Are You Intoxicated? *" n * Wn ' * ,inU IS, The Snow Fairy. There was nothing Angela liked bet- ter than coloring the pictures in storybooks. storybooks. As she was really clever with her brush and very neat, her mother did not the least object; indeed, she had said that when Angela was a lit- ., tie older she should have lessons in painting. The picture that Angela decided^to j color on this very afternoon was one j that illustrated a story about a enow \ fairy. She would just have time toj finish it before it grew dark, for be-. sides the blue sky and a few fir trees,: there was little else to be done. It would be best, Angela thought, to leave most of the paper white, to represent represent snow. To be sure there was the fairy herself; but she hardly counted, being only half as big as the icicle that she was hanging to from a fir branch. Besides, her gown must be left white, too, like the snow. So there would really be only her long, fair hair and the star on her forehead, which would take but a dash or two of pair.t. The picture was finished before dark, and her mother said it was the best work that Angela had done. That night Angela went to bed feeling feeling very happy, for next month she was to begin, her painting lessons. The little girl pulled up the warm, woolly comfortable close round her ears,--so cold bad the weather grown, --and soon she was fast asleep. And then it was msrvet- e lonely upon the golden .hair.

The night the two Zeppelins came to grief was the coldest since last Winter, says the London Chronicle , 10 degrees of frost were registered in many places near London---but those who expressed surprise that the baby- killers should venture on a trip under such Arctic conditions know little about the upper air. The fact that the temperature decreases fairly uniformly uniformly up to a height of about 30,000 feet has been known for many years by means of automatic registering apparatus apparatus sent up in "balloons sondes," but it has also been ascertained that though the temperature at about 10,- 00Q feet is very low--in .the neighborhood neighborhood of 40 degrees of frost--it remains remains practically constant all the year round. However cold or warm it may be at the surface of the earth, the same degree of coldness is always encountered encountered a few thousand feet_afeove, and it was probably no colder in the "Zeppelin zone" that night than it is on the hottest day of Midsummer. <- -- KEEP LITTLE ONES WELL IN WINTER An Easy Job.

LOGGER IN DARING FEAT. Tree at Before Drinking Tea or Coffee, You Should Consider Whether Or Not It Is Harmful "There's a Reason" for ROSTUM How He Attached Cable to Great Height. A few weeks ago the crew of Higgins' Higgins' logging camp at Camelon Harbor, Harbor, Tribune Channel, about 80 miles north of Vancouver, witnessed an act of remarkable, daring and agility, performed performed by one of their number, which will doubtless be talked about for many a day in the Coast lumber camps, where feats of daredevil bravery bravery are as common as "scraps" among school boys. In the course of a shift to a new logging location it became necessary to attach a cable to a very tall tree at a point 120 feet from the ground. Usually this is done by a workman equipped with pole-climbing spurs and belt, but this time these means were not available. What was to be done? It would take several days to secure the equipment from Vancouver, Vancouver, and a shutdown of the operations operations for that length of time was not to be thought of owing to the heavy expense involved. This is where tall Andrew Busby came to the rescue, if reports are true. He was an expert chopper and skilled in using a springboard. With his axe and two springboards he began began to climb the tree. Standing on the first board, he chopped a notch five feet above him, slipped the second second board into the notch, climbed- up, and, drawing the first board after him, repeated the performance a score of times. In an hour, while his comipan- ions below watched him breathlessly, he reached the top of the tree and affixed affixed the. rope. Standing on a board a few inched wide, he was apparently as cool at 1Ô0 feet from the ground as when he was only five feet from terra firm», Busby - is now a private in the 280th Forestry Battalion, having enlisted in Vancouver a few days after perform ing the act above recorded. box-pleated skirt makes an excellent ; Minar ^> s Liniment Go., Limited, costume.
