Time and Eternity,

The stream of time never runs dry.
and the ocean of eternity will forever
send its mighty surges mountain high
against the bank of times little
stream, sweeping with each receding
billow over its expansive bosom the
frail human craft from the shore of
time, with earth's happiness. human
affection, toll, trials, tears and sin, to
the eternal shore of celestial beauty
and bliss. oh, mighty ocean Of eterni-
ty, your wonderful anthem Of life and
death brings eternal woe and condem-
nation to him who is untrue to himself
and his divine pilot, but to the trust
Ing, faithful man it sings of endless
felicity in the presence Of time who
has redeemed his people from the
bondage Of sin and has swept them
through the pearly gates.-Ducktown

tn. wonderful pi.ton.

One Of the most wonderful things in
vegetable life is beautiful and MI
mute class of seaweeds called diatoms.
They belong to the seaweed family,
yet they may be found by the thou
sands in any roadside ditch, fresh or
salt water lake or even in cisterns,
wells, springs, etc. Most species OF
plants are made up Of an infinite num-
ber Of little cells, but with the diatom
1t is otherwise. Each representative
Of this wonderful family Of plants is
formed of but single cell and this SO
minute that it would require $500 OF
the most common form, laid end to
end, to make a string an inch in length.
Some species of diatoms have the pow.
er of independent motion, and on that
account were for some time believed
to be animals.

In cutting the cloth seventy FIVE thick
nesses or thereabouts are arranged up

operators work. In another room are a
number Of girls who operate hemming
machines. A thousand yards Of hem

Of these girls. The machines at which
they work are geared to high speed
After hemming. the cloth Is cut into
triangular pieces with q knife. as be-
fore, but with a pattern laid upon the
cloth The next operation is the sew
ing OF the triangular pieces together by
machinery.
The covers and the frames are now
ready TO be brought together. In all
there are twenty -one places where the
cover is to be attached to the frame in
the average umbrella
The handle is next glued on, and the
umbrella is ready for pressing and in
spection. By far the greater number
OF umbrellas today are equipped with
wooden handles. A large variety OF
materials may be used. however, such
as horn, china, bone. agate. pearl.
ivory, silver and gold. Gold and silver,
quite naturally, enter into the construc-
don of the more expensive grades of
umbrellas, some Of which. in price,
have been known to bring as high as
$50 or $500. A wooden handle may
likewise be expensive, depending upon
the quality OF the wood used. Ebony,
petrifed wood, fir, oak and elder are
as well known to the umbrella men,
who manufacture 5000. 900 umbrellas
a year.
The umbrella has been developing
rapidly during the last few years
We pick up even cheap one nova

spreads itself like an eagle ready for
its flight. We are going away, and an
ordinary umbrella is too long to put in
our grip. We find among our assort-
ment Of umbrellas and parasols one
which is meant for just such an emer-
gency and which In a most accommo.
dating manner folds up to suit the size
of our travelling bag. Other new ones
lock with a key. Some spread their
shade over eight or nine feet Of terri
tory, and manufacturers aver that
these are but a few of the improve

Candy and the FLAG.

The following is accredited to the
late Senator Hoar: At a Fourth of July
celebration In a Canadian town where
both English and American guests
were assembled the flags Of the two
countries were used In decorations. A
frivolous young English girl, loyal to
the queen, but with no love for the
stars and stripes, exclaimed: oh
what silly looking thing the Ameri'
can flag is! 1t suggests nothing but
checkerberry candy" Yes" replied
Senator Hoar, 1.-The kind of candy that
has made everybody sick who ever
tried to lick it."

The old idea of a tiger killing large

THROAT EXERCISES.
Evils That cone From Ai.ase of the
Vocal OrGaas.

The chronic sore throat is not infre
quently produced by the misuse of the
vocal organs. Very often that unruly
little member. the tongue. is accounta.
BILE for the difficulty. as I, Is for a grea,
many other troubles In this transitory
life. Many people have a habit when
talking OF pushing the tongue SO far
back against the delicate membranes
that line the throat that irritation more
or less painful is caused. and II 1t con.
unues any length OF time ulcers will
form, and SO will doctors bill.
Control OF the tongue Is excellent IN
all senses Of the word. Physically this
organ may be managed by depressing
II into a hollow at a point three-quar-
tiers OF an inch back Of where the tip
OF II comes when in a natural position
in the mouth and at the same time
singing very light head tones. This
exercise requires some patience at
first. but the habit Of keeping the
tongue down is soon acquired. In
spea king or singing It should not be al
lowed to hoop up and Ill the mouth.
thus interfering with the free passage
OF the tones OF the voice from the
throat TO the front of the mouth, where
they should strike and then escape
clear as bell. This hopping up Of the
tongue In the mouth Is the cause Of
much Of the indistincr and slovenly
utterances TO which we are too often
obliged to listen.
In many people we notice the line
from the point OF the chin to the neck
is in the form of right angle. In
shapely throat this line forms curve.
just as a canary's does when the small
yellow artist is warbling his carols
To develop the throat and make this
angle curve stand before a mirror so
that you may watch the throat swell
out Now thrust your tongue out as
far as it will go. then draw it back
quickly and forcibly. at the same time
bringing it downward in the mouth as
far as you can. Place your thumb and
forehnger against the laryn1 common
ly called the Adams APPLE, and II you
are making the right movement you
Will feel the laryn1 pass downward.
For week or two make the move
ments lightly. After that time put as
much force into it as you can. The
exercise should be practiced for a few
minutes several times day to insure
rapid and good results.
To fill up the hollows of the neck
stand correctly and then slowly fill the
lungs with air without elevating your
shoulders. AS the air Is forced upward
into the throat hold it there few Sec
onds and then e1pel slowly. This ex-
ercise is best performed soon after ris-
ing in the morning and before retiring
at night.-New York Post.
