PET kVERtt0N OF THE SAILOR
Stormy Petrol ls Regarded with Dis
favor by Even the Most Stout
Hearted Searnen.

There are few persons who have
crossed the ocean that have not OBJ
served the stormy petrol skimming
along the surface Of the water. They
fit past the vessel like swallows, taxi
ing their scanty portion of food from
the waves.
Habited In black and making their
appearance generally in larger num-
bers just previous to, or during, a
storm. they have long been regarded
b the superstitious not only as fore.
boding messengers, but as agents in
some way responsible for bad
weather.
Nobody can tell where they come
from or where they breed. Sailors as
sert they hatch the egg under the wing
and rear the young on pieces of flot
sam. That mysterious origin has Civ
en- rise to an opinion prevalent among
mariners that they are in some way
connected with the supernatural agen
cies Of the air.
They are variously known a!

FINE LINEN 5000 YEARS OLD
Fruits Of tho Looms Of Ancient Times
Have Defied the Passing Of the
Centuries.

In one OF the apartments at Univer-
sity college, London, Professor Find
ers Petrie has placed on exhibition
some remarkably Interesting antiqut-
ties unearthed at Tarkhan, ,Heliopolis
and Memphis under the auspices OF
the British School OF Archaeology In
Egypt.
The great cemetery Of Tarkhan,
which occupied mile OF desert 40
miles south of Cairo and which dates
from the earliest historic age until the
race OF the pyramid builders, has
proved to be exceedingly prolific in
antiquities.
What has struck Professor Petrie II
the extraordinary preservation OF the
woodwork and clothing uncarthed from
these places Of interment of long
ago.
A great sheet of linen which IL
placed on exhibition is as fresh and
as firm as when cut from the original
length--and 1t Is some 5000 years old.
So, likewise, with the woodwork,
which, in but few Instances, shows
signs Of decay. Here are boxes that
serve their purpose as funeral caskets,
built OF planks Of acacia and shittim
wood, and as firm and secure a. when
lowered into the bosom Of the earth In

PROBLEM THAT PUZZLED HIM
Bobby Didn't Understand How he
Gould Get Candy. for Tires With

Il was a charming summer morning.
Bobby. nged five: Seth, aged four, and
Jennie, aged three. were escorting
their fatser. Doctor Jackson, on his
daily visit 10 the village postoflce.
He had promised them candy, and
they strz ggled along in great content.
Opposite. the telephone Office the
procession was suddenly brought to a
stop By the operator. who appeared
In the door and beckoned the doctor
impcratiyely.
Hey, doe! You're wanted over at
Clifton right away" he cried. Il
tried 10 get you at the house, and
YOUR wife said you were on your way

. the doctor turned about hurriedly.
but the three pleading faces made
him hesitate. He thrust his hand into
his pocket, found no pennies. So
ne selected nickel, and placed It
IN Bobby's hand.
Now. Bobby, papa must hurry,
You take this and get the candy. Get
scme for Seth and Jennie, too. you
know. And be sure to go right back
homo after You get It,"
Bobby. who had not yet learned that
there We're coins of larger value than

oat much enthusiasm, and the chill
dren preceded to the candy shop.
Here Bobby took his seat upon an
npturned box and let his chin fall
upon his breast. A telltale sob be-
trayed his state of mind to the clerk.

BRING MEMORY OF The PAST
Humanity inspired by Songs Of Bride
and Nolses Of the Cricket and
the katydid.

Country Life in America says a
carefully trained ear and mind are
indispensable to enable one TO detect
and to discriminate readily from the
general insect medley any particular
species of musician.
AS with birds and their songs, much
of the charm and pleasure to be got
ten from insect music depends on the
emotional coloring associated with 1t
We are enraptured with the notes OF
the pewee in spring, or the earliest
piping Of the frogs, not because these
sounds In themselves possess any IN.
trinsic sweetness, but because they
recall endearing memories OF many
happy, hopeful springtimes. They are
always the harbingers Of another YER
dant season. Their plaintive notes
add to our minds an emotional warmth
and sunshine. They awaken for us
an inner, subjective springtime.
In similar way the crickets and
katydids gladden. and inspire US with
their music In proportion as their
notes have become associated In our
minds with the emotional coloring OF
past memories.

TACT BETTER THAN COMMAND
Good Idea to Let LESS Criticism and
More comradeship" BE Your
Guiding Motto.

Less criticism and more cOmrade-
ship would be helpful maxim for
all homes.
1t Is easy enough to be pleasant to
the casual acquaintance, but the great
difficulty lies in being decent to- those
who are devoted to us-toe those who
are ever willing to forgive our short
comlngs. There is no duty above treat
Ing your friends courteously and try
Ing to illuminate the general monot-
ony of the lives Of those you love.
In home, life tact will succeed often
where command will fail. Sugges-
lions will so farther than argument.
Direction is so much better than die
tation. Criticism Of loved ones is
vice that takes possession Of one like
a. stimulant. or a drug, once It II en-
couraged. It may begin in our 80
called high moral standard and hatred
Of sin. But once it becomes q habit.
1t is INDUCED in for the satisfaction 1t
gives.
An Eden can be ruined by constant
fault.finding, selfishness, and with
holding the words OF praise. A para
disc can be created by small kindness

thoughts OF those about you.
The next time you feel like criticis-

something complimentary to him In
