This Girl Is q Genius !

There is a young lady living out in
the west end who teaches class at a
mission Sunday School in the suburbs
Each Sunday she encourages the chill.
dren to be present on the following
Sunday by giving them hint in glow
ing terms Of what the next lesson
will be.
Last Sunday, as usual, she told
them that next Sundays lesson would
be about Lots wife; how she was
told to fly and not look behind her
how she disobeyed and looked over
her shoulder, and she was turned into
a pillar Of salt.
While the rest Of the class we're re.
volving the wonderful story in theil
minds in open-mouthed astonishment
there were two soiled fingers shaking
violently over the heads of the bal
ance, and when the young lady asked
for the question the owner of the fin.
gers exclaimed
Teacher, did they eat the salt p
The young lady's forethought is the
better part of her wisdom. She was
puzzled only for moment. She
smiled upon the tot who had given hel
such close call, and answered
"Oh, you must come next Sunday

A gentleman tells rather good
story on himself. To those who hear
it it is very funny; to the man who
tells it it is, or rather it was, not quite
so funny. But here it is; judge for
yourself.
This man-Mr. BIS very careful
about having the doors and windows
Of his house fastened at night. About
year ago burglar got in by means Of
carelessly fastened window and took
away a good lot Of "swag," besides
giving the family scare from which
they did not recover in month.
Since then Mr.. B. has been more
particular than ever about his fasten-
ings, and it has been the cross of his
life to train the servants to do the
work properly. In fact, for long
time he attended to it himself, but
when his wife secured the services Of
big, strong girl from the country, a
short time ago, he thought that he
might safely count upon her fidelity
to her duty.
But she was as careless as those that
had preceded her, and repeated lee
tures and renroofs had no effect.
Finally Mr.. B. determined to give
her good scare, and see whether that
would not induce her to think Of those
open windows and doors.
So one night be put on set Of big,
bushy false whiskers, an old coat and
slouch hat and crept down the back
stairs as softly as he could. He found
the girl with the gas turned low and
sound asleep in her chair before the
kitchen stove.
His entrance did not waken her, but
as soon as he struck a match up she
jumped. he expected to hear g. chorus
Of screams and cries and to see her
dart out of the kitchen at top speed.
But, bless your soul, she never
thought of doing anything so silly as
that. On the contrary, she rose like
female Samson and made rush at
the intruder.
Grasping him by the throat, she
turned and twisted him about, just as
terrier does rat, and then, jerking
up chair, she let it down with tre-
mendous force upon his head and
shoulders. The blow felled him to
his knees, from which demoralized and
unhappy position he vainly tried to
tell who he was and to beg her to
desist.
"You thieving burglar!" she cried;
"I'll teach you to come sneaking into
this house trying to frighten poor
girl out of her life, to say nothing of
the things you are going to steal-if
I'll let you'll"
As she was stone deaf to his entrea-
ties, Mr.. B. scrambled up the back
stairs as fast as his legs would let him,
while the girl hurried to his room, and
pounding upon the door, called out:
"Mr. B., get upl I've killed a
burglarl"

A Splendid Example.

IT think ambition is never given
without mind of sufficient power to
sustain it, and to achieve its lofty OBJ
jcct"
Who wrote these words ? A boy Of
16, named Bayard Taylor, as he look
ed proudly upon an autograph Charles
Dickens had given him, and left with
in him that fire of ambition that was
never quenched.
The Quaker boy of the little town
of Kenneth Square, near Philadelphia,
who was born January II, 1925, grew
to be very fond of books, and often
when sent to rock the baby would for
get all about the crying infant, so
deeply would he be absorbed in sto-
ry of travel or a DELIGHTFUL poem.
His father was a poor farmer who
had no money to spend on books. so
Bayard set out gathering nuts, which
he sold, and, instead Of rushing off to
candy store, like some boys and
girls, he invested his money more
wisely in buying books. At IA he was
studing Latin and French, Is found
him deep in Spanish. At II he was
no longer the pupil, but the assistant
in the school. The story of his life,
with its deep shadows and bright
lights, is beautiful and full of inspi-
ration.
Every boy and girl of America,
England and Germany should know it
by heart. And see how the penniless
lad at last reaches some of the nights
of his ambition, and at President
Hayes request became Minister to
Berlin, and was welcomed cordially
by Emperor William, and had for a
fast friend Bismarck. Some of his
works should be in every library

Old Enough.

The youth was waiting in the recep-
tion room for the young lady to come
down stairs, when the small brother
sauntered in with the well-known
nonchalance and savoir faire which
characterize him in conversation, to
while away the time.
After few minutes of general talk,
the caller thought he would take ad-
vantage Of his opportunity and CLEAN
a few items Of information not other
wise obtainable, so he went at the boy
straight.

chow old is your sister p
Johnnie thought a minute.
"Well," he replied, after due delib'

ters on their hands. Almost every
day they go sailing with the young
men who own or charter the boats and
come here to spend the winter and
their money. The little town is
crowded already with nice people.
Some are very .ich and some are poor
and need rest, but all seem to be
well-raised and well-mannered people
and have good credentials. Oranges
continue to come in in limited num-
bers, for there were some protected
spots, and the fruits that were on the
inner limbs were not all frozen. Co.
coanuts and pineapples are brought
from lower points, and grapes from
somewhere and apples from the North.
Young strawberries were killed but
the plants are blooming again and SO
in a few weeks fair Florida, will be

There is no politics down here. 1t
is never mentioned. The great freeze
has e1tinguished parties and partisans.
But I never heard it discussed before
the freeze, for there are no Office seek
ers in this sequestered spot. I asked
citizen one day who was governor Of
Florida. He studied a moment and
said "Corbett. " Another citizen cor
rected him and said, "Why it's Mitch

sense by what he feared for his son.
They traced the rowdies to the noun
tain, a thing easy enough as they had
made 30 much fuss on the way. The
rescuing party went up one side Of the
mountain as the rowdies went down
the other side, or else, perhaps, there
would have been bloodshed. Anyhow
no time was lost. The groans Of the
suffering man were soon heard and di-
rected the rescuing party to his relief.
Carefully they drew him up, every
man in tremble for fear the slender
ropes would break. Safely hauled
from over the terrible precipice, the
young man tainted away, while the
young woman fell across the prostrate
form.
Happily the young fellow was soon
brought around all right. The father
Of the girl looked on till he saw every
thing restored. Then, turning away,
he said:
"Let the ceremony be performed. !"
And performed it was, there being a
minister present. At the foot Of the
mountain the old father turned and
offered his hand to the newly married
pair, saying as he did 30:
"You are a great rascal, but you
are my son-in-law; come home and be
happy
Such procedure as the above would
be almost impossible in the same sec
tion at the present time. The cruel
ties Of these days may be just as pain
full, but they are more refined and
must be made more secretly. This
country all around Atlanta now is just
suited for those able to revel in the
luxury of beautiful suburban home.
In the summer the breeze is cooling,
the woods and flowers and green swards
inspiring, while the quiet from the
city's rumble is shooting to the busi-
ness and professional man and de-
light to the women and children. As
we hunted in the fields to the right
and left Of the Georgia railroad on
Christmas could not help from con-
templating the opportunities for in
dustrial development that it waiting
here, In going out from Atlanta east
ward the water that falls to your right
goes direct to the Atlantic ocean.
That which falls to the left goes to
the gulf of Mexico. Creeks with the
finest water powers flow both ways,
leaving wide plateau between unsur-
passed for suburban villas. The social
status Of these villas would never be
disturbed by the development Of these
powers along these creeks. One creek
here where we reside would impress
any capitalist in search Of mill sites.
Shoal creek, as its name implies, fair
ly bristles with the finest Of shoals.
In distance of one mile a dozen
places could be found suitable for
building factory. So it is in all the
country about Atlanta. Here and
there you find stream and all along
that stream you find the power.
The river, the Chattahoochee, is not
lacking in these opportunities, till, all
in all, even we older people are bound
to conclude that there is a great
future for this section, for Georgia,
for the South.
Where ruddy cheeks are glowing
By creeks and rivers flowing,
In this land where freezing billiards never
blow,
Is the place to start a boom
OF the spindle and the loom
'Tis the land where mighty fortunes soon
will grow.

well, sir, I'll put your ten with
forty cents more and play the races to-

wood Clothing.

Some Of the Japanese soldiers wear
paper clothing, which proves very.
durable, so it is hardly surprising
that French chemist should have
hit upon a method Of producing arti-
hcial cotton from wood cellulose.
The cellulose is heated under pressure
In a closed vessel with zinc chloride,
hydrochloric and acetic acids, little
rice oil, caseine and gelatine. A
pasty mass is thus obtained which is
placed in cylinder and expelled
through the base of the latter by
means of "a heavily loaded piston.
The threads, as they issue, are led
flrst between two hot rolls, then into
a weak solution Of washing soda, and
finally between another pair Of drying
rolls. The material weaves and takes
dyes we'll. The strength of the
cotton is said to be much increased
by parchmentising. AS this cloth is
waterproof and extremely light, it has
been suggested that it would form an
excellent material for the clothing
OF the masses in India. In connec-
ton with the subject Of wood pulp,
contemporary points out that the
imports Of that substance into Man.

Electrical Training.

There has been much discussion
Of the question of the training of cleo
trical engineers and the chances Of
success offered by electrical engineer
ing as profession. The fact has
been established that in these days
there is no such thing as a ready
made electrical engineer. A man has
to go through a very laborious and
highly scientific training before he can
be so equipped as to do justice to the
profession and to himself. Some
practical men, however, think differ
emily and say so. A writer in an
American electrical journal says:
1.-The truth is that a frst-class con-
structlye engineer can be turned out
in year or two" In commenting on
this statement, the leading English
electrical organ says: I'm our opinion
this is very far indeed from the truth j;
and the sooner young men realize the
fact the better will it be for the fu.
ture of the profession"

A Region of Outdoor Life DecidetSl
' Favorable to Health.
/. The Fastener bred and born at sea
level, has a very vague idea Of that
part OF his country, which is at cloud
height, and he has scarcely any con-
ception Of the governing climate of
such a section. The purely pictures
que appeals to Nthe tourist. and he
gives hardly a thought, surely not
serious one, to the high altitude Sec
ton through which he passes.
The AdifOndacks have accomplished
wonderful temporary healings and
permanent c1res for certain pulnon-
airy troubles, yet their beneficial re-
suits do not compare in extent with
those OF that section which lies at an
altitude varying from $500 to 5000
feet above the sea, known as the high
and dry Rocky Mountain belt, whose
heart is Colorado.
From a statistical comparative
weather bureau report little idea could
be formed of this climate, for in these
comparative statements the dry and
rarined condition Of the air is not full
ly appreciated. The dominant feature
of this high altitude is light, dry and
electrical atmosphere, with it's abund-
ant sunshine and clear weather. This
is true Of all seasons at the 6,OOO-foot
level, for while rain falls in torrents
for an hour nearly every day during
May, June, July and August, the sun
always shines the rest of the day, and
ten minutes after the rain has ceased
the sandy roads are dry, and the air
does not retain moisture. After these
months not drop of water falls from
the cloudisss sky. and snow storms
are few and light
The mercury occasionally drops to
20 degrees below zero during winter
nights and rises to 60 degrees in the
shade the following morning, while
in summer, although a blanket is al
ways a nightly necessity, the Their
mometer often registers 80 degrees
during the day, and the heat of the
sun is always intense These ex-
tremes are much less keenly felt than
they would be at sea level, owing to
the dryness Of the air.
1t is a region of out-of-door life,
where regaining health is a business.
Thousands OF beings. whose existence
would be measured by weeks if they
returned to the dampness of sea level
here are we'll and active. 1t is true
that some cases of pulmonary trou-
bic are not benefited at the 6,OOO-foot
elevation, but either the disease has
advanced so far that the invalid could
not live more than a few weeks in
any climate, or he is affected with
some heart trouble. Cases of the lat
ter sort migrate to an extension Of
this dry belt, which descends into
New Mexico, along the Pocos and
Rio Grande Valleys, where the eleva-
ton is from 5000 to 1000 feet. There
the action of the heart is modified
and the patient is more benefited than
in the higher portions of the Rockies.
