EVERY citizen should speak a good word for his own town, when and wherever the opportunity af- lords. Every possible advantage that the town has as model place in which to make a home, should be dwelt upon, and special in- ducements should be held out at all times to those who have capi- tai to invest. Capital is the most important and necessary thing for the building up and progressive advancement of town or com munity. Exert your energy to attract capital to your town.

THIS might happen right in our midst. A man buys a horse of a stranger. It turns out that the man who sold the horse had stolen it. The original owner of the horse comes along, proves the property and takes the animal. The poor man has no resource. Again: A rich man buys a note of hand from stranger. Itturns out that the note was obtained by stealth or fraud. The man who makes the note comes along. He is compelled to pay the note on the ground that it is in the hands of an innocent purchaser. Why shi5 difference? Was not the man who bought the horse an in- accent purchaser too2 Strange Isn't it?

Prince Rupert.s Drops.

Glass is an extremely bad con-
ductor of heat, and the reason why
tumblers and other vessels made Of
glass crack when hot water is sud-
denly poured into them is that the
interior of the glass expands before
the heat can penetrate through the
particles on the outside, which are
consequently then riven asunder.
Small glass toys called Prince Ru-
pert's drops, which may be obtained
at a glass blowers, show very clear
ly the effect of heat on bad conduc-
tors. They are made by dropping
q small quantity of glass while al
most in liquid state into water, by
which means a glObule with spiral
tail is instantly formed; the outside
of the globule cools and solidifies
the instant it comes into contact
with the water, before the inner
part changes, and this, as it gradu-
ally hardens, would contract were
it not retained and kept in its form
by its adherence to the outer crust.
If the tail is broken off or any 9TH
er injury done to the globule, it viii
burst with a slight noise and fall to
pieces. In order that glassware
may be durable it is annealed-that
is to say, it is put into an oven, the
temperature of which is allowed to
decrease gradually.

Boys Wild Ride In the Sky.

That it pays to look out and to
keep cool has just been impressed
on Stanley Hopkins, a twelve-year-
old boy of Lynchburg, o. At the
same time he learned how it feels
to hang on a rope 1000 feet up in
the sky. There was a balloon as
cension at the county fair at Hills
boro, and as the big gas bag shot up
Stanley got tangled in the guy
ropes somehow and was jerked high
into the air. Women and children
tainted at the sight, but the boy
kept his wits, grabbed the ropes and
hung on tight while the balloon
scared nearly. half mile, with the
aeronaut trying in vain to get hold
of him. Finally the man, after tell
ing him to keep holding tight, let
some gas out of the balloon, and
they slowly came down. Stanley
had been gone only eight minutes,
but the crowd was so glad to see
him that it almost smothered him.

Few better books are known

Tom Hughes at fifteen was tall
for his age; his long, thin face, his
sandy hair, his length Of limb and
his spare frame gave him lankness
Of aspect which was the cause, /
suppose, of the boys giving him the
extraordinary nickname of "execu-
toner"
No name could be less appropri-
ate, for there was nothing inhuman
or morose or surly in his looks, and
still less in his disposition. The
temper Of c bully was utterly alien
to him, and he was always cheerful
and gay.
He was one of the best runners
in the school, and many time have
seen him in the quadrangle just
before share and hounds"-he be-
ing one of the hares-lightly clad
and with q bag of scent" strapped
around him.
He was too keen eyed and OBJ
servant to be specially popular, but
all the small boys liked him because
he was kind and friendly to them.
He reached the sixth form, but
left before he had risen high in it,
feeling, no doubt, that his work lay
elsewhere.

went TO the Capitol, found Mason
and said: BILLY, here's what

nizes the honest man in business,

prevail. "Why do you deal with
Mr.. Jones 7" asks one person of an
other. Because he always deals

Such a reputation soon becomes
widespread. Nobody wants to be
cheated of the least farthing, and so
everybody fiocks to the place of
business of him who gives value for

the tenets enuneiated in the Deca-

How many women of to-day could
undertake wifehood under such condi-

modern American woman lacks cour-
physical health which IS the indispensa-

That is why good woman may be

WOMEN coNvIcTs.
To a great number of women the
house they live in is almost on a par
with a prison. 1t is prison-like in the
monotonous regularity of daily duties |;
prison-like in the absence of all pleasure
in what is done or Joy in the doing.
And the reason is to be found in
womanly ill-health. Few women realize
how intimately the general health is re-
lated to the health of the delicate
womanly organs. A woman may suffer
with heart Utrouble," disorders of kid
