CARRIED FIRE FROM POWDER
Bravery and Presence OF Mind Of
British Soldiers That Averted. a
Terrible Disaster.

On the taking of Siudad Rodrigo In
1872, by the British army under Well
lington, Captain William Jones of the
62nd regiment, having captured a
French officer, employed his prisoner
In pointing out quarters for his men.
The Frenchman could not speak Eng

Welshman, whom 1t was the fashion
In the regiment to term "Jack Jones"
knew no French; but dumb show
supplied the want of language. and
some of the company were lodged In
large store pointed out by the
Frenchman, who then led the way to
a church, near which Lord Wellington
and his staff were standing. But no
sooner had the guide stepped into the
building than he started back, crying,
"Sacre blue!" and ran out In the ut.
most alarm. The Welsh captain, how
ever. went on. and perceived that the
church had been used as a powder
magazine by the French: barrels
were standing round, samples of their
contents lay scattered on the pave
ment, and In the midst was a fire,
probably lighted by some Portuguese
soldiers. Captain Jones and the ser.
geant entered the church, took up the
burning embers brand by brand, bore
them safely over the scattered pow.

PUTS BLAME ON PUBLISHERS
Scholar Points Out How They Are

In "CoId Storage"

Publishers complain that people do

scholar retorts that publishers will MT

important historical work of six hun.
bred pages. 1t is printed In large type
on heavy paper. with wide margins, to
make is as bulky as possible. The
price Is S., postage extra" This Ia
considerable money; but there are
some eight hundred pablic and col
legiate libraries that feel bound to
buy any new historical work which
can claim Importance, no matter what
the price.
The publisher would rather have the
sure thing OF eight hundred copies at
SIS than take the chance OF selling sew
eral thousand copies at 81 Theoretic-
ally, hooks In the library circulate; but

TRY GIVING Joy TO OTHERS
Shedding of Sunshine VIII Be Found
/ to Have Good Effect on Those
Who Practice II.

: It was Mr.. Barrie who quantity said;
Women who bring sunshine into the
lief OF others cannot keep 1t from
themselves"
That is a recipe to learn and apply,
IL you will not try to be spreader OF
Joy for the Joy 1t gives do so from
selfish motives.
Girls may think this farfetched,
Their one thought Ia to snatch at joy
for themselves. 1t takes experience,
perhaps bitter experience, to learn
that the Joy that counts most is the
one with rebound. Like rubber
ball, the harder you throw 1t the
quicker 1t returns.
The girl who starts on Joy quest
for herself cannot say; IN be nice to
poor Maria, she has had such stupid
time," and then go about Der sunshine
shedding with patronizing airs. she
may give joy, but the chances are that
her patronage will be felt and resent
ed. The sunshine that counts glows
In the heart and must come out.
One need not go into sunshine soci.
cites to bask in the rays of Joy giving
Nor need that sunshine be for out.
siders. Sunshine shedding, like char.
ity, can profitably begin at home. 1t
Is not so exciting, perhaps, to try to
brighten the lives of mother or small
brother or sister as 1t Is to be Lady
Bountiful, but the reflex action Ia
quite as strong.
Try shedding sunshine wherever you
are. Do not let day pass without do
ing some little thing to brighten that
day for some one else, and you will
find your day more joyful.

RINGS QUEER ANTICS
EXPERIMENT THAT RAISED IN,
TEREsTiNG QUESTION.
Nobody, as Yet, Has Been Able to Ac-
count for the Strange Convolu-
tlons Of the Wedding Ring
Try for Yourself.

This Is mystery OF the wedding
ring. Can you solve it, Nobody, as
yet, has been able to account for Its
strange oonvolutions, but maybe you
will be more clever.
What makes the wedding ring
snings
Why does 1t swing one say for a
man. and quite another way for a
woman
Is 1t the difference In what wise men
call AURA" And well-known Lon
don doctor has recently demonstrated
that the aura OF the male and female
differ widely.
Wedding rings often make the people
who wear them, and even other per-
sons, behave In the most unaccounta-
Bile manner, but few of us have ever
seen a wedding ring itself indulge in
mysterious performances.
And this is not trick. Remember
that
II is a scientific experiment, illustrat-
ing the laws of physics, physiology or
psychology
This Is the way to so about IT.
r Take a silver fork and place 1t be-
fore you on a polished wooden, table.
The fork should be at right angles
from your body, with the handle near
est you.
Seat yourself at the table. Tie q
piece OF light string about fifteen
inches In length TO plain gold we'd
ding ring. After the wedding ring
has been tied to the exit enc end or
the string wrap the other end of the
string three times around the first
Joint of the first finger on the right
hand.
Hold the string in place around the
first finger with the ball OF the thumb
of the same hand Place your right
elbow on the table beside the fork,
with The forearm In vertical position.
and permit your hand to- drop at a
right angle from the wrist. This al
lows the string with the wedding ring
attached to hang directly over the
fork
The ring must be suspended about
one-quarter of an inch above the fork,
and as nearly as possible at its cen
ter.
Place your left hand fiat and palm
downward upon the table beside the
fork. Do your best to keep your hand
steedy and thus prevent the string,
with the attached wedding ring. from
swinging. In spite of your efforts. you
viii find that the wedding ring moves.
II a man is holding the string the
wedding ring will commence slowly to
sway back and forth along the fork.
II a woman holds the string, The ring
sways across the fork With some
people the movement is slight, while
with others 1t is marked, but at all
times 1t Is unmistakable.
Now here's the most curious part, II
woman is holding the string when
the movement across the fork has
once been firmly established .1et q
man place his right hand firmly upon
her left hand which rests upon the Ia
Bile. The ring will be seen slowly to
stop It's cross movement and after a
few moments the motion will he re-
versed. The ring will swing the length
of the fork.
A similar change of movement Will
occur In the event OF man holding
the string while woman places her
right hand over his left hand.
Can YOU account for this mysterious
behavior of the wedding ring?-Chi
