Mirrors that are made of glass have
metal placed on one side Of the glass.
The light will pass through the glass,
but will not pass through the metal

bounding from surface that it cannot
penetrate, the same as a ball would
when thrown against surface that it
cannot penetrate. The light passes
through the glass Of the mirror, meets
the metal backing and then bounds
from it. This bounding of the light
from the metal surface is called re-

Hans vas at work one afternoon

SOLDIERS SECOND COURAGE.
Physician Finds 1t Comes After First
Fear Is Conquered.


An English officer who has been

courage at the British front says that

days in the trenches.
But once this instinct of terror Is
conquered there comes," says the med
zeal man, "a second courage, which.
while not despising danger, is able to
discount it. Under fire these men find
q self hitherto unsupported, an elusive
quality which for Want OF u better title
IS called manhood.
The soldier learns first to control.
then to measure his fear. He learns to
discount possibilities just as the ordi-

work in hand generally engages and
holds more and more of his attention.
Then comes Il time when he wants to

it is pleasant there, but because stay

PETTIC0ATs FOR SPRING.
The Advent Of the Circular Skirt Likely
to Make Attractive Models Popular.

to Make Attractive Models Popular.
1.-The change toward the fuller skirt
in suits and dresses will give an inn
petus to the distribution of petticoats
during the coming spring. says the
Dry Goods Economist.
The new dress skirts are sufficiently
full to fly out at the ankles, thus show
ing the p%etticoat. This will create Il
demand for more expensive models
and Il revival Of the call for exclusive
styles. The circular skirts of many of
the new dresses have IL flare finish,
brought about by the use of slightly
stiffened interlinings in the hem. This
that the spring season will show a
marked demand for taffeta petticoats,
as such garments, being made of the
sitter kind Of silk. will hold out the
dress skirt to sOme extent.
denominations of tatfeta and mes
saline or of tntfeta and satin are a
compromise for the more conservative
in case they continue to prefer the
skirts which fit closely from the waist
line to the knees.

SHORT COAT SUITS.
IT'S Settled That Women Must Wear
This Style Of Spring Garments.

This Style Of Spring Garments.
Manufacturers are practically agreed
that the s'1it oat for spring should be
short. says the Dry Goods Economist.
There will. however. be Il variety Of
suit jacket styles. both as to lines and
as to lengths. Some of the smart suits
in this market have the coat in Eton
~ef1ect-that is. reaching only to the
waist line. In others the coat extends
several inches below the waist, the
lower section being in fare effect. The
modification Of the Norfolk and the
new types of short Wnisted coats are
also very much in evidence in the
spring models.
Many clever ideas of military tend
ency are receiving consideration.
The skirts to the suits also show va
riety. but almost invariably show the
flare or ripple effect. In many in
stances yokes are employed; in others
the skirt is gathered into Il belt at the
waist line. In still others the skirt is
cut in modified circular effect.
GOred skirts. skirts having Il few
plaitS inset at the side and skirts made
tight to the knee and finished off with
Il circular t1ounce are all to be found
in practically all of the important
lines.

RELAY TEAM CARRIES NEWS.
Paper Boys at KaIamata, Greece, Use
This Means.

Imagine American boys assembling
in relay teams to deliver newspapers.
At kalamata. in Greece, this is the
method that obtains for delivering
morning newspapers.
The main square in Kalamata. where
the newspapers are sold. is a full half
mile from the railway station. Keen
rivalry exists between the carriers Of
the various papers, and from the mo-
ment the train arrives there is a great
contest to be the first to place the pa
pers on the stands at the square.
Relay teams of newsies have been
organized. and these accomplish the
delivery of papers in Il little more than
tTo minutes, each member racing with
Il bundle of papers a short distance,
and then passing his burden into the
hands of the next runner
The race is the subject of much in
terest among the toWnSpeople, who
like the spirit of the boys.

summer. They made Indian willow
beds according to directions furnished
by Ernest Thompson Seton in his

inches long and notched them at the
ends. Then they bound them together
with heavy Irvine and fastened them
to Il framework of heavier boughs.
When the work was complete two
campfire honor beads We're awarded
to each craftsman. Another Indian bed
was made on the ground Ivy arranging
