TO BE SAFE FROM ACCIDENT
Statistics Show That Traveller Takes Fewer Risks Than He Who
 Stays at Home.

Probably the majority of people, II asked what they considered to be the safest spot for them to be in, would reply: Tn bed or in an armchair by the side of the fire" But they are quite mistaken The risk of injury IS much greater than if one was travel ing by ship or rail.
 The curious fact is mentioned that, according to statistics, 60 per cent. Of accidents happen while the victims are at home or in the street. the ex. planation being that man when go- ing a journey or entering upon hazardous undertaking exercises spe- cial care, thus escaping injury, but while at home or taking exercise viz ilance is relaxed, familiarity with common dangers breeding contempt.
 Probably the safest place on land or sea is the deck or cabin of hrst class ocen liner A first-class railway carriage is also an exceptionally safe place. This is so clearly recognized that accident insurance companies can afford to double the compensation when accidents occur on railways or tramcars. Certain companies will in- sure commercial travellers at pre-. miums appreciably lower than those charged by general accident insur- ance companies.
 A man may undertake a journey around the world with a comparative ly light heart. But extreme care and vigilance are needed should he ven ture to hang his pictures or walk down his own stairs.
 The perils of the streets in our big cities are, of course, so well known that there is no need to comment thereon Most people imagine that they must be fairly safe in bed. Yet accidents happen even there. Not long ago a wealthy man was seriously injured by being burned by hot water bottle after he had retired to rest.
 The moral is, of course, that whetll- CT man lie, sit, walk, drive or ell gage in any occupation or sport, he is always exposed to the risk of acci- dent. and should take his precautions accordingly-W Worlds Work.

A NEW SCHOOL NEEDED.

The Wright brothers are quoted as saying that they will build an aero plane for 7500 for anybody who wants one Now that they have dem onstrated so thoroughly the fine quail ties of their machine-its great speed and its birdlike ability to rise and sink while sweeping over hills and valleys, there must be number of adventur- ,ous spirits who would like to own one. The automobilists, whose recreation is Snterfered with by bad roads and by other vehicles would like to try the smooth and vacant pathways of the air, to fly as the bird flies, and float over the ponds or lakes instead of having to travel around them. There is practical difficulty as yet, says the Chicago Tribune No one can buy with the machine the skill to operate it. and there are no aeroplane chauffeurs nor is there any one to teach them. Orville Wright is going abroad to in- terest foreign governments in the American invention. His brother will teach some army officers how to han ale the aeroplane the government has bought of him. After having attended 60 that he will devote himself to the business of aeroplane construction, Along with that should go the estab 3ishment of a school where a capable aviator could give instruction to eager pupils.

There is nothing that seems quite so nice to begin luncheon with as fresh fruit served in an attractive manner. A section or two of orange with a few beautiful cherries on the stems and garnished with the leaves, makes a pretty service. A touch Of green always adds beauty to a dish and there are always leaves.

 F F rom the Hand of life

The strength of the great horses that drew his blow smote him with it's grandeur and as he followed the furrow and thought how the Creator was daily calling fresh wonders into being for the eyes of man he shouted aloud for the beauty and fascination of the world
 And the next year he took home wife and the wonder he first felt that so sweet and perfect a woman should love him remained with him always and the two were never weary of gazing on each other. Therefore 1t is clear that this man was indeed sovereign among men, for the com- monplace knew him not, though fools thought he dwelt in the midst of it. and routine left unharmed his thrill ing soul. The very ferns at the wa terside were to him an unfailinS mir acle and it is no strange thing that the maiden, Happiness, entered IF the cottage and abode contentedly with the man and his wife.
 But when the ten years were over the man remembered his tryst and presented himself at the temple or Life and called affectionately-
 Art thou here, oh my brother?'
 Out from among the pillars came harsh voice, Nay, not he, but l who represent him." and forth came flg- ure terrible to see, so gaunt were its features. so haunting it's heavily cir cled eyes.
 The younger was displeased and said curtly:
 'I do not accept thee in my broth CTS place Why is t> not here?
 He could not come"
 "Why not?"
 He is dead"
 "Dead."
 "Aye-I slew him.
 Thou hast dared! Who art thou!
 And the other, turning away, said indifferently:
 T am the companion of kings, am Ennui.
