1T NEVER STOPS.
To be continued.

Drop a pebble in the water. just a
splash and it is gone.
Yet half hundred ripDles circle on
and on and on;
Spreading, spreading from the center
and outfiowing the sea,
And there is no way o. telling where
the end is going to be.
Drop an unkind word or careless; in
minute it is gone.
But there are a hundred ripples cir
cling on and on anu on;
They keep spreading, spreading,
spreading from the center as
they go,
And there is no way to stop them,
once you've started them to
flow.
Drop word OF cheer and kindness, in
a MINUTES it is gone,
Bat a half hundred ripples still go
circling on and on
Bearin hope, and joy and comfort on
each splashing dashing wave,
Till you scarce believe the value OF
the kind word you gave.
Drop word of cheer and kindness,
in a minute you forget,
But there's gladness still a-swelling
and there's joy a-eircling yet.
And you've rolled wave OF comfort
whose sweet music can be
heard
Over miles and miles of water, Just
by dropping a kin word.

seeds wherever he went. Now Mr..
Tomlinson is going about urging peo-
pie to eat the fruit of the trees thus
propagated, or any other trees at the
rate of at least one apple day.
The apple is universal medicine
for human ills, according to Mr.. Tom

ROOMS WARMED WITHOUT FIRE.

Electric heating rugs are the new
est innovation calculated to make the
HORSEPOWER and home-maker smile
with gladness and relief. In the
Technical World Magazine an article
by f. c. Perkins describes this new

comforts so heated by electricity as
to warm the rooms in which they are
used and then imagine the effect OF
such an innovation in your own home
