when you are awake, and OF the
faults of others the latter part of the
night when you are asleep"
Live a liberal life, think liberal
thoughts. 1t is a sign of narrowness
to rebel against the arrowne of
others. One is never truly liberal
of thought until one gives to others
the privilege of thinking things out
their own way.
Do you wish the world were better!
Let me tell you what to do:
Set a watch upon your actions,
Keep them always straight and
true.
Rid your mind of selfish motives,
Let your thoughts be clean and
high;
You can make a little Eden
Of the sphere you occupy.
Do you wish the world we're wiser?
Well, suppose you make a start
By accommodating wisdom
In the scrap-book of your heart.
Do not waste one page On folly;
Live to learn, and learn to live.
If you want to give men knowledge,
You must get it ere you give.
Do you wish the world were happy?
Then remember day by day
Just to scatter seeds of kindness
As you pass along the way;
For the pleasure of the many
May be oft times traced to one,
As the hand that plants an acorn
Shelters armies from the sun.
The true standard of greatness is
service. 1t is not what we have of
gifts, culture, strength, but what we
do with them.
"He only is great of heart who
floods the earth with a great affec-
ton.
"He only is great of mind who
stirs the world with great thoughts.
"He only is great of will who does
something to shape the world to q
greater career.
"And he is greatest who does the
most of all these things and does
them best.
"We are living worthily only when
we are holding all what is in US at the
service of our fellow-men.
"We must love, and if we love we
must serve"

Z There are songs enough for the hero,
Who dwells on the heights of fame;
/ sing for the disappointed
For those who missed their aim.
1 sing with a fearful cadence
For one who stands in the dark,
And knows that his last, best arrow
Has bounded back from the mark.
/ sing for the breathless runner,
The eager, anxious soul,
Who falls with his strength ex-
hausted,
Almost in sight of the goal.
For the hearts that break in silence.
With a sorrow all unknown,
For those who need companions,
Yet walk their ways alone.
What humanity needs most is not
money, but sympathy, comprehen-
sion, enlightenment, uplifting.
We often do more by our sympathy
than by our labors.
But sympathy must be expressed;
some one may die for the lack of it
while you are smothering it in your
breast.
off you have a word of cheer,
That may light the pathway drear,
Of a brother pilgrim here,
Let him know"
Those who are enjoying the fruits
of success do not need your sym
pathy, but those who have fallen by
the wayside, or are still struggling
without hope, need your hearts best
sympathy and love. Do not be criti-
cal and stand aloof because they are
not just up to your standards in
every way, or have the same notions
about everything. 1t won't do to
condemn individuals entirely because
of their opinions.
When you stop to consider that
every human mortal has an opinion
of his or her own, one must conclude
that things are only as we think
them. Your ideas may be quite as
absurd to them. 1t is like ~snubbing
a woman because her s~hirt-waist be-
longs to the old school style. You
can't tell what sort of a heart hangs
inside her chest, or to what very
fine schools that particular heart
may belong. She may be radiantly
beautiful of soul at the moment
when her shirt-waist hikes up most in
the back.
Look for the good in people, and
if you cannot find much, praise the
little you do see. That may help to
omen your eyes to other good things.
The power to discover the best in
those about US will give us more real
wealth than if we should discover a
gold mine. The woman who is given
to s~elf-refection, who has the brains
to think a little about the results of

The Fairy's Valentine
By EARL SYLVESTER

Long, long years ago, in land
where it was always summer, lived a
little fairy who liked to do whatever
she saw a mortal, as she called real peo-
pie, do.
In the house back of the garden
where the fairy made her home lived a
little girl called Nanny whose ways
especially pleased the fairy. When
Nanny came into the garden the fairy
would walk along in the grass behind
her just as in playing stump the
leader" trying to do everything that
Nanny did The fairy would fellow
her even out of the garden, and some
times if they went too far after her
little feet and wings were tired, she
would seat herself on Nanny's dogs
back or creep into his fuzzy ear If
the dog were not along she would curl
down among the ribbons in Nanny
hat.
On the morning of valentines day
Nanny went into the garden and sat
down to write valentine BESIDE the
rose where the fairy made her home
The fairy quickly flew to Nanny
shoulder and watched her while she
wrote.
AS soon as Nanny left the garden
the fairy decided she too would write
valentine and began to look for some
thing to write it on. Circling above
the rose she lived in, she chose one OF
the prettiest petals and pulled it out
with one CT the yellow stamens to use
as a pen. With these she flew to a
little stone upon which she spread the
dainty pink petal, and resting her lit
! tie chin in her hand, tried to think
what to write. At last she wrote,
eff you love your fairy true,
Come to see her with the dew"
There was a rustling in the grass
and the fairy. fearing some of the
ether fairies would see her valentine
quickly rolled the rose leaf up ant
tied it with blade of grass. Then she
flew with it to the home of the fairy
prince whom she liked very much.
That evening putting a necklace O.
, dewdrops about her neck and a wreatf
of them in her golden hair, she seated

herself among the petals of the rose to
wait for the prince.
When the prince went back to his
home that day and found the valen-
tine, he was delighted With eager
fingers he opened it, but, alas, the lit
tie fairy had rolled it up too soon, and
the yellow ink had spread so that he
could not tell whose writing it was.
He finally decided from the petal it
was written on that it was either from
the fairy who lived in the pink rose,
or from the one who lived in the pink
geranium beside her. His only way
to tell was to go to their houses and
see which one expected him.
He watched impatiently for the dew
drops to begin falling, and when the
first one glided down through the air,
he started on his visit. AS he came
near the rose he looked eagerly for the
fairy, who, when she saw him COM
ing, modestly crept down under one of
the petals Since he did not see her,
the prince looked over at the ge-
ranium, and there on broad green leaf
sat Fairy Geranium.
''She must be my valentine" he said
TO himself, and lighted on the leaf be-
side her
Until late in the evening they sat
, there together, while the fairy of the
rose lay weeping among the petals.
After that nearly every evening the
prince came to see Fairy Geranium,
and Fairy Rose could not help seeing
them sitting on the leaves together;
while the evening wind would carry
the sound of their silvery laughter to
her ears although she covered them
with her tiny hands. At last when
the prince began to bring presents of
large sparkling dewdrops to Fairy
Geranium, Fairy Rose could stand ii
no longer.

With these words she flew to a wood
near by, where she gathered her hands
full of thorns. Many trips she made

she worked all night fastening the

SEA OF AZoF is SINKING.
Waters Rapidly Disappearing From
Its Basin of Late.

One dispatch from Russia says that
the Sea of Azof is disappearing and
another that it is drying up. This is
startling news of a body of water
which is the outlet for millions OF
bushels of Russian export wheat.
Fortunately the report is not quite &C
curate.
The Sea of Azof is not drying up.
1t is sitting up. Its chief water re-
ceipts are derived from that very
dirty river, the Don, which spreads
millions of tons of sediment a year
over the shallow floor OF the sea. This
process has been going on for many
ages and the alluvium from the Don
has been narrowing the basin AMI
raising the bed of the sea.
The ruins of the town of Tanais.
founded by the Greeks at the very
mouth of the Don, are now six miles
inland. The results of the filling-in
process are appreciable from century
to century, but still it is slow work.
Aristotle himself remarked with re-
gard to the extinction of the sea that
'all the inhabitants will perhaps have
disappeared before the change is COM
pleted."
A more scientific prediction is rem
dered possible by modern studies II
is found that the mean depth of the
whole sea is thirty-two feet; that the
amount of sediment annually emptied
into the sea is about 100000 900 cubic
feet, and that at this rate of progT ess
the Sea of Azof will be filled up in
about $4,000 years, a period sufficient
ly remote to mitigate any present
anxiety.
The alarming report just circulate
is due to phenomenon that has CO
CURED in the long, narrow arm OF tie
sea known as the Gulf of Tagarrog.

EYES ENLARGE WITH AGE.
After Middle Age the Human Organ of
Sight Increases in Size,

A conversation with a prominent
batter developed the fact that among
men of large affairs where decided ex-
ecutive ability and strong mental
equipment was requisite, it was CON-
mon to find an increase in the cranial
development. A more detailed invest
igation among some of the large
metropolitan hatters revealed the fact
that many of them had, for years, by
means Of an automatic measuring de-
vice, kept records of peculiarities of
the cranial outline of many of the
prominent men, which had led to the
discovery Ito which, however, little
Importance had been attached) that.
