turn, may be even more intolerant

1t is most difficult thing for the
ordinary man to maintain what
would be called rational equilibri-

so strong in the average character
that often insensibly one drifts into

willing to allow that other manners
and methods can be even approx

Hobbies are very comfortable and

MULES AS TIMEKEEPERs.



When They have Done Their Trick on tho
Tcwpath. They Quit.
1t was just before Z 7o'clock in the
morning and the sun had just come
enough way from across the yea to
climb up part way on the big globe
and cast pale gray light over the
awakening city. Laborers and $. p-
girls were hurrying to work, shiv-
ering in the chill air that marked
the sudden appearance Of winter.
On the bridge crossing the canal
at the weighlock two men stood
Watching the approaching Loats,
and yawning and stretching in con-
temptation of another days work.
One was canal employee.
See those sleepy mules, y said he,
as he stretched himself again sym
pathetically. "See that clock over
there in the tower of the railroad
station across the river Two min
utes of z. Bet you those mules will
give the time first before the whis-
tie blows. They're great on time.
Know it better'n you do. Just
watch"
The three gaunt beasts, with their
ears tapping in apparent forgetful-
ness, were urged into atrot over the
bridge, and the two men lodged the
towline that slipped over the bridge
railing to the other side of the canal
1t was one minute of 2. The mules
stopped on the towpath.
All three loudly brayed, and the
chorus of "Enh hows" awoke the
sleeping people along the canal bank
for hundreds of yards And then
the whistles in all the factories sent
out steam into the cold air and in
tones shrill and somber sounded the
beginning of the days work.
"Wot tell you2 Them mules beat
'em out by minute, " remarked the
canal employee leaning on the rail
ing of the bridge. "They won't go
no further. They know it's time for
feed and rest. See the boatman.
They're going to takea snub and put
on new team"
Lines were thrown and in a few
minutes the canalboats were tied
fast to the bank. Three detected
looking mules, still munching a
wisp of hay, scrambled up the gang
plank, and their places in the stable
of the forward part of the boat
were soon taken by the timekeepers.
why, those mules" remarked
the canal man on the bridge, as he
watched the new team starting un.
der way and the towline stretching
as the lines were cast off, "know
more about the time of day than
you do unless you look at your
watch. They work just SO many
hours. They go along the towpath

dropping, to be awakened OCCASION

An Interesting Room,

II you want pretty room without
expense to yourself, try the expert
ment of decorating your walls with
the pictures cut from the newspapers.
Every day there are interesting scenes
from foreign lands, wonderful ships
and beautiful ladies. Cut them out
carefully and mount on squares Of
rough gray paper. Without framing
these, tack them upon the walls in
irregular designs until nearly the
whole of the wall is covered. You
will be amazed to see how pretty and
attractive your room is. A young lady
who decorated her room at a summer
resort in this way was delighted with
the results. Her only complaint was
that her friends looked at the picture,
instead Of visiting with her.

Ghastly Cannibalism.

Advices from Brisbane, Queensland,
contain CHASTITY story of cannibalsm
in the German group of the Sulu
islands. 1t appears that a Queensland
trading cutter, the Sea Ghost, with
three white traders and crew Of seven
natives, was boarded by the treach-
erous natives of the island of Baku,
who murdered two of the whites and
six Of the blacks. Their bodies, it is
asserted, were then dressed for a can
nibal feast. In the meanwhile the ma
tives found keg of rum, and soon they
were all helplessly drunk. Before they
recovered from their stupor the surviv-
ing white man and the native seaman
managed to unloose the ropes with
which they were bound and escaped in
small boat, from which they were
picked up by British ship.

clergyman, warming to his subject. "let

In the Past.

Far In the East storm cloud rises
While overhead the glad sun shines,
Anon is heard distant rumble.
Like mighty blasts from hidden mines,
Or, like the groans that issue from the
earth
Presages some volcanoes awful birth.
The silence. But on yon horizon
There still appears that murky cloud,
The suns rays strike but do not pierce
1t,
As out 1t stretches like shroud.
"A storm is coming," some vain rascal
cries,
Then goes on with his cheating and his
lies.
But when, indeed, that storm cloud rises
And breaks, it's mighty course shall
From heav'n to earth. from earth to
heaven,
And sweep the world from pole to pole.
1t may not be until some future day.
What time it breaks no mortal man can
say!
So In your course, o Earth, roll onward.
For men heed not each passing cloud,
And canting hypocrites will flourish.
TIL breaks the thunder long and loud.
o Mighty One! when those dread thun-
ders cease,
May We enjoy Thy everlasting peace.

The BecOmingness Of Tulle.


Any woman, say the wisacres, looks
the better for wearing white or cream
tulle next her face, and acting on this
suggestion every woman who studies
her appearance wears tulle stock and
big tulle bow under her chin. Some
of them button up their black, brown or
dark-green walking coats to not only a
tulle collar, but small tulle dickey
that spreads down below the bow. They
get this by means Of the same crisp
charm Of linen, with none of its harsh
ness, for in cold weather linen Is q
cruel trial to the tender flesh Of femi-
nine throats. Tulle bows and stocks
are not after all SO fragile as they
sound, and not woman that wears
them but adds something to her looks

In the Japanese shops there are now
to be had sheets OF silk embroidery in

Doors which are at times an eyesore,
but which are necessary for practical
reasons, can be made very ornamental
by placing on them designs OF rope

the boldest designs are possible ON per-
fectly plain painted surfaces which
would be otherwise exceedingly un-
manageable, but II not applied with
both skill and artistic Judgment the
