for this readily suggest themselves to

I've walked a many a mile, Mary,
To find Sapoio.

You kept it so for aye,
And yet had time to spare. Mary;
Would you We're there to-day.
You made the work but play. Mary;
All women might do so,
And all should know the charm you say
Lies in Sapoio.

The Monogram U. &.


There is a little monogram
We see where'er we go;
II offers us protection
Against foreign foe.
II stands for light and progress
In every foreign cline,
And its glory and its greatness
Are the themes of many rhyme.
But few nave ever really known,
And few would ever guess
What our country meanB by marking
All her chattels with U. s.:
1t may stand for United States,
Or yet for Uncle Sam;
But there's still another meaning
To this simple monogram.
We see it ON our bonds and bills,
And on our postal cards;
1t deeorates our Capitol,
Swallowed by Stripes and Stars.
In all our barracks, posts and forts
1t plays a leading part,
Aud the jolly sailor loves it
And enshrines it in his heart
Now, have you guessed the message
Which these mystic letters bearf
Or recognized the untold good
They're spreading everywhere
Echo the joyful tidings,
And let the people know
That the Z. S. of our nation means
We Use Sapolio.

FITS SHOES FOR A LIVING.

For nearly thirty years Mrs. James
Donnelly has been working in New
York city as shoe filter, being, SO far
as known, the only woman engaged N
that business. When child she
learned the trade from her father and
worked at 1t until her marriage. Says
Mrs. Donneliy: Very few people
really know that shoe fitting is. The
term is merely technical, and when
simply applied means the fitting, shap-
ing and finishing of the vamp Of the
shoe ready for the shoemaker to sole

young, soldier in the army. My hus-
band. when the war broke out, left me
wI.a three children to support to fight

by 8 shot in the leg and sent home a

RESTRICTED IMMIGRATION.

We have arrived at the point where
we can discriminate as to accessions
to our population. 1t is a question
whether such discrimination can be
made effective on the simple line OF an
educational test. Such a test alone
would surely admit some of those whom
we are most DESTROYS to exclude; and
as for property test, that also alone
is undesirable for obvious reasons

ART OF THE DOWSER.

OF ENGLAND.
SMACKS OF BLACK MAGIC.
subterrnnean Streams Four Hun
dred Feet Beneath the Earth's
Surface Are LOcated-Many Great
Land Owners Employ Them.

LONDON. Nov. ARCHAEOLOGICAL sharps
have been deeply stirred the past few weeks
by attempts made to fathom the mystery Of
the ''dowsers." You may not know what
a dowser is, ard when you do know. you
viii probably discredit the existence of such
a person A dowser is a man. or woman,
who is possessed of some curious occult
force which gives the owner the power to
locate hidden streams Of water flowing 200
or 400 feet beneath the surface of the earth.
A dowser can walk over an unknown piece
of country and point out the exact spot
where a well or pipes can be sunk. He
can tell the exact depth at which water will
be found and also the number of gallons
an hour which can be pumped up.
Dowsers are scientifically termed ny
droscopists- The presence of subterranean
water has a peculiar effect upon their
nervous systems. The dowser. when prose
cutting his work. always carries hazel twig
in his hands. When he reaches a spot
where water is flowing underneath. the
hazel twig bends and points downward.
This sounds fantastic and unreal but the
truth of it must be acknowledged or the tes-
timony OF some of the most respected Brit
ish peers doubted. The psychic folks, who
have been investigating the dowsing mys-
terry, have collected a mass of corroborativs

TITLED DOWSER.
Lord Byr0n's motheT-in-law was a dow
ser. as shown from the following extract
from the memoirs Of Mrs. De Morgan.
Lady Byron's mother. Lady Milbanke,
had the faculty of using the OWNING rod,
and was often asked by her neighbors and
tenants in Durham County to exercise It
for their benefit when they wanted to sink
a we'll. Lady Byron told US that she had
seen her mothers hands held tightly by
Dr.. Fenwick. a wei known scientific physi-
clan in the north, who, going behind Lady
Milbanke, pressed the fingers Of each hand,
holding it so as to make the stick point up
ward in the air. Nevertheless, when the lady
had walked a few steps the twig suddenly
turned round and, defying the doctors
hold. pointed to the ground with such vio-
lence as to tear the skin from the fingers,
and even to draw blood"
Americans had some experience with fake
dowsers in the early mining days of Cali
fOrnia. when a number Of Spaniards ap-
peared among the miners with alleged di-
vining rods which they claimed would
point out the golden treasure in the hills.
Fancy prices we're paid for these rods,
which. Of course. we're absolutely worthless.
