For some reason many mothers do
not give the same attention to the
manners OF their sons as to those OF
their daughters. Yet the boys train
ing Is even more important than
those Of the girl. The majority Of
young men leave their homes shortly
after they come Of age, and many
leave before that period, and they
come into contact, into intimate asso-
citation frequently, with men who have
had but little training in the NICE
ties Of life, and all too frequently
these evil communication corrupt the
good manners of the more fortunate
class. But the boy who is trained to
courtesy from his childhood can be
trusted in any environment.

Live Iona Without Food.

Carton eating birds, such as the
eagle and vulture, are able to live
long time without food, while some
species of sea birds have been known
to go without food as long as "a days.
Certain species OF birds, living on
their own fat. have been known to ex-
list for two months without morsel
Of food. From these facts naturalists
have drawn the conclusion that all the
famine-proof birds have a distinct ad-
vantage over the weaker varieties in
the race for life in the wild.

For Girls Who Lack Decision,

Every girl ought to bear in mind
that decision is one of the most impor-
tant attributes Of life, and that too
often the truth is proved Of "he who
hesitates is lost" Things should never
be done by halves; if thing is right
to do it must be done boldly and at
once, and if it be wrong, let it severe
ly alone. Remember that each day
and its actions constitute a little life,
and that our whole life is but day
repeated.

canal Notifications the most power.
ful and longest range gun In the
world. Members of the board have
been seriously considering placing
this gun in the canal defenses for
some time. Their final decision to do
so amounts to recognition by the
board that the Notifications on the
isthmus are the most important to be
maintained by the United States.
1t is understood that the Ordnance
Department will shortly begin the con-
struction of the carriage for the mon.
ster gun. 1t will be the first coast de-
Tense gun to be equipped with the
mecl1nical loader. Even the 14-inch
guns to be placed in the Philippine

as are the 12-inch and other large

The projectile fired by this monster
