A Too Common Presumption.

If "a man walks two squares
with girl twice and calls on her
once, there are some people who
start the report that the man is
in love with the girl and that she
is crazy about him. Such re-
marks often spoil an enjoyable
friendship between young people
and they get SO disguised and
annoyed by the round of talk
thai they feel compelled to drop
their relationship with each
other. A girl should not get the
idea that every man who seeks
her society is in love with her
and the man who thinks that a
girl is in love with him because
she is nice to him, is fool. The
sooner boys and girls-and the
older men and women and the
meddlers-cease talking about
Ceases" and encourage friend
ship, the happier will be the
social life of young people.

Difficult horseback Feat.

There are no better hnrscnen
in the world than the cavalry Of
ticers of the Italian army, yet
even among them there are very
few who could perform the feat
achieved by one of them. To
run an ordinary foot race is easy
enough but to run al full speed
for several hundred yards hold
ing in one hand a spoon on which
rests an egg and tu reach the
goal without dropping the egg is
feat which must be practiced
carefully long time before it
can he performed successfully,
aud as a result there are not
many who can lie sure of accom-
plishiug it whenever they try.
Great, therefore, was The sur.
prise when an Italian officer
mounted on horseback perform
ed this difficult feat. Moreover
he selected a course in which
there were two or three high
fences, and these he cleared at
full gallop without losing the
egg.

The Modern Girl.

One in intimate contact with
the modern girl is struck with
her absence of ideals. She has
the eye Of calculation, and does
not hesitate to confer her favors
wherever she may reap the great
est reward. Pleasure is the
standard 10y which she measures
her days. That has always been
youths measuring stick, but soon
er or later it cheats one, a bit
here and bit there, until at the
end one is short Of the best things
In life. The girl who possesses
Ideals is In a measure protected
from the spirit of the day. They
help to block the insidious en-.
cfoachments of pleasure, with It's
deterlorating effect upon charac
ter. 1t may whisper ever SO en-
ticingly: Do this or that, but
the girl'who has ideals will hest.
tate before following its allure
ments too far.
1t is rather difficult for the
girl whose life is starved of
pleasure to see the beauties of
the ideal. To her the restaurant
supper, with its music and light,
even with a man who falls short
of her standard of gentleman,
casts glamour. But is it worth
what she pays for it? Is any
pleasure that wounds an ideal
worth while?
If the men a girl is thrown
with do not measure up to her
ideal, it is far better not to 90
with him. But girls in these
modern days are SO greedy of
pleasure that they accept what
ever comes their way. Many
openly avow if they cannot get
what they want they will take
what they get. SO friendships
are formed that never would be
if a girl allowed her ideals tc

How Sea Birds Drink.

saws: "When | was a cabin boy
| often used to wonder, seeing
birds thousands of miles out to

ter when they were thirsty. One
day a squall answered that ques-
ton for me. 1t was hot and
glittering day in the tropics, and
in the clear sky overhead black
rain cloud appeared all of a sud-
den. Then out of empty space
over a hundred sea birds came
dartiug from every direction.
They got under the rain cloud
and waited there for about ten
minutes, circl1ng round and
round. and when the rain began
to fall they drank their fill. In
the tropics, where the great sea
birds sail thousandsof miles away
from shore, they get their drink

smell out a storm long way off

be to get under it, and they swal
