Why falling meteors do not inflict

phere. which serves as a bullet-proof
cuirass for the world. When a Meteor
enters the atmosphere the friction
produced by its gigantic speed makes

only moreso. The heat thus produc-
ed, just as a brake showers SHARKS

able mental attainments, she was a
brilliant conyersationafist, and one of
the best read women Of her time. A
work which will live long to perpetu-
ate her memory as well as that-of her
husband, is the biography of the great
Confederate chieftain, which she
wrote, and which is the most compre-
hensive work of this nature ever pub
lished, giving to the world, as 1t does,
an insight into the noble character
and deeply religious life which charac.
terized the home life of both Mr.. Davis
and his family.
One of the incidents of Mrs. Davis
life, and one which went far to show
the strength and gentle dignity of
her character, was the sale OF her old
home, Beauvoir in Mississippi, a few
years ago.
How gladly would the people of the
south have maintained a home for
this beloved one of the Lost Cause,
but with a true woman's delicacy of
accepting anything which savored of
charity, Mrs. Davis appeared before
the legislature OF Mississippi and Of
fered Beauvoir for sale, on condition
that it be used as home for Confed,
crate veterans.
What a picture she must have made
"a picture grandly pathetic-which,
could it have been painted, would
have made the artist famous and lett
to the world gem, reminding one Of
the great pathos and vicissitudes in

This woman, twice queen, offer
ing her home, clothed as it was in
sacred memories of the past, for sale!
But her indomitable spirit, the spirit
of independence, the spirit Of the
south was paramount, and was with
her to the last. She would not even
accept a home with her daughter,
Mrs. Hayes, but lived quiet retired
life in New York, supporting herself
by means of her pen.

REST
While You Work.

That sounds paradoxical, but the
reasoning is correct.
Rest signifies comfort" and there's
comfort in working with a clear
brain, steady nerves, possessed of the
conscious power to do things" and
still have lot of thought and energy
stored up for more work.
To be in fashion nowadays. one
must be able TO DO something well
that requires activity and correctly
thought out plans.
The gentlemen of leisure" belong
to a former era-not in demand in
this country at the present time. The
modern gentleman is a "doer"-not a
mere LOCKER on"
individuals differ In their ability
to plan and execute, but human ener-
gy is largely derived from food. And
that food Is best which supplies all
the requirements with the least ex-
penditure Of bodily (digestiye) effort
to convert it into action.
Grape-Nuts, the product of a food

1t contains also the carbohydrates.

Where Grape-Nuts forms the basis of
food the digestive organs do their
work easily and naturally, and keep
