Labor and sorrow?
Look to your looms again;
Faster and faster
Fly the great shuttles
Prepared by the Master.
LIES In the loom,
Room for it-room!
Children OF yesterday
Heirs OF tomorrow,
Tighten the labor
And sweeten the sorrow,
Now-while the shuttles fly
Faster and faster.
Up and be at it
AT work with your Master
He stands at your loom,
Room for Him-room!
Children Of yesterday,
Heirs of tomorrow,
Look at your fabric
or labor and sorrow.
Seamy and dark
With despair and disaster,
Turn it-and 10,
The design of the Masteri
The Lords at the loom.

On the Lending of Books.

The rare Memories on Taxation" by
J. l. Moreau de Beaumont, OF which but
few copies were In existence, was among
Adam smiths books. Adam Smith de
clined, and very naturally. to lend his copy
to Sir John Cinclair, who had asked for
the loan of it, writing that 'if any acct
dent should happen to my book the loss is
perfectly irreparable.
Adam Smith clearly valued his books as
much as Mrs. Grote did, but he had not
hit on her receipt" for insuring that she
obtained possession again of any book she
was asked to lend. Mrs Grote's habit was
to say TO the borrower, "I'll trouble you
for sovereign, and the pledge was tick
eted and kept In her purse till the volume
was returned.
Borrowing has been a trouble to al
book collectors A short sentence prefixeC
to McCulloch's catalogue bears witness &C
this:
Practically there is but little difference
between borrowing and stealing book S
1t is infinitely less difficult to do
fend oneself against petty larceny thar
against the solicitations of friend beg
ging for the loan Of book. ."-Atheneum

A Universal had Habit For Which There
IL No Justihcntion.

The act of putting "a lead pencil To the
tongue 20 wet IT, just before writing.
which we notice in so many people, Is one
OF the oddities of habit for which IL Is hard
20 give any reason. unless IL began n the
days whom lead pencils were poorer than
now and was continued by example into
tho next generation.
A lead pencil should never be wet II
hardens the lead and ruins the pencil. Thi:
fact is known TO newspaper men and ste
nographers. But nearly every one else does
wet pencil before using IT, This fact has
been definitely settled by clerk In news

Being Of mathematician turn OF mind,
he ascertained by actual count that OF 6C
persons who came into the office 20 write
an advertisement or notice 40 wet pencil
IN their mouths before using it.
Now this clerk always uses the best pen
ellis that can be procured-in fact, is con
noisseur In lead pencils, cherishing good
one with something of the pride soldie'
feels in his gun or sword-and it hurts hi;
feelings TO have his pencil spoiled. But
politeness and business considerations re
auired him TO lend his pencil scores OF
times every day And often, after 1t hac
been wet till It was hard and brittle and
refused 20 mark, his feelings would over
power him.
Finally he got some cheap pencils, sharp
ened them and kept them TO lend The
first person who took up the stock pencil
was a drayman, whose breath smelt o
onions and whisky. He held the point IN
his mouth and soaked it for several min

Then a sweet looking young woman
came into the office, with kid gloves tina
buttoned half the length of her arm. Sh'

1t to her dainty lips, preparatory TO writ

The clerk woud have staid her hand, ever

And thus that pencil passed from mouth

Bathroom Rugs.

Some sort of pretty rug is necessary to
put beside the bathtub to step out upon,
and it is quite essential that it should be
of some material in which the oolors are
well set.
There are on sale cork mats, and others
which resemble Turkish toweling, only
they are of heavy weight, but the rug to
be made at home is frequently in demand.
One is made of coarse basket canvas, with
plushlike center. the embroidery being
worked with thick ingram or colored cot
ton, and each stitch crossing over one
thread OF the material. The pattern may
be worked all over, OF merely as border
with plain center, but when covered all
over the mat will not be so likely TO show
any discolorations of water.
Odd lengths of brussels carpet may be
turned to good account for mats, with a
finish on the ends of worsted fringe or a
binding of heavy upholstery braid.

of Aim and Barrel.


"Its all in the barrel and holding

mary of the art of bullseye hitting at a
shooting festival at Glendale Park, l.. /.
But art in aim and dilletanteism In the
minutie OF the implements used are
widely apart Relics of the days of Crock
ett and Boone show that sharpshooting
today is as it was when the arquebusiers
of the primevai forest sailed forth for deer
meat with terrible hunting engines, some
needing the crotch of sapling for aim
taking, but the barrel was there, and so
was the "holding on" and men today do
not make truer shots at black disk than
did the backwoodsmen when rifles weighed
from 20 TO 30 pounds and only "a shot be.
hind the shoulder was considered sports
manlike.
The barrel, too, is the thing at the
shooting contests today. Given a rif]ed
steel tube, bored true and the gift OF
holding on" and the stock, lock and
other accessories are secondary in impor
tance, and the farmers son with his grand
fathers shooting iron" is II he can draw
a bead. a. likely TO take prize home as
the rival equipped with the most modern

IL is only question of aim and barrel,

century hence. when perhaps the ammu

isms of today will be regarded as antiques
