1t Required Courage to Make the
Sacrifice She Did.
4 girl stood one day in the waiting
room of an office in London. She had
come in answer to an advertisement to
apply for Il secretary's post and was
awaiting her inspection. She needed
the position, and She waited anNiously.
Presently she was called into the Of
flee, and the interview was SatiSfacto-
nv, but she was asked to wait, as there
was another applicant to be inter
viewed. She went into an adjoining
room, and through the open door she
saw small, pale woman, nerHously
answering the questions put to her,
and could hear the pitiful story of her
husbands death, the small children
dependent upon her and her need Of
work. The woman was told, however,
that her services could not be accepted,
as another person had already applied
and had just received 4 promise of the
position.
The girl listening in the next room
had hardly understood what was 60
ing on, but at this point her heart
bounded with joy rs she realized that
she was the accepted person. The next
moment she SAW despair written OH
the face OF the widow and perceived
suddenly what this failure meant to

walked quickly back to the other room
and said quietly to the employer: 81

left the office without another word.

OIL PIPE LINES.
Ingenious Device by Which the Ions
Tubes Arc Cleaned.

Ingenious Device by Which the Long
Tubes Arc Cleaned.
The long pipes that carry crude pc
trolcum from the oil wells to the re-
fineries many miles distant are clean
ed by an ingenious device. \ writer
il the Omaha Daily Bee describes it:
AS the oil flows through these I'M
foreground conduits some of the par
atiin in the fluid incrusts the sides of
the pipes and proves serious him
drance to the free passage of the cur
rent of oil.
The device that is used to remedy
this evil is Il knife about two feet in
length. with Il sharp edge. constructed
like the thread OF Il screw; indeed, the
knife resembles huge headless screw.
1t is. of course. slightly smaller than
the pipe through which it is to pass.
When the thickness of the crust of
parafIin renders Il cleansing necessary
this instrument is inserted in the pipe
at the oil fields. The pressure of the
stream of oil drives it forward, rerolv-
ing rapidly as it hurries along and
scraping the channel clean.
It turns and twists and cleanSes in
thi:; manner throughout its whole
journey aid finally dHops from the
pipe in The midst Of the vast stream

DIAGNOSING PAIN.

ThEaic-I SIGNS which Distinguish
Real From Assumed Suffering.
"'IICw do you diagnose pain:' was
one Of the questions put by the state
board the year received my diploma"
said y0uAG dentist. Il WAS rather
stumpcd at the time, but 1 have since
learned that tie query was a perfect
IL natural one. The idea is to differ
Cntiate hctween real pain and assumed
pain. There are some people so sto1cal
while in tic operating chair that not
sound escapes them. not even the sus
picion Of Il grunt, though they may be
suffering severely. On the other hand,
there are people, men and women alike,
who try 90 give the impression that
every touch of an instrument is tor
turu.
"But there are always physical signs
by which we can distinguish between
the real and Tie assumed suffering.
Beads Of pcrspiration on the forehead
is one, ard when the pain is not so
severe, but still keen enough TO be felt,
there is an involuntary twitching of tho
muscles of the cyclid. Then we know
it's the real thing and act accordingly.
Why, have even known women to pre-
tend to faint and carry the bluff
through when they were not suffering
the slightest pain. "-Philadelphia Rec

DWARF TREES.
The Abnormal Croyvths That Are
Produced by the .Jupanese.


Produced by thc Jnpanese.
Tho curious modification of natural
growth dates far back. We read that
in 1926 Professor Mcylan saw a box,
ore inch square and three inches high,
in which were growing Il fir, 4 bamboo
and tiny plum tree thick with bios
som.
The Swedish botanist and traveller
Carl Thunhcrg in 1891 described q
number Of these abnormal growths and
told of the pride with which Japanese
garden cX"cris pr&duccd dwarf trees
for practice! purposes as well as those
weird little udGcts which excite our
N'nnIr". He saw. for instance, orange
trees SIX inches high which bore fruit
the Sic of Il cherry, and yet sweet
AMI palatable."
The secret Of their system is based
upon such we'll known principles as
tie rctardation of the flow of sap, the
selection Of the smallest seeds, gather
ed from the smallest trees; Il minimum
supply Of water and the nipping cut of
leaders and the checking of taprootS
and OF all vigorous shoots. They take
fer their purpose trees which retain VI
t:i!ty under most adverse conditions.
The Chinese are their sole rivals in
this eccentric art.
