He knew where the giantâ€"powder cartridges and the fuses were in the tool house. â€" Born and bred in a mining camp, he knew how to use them, too. In five minutes he was stumbling in the dark towards the reservoir, carryâ€" ing the deadly cylinder, a long roll of fuse round his neck, and a miner‘s shove}. He dug a deep hole well into the bottom of the embankment and laid the cartridge in, with the long fuse attached, When he had rammed the earth in round the cartridge, he drew the fuse down a little gully, and built a ridge beside it so that the robbers should not see its trail if they came too soon, An Observant Child. A little girl was asked to go for a loat of bread and was given the money, "Is that enough, mamma®?" she asked.

This should help you to memorize them : Thou no God shalt have but me; Before no idol bow the knee; Take not the name of God in vain; Nor dare the Sabbath day profane; Give both thy parents honor due; Take heed that thou no murder do; Abstain from words and deeds unâ€" Nor steal, though thou art poor and Nor make a wilful lie, nor love it; What is thy neighbor‘s do not covet. Still, for the dwellers in such a house as we speak of it is not all peace. Constant order requires conâ€" stant thought and attention on the part of some one, and, if you are to live in an abode that is never damagâ€" ed, you have to be careful not to damage it. Unworn furniture is loveâ€" ly; but if you want yours to be unâ€" worn, you must never sit and never stand and move very little, or you will wear it. A prime element of peace is stability, and the human muscles were not meant to be stable, but to be used, with perpetual consumption of themselves and of everything that comes near them., The Care of the Eyes 1. The continued use of the eyes at cloge work is harmful, even if the eyesight is perfect. Rest the eyes every few minutes when studying or writing by looking up from the book or paper; if they still feel tired, do something else for a while. 2. To read or study when tired is to overstrain the eye. Therefore, avoid night study as far as possible. 8. When using artificlal light, do not let the light shine directly into the eyes. The light should come from behind you and from the left side. On no account let the artificial light some from in front. Don‘t worry about perfect results. Use "Diamond Dyes," guaranteed to give a new, rich, fadeless color to any fabric, whether it be wool, silk, linen, cotton or mixed goods, â€" dresses, blousas, stockings, skirts, children‘s coats, feathers, draperies, coveringsâ€" everything! The Direction Book with each packâ€" agle tells how to diamond dye over any color. But it is not so much the dwellers in the perfect house that deserve pity as the keeper of it. She may deâ€" light in dustless surfaces and unfaded ecurtains and unscratched wall papers. But, oh, the wear and strain on her of maintaining those things! How she resents soiled hands and heavy shoes and eager motions and irregular visitors and the unexpected generally! What little things become great to her, what trifies terrors! We all know the perfect housekeepâ€" er and admire her, and she someâ€" times contributes to our comforts, sometimes not; but she is not always happy, and, although her house is perfect, her spirit is likely to be tattered, patched, forlorn. It is better to have a frayed house than a frayed soul. 4.

In such a house evâ€" erything is in its place, high and low, front and back, and in its place alâ€" waysâ€"not on set and state cccasions, but always. The chairs and tables have their fixed relations to one anâ€" other and keep them. No dust is allowed to remain, or even to gather. The polish of the doors is immaculate. The furniture covers and the wall papers are intact, not faded by inâ€" trusive sunlight, not torn or frayed by the careless claws of puppies or kittens or the wayward activities of lively children. Every thing looks finished and as it should be, and stays so. M it is not stiff and artificial, and it need not be. The visitor feels that there is peace there, that life is orderâ€" ly and regular, and that the souls of the inmates are orderly and regular also. And the inmates themselves no doubt get pleasure out of it. It is a comfort to feel that you can find things where you leave them; and, in a world that is always too prone to be topsyâ€"turvy, a quiet corner, a safe harbor and a wellâ€"ordered resting place give the troubled soul a sense of security that enables it to go out and fiight its battles with more hope and assurance of success.

As children obtain their knowledge both in and out of school chiefly through their eyes, it is essential that parents should exercise a careful and intelligent supervision.

There are sprinkled over Paris watchmakers who make watches at home, making every part by hand, working as many or as few hours & day as they choose, with neither A foreman nor a union leader to say them nay. The big jewellers of the Rue de la Paix know all these men and await their work eagerly; but not even they can make one work faster or otherwiso than as be will, ite wife. But there are grave practiâ€" cal disadvantages about polygamy; he dared not give her the watch without remembering at least five other wives. So the attache was bidden to go back and get five more watches just like that one. He went to the joweller, and the latter seut for the man who made the watch. "You made this watch for gsleur?" _V:'flYeu. Does the purchaser say that there is anything the matter with it? If he does, he is crazy." \ "I told you he was crazy. I never duplicate my work. I am making anâ€" other watch now!" And rather than lose the sale, the jeweller, more clever than serupulous, had to send the watch to Switzerland, where the Swiss watchmakers made him the five reproductions for about the same price as he had originally paid for the watch, and the Sultan never knew the difference, But the old artist would have known! Before the war an attache of the Turkish embassy bought one of these watches and presented it to his royal master to curry favor with him. He in turn wished to give it to his favorâ€" "Oh, no!

P20 King 5t West 22708 | wHY SOME PEOPLE LACK GOOD LOOKS Scientist Explains Part Played by Certain Wonderâ€"Workâ€" Ugly folk are gullty of an injustice when they blame their parents for their lack of good looks. It is their pituitaries that are the real cause Oof their want of facial charm. Plain Janes and homelyâ€"looking Johne owe their Joint unattractivencss to the special pituitary gland . with which they were provided at birth. This quite small but very potent orâ€" gan is seituated on the under surface of the brain, reposing snugly on the bony floor of the #kull, well out of harm‘s way. From this point of vantâ€" agoe it directs those operations, using such plastic materials as skin, young and green bone, muscle, or flesh and blood, which result in the making or marring of your face. REAL CAUSE OF FACIAL Bometimes the pituitary gland has an inspiration, and the result is a Venus or an Adonis, It is dificult to explain why in one individual the pituitary should have obviously done its best and in another its worst. Of course it is not always the pituk tary gland that makes a sad mess of the human face. The thyroid gland, & modest, unassuming structure that hides in the region between your colâ€" larstud and your Adam‘s apple, often jends a hand in the making or mar ring of your visage. And considering the difficulty of ringing the changes without end on a couple of eyes, a nose, a mouth, and a pair of ears, the combined efforts of the pituitary and thyroid glands to turn out really preâ€" sentable faces, each of which, though resembling the other, bas an individuâ€" ality all its own, are to be highly come mended on the results obtained. Judging by Appearance. How is it done?* _ All that can be raid in reply is that these glands disâ€" til from their substance into the blood and lymph some very mysterious esâ€" sences which materially affect the building up and moulding of the tisâ€" sues which go to the making of our faces. It must be remembered that were it not for the beneficent activities of these and other glands every human being would be simply a replica of all the others. Wao should not be able to tell one man or woman from another, Fortunately the reverse is the case, and these _ wonderâ€"working glands which seem to pull the strings of life and growth of the human marionette are responsible also for our figures and even our characters, So it is that most of us can easily be judged more or less accurately by our appearance, The disposition, temperament, nature, and tone of the individuval depend upâ€" on the precise proportion in which the magic essence distilled from these ductiess glands is blended. The idiot is mentally and physically the product of his ductless glands. The genius is in like case, though so far it is impossible to identify which particular essence or what special gland plays the greatest part in his production. When science hae finally got at all the facts, idiots should be as rare as precious stones, and Shake speares as plentiful as blackberries. Degrading and brutal forms of emâ€" ployment are not without their inâ€" fiuence in the production of the posk tively repulsive face, On the other band, elevating, altruistic, and idealils tic activities have an obviously refinâ€" ing effect on the contours and expres gion of the human face. Beauty and ugliness, therefore, are the result of internal glandular @ctivlâ€" ty and of environment and habit of life. A word to the wise is enough.
