Chalk Wonders.

Few people know what a wonderfully
object a bit of chalk is when exam,
ined under a microscope. Take your;
knife blade and scrape Off a little OF
the loose powder. catch IL on a clean
glass slide and place this on the stage,
OF good table microscope. Use a
quarter inch objective lens and illumi1
nate the field with a cone OF light FROM
the concave side of the reflector. The,
powder will be seen 10 consist OF a.
confused mass Of beautiful tiny Shells,
many of them Of the most curious,
form.
A better way, however. is to rub
down a portion of chalk with an old
toothbrush In a tumbler half filled with
water. If you desire 10 prepare sew
eral slides, rub on about a teaspoonful
of the powder. Shake the tumbler
briskly, allow the sediment to settle for
a moment and then carefully pour Off
the milky looking water.
Repeat this until the water remains
clear, and you will then have left in
the bottom only perfect shells or large
parts OF shells. Take up a small pinch
OF this deposit and spread ii carefully
over the center Of a glass slide. Dry,
over a lamp and, II you wish to pre-
serve the slide for future use, mount 1t
In Canada balsam, pressing out the
bubbles OF air beneath the cover glass. 1

Very Cheap Rates to Colorado
On special days this summer the rates
for roundtrip tickets over the Burlington
Route from Chicago Peoria and st.
Louis to Colorado will be more than cut
in half, and on other days about half
rates will apply Then, since we put our
fast trains on, 1t only takes one night on

We are doing everything possible this
year to make it convenient and not too
expensive for people of moderate means
to spend their vacation in the Colorado
mountains. There is no country in the
world like Colorado for invalids and others
in search of rest and pleasure. The pure,
dry climate has the most astonishing
permanent effect on the health and
spirits of visitors, and especially is this
so in the case of those from that part of
the country near to the level of the sea.

Certain Duke and an Uncertain
BOy.

A certain duke, while driving from
the station to the park on his estate to
inspect company Of artillery, observ-
ed a ragged urchin keeping pace with
the carriage at his side. His grace.
being struck with the cleanliness Of
the lad, asked him where he was 60
ing. The lad replied:
ITO the park to see the duke and so
gers"
The duke, feeling interested, stopped
his carriage and opened the door to-
the lad, saying he could ride to the,
park with him.
The delighted lad, being in ignorancei
Of whom he was, kept his grace inter-
ested with quaint remarks till the park,
gates were reached.
AS the carriage entered it was salut-
ed by the company and guns, where;
upon his grace said to the lad:
Now, can you show me where the
duke is?'
The lad eyed his person all over,i
then, looking at the duke. replied quite
seriously:

you or mep'-Spare Moments.

~ ISLE MAXWELL remained
II perfectly still, staring hard

not comprehend them. Erna had eX-
pected an outburst of passionate anger
or vehement unbelief. There was nei-
Their. Somehow her earnestness had
impressed the truth Of her statement
upon her companion. 1t may be that
without realizing ii Isle was prepared
for the announcement. 1t certainly
meant less to her than Erna could have
supposed that it would.

"How do you know-how did you dis

own heart has told you already that
you are not a man. Don't you see that
you are like meY'
Like you? No. l do not think that
am in the least like you. am taller,
broader, bigger in every way. We are
not alike; we are very different"
"Oh, dear! Throw off your coat and

ing when you called me TO go to your

your hips are like mine. Press your
sides so, here at your waist. Now do
the same to me. l have left off my
instruments Of torture and so l am
not bullet proof this morning Don't
you see that, though larger than l am,
you are shaped the samep Men are not

Isle obeyed slowly and wonderingly.
Her calm eyes studied the blushing
face before her with an expression that
was filed with awe.
"Are they not" she asked presently.
