The Shadow of Science.

1t is hard to believe that a shadow
is probably the origin OF all astrono-
mical, geometrical and geographical
science. The first man who fixed his
stan perpendfcularly in the ground
and measured its shadow was the
earliest computer of time, and the
Arab of today who plants his spear in
the sand and marks where the shadow
falls is his direct descendant. It is
from the shadow of a gnomon that
the early Egyptians told the length
of the year. 1t is from the shadow of
gnomon that the inhabitants of Up
per Egypt still measure the hours of
work for water wheel. In this case

A Prime Cause of III Health

A famous physician on being asked
recently what is the chief cause of i'll
health, replied: Thinking and talk

less introspection in which so many
of the rising generation. of the nery-
Gus folk indulge is certainly wearing
them out. When they are not worry
ing as to whether they sleep too much
or too little, they are fidgeting over
the amount of food they take or the
quantity of exercise necessary for
health. In short they never give
themselves moments peace"

TAKE A LESSON FROM VENUS
Not Without Some Points OF

Miss Venus Is a lovely girl; not
one time has she muttered, against
her pale, illumined life not one word
has she uttered. Just think, she's
been without her arms for many dusty
ages, and yet she never drops the
brine or rants in hopeless RACES. She
has TO stand bunch Of gun from Art
bugs down to draymen, and yet she
never once comes back and grilIs the

brow of brutal mien starts merriIy to
panning and says her face is worse
than wood and that her hair needs
canning or that he has waitress
friend who Jerks coffee jigger could
give her many, many leagues and beat
her out on fgger, she never even
looks at him, that rank untutored sin
ner, but holds her tongue and pedes-
tai; o, Venus is winner. She's on
the job both day and night, she hears
man knock or f1atter and women not
OF classic mold get madden than a
halter. She suffers long and quietly
with calm and placid manner, in cold
no mits to reach a quilt, in heat, no
