More snelIInu Bees.

Why not have more old-fashioned
spelling bees In this day of poorly
trained spoilers? Recently. an inter-
esting bee was beld in Selma, and now
and then such affairs occur in other
parts of the country. The Brooklyn
Eagle gives bee once year. and is
now preparing for the match of 1915.
A modern criticism of the modern
young student is that he is not prof.
Client speller. There seems to be de-
feet In the modern system OF teaching
spelling, or defect with the text
books used, or else our schools regard
with painful Indifference the value Of
correct spelling and correct punctra-
tion.
Bad spelling In letter makes quite
as unpleasant impression upon the
reader of your letter as bad manners
make upon your witnesses. Spoilers
were better drilled in other years than
they are now. Students we're required
to study Websters Blue Book and
WebsteS's dictionary. They were
thoroughly drilled in the arts of pro-
nunciation; we are quite sure they en-
riched and purified their vocabulary
better than they do now.-Montgom-

LINEN WINGS PROVED BEST
Most Effective Material for Use on
AeropIanes, When II Has Been
Properly Treated.

Many different materials have been
tried for covering the wings of aero
planes, including linen, silk, cotton,
celluloid films and aluminium foil. To
the lay mind silk would seem the best
fitted for the purpose on account OF
its lightness and strength, but 1t has
been found not to withstand exposure
to sun ar rain as we'll as could be
desired, and 1t does not lend itself to
the application Of the dressing com
pounds intended to shrink cover
ing faulty over the frames, and render
the fabric proof against the weather.
As the result of experience II has
been found that 1fnen is the hest ma
terial thus far used, for, after 1t has
received several coats Of solution Of
casein-the substance generally used
for the purpose--the fabric is found
to be stretched as tightly as drum
head, making a very smooth SURFACE
which is OF great advantage in fast
flights.
The coating also increases the
strength of the linen and renders 1t
more enduring under varying weather
conditions. 1t is estimated that such
a. coating increases the strength of
the linen at least per cent.

Improper suspenders.

A surgeon lecturing to class Of
hospital nurses in an English training
school recently con;ured his hearers
to persuade their fathers. brothers
husbands or sweethearts to Wear by
gienic suspenders. 1t seems that the
customary braces, which are dual in
front but single behind, bring the
strain in the wrong place and cause
STOPPING and narrow-chestedness
These misguided suspenders are even
the regulation pattern in the British
army.
This is one Of the things they do
better In Germany. German army
braces are double at the back as well
as the front A separate strap goes
straight up and straight down over
each shoulder. bringing the strain fair
and square on the top Of the shoulder.
These are the kind that, according to
this medical authority, we all ought
to wear.

LIFE THAT is MOST USEFUL
Man Of Open Mind, With Realization
That He Has Much to Learn, Is
to Be Envled.

As rule, well-rounded lives are
many-sided. That is to say, the life
that is most useful as we'll as uplift-
ing is the life that is fullest. 1t does
not require any great degree of lni-
tiatiye and determination to confine
ourselves to the pursuit of a single
interest. provided, of course, that the
interest is satisfying Its pursuit is
natural because 1t appeals to us and
we not only take pleasure in whatever
service may be required Of us in fol-
lowing out our preferences, but such
service soQ' becomes matter Of
course sufficient to blind us to other
interests. We may become proficient
in particular way, 1t is true, but
when such proficiency is obtained
only through the sacrifice OF other op-
portunities we are narrowing our pos
sibilities to dangerous limitations
Specialization is the keynote OF today,
but only along progressive lines. and
he who surrenders all other interest
and Illuminating pursuits to the at
tainment Of single ambition pays
too large cost. The man Who goes
into the world with an open mind,
and. while possessing necessary de-.
gree of self-confidence is yet wise
enough to realize how little he really
knows and how very much there is
to be learned. is the man who, as a
rule, packs his life full with varied
interests that bring with them the
widest knowledge of men and things.

FOREIGN ORDERS MEAN MUCH
May Bring Prosperity to Town In
Which important Steel Works
Are Located.

Most OF our steel works are located
outside OF the big centers of popula-
tion. and often the town near by IL
composed entirely OF men employed
In the steel works. When times are
duh and the works are shut down this
community is very badly on; many
men do not have means Of subsistence,
and the storekeepers, although they
might be willing to advance credit to
their customers, find that they them
selves are out of funds. When the
mill is running for only three days a
week, or perhaps is shut down week
or two weeks at time. there will be
knots of men standing on the street
corners. They are not the kind that
we know too well as loafers on our
city streets; they want to work, and
when they see the manager go by Will
stop him and ask him what the pros
poets are. He knows that many OF
them have little in the house to eat.
He knows that they will not complain
or beg. A foreign order will furnish
work for these men; It will give bread
to their children perhaps little cake
as well. OF course the manager will
not acknowledge that he Is Influenced
by this, for he must play the part OF
hard-hearted master. The directors
and stockholders expect him to make
just as much profit as he can, and he
must keep in mind the main purpose
for which the plant exists. 1t was not
built to furnish bread to the hungry.
to give work to the idle. or to make
steel. These are only incidents. The.
plant was built to make money, and
that he must constantly bear in mind.
But there are times when the man
ager, although he may not acknowl-
edge it. is really bit human and does
take cognizance of the needs of his
men and the value to them Of for
eign order.-H. H. Campbell, in the
Engineering Magazine

Sermon on Refuge
& Of the Sinner


Jesus: do not stop to argue the prop
osition; but II there is one in the
world, and he will give the Bible an
honest consideration, he will come out
a Christian as sure as the sun shines
"A false refuge into which many
have entered is this: God is too merc;-
full to condemn soul at least: My
friends, God is merciful; but when you
reject the offered mercy and go down
to death, it is too late. That all men
will be saved is not taught in the
Bible. There will be no second chance.
AS you live and die here, SO shall you
be forever.
Does Christ Meet Demands?
Let us see If Christ meets the de-
mands Of the case. The first test is,
Does it satisfy an accusing con
sciences? Never did there come u
trembling, helpless sinner to Him, who
was turned away. He gives all the
dllA1OuS SOul uccuo.
The second test was. Does it afford
peace while you are in health, and
will it afford peace when you como
to die9' Every storm tossed soul which
comes to His arms for refuge, finds
that peace which the world can not
give and the world can not take away.
The storms Of adversely, sickness, dis
appointment, nothing can disturb that
peace which He gives.
"The last test is, VIII it suffice in
death and the judgment? Years ago
when | was a young preacher, went
with father to see an uncle who was
dying with tuberculosis. He realized
that the end was near. He called his
wife to his bedside and badc her fare
well. Then he gave his parting bene-
dictions to each of the five children,
gave direction to my father as to his
business affairs, then turned to me
and said, You may conduct the fun

ture must | read? He said. You may

What shall we sing?' He said, Jesus,
Lover Of My Soul Having planned
his departure as calmly as man go
ing away on a journey, he folded his
arms across his bosom and his spirit
went home to God. 0, my friends,
Jesus meets the demands Of the case"

saIIc Law.

The so-called Salic law is a collec-
tion of the popular laws of the Sahc
or Salian Franks. a confederation of
ancient Germanic tribes. These laws
are said to have been committed to
writing in the fifth century, and al
though several LatiE texts exist. con-
siderable obscurity rests over their
history. The law relates principally
to the compensation and punishment
of crimes. and there is chapter con-
tanning provisions regarding success
sion to what are called Salic lands. It
is supposed to form the basis of the
law by which females, and those who
trace their descent from the regal
house through females. are in some
countries debarred from succeedius
to the throne.

A Friend of Younger Days

Among the Christmas tokens
which our old friend Judge T.
G. Sellman Of Poverty Hill". as
he calls his ranch. received is
one which he values most highly.
1t is a letter from an old friend,
Horace H. House, of Adrian.
Michigan, whom he had not seen
nor heard from for hfty-fve
years. The writer was one of
his boyhood friends back in Put
nam township. Michigan, and
he is now IA years old. He dis
covered his old friend CLARK"
Sellman, as he calls him, by all
article in a local paper and wrote
him Christmas letter. Altho
an invalid since 1896 from wounds
received in the service of '61-'65.
and blind in one eye, he writes a
remarkable letter. Vivid and
sharp as if by the inspiration of
youth and vigor. living the old
days over, however, and recalling
the familiar scenes of boyhood
and their happy associations.
Like Mr.. Sellman he is the last
of his immediate family alive and
had not heard of the recent
death of Mr.. Sellman's brother,
who, by the way, was almost a
neigbor to him in a Michigan
town when he died.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clifford X. Rob.
bins left Monday morning for
their new home at Tabernash,
where Mr.. Robbins has purchas-
ed coy four-room cottage into
which he will take his bride. He
has been given the passenger
run from Tabernash to Steam
boat Springs, which is considered
one of the best runs on the road
for an engineer. Mr.. and Mrs.
Robbins will be greatly mis- scd

them happiness and success in
