Courtesy Is merely the natural ex- pression of a kindly feeling. Polite- ness chills and repels those who other- wise might be drawn together; nor can an assumed insincere manner re- main nndi ' >cted. Tho only way is to have the genuine kindly feeling one- self and courtesy comes of itself. But It is easily crushed because it Is so tender and it Is so delicate It mut be nourished. Read the Label Did you know that law compels manufacturers to label their goods? Housewives would gave a great deal of mousy if they would gat the habit of reading the labels on the foods they buy. It would do much to make for honesty of ooatenta and prerent adul- terations and do away with the use of poisonous or harmful ingredients. We should really read the label and kuow what is in tha package we purchase. A Few Helpful Sugestiona For grit In the eye apply a drop or two of castor oil. It relieves the irri- tation.

Twilight Hour Story What Lady Hen Did Chapter 2 Last week I said that Miranda Spar- row told Lady Hen not to lay her pretty white egg in hw nest iu the chicken house, didn't 1? She always did this before because she liked the kind lady from the big house who fed all th chickens such good things and gave them all the Rood cleaa water they could drink and because she did these things it made Lady Hen Lucy want to leave that egg in the nest for a present because she was 30 good to her. Nearly every day Lady Hen laid an egg and It always went along with all the others into the basket when they were gathered. But to-day she thought she would do what Miranda Sparrow fold her to do and what do you think that was? Well, Miranda Sparrow told her to hide h>?v egsts. She told her to hide them where no- body could find them. So Lady Hen Lucy went off by herself and thought the barn looked like> a pretty good place. She walked right through the door, making sure that tio cue saw her go in, after which she started looking around for a place. At last she hopped up onto a manger. Do you know what that is? Well, it's the place where the big horses and cows get their dinners and supper^ and you know horses eat hay. It was filled with nice dry grass. That's why Lucy thought it would be oft aud warm in there. Then she squeezed her wr:y under the feed box which held the oats, for horses have oats to eat too. which is something like our porridge before mother cooks it. She t'-^r.ght she found a pretty good place when Just as she was thinking that, George, the horse, came in for his supper, and oh Lady Heu was so scared she flew right in his face. Old George was surprised too and didn't like it very wall and he told her to please stay away from his feed-box. She clucked around and didn't like it either because George frightened her. So she flew right over to where Molly, the nice cow with the kind brown eyes, gets milked. Molly likes to come into the barn every night to get all that good supper the nice farm- er man puts in her mauger for her to eat while she gets milked. When Molly saw Hen Lucy in her foed box she didn't like it either and told her to go to her own house and then put down her head to shove her away. So Lucy had to fly out of there too. After all this she thought perhaps she had better go back to her own house and started back, but then she thought of those little baby chicks again and remembered what Miranda Sparrow told her, HO off she went hunting once more. Jflst then she happened to see a nice little corner away back In the straw* room where one end of an oM board had fallen down. Under this was some nice soft straw and It was dark and quiet in there, oh so quiet. She walked care- fully under, looked all around and then clucked to herself, "well now, this Is just what I want." She ruf- fled bar feathers and made a nice nest in there. Soon she got up, looked around, and sure enough there was a nice white round egg. Oh, how she wanted to call out and say ''I laid an egg!" over and over again as she al- ways did before, but thin time she thought she better be quiet or some- one would come and take it away. She wanted to keep it nice and warm so she sat on it all night mid didn't go back to her house at all. She got sleepier and sleepier, for it was nice and warm iu there aud the kind old dark was coming aud putting its gen- tle hands on her eyes Just like it does to you, little girl, and you. little boy. Tha dark is kind and cosy The dark is soft and deep. The dark will pat my pillow. And love me as I sleep. God made the dark - dajrtim* Could close Its tired e>ye. Aud sleep awhile in comfort Beneath the starry skies. Next Week "How Lucy Lived for a Long Timiv" "When a man sits out a dauce to rest his feet, he's dog-tired." Old Norah Kelly, who kept a small fruit stand iu Dublin, was displaying for sale a few water-melons. An Amer- ican visitor, thinklug ho would "take a rise" out of her, took up one and said, "Guess these are frightfully small apples you grow over here! Now, we have them twice this siae." Old Norult surveyed him from head to foot for a second or two. Then, In a tone of pity, she exclaimed, "Ah, sir. ye must be a sth ranger Iu Ooire- land and know virry lit.tle about the fruit of our couuthry when ye can't tell apples from gooseberries!" Good Dog!

The Colorado River passes through the Grand Canyon in Arizona. This fearsome cleft in the earth's crust is 217 miles lung aud In some places twelve miles wide and 6,000 feet deep. At a point where the gorge narrows to a little over 200 feet a dam is to be built 700 feet high and 900 feet wide at the bottom. It will cost $150,000.000 and ten years will be required to build it. The preparations for tho work are tremendous. A town is being built to house a population of 5,000 workers, whilst a new branch railway thirty miles in length is being constructed. To make the dam n&arly 5,000.000 cubic yards of soil and rock must be removed, and for the building 5,500,000 bum-Is of cement, 28.000,000 pounds of steel, 35,000.000 feet of piping and miscellaneous metal 20,000.000 pounds of gates and valves, 50.000,000 pounds of electrical equipment, and 16,000.000 ponds of hydraulic equipment will be required. Some 7.000.000 tons of gravel and saud ill have to be trans- ported from the diggings to the con- crete mixing plant. December 14.

INTRODUCTION There are three ac- counts given in Acts of the conversion Ov Saul, in two of which he is himself the speaker, 9: 1-W; 22: 1-21; 26: 1- 20. In several passages in his epistles he makes mention of this great ex- perience, the crisis and turning point of his life, Gal. 1: 15, 16; 1 Cor. 15: 8-10; 1 Tim. 1: 12-16. Henceforth ho gave himself with whole-hearted de- votion to the study and to the teach- ing of the doctrine of Jesus, son of God and Saviour, and became the apostle to the 'entiles, carrying the gospel message far abroad to Jew and Greek, Roman and barbarian alike, in Asia Minor, Greece, and Italy, and perhaps as far as Spain. A Jew by birth, a Greek by education, a Roman citizen, he was qualified in every way to be the amba-sador of Christianity throughout the Mediterranean world as it wa< in his day. Paul is here addressing the crowU which hail a littla before soitghtto kill him. Under the protect : on of the chief officer of the Roman guard sta- tioned close by the temple in the town of Antonia, standing on the stairs which led up to the tower, he made this spirited and convincing answer to his accusers. It was after his return to Jerusalem :.L the jnd of his third missionary jcuney. There he had been welcomed by those who knew and approved his mission to the Gentile*, but was warned of the strong hostility to hint both of the Jows in general and of Jewish Christiana who were zealous for the ancient 'aw, chap. 21: 17-26. Seven days later he was set upon in the tjniple by .Tews from Asia, who accused him of bringing Greeks into | the sacred precincts of the temple, was dragged forth and would have been killed had it not be<. n for the iak-- vention of the Roman grriard. Tarsus, in Cilicia, Saul's birthplace, as like Athens and Alexandria, a university city. There he v,as both "instructed according to the strict manner of the 1; w" of his owr. people, but received also a Greek education. At Jerusalem, he had the p-eat Gam- aliel as his teacher Gamaliel, who is ii entioned in chap. 5: 04 as a member of the Jewish council, ho spoke against the persecution of th^ tpostles, and whose name is still held in honor I by the Jews. Saul, or Paul, as we J should now call him, did not liare his | master's moderation, but confess^ s j that he "per ecuted this Way j unto the death." Compare chap. 3:i 3; 9: 1; 26: 9-11; 1 Cor. 15: 9; Philip. | :>: 6. It is interesting to notice here that Christianity had come to be known as a Way, and as a Life, rather : than as a doctrine or creed (see 5: 20 and 9: 2). Paui was, during this per- iod of persecuting zeal, commissioned . by letters from the authorities in Jeru- I salem to the Jewish magistrates in Damascus, to bring back for punish- ment those who ha<i fled thither. Many efforts have been made to ex- plain what happened to Paul on the way to Damascus as the result of na- tural causes. It has been held, and perhaps quite rightly, that he had been deeply moved b~ r the defence of Ste- phen before the Jewish coun:il, and oy the heroic and blameless conduct of that first martyr to the Christian faith, and that ever since that event he had been fighting an inward battle against the growing conviction that Stephen was right (see v. 20). This experience therefore, was the climax of that struggle in the blinding light of a great conviction. It was "the tempestuous mom-r.t when he stepped from bondage into liberty." It was the revelation of Christ in him, so that afterward he could truly say. "Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live by th^> faith of tho Son of God, who lov ' mo. and gave himself for me," Cal. 1: 15-18; 2: 20. It was necessary that this shock of j conviction should be followed bv sym-| pathetic and friendly instruction in the Christian way of life. "Ananias, a devout man accirding to the law, who c >uld understand and perhaps to some extent sympathize with Paul's Phari- saic mind, was the chosen instructor. It was in a truly Christian spirit that he came to Paul, the persecutor, with the word "Brother" upon his lips. The Changeling In Ms silk sleeping bag, on the branch of a tree.
