To the children who today go to
school and are taught in well explained
lessons, it would seem strange If
their grandmas should tell them, over
again, the funny way that examples
we're given when they went to school.
In those days children had to think
harder ami were given much less
help with their studies than they are
now. During your grandma's school
days, she never had racks of beads
and nice sticks, as objects by which
addition and subtraction could be
made clear; she never had trial ex.
amples shown by diagrams at the
beginning of each new portion Of
arithmetic. but had to put on her
thinking cap and study them out.
Now here is one example, something
like those grandma had to work, and
when you see 1t, try 10 get the answer.
and II you cannot, take 1t to her and
1t Is safe to say she will
tell you how to commence to
work it. 1t is, as you see, an example
in arithmetic, given in rhyme, as
many were in those days, as your
grandma will tell you:
When my wife and | were wed,
My age did hers as far exceed
As three time three does three;
But when ten years and half ten years
We man and wife had been
Ny age did hers as far exceed as
twenty does ten. '-... ."

A Springfield. Mass, man returned
from an absence Ct u years, during
which ne passed through adventures
enough TO fill a book. At tne age OF
eighteen, Benjamin Wolfe ran away
from home and in 1879 enlisted in
the British army.
In 1850 lie went to Afghanistan,
where he figured in the famous march
from Herat to Kandahar-a distance
1900 miles-made in six weeks by
General Roberts.
Later he was prominent in organic
ing the first dramatic company Of
English soldiers and was general man
ager Of its first production. which was
made at Sabather in Afghanistan.'
He has, as a souvenier Of the event,
a curious program, issued by the
soldiery, on which is printed the odd
Injunction, Gentlemen are requested
TO fetch their seats"
At one time. while on duty just
outside Of Sabather, Wolfe was as
saulted by FIVE Afghans and was LETT
on the ground for dead. He was
discovered by his comrades, however,
and cared for. He still bears the
marks Of knife wounds on his back.
The 4th Of August he started to
return to India, and rode a 1000 miles
on horseback, as his path lay along
the Hlmalaya mountains.

venurer returned about as rich as ne

How does a spider spin a thread
from one bush to another at a height
from the ground and then draw It so
tghtY asks a correspondent in the
New Century, Every one who has ever
walked through a country lane early
In the morning has felt the strained
threads upon the face. and often these
threads are many yards long, but the
way in which Il is done remains mys-
terry. He does not fly across, drawing
the thread after him, for he has no
wings, Neither does he descend to the
ground and then climb the opposite
bush, for this would lead to immediate
and hopeless ENHANCEMENT Of the COS
It?
M Favier, a French scientist, has
discovered that thread one yard long
VIII support, by its own buoyancy in
the air, the weight of young spider.
IL would thus be in the power of lu-
Venile to spin thread of that length
and trust to air currents to carry it
across and attach it to an opposite
bush SO that he himself could then
pass over and draw it tight. But many
OF these threads, to Judge from their
strength and consistency, are not the
work OF young spiders, and, as every
observer knows, they are often many
YARDS long and drawn so tightly that
tnat the face is Instantly aware Of
their presence when breaking themr,
me work is nearly always done In thaf
ficult.

Two girls who lived in a pretty lit

a suburban town were suddenly made
to feel the necessity Of making their
own living. Their father died, and
their mother was taken very i'll, so
that she had to go TO a hospital. The
girls were young and unframed, but
they were old enough to know that
they must help TO keep the little home
over their heads. They talked it

one.

way up here on the hill where there
are no stores, and the children have
to go way down town with their pen
niles, and store candy isn't nearly so
good for them either"
That was tle beginning. They
made candy, simple and wholesome,
and displayed It in their front bay
window, on a little shelf Of their own
construction. They arranged the win
dow at an hour when the children
were hanging around ready to watch
any new thing that was going on, and
soon they had their customers. The
children told their parents, who be-
came interested, and ran into the store
with suggestions.

ThOughtless Words.

In the course of our lives there must
be many times when thoughtless
words are spoken by us which wound
the hearts of others, and there are
also many little occasions when the
word of cheer is needed from us and
we are silent. There arc lives Of
wearisome monotony which a word of
kindness can relieve There is suf-
fcring which words of sympathy can
make more endurablc, and even in the
midst of wealth and luxury there are
those who listen and long in vain for
some expression of disintcrcstcd kind
ness. Speak TO those while they can
hear and he helped by you. for the day
may come when all our expressions
of love and appreciation may be I'M
heard. Imagine yourself standing be-
side their last resting place. Think Of
the things you could have said of them
and to them while they were yet liv
ing. Then go and tell them now.

10 fling all ll-fccling aside
Than allow the deep cankrring fcttcr
OF revenge in your breast to abide:
For your step DER lifc's path will be
lighter
When the load from your bosom is
cast.
And the glorious sky will seem bright
When the cloud Of displcasure has
passed.
Though your spirit swell high with
emotion
TO give back injustice again,
Sink the thought in oblvious ocean,
For remembrance increases the pain.
Oh, why should we linger in sorrow,
When its shadow is passing away
Or seek to encounter tomorrow
The blast that o'erswept us today?
Our life's stream is Il varying river,
And though it may placidly guide
When the sunbcams of JOY DER it
culver,
1t must foam when the storm
meets its tide.
Then stir not its current to madness,
For its wrath thou wilt ever regret,
Though the morning beams break on
thy sadness,
Ere the sun set forgive and forget
