TO KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE
Evidently Mr.. Jimso Mas to Get q
Plentiful Quantity of Fresh
Air That Night.

Mr.. Jimso was in the habit OF at
tenG.ng meetings which often de-
tanned him after the usual hour of re-
tirement. One night he was exceed
ingly late. and his wife. after fretting
herself into a temper. went to bed,
determined to give her husband a
lesson. When she had been upstairs
about ten minutes she heard a knock,
so, putting her head out of the win
dow, she inquired:
as that you, Tom?"
Eyes. Kate; come and open the
door," was the answer.
What has kept you out SO later"
asked his wife.
1--WE have been discussing the real
benefits of fresh air." answered he.

experience" and down went the win

MIGHTY W OF LOVE
Great Truth in Words Which Emer-
son Is Put on Record as
Having Spoken.

1t was Emerson who said, IAN &C
ceptance of the sentiment of love
throughout Christendom for a season,
would bring the felon and the outcast
to Jul side in tears, with the devotion
of his faculties to our service. Love
would put a new face on this weary
old world, in which we dwell as pa
gans and enemies too long. and it
would warm the heart to see how fast
the vain diplomacy of statesmen, the
impotence of armies and navies and
lines of defense, would be superseded
by this unarmed child" Alas that
the sentiment has not been accepted.
but instead the world and the indi-
vidual have been laying their plans,
and directing their action. by a calcu-
lation of chances which, of course,
can be no bigger than the human
mind that does the calculating. That
love has not been tried is proved
by the collapse of commercial ciyili-
cation, but the things of commerce
and of calculation perish, while the
sentiment of love endures, because it
is of God, and being of God, is sure
in the end to triumph.-Universalis

How Signals Arranged For Between

The captain had not been long mar

To be sure, the camp was in plain
view of the captains residence, but
then it was still a separation; and to
tighten this terrible condition it was
arranged that the bereaved husband
and wife should signal to each other
often with their handkerchiefs. 1t was
on the second day that the young wife
was seated on the porch reading. Tell
me, Jane" said she, SIS the captain

swered the maid. Then keep waving
your handkerchief. | want to finish

camp an officer from an adjoining
company stepped up to the captain.

you keep that man out there all day
waving a handkerchief" "Oh, it's
merely a bit Of ~signal-code practice for
him"

Use AsropIanes to Hunt Seals.

Difficulty experienced this past sea-
son in locating seal herds in northern
waters has caused th& owners of seal
ing ships to give seriouS-considera-
ton to employing a%eroplanes in next
years hunt. These craft of the air.
they believe al scout more cheaply
and with less waste of time than the
sealing ships themselves. Small aero
planes. designed especially for the
purpose, are looked upon as entirely
feasible. Through their use, seal
herds will be located and reported to
the vessel, which can then make for
