Different Names Of Waves.

They have curiously different names
for waves about the coast of Great
Britain. The Peterhead folk call the
large breakers that fall with q crash
on the beach by the grim name "Norr-
ava Norway carpenters" On the
low Lincolnshire coast, as on the
southwestern Atlantic fronting shore
of these islands, the grandly long un.
broken waves are known as rollers. y
Among East Anglians heavy surf;
tumbling in with an ofshore wind, or
in calm, is called by the expressive
name Of a ,:ssslog;;" while well.marked
swell rus: hg in Independently Of any
blowing; is called a "home." 'There
is no wind,' a Suffolk fisherman will
say, "but nasty home on the beach,
Suffolk men also speak Of the clark
of the surf, and q sea covered with
foam is spoken of as ''feather white. y
The foam itself is known as 'spoor
drift" So, in the vernacular, we have
it. "The sea was all feather white

WISE WORDS.

There caa be no peace without
purity.
You'll n4ver be sorry for living
white life.
The young man who gets high wages
never wastes much time telling about
IT,
No one ever heard of man detected
in the act Of doing good claim that he
was hypnotized.
II is mighty hard to hunt up the old
clothes you have thrown aside when
you were prosperous.
He who looks for flowers will find
them, and he who is seeking for weeds
will find nothing else.
We must not take the faults of our
youth into our old age; for old age
brings with it its own defects.
Men must decide what they will not
do, and then they are able to act. with
vigor in what they ought to do.
Most men and women grow rich in
character rather by what they relin-
quish than by what they acquire.
The energy which some people waste
in denouncing their luck would almost
enable them to succeed in spite of it.
The worse behaved woman's chill
dren are the more she always thinks
she knows about bringing up other
peoples.
Sympathy is the fender on life's
trolley car. It's all right as far as it
goes, but it isn't meant to take free
rides on.
It is disagreeable thing to find
fault, yet there are some who seem to
like to do it simply for the sake Of find
ing fault.

a few spasmodic efforts. 1t can come

1yhx MOONLIGHT Looks Cold.

When the light is gradually reduced
the various objects Of landscape grad
ually lose their color. Light becomes
greenish as it diminishes in intensity,
and the reds, blues and yellows, being
reduced or absent, are not reflected by
surrounding objects. Hence moon
light always looks cold, while the sun
light is warm. As twilight comes on
red objects lose their color sooner than
others, finally appearing black, while
other colors are still Visible.

STONED Shoulders of the Young.


In this day and generation, when
the minds of children and youth are
crammed with various kinds Of knowl-
edge, obtained at the public schools,
it is not surprisin that their bodies
suffer in consequence. Not only does
the right shoulder become lower than
the other, from the weight of books
carried by the right arm, but the
shoulders droop. In many cases shout
der braces are tried as a remedy, tor
turing the wearer without affecting any
improvement. The reason for this lies
in the fact that the use Of braces does
not in any way remove the cause.
When one has for years assumed q
stopped position, the bones and mus
cles become SO adapted to it that it is
hard to change the habit. Nothing
but the utmost vigilance will enable
the student to overcome the habit of
sitting with bowed shoulders. But
stopped shoulders in many cases can
not be attributed to study. The de-
formity may be caused by sleeping on
high pillows. As eight hours out Of
twenty-four arespent in sleep, it is es-
sential that the position assumed when
sleeping should be o correct one. Let
| one who sround-shouldered try Sleep
ing without pillow. At first the want
| of it will be felt, but after few weeks
sleeping in this way, one cannot sleep
comfortably with one. This should be
proof enough that the muscles Of the
neck and shoulders are becoming
straiphtened. York Ledger.
