Chemical Trlumphs.

The steel industry is today at ev-

control. An eminent authority esti-
mates that the Bessemer process
alone added, directly and indirectly,
$4,000, 100000 yearly to the worlds
wealth.
Chemical processes of making mad
der and indigo colors have changed
the face of those industries. One
half of the entire consumption OF in
digo is now produced in German

the vine at one side of the terrace,
by their table, was the abode Of a
spider, whose energy was a source of
continual botheration to the well or
dered soul Of madam the proprie-

During one OF these afternoon tete.

direction at the same moment, and

"The professor, evidently tired of
reading, was laying down his book at
the instant we looked out AS he did
so he noticed that Miss Angelica's
gaze was fastened upon a spot on the
table between them. Apparently his
first impulse was to brush away the
spider he saw there, but on second
thought he hesitated.
NOW, the professor was accustom-
ed to read with his left arm resting
on one side of the table, and today
Miss Angelica, sitting opposite him,
was resting her head upon one hand,
with her elbow on the table.
THE spider was weaving away
but oh, such a web! San
ford and I in struggling to get a
better view of what was going on
without being seen or heard almost
upset our table. You would never,
believe it, but that ugly little insect
was making a straight line from Miss
Angelica's elbow to the professors
coat sleeve. Fascinated, both watch
ed him until he had carried the web
straight across and joined it well on
both ends.
"Then the professor drew long
breath.

voice in which there was not the
slightest suspicion Of a Greek accent,
but only tenderness.
"He looked at Miss Angelica with
a compelling gaze. She lifted her
eyes and smiled happily.

A review of tho development of ath-
1etic competition in the United States
prepared by q committee of the ANA
teur Athletic Union calls attention to
the remarkable growth of athletics in
the past twenty years. From a total
OF about three or four thousand COM
peting athletes in recognized events in
1890 to nearly a million to-day is a
wonderful expansion. but no less than
the increase in tho number of athletic
clubs, from which these entrants
come, from about fifty score Of
years ago to several thousand. Prac-
ticaIly every city and town now has a
recognized athletic club, including in
its membership not only competing
athletes, but men prominent in af-
fairs, in business and the professions
who are interested in good, clean
sport and who themselves enjoy the
opportunities Afforded for exercise
and recreEtion. The Increasing pop
ularity of golf &36 tennis and outdoor
games and the country club moye-
ment have no doubt done much to
foster this interest. And 1t is a. ex-
cellent development tending to coua-
teract the effects of the sedentas9 life

In the past the skyscraper men
were boisterous, swashbuckling lot.
They s'foated" from New Orleans to
Vancouver, lived in freight cars, built
bridges and dropped off them with a
grin and a choking "good-by." A
hero among them was a man who had
the longest fall to his credit, or who
could toss a white-hot rivet the great
est distance, cites Harper's Weekly.
They lived hard and died easily. To-
day they know that a man stands
highest on the pay roll who takes his
work and its danger most seriously,
who also watches the man next to
him-for in this calling one mans
error often means another mans life.

Realizing EDITORS Ideals.

When a man pays down his dollar
for a years subscription to his home
paper, or foEadvertising in its col
umns, he is at the same time adver-
tising his home town to the outlying
country and neighboring cities. The
more newspapers subscription and
advertising increase, the more fea-
lures the publisher can add, the
faster he can improve his mechanical
equipment, the more nearly can he
come to realize his ideals of news

People can live in a temperature
which feels from ten to twenty degrees
cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by
regulating the diet
The plan is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast; use goodly allowance. Of
fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then fol-
low with a saucer containing about four
heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts,
treated with little rich cream. Add to
this about two slices of crisp toast with
a meager amount Of butter, and one
cup of well-made Postum.
BY this selection OF food the bodily
energy is preserved, while the hot, car
bonaceous foods have been left out.
The result is very marked difference
in the temperature of the body, and
to this comfortable condition Is added
the certainty Of ease and perfect diges-
ton. for the food being partially pre-
digested is quickly assimilated by the
digestive machinery
Experience and experiment in food,
and It's application to the human body
has brought out these facts. They
can be made use of and add materially
to the comfort Of the user.

Disease is a life-saving effort of the
body, directed by the body's mind, to
get rid of harmful things in the body.
Or disease helps out injured or over
worked parts of organs. Disease is
the next best thing to health, for it is
natures own way of trying to bring
the body back to the healthy, har-

often, too, of making protective stuff

ROADSIDE REST.

Such quiet sleep has come to them;
The springs and summers pass,
Nor do they know If it be snow
Or daisies in the grass.
All day the birohes bend to hear
The rivers undertone;
Across the hush "a fluting thrush
Sings evensong alone.
But down their dream there drifts no
sound;
The winds may sob and stir.
On the still breast of Peace they rest
And they are glad of her.
They ask not any gift; they mind
Not any foot that fares;
Unheededly life passes by,
Such quiet sleep is theirs.
