The dictionary defines poise ~ "the
state or quality Of being balanced;
equilibrium; equipoise; hence. hgura.
lively. equanimity; rest" Poise in.
stills grace and symmetry into the
workings OF the mind. just as phy sical
exercise does into the movements OF
the body. 1t Is rarely . natural en-
dowment. but may be cultivated to the
point where it becomes second nature.
Poise always carries with 1t sugges-
ton of reserved force, and the woman
who wishes to acquire It must learn
to husband her energy ~ well rs her
time; she must not fritter away words,
moments or emotions. writes Ina Bre-
WORT Roberts, In Woman's Home
Compa nion.
The woman Of poise indulges In q
few excla amations or superlatives. and
does not waste enthusiasm over tri-
fies. She is gracious, but never gush-
ing. and she has acquired the habit
Of listening attentively, not awaiting
with ill-concealed eagerpess q pause
In the conversation to enable her to
rush in and take the floor. The wom-
an of poise never fingers after her

How many children have been ter
rihed by stories OF the "Bogy Man.
OF "the wolf that will come and eat
them" of "the policeman who will
put them in the lookup" till their
fear OF tie dark amounts to a posi-
tive agony. Bedtime should be an
hour inseparably associated with the
prayer at the mothers knee. fol-
lowed by quiet talk. nfter which
the little one settles down to . rest
ful sleep. But instead how often
does it happen that the child is
tucked In bed with the admonition:
Now go right to sleep, like good
boy, for II yog don't there's big
dog over there in the corner thatIl
come and bite you'll" Go to sleep.
Sheer nervous terror keeps the child
awake. How can he be expected to
grow up anything but timid? Ar

are plenty Of coigns Of vantage from
which crowds OF eager spectators, ma

the contest and encourage the riders

shouting.

in our slumbers; on the contrary they
run riot; but the professor is con-
vinoed that We never invent anything
In our dreams, and that the stories OF
musicians and poets composing won
derful things in their dreams are en-
tirely unfounded. During sleep all
that we have ever seen. or heard or
read is there TO be evoked by the slight

One phase of the present awake ming
OF Russian intellige nee Is wildly pic
,ured BY Alexander H. Ford. in Cen
iury:
Il once Travelled for more than a
thousand miles In faY-eastern waters
on Russian emigrant transport,
where convicts were huddled together
in the forward hold. Cossacks amid
ships. and the emigrsu,s aft. When
the ship drew up at the wharf at
Vladivostock. and the peasants who
had settled In the province a year or
two previously came to meet the lat
est arrivals from Little Russia, the
contrast between the unkemp.. slug
gish creatures aboard ship and the
bright, active men on the wharf was
striking, even impressive. The new
comers, practically slaves. the chill

turies to huddle together BY families

insellects could not yet take in any
thing unconnected with the vast
stretches about the homes they had
left $4,000 miles b<Aind at the COM
mand Of the csar. The entire mir had
received word 20 move on. There was
no word or murmur of complaint, and,
80 far as could discover. not one rey
of hope or spark Of curiosity inspired
these emigrants on their way to new
home and broader life. But about the
men on the wharf? There was moth
ing Of the stolid, sleepy Russian
muzhik about these far.eastern farm
ers who had learned the use Of modern
agricultural machinery, and even hired
Manchu coolies the year round to bear
the burden Of the hardest and most
meniai labor. Realizing by compsri-
son that they we're NO longer the low
est beings in the scale OF humanity,
the restrained Mirth and suppressed
freedom Of centuries seemed bursting
forth. Right and left these freemen
piled their whips, letting the lash fall

DR., LEYD's STRONG ROOM.
Steel safe That B,ea~. -. r..,,.~
ssDulehre Of Its Former
Owner.

DR.. Leyds, although not Boer by
birth, has spent so many years Of his
life with these strange, people that
he may be said to have assimilated
much Of their suspiciousness, says
Stray Stories.
One Of his most cherished posses
sions Is . case-hardened, fireproof,
steel strong room, which can be
opened only by himself.
The safe was originally made for
an Italian banker, who, to effectually
safeguard the interest OF his clients
from the predatory instincts of ban
ditti and secret societies, invented
three dials which made it impossible
even il thief obtained access to the
room. to get out again.
Two of the dials deal with the in
gress, and each dial has two hands,
which have to be placed opposite the
correct numbers before the door
opens. The third dial will reopen the
door when the occupant wishes to
leave. provided the hands are set op-
posite the same figures az the corre-
spending dial outside.
One day the banker omitted, when
entering his strong room, to reset the
hands Of the third dial. As his MEM
ory failed to retain the figures en-
ployed on his last visit, the door re-
fused to open, and. as the walls were
too thick to allow of his cries being
heard he was either stified or starved
to death.
The family of the unfortunate man.
believing that he had been made pris-
oner by the local banditti, offered
large sums for his restoration. When
repeated rewards failed to restore
him the banker was given up as lost.
As the strong room contained only
the deceased's private papers. no at
tempt was made to enter the room.
Some ten years later the manager de-
termined TO make use OF the safe,
and after considerable difficulty hunt
ed up the workmen who had made the
dials.
The bankers widow insisted, when
the room gave up its CHASTITY secret,
on the strong room being either de-
stroyed or sold.
Mr.. Kruger's factotum must have
strong nerves, for 1t is said he fire..
quently enters this death trap as
many as a dozen times daily. Should
the wires fash the news across, one
day: DISAPPEARANCE OF DR.. Leyds.'
II will not be difficult to guess the
fate that has befsllen him.
