The Successful wife.

1t is becoming more or less rare to
hear of an ideally happy marriage,
and this state of things gives one fu-
riously to think" as they say In
France. 1t may be due to the fact
that, although love is easy to gain, it
requires tact and care on woman's
part to retain it.
So many girls think that, directly
the wedding ring is actually their own
they need no longer trouble them
selves TO be as charming to their hus-
bands as they were In counting time.
The girl who wants to become a
thoroughly happy wife, loving and be-
loved. must tax her strength and pa
thence to attract and please her hus-
band regardless of the worries OF
everyday life. to show q smiling face
in trouble, to be real "pal.' and to
bear and forbear. These efforts must
inevitably be crowned with success,
and the effort is wen worth WHILE

HARD WORK BRINGS SUCCESS
Few Achieve Anything Really Worth
While Without Struggle for
Its Possession.

Anything you may get without a
struggle is worth little.
Keep this in mind when you are en-
gagged in some difficult task and see
If 1t doesn't help you to stick.
Things easy to do are the things
sought by the easy-going kind of man
who never climbs to any height. Per.
haps he puts up good bluff of doing
hard work, but the deception hurts
himself the most, and sooner or later
he has to pay the piper.
Natural ability helps some folk to
gain prominence, but without hard
work 1t will not go far. 1t is not the
pupil who learns his lesson the easiest
or in the shortest time who amounts
to the most in after life. The quick
to learn often have to work the hard
est to retain 1t.
When you think of the different
members of your class in school you
know now that it is mostly the grind
who has made the great and real sue
cess, not the boy who could recite or
a minutes notice and spent the rest
of his life in mischief. The rea
smart boy" you used to know is gen
orally working under the man who
was once known as dense" or SLOW.
Stick to your job.

Peculiar Customs Of Firms.

The Finn is the most highly priced
servant in Russia, because, in con-
trast with the Russian peasant, he

Firms, the Russians say. it is never

key. The Russians and Firms dis
play the same love for getting drunk
and for going to church. The peas

ular in their pursuit Of these pleas

Common Kind Of Desert.

A fond mother was assisting her lit
tie boy the other evening in the mas
terry of his geography lesson, and COM
ing to the description of a desert,
which formed part of the lesson to
be memorized, she quoted the words
Of the textbook to the effect that 1t
was "a barren tract"
The little fellow repeated the phrase
after her, but his air of mystification
showed that he hadn't the slightest
idea Of the meaning conveyed by the
group of words, and the better to
reach his understanding, she endeay-
ored to simplify the description by de.
fining it as "a place where nothing
would grow"
The boys face frightened with the
light of awakened intelligence, and
the mother. proud and expectant, put
the question:
Now, Johnny, what is a desert?"
Prompt came the response:

Improperly Placed In Letter They Are
Apt to BE Source Of irritation
to the Recipient.

It is actually astonishing the num-
Der of persons, even those who are in
business, who do not know how prop
erly to inclose postage stamp in
letter. The stamp is inclosed to bring
an immediate reply, and the intention
OF the writer is good; but many times
the wrong way of doing the thing is
the cause of no little annoyance at
the other end of the line.
When a busy man opens a letter
and finds a stamp pasted tightly to
the sheet he may be excused If he be-
comes irritated. The letter is often
unanswered, the stamp wasted or the
partys time taken up in removing the
stamp and applying paste to hold it
on the envelope sent containing the
reply.
Here Is one way to inclose stamp:
Moisten a spot about the size of a
pea in the center of the stamp and
press 1t to blank space on the let
ter sheet. When the party addressed
removes the stamp he can lift it from
any edge. and that will cause the CEN
ter to release instantly without injury
to the bit Of paper. II one corner Is
pasted down it often tears in remov-
ing, and according to the ruling of
the department, the postage stamp is
worthless II any portion is torn or cut
away.
Another way to inclose a single
stamp, or two or three stamps, in
fact, is to cut little slit in the cor
ner Of the letter, taking pains that
this is not done where it will be fold
ed as the letter. is made ready to go
in the envelope. II the Sits are prop
erly made the stamps can be tucked
in and will remain safely in that po-
sition.
But for q large number of stamps
1t is better to put them in small en-
velope, which is Enclosed In the en-
velope containing the letter.

WAY TO lMCL0SE STAMPS GET FRESH WATER FROM SEA n
Only Source Of Supply Available TO
the Inhabitants Of island in
Persian Gulf.

Quite often one hears a foolish per-
son compared to Larabee's calf, which
it Is said swan the river to get a
drink. 1t is not always SO, however,
for there is land where people dive
deep in the ocean to get water.
Sounds funny, doesn't it?
In the Persian gulf, about twenty
miles from the Arabian coast, is a
group of islands, the largest of which
is called Bahrein. This island, which
is 20 miles in length ana 10 in width,
is low and sandy in most places, but
here ana there an oasis rich in date
palms dots the island with spots of
green. "The Mountain of the Mist"
in the center rises to the height of 400
feet. The 5000 people who live in
Manameh, its largest town, are most
ly Arabs of the fanatical Wahabi sect.
Fish and seaweed are their chief food
and the only fresh water they have to
drink is brought from springs at the
bottom of the sea The natives, with
goat-skin bags, dive to the bottom,
and holding the opening down upon
the bubbling spring, swim to the sur.
face with their bags filed with sweet
water The extensive pearl fisheries
for which the islands nave always
been famous is their one great indus.
try. The Dutch Reformed church has
long maintained a mission station
upon the island and that has been
possible because Bahrein is under Brit
ish protection.
