The Needle and the Pole.

The belief in the constancy of the
magnetic compass to the North Pole
has not the least foundation in fact.
At every different place on the globe
it points in different direction, and
only one or two Of them are due north.
Besides, it is always changing. In
London, for instance, it points to a
place about II degrees west of north.
Seventy-six years ago it was still
further away, being then PAN de-
grees, or a quarter of the way around
to the west. In the year 1880 it point
ed II degrees east. Then it began
to move north till 1859, when it point
ed due north. But it remained thus
only for moment, passing around to
it's greatest detection in 100 years.
Again it turned in 1920, and is still
moving nearer the north. 1t will not
reach that point for nearly century
and a half, and so it will go on back
ward and forward forever.

A Great Surprise.

1t was just too queer for anything.
Tommy was walking slowly down be-
hind the barn with his usually merry
face all scowls; and Teddy was peep
ing through the Slated fence into Tom
my's garden, with a whole great fam
lily of wrinkles in his little forehead.
Now, what do you suppose that it was
all about?
Out in Teddy's yard grew great,
tall horse-chestnut tree, and one crisp
October morning a shower Of pretty
brown nuts came tumbling out of their
thick, green shells down, down, down,
until at last they reached the broad
gravel walk and smooth, green lawn.
Tommy spied them as he came hurry
ing home from school at noon, and
then the scowls came to make him a
visit.
''That new boy has everything!' he
exclaimed GROSSLY. ''He has tops, an
balls, an bicycle, an'-an'-now he's
got the horse chestnuts! 'Tain't fair, so
it isn'tv' Then poor little discontented
Tommy looked crosser than ever
Tommy didn't realize that down in
his garden grew something that the
new boy Teddy had always wished
for and longed to have-a bouncing
yellow pumpkin. How Teddy did wish
that his papa had bought Tommy's
house and Topmy's garden and Tom
my's pumpkin-all three!
Teddy sighed as he thought of the
Jack-o'- lantern that he could make if
he only had one of those wonderful
yellow treasures for his very own. 1t
was a very loud and sorrowful sigh,
and Tommy heard it; and then he dis
covered the new boy peeping through
the fence.
"Hullov' called Tommy, quickly.
Teddy jumped. He didn't know that
anybody was near.
Don't you like living here?' in
quired Tommy. ''You look as if you
were homesick. Won't you come over
and look at my pumpkins? I've got a
dandy lot of them, and they are all my
own, every one"
Teddy sighed again.
'I've been a-waitin' for a pumpkin
for years an years." he said sadly.
"But they don't have gardens with
pumpkins in the city, an SO I never
had any"
Tommy looked surprised.
"Would you like one?" he asked
quickly. "'Cause I'd be delighted to
give you one of mine, if you would.
Come over, an I'll give you one right
now"
Teddy climbed over the fence in a
hurry and he smiled and smiled as
Tommy took his jacknife out of his
trousers pocket, and cut off one of his
biggest pumpkins with snap.
''You have everything. don't you"

It Was Not the United States, but the
Republic of Louisiana.
The first republic in this hemisphere

Of it's independence was, of course,

birth, of which little or nothing is

which had its tragic little existence
some years before Patrick Henry and
Sam Adams were talking about revo-
luton in the north.
When France, in 1854, ceded Louisi-
ana to Spain, the subjects Of King
Louis XIV. objected to the transfer
without their consent. The local gov
ernment submitted the question to the
council, which, under the lead Of Mich
olas Chauvtn de Lafreniere, rose in
revolt. Lafreniere called a convention
Of the people at New Orleans while
the new Spanish governor was on his
way to the colony, and the convention
selected delegate to 60 to Paris to
dissuade the French king from his
course. Louis XIV, however, rebuffed
the delegate and sent back word that
the people must recognize the author
ity of Spain.
1t was then that the people Of Lou
isiaIa resolved on a radical course.
On the night Of October %, 1768, the
rebels took possession Of the French
forts and the gates Of the town in
the name Of the republic Of Louisiana.
The old French governor offered no
resistance, while the new Spanish gov
ernor took refuge on ship and sailed
for Havana. On October 20, 176S, the
council at New Orleans adopted
formal declaration of independence,
officially named itself the republic Of
louisiana, elected Lefreniere "Protec-
tor" and prepared a written constitu-
ton. This interesting government last
ed from October, 1769, to July, 1769,
when a Spanish squadron Of twenty
four vessels, with an army Of 1900
men, arrived at New Orleans. The
new Republican State was destroyed
and five Republican leaders, including
Lafrieniere, were put to death. Then
all the republics official papers, in
Guiding its declaration of independence
and constitution, were burned in the
public square.
The anniversary of the execution Of
the leaders, October %, Is to be cele-
hrate.d at st. Louis by the laying OF
the cornerstone Of a monument to La
freniere and his colleagues, on the ex-
position grounds. A direct descendant
Of Lafrieniere, now living in Wiscon-
sin, has received special invitation
to be present at the exercises. The
Louisiana episode of $3.50. which has
never won more than mere footnote
in history, merits the proposed me-

Managing a Man.

Managing man.
! Few women understand the extent
Of the influence they may obtain over
( the minds and manners Of their mascu-
line belongings. supposing them to pos
sess the ordinary amount Of tact and
patience to exert it properly.
Man is contrary animal. Once let
him discover you are influencing him,
and never again will you succeed in
doing so; for he considers it due to his
dignity to resent anything that ap-
proaches to petticoat government.
| A woman's influence Is limitless for
good, and she who uses 1t, save for
good, wrongs herself and her woman
hood; and influencing man is not TAX
ing the reins of government out OF the
right hands, or bending strong will to
one that should be weaker. Indeed, she
who attempts or manages to give more
than lead" to any man will be none
the better or happier for the expert
ence.
But how to win the power that shall
enable a woman, as maid or matron,
to give that lead?
Only tact and a certain sympathetic
insight into the minds and moods Of
others will teach the way.
The maiden who turns hobblede-
hoy, careless schoolboy brother into a
polished gentleman, by little appeals to
his chivalry, his dawning vanity, the
secret desire that turks in every heart
to be liked and admired, Is the girl
who will do as she listeth with her low
ers, and make her husband, when she
takes one, happy and successful man.
For in the big things of life, in any
thing that does not touch her affec-
Eions-in business matters, for instance
"a woman is not only more cautious,
but more far-seeing than a man. Many
and many home, ruined by rash and
disastrous speculations, might have
been saved had the wife but obtained

How to Hold the Baby.

1t is said by those who have made a
study Of the subject that children have
been deformed and crippled for life by
being held in wrong positions when
they were little and helpless. The
baby's head must never hang down,
nor must the weight of the body be
allowed to come upon the delicate mus
cles of the stomach and bowels IT'S
back is weak, and so is it's neck. The
head and back must be supported, and
the hips should rest firmly in the
nurses hand. 1t is good plan, how
ever, to consult the baby's own taste
in this matter of position. If it is in
an agreeable position it is contented.

Little Hints,

When the fnfier nails are polished
too often they become thin and tender.
| A few drops Of alcohol in the wash
water invigorates and tones up the
skin.
Never cut the cuticle or any part Of
the flesh around the nails; simply press
it back.
Red noses come from many causes,
poor circulation and tight clothing be-
ing the most common.
When polishing the finger nails use
little rose-tinted paste. The palm of
the hands is the best polisher.
Don't let the hands swing down at
your sides, unless you want the veins
to become filled and the hands turn
red
Do not use a sponge for bathing pur-
poses. They are not sanitary, being
difficult to wash and cleanse thor
oughly.
When the feet are continually cold
the hands are liable to become red or
blue. Warm feet have much to do
with white hands.
Massa ging the scalp with the finger
tips dipped in a little castor oil, olive
oil or vaseline for five or ten minutes
every day will strengthen the roots and
cause the hair to grow.
The occasional use Of gloves and
cold cream is good for the hands, but
if worn every night the hands will be-
come yellow. It is best to perforate the
gloves and cut off the finger tips.
For tired and swollen feet hot foot
bath at night is probably the best heal
er; let the foot remain in the water
for some time; after drying they may
be rubbed with a little sweet of, and
by morning the swelling and soreness
will be found greatly reduced.
Wives Wanted.
A traveller in Arizona reports that
the young men Of the west are
bachelors not from choice, but from
necessity. OF the dearth Of women
in that section he says:
Thousands of cattle are standing
knee deep in alfalfa, the land is rich
and the young men are thrifty and
prosperous. But they can't get wives.
1uGI0 are uOl WOmcu 10 go
around. Arizona wants several car
loads Of women just as soon as she can
get them.
Census statistics support this view
of the case, not only as to Arizona,
but as to a number of other western
States and Territories. In Arizona
there are 57,O27 males and only 37,-
12O females; in Kansas, 593, ,965 males
and 532,O6S females; in Washington,
S,2s2 males and 1901 females.
Girl Nurses.
All girls should know q little about
nursing, so to be of use in times of
sickness One of the most important
things to see to is the bed Very few
people really know how to make bed
properly; that is, to put the sheets on
evenly and smoothly. The sheets
should be large enough to be securely
tucked under the edges of the mattress,
and the greatest care should be taken
to smooth out all the creases, as
nothing fidgets patient so much as
crumpled sheets or sheets that keep
slipping from side to side.
