The difficulties of teaching astrono
my even in its most elementary form,
are, perhaps, only known to those who
have attempted it. A London assist
ant school mistress stated some time
ago that she was not fully convinced
"of the inutility Of attempting to in
still into the minds of nine-year-old
girls knowledge of the more recon.
dite branches of astronomy" She
says that, according to instructions,
she explained to her class the uses
and purposes OF the zodiac. Some days
afterward she resumed the astronomy
lesson, and. in order to test the recol'
lection of the pupils, she asked, What
is the zodiac?' There aren't none
now, ma'am," replied one little girl;
Its bust up. Whats burst up?'
asked the teacher, in great surprise
'The sody 'urk, answered the girl
where they made the soda water: ant
fathers been thrown out Of work." IN
vestigation showed that q soda wate
mandatory in the neighborhoot
where the girl lived had been closec
through the bursting of a steam pipe
and the pupil had seen in this catas
trophe the collapse of the zodiac.

Advice by an energetic. efficient
business man to a tired man now 60
ing back to work after rest spell:
Take things easier and get Tore
fresh air. No worry. Do the most
important thing first and then the
next. Generally. the things you don't
do aren't worth doing. What you
think you ought to do you want to
do up to the handle and do 1t quick
and then forget 1t. Don't putter. The
way to get along. in my judgment. is
to work up to the limit for certain
limited number of hours and then stop.
A man can get further tn the long run
walking three and half miles an
hour for eight hours out OF each "a
than he can going two miles an hour
for lC hours In "a. The first way he
can keep going and improve; the last
way he will deteriorate and finall,
have to quit"

Decide to Abandon Alrship.

After council on the airship it was
decided the best means of rescue was
to launch the lifeboat. But this was
such a hazardous undertaking that
much time elapsed before the maneu-
vering was executed, as the tail OF
the airship, consisting of tanks OF gas
oline and wooden blocks, threatened
to capsiHe the lifeboat as it dropped
from the balloon into the water
This danger was at last overcome
and the operation was carried out
with success. In the operation the
trailer struck Wireless Operator Jack
Irwin and Louis Loud, the engineer
and also knocked small hole in the
side of the lifeboat.
| The crew was picked UP in latitude
35.43 north, longitude 62.1S west
where the America was abandoned
Wellman said that the airship had
been blown far out of her course, Sc
that it was inadvisable to proceed.

WISE WORDS.
A Physician OH Food.

A physician, of Portland, Oregon,
has views about food. He says
II have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick. but that we
owe 1t to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.
with such feeling as to my duty
/ take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts.
and that find there is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases OF sick
ness and convalescence.
ut is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use Of Grape.
Nuts. To persons in health there is
nothing so nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach, especially at break
fast, to start the machinery OF the hu
man system on the days work.
