spot. Besides, Hawley had probably
assumed that duty, and told them to
get whatever sleep they could. How

TRAINING IN GOOD MANNERS
Begin When Boy Is Young, and Po
likeness Is Bound to Become
Second Nature.

Long before had any sons Of M
own l made up my mind that. if
ever had the training Of a boy, !
should begin, as soon as he could IN.
derstand anything, to teach him the
small things that constitute good man
ners. So many boys l have known.
and men, too. who at heart are good
and kind and really refined. yet lack
so large a part Of the little courtesies
that It is hard to believe they have
been we'll brought up. In most cases
1t is the fault Of the mother. She
feels hat it Is much more important
to form the character Of a little boy,
that his can wait till he 10
older. The result Is that n sees
boys and men who rarely forget to be
polite outside of their homes. and yet
seem to think 1t unnecessary to treat
their W mother In the same way.
My view is that there Is no need
to neglect the character because you
pay attention to the manners. l think
l have succeeded. As soon as my first
little boy wore trousers I taught him
tina he must take OF his hat as soon
as he came into the house or when q
lady spoke to him In the street. That
he must rise from his chair when !
came at the dining table. must lever
walk out of the room before a lady.
and all the other little polite ways we
like to see in men. 1t has never been
any trouble to keep him up to these
things; he learned so young that it
soon became second nature.-Harper's
Bazaar.

Milky Way Causes Glaciers.

Another suggested cause OF glaclal
periods Is that they have been due to
the shifting of the milky way, such as
Is known to have occurred. Assuming
that much of the earth's heat comes
from the stars, DR.. Rudolf Spitaler
finds that the change Of position In re-
lation to the milky way might have
given a different distribution Of tenn
perature from that existing at the
present time. The stars are not only
crowded in the region OF the milky
way, but many Of them are OF the hot

TEA WILL

There is nothing new about the
idea of using Sage for restoring the
color OF the hair. Our grandmothers
kept their hair darl-. glossy and
abundant by the use Of a simple
Sage Tea" Whenever their hair
fell out or took on a dull. faded or
streaked appearance, they made q
brew Of Sage leaves. and applied 1t
to their hair with wonderfully bene-
fetal effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to the old-time tiresome method OF
gathering the herbs and making the
tea. This Is done by skillful chem
lists better than we could do 1t our
selves; and all we have to do Is to
call for the ready-made product.

Garden w and Health.

The value Of suburban garden towns
for the housing of workmen Of large
cities has been demonstrated in the
British isles since the passage of the
housing and town planning act three
years ago. Henry Vivian, chairman
Of the cop~artnership tenants move
ment in England, has gathered inter
esting statistics as to the effect OF
country life upon the height and
weight of children. He finds that the
average child of seven years brought
up In a garden town Is three inches
taller than the average child Of the
same age living in a densely populated
city. At the age Of fourteen the diff
ference Is still more marked, the gar
den town child having the advantage
of the city child to the extert of five
inches In height and thirty POUNDS in
weight. In some of the crowded man
ufacturing towns in England the death
rate is forty for every thousand in
hubitants. but in garden towns this
has been forced down to between eight
and nine q thousand.-Leslie's.
