Don'ts for Bows and Girls.

Don't do anything half way. Work
that is worthy your attention is worthy
your best efforts.
Don't fail to make the most of your
possibilities. God helps him who helps
himself.
Don't be ungrateful for kindness re-
ceived from others. Only an migrate is
capable of such meanness.
Don't shirk your duty, no matter
how heavy the task, but perform it
readily and with willingness.
Don't be ignorant of the usages of
good society.
Don't slight your own position in the
world to waste time envying those who
may be more favored than yourself.
Success will come to the boy or girl
who strives earnestly with a high
purpose in view.

COLLEGE Life in Scotland.

American college boys and high
school boys would have found student
life at the old Scottish universities
very different from the free and easy
good time they are used to at their
own seats of learning. In the early
part of the eighteenth century the stu
dents at some of the Scottish universi-
ties could not shoulder or push" each
other, could not stand at the gate, on
the stairs or in the corridors of the
college buildings for fear they would
dispute with each other, could not
play or loiter up and down in any Of
the courts while the classes were in
progress, nor play ball, billiards or
bowls. A student, no matter how old
he was-even after he had become a
young man-was whipped for getting
into a fight or hitting another student.
He was fined for speaking coarsely or
wickedly. He could not walk out dur

A Monster Lightning BUG.

Did you ever hear the story about
two young men from Cork who had
never seen lightning bugs until they
came across the sea to America? 1t
happened that during their first night
here the mosquitoes were very
troublesome. and both Mike and Pat
hid their heads under the bed covers.
Finding this rather warm, Pat ven
tured to put his head outside just as
FREELY ioated in at the window.
20, Mike!" says he, "Begorra now
they're comm after us wild lanterns!"
Now it may be possible for you to
surprise many native American quite
as much as freely surprised the two
strangers from Cork. Take a large
kite that will fly we'll, which means
that you know just how much tail it
will carry. Remove good part OF
the tail and tie on instead a sky Ian
tern
This must be made very light, and
arranged so that it will not easily
catch fire. Use a piece of light, thin
wood four inches in diameter, and
near the center drive four slender
nails, one inch long, SO that a candle
will stand firmly between them.
Above the candle loop two light wires,
| fastening their ends to the board
Paste red or yellow tissue paper
around the wire frame and your kite
is made Flying such kite on a dark
night will cause much amusement.

Dur Friend the Robin.

l. Is very easy to begin the tanning
process with the robin for the young
| birds, when they first leave the nest,
are glad enough to pick up few
crumbs, not having yet trained their
eyes to the constant search for in
sects. They are then easily induced
to come near the human who pro
yides them, and with a little quiet
perseverance will soon take the food
| from the hand.
But the father bird has to be reck-
oned with, and even the mother bird
in autumn will drive her youngsters
out of the garden, if possible, to in
sure their finding a domain of their
own before the winter.
Her mate is apt to appear in his
wrath when the young robins are
fully fedged-having left the nest for
a week-and scatter them ALL includ-
| ing the mother, with beak and claws
| He does not approve of any spelling
of the children, and insists upon their
| spreading themselves separately over
| the country, in order that they may
learn at once to earn their own main
tenance Probably he is right, for ev-
cry robin has it's own 100 yards or so
of garden or wood in winter time, and
woe betide any newcomer which ven
| lures on another's ground
This is a doubly wise provision Of
Nature to insure food for each robin,
and also the destruction Of insects all

HEART RIGHT
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble The reason is obvious.
This Is a serious matter to the hus'
band or father who Is solicitous for
the future Of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble is caused by an un-
expected thing and can be corrected
If taken in time and properly treated.
A man In Colorado writes:
Il was great coffee drinker for
many years, and was not aware of the
injurious effects of the habit till be-
came a practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble, indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myself and
a nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.
Il continued to drink Coffee, how
ever, not suspecting that it was the
cause Of my ill-health, till, on applying
for life insurance ! was rejected on
account OF the trouble with my heart.
Then | became alarmed. found that
leaving off coffee helped me quickly,
so | quit 1t altogether and having
been attracted by the advertisements
of Postum Food Coffee began its use.
The change in my condition was
remarkable, and 1t was not long till
| was completely cured. All my all
ments vanished. My digestion was
completely restored, my nervousness
disappeared, and, most important OF
all, my heart steadied down and be-
came normal and on a second exami-

In my geography find some things
immensely queer
Such as the folks that lie in bed all
day, all night, all year
They run along, now fast. now slow,
but have no feet at all,
And do not seem to hurt themselves
If something makes them fall,
Perhaps they have an arm, or two, or
three, or even more,
And though they have no throats nor
tongues they sometimes fairly
roar.
Their heads are very small indeed,
their mouths are very wide,
None of them owns penny, yet all
have banks by their side.
Such folks, with neither fingers, nor
hands, nor eyes, nor ears,
Nor legs, nor backs, you must agree
are surely rather queer.

The whites may contain disease-breed
ing microbes These, when heated

degrees centigrade or lao degrees

even partly cooked egg, however
fresh. may always be poisonous,

the above reasons.
