our WORDS

Never mind the things you heard,
Don't repeat a single word;
Let them pass, forget them.
Do not mind them, they are not
Worthy Of moments thought,
They have now much mischief wrought,
Let them pass, forget them.
Never mind what some one said,
They were words By malice fed;
Let them pass, forget them,
For they were unkind, untrue,
And deserve no thought from you,
Be among the very few
That will never mind them.
But If you have said atkord,
Harsh, unkind, and someone heard,
Pass ii not, but mind Ii.
Sow another kind Of seed;
Do another kind Of deed,
Maybe someone's heart will bleed,
If yon do NOT mind 10.

Measures For Preserving Nat

Four National engineering soc1e-
ties, having a membership of 10000
distributed throughout the country,
have undertaken to forward the
movement to conserve the natural re-
sources of this country, which are
1.-The means of life and welfare
soil, waters, minerals and forests.
These societies believe that adapting
the forces of nature to the use of man
is engineering, and the problem of
conserving them a duty of the engi-
neer.
Holding to this view, the different
engineering societies are represented
in the National Conservation Com
mission, and each separate society
maintains a Conservation Committee.
Recently the Geological Survey
made careful estimates as to quantity
of coal remaining easily accessible

ply was 1,382,7SO, 100000 tons. At
the growing rate of consumption, and
allowing for the annual waste of al
most half the product in uneconomi-
cal methods of mining and burning
and naturalization of culm, this sup
ply would be exhausted in log years
or less. There are annual wastes in
forests, not counting fire losses, equal
ing three and one-half times their
annual growth. Half the natural gas
escaping into the air would light all

Many men these days are heard to
declare they will not be the slaves
any longer of stenography and the

reach of the long arm of business
and the importantly of sleeve-pluck-
ing strangers.
A vacation in vacation season, with
a mans full duty discharged, is more

cases of restless souls who would
do well to remember that man

Custom, Wordsworth has reminded

find that, like other habits. it is not
easy to shake off.
