Stop Before You Are Too Tired.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Margaretta futile writes fiction story
entitled THE Runaway Rest Cure"
in which physician gives a patient
the following good advice:
1t is not the brain, nor the charac-
ter that suffers first from overwork,
but the body; and it is not until after
the body has rendered up its excess
vitality-its OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the
nerves begin to pay toll. You are not
yet at that place; you are simply phys
ically tired But this tire Is danger
Gus, because 1t is the warning that the
limit Of your physical support is nearly
reached. We are coming to learn the
value Of fatigue as warning Those
who do the best work stop Just before
they are tired"

Two Crops of Lemons.

BY an interesting yet simple method
two crops of lemons are obtained in
Sicily during the year, though the
second is in every way inferior. The
abnormal fruit is known as the Yer.
delli lemon, and is marketed during
the summer months. The Verdelli
lemon, green in color, grows contem.
poraneously on the same trees with
the ordinary or yellow lemon CT com
merce, and is obtained by the follow
ing method: The lemon tree, which
flowers in April, is kept without water
from that period until July, when the
roots are heavily flooded for time
This results in a second set CT bios
SONS, from which will come the Yer,
delli lemon. The ordinary lemon crop
is picked in the months beginning
with October, but the Verdelli lemons
do not mature until the next May.

Introduced Wire Nails.

Wire nails were first made in the
United States by William Hersel of
New York, about 1851. In 1875 Father
Goebel, Catholic priest, located at
Covington, KY, coming from Germany,
where the art of making wire nails
was practiced, Goebel began the man
ufacture OF wire nails at Covington,
and in 1876, the American Wire &
Screw Nail company was established
under his leadership. At first the
nails were made by hand, but soon a
French machine was imported For
time the wire nails were made with
barks, that they might hold more Sc
curely, and the new industry grew but
slowly. In 1875 at the Centennial Elk
hibition in Philadelphia, the company
received a silver medal over French
and German competitors. This called
the attention of trade to the article,
and other firms at once took up it's
manufacture.

Construction Of Coral.

The varying and indescribable coll
ors of the corals are due to a miscege-
nation of cells, each one of which has
acquired an individual chemical con-
dition from different sea food. Just as
the ruby the sapphire, the amethyst
and other of the stony gems took their
color from their separate environ
ments, so the coral, builders of reefs
which in a year may change the
charts of the sea, are transformed into
colors such as no artist could initiate.
1t is fine for the most ordinary mind
to study these things as each step in
the infnitude of steps in the progress
of knowledge leads closer to the ORR
ginal and divine thought.

1t was o'clock of fine, clear, gold

McFarlane and started eastward, as if
for little drive. Berrie held the reins
in spite of Wayland's protestations
"These brOnchos are only about half

Therefore he submitted, we'll knowing
that she was entirely competent and
fully informed.

Berrie turned in her seat and was
about to take up the reins when Way

smiling glance. Can you drive? It's

Their descent was rapid, but 1t was
long after dark before they reached

right. 1t was poor little decaying
mining town set against the hillside,
and had but one hotel, sun warped
and sagging pine building just above
the station.

porch. But l see no choice"
"There isn't any," Berrie assured
him.

Nails First Made by Hand.

In northern Europe Britain and
America nails we're made, at first, by
forging on an anvil. The iron used
for hand nail-making was first formed
into nail-rods, which were sold in
bundles The nail-rods were prepared
either BY rolling the malleable thick.

practice of cutting plate iron into
strips by means CT rolling shears In
Colonial days the making Of nails
from these rods was a household in

Would Consider.

A sporting member of parliament,
who knew more about the race course
than the house, was once asked, out
of pure mischief, by one of his constit-
uents II he would vote for the aboli-
tion of the decalogue. In vain the
questioned one tried to solve in his
mind what the object referred to was,
as to him the decalogue might be any
thing from a regium donum grant to
a settlement in the Straits of Malacca;
but failing in this, and in order to sus-
tain his own consistency, he replied:

The BADGE Of the Submarine.


AS crown is the badge of kings and
three balls are the badge Of pawn
brokers, so the badge of a submarine
officer is a handful of cotton waste.
When the half dozen officers of a
modern submarine, clad in their black
leather waterproof suits, come aboard,
a sailor stands on the tiny gangway to
receive them, and to each he hands his
waste rolled in a neat ball. The rea-

WHY WE BURN CANDLES.

The custom of burning candles on
the Christmas tree comes from two
sources. The Romans burned candles
at the feast of Saturn as a sign of good
cheer, while the Jews burned candles
during the feast of the Dedication,
which happened to fall about the same
time as that OF Saturn in the Roman
calendar. 1t is quite possible that
for this reason there would have been
many candles burning all over Pales-
tine about the time of the birth of
Christ, and from this comes the term
Feast Of Lights" which is the name
used in the Greek church for Christ.
