How She Missed Him.

a poor woman who kept a small
shop in Il northern village and who
was troubled with a husband who
could scarcely be considered a credit
to the family one day found herself q
widow through the sudden demise Of
he spouse. A lady who frequently
made small purchases at the shop
called to see her and offer her SYM
pa ny, though well knowing that the
mans death must in n certain sense
come as n relief as the wife had often
suffered from his violence She was
no, however, quite prepared for the
stCical way in which the wife took her
bereavement.
said the lady, 81 am sure. Mrs. c.,

What Thieves Won't Steal

The last thing the woman did before
leaving the fat was to put four rings
I'm the clock on the mantel. $50 thieves
won't get them," she said.
II should think that would be simply
inviting thieves to run away with
them" said her friend. "Tha is a
handsome clock, and thieves like hand
some clocks"
"rhey do" said the woman, "but
they never will steal this clock. 1t
ticks too loud. No wise thief VIII run
away with clock that goes like a
thrashing machine. 1t isn't the alarm
about his person that he is afraid Of,
for he can stop the clock, but the oc-
cupants Of the fiat are likely to return
before he gets safely away, and If a
loud ticking clock Is gone they will
miss it the minute they step inside the
door and maybe give him a hot chase
for his plunder. New York Press.

HOTEL CELLS.
The Difference Between Them and
Those Of the JaiIs.

The chief difference between The av.
on cell, viewed from the standpoint of
social psychology, is that one is locked
on the inside TO keep outsiders out.
while the other is locked on the out
side TO keep insiders In. The occupant
OF the hotel cell Is afraid that some
thing will be done to him or that some
thing will be taken from him by some
one w4o ought to be In prison cell.
That Is the theory Of It,
Lock your door and leave yo1r val
uables at the Office" cautions the oblig-
Ing innkeeper. IF you had va uables
you wouldn't be here" observes the
witty prison keeper. That Is 10 say,
tie question Of valuabes seems to en-
ter largely into the matter.
1t would be great TO have a civiliza-
tion which considered valuable only
those things which could not be stolen,
such as mental and moral equl )ment,
skill and good fellowship. Then we
could be a little more sociable. We
could talk to each other without but
toning our coats or feeling for our dia-
mond studs every few minutes. Then
the man who willingly secluded him
self in a stuffy hotel cell could be
locked in and made to stay there on
the ground that something terrible was
the matter with him.-Success Maya

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.
Her Summary Method of Swapping
Official Red Tape.

When Florence Nightingale came. I'm
stantly new intelligence. instinct
with pity, aflame with energy. fertile
with womanly invention. swept through
the Scutari hospital. Clumsy male de-
vices were dismissed. almost with a
gesture, into space. Dirt became a
crime. fresh air and clean linen. sweet
food and soft hands a piety. A great
kitchen was organized which provided
well cooked food for thousand men.
Washing was lost art I'm the hospital,
but this band Of women created, as
with a breath. a great laundry, and a
strange cleanliness crept along the
walls and the beds Of the hospital. In
their warfare with disease and pain
these women showed resolution as
high as the men Of their race showed
against the gray coated battalions Of
Inkerman or in the frozen trenches be-
fore Sebastopol Middle headed male
routine was swept ruthessly aside.
If the commissariat failed to supply
requisites, Florence Nightingale, who
had great funds at her disposal, in
stantly provided them herself, and the
heavy footed officials found the swift
feet Of these women outrunning them
in every path Of help and pity. Only
one flash of anger is reported TO have
broken the serene calm which served
as a mask for the Steel-like ard reso-
lutte will of Florence Nightingale.
Some stores had arrived from Eng
land: sick men were languishing for
them. But routine required that they
should be inspected by ii board before
being issued. and the board. moving
with heavy footed slowness. had not
completed its work when night fell
The stores were. therefore, with otIi-
cial phlegm, locked up and their use
denied to the sick. Between the needs
Of hundreds Of sick men and the com
forts they required was the locked

SHOEMAKERS' WAX.
The Surprising Properties of This Pc
cuiar Substance.

Culiar substance.
one OF the most apt illustrations
ever made by Lord Kelvin was his
likening the lumniferous ether to a
mass OF shoemakers' wax. What Lord
Kelvin said Of shoemakers' wax may
be tested by any boy In a manner that
will astonish his playmates First let
# be said that the ether penetrates all
splce 1t is as rigid as steel and yet
SO flexible that II does not retard the
passage of planets through space I'm
the least. II is an invisible substance
which travels I'm waves through all
things. Now, TO illustrate the nature
Of such a paradoXical material Lord
Kelvin searched everywhere and at
last concluded that shoemakers' wax
represented it best. He made tests.
ana this is what he found:
lie melted some wax in common
glass tumbler. After IL had hardened
he tried TO thrust a lead pencil through
It. 1t would not go. Then he placed a
CON on the surface Of the wax and
left II there for several days. When
he again visited ii the coin had sunk
to the bottom OF the glass. The wax
had closed over 1t, and by lifting up
the glass and looking through the bot
tom he could see the coin lying there.
Had the wax been as deep as well
the coin would have gone on sinking
unlil it reached the bottom. This proved
that the wax would conform only to
very slow movements. If he had tried
TO push 1t too fast It would have re-
sisted him.
An idea struck the scientist. II the
wax acted like this toward the coin,
how would it treat an object which
holted? He accordingly placed a
corl, I'm n tumbler and poured hot shoe
makers wax upon It, The wax hard
ened with the cork at the bottom. Yet
when Lord Kelvin looked at the bot
tom OF the glass I'm n day or two he
WAS somewhere i'm the mass Of wax
ana probably rising very slowly, but
surely, toward the top. Sure enough,
after n given period Of time the cork
pcepcd above the surface Of the hard
WAX, and finally it rose to point where
II remained half imbedded in the wax,
just as 1t would have done in a glass
Of wafer. 1t rose no higher than this,
however, and n corkscrew probably
would not have pulled it from the wax
Yet its own buoyancy had raised 1t up
from the bottom through what seemed
an impcnctrable mass Of wax.
This, i'm fact, Is the popularity of
sh)emakcrs' waX-that it resists all
sudden or quick movements, but Is
highly susceptible TO very slow and
prolonged pressure. II you pressed a
fla iron hard down on n lump Of wax
on a table it is probable you would
Ike no impression on it, but If you
left that iron resting on the wax for a
day or two you would find the lump
fla tened out under the iron. So curl

The first food Of the day

Every man, woman and child begins
the day with more or less vigor of mind
and strength of body according to the
first food supplied to the stomach. The
best first dish of the day is a bowl Of
Quaker Oats. The stomach can assimi-
late it more quickly and with less effort
than other foods. There is little or no
waste and every ounce of food is con-
verted into muscle, vigor and brain
activity. The strongest people in the
world are the regular eaters of Quaker
Oats. You should eat it for breakfast
every day.
The regular size package of Quaker
Oats sells for 10c, the large family size
package comes at 25c and Soc.
