Always Exertina Influence.

We are, all of US, whether young
or old, famous or obscure, people Of
influence. We cannot live day with
out affecting the world somewhat for
good or i'll, whether we will or no.
We are all part of life's forces,
whether we know it or not. Be as
humble as you like, you are still per-
son of influence. if not by your own
choosing, then often by Gods decree.
1t may be only smile or simple
kindness that you have given to a lit
tie child, but it starts agencies you
little dream of; or it may be some
seIfishness or lack of honor, some
weakness in you that sets in motion
long train OF hurtful and sad influ-
ences or circumstances. For all life
Is connected, and whether you wish 1t
or not your life affects other lives

How Snakes Move Alonn-

To watch snake or a serpent Gid
ing smoothly and silently along the
ground is 10 see one Of the most mar.
velous things in natural history. In.
deed, the wisest man who ever lived
confessed that the motion of a snake
was one of the things that he could
not understand. AS a matter of fact.
a snake walks on the ends of its
ribs-a very curious use for ribs to be
put to. These ribs are very numer-
Gus, there being one for each part of
the backbone. Each rib is also fixed
to one of the large belly scales. BY
the muscles acting on the ribs. these
scales are moved forward one after
the other, their edges catching the
ground, and the result is a rapid Gid
ing motion. We notice that the body
always moves from side TO side in a
wriggling or writing manner, never
up and down, as is sometimes shown
In pictures. 1t is the very flexible
backbone that allows of this writhing
movement, and the structure Of the
backbone also allows of its being
broken easily.

Lspsrs, island In France.

A lepers' island is to be established
in France, as the result of the sudden
discovery that more than six hundred
lepers are living in that country, cir
culating among the inhabitants. The
minister of the interior appealed TO a
special commission of the French
Academy of Medicine to advise the
best means to prevent the spread of
the disease, and among the various
measures recommended by the COM
mission is one to make one OF the
islands of the coast of France into q
lepers' colony. thus isolating them
from the rest of the world. Not all OF
the 600 lepers now known to the au-
thorities will be transferred to the
island. but a special commission will
sit on each case and decide whether
the leper shall go to the island or may
remain under treatment In the coun-
try.

that silly old rhyme true?"

to be beaten"

HOW OUR ANCESTORS LIVED
The So-CaIIed Good Old Days Had No
Advantages Over Present
Time.

For centuries the common people of
England made their home in wooden
huts of one room. When a family in
creased in numbers or wealth, an
other hut was built beside it, or, rath-
eer, a lean-to was added, and then an
other and another, as need required
Sometimes they followed straight
line: at other times they were built
out from the central hut at various
angles. The roofs of these huts were
matched. An opening was left in the
center for the smoke to escape. The
fire was always built in hollow in
the center of the room. Beds were
made of straw, often they were mere
ly shakedowns in the corner. Occa-
sionally the straw was held in a little
frame resembling the ribs of ship.
Houses built by Saxon knights were
much more pretentious. They were
big halls, like the Roman atrium, with
a lofty roof matched with slate or
wood shingles. The floor was of hard
clay. In the middle was a great fire
of dry wood. The thin, acrid smoke
from the fire escaped through an open
ing in the roof directly above the
hearth
Round the fire were long benches on
| which hearthsmen and visitors sat
when not fighting or at work. and
| talked and drank the hours through
! The tables were long boards on
trestles At night the floor was strewn
with straw, and, like the less prosper
Gus folk. host and visitors slept to
| gether.-Youth's Companion.

HAVE A "CLEAN-UP" WEEK
Mind to Help, the Task VIII Be
Found an Easy One.

City officials can do much in seeing
that street cleaners do really clean,
that garbage collectors do their task
thoroughly, and that public buildings,
squares and parks shall be an example
of neatness. But what the officials
can do will be but drop in the
bucket, compared with what should be
done. 1t is the corners that are out
of sight that need most attention, the
courts, cellars and back yards, and
over these the municipality has no
control. 1t depends, therefore, upon
the householder to do the major share
in the elimination of rubbish, the
overhauling of the things that collect
dust and filth, and the whole process
that goes to make up the real city
beautiful.
For in the last analysis the city
beautiful is made up only secondarily
of parkways and fine buildings; the
essential beauty of city is found in
its cleanliness and upon its cleanli-
ness depends its healthfulness. Dirt
of any sort means multiplication of
disease, and disease means economic
waste. Therefore cleanup week"
means business prudence and enter
prise. Health means wealth and prog
ress and all the things toward which
a wide-awake community aspires. 1t
is the patriotic duty of every citizen
to do his part, and the wiser ones will
not wait for the week, but will begin
to prepare for the cleanup without a
moments delay.

NOT so STRANGE AFTER ALL

You may think it strange that so
many people are cured of stomach
trouble by Chamberlain's Tablets.
You would not, however, if you
should give them a trial. They
strengthen and invigorat the
stomach and enable it TO perform it's
functions naturally. Mrs Rosie Rish
of Wabash, Ind, writes, Nothing
did me the least good until l began
using Chamberlain Tablets. 1t is
decidedly the best medicine for
stomach trouble I have ever used. -

Incenoiary Rabbit.

A Walla Walla man is charged with
endeavoring to annihilate a rabbit
colony with the aid of pint of kero-
sene and a lucifer match. A rabbit
was soaked in the liquid and touched
off with match Whereupon, with a
beautiful understanding of the fitness
of things, the blazing creature bur-
rowed into the nearest haystack, while
thousands of amused rabbits sat
around and watched the fun. No in

Use of Peat in Canada.

The experimental work conducted
by the Canadian government in re-
gard to the manufacture of peat
proved so successful that there are
now two private concerns producing
peat, one at Alfred, Ont, and the 9th
er at Farnham, Quebec. 1t is said
that the peat manufactured by the
Canadian government and used by
private persons is satisfactory for
CRATES and also good for cooking.

Death Toll in Mines.

From the Engineering Magazine.
There is an appalling discrepancy in
the mortality rate in the coal industry
for this country and Europe. Thus the
fatality rate in Great Britain In 1910
was 10 per 1000 employed. as COM
pared with 3.92 in this country, and
while the showing was somewhat bet
ter in 1911, our rate being 3.73, as
compared with 2.01 abroad. the differ
ence still exceeds what may be con-
sidered a reasonable limit.
Various reasons are assigned for this
unfavorable comparison with other
countries Probably the root of the
evil lies in the cosmopolitan character
and low order of intelligence of the
under workman. Other countries have
their generations of miners. while we
are forced to draw upon the inflow of
immigrants for our supply. When it
is remembered that the miner usually
works as an Independent unit, not un-
der close supervision, as is the. case
with other classes of labor, it will be
readily understood that the problem
Is even more perplexing. Other condi-
lions peculiar to our country alone are
the high pressure and more haphazard
manner of working, an absence of the
almost military discipline characteris-
tic of the European mines, particularly
those Of Germany, and the severe and
often ruinous competition in market
ing our product.
