Those shouldâ€"alâ€" ways be protected with wall thimbles surrounded by an air space, and not approaching wall or ceiling closer than ten inches. Overheated pipes are a very prolific cause of fire. Care should be exercised that stovepipes are in good condition, and well supâ€" ported. Other causes of fire due to heating equipment are starting fires with coal oil or gasoline, placing kindling in the oven or too near the stove, overâ€" filling fire pots, drying clothes over stoves or pipes, and the careless handling of ashes.

And as the woman of old took stock of her household so we 23 woâ€" men today, each and every one of us, must take stock of ourselves to see what is demanded of us and what we require physicaliy, mentally, morally and spiritually to equip rs to meet this new order, remembering always that we must first recogrize in ourselves that natural law, that destiny and purâ€" pose for which nature has created us as women: That whether or no we realize thai destiny in our own lives, in the making of homes, in the creatâ€" ing of new life, or whether as independâ€" ent human beings we go out into the struggle and warfare of lifeâ€"we should carry with us the recognition that as the builder, as the uplifter, as the interpreter of motherhood in the broader sense of the term, in a someâ€" times too dark and unlovely world. woman will make her best contrtlnr The camera doesn‘t lie.

"She must equip herself with a knowledge of maternal and child welâ€" fare. since science has brought this knowledge to her very doors, and she will ultimately be responsible for the use she makes of it in directing her own lifé and the lives of her children. She must be equipped and prepared in case of sickness. This knowledge of health and of the physical needs of herself and those about her is the founâ€" dation on which the higher structure of life must be built. "Scientists and doctors toâ€"day tell us that many of the ills, especiallly those mental and moral weaknesses which make their appearance late in life, are due to unfavorable cireumâ€" stances and training in the early enâ€" vironment of the child. With this addâ€" ed knowledge that is placed in our hands toâ€"day there comes to women a new and even greater respomsibility. A study of child psychology, that is a knowledge of the mental develolpment and needs of our children, based upon the best instruction and knowledge which can be obtained on this subject from those men and women who have devoted themselves to the study of the part who of t the minds of children, should be a part of the equipment of every woman who is to guide and develop the minds of the young.

The Wider Vision, "If woman‘s sphere is in her home, her cducation and mental outlook must be large enough to travel across the threshold out into the great world beâ€" yond, and to learn life‘s struggles and problems if she is to prove a helpmate to the man with whom she shares the responsibilities of life and parenthood and if he is to be a guide and inspiraâ€" tion in the lives of her children. "She must have courage to face life‘s problems squarely, to think in terms of truth even when this hurts: she must equip herself with sympathy and understanding if she is ‘to mect with open hands the best and worst.‘ She must cultivate a sense of humor that she may acquire a knowledge of proportion and balance; and above all she can never afford to lose the gosâ€" pel of tenderness nd affection which nature has whispered to the hearts of all women if they will only take the time to listen and have the courage and strength to be themselves.

It is, as the Germans would say, the "nameâ€"father"‘ to paPET, and a very re spectable and worthy elder too. Bark had been used for tablets, and for writing letters which were capable of being folded up, during the best period of the Roman world, and such were still in use under the later emâ€" perors. The tablets were of bark on which the Emperor Commodus inâ€" NESLDO D3 on cndunditnie > sc It was & SIMpI® NEXMUD! idea of papyrus; the impr the use of tree bark being poelings from A reed ins reed was called Byblos : then very common and no‘ It was a simple thing, the Egyptian idea of papyrus; the improvement on the use of treeâ€" bark being the use of peelings from & reed instead. This reed was called Byblos or papYrus, then very common and now very rare in Lower Egypt. From its name, Bybâ€" los, comes the Greek word meaning book, and thus our OWn word for the Scriptures. This papyrus . Erew ab indantly in lakes and marshes, t0 A height of about ten feet; the diameter of its stem was two or three inches, and from its eurface peel could be taken off, layer after layer, to the number of some twenty coatings. The use of this peel occurred to the Egyptians as an improvement upon ordinary bark and the new writing material soon beâ€" came popular. It could be written upon one side only; but books were copied into long rolls, of sheet glued under sheet, the sheet which felt the first gline being called on that account the protocol, a term still preserved by diplomatists. The run on papyrus being vyery great, that plant began to show signs of scarcity in Egypt, and for that reaâ€" son, among others, its exportation was at one time forbidden. Paper From Rags. At the same time, the Kings of Perâ€" gamus became a literary sect, and wanted â€" something whereon â€" their scribes could write their books,. So the skins of the beasts, occasionally used in some places already, began to attract increased attention, they were prepared into dry substances, and callâ€" ed, after Pergamus, "pergament" or parchment, and vellum, meaning skin. This parchment was dear, however, and for common purposes papyrus was so" much more convenient that the Egyptian paper never really was supâ€" planted, until the birth of a system which got paper out of cotton, about seven or eight sundred years after the discovery of parchment. The world then worked on for a thousand years, before we hit on the plan of making the modern paper out of linen rags; a very lucky thing. for up to that time the monks, who could not go to the expense of much new parchment, had industriously been scraping out the copied records of anâ€" tiquity and works of its great masters to make room for their own writings.
