It is very important that children should be allowed a voice in choosing a business career for themselves, and that their tastes should be considered before they are put out into the busiâ€" ness world. It is because they are not consulted in the matter of a future livelihood that so many square pegs live on in round holes. Many a young man who fails to make a footing for himself in the proâ€" fessional world, or the world of trade, does so because he is in the wrong enâ€" “ vironment. He might have done well had he followed a different occupation, ‘ but possibly he was hurried into tak-' ing the first "job" that came along, and was afterwards fearful of giving' it up lest he might be stranded. Parents Should Study Character of Their Children. Windows in a bedroom should never be closed completely, but both day and night should be open a few inches from the top. In the mornings the windows should be opened as much as possible, and the bed clothes so spread that a fresh current of air sweeps over them. The mattress, too, should be turned up so that this article may share in the hours‘ supâ€" ply of fresh air. Fortunately, for health‘s sake, valâ€" lances and hangings generally about a bed are rapidly losing their popuâ€" larity, and a hindrance to the proper ventilation of a room thus removed. The window curtains should not be too thick so as to impede the current of, incoming air. It is strange how little thought is paid to the proper care and ventilaâ€" tion of the bedroom in many â€" houseâ€" hoids. Windows in the dining and living rooms will often be regularly opened, and perhaps only an hour or two of each day spent in those rooms, but in the bedroom, where at least eight hours of the twentyâ€"four are passed, the air can generally be deâ€" pended upon to be stale and unâ€" healthy. It is possible that in a good many cases this undoubted fact is due to the now exploded idea that‘ night air is unhealthy. _ The tongue in health is always unâ€" der the muscular control of its ownâ€" er, and should be perfectly steady when it is put out. A tremulous tongue denotes weakness, and the tongue that is coated and tremulous in the morning, but that grows steadâ€" ier through the day, is generally the result of too much alcohol.â€"Youth‘s Companion. One strange thing about the tongue is that, although it so often betrays the state of the stomach to the physiâ€" cian, yet in two of the most serious stomach troublesâ€"cancer and gasâ€" tric ulecerâ€"the tongue is generally very clean. : "Thrush" consists of small «hite patches raised above the surface, and although not serious in itself, generâ€" ally shows that the constitution is In a longâ€"continued fever like tyâ€" phoid, the fur accumulates until the tongue is covered with a thick, brown mass that shades off to a lighter tint ‘at the edges. In scarlet fever the Vtongue is often covered with a white fur dotted with little red points. That is called the "strawberry" tongue. When the stomach is badly out of conâ€" dition, the tongue shows a thick white or brown fur; and those who are sufâ€" fering from tonsilitis, or from any other inflammation of the throat, may show a layer of thick, crenmy-l white fur all over the tongue. Someâ€" ‘ times, when the patient is much exâ€"| hausted, the tongue will not be furâ€"| red, but dry, red, and raw. | , Since it is a muscle, its general size and shape and its susceptibility to proper control, inform the physician of the muscular condition of the paâ€" tient; and the state of the mucous membrane that covers it indicates the general systemic condition. A perâ€" son who suffers from fever of any degree will generally show a "furred" tongue. The word graphically deâ€" scribes the condition, and «it is not neâ€" cessary to be a physician in order to recognize it. | One of the first things a doctor does when he is called to a patient is to look into his mouth. That is beâ€" cause it is the quickest and easiest way to examine an internal cavity of the body and observe the signs of health or disease there displayed. The mouth is lined with mucous membrane which is quickly affected by many disorders; and the tongue, which is simply a mass of muscle wrapped up in mucous membrane, is a veritable horizontal guide post.

A slip meant death, and an ugly death; but Williams risked it with a laughing imperturbability. He dropâ€" ped his rifle to the ground, then, while his fellows gasped, dived straight at a low, tiled roof twenty: feet below, The fall did not kill him. He cam> off the roof like a creature of India rubber, turned in the air, and dropped swiftly and neatly to his feet. "My new turnâ€"the leap of death!" he cried, striking the grotesque attiâ€" tude of the sawdust ring. Then he slipped into his coat, and went back to his place in the trench. Williams was as calm as possible, and continued to fire until the officer ordered him to descend. Ry his deâ€" scent he startled his comrades more even than by his ascont. Cooly he unslung his Lebel, pressâ€" ed the clip of cartridges into the magâ€" azine, began sighting steadily, firing nonchalantly. Each time his rife jerked and spat, the frail ruin that made his pedestal quivered. Williams, as steady as a rock, went on firing. The voice of the mitrailléuse became jerky and unsteady. Williams was as calm as naossihle He came to the summit, and 42 country lay under his eyes, i« »{ marked out in lines like a map. He hung there, looking about steadily, carefully; and the Germans, secing him, loosed a whistling wind of bulâ€" lets at him. But he paid not the slightest attention. He found the maâ€" chine gun, and shouted down the preâ€" cise position and the approximate disâ€" tance of the viece. ‘ Although there was a double chance of death in the smokestack, Williams took the risk. His officer shrugged his shoulders without refusing, when the clown asked if he might try. Wilâ€" liams stripped off his heavy coat, slung his rifle across his shoulder, and went up the chimmey like a cat. He clutched at the meanest projecâ€" tions, jumping upward even as those frail footholds and handholds crumâ€" bled under his weight. Tiny, omiâ€" nous cascades of rubble and mortar; fell down as his nimble feet passed scrambling up the shaft. The men in’ the trenches gasped; every moment they expected to hear the heavy fall of the brave man‘s body on the earth. But he did not fall. _ It was a grave situation. The fire of the gun was accurate and ceaseâ€" less. The French were unable to loâ€" cate the mitrailleuse. In despair, the officer in charge said aloud, "If we only had somebody up there we might be able to deal with them." He pointed to the top of a shattered chimney stack, that hung groggily over the deâ€" bris of the village. Its summit was thirty feet from the ground, but to get to the top meant the probability: of & violent and painful death. The Germans would shoot at the climber, and the smokestack looked as if it would come down at the slightest exâ€" tra weight and vibration. T.

He did not even smile when two of the big boys and several envious little girls helped Dulcie up, with much laughing. His very back looked stiff as Ginger canâ€" tered away. * The boys did laugh a little, but not unkindly, and Dulcie laughed back with delight. She had held so tightly to her brother all the way over that she had scarcely looked about her at all; but the motion had been fine, and she was very happy. And yet "MISTRESS OF THE SEAS."
