The story OF slndbad the Sailor Is be

OF st. Brendan, the Kerry saint, whose
day Is May 16. According to the legend,
st. Brendan sailed the ocean for seven
years In search OF the island that had
once been Adams Eden. During that
time he regularly revisited the Island
OF Sheep, where the sheep are as large
as oxen; the island OF Birds, that are
really fallen angels, and another island
which is really a big fish named Jas

mouth. st. Brendan used to encamp
on the FISH on Easter day and go on TO
the birds on Easter Monday. He found
the Eden island at last. but no one

Why Not BE Careful?

Thousands of people are handling
certain articles daily without any idea
of their dangerous nature

instance, is q bomb, and an exceeding
Iy powerful one to boot, charged, as it
frequently IS, up to pressure Of be-
tween l30 and 100 pounds.
The large celluloid combs, again,
which ladies are so fond nowadays of
wearing in their hair will, If acct
dentany brought into contact with a
naked light, burst into fame of explo-
sive violence. Nor is this to be great
~ wondered at, seeing that one of the
ingredients of celluloid is gun cotton.
while another is camphor, than which
there is no more inf1ammabIe substance
known TO chemists.
Flannelette kills more people than
does smallpox. yet people go on wear
ing it because 1t is cheap, careless Of
the fact that the touch of a lighted
match to the himsy fabric means a
certain and hideous death.
Many even of the medicines we use
to cure our ailments have concealed
amid their other and harmless fngre-
dients substances fFaught with similar
peril TO our persons.
Iodide Of nitrogren, for instance.
which is frequently prescribed in com
binatiop with other drugs, is a highly
explosive chemical, and accidents have
happened over and over again through
It's incautious handling by persons ig-
norant of it's dangerous properties.
Tincture OF iron and diluted aqua
regia, again, a mixture often prescrib-
ed as a tonic, gives of an explosive
gas which has been known to shatter
the strongest vessels.
Bicarbonate OF potash, common
remedy for fiatulence, viii cause a
dangerous explosion if accidentally
mixed with subnitrate Of bismuth.

stance possessing tremendous pertls.
A pint OF IL, If suddenly ignited, will

on many different occasions.

DO Not Demand Too Much.

There is one type OF girl who will
never be very popular with the men,
and that is the girl who demands too
much
She Is never satisfied unless the man
is displaying his devotion for the bene-
fit % all who may care to see.
She expects him TO be always az her
beck and call. TO have no other object
IN life than the gratifying of her whims.
She makes not the slightest conces-
sion to other claims.
His duty toward her must supersede
that toward his family.
Business is a secondary consideration.
She must be first and foremost in every
thing.
Her mental attitude is. IF he wants
me he must work for me"
That is all very well. except that no
man cares to work with no encourage
ment.
OF seIEshness and unreasonable de-
mandS.
This type of girl is never happy un-
less the man Is spending money on her.
IN fact. she only values his attention

The average young man has to work

TWILIGHT CHAT

The woman who. on returning from
shopping tour. round that her careless
ness in leaving the back door open had
resulted in an extensive loss, was con-
siderable of a philosopher, for on being
told that a neighbors dog had played
hide and seek with a strange cat in
every room in her house and that the
dogs owner would be responsible for
all damage, she laughed and called il a
good joke. and there was no interruption
OF friendlineSs between the two women.
That is the only wholesome fashion
OF accepting The inevitabi To grieve
is TO endanger the health in some de-
gree, and TO make an enemy is a dan
gerous thing TO do A deal of trouble
could be saved by using common sense,
accepting accidents for just what they
are. bearing the results of carelessness
with stoicism and making honorable
amends when IT fault. There can be
no two opinions as to the outcome of
indifference on the part Of the owner
OF the dog; despite philosophy relations
would have been strained. and then
anything may happen.
We often read of spite fences landing
respectable families n broils that
would not be creditable IN the poor and
ignorant section Of big cities. We are
treated with daily exhibitions of temper
and malice from men and women whose
surroundings and education make them

who really desires to follow a birthday
plan for August finds herself rather
hard-pressed for ideas.
