HARDTAcK IN THE NAVY.

For some years bareback has been
pretty much cut out in the navy, al
though it makes a fine ration for
hard work and active service. Sew
eral tons have been shipped down
toward Cuba. Canned beans are
good to stick to a marines ribs and
to keep out the bullets, so a few gross
of cases of them have been rushed
on to take the place of the little old
time navy beans which have to be
cooked some hours to get them soft
and well done. Canned beans are
pretty good for marching.-New

Reports received from the commits.
sion on Sleeping Sickness working in
Rhodesia state that it has been proved
beyond doubt that the tsetse fly, known
as Glossina morsitans, as carrier of
the disease.
The commission was dispatched to
Africa in consequence of the appear
ance of the disease in regions where
Glossina palpalis (the species of tse-
tse fly, which up to that time had
alone been regarded as carrier of
sleeping sickness,) was non-existent.
The guilt of Glossina morsitans has
been proved not only under laboratory
conditions, but also in nature. Certain
animals can act as the host Of the
virus without suffering thereby,
While palpalis is to be found only
in narrow limits, morsitans is met
with throughout Africa in wide areas,
and the methods of migration and iso
lation hitherto employed will be prac
tically impossible.

LITTLE THINGS That COUNT WANTED NO MORE CHICKENS KEEPING
Embryo Pianist Tells Why She Lives

70 Teaching.

l will never forget the day my ca
reer ended. The dream of my life
was to be a great pianist, and l
awoke from it the day of my final
examinations.
/ believe what / have often heard
said-that it is the little things
which decide important steps in life
for us. 1t was, after all, a little
thing that decided me to turn farm
er. Nothing more than a big, big,
worn place in the sole of my shoe.
The day l noticed it 1 had walked
about five miles, ] suppose, visiting
my pupils. Yet all l made that day
(three of my pupils we're only taxi
ing half-hour lessons at 25 cents
lesson) was not half enough to buy
a good new pair of shoes. Brooding
over the situation, l decided that the
amount of physical energy and nerv-
Gus force that was expanding in my
work could be invested in probably
dozen other ways with better results.
1t was right then and there that
the thought popped into my mind.
1t stayed there and developed into
a fixed determination, with the re-
suit that within two months l was
settled on the farm, where / have
now lived more than for four years. f,

looking to the right and left, wav-

as he was ready to spring, pitched

ance so much as the old-fashioned
method of pushing the flesh up above
the corset.
How few women who have passed
the dangerous" age stop to think Of
this, yet is It not true? The settled
look that comes with middle age Is
enhanced by a stir-corseted figure
above the waist.
Put money into a good corset, have
1t fitted sitting down, and in adjust
ing It be sure to pull It far down
and grid It firmly rodnd the hips.
Many women find as they grow
older they must have their evening
gowns cut high. This need not be
done if care is taken to get corset

From Paris comes another hint
about youthful looks. A famous
dressmaker says that real lace ages

The Parisienne has learned to fight

women because she pays heed to de.
tails that to others seem trivial. She

HUMAN NATURE NOT so BAD
New York Newspaper Man Observes
With Pleasure the Aid Given
the Blind.

If you doubt that human nature is
kind, watch the ordinary passerby in
his attitude toward a blind man. The
office window man was riding in a
Broadway open car the other day. The
car was just barely moving, owing to
some blockade or other, and kept
about even pace with the pedestrians
who crowded the pavements in their
usual daily hustle.
The eye of the ONCE Window casu.
ally lit upon a blind man, walking
alone, with that upright tilt of the
head so common to the sightleas. He
tapped his stick necessarily before
him and moved brisl1ly until he neared
the end of each block, with its-hazard-
Gus curb. The car kept pace with
him for seven blocks, and upon every
block some one took charge of that
blind man as he came to the curb, saw
him safely over and said a pleasant
word In parting.
One young man stayed near him for
three blocks, steering him over the
crossings each time. Probably the
man with the tapping stick thought
the friendly guide was different man
for every block Or does his ear be-
come so delicately attuned to voices
that he fairly sees through hearing?
The ONCE Window man wondered ii
the smiles that so often light the
faces of the blind come from the hab-
1t Of thanking people who lend their
friendly aid so many times day2-
