THE HEIGHT OF WAVES.
1t IL Never More Than Fifty Feet
From Trough 10 Crest.

Owing to wHu- causes thr ocean is
never still. The wind is one Of the chief
disturbers, for II gives rise to waves.
The elfert of an ordinary storm is not
felt below ii depth of fifty feet and be-
meath zoo feet the water can only be
disturbed by tides and uniercu.rcnts.
When you read of "wavcs running
mountains high" YOU may be sure the
writer has never seen mountain, but
has a fine flow Of words The usual
height OF Il wave in common storms
seldom is more than twelve feet and in
violent gales on the open sea never e.
ceeds fifty feet from trough to crest
and length Of about Geo feet. In thr
south Pacific waves fo"ty-thrce feet in
height have been measured, In the
south Atlantic thirty-nine feet in the
bay of Bsaay thirty-siX feet. in the
North sea and the Mediterranean thir-
teen feet. OF course nearer land when
driven furiously against an obstacle,
such as lighthouse, waves often dash
against the top of the lighthouse, such
as the Bell Rock. 100 feet, and INST,
in the Shetlands, 200 feet, But in the
deep sea, even in Il bowling tempe t,
they never run higher than fifty feet,
which would be very poor mountain.

CHEERFULNESS.
1t Is Tonic That Does More Good

There is a great restorative force in

power to overcome disease and can
make you feel that It is shame for Il
man made to do great work in the
world to be ailing, has very little use
for drugs.
Sick people do not realize how much
their faith and confidence in the ply
sician have to do with their cure. If
he is cheerful, happy, hopeful, they
feel buoyed up, sustained by his vcrT
presence. They feel the thrill of his
splendid vitality and gather strength
from his courage. They catch the con
tagion of his cheerfulness and reflect
his moods and condition
Invalids who have dragged along in
misery for years have been suddenly.
as if by magic, lifted out of their bond
age by the cheer and encouragement
which have come from some uneXpect-
ed good fortune. This shows us how
dependent the body is upon the mind,
how it sympathizes with it and takes
on its colorings, which are represent
ed in the different functions.-O. s.

A stitch of Pain,

A stitch is sharp, spasmodlc pain
in the muscles Of the side like the
piercing of needle and is very apt to
be produced If exercise is taken i'm
mediately after hearty meal. This
arises because the nervous energy nee
essary for the proper working of the
muscles in exercise is engaged in an
other direction-namely, In assisting
the digestion of the food. Anything
that interferes with the proper sup
ply of nervous energy required for ex-
ercise, whether it be debility or the
process of digestion or exhaustion aris-
ing from overexertion, is apt to cause
this spasmodic pain.

COLUMNS OF ST. MARK.
They Were Taken From the Holy
Land to Venice In 1920.

they were tue Doty
Land to Venice In 1870.
Two memorable granite columns,
known as the columns of st. Mark,
brought from the Holy Land in l12O
and standing in front of the quay and
landing steps of the Piazzeta, have
been associated with the fortunes of
Venice for many years.
At first they lay PROSTATE for long
time, while no one would undertake
to raise them. But a reward offered
by the doge at length induced one
Nicolo Barratiero (Nick the Blackleg)
to offer his services He succeeded
and claimed as his reward the privilege
of carrying on between the columns
games of chance, elsewhere prohibited
by law. To neutralize this as much as
possible it was enacted that all public
executions should take place on the
same spot.
One column is surmounted by the
Lion of st. Mark. The other carries
a fine figure of st. Theodore, the pa
tron saint of the city, who stands upon
a crocodile and with. sword and buc-
kler gives token that the motto of Ven
