He suggested that there might be a home for dogs where Guy could get one for nothing Guy was not at all sure that he | wiintod a stray dog but he thought it better than 'none and asked his fa- ther if he wouldn't see what he could do. When his father came home that night he had something wrapped in a bundle which he handed to Guy and when he opened it out jumped a lit- "fla black dog. His father said that a man in the office had brought it in to take to the son of a friend but found that they already had a dog so Le was very glad to give it to Guy's father. Guy slept with the tiny dog close beside him although his mother ob- jected. Guy named the dog Smut- ty and began at once to try and teach it some tricks. He taught Smutty to bos for food, tof wa'k across the room of his hind legs. to jump way up over Guy's arm, -and to bark thank you, when he was given a piece of meat, Every morning Smutty would come to Guy's door and scratch and bark to be let in and then he would jump on the bed, take hold of the bed: clothes, with his teeth and pull until he got then ovel his head. when he woull go to sleep until Guy was dressed. When Guy was ready to go down to breakfast Smutty would grab hold of his trousers and follow close after his master He liked to have Guy get a strong piece of rope and let him hang on to it with his teeth while his master swung him around and around.

Simple Things That Tell Us When a Storm Is JBrewing. On the subject of Hredic ting rain, Rok lin Lynde Hartt in the Woman's Home Coinpanion writes in part as follows: "Thee are plenty of soundly scien tific weather signs that ase right be- fore our eyes and vouched ior by the best meteorologists. For instance, the 'ring. around the moon," which is pro- duced by a thin, tihmy ctond made up of minute particles of jce--u state of things not built (0 Just. Either some unlooked for comwnotion will put a stop to it in a different manner, or it will pour 'cats and dogs' within three days at most. In eighty-six cises vut of a hundred the rule holds good. A still better sign is the 'ring around the sun.' "This is science, ie and simple, and =o is the old maxim: "The farther the sight the neaver the rain.' . It is not pessimism that makes people ulong the coast prediet a downpour. when they can pick out the separate hotises on a faraway island, or people in mountain- ous regions call it 'too good to last when a distant peak, geperally invisi- ble, comes into view. They are shrewd meteorologists in making these pre- dictions, and also in declaring that sounds carry better when a rainstorm is brewing. "Ot all nice, conVincing weather signs. however, a 'sickening sky' is pretty nearly the most reliable. When the deep warm blue grows paler, and then whitish; and your spirits drop, and. shadows fray at the edges and disap- pear, then you have a sickening sky. Rain is not being brought up ready- made from afar, it is being manufac tured directly overhead. "The color of the sky, then, is a fair- ly trustworthy sign in and of itself, and so is the color of the clouds. In- tensely white clouds against an in- tensely blue sky mean bright weather ahead. Grayish clouds on a lightish blue foretell rain." It is reasonable to assume that the number of stars in space having a tem perature so low that their radiations do not affect our eyes or photographic plates is extremely large. That these invisible stars are far more numerous than the luminous stars is suggested by F. A. Lindemann, who attempts in the Monthly Notices a rough calcula tion of their relative number based on the assunfption that new stars (novae) are due to collisions. He concludes that there are about 4,000 times as many dark stars as bright ones Man's Will Is All His Own, True education lies in learning to wish things to be as they actually are. It lies in learning to distinguish what is our own from what does not belong to us. But there is only one thing which is fully our own---that is our will or purpose. God, acting as a good king and a true father, has given us a will which cannot be restrained, com- gelled or thwarted.

Le Diable Marin (the Sea Devil) was one of the most famous of the nine- | teenth' century submarines. It was the invention of Wilhelm Bauer, who | launched it in 1856. This vessel was built of iron, She was fifiy-two feet long, twelve feet | wide and eleven feet deep and shaped somewhat like a dolphin. Her sides | were six-tenths of an inch thick and. could resist the pressute of a 150 foot column of water. The motive power was provided by, a screw, which was operated by a treadmill, and the up or down motion i was achieved by shifting water in lon- gitudinal tanks by medns of pistons. At the bow was a bomb or torpedo containing fifty pounds of powder. and near iy were two heavy india rubber gloves. Ly means of which a mun in- side the vessel! could reach out and fasten the bomb to the bottom or side of a ship. To purify the air Baner ar- ranged long pipes. which were quite effective inPevivifying the stale air for a short time. The Russian government supplied him with a crew of eighteen men. who were to wake a trial trip with him, but on his first descent they were so alarmed as to be useless, and when the Diable Marin roseagain to the sur. face they cried. "Praise bas to God!" When his men were more accustom- ed to the work Bauer executed many | wonderful maneuvers and on one occa- sion stayed under wrote letters 16 his mother, King Max- imilian of Bavaria and the Grand Duke Constantine The Knight of Snowden. A Cambridge High school boy fig. ured out the character of James Fitz James in "The Lady of the Lake." He did it on a piece of paper which his teacher took away from him. Here is what he calls the "Knight of Snow. don: 'A bow legged, knock kneed, pigeon toed, cock eyed, broken nosed, donkey earned, bone headed, wiggley, crippled nut AS if that were not clear enough, he accompanied the epithets with draw- ing evidently: of the noble knight with the sun laughing at him from the Bhies Constitutional Government, Rr constitutional government" {is meant the government that has checks imposed upon it by a written (or un- written: constitution or charter.

Weighing Words. An Advertising Expert says, weighs his words, says what he means and no more, is the one who gets a reputation for solidity in his community. Advertisers should remember this. Exaggeration is futile--it does not convince. Aside from the morality of the matter, it does not pay to insult the inteliigence or stretch the cred- ulity of your public. Get a reputation for truth- ful advertising, and people will go a long way out of their road to do business with you." Good advice and fortunately followed by near- ly all our local advertisers.
