The construction or a wireless teie-
graph system is not the first apparatus
made by Berger. He has invented an
automatic letter-folding machine de-
signed to facilitate the work Of the
mailing departments of large business
firms. The machine folds the letters,
puts in any advertising matter de-
sired, such as a return postal card,
seals the letters and puts the stamps
on. 1t is a simple device, and a child
could operate the machine. Berger is
perfecting the letter-folding apparatus
and expects to put it on the market
soon.

The little girl was born June 81,

her father play the violin she would
hum the melody. and when her hands

Keep Q Scrap.Book.

You may make for yourself an in.
teresting book by constructing a
scrap-book devoted to one subject.
One young girl with q strong interest
in the life of Mary Queen Of Scots
has collected from magazines and
other sources articles. illustrated or
not, as 1t happens. verses, pictures Of
buildings and localities. and portraits
relating to this heroine, and has put
them into q single scrap book. making
a volume in which she takes much
pride. When she cannot obtain a
printed copy Of an extract she wishes
to add, she does not hesitate to COPY
1t out neatly upon the pages Of her
book-which 10 merely a large com
position book"
The educational value Of such work
Is by no means slight, since to know
one thing well done must needs learn
much Of many others. Indeed, 1t has
been, said more than once that to
know one, thing completely we should
have to know all things.
There II a good suggestion here.
You Will be surprised, II you begin to
gather material upon some topic, to
see how much is printed about your
favoFite subject. One word of caution.
Do not choose too wide a subject,
Make your limits. marrow enough to
be within your scope. Your scrap
book need not be upon history or lit.
erature. but 1t should be CONCERNED
with something worth the time You
mean to spend upon it.ASt. Nicholas

rHs OLD AUTOGRAPH ALBUM

Among the relics Of the past,
The links Of Memory's clinging chain
That, with its meshss, binds me fast
To days that cannot come again,

This booklet; thoughtfully scan
Its yellow pages, scrubbed Ger

Beneath the picture Of a dove,
And here a half sarcastic quip,
All traced in childish penmanship.

A name once passing dear to me.
Across the past my memory flies
see a pair Of laughing eyes.

With which we penetrate the seal

And, In our leisure moments, steal
Great solacs from TINT storeroom vast
Bereft of thee, how man would grops
Into the futures unknown scope,
As up some storm-swept, rocky slope,
The shipwrecked mariner doth crawl.
Before him dread uncertainty,
Behind, the cruel. yawning sea
And darkness hanging over all.
