HalIey's Comet Now Visible.

Halley's Comet can now be seen on clear
mornings at about 3 80 O'Clock in the east,
on level with the morning star and to its
left. 1t will continue to brighten until the
10Th, and will attain its brightest splendor
on the 18th. On that day for about three
hours we shall see the sun through the
head of the Genet, and the light will be
unusually bright and the heat greater.
After the 18th the comet will disappear
from the eastern and reappear in the
western sky, where it can be seen shortly
after sunset. 1t will grow fainter as it dis
appears into unknown space to reappear in
seventy five years. Venmilion Meas.

ROwDY'S TAIL.
By EDWIN A. NTR.

Rowdy is a mountain dog.
He is lacking the appendage that
usually attaches to dogs. His tail sticks
straight out from his body only about
two inches all told
1t looks as if the remainder had been
cut off when Rowdy wasn't looking in
that direction.
The fact is he was born with the
cutoff tail.
More than that. Rowdy's tail was
cut off before he was born.
Which is to say. his great-grand-
fathers and great grandmother's tails
were cut off by irreverent hands for
generations back, so that after time
the dogs of Rowdy's tribe got in the
habit of being born with two inch
tails
children's two inch tails were cut of
for several generations his lineal de-
scendants would be born into the
world taiiless.
Natures ways may be modified my
man. Nature is subject to man. who
can change the current of her opera

Use and habit do wonders.

could not fly, but by the use Of its
wings and the habit of trying. be-

So of mans use and habit.
We are told that primitive man aim

the left breast of his enemy to reach
the heart of his foe. That habit, long
continued and strengthened by use in
mans early and crude industry. made
man right handed. The left handed
man Is a lapse Of nature.
Were we to use only one leg for gen.
erations by and by babies would be
born with zone leg shorter than it
really ought to be-" And If mothers
continue to squeeze their waists some
day babies will be born in the shape
of wasps
And what is true of the body is true
of the mind. You can cut off the
imagination. like Rowdy's tail. by long
disuse of 1t. You can strengthen any
mind faculty by use or let it dwindle
by disuse and habit and pass it on
to your children's children.
Body and soul, you are responsible
to the unborn.
Which is big lesson to hang on to
