Marriage as a Profession.

Marriage for girl is undoubtedly a
profession, and profession which re-
quires an education. She must recog-
nize how much depends upon her
health and the health of those commit
ted to her care; how much depends on
her being careful manageress of her
household and of the money put into
her hands for use for the welfare of
others. Above all, she should be taught
that wives and mothers are made, not
born, and no girl should attempt to
marry without having received some
instruction in the science of house
keeping and of making money go as
far as it possibly can.-Chicago Post.

Children Picking Nutmegs.

Fancy picking nutmegs! This is
what the children of South America
and the tropical islands do almost as
soon as they can walk. Gathering nut
megs is something like gathering chest
nuts. Nutmeg trees are planted in
groves. The trees are twenty feet
apart and have long, green leaves, very
dark and glossy.
The nutmeg is enveloped in a husk
about the size and shape of a rusty
coat apple. When perfectly ripe, the
husk splits and the nut falls out. The
kernel of the nut is the nutmeg of
commerce. 1t is beaten from the husk
by children. who climb the nutmeg
trees and thrash the branches with
poles The air is sometimes so heavy
with perfume that the young nutmeg
gatherers are overcome by it's heavi-
ness and have to be borne from the
grove on the shoulders of companions

ALWAYS BE ON TIME.

Do Not Be "a LnGgnrd Like the Boy
In This Little story.
The writer was not long ago instru-
mental in securing a good position in
a store for boy about fifteen years of
age. He needed the place very much,
for his mother was in the most reduced
circumstances, and this boy was the
eldest of six children, and the mother
was widow.
At the end of two weeks the mother
came to me to ask if 1 would be willing
to go to the store and ask the proprie-
tor to take Willie back again.
Take him backv 1 said. sHas he
lost his placer
Yes, sir. They sent him back home
when he went to the store yesterday
morning" A call ON the proprietor of
the store elected the fact that the boy
had been discharged because he was
never on time"
He was late every morning." said
the proprietor. He always had some
excuse, but l could not have a boy of
that kind in my employ. If excused
him, l must excuse others. l insist on
every person in my employ being here
on time. l am here myself on time,
and it is only right and just that they
should be here also'
1t is right and just that every boy
who is paid for his time should be at
his post on time. He will find that
punctuality is of high value and that
the lack of it will be a stumbling block
in the road toward success.-American

A pear suspended from the ceiling by
Il piece of thread is to be cut exactly
in halves as il falls, after burning the
thread on which it hangs. How can
we find the exact spot to place the
knife ON a chair or the floor so that the
pear in falling will be cut? This is
done by dipping the pear in glass of
water After suspending the pear
few drops of water will fall on the ex.
act spot, which must be noted. These
preparations must be made before
your exhibition, so that the audience
will only see the suspended pear, with
out knowing anything of the drops OF
water. When the moment for the per-
Torrance has arrived, place the edge
of the knife on the exact spot, then
burn the thread, and the pear in fall
ing will be cut in two.-American Boy.

Urban Longevity.

That the country is the place to ac-
quire and preserve health is theory
that has been exploded by the United
States census statistics. We have here,
tofore been advised to go to the hills
and Wales, the field and woodland, the
lake and river, where there is an unin-
terrupted prospect and the air of heav-
en- has free sweep, but now this adj
vice must be changed and the pent up
cities recommended for health, if the
census authorities are right.
According to the official figures the
city has decided advantage over the
rural districts in the matter of human
longevity. The average age reached in
the cities is 1872 years and in the coun-
try 31.1. There the urban has an adj
vantage of IL years over the suburban.
The advantage of pure air in the coun-
try is apparently more than offset by
sanitary and food advantages in the
CITY.

The heart of man is a book-nay, II
is an Encyclopedia k everything that
has ever come within the range of its
personal experience. 1t preserves an
eternal record of all the stories il
which 1t has played part. 1t is
strange what sad things may be hidden
in its depth without giving any token
of their existence. The heart may be
gay and may send the smile mantling
to the face, but all the while you sec
only the topmost stratum. If the graves
beneath were to give up their dead. the
smiles would seem strangely out of
place.

The Kind WASH.

A story Of how one wasp cared for
another that had been injured is told
by a gentleman who while reading the
newspaper felt bothered by a buzzing
of wasp about his head and knocked
it down. 1t fell through the open win
dow and lay on the sill as if dead. A
few seconds afterward, to his great
surprise. a large wasp flew to the win
dow sill and. after buZzing around his
wounded brother for few minutes,
began to lick him all over. The sick
wasp seemed to revive under this
treatment, and his friend then dragged
him gently to the edge, grasped him
round the body and flew away with
him. 1t was plain that the stranger,
finding a wounded comrade, gave him
aid as well as he could and then bore
him away home.

"Born and died on the same day"
is true of the following conspicuous
men: Shakespeare was born April %,
1864, and died April %, 1916. Raphael
Segio d'Urbino, the great artist, was
born on Good Friday, 1883, and died
on Good Friday, 1920, aged thirty-sev-
en-. Good Friday is movable feast,
so the day of the month may not have
been the same. Sir Thomas Browne,
author of ''Religio Medici," was born
Oct 10, 1905, and died Oct. 10, 1852.
Timothy Swan, composer, was born
July %, 1888, and died July %, 1912.
St. John of God, one of the most emf
nent of Portuguese saints, was born
March 8, 1895, and died March 8, 1850.
John Sobieski, king of Poland, who de-
livered Vienna from the Turks, was
born June II, 1929, and died June II,

A Missouri paper gives an account
of an amusing little tragedy" which
it claims occurred in it's town. A man
and his wife were riding home on a
street car. He was reading his paper,
when another lady got on. The car
was crowded. and without glancing up
he arose and gave her his seat, receiv-
ing gracious smile in payment. The
mans wife Immediately got up, gave
the bellrope hard jerk and invited
her husband to get off. When he
looked around to learn the cause of her
anger, he discovered that the woman
to whom he had given his seat was his
first wife, whom he had divorced two
years before. They walked the rest
of the way home, and he is still ex-
planning.

Ironing Handkerchiefs.

In ironing handkerchiefs it is useful
to remember that the middle should be
ironed first. To iron the edges first
causes the middle to swell out like a
balloon and makes it difficult to iron
It satisfactorily. Test the iron care
fully before using it. A piece of rag
should be at hand for this purpose.
Good manners is the art of making
those people easy with whom we con-
verse. Whoever makes the fewest per-
sons uneasy is the best bred in the
company.

And left it there a minute.
Then she took it out again
To see If ii was done;
But, no. of course, it was not baked:
1t only had begun.
So then she put 1t back again
And left it there day,
But when she went to take it cut
The cake had burned away.
