About Your Lessons. eov..

The boy who used to boast OF get.
ting the best of he teacher has been
heard from. The same traits of char.
acter which tempted him TO deceive
his teacher into believing that he had
solved his problems. and completed
his tasks himself. led him to cheat his
employer, TO idle whenever his back
was turned, and to shirk his days
work, until he finally lost his position.
His lack of education-the result of
cheating his teacher-has proved a
perpetual handicap. and has lost him
many good situation. His dishon.
esty, which started in the schoolroom.
has grown until nobody will trust him
and he has no credit or standing in
his community.
AS boy, he thought himself very
clever in being able to dodge his
lessons and impose upon his teacher:
but he realizes now that the person
cheated was himself. In those pre-
cious days of youth he robbed himself
OF pearls of great value which he
never will be able to recover.
The thief of time and opportunity
often thinks he is enriching himself,
but he awakes one day to the truth
that he is poorer and mearer for the
theft

Joss as a Chinese word. Cinnamon

contact with Europeans. A Chinese
priest that l became chummy With

such word in Chinese. He explained
that the word was corruption OF
the Spanish word 'Dios' and had come
into use through the missionaries.
Many early missionaries. he said.
were Spanish priests. and their pro.
nunciation of 'Dios' was speedily cor
iupted into joss by native tongues
and applied TO the Cninese deities.

the word is understood by Cinnamon.

Hair Pays the Rent.

Never has the demand for woman's
hair in Europe been greater than it is
now. and men are going from town to
town in France, Germany. Switzerland
and Russia, buying all they can ger
Ii is even said that one enterprisine
dealer has sent some agents to Chin3
for this purpose. says Stray Stories.
The finest hair in France is furnish
ed by Brittany, for the Breton womeE
have very luxuriant tresses. which new.
er fails to fetch a high price in Lon
don. Most of these women are poor,
and are quite willing to sacrifice their
hair, especially as they wear bonnets
which completely cover their heads,
and thus effectually hide them when
shorn.
France furnishes more brown and
black hair than any other country, and
fair and golden hair is furnished, as q
rule, by the women of Germany and
the north of Europe. Gray and white
hair is always in demand. and if of
good quality fetches a high price.
A Frenchwoman's hair weighs gener-
ally five and one-half ounces. an ltai-
ian woman's six ounces and German
woman's nine ounces.

Human Lives lonoer ;low.

Timid people and pesslmists are In
clined to fear that the progress of
invention is increasing the dangers of
accident and disease to such an ex-
tent that human life must necessarily
be shortened. This fear appears to
be groundless. Collected statistics
show that the average duration of
human life is steadily increasing.
Some interesting and striking facts
along this line are presented in
recent report of the Chicago board OF
health. The average duration of life
has increased in third of a century
from ii years to more than 81 years.
Exclusive of suicide, deaths from vio-
lence have decreased 63 per cent.
Deaths from railway and car accidents
have decreased more than per cent.
Since the partial abolition of rail-
ways on grade and the introduction
of tenders on cars, six years ago.
deaths from this source have de.
creased 1916 per cent.

TOLD BY THE CID CIRCUS MAN.

why They Didn't Let the Great Giant
Hattie in small Eodies of Water.
The greatest OF all giants said
the old circus man." was a great Teller
for goin' in bathing; he never neg.
lected a chance for that.
But at the same time he had to use
some sort of gumption, or we had TO
use it for him, about where he went
in, on account of the danger there
was from overflows caused by his dis
Llacement of the water. I we'll re-
member how we first came to realize
this.
About twenty rods or so below the
shows winter quarters there was
little pond formed by damming
brook that ran through our place.
There was a small grist mill on this
pond. turned by one of these old.
fashioned overshot water wheels.
The giant walked down to this lit
tie pond one warm spring day just be.

happen If he jumped into small

know, TO the necessity OF using some
sort of caution about where to let the
giant go in swimmin'. Obviously. II
wouldn't do for us to let him jump in
anywhere. into any little bit of
pond that we might come across; it
would cost us too much money.
And so he and the old man had an
understanding that he wouldn't go IN
anywhere without the old mans per-
mission; and we used to keep him on:

FORGIVE AND FORGET.

Forgive and forget,-it Is better
To fling all Ill feeling aside

or revenge In your breast to abide:
For your step Der life's path will ba lighter.
When the load from your bosom is cast.
And the glorious sky will seem brighter.
When the cloud of displeasure ha, passed.
Though your spirit swell high with emotion
To give back injustice again.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptivc 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consulnptive needs
most.
SCOTS Emulsionisthemo
ern method of feeding fat to
the consulnptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has 4 special
action on the diseased lungs.

Harrison, pastor of the Con- gregational church, Crown Point, N. Y., says: "I take pleasure in recom- mending A. Lincoln Kirk as an artist of marked merit. The entertainment recently given in my church was high ly commendable in every respect. The rendering of the selection from the Merchant of Venice was, to use the words of some literary critics present, "perfect. By the wise mixture of the sublime and ludicrous, MT Kirk reached all in his audience, and the evening with him proved entertaining, instructive and elevating." This en- tertainment is under the auspices of the Christian Endeavor society and they have worked hard to give Monroe a chance to hear reader and imper. senator of national repute, and it is hoped that good attendance will be present. Admission 25c; school children 15c.
