SLIGHT CHANGE IN WORDING
Wherein Wife's Letters to Husband
Differed From Those That She
Received From Him. !.

This little story was told by Con-
gressman William Fl. Murray OF Okla
homa the other evening, when the
conversation turned to the letters that
the old man writes 10 absent wiley
in the good old summer time.
Recently two women were busily
knitting scarfs and things for the sol
diers, when one OF them casually re-
ferred to a summer visit she had made
to the mountains.
THAT makes me think" was the
smiling response of the other. What
kind OF letters does your husband
write you when you are away on your
summer trips?"
"He always writes very affectionate-
ly.' answered the first, pausing to see

Novelty in Motor vehicles.

A novel motor-driven racer is the
invention of St Louis genius, who
has given the name of the "unicycle"
to the great hoop Though a couple
of small wheels, or rollers, are at
tached to the side of the queer craft,
they merely serve to steady it when
it is still, and are raised when the
device is in motion. The motive pow
er is a gas engine of the rotary type,
with three cylinders, and this drives
propeller, five feet in length, at such
speed that the wheel travels at bet
ter rate than mile a minute-74
miles an hour, to be exact. The frame
which carries the engine. propeller,
driver. and fuel supply is very in
geniously constructed with set of
rollers that revolve against the inner
side of the big wheel in this man
ner the frame remains upright while
the wheel revolves. The latter is of
aluminium and has a diameter of 81
inches. Its circumference is protect
ed by solid rubber tire.

Sc Zoe


A Sheffield firm has introduced
"Tirth's stainless steel, which 1t
claims is nonrusting. unstainable and
untarnishable. This steel is espe-
cially adapted for table cutlery, as the
original polish is maintained after
use, even when brought in contact
with the most acid foods, and 1t only
requires ordinary washing to cleanse.
II is claimed that 1t retains keen
edge much like that of the best double
shear steel, and as the properties
claimed are inherent in the steel and
are not due to any treatment, knives
can readily be sharponed on steel
or by using the ordinary cleaning ma
chine or knifeboard. 1t is expected
it will prove a great boon, especially
to large users of cutlery, such as ho-
tells. steamships, restaurants. The
price of this steel is about twenty
six cents per pound for ordinary
sizes. which is about double the price
of the usual steel for the same pur-
pose. 1t also costs more to work up,
so that the initial cost of articles
made from this new discovery, 1t is
estimated will be about double the
present cost, but it is considered that
the saving OF labor to the customer
will more than cover the total cost of
the cutlery in the first twelve months.

NO GERMS ON FIRING LINE
At Least Soldiers, Hourly Exposed to
Death, Have One Advantage
over Civilians.

Trenches are healthier than bar
racks or camps for soldiers, SO far as
infectious diseases are concerned. De-
spite the hardships, cold, exposure, ir-
regular meals, strain of nerves, and
other wholly unhygienic conditions,
infectious diseases are usually at a
minimum, on the firing line, SO says
Col. Valery Harvard of the United
States medical corps DR.. H. W. Hill
of the Minnesota Public Health asso-
citation explains this seeming paradox.
In the barracks and camps the sol-
diers have wide intercourse with each
other, and with civilians, thus picking
up whatever infectious diseases are
going about Despite regular life,
good meals, discipline and sanitation,
the infectious diseases attack them.
But in the trenches they are compara-
lively isolated, and since infected sol
diers are not allowed there, those on
the firing line have little chance to be-
come infected at all Such injuries
as cold, starvation, strain can produce
are, of course, suffered but infectious
diseases are not included in this list
Parallel cases in civil life are not un-
common, and everyone knows of fam
lilies who live like pigs, yet are never
sick, while other families living under
apparently the best conditions are
more or less constantly infected with
one epidemic disease after another
Careful investigation always shows
that the former escape, because they
do not happen to be exposed to infec-
ton.

Patience the Victor.

Impotence is a supreme modern
temptation. Hurry ~impregnates the
atmosphere. So many inventions are
in the direction of getting things
none more quickly. We are making
a demigod of speed So much of our
daily reading does not encourage sus-
tanned thinking. The vast variety Of
amusements and distractions tempt
US to escape from what is severe
But patience means ito stay IN
der the burden" 1t is a call to be
loyal to the difficult task even when
there are open doors of escape. 1t
means that the whole man should
stay in the hard place-heart, head
and body. And Christian patience
means that this should be done
cheerfully. Grim, resolute endurance
is pre-Christian stoicism, while there
is a smile, sometimes laughter. rising
out of New Testament patience.

Persistencx In PRAYER.

Every right e~ndeavor, no less than
every trustful petition, by which men
seek one or another benefit from the
Providence which they recognize as
the source of all their blessings, Is a
prayer addressed to God. BY our acts
as well as our supplications we invoke
the divine bounty. And whatever the
providential reason may be, the best
gifts are bestowed on those who per-
sistently seek them; who are not dis
couraged by one or two failures; who
work and wait with a purpose that
never f~alters, an industry that
abates, and a patience that is never
worn out, until success is achieved
Whether we seek wealth, or fame, or
social distinction, or knowledge, or
virtue, we do not usually get them in
answer to a single supplication. We
are compelled to knock many times
before the door is opened; and the
less perseverance we have, the greater
is the probability that we shall go
away with our need unsatisfed.
