Considering the general ignorance
upon the subject of choosing a life
companion, the government might do
well to establish a matrimonial bu-
reau. Lovers anxious to enter tie
state of connubial bliss would first
be examined by an eugenic board. If
they were found physically fit, they
would be labeled Certified Pure"

ency and compatibility. If this board

to the marriage, that would be the end
of it. Two broken hearts would go
sobbing back to the single life.
In time the department could take
a survey of the young people of mar
riageable age. Then the board could
start an information bureau to sug-
gest mates for bashful applicants. The
department could also publish few
volumes, to be distributed free, on
the subjects of How to Pass the Mar
riage Censor" and How to Be Hap-
py Though Married" Welded bliss
would then be reduced to an exact
science.

SPEED OF PRoJEcTlLES.
How the Velocity of Cannon Balls and
Bullets Is Measured.

How the Velocity of Cannon Balls and
Bullets Is Measured.
How fast 1oes a bullet travel? The
highest velocity ever given to a cannon
ball is 1,626 feet per second. This is
equal to d mile in little more than
three seconds, or nearly twenty miles
a minute.
A rife bullet does not travel so fast
as cannon ball, the average rate be
ing 1,2I5 feet per second. This mat
ter of speed is tested in very inter
esting way.
A long wooden shed is used, in which
a distance of exactly 100 feet has been
carefully marked off. AT each end of
this space is a stand something like a
target with a large circular opening
where the bullseye should be. Across
each opening is stretched a small cleo
trio wire. connected with Il delicate
instrument in another room.
The rife from which the firing il
done is so aimed that the bullet which
flies from ii cuts both wires. Obvious
~ the difference in time between the
cutting of the two wires marks the
speed of the bullet through that 100
feet
When the first wire is cut an electric
current is broken and rod falls. NOV
ing pointer on slide in its descent.
The breaking of the second wire acts
in the same manner on another set of
rods, slides and pointers.
The difference in the marks made by
the pointers on the slides makes it pos
sible to estimate the difference in their
time of falling. and from these calcu-
lations accurate figures as to speed are
obtained.-London Answers.

SEEKING HAPPINESS.
Little Things That Make Living a Joy
Are Not Always Appreciated.

Are Not Always Appreciated.
We are told that happiness comes by
pieces and that it is these small bits
linked together that make our lives
worth while. Some of US are not con-
tent to take our happiness by degrees
or at intervals. We want it all the
time in big pieces, and if we cannot
have it that way we think that we are
deprived of our natural rights and look
upon ourselves as injured beings.
1t is a rather singular expression of
human nature how happiness affects
the individual With some of US it
makes US friendlier toward others and
anxious that they should experience
like joys; with others it makes US too
satisfied with ourselves to think very
much of our neighbors.
Perhaps those of us who know what
the joy of living means have expert
enced both of these attitudes at diff
ferent periods of our lives and are in
position. therefore. to appreciate a
varying viewpoint. but even SO it is
only after we lose something of that
joy of living and have found out for
ourselves that there are shadows which
no amount of sunlight can disperse
that we can readily appreciate the
blessing of whatever happiness may
find its way into our lives.
The little things that count so much
in our intercourse with each other are
not always regarded as highly as they
should be. and for this reason we pass
by much that would give us joy if we
only knew how and where to find it,

Professional Pawners,

In many of the mean streets of Lon
don there are professional pawners-
women. well known to the pawnbro-
kers. who for small payments take
clothes and household goods to pawn
for their neighbors. 1t is stated that
the function of the professional pawn
er is twofold. The woman who pawns
through a recognized intermediary gets
a larger loan than she would if she did
the business herself. For the pawn
broker the professional pawner guar
antees the good faith of the owner and
will be able to exercise pressure In
case of default.-London Express.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH HISTORY

Continued from Page Fiye)
Mr.. Morris was a brilliant sermonizer
and drew large audiences. 1t was
during his stay that the beautiful old
church was renovated and greatly i'm
proved on the interior. Re-dedicatory
exercises of an elaborate nature were
held in October, 1910. In June 1911.
this scholarly man rendered his resig-
nation. For some time Mr.. Morris
had been pursuing course of study
and this work together with his pas
toral duties proved too great strain
upon him and he decided to cease the
latter. While he was in Skowhegan
the membership of the First Baptist
church was considerably increased,
through his ministering. From here
Mr.. Morris went to Brunswick to
study further at Bowdoin College, and
is pastor of Baptist church there at
the present time.
Baptist pulpit is Rev. J. G. Osborne.
He came to Skowhegan near the be-
ginning of the year 1912, and during
his stay here he has won hosts of
friends not only through his mastery
sermons, but by the genuineness of
his efforts to make the community a
better one. His labors with the pris-
oners at the Somerset County jail
have been conducted In manner
greatly approved of by the officials
and all people find in this man true
