There is a lobster farm. or pound, a. Il

Ne. This pound is the most successful
on the coast, whence 100000 lobster%
are shipped each year. The pound isS
formed by building solid dam across a
tidewater cove. This dam does not quite
rise to high water mark. but across the

WILLIS Grave.

THAT grave on the right hand of the
path as you go down to the porch door:
that heap of airth with no growth. not
one blade Of grass on it-that's Will,
Pooley's grave that was hanged unjust
ly."
Indeed! But how came such shock
ing,deed to be done?''
"Why, you see, sir, they got poor
Will down to Bodmin, all among stran-
gers. and there were bribery and false
swearing, and an unjust judge came
down-and the jury all bad rascals. tin
and copper men-and so they all agreed
together, and they hanged poor Will.
But his friends begged the body and
brought the corpse home here to his own
parish, and they turfed the grave. and
they sowed the grass 20 times over, but
twas all no use. nothing would ever
grow-he was hanged unjustly."

told me all this while what this man
Pooley was accused Of; what had he

Use Pure Water Freely.

Unhzgienic habits report themselves
enthusiastically in the skin both in color
and oder. To health and beauty it is
essential that one should use pure water
(rain water is best) frequently and free
ly and follow its use with brisk friction
all over the body with piece of coarse
flannel, which is wonderful aidi to a
soft and glowing skin, as it stimulates
healthful circulation. Sun and air'baths
are necessary to the proper nusritive
functions of the skin, and daily atten-
ton to the promptings of nature is i'm
perative to save it from becoming We

Sensible Points About Tins.

The greatest abuse Of the tipping sys-
tenn in New York is in the fees to jani-
tors and other servants connected with
apartment houses. 1t has become Gus
tom almost too strong to ignore in some
apartment houses to pay the janitcr, bell
boy, elevator boy. ETC., certain amounts
every month or fortnight this without
any regard to wh.sner the servant has
rc..ac::-; r,-.<.c..-; any particular service g. NOT.
The result of this ind:scrininate tipping
is quite natural-you get no particula,
service.
Not few tenants Of sc...ssrtment house,
have had an experience with janitors
which makes blacknlail preferable to tie
risk OF the repetition Of these expert
cnces. As in the case of walters, there
are a good many annoyances to which
tenants may be subjected which cannot
be cu.ed with a club and which do rot
even form a substantial basis Of COM
plaint. And they are not less aggrayat-
ing because you can't get away from
them or resent them. But to simply pay
a man indiscrilninately just because he
is there is a plan which releases him from
any obligation whatsoever.
I make it rule and can recommend
it after some experience to pay with
reasonable iberality for any special
service--that is, any service above and
outside of that which the man is en-
ployed to- render to every tenant in cosa-
mon. ARD never tip such men on gen
eral princi ples-that is, indiscriminately.
If an understanding to that effect is es~
tablished at once upon going into new

Dwindling Humanity.

From military and other records,
French inquirer has learned that
in 1910 the average height of the
European man was feet 8 inches !;
in 1920, it was feet 5 inches and a
fraction and at present it is 5 feet
IA inches. This suggests that a regu-
lar and gradual decline is taking
place. Calculation from these figures
shows at this rate the average man
will have become a dwarf of Is inches
in height by the year 1000.

The Medicinal Value of Water.

The human body is constantly un-
dergoing tissue change. Worn out
particles are cast aside and elimi-
mated from the system, while the new
are being formed, from the inception
of life to its close.
Water has the power of increasing
these tissue changes, which multi
plies the waste product, but at the
same time they are renewed by its
agency, giving rise to increased APP
petite, which in turn produces flesh
nutriment. Persons but little accus-
toned to drinking water are liable to
have the waste products formed
Nfaster than they are removed. Any
obstruction to the free working OF
natural laws at once produces disease
