A Little Trick Connected Herewith

thing, and, like many sports Of the
kind. it requires "knack" to win at 1t.
We will suppose that several OF your
boy friends can beat you in standing

that you can turn the tables on them
in barrel jumping they will naturally
scoffatyouandsay well, get your bar

your barrel. .-. .'@@a +.
Make them jump first They will
climb on the barrel. which lies innocent
ly on its side. The barrel will roll
and wriggle beneath them, and when
you tell them that rule of the game
is that no jumper must stay on the bar
rel more than 30 seconds, one or two
of them will be out of it from the start,
for they will be quite unable to get
their balance in that time, SO they can
get in their favorite jumping position.
The best of them will be able to jump
but few feet from their ticklish perch.
for the barrel will roll beneath them.

triumph. One girl would be a great
scholar, the other a useful doctor, but
where did the mother come in. and
what had become of her claims? No
wonder the poor lady felt discouraged.
So long as society continues there
will be distinct place for the girl
who is not restless, and who, making
her choice with open eyes. decides that
love is better than ambition; that home
affords legitimate sphere of action.
and that she need not go far afield to
find the best career woman ctn have.
Our old traditions cannot be all mis-
taken. There still clings the delicate
perfume of the rose about the girl who
is not restless, nor dissatisfied. who
may even be a little slow and little
stupid as compared with her brilliant
sisters, but who is the peculiar treas
ure of her father and mother, and the
dear delight of her home.

ScooTERINC FOR LIFE.
How Jim Rescued His Father from
Death in the Ice Shove by His
Staunch Little Craft.

The great inland salt sea of the
South bay was frozen over white and
smooth from mainland to beach, but
the south winds had begun to blow and
vague, ghostly noises stole over the
great expanse, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer. Sometimes they sounded like
the wall of a far-away storm, but there
was no storm; sometimes they sounded
like cannon fired miles away at sea, but
there were no ships off shore firing can
non; sometimes they sounded like til:
peaceful long-drawn signs of sleeper.
A stranger would have been puzzled
hopelessly TO say what these strange
sounds were or meant: but the bay men
knew, and all along the miles of shore
men hurried to drag boats as far up on
the land as they could, and to secure

THE WRONG WAY TO JUMP.

push of their feet when they try to
jump.
Now you yourself take a turn. You
stand about two feet from the barrel
and jump lightly upon it, but the in
slant your feet touch 1t you jump again
and sail through the air, landing several
feet beyond the farthest mark made
by the others. The secret is that tho
momentum of your first jump carries you
forward, and that when you jump from
the barrel you leap straight up in the
air, not forward, for the momentum Of
your first jump carries you on far
enough. The ground below the barrel
lends resistance from that direction.
while there is none to keep the barrel
in place when the others leap straight
forward from it.

Concert in a Well.

For many years there has been a

thought it a most important event. A

the we'll one afternoon, all the wom-
en- and children afterward being
entertained at tea. In the evening
the men of the hamlet assembled at
the bottom of the we'll, which was, of
course, dry. After prayer by Rev.

songs and speeches, and refreshments

HOW THE B. AND 0. GETS DRY SAND.
Ingenious Apparatus for Getting Constant
Supply for Use on Rails.

One Of the railroad problems is TO get constant
supply OF dry sand for the locomotives for
slippery rails. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
has It's standard design a sandhouse apparatus
that has proven most successful in handling and
drying sand for locomotive use This arrange
has been applied TO several recently
structed roundhouse terminals and coalinG sta
tons.
The sand storage is placed at the head end
of the coaling trestle, and the containing the
wet sand are placed the storage bin and the
sand discharged from self-dumpng cars. The sand
drying room is in the centre of the wet sand stor
age bin and the wet sand is conducted into the
hopper by gravity. When any part of the sand be-
comes thoroughly dry it flows through the meshes
of the netting the floor and is conveyed to the
sand tank by gravity. After the dry sand tank Is
filled the application of air pressure closes the
inlet valve and automatically forces the dry sand
upward into the dry sand storage bin. from Whlch
it Is conveyed 70 the locomotives
