The Lack Of Reserve.

"He had no reserve" How often we
hear this expression on change or i'm
the street when a trm has failed or
when business man has been pushed
to the wall. II would make fitting
epitaph for the grave of many a fail
ure. A man without reserve is like
condemned. leaky vessel. On a calm
day II can be towed from port TO port
but IL would be utterly helpless in
storm.
Many fail from lack OF reserve OF
education. OF early training. OF solid,
ingrained habit. Others fail from lack
of reserve Of savings. OF capital Many
have gone down from the lack Of char
acter reserve. OF health reserve, Of
friendship reserve. IL pays to store up
reserve OF every kind. to be prepared
for every emergency. Too eXhauSting
effort, too eXtravagant expenditure, too
reckless daring or too much reliance
on unknown factors leaves no margin
or reserve so that a slip would mean
n certain fall.--SucceSs.

FACTS CONCERNING SLEEP.
Even Midday mp Is better Than
the Noon Menl


the Noon Meal.
The scholar and professional man,
like the anxious housewife. is apt TO
carry his cares to bed, and insomnia
becomes curse. Men and women who
are busted in getting and gaining. the
merchant, the banker all alike. fail to
secure that self control which can
manage the mind as we'll asleep as
awake.
Normal sleep should be purely n
physiological repose similar to the rest
OF animals, who go to sleep with the
darkness and awake with the light

but I'm my Judgment sleep rather sug.

OF course IL goes without saying that
night is not the only time for sleep.
Men and women who are busy could
steal just few minutes before or after
the MONDAY luncheon to catch little
nap, and, indeed, am nearly sure
that the MONDAY nap is worth far
more than the MONDAY meal. for the
digestive processes are surely hindered
during the periods of mental activity,
and IL is the exceptional person in this
busy world OF ours who is not called
upon To use all his brain and Drawn 10

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.

Not infrequently young woman
finds 1t necessary to launder shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home SER
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch. then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth. to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the IRON
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front. sides and the
sleeves. followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. II there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife. and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed 1t should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

HANDY BOOK OF INSULTS.
Thousands of Fighting Epithets Put
Into Dictionary.

Herr Schuch. n German author, has
compiled dictionary of $500 insult
ing expressions, carefully tabulated,
indexed and classified. The work. on
which Herr Schuch has spent years of
labor, is called the Schimpfworter Lex
ikon and Is divided into five general
heads-insults for men, insults for
women. insults for either sex. insults
for children and collective insults for
syndicates. groups and corporations.
Herr Schuch, with that minute discern
ment of the searching German. has sub
divifed these classes into smaller ones
SO that when one wishes to call bis
friend or enemy name it needs but n
short consultation with the book to
find the exact epithet or phrase which
will fit the case. This work would
have been invaluable to Mississippi
river pilots in the old days. and even
now the teamster. may regard 1t as n
welcome addition to his library.

WHAT TRUE REST MEANS.
Sense Of responsibility Is a Good
Thing at Times.

IniN9 dt Times.
l know two fairly responsible men
who spent some hours of a recent hol-
iday playing in the children's sand
pile at a country place they were Wis
Ting. Before they got through they
had worked out complicated system
of mountains and valleys. and one
of them had modelled an almost recog
nizable house. l know two other men
who, on a sudden impulse. bought
some marbles and played with con-
siderable enthusiasm on garden
path. In each instance the day and
the mood had something to do with
It. None of the men was childish
They were striving to catch once more
glimpse of the glory and the dream"
to reattain. for time. the old sense
of irresponsibility. This was not dis
creditable. l fancy that many parent
secretly does the same thing when he
enters into the pIayroom activities of
his children, or takes them to the cir
cus-always to amuse them. And If
after all, we must sadly admit that
We cannot gather up the rainbow gold
of childhood, it will not hurt us to
be irresponsible once in while along
with the children. In the Catskil
woods. ON the water. or galloping on
country roads-wherever we do not
mistake hectic excitement for true
happiness, the play instinct is the
samoa brief escape from RESPONSE
bility; a short respite from things that
we must do and want to do. but are
willing to leave now and then because
we know we shall love them the more
when we return to them.-The Great
Round World.

MOSCOW A GREAT CITY.
Former Capital Now Almost as Large
az ST. Petersburg.

The population of Moscow shows a
remarkably rapid increase. Within the
comparatively short period of thirty
years the number of inhabitants has
just about doubled. At the time of the
French invasion in 1912 the urban Mos
covites numbered about 100000, al
though the official figures were 252,-
600. In 1871 the official census gave
the population as Coz, 600; in 1882 it
was 76S,O0O, and according to the
reckoning now completed the historic
city contains 1,1T3,50O inhabitants,
thus taking the tenth place among the
most populous cities of the world.
Moscow covers an area of 101 square
kilometers, or only two kilometers less
than that of st. Petersburg. Area is
not, however by any means general
criterion, in questions of population, as
appears from the fact that whereas
London, with the largest population of
any city in the world, covers 303
square kilometers. New York. with
n population numbering more than n
million less than that of the British
metropolis, has total area of 795
square kilometers. The population of
Moscow is less dense than those of St.
Petersburg, Glasgow, London, Berlin,
and Paris.
