week"

with him."
AT first we were, but new broom
sweeps clean, you know, and we found
that William was lazy. He was fine at
washing the windows, spading the gar
den, pumping the vacuum cleaner,
moving the lawn, tending the furnace,
running errands, pressing clothes,
sweeping the walks, polishing the
floors, oiling the furniture, preparing
the vegetables, waiting on table and
doing the dishes. But he was lazy. He
used to go to sleep at midnight regu-
larly, no matter where he was. Many
a time Mr.. De Payste has left the club

ing and found William snoring in the
car outside. Imagine how 1t must have

The SIamesa TwIna-

Siamese Twins was a name given to
two children, Eng and Chang, born
of Chinese parents In Siam, in 1911,
having their bodies united by band
of flesh, stretching from the end of
one breastbone to the same place on
the opposite twin. The Siamese Twins
were purchased Of their mother at
Meklong, and were brought to Amer
lea in 1929 for exhibition purposes,
and were afterwards taken to Eng
land. After realizing q competence
by exhibiting themselves in the vari-
GUS countries of Europe, the Siamese
Twins settled down in the southern
states, where they were married to sis.
ters and had offspring. Ruined by
the Civil war In America, the Siamese
Twins again made a tour of Europe,
and exhibited themselves again in
London in 1869. They died January
II, 1874, the one surviving the other
only two hours and half, and then
then dying from the effect of the
shock on a heart already weak.

TUNING FROM IDOL WORSHIP
Indians Of Nicaragua Rapidly Being
Brought to a State Of
Christianity.

Mr.. and Mrs. r. R. Zollhoper, Mora
Wan church missionaries to the In.
dams In Nicaragua, are at the Grune-
valid. Mr.. and Mrs Zollhoper are from
Germany, and have been located on
the Mosquito coast of Central Amerl.
ca for ten years. They are returning
now from a years vacation at their
homes, and have heard nothing as to
the trouble in Nicaragua.
Our work In Nicaragua is con-
fined to the native Indians" said Mr..
Zollhoper recently, "and we have now
about 5000 of these former heather
worshipers under our control"
Mr.. Zollhoper said that the basis OF
the Indian superstition was that there
we're two gods, one a male and one a
female, but there was no Joint control
by these two.
The male god" said he, rs called
Wonaisa, which means in the native
language our father This god is
supposed to be good deity, but the
natives do not think much of his
power to control their affairs. They
seem to think that he lives very far
off somewhere. they do not know, and
that he pays very little attention to the
affairs of man, but still they think
that there is nothing vindictive about
him.
The other god is a female deity,
and is named Yapti Misera, which
means mother of the Indians. This
goddess is supposed to dwell In the
Indian heaven, and to rule the spirits
of the departed. Their Idea of this
heaven is like that of the Turkish or
Mahammedan religion. They believe
that there will be dancing and drink
ing, and all kinds Of merrymaking
there, and once year they have a
feast to this Yapti Misera, and this
feast is characterized by all sorts of
selfindulgence."
Mr.. Zollhoper said that the native
Indians were allowed to live very
much as they pleased, and they were
not affected by any changes Of gov.
eminent. He said that they were be-
coming Christianized very rapidly.
and that. once taken out of their own
crude superstition or religion, they
made very good people.-New Orleans

REAL FOOD FOR THE ACTORS

Belasco. Still, over-cautiously is their
example followed, but yet 1t may be
said that the markets are richer for
their having lived. The roast turkey

WORLD OWES MUCH TO WOMAN
Florence Nightingale Worthy Of All
the Honors That Can Be
Paid Her.

The honors paid to Florence Night
ingale on her ninety-first birthday
serve to recall how brief has been the
period during which the sick have had
the benefit of the competent nursing
on which their recovery so largely de-
ponds.
1t is impossible to conceive of mod
ern medical practise without the aid
of trained nurses. Their efficiency
has undoubtedly been an important
factor in the increased durability of
disease. Yet but little more than half
a century has elapsed since Miss
Nightingale set out for the Crimea on
her mission which was to revolution
lie hospital work, and II was not until
1872 that the first class of trained
nurses was graduated from the Belle
vue Training School
From these small beginnings has
grown within a generation the great
humanitarian profession for women for
which they have shown a special apti-
tude and to which they are attracted
in annually increasing numbers.
The influence of the woman whom
England as also the civilized world
honors beyond perhaps all others has
extended to every sick room. She

Checking the Compass at Sea.


The steel hull of a vessel is rem.
dered magnetic during construction
by the hammering of the metal, and
every steel vessel has to have its
compass corrected to counteract it's
own magnetic lines of force. The
magnetic influence is further compli-
Gated by the load carried by the YES
sci II this load is magnetic or capable
OF being magnetized. The ore-carry-
ing vessels of the great lakes expert
ence great difficulty on this account,
and the United States photographic
bureau is endeavoring to teach pilots
and captains Of vessels plying IN this
trade how to check their course by
means Of the pelorus. The pelorus is
an instrument similar to the sun dial,
being provided with a gnomon and a
graduated arc on which shadow of
the gnomon is cast. The instrument
is set in a north and south direction,
as indicated by the compass, and
then by noting the shadow on the
graduated arc, 1t is possible to tell by
comparison with tables, furnished by
the government, just how far from
the north and south position the gno-
mon really lies, thus showing the
compass error.

An Almost Universal Prayer.

Among the late Bishop Foss' anec,
dotes about prayer" said a Philadel-
phia Methodist, there was one con
corning a very original Norristown
preacher.
This preacher, in the course of a
long prayer one Sunday night, recount
ed the many misfortunes and evils that
had befallen him in the course of his
long life. Then, signing heavily, he
prayed:
Thou hast tried me with afHiction,
with bereavement, and with sorrow of
many kinds. If thou are obliged to try
me again, Lord, try me with the bur
den of wealth."

An Act of Providence
By LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY


But / can't ask him to marry me?"
No, but you can throw out hints. l
never should have been married the
third time II | hadn't throwed out
hints. waited and waited till every
body said l was a ninny, and then /
let on to Sam that had had an offer
from windmill man. He Just drove
right off and got justice of the peace
and then he went about licking every
windmill.man he could find"
These peop'e talked with the best of
intentions, but they only made things
worse. One day, when Deacon Sprout
met Elder Pinch on the highway, a
sort Of last inquest was held on the
remains of Cupid in this particular
case.
Elder, dunno--p dunno" Deacon
Sprout murmured.
And | dunno" replied the elder.
They orter get married, hadn't
they?"
Yes, they certingly orter."
Then why don't they. elder-why
don't they?"
The elder stroked his venerable chin
whiskers and gave the query his
closest thought for a moment, and
then replied:
They must be waitin' for an act OF
Providence"
by crackey, but believe you're
right; surely do. And mebbe it won't
be long delayed"
1t wasn't. Three nights later two
tramps took up lodgings in haystack
they woke up to have a smoke. The
haystack ought to have been fireproof,
but 1t wasn't, The tramps were In
continentally turned out of house and
home. Farmer Brown was out of bed
to see what the weather promised and
he saw the flames. They were on line
with the widows house, and he went
across the fields on the jump. Some
thing had Weakened the widow, and she
was only half dressed when the door
was kicked in and she was seized In q
pair of strong arms and borne out Of
doors, although the flaming stack was
whole field away.
Joseph Brown, double hero, was
about to deposit his burden on bed
of burdocks when it sighed. chung the
closer and whispered:
Yes, Joe, yes, l VIII be your wifel"
Three days later, when the deacon
and elder met again, the deacon said:
We'll, elder, that act of Providence
burned up five tons of good timothy
hay"
YES, but Joe Brown and the wilder
might have gone along maxim fools Of
themselves for the next 20 years
without it"

New system Of JoIntIng Lead Cables.

WV ~ ~ NNfNNfA SSee SaBi0ga
A new system of jointing lead
cables has been developed in England.
1t consists In placing thin ribbon Of
pure tin between the surfaces that
are to be Joined, and then heating
them with blow lamp. The surfaces
in the presence of the tin melt at a
lower temperature than normal, and
thus they are soldered together. The
tin ribbon is treated with compost
ton to prevent oxidation during heat
ing. Another system OF 1ointing con-
sists IN the application of mold over
the cable. A piece of tin ribbon is ap-
piled to the surfaces which are TO be
Joined, and then molten lead is
poured into the mold. The flow is so
directed as not TO burn through the
lead sheathing Of the cable.
