ON CALVARY,

Today I'll kneel with Magdaline
Beside the cruel tree,
And gaze in mute adoring love
On Him who died for me.
I'll listen while the great drops fall
From bleeding thorn crowned head,
And with contrite heart repent
The sins for which He bled.
For bitter taunts and gibes they hurled,
In mockery and disdain,
I'll grieve, remembering my abuse
Of His most Holy Name
We all had share in that dread deed,
In Calvary's crime had part;
We drove the nails, We thrust the spear
That pierced His Sacred Heart.
Dear Jesus, pardon once again
The sin of all the years,
With Magdaline I'll give the love,
With Peter, give the tears.

Always he must be alert and ready,
like-like-well, like a scientist |
used to know.
''This scientist gave scientific
lecture in church one night, and at
the lectures end he said, beaming on
his audience condescendingly:
" Now, if there is any scientific
question that any of my friends
would like to ask. | beg them not to
hesitate. | shall be only too happy
to answer any inquiry in my power.

Why do wet tea leaves kill

1.-The scientist didn't know they
did, let alone the cause for the phen-

piled:
Because, madam. when a roach
comes across wet tea leaf, he says,
''Hello, here's blanket" and wraps
himself up in it, catches cold. and

Hatpin Causes Much Trouble.

Seattle-An ordinary hatpin. used
by a pair Of swallows as the fOunda-
ton stone for their nest, built be-
tween two wires, put the entire po-
lice alarm system of the suburb Of
Ballard out of business last week.
The police alarm wires from Ballard
to headquarters at the city hall were
tested, box by box, until the trouble
was located. II was discovered that
difficulty lay between the box at Ere
mont and the one next south. The
electricians could find nothing more
serious than a swallows nest, few
blocks from the Fremont box. Climb
ing pole next TO the nest, he found
several young birds and when he be-
gan feeling around the nest the par
ents attacked him.
Investigation showed that the nest,
which stretched from one wire to an
other, a distance of about eight in
ches was built on hatpin, which
touched both wires and short-cir-
Quilted the whole system.

ADJUSTMENT.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.


A great misfortune comes to you.
Like most misfortunes, it was unex-
pected
The unexpected happens in every life.
Because it is unforeseen the jolt is a
heavy one. Surprise is mingled with
the suffering Such things. of course,
have happened to others. But to you
that's different. 1t is monstrous that
1t should he SO. And you simply can
not endure this affliction.
And yet in the very hour of your mis-
fortune your soul rises unconsciously
to meet the emergency.
Every hour and every day you con-
tinue to fashion yourself to fit the new
conditions. Little by little you adapt
yourself to the changed situation. The
burden is still on your back, but you
have adjusted the harness. 1t gals
you only occasionally, not continually,
as at first.
Merciful faculty!
A great sorrow. heartbreaking be-
reavement. comes into your life.
The violence Of the blow staggers
you. Passing bells are ringing all the
world over, always. for some sad
mourner. but not for you-till now.
You feel you cannot be happy again.
1t is too much to be borne. Life must
henceforth be hateful. The iron has
entered your soul.
And yet
Even while you cry out in your pain
the forces Of your being are marshall
ing for resistance and defense.
There comes readjustment that per-
mits you to go on, though 1t may be
sorrowfully. AS you grow accustomed
to the load it gets lighter. You realize
keenly that you will never be quite the
same as before the shock. You have
been chastened into something a little
different. But
1t is you!
Through 1t all you have preserved
the identity Of your soul. You have
been passing under the road and
through the processes Of readjustment.
And by and by, it may be, you have
begun to see that even pain and sorrow
have their compensations. And grad
ually life again becomes worth the liv-
ing.
AS the eye, passing from the sunlight
to sudden darkness, slowly adapts
itself, so does the soul of man adjust
itself to new and chang ID conditions.
Is it not wonderful?
And true?
