A Modern View Of Nazareth

As we climbed out of the mud and
up the hills toward Nazareth on
smooth, good roads, zigzag after zig
gag, we looked across to the noun
tain where Isaac was to have been
sacrificed, to the Mountains Of Gill
boa, to little Hermon, the site Of the
story of the Widow of Man,, and of
the Witch of Endor, then to the
Mount of TRANSPORTATION land at last,
swinging around a hill we were in
full view of Nazareth itself. We must
grant that the locations ascribed to
scriptural history are Chased on ira
ditions rather than on inscriptions as
in Egypt" Moreover, the people liv-
ing on these brilliant, beautiful hills
are a sad sight, deadly poor and
crushed by taxes. They live In houses
that are just stone boxes, crowded in
together SO that the walls of n are
also the walls of others. On the roofs
there are brushwood arbors where
in summer people can escape from
heat and feas.-The Travel Maya

So very many women write me in
deep despair. Glow car you help me
to develop a pretty neck?'is.
Frequently, too, comes from some
home the pitiful cry of an unhappy
wife, "My husband cares more for
my good looks than for me. How
can l restore the beauty and shape
of my neck?"
Happiness is, of course, a great
beautiier. But by doing some faith
full work, in addition to being happy
at this gay holiday season, when love
is the dominant note, a woman can
so improve her appearance that she
will hardly recognize herself; for II
is quite within her power to make
herself as pretty as the most critical
could desire.

.Silent Firearm" May Revolutionize
War
New York, Special: Hiram Percy
Maxim, son of Sir Hiram Maxim, who
invented the machine gun which
bears his name, has been granted a
patent for a Silent firearm," and
this new weapon, in the eyes of ex-
perts, threatens to revolutionize the
world of arms.
BY the device of the younger in
ventor, now formally announced as
fully perfected, the discharge of a
rifle or revolver is rendered practic-
ally noiseless. This possibility, COM
bined with the use of smokeless pow
der, introduces a new factor upon
the stage of warfare. The "silent
firearm," SO military experts assert,
may lead to entire re-equipment of
the armies of the world.
In the hands of the sportsman, too,
the n~oiseless weapon offers possibil-
tiles hitherto unknown. On the 9TH
er hand, If within reach Of the Grim
inal classes it presents a new and
difficult problem with which the au-
Ithorities Of the world may have to
cope. Thus the name Maxim again
threatens to work another sweeping
revolution in the world Of firearms.
Military experts, appraised of the
new invention. assert that it holds
the power to force revolution Of mod.
ern methods of warfare. BY use Of the
shoot down pickets without theil
noiseless weapon .skirmishers could
work along an enemy's front and
.presence being noted except upon dis
covery of the slain. Sharpshooters
would be enabled to pick of their
victims without reports of weapon.
betraying their positions. The ex-
tended front of an entire army, care
fully masked by %underbrush or nat
ural formations, might even operat,
with tremendous execution before 1t,
position could be accurately defined
by m opposing force. Therefore
the force equipped with this weapon
would hold an initial advantage over
whelming in its possibilities.

The Cards of Life

Inc Car0S OF Lie
Lies but a game of cards we all
must play,
With Fate the dealer; in a puzzling
way
The deck is stacked upon us, and the
hand
We sometimes hold we cannot I'M
derstand.
For one a full house always, and for
A busted straight or flush, so luck
will run;
A queen for an unworthy knave's
abuse,
And for a king a woman who's the
duece;
Diamonds for some, but better one
true heart;
For others clubs; and spades when
all depart.
Through life we plunge or pike; we
practice guile;
Bluff maybe; try to win each others
pile;
Until Death call us, Whereupon we
leave
The table, with a few behind to
grieve.
Then gather in our chips, while out
ward goes
The soul upon that journey no one
knows.

ems gate,
Where Peter from Missouri lies in
wait,
That we can show him; grant up

The term gallery gods" as ap-
piled to those who occupy the high

origin. Decoration of the modern
Jheater calls forth considerable ar
tistic taste, and the frescoes and
paintings usually represent histori-
cal episodes in the drama, or the
NEUROLOGICAL characters so attrac-
tive to the artist. In the dome of
most theaters, it will be noticed that
the decorator usually chooses the
styles of decorations that present the
gods, goddesses, nymphs and cherubs
of mythology. The occupants Of the
gallery being so near the dome, were
first spoken of as being in the re
gion of the gods" and finally were
termed the gods themselves.--Na.

An Exercise that Develops a Pretty
One of the best exercises for devel-
oping a fine high chest and a firm,
pretty bust is to extend the arms
horizontally, palms facing. Then try
to touch the hands at the back. Aim
to hold the arms as high as possible.
1 know that many women suffer
from too prominent shoulder-blades,
not knowing how to remedy the de-
feet. In time, If allowed to go on, it
becomes a deformity. A relaxed,
lounging attitude is frequently re-
sponsible for this.
At night they sleep with their
backs bent into the shape Of a bow
knot. Shortly, they are mortified to
discover that one shoulder or one hip
is higher than the other and their
shoulder-blades stand out like meat
cleavers.
Girls of our grandmothers' time
were wont to be called to an account
for such attitudes. 1t was the fash
ion then to be straight and supple.
