0osths's Birthday.

An amusing story, taken from Bode'a
book on Goethe. appears in . Paris
contemporary. In August. 1918, doe-
the went to Carlsbad for the cure. and
placed himself under the care OF DR..
Rehbein. Ono morning when he rose
he requested Charles. his domestic, to
place a bottle Of red wine and a glass
in each Of the two windows In the
room.
Then the poet walked round and
round the apartment, stopping at each
window to drink a glass Of wine.
When he had nearly emptied the bot
ties the doctor arrived. "Ah." said
Goethe. you are come. Do you know
It is my birthday" mo" said the
doctor, ut Is not your birthday. 1t

Only the production Of the almanac
could convince Goethe that he was a
day out in his reckoning. When he
discovered his mistake he gave vent
to a strong expression which Scott
puts in the mouth Of Capt. Manly
Ewart, and. after a long pause, turn
ing to the doctor, said: "Then I have

SEAS PERILS EVER PRESENT
Maneuvers and Sham Battles Cannot
Be Hold Without the Element
OF Danger.

1t Is the great distinction of the sea
that Its peace maneuvers are never
sham fights. To whatever branch or
grade OF the naval service a seaman
may belong, when he is on active
service he Is always face to face with
"the real thing" A mistake of any
sort, q pardonable m~iscalculation, q
momentary failure of nerve or atten-
ton, or even some small unavoidable
accident, may involve the forfeit OF
many lives. Hence the magnificent
training the sea imposes in manIi-
ness, resourcefulness and s~elf-control.
The submarine branch Of the navy
has undoubtedly risks and dangers OF
Its own, as the sad tale of previous
disasters plainly shows; and when a
catastrophe u%nhappily occurs it is OF
a nature to make a profound impress
sion upon the public. But in relation
to the number of submarines in COM
mission, and to the constant exercise
they undergo, the picked officers and
men who serve in them do not incur a
risk out Of all proportion greater than
their comrades in other branches.
Danger and risk are no peculiar
prerogative of the submarine. Daily
faced in the routine OF duty and daily
overcome, they form the very founda-
ton of naval character, and are q
pledge, in no small degree, Of the So
curlty upon which as a nation we re-
pose.

Perpetual Motion.

As the term is generally under
stood, perpetual motion Is the motion
OF an engine which, without any sup
port or power from without, cannot
only maintain its own motion forever,
but can also be applied to drive ma
chinery, and therefore do external
work. In other words it means a de-
vice for creating power or energy
without corresponding expenditure.
This is absolutely impossible, no mat
ter what physical forces De employed.
The quantity of force in existence be-
ing fixed, no new stock can be created,
and therefore, a self-moving machine
is out of the question. The modern
physical axiom, the conservation of
energy, founded On experimental bases
as certain as those which convince
us Of the truth of the laws of motion,
may be expressed in the negative
thus: Perpetual motion is impossible.

The Lucky Number.

An amusing story concerning the
Greek naval lottery appears in q Paris
Journal. It seems that tho tickets
were hawked about the Piraeus and

TEACHING VALUE OF DRESS
Mothers Should Begin Early to lnstHI
seif-Rsspseting Ideas In the
ChlId's Mind.

While It Is neither wise nor neces-
sary to dress children In expensive
clothing, It is well to create in them
4 natural pride in their appearance.
A reasonable amount Of respect for
ones self will always carry with 1t
the idea that one Is entitled to re-
spect from others. Teach your young
child that cleanliness and neatness OF
person and clothing are very eAsen-
tial at all times. and will surely bring
gratifying results, not only In regard
to general health, but also In the
treatment they expect to receive from
their friends and the strangers whom
they meet.
Bright colcrs. also, have their Of
feet upon children. Let their little
garments DO Of pretty pinks or blues.
and they instantly respond to the
| cheerful influence which these colors
are said to have over not only the
children, but grown people as well.
White, too, has a soothing effect on
the mind, and the little ones will
soon learn to take better care Of their
clothing II the mother takes care to
explain how they can help her keep
their dresses in good order by not
getting them unnecessarily soiled.
A piece Of damask buck, hemstitch-
| ed At both ends, with the baby's In
itials embroidered in the corner, viii
give much pleasure to the young
mother. These towels are used to
lay In the bottom OF "baby's" special
bureau drawer, and keep the gar
ments from getting soiled or mussed.
