iF WE HAD THE TIME.

II had the timo to find place
And sit me down full face to face
With my better self. that stands no show
In my daily life that rushes so,
1t might be then I would see my soul
Was stumbling still toward the shining goal.
Knight be nerved by the thought sublime
IL had the time.
IF had the time to let my heart
Speak out and take In my life part,
To look about and to stretch hand
To a comrade quartered in Noluck Land
All, Godi II might but just sit still
And hear the noto of tho whippoorwill,
think that my wish with Gods would
rhyme
IL had the time.
If had the time to learn from you
How much for comfort my word could do.
And told you then Of my sudden will
To kiss your feet when did you i'll;
II tho tears aback of the bravado
Could force their way and let you know
Brothers. the souls Of us all would chime
II we had the time.

The Color of FLAMES.

You have often noticed the many
tinted bars and bands that rise in the
shape of "forked tongues of flame"
from wood burning in the CRATE. 1t is
ten to one, however. that you never
have thought to figure Oh the cause of
the variegated hues presented by flames.
To bring the matter quickly to the
point, we will say that the many colors
are the result of combustion among the
different elements of the wood. The
light blue is from the hydrogen and the
white from the carbon, the violet is
from the manganese, the red from the
magnesia and the yellow from the soda,
which are constituent parts of the wood.

started an idea which has In Il the
mori, OF good sense and the elements
Of comfort ard correct management
for many households
Training schools for domestic sery-
ants have been a pet project with
phllanthropists for many years. but
unfortunately they have not ,urned
out well, and have been temporarily
abandoned by their sponsors. who
gave them up, not permanently. but
only for the time being. or until some
more favorable conditions presented
themselves.
Il may be questioned n such an In
stitution will ever become popular or
self-susiaining. There are many ar
guments against Its success. and many
reasons why It has no good grounds for
hope OF long-contlnuod existence.
And the strongest arguments against
Il are the nature. education and hab-
iis Of the class for whose instruction
and benefit Il Is designed and main

Families whose daughters are likely

money to spare TO pay for educating

related OF woman whose house was
noted throughout the community as
the most badly-managod and in-kept
Of any dwelling In the place. A lady
In the nCighborhood was In need Of a
good servant. and this woman went TO
see about getting the place for one OF
her daughters After some prellmi-

the girl had had and where she had
learned housekeeping. With the dig
