The boys of St. Paul's Cathedral
choir have a cricket and football field
out of London, where on the weekly
half-holiday they play amongst them
selves and with other schools and
choir schools. For the rest of the
week they possess what is certainly
the s%trangest playground in England.
The top of the roof of the school is
enclosed by means of strong beams
and wire netting, so that balls cannot
fall on the unsuspecting p~assers-by.
Here on the leads, hockey, stump
cricket, and the like go briskly for
ward in any of the odd moments which
they have to themselves. In the win
ter a thin sheet of water which quick
ly freezes converts the roof into a
skating pond, wherein the most anx-
ious parent could trust her con with
out fear of his failing through"
Those who know choir boys only with
those solemn faces which they invar-
iably assume when seated in their
stalls in the cathedral would be as
tonished to find what remarkably light
hearted youngsters they are when
skipping about on this roof of theirs,
despite the smuts and an occasional
Whit of smoke from a neighboring

A man who went away from home
some time ago to attend a convention
OF church people was struck with the
beauty of the little town in which the
gathering was held. He had plenty of
time, and while wandering about
walked into the village cemetery. 1t
was a beautiful place, and the dele
gate walked around among the graves.
He saw a monument, one of the larg-
est in the cemetery, and read with
surprise the inscription on it: "A
Lawyer and an Honest Man" The
delegate scratched his head and looked
at the monument again. He read the
inscription over and over. Then he
walked all tround the monument and
examined the grave closely. Another
man in the cemetery approached and
asked him: Have you found the grave
of an old friend?" NO." said the del
egate, "but | was wondering how they
came to bury those two fellows in one
grave."-Tit-Bits.

High Heels and Tight Shoes.

Many reasons have been given for
the preference shown by women gener-
ally for high heels. One is that the
practice adds height to the body; an
other that it adds gracefulness to the
carriage. To the latter we take ex-
ception, for it may do so as long as the
wearers stand still, but when they
move about it imparts what can best
be described as a wabbling motion,
which is the reverse of graceful. Tight
shoes, again, are worn with the object
of making the feet look small, but. as
a matter of fact, the better shape a
foot is the smaller it will look, but in
the disproportionately small foot there
is always involved an awkward gait.
The foot of a tall woman should be
larger than the foot of a small wom-
an. The foot in length should be
the length of the ulna, a bone in the
forearm, which extends from a pro-
tuberance in the outer portion of the
wrist to the elbow. OF course, the
ulna is longer in tall people, and to be
graceful the foot should be also. Many
people may be surprised that the foo!
should be as long as the forearm, and
might be inclined to dispute the fact
unless proved by demonstration. Big
women sometimes pinch their feet in
tight shoes because they are ashamed
to have them in proportion to theil
bodies, and thus in time they deform
them until they are out of all proper
ton to the body, and sometimes in the
direction they do not intend.

A SIMPLE HEALTH AGENT.
Drink Plenty of water Is a Physician
Advice fO W1mapI

Drink Plenty Of Water Is a Physicians
Advice to womens
A lady whose failing health was a
matter Of extreme uneasiness to her
family yielded to their e%ntreaties last
January and sought out the family
physician. He examined her thorough
ly and asked all sorts Of unpleasant
questions Of her habits, and finally
said: "You don't drink enough water"
Well, she listened to what he had to
say on the matter, and without the
least faith in his advice, she promised
to do his bidding. From two to four
quarts of water each day was his COM
mand, and that to a mi who rarely
drank more than a pint was a hard
task. However, she had set out in
quest of health, and if it could be
found in so simple a remedy as water
1t was hers at any cost whatever. In
curious ways she managed to get away
with the requisite quantity, and in less
than a week a marked improvement
rewarded her efforts. Today she has
no need of a physicians services, and
she does not expect to have so long as
she faithfully swallows her three and
four quarts of water each day. 1t is
a little strange that the thing which
has made Poland Springs and other
resorts famous has never been applied
to everyday life. The invalids who
visit those places drink all the water
they can hold and think the good re-
suits come from some of its properties.
Sheer nonsense! 1t is simply very
pure water taken in such quantities
as to cleanse the whole system and
flood every organ. Besides it's cleans
ing properties, water absorbs effete
matter and carries it through the sys-
tenn, and the purer the water the great
er its power of absorption. Diseases of
the kidneys yield to it's power.and liver
and stomach troubles cease to exist.
Even rheumatism, local heart troubles,
indigestion and the numerous other an
noying ills of the flesh due to impeded
circulation disappear before the resist
less power of plenty of water.

Two Interesting buildings.

Pictures of two interesting Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad buildings have been
reproduced in a recent issue of Truth.
One is the building at Frederick, Nd,
which has been used since 1881 as Il
freight station and which is still de-
voted to that purpose. In the little
cupola of the building a bell once
hung which was always rung on arrlv-
al of trains from Baltimore when
horses were the motive power of the
railroad.
The other building is the station at
Mount Glare, Baltimore, and it is noted
as being the location of the first tele-
graph office in the world. 1t was from
this building that Professor Morse
sent his celebrated message in 1914 to
his friends in Washington, forty miles
away.

This work will inspire a love for the
beautiful with orderly habits, which
will last through a lifetime. All chill

taught to cultivate and give plants the
tender care they require and thus learn
some of life's sweetest lessons. Ex-
ample is the first element to be consid-
cred in educating a child's mind. Don't
try to force the child to keep a gar

children see their elders do they wish
to do themselves, and If you have them

Jack %Squandcrs His Hard Earned Money
Sometimes by Proxy.
What do the jack tars in the navy
do with all their money? has often
been asked, although most people have
answered the question to their own
satisfaction beforehand by deciding
they spent it the first chance they got.
Many of the younger or newer ones do
get rid of their cash at the first op-
%portunity, but they spend it them
selves, and get their moneys worth,
or what they think or are made to be-
lieve is their moneys worth. Those
who are really warm in their follow
ing seldom take all their wages from
the paymaster. They let him keep 1t
during the cruise and draw 4 per cent
interest on it until the cruise is over.
Then, of course, some spend it all be-
fore they 60 back to the ship. They
have a good time all in a lump and
are satisfied to wait for e~xtravagant
days again until another cruise is
over. These are the men who have
no one except themselves to care for.
While on the man-of-war they need
not go short of anything and yet not
use their money. Moreover, they will
probably attend to their duties better
and have a much finer time when the
cruise is at an end. Those who have
wives or families or relatives to care
for usually send their money homo
regularly and faithfully. Often, how
ever, their confidence is meanly
abused. Married men make up this
class. They send their wives COM
Portable incomes, and that is all these
wives care for them for. These are
the wives who married, simply for what
there was in marriage in a money
way, with the additional advantage or
convenience of not having a husband
around much. Unluckily for women of
this class, not all jack tars a main
tain wives. Only chief petty officers
or first-rate petty officers a afford
the luxury of marriage, and even they
have to watch out pretty keenly not to
impair the due to their better halves.
