall see the same Jesus coming in
His glory. Thus-it has been with
multitudes now in glory and mult?
tudes stil! on earth, and thus it might
be with every one still bound by
Satan if they would let the Lord lay
His hand upon them and speak pence
to them, for the free gift of God is
eternal life, and whosoever will may
take it (Rom. vi, 23; Rev, xxil, 17).
Ia our second portion He did not
say, “Which of you shall see,” but

A Valuable Cream.
One of the most delightful creams te
use on the face ts the orange flower
cream. It will soften and whiten the
skin und fs atso good for massaging.
It Is not as greasy 2s most creams. ‘It
may be prepared as follows:
‘Take spermacet!, six drams; oil of
sweet almonds, four ounces; white
wax, six drams; glycerin, one and one-
half ounces; borax, two drams; orange
flower water, tro ounces; oll of olites,
fifteen drops; the oil of neroll, fif-
teen drops; ol! of bigarade (orange
skin), fifteen drops. Warm the sper-
maceti, wax and almond oll in a dow-
ble boiler until they become creamy;
then add the glycerin to the orange
flower water and let the borax dissolve
jn this, Pour this mixture into the
first one, stirring constantly. Just be-
fore the «ream congels pour in the
perfumed oils drop by drop.
For Oily Skin.
Olly skins are often caused by indl.
gestion. If your skin fs olly pay strict
attention to your diet, eating only the
simplest foods at regular hours and
absolutely avoiding all greasy foods. A
couple of times a day sponge the fol.
lowing witch hazel lotion on the face:
Take four ounces of distilled witch
hazel and one dram of boric acid and
mix together.
Do not use any cream on the face
but protect it as much as possible from
atl sudden changes of temperature
and any undue frritatien. Build up the
general health, paying perticular atten-
tion to the circulation. Once the blood
is in perfect condition tt will remedy
the shriveled skin of which you com-
plain.
To Reduce Waist Lins.
To reduce the size of the waist and
hips stand with tho feet eighteen
inches apart. Raise arms above head
and bend body from walst only until
the finger tips touch the floor. Baise
the body and repeat. Practice this for
five minutes and then put the feet to-
gether and go through the same move-
ments for another five minutes. At
first you will not be able to touch the
floor, but the necessary flexibility: will
come in time. Repeat the exercise
frequently at first.
Two Kinds of Powder.
If you are up to date in the use of
face powder you should have two sorts
of powder—one to use in the daytime
and one to use in the evening. The
evening powder, because of the fact
that It will be shown under artificial
Ught, is colored slizktly mauve. ‘This
sort of powder must be expensive to
be delicately and naturally colored
and for 2 good quality. The daylight
powder has a pinker tinge.
To Clean the Face. i
Japanese tissue paper fs convenient
in cleansing the face. It may bo used
instead of a face cloth. It possesses
the big advantage that it can be
thrown away after it ts used and
therefore appeals to the fastidious
women as cleaner than any cloth
‘These little sheets of tiseue paper can
de used to apply lotions, cold cream
or water to the skin. It fg thin, soft

FLOUR MILL ON FARM.
|How One Nerth Daketa Man Qoto
Greatest Return From Crepe,
A North Daketan realizes the maxt-
mum returns from his wheat and rye
crops by converting these grains inte
four which he sells at $3 a hundred
‘pounds. In bis locality It was practi-
cally impossible to obtain good rye,
graham or whole wheat flour, so this
farmer started growing and grinding
his own grain. As he became profi-
cient the quality of the Sour improved
until finally his neighbors were annu-
ally demanding his surplus at band-
some prices. This “keen demand for
high quality flour increased until he
decided that ft would pay him te equip
a small mill thoroughly and to embark
in the business on a commercial acale.
A stream of conalderable velocity
flows through his farm and furnishea
the power with which to operate his
machinery. He equipped his minia-
ture mill with a crusher, a grinder, a
cleaner and an elevator. The income
from his flour business during the first
two years paid for his plant and equip-
ment and yielded him a good not prefit,
This miller eliminates all the charges
that usually go to the middie man. He
annually raises about eighty acres ef
wheat and thirty-five acres of rye.
Some of this grain he sells as a cosh
crop on account of inadequate bin’
room in which to store it, but more
than half of the crop is converted into
flour to be used for human food.
A gasoline engine is also maintained
as @ reserve source of power in case
the water power should gtve ont. Tho
marketable flour fs neatly sacked and
sells for $3 a bundred pounds, An-
nually the rye and wheat bave 4
farm value of about 60 and & cents
a bushel respectively where they are
sold as cash crops. At a slight ex-
Rense as reganis time apd labor this
shrewd farmer converts his raw wheat
and rye—that in the bulk are worth ap-
proximately $1.07 and $1.10 a handred
pounds—into excellent flour that sells
for $3 a hundred pounds.
Yearly this progressive farmer is
gaining an attractive income from his
mallling operations, since he also grinds
grain for his neighbors. ‘This labor in
nowise Interferea with his farm work,
as the greater share of the mill work
is done during the period when field
work {s relatively slack.—Country Gen-

that the seed may all be sowed under
reper conditions for germination, it
ould preferably be put in with an
ordinary grain drill, and in average soil
covered to a depth of about one inch.
To distribute the seed uniformly it Is a
ood plan to set the drill so as to sow
only about ten pounds per uere and
then to go over the land twice—for ex-
ample, crossing the field north and
south first and then east and west.
There has been much discussion re-
garding the variety of alfalfa best
Suited to Iowa conditions. Since the
per cent of winter killing has been
comparatively low and seed of the
hardier varieties is very high priced
and also uncertain as to purity the
only variety which can well be recom-
mended for general use is that known
as the common American. ‘This is
grown almost altogether in such states
as Kansas and Nebraska. Seed grown
on nonirrigated Iand, under conditions
so nearly as possible the same asgare
found in Iowa. is usually preferable.
No hay sould be remored the year
that the alfalfa is seeded. Spring
soedins may be clipped once or twice
when necessary to keep’ down the
weeds. bnt a 00d growth should cover
the gronud when freezing weather
comes on in the fall.
Usually the alfalfa should be cut
when about one-tenth of the heads are
in bloom, which generally is early in
Jone, as this is about the time that
the new shoots bein to appear at the
bottom of the stalk
Much has been said regarding the
didiculty of handling and curing the
first cutting, but reports from those
then In Iowa who have the largest
acreages state that alfalfa is not more
ficult to cure than red clover. A
number hare sald that It fs casler to
cure.
Various methods of curing have been
used successfully.
In dry, sunny weather alfalfa cut
one afternoon may be raked the fol-
lowing day, put in bunches and much
of it stacked the same day.
It 1s important that as few of the
Jeaves as posaible be lost. In order
to save the leaves many growers rake
the alfalfa into windrows ns soon as
tt has wilted and before the leaves are
dry, bunch the hay with a rake ss
soon as dry enough to stack and haul
it at once. This method also eliminates
the labor of cocking the bay, a feature
which has been found desirable by a
number of men who handle large acre-
ages.
‘Where one has much alfalfa hay to
cure a side delivery rake will be found
to be of the greatest value.
‘Where the hay Is to be cocked it is
cut late in the afternoon or the morn-
ing. raked before dinner and put tn
cocks in the afternoon, Here it should
be left for two or three days. The use
of bay covers assures one of little
di@eulty in curing even the first
cutting and produces a hay of very
execllent quality.
The Care of Eggs.
The perishable nature of an egg
too little understood. Dampness, heat
above 60 degrees, strong odors, drafts

very quickly destroy freshness and

‘The cultivation of vegetables or small

It goes further than this, however, for
it makes the land return a living in-

other destructive agencies have spoiled

Apple and cherry trees should be
planted thirty fect apart; plum, pear

feet apart. The trees need to stand
in straight rows to permit the free use

It may not be generally known that

from it as much phosphorus. A 425
bushel apple crop will remove from the

twenty-five bushels of wheat. There-

That the organization of a first class baseball league among the school children of the city is meeting with favor, is shown by the frequency with which declarations of approval of the plan reach the ears of the promoters. The boys of the city seem to be overjoyed over the prospect of being a part of a first-class baseball organization and there is every indication that the league will be a very great success from its very start. Among the many games that are both amusing and wholesome and at the same time educative, baseball holds an important place. The Sayannah Branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, under whose auspices the league will be conducted, in selecting baseball as the common sport of the boys, no doubt gave its endorsement to this fact. And now that the Urban League has turned over the management to its Committee on Athletics and this committee has met with such success thus far, it is only right and proper that each of us see to it that our boys receive encouragement from our hands. The establishment of a league among the city school children is a fine idea. It ought to meet with success. And with the success that may come locally to the venture, we see no reason why neighboring cities cannot take up the idea with a view of establishing a circuit among them.
Last Monday, a German scientist, who is visiting all of the larger colored institutions of learning, visited the Georgia State College. In the report given in the Morning News the extension work of the school was given and shown to be the Farmers Conference, State Fair, and the Civic Improvement League. The College Commission should disown connection with extension work of this kind unless same was properly conducted along approved lines.
The president of the College claims that his farmers' conference has been held for sixteen years. During these years if the conference was properly conducted every farmer in Chatham and adjoining counties should have been in touch with it and received some benefits, and instead of an attendance of about forty or sixty farmers, there should be not less than five hundred. The personality of the president is the cause of this and not apathy towards the school.
The State fair is an incorporated institution. At its organization practical plans were made for its success. It terminated into a family organization. The stockholders know nothing about its affairs. Its management receives continuous criticisms. The president of the College is the cause of it. Much can be said of the management of this institution that will not be of credit.
Claim is made that the Negro Civic Improvement League is a part of the extension work of the College. The faculty of the College or those in authority should feel ashame to own it. The league was organized under influence of the Chamber of Commerce and by the colored citizens of Savannah. The president of the College was made president of the league. It started under favorable auspices and plans. for effective work were made. What is the use reiterating, the public is acquainted with its history; the public knows of the action of the president. The public knows that he made several false assertions about the league that he has never been able to this date to verify, and yet he is trying to thrust it upon the public as a part of the extension work of the College.
The people of Savannah and the State have about fully understrood President Wright. They are taking whatever he says with much
allowance. His days of usefulness at the college ended long ago. It is now too late for him to change about. A large percent of our people here has lost confidence in him as an educator for their children.
As is always the case, the latest move on the part of the great educator at Tuskegee in behalf of his people, rings true of the unselfish devotion and service which go to make up the man. For a long time, accommodations on the rail roads in certain parts of the country have presented to us a serious problem. Inadequate space, dirty and insanity coaches, impolite and non obliging conductors have hovered within the range of our vision each time there is a contemplated trip to another town. There is no gain-saying the fact that most, if not all of our people who have had to do any amount of traveling whatever, have suffered indignities one after the other on account of the prevailing conditions on the train. Knowing as no one else does, perhaps, the inner designs and strivings of our people aiment better railroad accommodations, the great Wizard of Tuskegee has spoken out in clarion tones in behalf of them. As we read the replies of various railroad officials to communications dealing with railroad accommodations or rather the lack of these accommodations for our people, sent to them by Dr. Washington, it is need gratifying to note a rather general disposition on the part of these officials to give more attention to their Negro patrons. In bringing to the attention of the officials of high rank, the very unsatisfactory accommodations with which, in most cases, a colored traveling man or woman has to put up, Dr. Washington is rendering the race a great service. Better accommodations seem to be forth coming as a result. It is the sincere wish of the Tribune that when Railroad Day, the day on which Dr. Washington desires all of our people in all parts of our country whenever conditions demand it to speak to the officials of the railroads with a view of cooperating with them in improving conditions for our people, is set aside by him, that our people everywhere will seize the opportunity to do a service to their race through concerted effort which perhaps they could not do otherwise. By all means let us act upon the suggestion of Dr. Washington in this matter.
Brazil and the Negro
If I were asked to name the one point in which there is complete difference between the Brazilians and ourselves, I should say that it was in the attitude toward the black man. As the Indian becomes civilized he is absorbed into the population, as is the case with us in Oklahoma, and whoever has Indian blood in him is proud of the fact. The President of Brazil is one of these men, and there are a number of others among the leaders whom I met. It is an entire mistake to speak as if the population of Brazil were so mixed as to be wholly unlike that of Europe or the United States. It is mixed only in the sense in which the populations of Italy and Spain are mixed, as the population of southern France is mixed, as the population is mixed in many parts of the United States. As regards the major part of the population the "mixed race" is such only in the sense in which that is also true of the United States, and of most of the advanced nations of mankind. There is one real difference, however. This difference between the United States and Brazil is the tendency of Brazil to absorb the Negro. My observation leads me to believe that in "Absorb" I have used exactly the right expression to describe this process. It is the Negro who is being absorbed and not the Negro who is absorbing the white man. This great majority of the men and women of high social position in Rio are of unmixed white blood as the corresponding class in Paris or Madrid or Rome. The great majority of the political leaders are pure whites with an occasional dash of Indian blood. But any Negro or mulatto who shows himself fit is without question given the place to which his abilities entitle him. I met one or two colored deputies. At one military school I met a Negro professor. At one great laboratory I saw a colored doctor. All of these men were accepted quite simply on their worth, and apparently nobody had any idea of discriminating against them in any official or business relation because of their color. A very great majority of the Negroes, and most of the colored
people—that is, the mulattoes and quadrons—do not make their way up to the highest positions, and they are proportionately most plentiful in the lower ranks. Among the working people, for instance, and among the enlisted men of the army and navy, I saw many Negroes, many colored men, working side by side in the same organizations with the whites and apparently without any discrimination being made against them. In Bahia there is a very large Negro element among the working class. In parts of Brazil it is somewhat larger. In Rio it is noticable, but far less so than in most of the cities of the Southern United States
WHITE WORKERS NOT PARASITES Brazil is most fortunate in the fact that its white working population has nothing of the parasite about it. The whites do not endeavor to live on the labor of the blacks the inevitable result of which as shown in all other communities, is that ultimately the blacks crowd out of existence those who live on their labor. On the contrary, the bulk of the work, even in Rio, is done by white men. But these white men draw no line against the Negro and in the lower ranks intermarriages are frequent, especially between the Negroes and the most numerous of the immigrant races of Europe. In the middle class these intermarriages are rare, and in the higher class almost unknown so far as concerns men and women in which the black strain is atall evident. But even in the higher ranks there is apparently no prejudice whatever against marrying a mah or girl who is, say, seventh white the remaining quantity of black blood being treated as a negligible element. The men and women with whom I closely associated were in the very great majority of cases pure white save in the comparatively instances where they had a dash of Indian blood. But they naturally and unconcernedly told me the facts as I have above related them.
Perhaps the attitude that the Brazilians, including the most intelligent among them, take is best symbolized by a picture we saw in the art museum in Rio. It portrayed a black grandfather, a mulatto son and a white grandchild, the evident intention of the painter being to express both the hope and the belief that the Negro was being absorbed and transformed that he would become a white man. It is idle to prophesy for any remote future, and it is a very doubtful thing to prophesy even about the immediate future, but my impression is that the guiding or ruling classes of Brazil will continue to be almost absolutely white, that in the classes immediately below them there will continue to be a certain small absorption of Negro blood, and that among the ordinary people this absorption will be larger—large enough to make a slight difference in the type.
IDEALS DIFFERENT
From the above it will be seen that the ideals of the United States and of Brazil as regards the treatment of the Negroes are wholly different. The best men in the United States, not only among the white, but among the blacks also, believe in the complete separation of the races so far as marriage is concerned while they also believe in treating each man of whatever color absolutely on his worth as a man, allowing him full opportunity to achieve the success warranted by his ability and integrity, and giving to him the full measure of respect to which that success entitles him. In Brazil, on the contrary, the idea looked forward to is the disappearance of the Negro question through the disappearance of the Negro himself—that is, through his gradual absorption into the white race.
This does not mean that Brazilians are or will become the "mongrel" people that they have been asserted to be by certain writers, not only French and English, but American. The Brazilians are a white people, belonging to, the Mediterranean race, and differing from the northern stocks only as such great and civilized old races as the Spaniards and Italians, with their splendid historic past, differ from these northern stocks. The evident Indian admixture has added a good, and not a bad element. The very large European immigration of itself tends, decade by decade, to make the Negro blood a smaller element of the blood of the whole community. The Brazilian of the future will bein blood more European than in the past, and he will differ in culture only as the American of the North differs.
The great majority of the men and women I met, the leaders in world of political and industrial
effort and of scientific accomplishment, showed little, if any more trace of Negro blood than would be shown by the like number of similar men in a European capital. Yet not only is there in some classes a considerable infiltration of Negro blood with a corresponding tendency of the pure Negro type to disappear, but this process is regarded with hearty approval by the most thoughtful statesmen of the country. Their view, so different from our own, can perhaps best be expressed in the words of one of these very statesmen, himself of pure white blood, who said to me substantially:
"Of course the presence of the Negro is the real problem, and a very serious problem both in your country, the United States, and in mine, Brazil. Slavery was an tolerable method of solving the problem, and had to be abolished. But the problem itself remained in the presence of the Negro. It was not the slave-owner who inherited his slaves who was responsible for the problem. The slave trader who brought slaves into the country was the man who inflicted the ghastly wrong not only upon the blacks but upon the whites. We, like you, have merely inherited the problem.
U. 8. METHOD CRITICISED
Now comes the necessity to devise some method of dealing with it. You of the United States are keeping the blacks as an entirely separate element, and you are not treating them in a way that fosters their self respect. They will remain a menacing element in your civilization, permanent, and perhaps even after a while a growing element. With us the question tends to disappear because the blacks themselves tend to disappear and become absorbed. You speak of Brazil as having a large Negro population. Well, in a century there will not be any Negroes in Brazil, whereas you will have twenty or thirty million of them. Then for you will be a real and uncomfortable problem, while for us the problem in its most menacing phase will have disappeared. You say that this result will be accomplished only by an adulteration, and therefore a weakening of the pure white blood. I grant that this will have happened as regards a portion, perhaps a third, of our population. I regret this, but it is the least objectionable of the alternatives. We treat the Negro with entire respect, and he responds to the treatment. If a Negro shows capacity and integrity, he receives the same reward that a white man would receive. He has therefore every incentive to rise. In the upper ranks of society there is no intermarriage with the Negro of pure or nearly pure blood; but such intermarriage is frequent in the lower ranks, especially between the Negro and many classes of immigrants.
"The pure Negro is constantly growing less and less in numbers, and after two or more crosses of the white blood the Negro blood tends to disappear, so far as the physical, mental and moral traits of the race are concerned. When he has disappeared, his blood will remain as an appreciable, but in no way a dominant, element in perhaps a third of our people, while the remaining two-thirds will be pure white. Granted that this strain will represent a slight weakening in one third of our population, the result will be that in our country two-thirds of the population will have kept its full strength; with the one-third slightly weakened, while the Negro problem will have entirely disappeared. In your country all the white population will have been kept in its original race strength, but the Negro will remain in increased numbers and with an increased and bitter sense of his isolation, so that the problem of his presence will be more menacing than at present. I do not say that ours is a perfect solution, but I regard it as a better solution than yours. We and you have to face two alternatives, neither of them without drawbacks. I believe that the one we Brazilians have chosen will in the long run, from the national standpoint, prove less disadvantageous and dangerous than the one you of the United States have chosen."—Ex-President Roosevelt in The Outlook.
White and Negro
By natural increase the white population about triples itself in forty years, while the black doubles itself. Hence the latter must form an ever diminishing fraction of the whole population.—New York American.

Care of the Noss and Throat.
“Improper conditions of the nose and
throat are not only dangy'ous to
health, but stunt the physfxl and
mental development of the child.” says
2 well known physician. “Colds iri the
head, catarrh, adenoids and enlarged
tonsils are the most frequent of these
improper conditions found in little chil-
dren.
“Adenoids .are small masses of soft
tissue normally found in every child's
nasal passages between the back of
the nose and the throat, which through
catarrh or other causes may become
enlarged and block up the alr passages,
interfering with breathing through the
nose and foreing the child to breathe
through the mouth, preventing proper
inflation of the lungs and stunting the
development of the chest. They keep
up a constant catarrhal condition near
the ventilating tube leading trom the
throat to the ear and in this way im-
pair the hearing of the child.
“Another common throat disease is
enlarged tonsils. The tonsils are small,
almond shaped bodies situated on each
alde of the throat. They have a cer,
tain purpose, and I do not believe in
the indiscriminate removal of all en-
larged tonsils. In fact, I condemn what
I unhesitatingly ‘call the ‘massacre of
the tonsils’ so often chosen as the
treatment of enlarged tonsils. ‘The
cause fs in many cages not in the ton-
ails, but in the general condition of
the patient. Proper medicine and hy-
giente treatment will cure many cases
without an operation. Only when the
tonstig are enlarged, bard and fibrous,
serfously interfering with speech and
swallowing, should they be removed.
“Prevention {s better thax a care. If
a child catches a celd, do not let the
cold ‘wear {itself away.’ Treat it at
once or it may lay the foundation for
-adenolds and enlarged tonsils.”
Cover For Babv’s Fect.
| Children who-are too small to walk
out of doors nearly always suffer from
cold feet, but this will never happen
if mothera will wrap the plump little
Umbs of thelr youngest in a bagicover,
which may be made as follows:
The size of the cover must vary
according to the shape of mail or push
cart which baby uses. Take careful
measurements and then cut an oblong
plece ef cloth, making ft twice the
lerigth you require the bag.
For lining you will need a plece of
satin or sateen cut two inches smaller
each way than the cloth and wadded
with a thickness of cotton wool. This
must be atitched ‘rmly to the cloth.
‘Then double the whole thing and sew
up the sldes so as fo form a bag.
Cut @ piece ef cloth two and a hale
Inches larger all the way round than
one alde of the bag, scallop It with
all to match the cloth and lay it on
the front of the bag, stitching it firm-
ly. If you like yeu can also work baby's
fnitials in the corner, surrounded by
some simple foral decoration.
Last of all add a small brass ring
to each upper corner, sewing it on very
‘firmly. When baby's lecs are snug
between the layers of cotton wool and
the rings are allpped over two hooks
screwed at the back of the cart you
‘will have good cause to feel satisfied
with your handiwork.
A Nerve Soother.
Fractionsness and restlessness on the
baby's part are frequent results of cut-
ting back teeth, and often the-child ts
given to starting and screaming dur
ing the night. Try: the following plan
before putting the little one to bed:
Get a bath ready with the water deep
enough to reach to the child's waist
when sitting down. Fasten a shawl
or small blanket around the neck to
keep the top of the body warm. Neither
abaw! ner mands should be wet. Keop
.the baby in the water fve minutes. A
board may be Mixed across the bath at
one end to hold « few toys to amuse
the child, The temperature of the
wwater shoaki be 10¢ degrees. The
Jower port of the little body wf! be
quite red when taked oot Give ft a
goed brisk rabbing and pop the ehild
into a warm bed. “Tt should sleep
quietty and soundly til] morning.
fRiainprocf Hecd.
My chfidren never carry umbrellas,
writes a friend. Instead each one is
provided with « rainproof bood, which
when net needed ts buttoned into an
inside pocket of the overcoat.
If rain comes en the hood ta button
ed on to the buttons sewed under the
collar of the coat, When the collar ts
turned up and the hood drawn over the
head the little one fs as cusy as pos-
sible and takes no harm from the
rain.
‘The hood ean be quickly dried after
ward. 1 Gnd it a far better plan than
providing umbrellze, which are always
getting damaged.
An Appeal to Pride.
Though smoking elrarettes is really
harmfal for boys. they xmoke not de-
cause they are barically ad, but in
Imitation of thelr elders. It Is the
parents’ duty to prove to the boy that
smoking may prevent bis hecoraing an
athiete and that It will affect hin chest
expansion and minseular development.
See to it that he dixtineninhes the real
from the ehean sport and desires te
imitate the right kind of older fellow.

Vanity of the Peacock
Our favorite and much petted peace cock, says a correspondent of the London Spectator, can be kept happy any length of time looking at his reflection in the window pane or in a looking glass. He comes in daily to tea, making no mistake about the hour, and spends much time en route in gazing at himself as he appears in the glass of the French windows by which he enters the room. If I am sewing and do not speak to him when he comes into the room he will gently put his head quite close, almost touching my ring or needle, for he likes bright things, till I have to give up working and talk to him as with a small child whom one is afraid of pricking.
Hannibal
After the crushing defeat he received at Zama. Hannibal lived for nineteen years, devoting his great talents to the rehabilitation of his country. Driven from his city by the jealousy of the Romans he fled to the court of Antrachus, king of Syria. After being beaten in the war by the Romans, mainly because he rejected Hannibal's advice, the Syrian monarch was ordered to give up Hannibal, whereupon the great Carthaginian, at the age of sixty-four, ended his life by poison.
Moving Picture Films
The average life of a film is eight months. If the stock (celluloid) on which it is printed is poor or an incompetent operator mishandles it during projection it may be utterly worthless after four months owing to scratches and bad felts. With careful attention it may be in constant use for twelve mentions - London Globe.
The President's Cabinet
The president's cabinet is not a part of the executive, strictly speaking. The members of the cabinet cannot, in strictness, even be said to be the president's advisers. He does, as a matter of fact, consult them, and very often, in all probability, their advice has weight with the president, but they possess no constitutional power. That resides, so far as the executive part of the government goes, solely with the president. After hearing the views and opinions of the members of his cabinet the president can, if he chooses, disregard them all. He is the executive, and the whole of it—New York American
Ancient Posters.
It is probably the general impression that posters and handbills are modern inventions, but it has been discovered that the ancient Romans practiced this method of advertising. In digging at Herculaneum there was brought to light a pillar covered with bills, one on top of another. The paste used to stick them was made of gum arabic. The bills, when separated and examined, were found to be programs and announcements of public meetings and even election proclamations.
Useless Noise.
Hargis was lying on the couch very ill. The servant in the next room knocked down some dishes with a tremendous clatter. Hargis' nerves were quite unstrung, and he called out in a rage:
"I suppose you have broken all the plates?"
"No." replied the servant weekly, "there isn't one broken."
"Well, then," growled the enraged invalid, "why did you make, all that noise for nothing?" -Everybody's.
Origin of Stammering.
A new theory as to the origin of stammering is set forth by C. S. Bluemel in a book on that subject. It is usually said that stammering is due to spasm or to incoordination of muscles, but this is no explanation, as it does not tell what causes the spasm or the incoordination. According to Mr. Bluemel, stammering is the result of transient auditory amnesia—forgetfulness of the sound of words—which produces the secondary conditions of mental confusion and fear, these being intensified in some cases by autosuggestion. The initial cause may be slight and limited to early life. It may even lessen and disappear, while the secondary effects remain as acquired habits.
Gift For a Missionary
"I am sending this package to a missionary friend of mine who is about to sail for India." said the man who got on at Clifton avenue. "You couldn't guess in a thousand years what is in It, so I'll tell you. It's insect powder. I couldn't give a present that a missionary would value more highly. We see the ignorance and superstition and vice that the missionaries have to contend with, and these things are bad enough, but there are other trials still harder to bear that the gospel workers never write home."—Newark News.
Barter In Africa.
Lecturing on his African experience, H. K. Eustice says he once saw a native sold as a slave for seven goats, which in open market fetched $1.44 apiece. As values go in some parts of Africa the price was high, for within a few hundred miles of the equator wives are transferred for less. Marriage, of course, is by barter, and the indemnity demanded by a father for the loss of a daughter used to be $2.40 from the bridegroom. Today it has risen to about $5, but the scale of values is shown by the fact that a native will gladly give his labor for a week in return for an empty medicine bottle with a metal screw stopper.

The Oldest Encyclopedia.
The most ancient encyclopedia entant is Pliny's "Natural History," in thirty-seven books and 2,403 chapters, treating of cosmography, astronomy, meteorology, geography, geology, botany, medicine, the arts and pretty nearly every other department of human thought known at the time. Pliny, who died 79 A.D., collected his work in his leisure intervals while he was engaged in public affairs. The work was a very high authority in the middle ages.

She—Don't you think I have a pretty mouth? He (absentmindedly)—Yes, darling. It's simply immense.

An Unconscious Toast.
Lord Clyde one day after dinner asked a chaplain to one of the regiments in India for a toast, who, after considering some time, at length exclaimed with great simplicity:
"Alas and alack a day! What can I give?"
"Nothing better," replied his lordship.
"Come, gentlemen; we'll give a bumper to the parson's toast. A lass and a lac a day."
A Jac means 100,000 rupees, or $25,000, which is certainly an income to make one happy.-London Chronicle.

London is credited with the greatest variety of means of transportation of any city in the world.
A Get-rich-quick Plan.
"Is there any money in a perpetual motion machine?" asked the inventor.
"I guess there is," said the man with the red tie. "I have a little machine in my store that would bring me a million if I could keep it in perpetual motion."
"What is it?" asked the other.
"A cash register."—Ladies" Home Journal.
What Worries Him.
A married man says it isn't the jaws of death that worry him, but the jaws of life.
Not Good at Riddles.
A lawyer was questioning a new client, a widow, the other day about her history. "My history," she replied, "is simplicity itself. My first was the happiness of my life, my second was goodness itself, my third"— "Excuse me, madam," interrupted the attorney, "but really we aren't here to guess charades."
Corrected
"Mrs. Muchwed has certainly had a very diversified life." "You mean divorce-filed."—Boston Transcript.
Most Wonderful Clock.
The most wonderful clock in the world is in St. Petersburg. It has ninety-five faces. It indicates simultaneously the time of day at thirty points on the earth's surface, besides the movement of the earth around the sun, the phases of the moon, the signs of the zodiac, the passage over the meridian of more than fifty stars of the northern hemisphere, and the date according to the Gregorian, Greek, Mussulman and Hebrew calendars. It took two years to put the works together.
At the Home Plate.
Judge—Describe' what passed between you in the quarrel with your wife. Man on Stand—The plates were regular dinner size, your honor, and the teapot had a broken spout—Boston Transcript.
EXPERIENCE
Experience is never limited, and it is never complete. It is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness and catching every air borne particle in its tissue. It is the very atmosphere of the mind, and when the mind is imaginative much more when it happens to be that of a genius—it takes to itself the fairest hints of life; it converts the very pulses of the air into revelations.—Henry James.
"I just adore caviar," said Mrs. Gottit. "Isn't he a swell singer?" answered Mrs. Newwich.-Columbia Jester.

A miner got killed and a tactful associate was delegated to break the news to the widow. So the tactful fellow called at her house and said:
"With your golden hair, blue eyes and pink and white complexion, ma'am, you'd break every heart in town if you wore widow's weeds."
The young woman laughed and blushed for pleasure.
"Oh, go on." she said.
"And you are a widow, too," said the tactful miner quickly, seizing his chance. "Bill's head and legs and arms was just blown off in an explosion. But you're goln' to look good in black, though!"
England's Greatest Storm.
England's most violent storm was that of 1703. A strong west wind had set in about the middle of November, and it increased in violence until on the morning of the 26th few people ventured out of their houses, and on that night houses were unroofed, buildings torn down and thousands of people were killed. About 2,000 stacks of chimneys were blown down in and around London. In the Thames only four ships remained between London bridge and Limehouse, 500 wherries, 300 ship boats and 100 lighters and barges were entirely lost, and many were badly damaged. The damage in London alone was estimated at $10,000,000.
Saw Her Chance.
"No man shall ever kiss me except my future husband." said the girl as she was about to leave the gate.
"Suppose I agree to be your future"—"Why, then, I'll kiss you," she said eagerly. And she did.
Her mother was informed that he had proposed, and the old lady called on him the next day to arrange matters, and before he knew it he was eternally booked. It was a very mean advantage, but a bird in the hand is worth two on the garden gate.
Von Hutton's Misery.
Very sad was the fate of Ulrich von Hutten, one of the greatest writers Germany has ever produced. Unable to earn a living, he was reduced to tramping through the country, begging food and shelter from the peasants. One bitter winter's night both were refused, and next morning he was found frozen stiff and cold in the drifting snow outside the village. "The only thing he died possessed of besides the rags he wore," says his biographer, Zwingle, "was a pen."
Tender Steak.
A noted New York architect said of a recent criticism of skyscrapers: "This criticism is not fair. It is prejudiced. Hence it will do more harm than good, like the remark of the waiter.
"To a waiter who was under notice to leave, a guest said in a restaurant: "Walter, confound it, this steak isn't tender enough."
"Not tender enough? the waiter snarled. 'Ah, what do you expect? Do you want it to jump up and hug and kiss you?'"—Exchange.
Driving Men From the Table.
Baptista Porta gives six processes for driving hearty eaters from the tables of great men. The most effective was to give them an hour before eating a glass of wine medicated with belladonna, so that attempts to masticate would occasion spasms of the jaw. The most disgusting was to set before the gluttonies vlands sprinkled with dried horses' blood and pieces of cat gut. He says, "If you cut harp strings small and sprinkle them on hot flesh the heat will twist them, and they will move like worms."
A Hard Job.
"Didn't you say six months ago that if Miss Tipkins wouldn't marry you you would throw yourself into the deepest part of the sea? Now, Miss Tipkins married some one else three months ago and yet you haven't"— "Oh, it's easy to talk, but let me tell you it is not such an easy matter to find the deepest part of the sea."
Casualties Expected.
During one of Cannon's bitter political fights in his district in Illinois, the opposition resorted to desperate tactics. Among other things friends of Uncle Joe were summarily dismissed from positions they held in the public service. Some of his friends became alarmed at this, and one of them called on the speaker at his residence and said, somewhat excitedly:
"Joe, Smith and Jones have just lost their positions in the postoffice. What are we going to do about it?"
Uncle Joe took another puff at his cigar and then answered, with a benevolent smile: "Nothing. If you go into battle, you have got to expect to have some dead and wounded."
Trinidad.
The island of Trinidad is fifty-five miles long and forty miles wide and has an area of approximately 1,800 square miles. A chain of mountains extends throughout its length. the highest point of which is about 3,000 feet above the sea level. The population of the island is estimated at 340,000.
A Dear Friend.
"I hear yer frien' Tamson's married again."
"Aye, so he is. He's been a dear frien' tae me. He's cost me three waddin' presents an' twa wreaths"—Dundee Advertiser
Watchful Housekeeper on Guard.

Has she shown a special aptitude for the violin?" "No, but every girl has to take les sons on something, doesn't she?"—Chicago Record-Herald.

Why are streams called "she?" we rise to inquire. Don't they sometimes dry up?-Columbia State.
Had a Proxy.
"All right," she said. "Grandma said she would pay you when she came in tomorrow."-New York Globe.
Self Disgraced.
In Boston, as every one, knows, the symphony concerts are viewed in the light of sacred ceremonials. In this connection the story is told of two little girls of a certain family who returned from the music hall "in a state of mind." One of them carried an expression of deep scorn, the other an air of great dejection.
"What is the matter, girls?" asked some member of the household. "Was the concert fine?"
"The concert was all right," responded Eleanor. "The trouble was with Mary. She disgraced herself."
"Disgraced herself?"
"Yes, she sneezed in the middle of the symphony."—Philadelphia Ledger.
For the Boy's Sake.
"I want my son to enjoy his boyhood, because he will be a child only once."
"That's all well enough, but there's no use in making oneself a slave to one's children."
"I don't make myself a slave to my children. I find my greatest enjoyment in giving them pleasure."
"Then why did you kick so strenuously when your boy asked you for a dime to pay his way into the picture show?"
"Sh-sh! I don't want him to overhear. I know he'd be sorry if he spent the money to see that show. I was there myself this afternoon."—Chicago Record-Herald
He Meant the Ashes
Hewitt-Gruel uses very appropriate language, don't you think so?
Jewett-Well, when I asked him what he thought of the idea of cremation his reply was, "It jars one."—New York, Press
Sadder and Wiser.

Escaped a Refusal.
"Mary, why didn't you answer the doorbell?"
"I was 'trail. Da fortune teller say dat if i go to door today I see my future husband."
"What nonsense! Why, here's the man's card! Goodness, it was our minister."
"Vell, I'm glad I don't go. He ain't my style." - Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Answering the Phones
Commenting on the fact that however inaccessible a business man may be to call, he will generally answer the telephone. Electricity says that the explanation is a very simple one. There is an element of mystery about a telephone call. The called party never knows, until he actually responds, whether or not the caller is a person of importance or has something of vital import to communicate. It is just a matter of luck, and how your average business man, no matter how deep he may be in the conduct of his affairs with others actually present, will almost invariably break off the most important personal conversation to answer a telephone call.
Canadian "Alligators."
The unsophisticated visitor to the lumber districts of Canada may occasionally see what is to him a very remarkable sight, a primitive looking steamboat high and dry on a road, crawling along quite comfortably, apparently just as much at home as in its natural element. These boats are known as "alligators," and are used for towing the rafts of logs down the rivers and lakes to the mills, says the Wide World Magazine. Sometimes it is desired to transfer one of these craft to a new sphere of operations which can only be reached overland, and the boat is then hauled out of the water, placed upon rollers and travels to its destination by means of its own power.
Musical.
THE HEROIC SPIRIT.
In the smallest occasion a man can be governed by the greatest of principles. The littleness of the events and the instruments we are dealing with are forever cheating out of the true grandeur of life. The heroic spirit not only makes life heroic, but finds it so.
There still exists in London a bylaw which forbids a cask of beer to be unloaded between certain hours, but no mention is made of casks containing any other liquor: Lucerne has on its statute book a law which is not enforced. It prohibits hats of more than eighteen inches in diameter, forbids the use of artificial flowers and imported feathers and orders that a license of seventy-five cents a year shall be paid for the right to wear ribbons or silk or gauze.
A young man was lately leaving his aunt's house after a visit when, finding it was beginning to rain, he caught up an umbrella that was snugly placed in a corner and was proceeding to open it when the old lady, who for the first time observed his movements, sprang toward him, exclaiming: "No, no; that you never shall! I've had that umbrella twenty-three years, and it has never been wet yet, and I am sure it shan't be wetted now!"—London Express.
To Make Shaving Easier.
To shave easily and save the blades of safety razors, leave a pleasant feel on the face and make all razors take less stropping, adopt the following plan:
Lather the face well and wash off the lather. That gets rid of all dust. Then with a small brush work into the skin a little vaseline, and without removing this relather the face well, and then shave. The first day or two the plan does not seem so successful, but after that the advantages are very marked.—Louden Field.

SYRAYING TREES FROM TUL KO4DWAS,
Ape goat to be able to distingufsh the
ferent kinds of enemfes found on
the trees in winter. He ought to buy a
good pocket lens, costing about 75
nts, and carefully study all the para-
ates, scabs and fungi he can find.
In battling with mildew, mites,
spiders and moths all infected trees
should be pruned and the dead and
Gecaying parts removed. All wounds
should be cleaned out aud the faking,
sealing bark ought to be scraped away
from the trunks. Let this werk pre
cede the spraying with lime-sutphur.
‘AL rubbish should be burned at once.
This will expose all the hibernating
pests so the spray will reach them
easily. Every part of the tree ought
to be bathed in the film of spray even
to the tiniest twig. The best time for
applying sprays to the pests mentioned
fa a short time before the buds show
signs of swelling.
Bordeaux 6450 is the spray, vsed
mest in late winter spraying, when the
Amesulphur is deemed inadequate.
It is very effective in dealing with an
thmenose and incipient cases of peach
‘eat curl. To be really effective the
spray should be put an at a dry time.
as a fall of rain will wash off much of
the spraying material and lessen its ef.
fectiveness.
‘The one pest that ought to be fought
hardest by the winter sprayer ia the
San Jose scale. Look for the-ronnd.
grayish and black. button shaped
bodies with a pimple-like elevation in
the center. This elevation {s about the
elze of a pin head and fs often sur-
rounded by a red ring. Lime-sutphur
solution properly applied will Bill the
San Jose scale at any date between the
falling of the leaves and the leating
ont in spring.
There are three rules that I think
every man should apply in going about
spraying, whether he is doing the work
in winter or in summer. They are:
When you spray, be sure you are do-
ing it ‘at the right time.
If you don't know the reason why
you are spraying, don’t spray at all.
‘The only way to know the reasons
tor spraying is to study up on-every
insect or fungus tbat fs causing you
treable now or may trouble you in
the near future, .
Men no longer argue about the vaine
of spraying. That has been settled for
all time. The seabless, sound ond
mmooth skinned frait of the sprayed
ercbard bas settled that question All
‘that remains for us to knew is tho
‘when and the how.

CONVENIENT BAGS.
New Models Are Compact and Fitted
With Useful Accesorios.
‘Mannfacturers of fine leather goods

fashioned types of bags. The respon-

The party bag is a mere trifle to
handle and looks almost like a hand-
kerchief in black moire drawn in with
a ribbon. It may be concealed in a
coat pocket, or there would be space
for it in a little hand bag. Within its
folds are all the items that go to give
2 woman the finishing touches for the
toilet. Just a, Httle frame keeps all
the gold, silver gilt or enameled trifies
together, and the contents are all that
is required.
‘The prevailing taste leans to easily

ties consist of round models of the
finest leather, so soft as to crush into
very small space. Inside ss a frame,
and into this are fitted the Uttle im-

Among the Masons
LEARNING THE RITUALS
One of the correspondents writes of a brother who conferred a degree twenty-six days after having been made a Master Mason. Others have done as well or better so far as time is concerned. The real reason for alluding to the subject here is to direct attention to the fact that so few Masons learn more than the catechism as to make the instances of sufficient importance to occasion comment.
There are good Masons who have been members of the fraternity many years without ever attempting to take any part in the conferring of degrees, but those Masons who have learned the ritual and transmitted it to others have sustained interest in the institution, and are entitled to most of the credit for the benefits that have resulted.
It cannot be denied that some Masons have given attention to ritualism to the exclusion of all else Masonic, for which they are entitled to censure. Masonry demands much more of its followers than perfection in knowledge of its ritual, but a desire to know the ritual must be taken as an evidence of interest in what the institution teaches. Every Master and Past Master rejoices to see newly admitted brethren desirous to assist in the conferring of degrees and is ready to furnish instruction when requested.—Masonic Chronicle.
PERSONAL SERVICE
Opportunities are always offered to those who are willing to be of service to others. It is immaterial whether position is environed with wealth and social distinction, or circumscribed by the narrowest of limits; opportunities for exercising Masonic duties are offered for doing good.
In the life of every brother there are critical times. The call of duty is never hushed; in the busy hours of the day, in the silent hours of the night is always an opportunity to lighten the task of others, to assuage pain and grief, to comfort the distressed.
And our solemn obligations as Masons make it obligatory to deal likewise with all of the humankind as we deal with one another. No Mason who appreciates the grandeur of our ancient fraternity, and who is thoroughly grounded in the lessons conveyed by our obligations and teachings can neglect the opportunity of doing good, of being of service to his fellowmen, or decline to be of personal service in the name of Charity and Humanity.
But it shall not be overlooked that above all things the duty of a Mason is vested in his family and surroundings, and his fidelity in ever constant recurring duties, however trivial, qualifies him for other duties in broader fields when opportunities are offered to render such honored service. Masonic work is untiring, ceaseless; it is with us and of us at all times.—"By your works shall be ye known."—Square and Compasses.
WHO ARE REAL MASONS
The startling statement has been advanced by some Masonic writer, that not more than one man in: a thousand who belongs to the Craft is a real Mason. This sound absurd, at first blush, but a little reflection leads one to the conclusion that this writer may not be far wrong.
Let's think about the matter a little. The first step is to decide, of course, what really constitutes a Mason. Certainly the Master of a lodge cannot breathe the spirit of Masonry into every candidate and make him a worthy member, a thoughtful, earnest, real member. It is equally true that proficiency in the ritual does not constitute real Masonry. A monkey might be taught to make the signs, and a parrot to repeat the words with more accuracy than some working teams—but the monkey and parrot combination could not constitute Masonry.
The real Masons is he who understands the teachings of the order, he who carries its precepts into practice. No Mason is born such. Some men have decidedly more adaptability for Masonry than others. Indeed there are men who from their instinct of social service, their endeavors on behalf of their fellowmen, their understanding of the motives that underlie human actions, may be said to be "involuntary Masons." These are men equipped for Masonry, the men of whom we say, "He would make a splendid Mason." Unless our estimate of him errs, he needs but the influence of the craft to round out his
character into real Masonry. Masonry of the real kind is more like the cuticle and less like the cloak, than is generally supposed. This is a complex age, we are living in. The mere task of making a livelihood occupies most of the time of the majority of men. They have little leisure and perhaps less inclination to study Masonry's meaning and practice her precepts. In the olden times the winding of the Masonic horn was the signal for stores to close, and business to cease, while the leaders of community life turned their attention to Masonic activity.
In view of the changed conditions, perhaps it is not an exaggeration to say that the number of real Masons has not kept pace, even proportionately, with the number of "members."—Selected.
Your brother's welfare should be as dear to you as your own. Masonry stands for brotherhood.
A true Mason is a true man, always and everywhere.

A smart feature of the coat is the big butterfly how across the back. Like most ultra coats of the season the skirt of the coat flares considerably below. The coat is worn over a simple little gown of silk poplin. The wide brimmed hat is adorned with velvet ribbon and a cluster of poppies.
Many of the new hand bags are in the shape of enlarged and flattened pears, with a tassel hanging from the lower point and a narrow silver mount at the top suspended on a short ribbon, just long enough to sling over the wrist. But newer still are the pockets which are being worn on the hips of the tallor mades. They may be visible or not, as one wishes, and the front and side draperies which are now in the fashion allow of them being used for practical purposes without in any way upsetting the set of the skirt.

A LITTLE SNOW GIRL.
We hurry forth
From the icy north,
A swift and silent band,
And ride the blast
In numbers vast
When the storm king gives command.
We flutter down
From the mountain's crown
And haste o'er the frozen plains,
And we dance and leap
To the winds that sweep
Through the city streets and lanes.
Point For Boy Scouts.
When visiting my former regiment the other day, says Baden-Powell, I found that several novel ideas were in force in the physical training of the young soldiers. One was tint of teaching them to walk along a plank set up on edge at a height of about five feet above the ground. To walk along this for about fifteen feet was the test of balance, and after a little practice there was not one who could not do it, although at first trial it looked hopeless.
It might be thought to be rather a waste of time to instruct soldiers in walking the tight rope, but most curious results have been obtained from it. Not only does a lad become more well balanced, confident and plucky, but it has been found that he also develops very rapidly into a good shot. One old soldier, who was a particularly bad shot, was sent through a course of tight rope walking, and he soon gained thereby the power of controlling his nerves.
Making Sieighbells
The sleighbells we see are round with an iron "jingle" in them. Now, you know that this little jingle could not have been put through the holes of the bell, so perhaps you would like to know how the bell is made. It is made by a man called an iron founder. First he puts the jingle inside a little ball of mud, which is just the shape and size of the metal ball. Then he makes a mold the shape of the outside of the ball. The ball of mud with the jingle in it is put inside the mold; then hot metal is poured in and fills the space between the ball and the mold. But when the mold is taken off the bell will not ring. As soon as the dirt inside the mold is shaken out the jingle is still in the bell and it will ring now. It took many years to think how to make a sleighbell.
Cerberus.
In Greek fable Cerberus is the three headed dog that watches outside the entrance to hades. Some writers assert that he has fifty heads, but generally he is said to have three, and three snakes are twined about his neck. His cave is on the farther side of the dark river Styx, where Charon, the ferryman of the dead, lands the shades. Cerberus is supposed to welcome all entering hades, but to seize all those seeking to escape.

A Joke on John.
"I can't do this example," pouted John.
"You can do anything you want to do," replied his pa. "Even water may be carried in a sieve, if you only wait."
"How long must I wait?" asked John.
"Till it freezes," coolly answered Pa.
