RAINY DAY LORE
Dear Children's Corner.
BY your column of rainy day lore" published
recently | was reminded OF some lines given TO me
in Devonshire illustrating the usual weather in
that beautiful country. The verse may be new TO
many persons:
The South wind blows and brings wet weather.
The North brings cold and wet together,
The West wind comes, brimful OF rain.
Tho East wind drives ii back again
And If the sun in red should set.
We know the morrow must be wet,
But when the is burned In gray
The Is rainy day.

Jealous Little Housewives.

A school of domestic economy at
Bethnal Green, London, carries off the
palm for enthusiasm among its pupils.
The school is built and finished in i'm
itation of an English workingmans
cottage, and the poor little girls of the
district are taken in and trained to be
capable wives for worklngmen.
The school has been n great success
and Is always crowded to its full ca
pacity, but either the ordinary routine
work must be deadly dreary or the
pupils zeal must be monumental, for
the records show that scrubbing and
stone cleaning are dealt out as re-
wards to deserving little women.
When pupil has been extraordinarily
good, she is allowed to scrub a floor or
blacken a stove for treat.
After ALL the theory may be sound.
Both kinds of work are delightfully."-
messy, and messness undoubtedly ap-
peals to the youthful mind.

and without a dissenting voice Florida
Graves carried the vote.
There are those farther north who
will agree with the selection.
Miss Florida Graves is Washington s
newest beauty.
She arrived there this winter unher-
aided and quickly established herself
as reigning belle. To Mrs. Bankhead,
wife of the Alabama congressman, was
given the pleasure Of introducing her.
The Birmingham beauty became a
Washington success. Senators. army
officers, diplomats and millionaires con-
tributed to establish her fame.
Besides beauty she has rare fund
OF sympathy and a love for art The
latter is most evident to her admirers
and friends when she plays the violin
For a woman she plays unusually WELL
with fire, with strength. She has stud
led under the best masters in Europe
and America and perhaps her most
beautiful moments are revealed when
she has close up against her neck the
smooth wood Of the instrument she
loves.

Harvard's New Rowing Tank.

Harvard has n novel rowing tank,
which Is the result Of faculty and col
lege study, and is n marvel of ingenui-
ty. BY 1t the Harvard oarsmen have
almost perfect rowing exercises and
training Indoors. The scheme Is the de,
yelopment of Professor Hollis of the
engineering department and chairman
of the athletic committee and his class.
He put the subject before his class as
n problem.
The scheme Is based on the idea that
the water In the old rowing tanks Of
fered too much resistance and dead
weight Professor Hollis and his class
could not make the boat shoot ahead to
lessen this resistance as shell on the
river does, SO they have arranged pro-
pellers run by electric motors at the
bow Of the boat" with supplemental
ry tubes and machinery, so that the
water rushes by the boat at a good
rate with the oars.
Beneath the boat are a pair OF circu-
lar, DETECTING planes, so that the wa
ter returns under the boat after pass
ing down the sides.
The imaginary boat, or support for
the eight sliding seats, is placed in the
center of the tank. The water rushes
from the bow down the sides to the
stern, so that the men pull with it, and
goes back under the boat.
AS result of this, the men are pull
ing with the moving water. Naturally
they pull faster than the water, so that
there is resistance to the oars, and the
harder and faster they pull the more
the resistance. In the same way, when
n shell Is rushing through the water,
the men are pulling water which il
rushing by them in the same direction
as this tank water.
The tank is of concrete, 63 feet long
by 26 feet wide. 1t has 80 inches of
water in it. The seats are on rectan-
gular wooden box, supported from the

School Bell Rings By Electricity.

Near Roanoke, Ills, near the center
of the state, there is a schoolteacher
whose ingenuity might not please all of
his pupils-that is, the indolent ones
K. N. Wheelwright teaches q district
school. and in district school, you
know, or perhaps some city children do
not know, the teacher has to ring the
bell and build the fire and sweep the
floor unless he pays some ambitious
boy to do 1t for him. But this teacher
does not have to hire boy to ring the
bell, nor does he ring it himself, yet, no
matter what he may be doing at 8
o'clock In the morning, that bell sets up
a clatter that no boy or girl can escape.
Mr. Wheelwright has arranged q clock
which at the proper hour sets in motion
an electric apparatus that puts the bell
to ringing. Thus the boys of that dis
trict have no longer any hope that the
teacher will be so engrossed in some
task that he will forget to call school.
The bell rings also at 1915 a. NJ. p.

Basket Balls Growth.

Basket ball in the colleges has enjoy
cd an unprecedented growth this sea-
son. This Is not merely true because

country. All over the New England

with but few exceptions, are taking an
active interest In the game. A great
majority have representative teams
and in the remainder the sport is CON
fined to interclass games. There have
been disadvantages to overcome in or
ganizlng representative college teams
which do not apply to any of the other
college sports.
The principal one is that the use of
the gymnasiums for practice by such
teams can be had only at odd and in
convenient times Without plenty of
opportunity for team practice team
cannot hope to make a successful
showing Then again the game had
not been officially recognized by col
leges prior to this season, the same as
other sports, and this in itself caused
many of the most promising men in
the colleges to refrain from taking part
in the game. This difficulty is gradu-
ally being overcome, and 1t seems to be
only n question Of time when general
recognition is bound to come, as is evil
denced by such action on the part of
Harvard, Princeton and Cornell with
in a comparatively short time. This
means that ere long there will be inter
collegiate games between teams repre-
sentlng the big colleges, the same as in
football and baseball. In fact, some
games of this character have been
played quite recently, and more are
scheduled to follow.

though 16 years in the big league, Ryan
played as good a game last year as
ever. His batting might not have been
quite 30 good. but when hits were
needed he made them.
In one respect Jimmy Ryan held all
left handed fielders safe, and almost
all Of the right handed ones, too, for
that matter. In a throw to the plate
he was as accurate as If he carried the
ball to the catcher. This is remark
able. Flelders who throw with their
left arms are seldom sure The ball
takes varied shoots and is almost as
liable to go to the third or first base
man as the catcher. Not so with Ryan.
He could hand the ball'' to the catch
er from any part of the field. His arm
was strong, too, and many a runner
who attempted to score on an outfield
fly to Ryan was buried" at the plate.

LEARNING TO DO ONE THING
 WELL,

What the president said to the Texas Industrial and Normal school was:
 What we want more than anything el.'a, whether we be white or whether We be black, is to know how to do some thing well. If you will just learn how to do one thing that is useful better than anybody else can do that one thing, you will never be out of a job.
 This is as good advice as could be giv- en to the young man amb!tiouc. of sue cess in life. If the story of a majority Of successful lives could be told truth fully 1t would surprise us to learn on what small pivots great events have turned. It would be seen that the ba- sis of success has usually been thor orShness in doing some small and rela- lively unimportant thing. The opportu- nity for attaining conspicuous excel lence in something is. open to every man al some period of his life. It does nOt demand exceptional talent. He IS fa- rored at every stage by the fact that those with whom he is in competition give him every opportunity tc excel them, to take up duties which they are extremely glad to neglect. and to seize opportunities which seem to promise them nc immediate advantage. A young man does not need to be a genius to make himnelf invaluable to an em- plcyer. He can do this by being thor ough in the things which others consid- CT nesligible.-N. Y. Times.
