WANT TO KNOW

To Contract Large Pores--ls there any
way by which the large pores on the nose
may be contracted without harm to the
skin7-LlItas.
The few enlarged pores on the nose and
chin, which are the result of blackheads,
may be contracted by the use of acetic
acid carefully, very carefully, applied. Be
certain that the pores are entirely free
from any hardened sebacous OIL by first
scrubbing the face thoroly IN hot soapy
water, then rinsing and. driving. Do not
treat the pores which are, sore from the
recent removal Of blackheads, until they
are perfectly healed To hasten the process
of healing battle the spots with listerine
and water equal parts, and in future be
particular to first hold hot water on the
offending blackheads for five or ten min
utes before attempting to press them out.
To apply the acid use very small finely
pointed camel hair brush; dip in the acid,
free it from all drops and just touch the
tiny pores. One two applications are
generally sufficient. 4 # your skin Is very
sensitive and the smart seems very severe
you may reduce the strength of the acid

Grant had met Miss Wetmore
when visiting a Chicago college chum,

him at ease and he called Tommy"

1t is to the persevering spirit OF
Eli Whitney that the Southern

seem absurd to think of people
being made despondent amid such
advantages of to day that we're
unknown to the noted men of the
past, who, by their lives, proved
that ''patience and perseverance
overcome the greatest difficultiesg"
There is not better manifesto
tion of perseverance in the life of
any one than in the life of Colum-
bus, whose many trials are fa-
miliar to most every school boy.
You have perhaps heard of the lit
tie boy, who, after being entreated
to be persistent in his duties, to
keep trying amid failures, as did
the discoverer Of our country, that
he might too become a great man,
replied, ''But there is no land to
discover now, is there?" My little
friends, though you may never be
called upon to show a persevering
spirit in the manner in which Co
lumbus, Washington, Franklin
and others did, yet the world to-
day is as greatly in need of brave
and noble characters as it was in
the past. There are truths to be
discovered, and brave and never
yielding soldiers are needed in
this great warfare of life. Re.
member the old maxim "There is
always room at the top" and che
who would reach the top must
first climb the hill"
As teachers, we should demand
of our pupils their strongest ef-
forts. We find too many students
who, too soon, give up when meet
ing difficulties. If, after two or
three trials they have not succeed
ed in their attempts, they feel that
it is time to say to their teacher,
"Oh, l just can't, for ] just did my
level best" Do you think that the
teacher should be content with
your having done your ''level
best" which is only suited to level
Remember it takes your
"uphill BEST when you come to
the hills.
Let us endeavor to make lessons
of perseverance more impressive
to the pupils. No one can tell
what an inspiring and noble
thought may have in determining
a child's success in life. Have you
not heard that grand old familiar
selection, 'Try, try again." read
in this manner: "If-at-
irst-you.don't- 't-succeed-try- try

Children, have you not heard of
Daniel Websterg Well, to have
you better remember this charac-
ter, we will repeat little story
told of him during his early school
days. He, because of his large
eyes, was known as All Eyes. He
was sickly child and his parents
we're very poor, yet All Eyes was
allowed to 60 to school some. At
first he was not very neat in his
appearance, for his teachers atten-
tion was attracted by his little dir
ty hand which he took in his own
and said that All Eyes could not
find another hand in school as dirty
as that one, when All Eyes imme-
diately presented him his other
hand and replied, Eyes sir, here's
another onep' But what we want
to call your special attention to in
the life of this little boy, is that he
was also a very timid little fellow
who found it very difficult at first
to stand and recite before the
school. Now, children, what do
you suppose became of this little,
poor, sickly and timid boy9 Well,
he became one of our greatest pub
lie speakers. He did not shun the
little duties of his schooldays be-
cause they we're hard, but over
came his timidness by persever-
ance. viii you not let this be a
lesson to you, for the world is in
need of such great men as Daniel
Webster.
All who feel that their attempts
to address public gathering would
tesult in q failure should be
encouraged,by thafailurehpade by
Disraell, a great English states
man, when he made his first speech
before the House of Commons.
The house refusing to hear he f.
nally sat down amid laughter and
derision of his auditors, but as he
did so, he said, 81 have begun sew
eral times many things and | have

and though | sit down now, the

read them in the light of events.
There are a few instances where
people become rich in worlds
goods who lack the spirit of per-
severance, but no one can become

5ering, for learning can neither be

which might illustrate the value o
, encouragement of a little athlete
called Tom who won in nearly
every race with his plaYmates; bu
one day he in a foot race was badly
beaten by two of his playmates
Tom went to his teacher crying
bitterly, "Why, Tom, what was
the matter?" asked his teacher,
when he replied sobbing, 81 start

But nobody said Go it, Tom, and
somehow it got into my legs and
they wouldn't 60" So you see
how surprising results may be
brought by encouraging words to
some and the lack of them to an.
other.
The value of having good mot
toes or quotations placed within
sight of our students may be more
clearly understood after having
our attention called to the words
of Arago, the most noted mathe-
matician of his age, who said that
his success was largely due to
words found on the paper cover of
his book at a time when he was
greatly discouraged. They we're,
''Go on, sir, go on! The Difficult
ties you meet will resolve them
selves as you advance. Proceed
and light will dawn" We have
the experience of one who was at
first poor blacksmith, but after
wards built upon the basis of per-
severance one of the largest whole
sale concerns in New England. To
this he contributes his success: 81
just kept hammerlng away, and
have found this to be the only way
to win. Keep hammering away.
1t tells"
What a grand inspiration is con-
tanned in the following article
clipped from the Sabbath School
Visitor, which reads: "a boy or
girl should learn to persist in the
face of difficulty or even failure.
1t is the triumphant breasting of
the wind blowing against us that
makes one of the chief pleasures of
life. People, like kites, rise high
est when there is something to pull
them down."
Though we have tried many
times and failed, we cannot know
what another single effort might
bring. We learn from the biog-
raphy of Robt. Bruce, the most
heroic Of Scottish kings, that DUR
ing the time he was an outlaw in
his own kingdom, he, while lying
in bed in a wretched hut, saw a
spider trying to spin its web from.
beam to beam over his head. Six
times it tried and failed; just so
many times had Bruce been de-
feated by the English. ''If the
spider tries again, " he thought, $50
will l." The spider tried again
and was successful. So Bruce de-
termined to try again, and did,
which resulted in complete vic
.ory; and soon he had gained his
freedom and the acknowl-
alignment of his kingship.
There is a good lesson to be
earned from a story of little
10Y, who, being placed on the top
# load of wood, had some diff
iulty in staying on while the
lorses were travelling very fast
lown a steep hill. On entering
he house his mother said, Little
