TomnlY's Prayer.

The Sunday school lesson had peer
on the efficacy Of prayer, and the
teacher had done her best to instil in
to the youthful mind the belief that
our prayers are answered. There
was one doubling Thomas, however,
who insisted that he knew better.
why Tommy, I am surprised to
hear you say you don't believe ou1
prayers are answered." expostulated
the teacher.
Il know they amt" persisted Tom.
my %doggedly.
What makes you think so?" asked
the teacher.
I don't think it; I know it," re-
piled Tommy. You know the angels
brought a new baby to our house last
week"
Yes, J heard about it," said the
teacher. Now, surely, that was an
answer to prayer, wasn't it,"
1T was, nit" replied Tommy, dis
gustedly. Why, for six months I've
been praying for a goat!"-Philadel-

The Habit of Saving.

Whatever objection, real or fan
cied, there may be to the postal saw
ings bank scheme, now enacted into
law, whoever may reap the greatest
benefits from the deposits-the Gov
eminent, selfish private interests or
the depositors themselVes-the SIM
pie fact remains that the new .nstitu-
ton will tend to promote thrift
among men, women, boys and girls or
limited means.
The habit of saving, once formed,
becomes ineradicable. 1t is as hard
to get rid of the habit of smoking. 1t
preserves self-respect. 1t is a great
economic, intellectual and even moral
anchor for the individual anC for So
ciety. There is no reason why the
habit of saving should degenerate
into a misery, niggardly, mean ha4t t.
Iago is never cited as an authority
ON ethics, but he had a clear n lever
head. And when he implored Rod
erigo, the Venetian gentleman, to for
get his futile and unrequited passion
for. Desdemona and to put mon in
thy purse" to I'LL thy purse with
money" to make all the money thou
canst," he was giving him the best
possible advice under the circum-
stances. If Iago had been a member
of the present Congress, he would
surely have voted for President Taft's
savings plan.-Boston Globe.

however, and the trimming is narrow
frills. If something more elaborate
were wanted, the yoke could be en-
broidered by hand or cut from all
over material, or the edges Of the
yoke and the edges of the sleeves
could be scalloped. Indeed, there
are various ways in which the dress
can be treated, but the simple one
illustrated Ia admirable for everyday
wear, and Is pretty and attractive.
The dress is cut in n piece and
h scanned. under the arms only. The
yoke, however, is made in three pieces
and with shoulder seams. The open-
Ing is cut under the box pleat at the
centre-back and the dress is closed
invisibly, while the yoke is buttoned
over ints place.

for the medium size .(four years. is
three and one-half yards twenty-four,
two and three-fourth yards twenty
seven, n and seven-eighth yards

yards forty-four inches wide, with
three yards of ruf1ing.

Straight Pleated Skirt.

The simple skirt that Is SO devised
.as to give the effect Of a: tunic' is one
greatly liked this season, and this
model obtains the result, with the
least possible labor. In reality the
skirt is a straight one, and conse-
quently it suits washable materials
particularly we'll, yet the wide tuck at
knee depth gives a suggestion of the
favorite tunic and is essentially
smart. Embroidered muslin is the
material illustrated, but the skirt will
be found available for the foulards
and pongees and for all the thin ma
terials Of the season. 1t would be
lovely made from marquisette Or from
cotton voile; it makes an excellent
model for foulard and all the muslins
are just as we'll adapted to it as the
one illustrated.
The skirt Is made in n piece. 1t
can be finished at the lower edge
either with a hem or an undertaking
and the tuck Is laid on indicated lines.

His Ruling Passion.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in
an address at Washington said OF
farming:
THE successful farmer loves his
work. Every detail of it interests
hin. Thus Squire Plowlands proved
himself a poor theologian, but a good
farmer when he met, one Sunday
morning, his tenant, Hodge.
Where have you been, Hodge?'
said the squire.

Leather HOrSeShOeS.

In some parts of Australia the
Norse is shod with leather instead CT
iron, the feet receiving better sup
port, but this novelty is employed
only in regions where the ground is
permanently covered with grass or
fine sand. Though the leather shoe
is more expensive than the iron shoe
the higher price is repaid by the SUI
perior advantages. 1t is not impossi-
BILE the innovation will soon extend to
every county where the nature of the
soil permits it to be used.-BritiSh

MUCH HOBO.
Circled the Globe Five Times n
Has Picked Up Many Languages.

Frank C. WEIGH, of Pittsburg and
the rest of the world, has just arrived
in the City of Mexico over the Ma
tional Railway from Laredo, having
ridden the distance on every portion
of the train except the car seats, n
meeting with some d~iscouraging de-
a on the road. Mr.. Welch, known
to hobodom as Penn" left San LUIS
Potosi in a car of imported corn.
At the tender age of eleven years
Mr.. WEIGH, now twenty-seven years
old, had a difference Of opinion with
his father which resulted in his leaV-
ing home. With a boy companion
thew started for Boston, intending to
sell newspapers enough to pay their
passage to England. At New YORK
City they changed plans, for financial
reasons the companion abandoned
the trip, and WEIGH, having exhausted
his nerve and resources, vas weeping
on the docks when a seafarlng man
hove to. This person happened to
have a tramp steamer of his own, and
he adopted WEIGH for a four years
voyage.
When the boy got home he was SO
thoroughly saturated with the idea
of travelling that he has been at L.
ever since. Five trips around Il
world and to every continent OF 1t,
and eleven trips across the United
States, besides numerous zigzags into
various corners, have been included
in his sixteen years wanderings. he
has kept a record of his tramps and
has gathered a smatte-ing of various
foreign tongues, besides a geograpn-
ical vocabulary that is rather aston
ishing. He claims $4,000 miles OF
travel, making an average OF llo
miles a day, since he first left home.
He has not willingly stayed In one
place more than ten days, and he
claims to have been under arrest
only twice in all the time.-MeXlcan
Herald.

Hints on Color.

Blue suits the golden-haired girl.
and makes her hair look more beau
tiful, but it seems to destroy all the
beauty of some gray-eyed maids, and
it is most unbecoming to those OF at
all sallow complexion. Now, gold IN
some form will conceal any little yell
lowness of the skin, and white COM
ing in contact with the face subdues
the i'll effects of blue and preserves
it's good ones. Only to the youngest
and fairest do pink and white seem
suitable, and yet white is much used
by the old, and soft white laces are
becoming even to grandmothers.

The Popular Sash.

Sashes are seen on almost every
costume, whether to add the universal
touch Of black or to complete the
color scheme. On the cuirass frocks
they are worn between hips and
knees, where the pleated skirt is
joined to the fitted bodice. Again
on frocks with a slightly high waist
at the back the sash is knotted quite
a few inches above the normal waist
line, and the long ends hang to the
hem of the skirt.

O Adjournment.

Ornaments, tassels, balls and
fringe, echoing crystal and bead eff
fects, play a part in evening frock
adornment, and draperies on the wing

with t~assels, often mitigate the Sc
verify Of the line in close-Stting

Tricot Cloth Corscts.

The desire of women for comforta-
BILE corsets, I've though they are
long, has brought about the use OF
tricot cloth in their making. This is
a little stronger than the elastic web
bling, which was not firm enough to
maintain the figure in its proper lines.
This new cloth is easy over the body,
not pressing it. Gown as coutil does.
If ones hips annot stand the pres
sure of bones, gusset of the webbing
is inserted.

STYLES of Early Thirties.

Old-fashiOned sashes in bright col
ored ribbons will be worn again on
the simpler lingerie dresses. Tied in
a large butterfly bow at the centre
back, they recall the styles of the
early thirties, when bob curls and
shoulder tippets were worn, too. This
is another indication that the present
fashions cater primarily to the
younger set.

Old fashioned sandpaper was made
with selected sand-hence the name.
What is known as sandpaper now is
all made with crushed glass and is
really much better than the old time
product. Old bottles, ETC., r first
crushed and then ground, and the
various grades of fineness are secured
by sitting. To get the powder on the
paper hot glue is applied as it passes
through a machine and the powdered
glass is sifted on at the same time.
Then a wooden roller passes e the
sheet and presses down and snooths

A Wet Harvest Relic.

A curious token has just been
found at Barton, inscribed "Tunsten
and Happing, 1912. One Halfpenny.
Payable at the Corporation House"
This was the year of the wet harvest,
the worst ever known. 1t rained in
cessantly all September, October and
during most of November, and on
November 20 farmers were carting
barley, a sharp wind frost prevailing.
Wheat was sixty shillings a coomb,
and so bad was it in quality that
dough made from the -four resembled
slime.

. An important paper on oils used for
switches and transformers was re-
Gently read at the Manchester ses-
sion of the Institute of Electrical En-
gineers. 1t was pointed out that very
little attention has been paid to the
quality of the oil used in this way,
and that any impurity in the oil
would reduce its resistance to a flow
of electric current, also that the spe-
cifc resistance at different tempera-
lures varies with the grade Of the oil.
Careful investigation Of this subject
was urged with a view to obtaining
