Wise WAYS for Wives.

In stitching any thin, soft
material such as silk or net. that
persists in pickering under the
preSser-foot, try stitching a strip
of newSpaper with the seam. After
the stitching is done the paper may
be torn away and the seam will
be perfectly smooth. The paper
tears more easily and with better
results if stitched length-wise on
the page, just rs cloth often tears
better one way than the other.
When washing woodwork use a
piece of tin two feet long and six
inches wide to protect the wall
paper, pushing it along as you
work. The same may be used to
keep window glass clean when
painting window SasheS.
To keep a fine gloss on your
Vanished floors, sprinkle with
coarse salt; let remain for FIVE
minutes, then sweep off with soft
broom. Do this and your floors
will look rs If newly vanished.
ANY fine lawn waist need not be
discarded b. cause of a hole or
through fear of an unsightly patch.
Take a piece of the material, wet
it in cold starch and lay under the
hole. Iron smoothly, and then see
the result-a neat patch without
sewing.
To save boys much worry, sew
hangers inside school caps. A
piece of cloth or braid same color
a lining, firmly and neatly sewed
in. one inch from bottom of the
back, is just the thing. They must
stay on the hooks then.-The New
Idea Woman's Magazine for July.

THE TELESCOPE.

GaliIei's Rude Instrument the FRS,
Used In Astronomy.
The first telescope was pointed to-
ward the sky on Jan. 4. 1910. when
Galilei first tried his rude instrument
and was rewarded by discovering some
Of the moons OF Jupiter. No great
magnifying power was needed for this.
as at least one OF the moons is large
enough 10 be seen by the naked eve
did not the nearness OF the brilliant
planet prevent this. Lenses had been
known for a long time and were at
that time in common use by near
sighted persons.
The name OF the real discoverer OF
the telescope seems TO be unknown.
but the accepted story now is that
two young sons Of Middebury op-
ticinn named Lippersley some time
between 1905 and IG0S. while playing
with some lenses. happened TO hold
two OF them at q distance from each
other and were surprised and delight
ed TO find that the weather vane on a
neighboring tower seemed TO come
near them when looked ar through the
two lenses. In April. 1000. a little
telescope made in Holland was offered
for sale IN Paris.
The next month Galilei. then pro-
fessor in the university at iadua.
heard OF this instrument and realized
at once its importance In the study OF
astronomy. From the description of
the Dutch instrument be had one
made at once. and in August he as
founded the people OF Venice by show
ing them from the top OF the cam
panile persons entering The doors OF
the church ar Murano This spyglass
was less than two inches In diameter
and magniiied three times. From this
crude Instrument of Galilei TO the
monster telescopes forty inches in
diameter of the present day is the de-
velopment OF only three centuries

AN OWL STORY.
Showing tho Tyrsrnsus Effect % Habit

An English publication tells this in
teresting story OF an owl:
vague tigure apissared out OF the
clouds. travelling against the wind to

a ragged pisce OF newspaper whsrled
about the heavens than any living
thing. IL was a white owl. and after

he succeeded again and again io get

sion struck by fsr~h Violent gust and
driven back To great distance. often
quite out OF sight i'm the gloom. But
presently he would reappear. still
struggling To reach the vane. A crazy
bird.
Rut could not help admiring bis
pluck and greatly wondered what his
secre; motive in aiming a, that windy
perch could be. And at last. after so
many defeats. he succeeded aud
grasped the metal crossbar with his
crooked taions. The wind with all It's
fury could not tear him from IL. aud
after a little fiapping he was able to

This. then. had been his powerful.

wiied On ANY branch ar barn roof or
fence and saved himself that tremen-
dous labor. This was an extreme In
stance OF that ,yrannous effect OF

bird had been accustomed after de-

School Terms too Short.

The biennial report Of the De
partment of Public Instruction,
which will soon he distributed.
shows that the average length of
the school term in Virginia is only
six and one-half months. As COM
pared with other Southern States
this is a good showing; but we are
far behind the States of other sec
tons. I child in order to make
Satisfactory progress should attend
school at least eight months of the
year. The city and town child of
the State have this opportunity,
but the child who attends the one
room country school has no such
good fortune.
Many of our country schools
have a term of only FIVE months.
When will the country boy and
girl get as good a chance for an
education as the city chiIdl Ger
tainly not until the school term is
heightened. This will mean. per-
haps, an increase in the school levy.
The principle you can't get some
thing for nothing" applies in educa-
ton as it does in all the affairs of
life.
Another fact shown by the re-
port of the State Superintendent
is that the attendance in thecountry
is very poor, averaging only about
seventy per cent. The average
for the cities and towns is about
ninety per cent. Many of the
larger boys lose several weeks each
term because they are neededon the
farm. This may be necessary. but
1t is unfortunate for the boy. His
education is matter of great i'm
portance. Let US hope that in the
near future the crops may be
pitched and harvested without hav-
ing to take the boy away from his
school. While he is away his more
fortunate schoolmates leave him
far behind, and the time is
fast approaching when his chance
for an eduction will be gone.
