Lore of the Clover.

Any one who carries about a four
leaved clover will be lucky and will
have the power of discovering ghosts
or evil spirits. With 1t under the pill
low the lover may insure dreams OF
the beloved one. A fragment In the
shoe of a traveller insures a safe Jour
ney. OF the five leaved clover 1t Is de-
elared that If 1t be worn on the left
side of a maiden's dress or fastened
behind the hall door the Christian
name of the first man who enters will
be the same as that of the future hus-
band. The power of the four leased
shamrock for good is familiar to all
from Lovers pretty and once popular
song, the speaker In which pictures
what she would do should she find the
magic plant:
/ would play the enchanter's psrt and
scatter. bliss around,
And not a tear or aching heart should In
the world be found.

oxerattsnfion to Children.

Few mothers realize the risk of over
caution and overattentiop to their chill
dren after they are old enough to play
and romp about. A child is happier
with few and simple %playthings than
with a multitude of complicated toys.
There is no such good fun or good
training as making oneself useful in
doing little things like work, and it is
cruelty to deprive the child of this
pleasure and stimulus. Let the brain
and body be trained through hand, foot
and eye. Give the boy a carpenters
bench; encourage the girls to do house
work. Where possible let both boy
and girl have a little garden patch, ii
only a few feet square, and the care
Of a few plants. A woman in her
home, a MAN In his garden-this seems
to be a fundamental type from which
we cannot entirely depart without risk
to body and mind. Cheerfulness, sin
cerity, industry, perseverance and uh-
~sel6shness may be acquired by prae-
tice and constant repetition as much
Al the art Of correct speaking or of
playing the piano and are far more
necessary to health.

Tho Nature of friendship,

Friendship may be fostered, but cam
not be forced. Two are as one, not
because it is in the will Of either, but
because it is in the nature of both.
When souls of similar fiber encounter
each other the gods preside at the
meeting. l may not cockily say, 81
will make this man my friend" He
either Is or is not my friend without
any decision of mine or his. The ages
have been shaping the two of US, and
If we fit into each other well and good;
If not, we know it instinctively and
are worlds apart though we toast our
shins at the same fire and handy words
till doomsday.-Richard Wightman In

Points
For
*

What becomes of precocious children
when they grow up? Nobody knows.
1t is a good thing that average gets
hold of them or we would be a land
o~verfowing with geniuses. There
would be SO many of them that COM
mon people would not be missed from
the directory. says an exchange. 8
AS a matter of fact, the men and
women who are doing things when
they are fifty years old are not the
ones who were pointed out on chill
dren's day. Very often precocity is a
flower that blooms early and withers
early. Even the big men and ONE
who stand out In history were COM
monplace children. while their preco-
cious companions sleep In obscure
graves. The most %precocious thing
George Washington did was to lay low
the historic cherry tree. and this is
more than duplicated each day by boys
who ~hever rise to dizzier pinnacles
than school directors.
Too often the boy who stood at the
head Of the spelling class comes when
he is forty years old to the boy who
stood next to fine end for a job. Con-
gress has within its halls today men
who didn't learn to read until twelve
years Of age. Life is not asdash and
sprint. with the prize to the child who
gets away from the starting line first,
but Is a day In day out Marathon, with
the laurel to the one who keeps plug
glng along. More life meets are won
by plugging than by sprinting.
So let the mother of the ordinary
child up and clear her looks. Do not
envy the p~recocious child of your
neighbor. Rest secur In the knowl-
edge that the %precocious child across
the street may be only a morning
glory to dazzle for an hour, while your
own child, with it's glories yet unre-
yealed. may be a lily Of the valley to
gladden. hearts for many days.

Deep Seas Are More Saline Than Those
That Are Shallow.
The density of sea water depends
upon the quantity of saline matter II
contains. The proportion is generally
about 3 or 4 per cent, though it varies
In different places. The ocean con-
tains more salt in the southern than
In the northern hemisphere, and the
Atlantic contains more than the Pa
cifc. The greatest proportion of salt
In the Pacific is in the parallels of ~
degrees north latitude and IT degrees
south latitude. Near the equator 1t is
less, and in the polar seas 1t is least,
from the melting of the ice.
The sadness varies with the seasons
in these regions, and the fresh water,
being lighter. is uppermost. Rain
makes the surface Of the sea fresher
than the interior parts, and the influx
of rivers renders the e less salt
at their estuaries.
Deep seas are more saline than those
that are shallow, and inland seas COM
%municating with the main are less salt,
from the rivers that flow into them.
To this, however, the Mediterranean
is an exception, owing to great evap-
grafton and the influx of salt currents
from the Black sea and the Atlantic.
The water in the strait of Gibraltar
at the depth of go fathoms is four
times as salt as that at the surface

The valas of LAUGHTER,

A famous doctor one said: "Encour-
age your child to be merry and to
laugh aloud. A good, hearty laugh
expands the chest and makes the blood
bound merrily along. Commend me to
a good laugh-not to a little, smuggling
hugh. but to one that will sound right
through the house, 1t viii not only do
your child good. but will be a benefit
to all who near and be an important
means Of driving the blues away from

Franklin Murphy, chairman of the

the republican congress which has

MI. Murphy says little about the
