KNOW WHAT YOU ARE
TALKING ABOUT"

PerhapS there is nothing quite 50
easv 70 do as 10 find fault with peo-
ME or with things or with the way
neople do things. Very often 1t is the
neople who do very little themselves
who do the most fault finding. Ana
vhy should this be? Just because
these people have a lot OF time on
their hands and have to do something.
Since they have not much Of their own
works 10 examine, they examine the
works Of others-and always find them
bad.
Now, these same people, If they took
the time fully to understand other
people's work. might not be so quick
10 say mean things, but the fact Is,
they don't take the time and therefore
the hard worked people get hard
words and unnecessary discourage
ment.
Now. we do not want TO discourage
others because we have nothing TO do
but find fault, do we?
What we must do is to encourage
others, not by entirely reserving our
judgments about things, but when we
do criticise to say intelligently and
kindly where we think we see errors
and ho,0 we think they can be rene
died. No one dislikes this kind Of
critcism-in fact, real people like it.
But-this kind of criticism, of course,
means that you know what you are
talking about. Therefore, always try
to be well informed about thing and
the circumstances around it before
venturing haphazard criticism or
opinion which will not help-but which
will destroy some one else's courage
and faith.

BROTH FOR LUNCH.

Puss Junior felt very sorry for
her, as she didn't seem cross a
bit, and the children chung to her
skirt in loving manner.
"Will you have a bowl OF
broth?" she asked. 1t is about
lunch time, and I'm going to give
the children some" He thanked
her, and said he would gladly, as
he was hungry and tired.
He sat down with the children,
who had by this time arranged
themselves i'll a row, each one
with an empty bowl in his hands.
The broth tasted very good, and
Puss Junior felt so much better
after eating it that he proposed a
game of tag. They all ran out
side and stood around in a ring
while he counted "eeny, meeny,
miney, mo" till all were out ex-
cept himself.

Why Arthur
Missed School
BY Freda Marshall.

Miss Blake started to call the roll.
When she called Arthur Merrill" and no
one answered she looked UP and was
greatly surprised to find that this boy was
not in his seat. He had never been alb
sent before, and was considered the star
OF Class 5B, so Miss Blake was surprised
to find him absent
With his books under one arm and a
pair of skates slung over his shoulder
Arthur had started out for school. When
he reached the lake, which afforded him
short cut to school when it was frozen,
he met number of boys whom he knew.
The oldest boy suggested that they have
race around the lake. Arthur protested,
as he knew he would be lats for school If
be INDUCED in this pleasure Soon, how
ever. he was persuaded to go. and before
long he was far in the lead of his friends
So bent on winning the race was he
that he plunged forward recklessly and
struck thin layer OF ice. II cracked
under him, and he fell into the freezing
water. About five minutes later. which
seemed an hour, one of the boys came
along, and, hearing Arthur's cries, ran
for a board, and with much hard work
got him out Of the water. He was wet
and shivering and had to go right home.
He felt very much ashamed and found
it hard to explain to his mother when she
asked him why he did not go TO school
He felt worse still when the doctor told
him he would have to stay in bed for
week or more. for he knew he would miss
the graduation exercises, in which he was

that in the future he would not be afraid
to say NO when asked to do something
he knew he should not do,

gleefully. What a frolic fol-

biggest boy, making believe for
some time to miss the little tots,
who screamed with fun as he
chased them in and out among
the trees.
1t was different matter, how
ever, when it came to catch Puss
Junior. AT last, with Jump. he
ran up tree and out on a limb,
from which he dangled his red
topped boots over their heads.
When every one gave up, he came
down, and after politely thanking
the Old Woman for her kindness
and letting each child kiss him
goodby, he resumed his journey
of adventures.

but as he drew nearer, he saw II

out, that he would have found it

A DIFFERENCE IN THE MARK.

To prevent a similar occurrence hap
pening at later time, the Postoffice De-
partment Immediately arranged with the
bureau to have postage stamps with
watermarks. The ~. s. p. s." in double
line letters watermark was thus adopted.
This was used until 1910, when, to pre-
vent shrinkage in the paper on which
stamps are printed, smaller ~. S. P.

The watermark in the stamp paper OF
the first issues is entirely dissimilar, and
the cause of or reason for it is not
known. 1t consists Of a row of upright
lines, extending across the stamp like

This strange watermark has been found

country, the scent and 1o-cent Of 1Si7,

Susy' S Dream

Susy was to go automobile riding with
her uncle; that is she was to go if she
didn't fall asleep. Her father had told
her that if she moved around. as she
was wont TO do, the automobile would
start. At this her cousin Bob laughed
But Susy sat as still as a little girl could
sit with boy pulling her braids and ask
ing "Are YOU homer"
She only moved once or twice. and after
a while her cousin stopped pulling her
hair and she fell asleep. Ii seemed that
all of sudden the automobile started
down the road. Susy cried out; NAM

But nobody except Bobby heard her.
and he kept saying why did you move?
Why did you move?" At last she could
hear him no more.

deavored TO issue stamps which could not
be cleaned and reused. The means to at
tain this end have been both curious and
varied. Fugitive inks, those which are
soluble in water, grllls and embossings
of several kinds, and many different
varieties of papers have been used. Over
printing with fugitive backgrounds, gela-
tinous lines and bars, cofored surface and
chalky surfaced papers, etc, have been
other means tried.
A most novel method was experimental
with by the United States in 1875, when
the Continental Bank Note Company, the
stamp printers for this government at
that time, was furnished with double"
paper to be used for the then current
stamps. The double paper consisted OF
two layers of paper, one thin and the
other somewhat thicker. Stamps printed
on this double paper were considered I'M
cleanable. After being used for postage,
the stamps could not be soaked in water
to remove from the envelope without the
two layers of paper coming apart.
THESE STAMPS ARE SCARCE.
Although many of these double paper
stamps were issued, they are very scarce.
The paper was expensive and very often
the two layers would come apart during
the "wetting down" process which has
been in use ever since the art of engRav-
ing was invented. 1t means that the
paper is moistened before being used for
recess-plate printing. But the expert
mental stamps printed on the double
paper were issued to the postofiices and
used in the general course Of business.
Thus we find several values of the 1873 10
series on this paper. The l cent ultra
