Fireless Cooker improved.

A decided disadvantage OF the fire.
less cooker is that it is not entirely
nreless, for the heat of a stove or
gas Jet is necessary in order to bring
the food to be cooked to the proper
temperature where the cooking pro-
cess continues after being placed in
the interior Of the cooker A new form
OF the freless cooker makes use of
the electric current for the purpose of
imparting this initial heat, and the
combination is said to represent
great convenience and economy.

Hero Medals and Thanks.

There are few that are thanked.
There are millions who deserve
thanks Higher than the stars is the
heroism of daily life, for no wish for
recompense ever furnished nor de-
based It, Brave men ask no other
thanks than the whispers of their own
souls. Grand women would blush to
reveal the heroic things they daily
do 1t Is to this deathless impulse of
doing that we may always look, that
race of heroes does not perish from
the earth

Deep hearts, sage minds, take life
as God has made It,; 1t is long trial,
an incomprehensible preparation for
an unknown destiny. This destiny,
the true one, begins for man with the
first step in the tomb IN the mean
while, love and suffer, hope and con-
template. Woe, alas, to him who
shall have loved only bodies, form, ap-
pearances! Death will deprive him OF
all. Try to love souls; you will find
them again.-Victor Hugo.

There Is no need for clocks on the
Aegean sea any day when the sun is

her only timepiece, one that does not
vary though the centuries pass. This
natural time marker is the largest sun
dial in the world. Projecting into the
blue waters Of the sea Is large prom

above the waves. As the sun swings
round, the pointed shadow Of the

are at exact distances apart and act
