Machinery that is exact. thorough, and yet extremely delicate in its handling of the fiimsiest fab rics, has superseded the hand-work of long ago. We are looking for the trade of particular people who want their linen washed right and deliver ed on time at the right kind of price if you send them to us.

For the Boys

You who are men in years and
you, just entering manhood, stop
and consider life as it is. Re-
member, "action is the essence
OF character, good or had. This
character building is daily
thing, so consider your ways
and weigh your actions, and
build wisely.
What are your aims? Are you
striving to develop yourselves,
mentally and morally, so as to
have an influence in your COM
; munity? Our boys will be the
future men of our country, our
law makers, and they should be
men who honor the law; they
should be men of principle, who
cannot be corrupted by bribes;
who have the moral courage to
do their duty. When a commun-
.ity lacks such men, evil and cor
ruption predominant. How much
the well-being of a community
depends upon the honest, up
right men in it.
Many temptations beset the
young and they come in contact
: evil influences in every vo-
n,o Z in life. Yet there is with
IN yourselves, boys, a counter
| acting force, if used, that will
enable you to withstand tempta-
ltlons, and to overcome the evil
influences with which you will
surely come in contact Bring
your reasoning powers to bear.
Argue with yourselves the GER
tain moral degradation if you
continue in wrong course.
Bring your will power to bear
nand keep under the low appetites
hnd the little mean things that
corrupt am who give way to
them. Have high standard,
choose a right open path in life.
\ Nothing to hide, nothing to be
ashamed Of.
J Listen to the counsel of your
5 parents Seek the home nest
and~its- pure influences. Shun
places Of vice and evil in every
form. Look carefully over the
record of the past Are you
proud of it? Are you willing it
should be read out? Are you
satisfied with it? If you can't
say yes, let your every effort be
to better your condition.
Speak kindly, move quietly,
do duty cheerfully, look pleas
antly, hear patiently, reprove
tenderly, love constantly in your
homes.

CHAPTER XXI.
THE LUCKY MAN.

No one ever accused Mr.. Reginald
Losing Of having brains: no one ever
denied that he had a luck which was
monumental. He had a name for luck
which was looked up to and marveied
at, even In the society papers.
Mr.. Losing had no settled trade or
profession. He was just a lily in the
way of toll n dress, ana he made a
very comfortable income at 1t. He
dabbled in outsiders on the turf, in
shares OF unchartered gold mines, in
the fascinating game of unlimited, too.
and was abba 10 look complaceatiy on
the results. He went into all these
and other operations with a genial
childish simplicity, and like the bank
er at roulette there always seemed a
steady pull in his favor. How 1t was
done 10 one knew. He did not know
himself. and he and all his world mar
yeled and prophesied that his luck
would some day turn with a rush and
a sweeping tide.
When he got mixed up with the
Shelf affair, il seemed as If this would
be the case.
There was something very near akin
10 a panic In Lloyds when the total
loss OF the Port Edes was reported, and
those unfoTtunates who had underwrit-
ten her were anxious to dispose OF their
risks at any price to8any credulous man
who believed that this first report was
a oanard. Consequently there was
some pretty steep gambling gone
through in the space of minutes, and
more than one small mar got broke
with surprising rapidity.
Now. Master Losing happened to be

EELS in WATER PIPES.
One Place Where Their Presence Is
Net Considercd Remarka hIa

~
Some people think IL a remarkable thing
TO find an eel in a water pipe; but cells IN
pipes don't strike them that way down at
the aquarium, where nothing about fishes
would seem surprising, and where cells
are often SO found.
1t is not supposed that eels, finding them
selves in the city's water mains seek the
aquarium's supply pipe with the hope OF
finding an outlet there into this home for
fishes. The simple fact is that the aquar-
ium has, as Ii naturally would have in it's
business, special facilities for finding cells
in its water pipes and for removing them.
There was a time when the aquariurn's
fresh water pumps were clogged with cells
that came through the supply pipe. They
have had to stop a big pump here and
take II apart to clear it's valves of cells,
but that was some time ago. When they
began 10 have trouble of this sort they
simply put a strainer In the main supply
pipe. outside OF the building in Battery
Psrh, ard since then all the cells coming
this way have been stopped there.
In this trap they catch cells, sometimes
small fishes. and vegetable matter that
would otherwise have got through with
the water into the pumps. The s~tra,ner
is so placed that It can be conveniently got
at, and tee a week a clean strainer is
put in and the old strainer. with whatever
may have lodged against it in the pipe, is
removed.
In this way they catch here first and last
many cells. FAN is the time when they
come down in the greatest numbers. but
t~heyscatch them here also In the spring.
When the strainer was removed on June
. last there were found In the pipe here
three cells. one measuring two feet ten
inches In length. one of two feet and one a
foot long.
50 whatever other people might think Of
such things, they think nothing particu-
larry OF cells In the water pipes at the
aquarium. but just utilize them il they
can; some cells nus captured have found
comfortable homes and plenty to ca, In
tanks here, as additions to the aquarium's
eel exhibits.

WOMEN IN POLITICS.

Among the notable women in British
politics is Mrs. Millicent Faweett, OF
the liberal ~unionists, a fine speaker,
with a clear voic and the author OF va.
rious books, political and biographical
Mrs. CORVALLIS West, formerly Lady
Randolph Churchill, is described as "a
politician to her finger tips says the
World Today. She has both ~canvassed
and spoken frequently in behalf Of hel
SON., Winston Churchill. She was also
the founder and editor of the Anglo.
Saxon Review.
The Primrose league was organized In
1883 by Lord Randolph Churchill AND
Others in memory of Benjamin Disrael.

great conservative body, with more
than a million members-men, women.
and children. at its annual festivals
fhe. leaders of the party make known
their political purposes and enlist ita
assistance in carrying them out.
A rival organization was instituted
by Mrs. Gladstone in 1SS6-the Women's
Liberal Federation-which has devel.
oped some strong women speakers. II
draws together women of all ranks and
is a large educative force politically.
In 1883 the liberal unionists followed
suit in establishing a federation which
differs from the other mainly in it's OPP
position to home rule. 1t has thirty-siX
branches and n membership of from
fourteen to fifteen thousand. These
three organizations are influential fac.
tors in political affairs in Great Britain,
! The Ladies' Land league was found
ed by Michael Davitt in February of
that year as an auxiliary TO the Irish
Land league. When the latter was sup.
pressed by Mr.. Gladstone the women
took entire management of its work
until Mr.. ParnelPs release from prison,
$3.50, 900 passing through her hands in
eight months.
