HONESTY

From the Boston Traveller.
A day or two ago a 15-year-old
boy picked up a wallet on Cambridge
street, which, upon being opened,
was found to contain 1926. The boy
was an honest lad, and, having
counted the money, he waited where
he had picked up the purse for the
return of the person who would claim
ownership. Very soon a middle aged
woman hurried breathlessly down
the street, and, stopping before the
boy, demanded whether or not he
had seen anything of a pocketbook.
The boy promptly turned over the
money and its receptacle, and then
the woman said: "You're an honest
boy, and I'Il repay you" The next
morning the lad called at the address
which the woman had given him.
She opened the door, and, perceiving
who her caller was, directed her
steps toward the pantry, returned,
and then she handed the young man
that form Of pie popularity termed I

ON DRESSING THE HAIR.

From Harper's Round Table.
The prettiest way to arrange your
hair? Especially if it is very long,
very thick, and a most beautiful col
or, yet can not be worn hanging down
in braids, because you are too tall for
anything so childish, nor fastened up
in a graceful Psyche knot at the back
Of the head, quite near the neck,
because it is too heavy, and comes
tumbling down at inconvenient seas
ons. Lovely hair, but an embarrass-
ment of riches, is it not?
If it were my hair, and l were the
dear young girl who finds it a bother
and a burden, l would coil it on top
of my head and wear it like a crown.
l wouldn't mind it's having the effect
of making me look taller, and l would
stand up very straight, and look as
tall as / could. In my opinion height
is a beauty, and l eve care about a
| girls being tall, except to admire
her. Tall girls must mind that they
carry themselves well, and do not
stoop nor crane their heads forward
as If they had lost something and
were perpetually looking for it. YOU
remember Tennyson's picture, do you
not, a word picture such as only 9
poet could paint:
"a daughter OF the gods,
Divinely tall, and most d~ivincly fair"
If the coronal effect were unbecom
ing, or gave a feeling of weight on
top of my head, then l would braid
the hair in several strands, and mass
it all over the back of the head.
would simply part it in the middle,
aud avoid fringes, and bangs, and
little curls, crimps, and other at
tempts at decoration in front. When
hair has a natural wave or ripple it ID
very pretty, and should have its way
but straight hair is pretty too, and
girls should be satisfied to YEA theil
hair in the style nature intended fol

BOOKKEEPING FOR IDEAS.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
One of the greatest elements in
successful business management Ia
method; the judgment of a rich and Q
poor man is not SO widely apart a.
their wealth; besides, often the
smarter is the poorer business man.
The whole world Of commerce de-
ponds upon the practice of book
keeping, and all that bookkeeping Ia
can be reduced to this: A record Of
business transactions kept SO that
they can be readily grouped and I'M
derstood as a concrete whole.
Bookkeeping is usually confined to
a record of money transactions. A
friend of mine carries the method
still further; no keeps books for his
ideas and informations picked up at
odd moments. In his vest pocket he
carries a little book which he calls
his day book. In that he records
everything he wishes to remember,
whether 1t is to buy Q bottle OF
liquid glue to mend his little girls
doll or a social engagement for the
following week. Everything goes
into the day book, from the name OF
Q man who wants a job to q scheme
~ 4.
to make a million that may 60 fitting
through his head.
In addition to the day book, my
friend keeps q "Iedger Of IDEAS"
Into this are transferred all such
matters as r likely to be needed
for future reference, like addresses,
suggestions in connection with his
business, all grouped in such Q way
that they can be turned to in a mo-
ment. When q matter has been dis
posed of q pencil mark is drawn
through 1t, and that ends It, except
that 1t serve as a memorandum oil
tho fact and the period OF time
whom entered, for these items are
divided by date lines indicating the
period when entered.

POTATOES UNHEALTHY.

From the Ladies' Home journal.
John Gilmsr Speed, DR.. Cyrus
Edison (ex-president of the New
York board Of healthy and Mrs. s.
T. Rorer learnedly discuss 1.-THE
Potato as a Daily Diet" and pretty
co~nclusively prove that the humble
but popular tuber is not a healthful
article of food. MIR. Speed asserts
that the potato as a food is not
nearly 30 valuable as we have gen.
| orally esteemed it to be. 1t is quite
deficient in nitrogen, and as a sole
diet is therefore unsuitable. 1t Is
hard to digest and therefore should
be partaken of s~paringly by all save
those who live active lives out-of-
doors. The potato provokes
our great national ailment, dyspep-
sia, and the sooner the consumption
of the mealy tubers begins the
sooner the dread fangs of the dys-
pepsia appear.
Dr.. Edison in a rejoinder to Mr..
Speed writes: I must quite agree
with Mr.. Speed in his condemnation
of the potato. I am sorry to have
to say anything against the humble,
but the truth, especially when it ia
scientific, and more especially medi-
co -scienti6c, must be told. 1t is
| certain no one can at all times eat
the potato with the assurance that ii
will do him no harm. -" The
practice of feeding potatoes to in
fants and young children cannot be
too severely condemned. A potato
diet may not kill them outright al
once, but it is certain to injure their
digestive organs permanently and
effectually, so as to make their lives
a burden to themselves and to those
who are brought in contact with
them. DR.. Edison also contends that
the potato is very deficient in nutri-
tive qualities, and has less value al
an article of food than most other
vegetables and cereals.
Mrs. Rorer writes: l am not {
potato prohibitionist, but l firmly
believe that potatoes should b
served only with strongly -concen
trated heterogeneous food, such a
roasted beef, or, for the vegetarian
with beans, peas or lentils.

yet lacking. while pulling with all theii
might TO keep the wheels Of evil going
they express regret that the signs Of
Code presence are not visible to the
naked eye. God anti nc such help rs
this, and Gods children must not be
misled by IL. Neither by mems misused
machinery, nor by their skeptical sneers,
will the devil be permanently helped, or
Gods cause seriously harmed.
"Woe unto them that call evil good,
and good evil; that put darkness for
light, and light for darkness" Verse
20). It has been said that "the worst
kind OF lying is to make the truth lie."
Nothing is more harmful or less excusa-
BILE than pointing in a wrong direction
to one who wants to know the right way.
To point toward the edge Of a preciplce
in the darkness, when asked a safe path
TO the MOUNTAINS, would be as foul mur-
der. Yet Just this kind OF evil doing is
too common a thing with parents and
teachers and others who are looked up to
as guides by those who need wise direcT
ton. He whose example or counse leads
a young person to think that an evil
practice is a good n comes under this
curse OF the inspired prophet.

"oh, Capt. Harmon, you think me

He was holding both her hands In

He read her secret at last, and the
parting moment never came.
"Now," said Capt. Harmon, "let
us make more promises. l, as we'll
as you, that nothing shall shake our
confidence in each other and that
while life lasts we will endeavor to
seek for each other the highest
earthly happiness"
Capt. Harmon did not return to
his regiment neither did the heroine
of Bonnie Femme make her home
auy more in her fathers house.
But among the sugar trees and wal
nuts, a neat hewn log house went up
very rapidly for every nan in the

every woman wantad to help cook

brought in, some to the pasture, the
poultry yard, the kitchen and the
parlor. So that there was plenty al

piness. The long lost mother and

that continued to 1ow even more

Woe unto them that rise up early in

drink; that tarry late into the night, till

early is all very well II we use our time
pro1tably after we are up. But if a man

self or to others, he would do better to lie
IN bed all day long. Following strong
drink is bad business at any time, but a
man who begins the day with strong
drink ia pretty far gone in his bondage
TO appetite. He who drinks before break
fast will drink after supper, and the ap-
petite that masters him before he is up
will be his master until he is bach In bed
again. Poor fellow.

work Of the Lord, neither have they CON
sidered the operation OF his hands ". 12).
Men who wanted to lave ga good time'
at great feast seldom forget to provide
music or liquor; but they are very likely
TO omit all thought OF God. They will
engage a choice caterer, and see to it that
there were waters enough to serve all
the guests; but in many instance they
fall to invite Gods presence, or to ask his
blessing on the occasion. What was true
as to this in olden time, in Israel, is true
to-day in America and Europe; and it is
Just as unwise now as then. Asking
Gods blessing on a feast is quite as i'm
portant as any other preparation for "a
good time;' and it is well that the fitness
and need OF this blessing be borne in
mind by all who would prepare or enjoy
q feast. OF course, there ought to be
nothing at a feast that we could not be
free to ask and expect Gods blessing on.

o lack OF the right measure and use of

their day aud sphere. The man who gets
up at the right time In the morning, in
order to do the right thing then and all
through the day, is likely to do well and
to be thought .'lucky." On the other
