Linuid Crystals

When the discovery of liquid crys-
tails was announced number of years
ago many men Of science were very
skeptical on the subject and thought
that some error must have been made
by the discoVerer, Professor Lehman
It was pointed out that the very name
liquid crystal" was self contradictory
Later the diseoverer continued and ex-
tended the study of these crystals, the
genuineness of which he seems to have
established, although the molecular
structure of the peculiar liquids ex-
perimented with is not clearly under
stood. The facts appear to be that
certain chemical liquids at particular
temperatures exhibit the characters
tic crystalline properties of double re
fraction and dichroism. But exceed
ingly small disturbing forces suffice
to deform the liquid crystals owing to
their slight rigidity.-Harper's Week

A SERMONET.

This was Hagars prayer:
Give me neither poverty nor riches
/ It was wise petition.
If you are in the depths of poverty
life can offer but little to you The
sordid hand to mouth existence over.
whelms the best and highest that is in
you and prevents your being what you
want to be or ought to be.
Similarly, if you are very rich the
abundance overwhelms the highest and
best that is in you and prevents your
being what you want or ought to be-
You agree as to the first and deny
the second?
Note this: Ii you are rich you must
always be alert against the machina-
lions of the shrewd, else the shreWd
will surely get part of your abun-
dant surplus. To feel that men would
rob you is to shut up the bowels of
your mercy and put you out Of touch
Which is not conducive to happiness.
1t is true that
If you are rich you will hesitate to
trust proffered friendship for fear
the prefer may be mask with a de-
sign behind it. You will feel that
what is done for you is done for your
moneys sake and not for your sake
Whereas
II you are of the common herd your
friends are disinterested friends. II
you are sick or your family meets with
misfortune these friends will be friends
indeed. Common folk look after one
another in the times of suffering and
of stress.
Moreover
If you are rich your wealth exposes
you to every sort of disagreeable no
toriety. When your forty second cousin
makes a scandal he is exploited in the
black headlines Of the newspapers as
"the near relative of the rich Mr.. -"
On the slightest provocation your fam
lily history is exploited for the delecta-
ton Of the multitude.
Besides
Your labors to retain your wealth are
as sordid as those of the poor mortal
who grabs at mere existence. There
is nothing joyous and nothing charae-
ter making in your labors
On the other hand
Work for living is a blessing IN
disguise 1t is a panacea for sorrow
and makes for character. And, though
sometimes it may seem to be irksome
and grievous. yet there is in it a joy
that comes in no other way
Oh, my friends. could give you
many reason why you should pray
the prayer of Hagar
Nevertheless you say, Give me the
riches!''
And, to be frank with you, / who
speak to you have said the same, but
| am free to say that
1t is better to be poor than poverty
stricken; it is better to be happy than
rich.

MARRIED AT TWELVE.

Recently In an Indiana town the par

Which was a vicious crime against

More than that, it was crime

crime against the future.

fathers knee; a girl of tender years,
whose only serious concern should be

pleasures should be her dolls and play

came cynical The world no longer
appears beautiful. His standing sneer
| at humanity is that every man and
woman has a price. He is unappre-
ciative, grabbed and unpopular.
| Why the change?
Simply this-the man has changed
his viewpoint.
The world has not changed, nor the
people. His angle of vision is diff
ferent. He sees only the seamy side
of things. What be sees is what he
is looking for. and he finds what he
wants to see. And what he sees makes
him what he is.
And this man thinks himself super
wise He has found the world out!
Cynic and pessimist that he is, he has
overlooked the law OF seeing, which
is
You see what you want to see. What
Iou see transforms you into what you
are. And. in turn, what you are de-
termines what you see
You cannot see what IS not in you
to see, If you are unbeautiful in your
inner self you cannot see the beauties
of nature or of a great picture or of
human nature.
The ability to see is not in nature nor
the picture nor in humanity, but in
yourself.
Therefore the cynical point o. view
is wrong, and there is no wisdom in
the cynic's philosophy.
1t requires discernment and the right
angle Of vision to discover the good
that is in people and things. And the
optinaist is wiser than the cynic be-
cause the optimist sees the things thai
are worth while.
The cynic is not a fair critic.
The cynic does not see things as they
are. His vision is warped. The gen
uine sort Of criticism is that sort
where the critic discovers and appre-
ciates the good He knows the evil.
but is not Influenced by it.
Be careful how you see.
Look for beauty and goodness and
you will find them, and they will /
make you beautiful and good; look for
agliness. and evil and you will find
them. and they will make you evil

! DEPENDABLENESS.

Dependableness is basic virtue, and
Fshe lack Of it spells failure.
1t is better than brilliancy.
When you say of a man. HE is a
bright fellow, but you can't depend
upon him, you write down not only his
9Esnoral delinquency, but his reputation
A lot Of people lack this virtue.
You make an order on your grocer
at IS for your dinner, and you are
promised prompt delivery. The stuff
does not arrive and your dinner must
wait. You are exasperated, and there
IS no apology This happens a few
Shines, and you change your grocer.
You go to the wall paper establish
qsnent and select the pattern for your
gOonns. A definite day is agreed upon
1or the work, date that will not in
7Sesfere with your wife's annual clean
Ing. The day passes. You call up the
store. The manager is sorry, etc. but
the hanger will positively get to your
place tomorrow Tomorrow passes
land no man appears. 1t may be a
week before he appears. provided you
~1o not cancel the order
Or
Your dressmaker, madame. positive
~ agrees to have your new gown
ready. You explain that you must
have it for a certain evening. You
give her plenty of time. When she
wants you to come to be fitted you
comply. There is no excuse, but the
garment is not delivered, much to your
annoyance.
What is the matter with this sort OF
people? They lack dependableness.
A man makes business engagement
with you. He is late and apologies.
You have another date with. him, and
again he apologies. You have lost
valuable time. and you remember that
man.
These are little things, but they
merge into mans character.
Is he prompt? Is his word good? Is
he entitled to credit? Can he be de
pended upon? These are the CONNER
cial souchstones that determine
mans standing
Dependableness is capital.
1t is better than money. It is the
basis OF business credit which enables
n man to make money.
There re begin early to put the
1ber Of dependableness into your
childs character.
Train him to keep his engagements,
however trivial they may be- Teach
him the inviolability Of promise.
Make your child dependable.

TO A FATHER.
Tou say Jimmie is twelve.

| IOU say Jimmie is twelve.
Then it is high time, if you have rot
already done so, to become Jimmie's
chum
1t was all right GoF his mother tc
have charge of him so long as he was
more baby than boy. He could tell
her everything, and she could help him
I in everything. She knew where he
was and what he was doing.
1t is different now"
The boy is big enough to be called
James" and secretly be yearns for
long trousers. Unconsciously, maybe,
but surely. he is Juggling to get loose
from his mothers apron strings.
He begins to be man.
This is your opportunity to get close
to him. Jimmie wants a mate to talk
to and confide in. You can be that
mate if you want to be.
Jimmie would rather be your sworn
pal than to take up with any other
person on earth. 1t would please him
nightly.
The danger is this:
He may become either ashamed or
afraid to confide in you. And If he
is either he may consult some harum
scarum of the street.
Some fathers. altogether too digni-
fed or stern, proceed on the theory
that the son must recognize the pa
rental authority, and they lay down the
law and punish the least infraction Of
it. They believe that will keep the
boy straight.
1t viii doubtless keep him from
ongdoing-where it can be found
out
You see, the danger is that Jimmie,
being afraid of you. may become a
sneak. He will not tell you the truth.
He will deceive you. And Jimmie is
likely to become not only sneak, but
a liar.
Also
If Jimmie is ashamed to tell you
about some things he may do things
of which he ought to be ashamed
My dear sir, you may so have the
confidence of your son that he will
tell you everything everything! Moth
ing is too delicate for father and son
to discuss-if they are chums
Jimmie must know from some
source the things you know about life
How much better you should tell him
than some other. Do you want your
boy to face temptations ignorantly or
wrongly instructed?
What are you in the world for any
way?
To make money for Jimmie?
No!
You are in the world to help your
boy make man OF himself-a man as
good as you are or better.
For that are you a father.
And il Jimmie fails to make a good |
man it will largely be your fault and |
your shame. But if he succeeds. Why,
that will be the joy and triumph of |
your life.
