the larboard watch and hangs a stow

PAGES the heaving deck and thinks OF
me, and the farther his gallant bark
speeds before the swelling breeze, the
more he thinks Of me and the more
he curses the crew. Well say it's
six months voyage. Well, by the
time that's over, he's worked all the
meanness out Of his system and he's
so sentimental that he can't look at
my picture without crying. He's just
aching for restraint and refinement
and home cooking, and when he sees
me all prettied up, standing on the
same quay, just where he left me-,
it isn't like coming In on the 4:45

Jane, drily.

For an appetizing salad mince a
couple OF green peppers, mix them
with three tablespoonfuls CT chopped
chives and serve on white lettuce
leaves with French dressing.
Shredded red cabbage and white
celery cut fine make very popular
salad. Sprinkle the top of the salad
with tablespoonful of minced onion
and dress with oil and vinegar.
When cooking catchup. jelly, etc,

Mind Reading.

A skeptic on the subject Of things
psychic attempted to account for GER
tain curious happenings by calling
them matter OF rlnd reading. He
said the, facts were uppermost in the
mind of one Of the two persons in
volVed and were transferred to the
mind OF the other, after which they
were dressed up and made to appeal
in the light Of mediumistic communi.
cation. That's all right, but why ia
mind reading any less psychic, any
less phenomenal than message from
the dead? AS look at 1t, once admit
the power of thought to the extent OF
mind reading and you admit the power
OF thought irrespective of the body,
and hence quite as much alive after
so-called death as before. No, mind
reading doesn't appeal TO me as much
of an Observation-Disclosures.

Suicide Among German Children:

Why do so many German children
commit suicits7 No one seems to
know, but there is no dispute about
the fact. Indeed, it has been said that
the majority OF suicides are those of
children, and exports seem inclined to
connect the grisly epidemic with the
educational system. That "the weak
must go to the walr' has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools, and theIundeveloped mind OF
the child seeks relief In suicide from
the Encouragement of failure. 1t
would be interesting TO know If any OF
the so-called heather countries Of the
world have ever experienced such a
horrid social phenomena as that OF
child suicide.
