If my boy should leave school with
his head full of history and grammar
and the classics and modern languages,
and all the other studies of the curri

heart to yield willing obedience to
law-the law of the school, the law
of the community in which he lives,
the law of state and nation-we

Some one has wisely said that
society's brow needs to be decorated
with women s jewels who are not too
highly educated or cultured to love
their husbands and to be faithful to
them; not too brilliant to be good
children, and not too progressive to
wear their husband $ names and reflect
credit upon themselves.

Actions die-sometimes; words live,
Be sure you are right, then go
ahead!" was Davy Crocket's motto IN
life. Have purpose in life-a right
purpose-then press on Success will
finally crown your efforts. If the
world despises you because you do not
follow its way, if you are right, show
it by your life and finally the world
will turn to your way of thinking and
give you credit.
Girls, you cheaper yourselves by
lack of purpose in life," says Rena L.
Miller. "You show commendable
zeal in pursuing your studies, your
alertness in comprehending and abili
ty in surmounting difficult problems
have become proverbial; nine times
out of every ten you outrank your
brothers thus far; but when the end is
attained, the goal reached, whether it
be the graduating certificate from a
graded school, or a college diploma,
for nine out of every ten it might as

ExPLArNrNG A MysrERY.

Whence comes the light of the fire fly? is & question that has been asked by the scientist as well as the layman for all time. we may assume, or at least as long as such insects have been mans companions. Other members of the insect family give out a light of their own, but the ordinary lightning bug is most common and most interest ing. In the spring and summer they fly throughout the night flashing their light at intervals, exhibiting or sup pressing 1t at will. and no satisfactory explanation has been made. That the light is phosphorescent seems plain, but just how 1t ts produced. how kept in store. and how turned on and off, are and have always been mysteries.
 In recent issue of Chambers's Jour- nal. Dr. Phipson contributes what Is intended to be an explanation of the mystery, but we must confess that 1t doesn't explain as lucidly as one would like He tells us that the firedy, as an example of the light-giving insects, is the posSessor oA peculiar orsdh Whach secretes a substance to which the Doc tor gives the title of "noctilucine," a somewhat involved scientific word. which we leave the scholars to define. He tells us further that the organ which produces this substance is under control of the nervous system of the Insect. which explains its ability to turn the light on or shut iAofr at will. His explanations and definitions are somewhat lengthy and complicated and we cannot really say that they give much satisfaction to an ordinary read CT When we see the flash of firefy we shall continue to wonder how he does 1t.

watches ,Thus all the, parts are inter- changeablc. and thus any part can be duplicated with absolute certainty
 The same is true of machinery for all domestic or mill uses. A firm which manufactures machines of a cer- tain kind makes the parts of each ma chine just like the dorresponding parts of all other machines, so that when a part becomes unfit for use 1t can be duplicated and inserted at once with out the time. trouble and expense of fitting 1t to its place. The advant- ages of this accuracy in manufactures are many and palpable. for there is a saving of both time and money when the missing part of an indispensable machine can be replaced at once. In one respect, though, England appears to be getting ahead of us, and that Is by carrying the standardizing feature into the domain of naval architecture. We are informed that under their new naval program leach ship will be an exact duplicate of all others of that class, and all parts of the machinery are made to be interchangeable. This will bc an important step and will mark a great advance in ship building. Our own Government should not fall behind in forward movement like

Location of Banks.

From the above it may be seen that Southern States have the largest per centage of gains in individual deposits and more than four times as much gain as the New England States. We have the means. and we have men with the ability to devolp and carry forward all our enterprises, and we owe 1t to our selves. to our posterity and our south land to get together and assert our in dependence.
 In the banks of Alabama the deposits are as follows: National Banks, $22,- 390,6 State and private banks, S1S,- Slo049; total, $41 1,202,690.
 As was one of the first to advocate State supervision of banks in this State 1t Is gratifying to see the in crease of deposits in State banks. Be- fore the present law was enacted there were only S11,000,000 on deposit in State banks.

The Weight off a Crowd.

In view of the recent disaster In a Brooklyn schurch, the question of the weight per square foot or per square yard of crowd of persons is certainly one that is in need of discussion and application. In Cosmos. of Paris. a recent article gives considerable space to this question. The writer in Cos mos deals with the experiments recent iy conducted by a German architect Hunscheidt, who found that the weight per square meter of a crowd of human beings varied with the character ot the units. Thus the weight per squarf meter for a group of laborers was 1,20( pounds with a certain number of men but this weight could be increased to 1900 pounds and even to 1,5O0 pounds, for the same surface. In the case of school children aged t6gP from tbi i' S,sbs to hs yaried from ,O50 pounds to l,17e pounds and 1920 pounds, pa,1s,on It see seems IS from the writer's conclusions that IF to t1' support crowd of people the calcu- iation for the support should be on a basis of from 1900 to 1900 pounds per square meter.

TALKING TO THE POINT.

The Democrats of New Haven. Conn.,, have nominated Judge William s. Par dee for Mayor, and in recent inter view he made a remark which is we'll worth considering and remembering. To use his own words he declared that "a Democrat who takes the trouble to vote against me in the primary Is a better Democrat than the man who will not take the trouble to vote at all." That sentiment, we repeat, is well worth considering and remembering by all citizens. We know 1t is the habit to criticise and condemn man who votes against the candidate of his par ty and unless there Is good cause to the contrary we hold that Democrat should vote for a Democratic candi- date, but that is not as important as 1t is that he shall vote. If he thinks the man on the other side Is better man and better fitted and qualified for the office than the candidate of his own party is he should not be too hastily or harshly condemned for exercising his best judgment in the matter, pro- vided he does his duty as a citizen and goes to the polls
 The idea and the meaning of De- mocracy is the rule of the people, and the only way to enjoy that rule iss at the polls. Officials are not placed in power by argument and Reclamation, but by ballots. It Is all right and proper to talk for your candidate and your principles. but the silent ballot in all honestly conducted elections is an argument that cannot be refuted. It is practical and convincing and may be successfully used by a man who never made a speech.
 And there is a moral side to the mat ter that should never be lost sight of Some days ago certain good people in Philadelphia held prayers for the Mayor better man and a better official. There upon some journal, probably Leslie's, very pertinently asked where these Christian people were on election day when the Mayor of whom they com plained and for whom they prayed was we HdNo HOt seen any reply, but we suspect that some of them voted for Weaver as the candidate of their party. and that a majority of them failed to vote at all They were too busy or too indifferent to go to the polls.
 We are continually hearing good and well meaning citizens complaining of the inefficiency or worse of those who make and execute the laws, and we shall not deny that the complaints are sometimes well grounded. but those who refuse to attend the primaries and to use their influence and their votes for better men have no moral right to complain. If they stay away from the polls and allow elections to go by de- fault they should have the grace and fairness to refrain from criticism or condemnation. Let them vote. If they | refuse to be governed by party lines, let them vote for the candidates whom they consider the best men, and who may be expected to stand for the best policies. That Is good citizenship and no good citizen has the right to shirk his duty.

AN IMPORTANT STEP.

one of the great sources of strength among American mechanics and manu- facturers is what is called "standardiz- ing. q" For example. when any portion of an American made watch, from the smallest to the largest piece, is lost, broken or worn out a duplicate can be procured and the lost part replaced without the trouble of fitting or chang ing in the slightest degree. Each part, from the smallest screw to any one of the larger parts, being made by ma chinery, is an absolute duplicate of all the similar parts in all other
