Science for the Ycunu.

Thoughtful little Willie Frazer
Carved his name with fathers razor;
Father unaware of trouble,
Used the blade to shave his stubble.
Father cut himself severely
Which pleased little Willie dearly
II have fixed my fathers razor
So it cuts" said Willie Frazer.
Mamie often wondered why
Acids trouble alkali-
Mamie, in q manner placid,
Fed the cat boracic acid,
Whereupon the cat grew frantic,
Executing many an antic;
"Ahi' cried Mamie, overjoyed,
Pussy is an alkaloid!"
Arthur with a lighted taper
Touched the fire to grandpaS paper,
Grandpa leaped a foot or higher,
Dropped the sheet, and shouted "Fire!"
Arthur, wrapped in contemplation,
Viewed the scene of conflagration
This" he said. confirms my notion
Heat creates both light and notion"
Wee, experimental Nina
Dropped her mothers Dresden china
From a seventh story easement,
Smashing, CT ashing to the basement.
Nina, somewhat apprehensive,
Said: This china is expensive,
Yet it proves by demonstration

Years Beginning on Sunday.

In the course of the present cen.
fury fourteen years will begin on
Sunday. A painstaking individual has
computed these occurrences, showing
that in this century Jan. 1 will fall
on Sunday as follows: The common
years 1905, 1911, 1922, 1888, 1889, 1850,
1861, 1867, 1878, 1889 and 1895, and
the leap years 1928, 1856 and 1884.
This is a fraction less than the usual
number computed in point of averages,
the first and the last of the Sunday
beginnings falling five years each from
the close of the century. 1t is posi-.
BILE for Jan. l to occur on Sunday
fifteen times in single century.

A clergyman in Dublin once invited
several of his colleagues to dinner
but was disappointed at not getting
an answer from very popular clergy
man, whom he particularly desired to
be present, SO he called on his friend
fearing he might be i'll. You re
ceived my invitation, hope?" Eyes,
replied the other, Il received your

The Ton Strenuous Life

"T am willing to go to jail or fishing
cith you If you can find my store
without customer from six to six
any day in the year" said merchant
to a drummer, who asked for a mo-
ment of his time. But 1t is not well
to live a life too strenuous-better
hire another man or two and pass
prosperity down the line rather than
go to jail or die before your time. II
Is wise to fish occasionally. Dollars

INDEPENDENCE AS A MYTH.
Idea Is a Deluslon Leading to Wrapping
of Character.

Of Character.
John says: Il am not going to be
dependent upon any man, | am 60
ing to live my own life, in my own
way, as | expect other men to live
theirs. If they will leave me alone,
will leave them alone" and John fiat
tiers himself that he is asserting his
own strength of personality-that he
is emphasizing his individuality,
writes Annie Payson Call in Leslie's
Monthly. The truth is that John is
warping himself every day by his
weak dependence upon his own preju'
dices. He is unwilling to look fairly
at another mans opinion, for fear OF
being dependent upon it. He is not
only warping himself by his "inde'
pendence," which is pulled up with the
false appearance of strength, but he
is robbing his fellow men; for he can
not refuse to receive from others with
out putting it out of his own power to
give to others. Real giving and receiv'
ing must be reciprocal in spirit, and
absolutely dependent upon each other
1t is curious and a sad study to
watch the growing slavery of such Gin
dependent" people.

state that diamond necklace owned by
Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt and valued at
$4,000, the loss of which had been
kept secret, has been recovered. AS
a result of the investigation several
baggagemen on one of the Florida lines
have been arrested. Mrs. Vanderbilt's
necklace was stolen on her recent visit
to Florida. With other jewels it had
been placed in her trunks by a maid.
When the trunks were opened no trace
of it could be found, although nothing
else was missing, The first baggage
man arrested made a full confession
as to the rifiing of tourists trunks and
told of the disposition OF large amount
of jewelry, but declined to say what
had become of Mrs. Vanderbilt's prop
erty. His sweetheart was Swallowed
and finally caught at beach resort
wearing the diamonds, which she thought
were merely paste. She surrendered the
property at once. Search of the bag
home is said to have revealed
many other jewels taken from trunks,
some reported missing three and four
years back.
