"MASON AND DIXON'S LINE"
Popular Mlsapprehenslon as to Mean
ing Of Term and Just What the
Phrase Implied.

Very incorrect is the general belief
that Mason and Dixon's line, as orig
inally laid off, divided the slave-hold-
ing states from the free states. On
the contrary, it ran for one-third of
its whole length between Maryland
and Delaware, both Of which were
slave-holding states at the time. The
line was run purely to settle a bound
airy dispute between Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Delaware.
All the same, the actual Mason and
Dixon's line was as much synonym
for trouble and dissension in it's day
as was the figure Of speech to which
In after years 1t gave rise. And the
phrase will hold bitter meaning to
some until lin that looked-for day Of
charity to all mem shall be fulfilled
DR.. John Wyeth's recent prophecy
that when the people Of the South
and the North get together they will
forget there was ever a Mason and
Dixon's line, "-Southern Womans
Magazine.

Liven up your sluggish liver! Feel
fine and cheerful; make your work a
pleasure; be vigorous and full Of am
bition. But take no nasty, danger
GUS calomel, because it makes you
sick and you may lose a days work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver,
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, breaking it up, That's
when you feel that awful nausea and
cramping.

Of the field, from the mouth Of Buffa-

Chocolate Soldiers.

The soldiers weakness for sweet
meats, to which Mr., Bernard Shaw
called attention when he wrote THE
Chocolate Soldier" has been abund-
antly confirmed during the present
war. The quantity Of sweets con-
sumed by our army in France has
been prodigious, while from Cairo
comes the news that the Australians
have absolutely eaten the place out
Of chocolate. On the troopships
which brought them, too, 1t was the
same, Thus Capt. Bean, the official
correspondent with the force, writes:
"Our canteen had FIVE times the de-
mand for sweets and soft drinks that
was expected and one-ffth the de-
mand for beer. r."-Westmins Gazetta

ALL SEEK FOR HAPPINESS
The One Thing for Which Mankind
May Be Said to Have a UnlVer'
sal Desire.

We cannot pick and choose the
happenings Of life any more than we
can select the circumstances Of our
birth and death; we are but creatures
Of a wonderful destiny directed by
the Almighty. 1t is said that many
tragedies Of life might be averted If
we took our medicine like men" and
did not put our personal happiness
above everything else. 1t is as nat
ural and to be expected to long for
happiness and to cling to it as for the
flowers to turn to the sun. Happiness
is the great lamp Of life which lights
our way through all sorts Of shad'
ows-shadows that blur the vision
and make long nights Of our days,
shadows that terrlfy by their gro
tesque shapes and threatening as
poets, and shadows that bury In their
depths much that we hold most dear
We are Jealous Of our happiness and
guard II as the most precious thing
in life and when we watch 1t 90 down
and further away from our yearning
eyes we begin to plead for 1t, and
strive for It, and fight for It. We
batter the walks OF the past In our
vain efforts to call It back before It
Is too late and spend long days and
waste precious strength in the futile
andoavor IN clutch IL back to our
hearts. And all the while, perhaps
right at our hands within easy reach,
happiness in q new guise stands ready
