Case of Emergency.

The doctor in charge of the school
had always laughed at the idea of our
ever making practical use of our First
Aid to the Injured" lessons. He had
muttered something about "shoemak-
ers sticking to their lasts" and then
had said: you teach the children
that's your ine-and wait for me to
come if anything happens"
Therefore, when our delicate little
Mamie fell down stairs, we had not
merely the desire to give her immedi-
ate relief, but also a deep-seated but
unspoken wish to show the man that
we could do something. Mamie had
murmured, "My ankle-I twisted my
ankle" before she tainted. To bind il
then might help, and certainly could
not harm her. The emergency bandages
were produced, and, delighted to see
that there was as yet no appreciable
swelling, we bound the leg in most ap
proved style from toes to knee. 4.
We had just finished when the doctor
came. He snorted at sight of the ma
terials around, then, after an examine
ton of a few minutes, he said: VERY
good-very good, indeed! But you've
bandaged the wrong foot."New York

Changed Times.

Times have changed indeed from the
time when Sydney Smith complacently
observed that the United States ha /
SO much wilderness clearing to do that
it might well take it's literature, learn
ing and luxury in the bulk from Eng
lish factories.
"Why," he had asked, should the
Americans write books when a six
weeks passage brings them, in their
own tongue, our sense, science and gen
ius in bales ane hogsheads? Prairies,
steamboats,, gristmills, are their nat,
ural objects for centuries to come"
We might almost reverse this and
ask, "Why should the English feel i'll
at ease when six days passage brings
them our sense, science and genius"
For the time at least the Rev. sgd
ney Smiths chief notoriety seems to
be that he was the author of certain
observations whose truthfulness has
proved as brief as it was bitter.-Har

A PLEA FOR THE HOME.
It Is Necessary for Character Build-
ing, Says Bishop Potter.

ing says Bishop Potter.
In an article in the Woman's Home
Companion Bishop Potter discusses the
passing of the home in our large cities,
and dwells on the fact that in many
cases children are brought up by SER
wants rather than by parents. Here is
his conclusions:
IF there is no longer to be any home
life, any home circle and home sacri-
fees for the dear homes sake, then we
need not be in any uncertainty as to
what we shall have to anticipate You
cannot make character by means Of q
governess, tutor and q groom.
And meantime let the young found
ers of homes make resolute beginning.
You are looking forward to marriage
and the founding Of family, my young
brother, or you, my dear girl, whom
may God bless and guide always Re-
solve to have some law for the home,
and to give some regular and sufficient
time In it to your children. If we are
to recover out of its well-nigh lost es-
tate the beautiful and gracious insti-
tuition Of the home, we must make the
business Of doing so something of set
purpose and of definite plan. All the
way from the top to the bottom of our
vast and complex social structure
in the life of the wage-earner and in
that Of the capitalist, the clerk, the pro-
fessional man, the mechanic-that an
Gent and divine institution must be
lifted to its true place and held in its
rightful honor. Schools, gymnasia,
bathing-houses, recreation-piers, Ii
braries, model tenements, better food,
ventilation, improved sanitary condi-
lions, and the like, are all of value in
their place; but that which makes men
and women for God and humanity, and
the better service of their land and age,
is first of all the personal touch of some
strong and tender hand in the home.
God setteth the solitary in families,
wrote the Psalmist long ago. Let us
respect His order and follow His way.
Home, Sweet Home is said to have
been written by a lifelong wanderer
who never had one. 1t is an immortal
witness to the deep and inextinguisha-
BILE hunger of the human heart"

A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY
Must Have Luxuriant and Glossy Hair
No Matter What Color

The finest contour of a female face,

mouth, loses something if the head is
crowned with scant hair. Scant and
falling hair, it is now known is caused
by a parasite that burrows into the
scalp to the root of the hair, where it
saps the vitality. The little white
scales the germ throws up in bur-
rowing are called dandruff. To cure
1andruff permanently, then, and to
stop falling hair, that germ must be
