 It's a terribly sad thing when the un- dertaker and the merry hearted make a matrimonial alliance, and that Is why the old Benedicts advice is good.
 Choose a woman to whom you may turn in sorrow, but also be sure she's the woman who knows how to stand in the sunshine and laugh with you, that is if you love the sunlight and the things for which 1t stands and equally true is this in the woman's case when tying herself to her life partner

 Yes that's 1t. None of us can ex plain what there is in any situation that makes it funny; it is just as that parkman said-it is the point of view; something that appeals to you that you are unable to explain. Yes: it's the point of view, and it is just as inex- plicable as the air or the clouds, the tirds and the trees, and unless the other person has eyes that get 8 thing from the same angle as yours, he must forever remain out of the picture as it appears to you.

Oriuln of the Tides.

If then there exists on the earth's
surface, under the moon, a mass OF
liquid, such as the ocean, whose par
%ticies, like those of all liquids, move
freely among one another instead OF
being fixed rigidly like those of a
solid, it is evident that this liquid
will tend to be drawn away from the
solid earth by virtue of the greater
attraction to which it is subjected.
and in this tendency lies the origin of
the tides.
But there are two tides per day,
owing to the fact that the same diff,
ferential effect Of the moons attrac-
ton is felt, in a reverse way, on the
side of the earth that is turned from
the moon. On that side the ocean wa
ter is farther from the moon, than the
center of the earth is. In consequence
the earth is drawn away from the wa.
ter, and the latter is raised into a tide
analogous to the one ON the other side.

They ALSO SERVE
BY H. NJ. EesERr.

At fifty Hilda Mainwaring was &C.
counted the prettiest woman in the
town. and her son Walter was said to
be the image of his father, by those
old enough to remember the late gen.
erai.
Augustus Mainwaring had fallen in
love with the beautiful village belle
while on a visit from England to the
United States. He had married her
and taken her to England to i've. Aft.
er his death she had returned to her
native country.
AT school Walter was twitted by
his friends with being an Englishman.
When he was twenty-one the vexed
question of nationality could be de
cided. Most people thought that that
choice would be made. next year in
favor of America, on account of pretty
Miss Agnes Latham. Village gossip
coupled together the names of the
bank presidents daughter and Walter.
IL would be an ideal match. She had
money; the Mainwarings lived decent
ly enough, they were not supposed to
be rich. and were, of course, of good
family. After leaving the high school,
to e~Veryone's surprise, instead of en-
tering college Walter accepted a posi-
ton in the bank. At that heads we're
wagging knowingly. The reason did
not seem an abstruse one.
And then, like a bombshell, came the
news that wal had broken out in Eu-
rope.
Walter M~ainwaring, reserved by
nature, had told nobody of his secret
dream n day to emulate the ex-
ploits of his father. who had won the
Victoria Cross in the Sudan for he
roism. Perhaps he had, looking at
the matter in a common sense way,
decided that the realization of his
dreams was impossible.
On the evening of the declaration
he walked home from the bank with
his mind made up. England was call
ing for soldiers; it vas said to be the
duty of every a~ble-bodied man to en-.
list. How much the more his, then,
witt his fathers record behind him?
Practical that he was, Walter

Wash chamois and Doeskin Gloves

Wash chamois and Doeskin Gloves.
The secret of success in washing
chamois and doeskin gloves lies in
using lukewarm or cool water-better
cool than eve a few degrees too
warm.
That, at least, is one of the secrets;
the other is to use soapy water. The
soapier the water, providing it is of
the right temperature. the silkier and
softer the gloves will be. They should
first be freed from all dirt in a soap
bath, and then put through another
soapy bath in order that they may be
rinsed from the dirt set free. They
should then be pressed and squeezed
in a thick towel until they are free
from soap and water as nearly as pos
si5le. Then they are ready to be
hung to dry in a cool, dry place. New
er hang them nea a fire, and never
hang them in the sunshine if you
would have them soft and pliable af-
ter laundering.

Famed as Watering Place.
Records Telephone Talk.

No more will we deny having said
certain things over the telephone, for
there is now a little listener In"
which will record every word spoken.
This instrument is called the tele-
scribe. 1t was invented by Thomas A.
Edison, who has at last succeeded in
making a telephone remember. To
operate the telescribe, the receiver of
the telephone Is inserted into a socket
of the machine and a small receiver
connected with the machine is placed
to the ear. Two small buttons are
used to stop and start the machine,
which can be done instantly, thus al
lowing no waste or the wax record.
which records the words.
The telescribe is invaluable in i'm
portant conversations as a perfect
record is in the possession of the
speaker for reference. II confirmation
of the talk is desired.

a peninsula which forms the protec-

heavily fortified, and the ancient walls
today are used as a promenade. Like
Scarborough, it is dominated by it's
parish church of st. Hilda, an ancient
building, with a heavy Norman tower
standing IN an eminence above the
sea, forming a splendid mark for Ger

is a fine borough hall in the Italian
style.
West Hartlepool is entirely modern,
and has many handsome buildings, in
