Beauty of Work

The beauty of work depends upon,
the way We meet it-whether we arm
ourselves each morning to attack it as
an enemy that must be vanquished be-
fore night comes. or whether we open
cur eyes with the sunrise to welcome
II as an approaching friend who will
keep us delightful company all day,
ana who will make us feel at evening
mat the day was well worth its
iatigues.-Lucy Larcom in Christian

viii XIII Germs on Pencils.

OF the $4,000 school children in this
country who are the annual victims Of
preventable disease, there is no doubt
that goodly per cent of them con.
traeted disease from the habit of suck
ing the points of pencils passed from
hand to hand.

deadly germs of preventable diseases

II is specially constructed rack
upon which pencils collected from the
children can be placed with the tips
resting In sockets where they are
acted upon by formalin gas disin.

TWO sets OF pencils should be kept on
nand. While one set is in use the
otner can be undergoing disinfecting.
Thus by changing pencils twice day
the danger of the spread of germs can
be cut In half.

TRAITS OF ANIMAL CREATION
Even the Most Famous Naturaists
Have Been Unable to Explain
Satisfactorily.

There are great many strange
facts about animals and insects that
seem to defy explanation. Here are
a few, an exchange says:
A fly will crawl to the top of a win
dow pane, fly back to the bottom and
crawl up again. Hardly ever does
it fly up and crawl down. 1t has been
known to repeat this former act over
thirty times before stopping.
Hens always scratch for food with
the sun behind them A blind hen al
ways manages to get the sun behind
her when scratching, and she will miss
but few bits of food.
Cats hardly ever lie with their feet
to the fire. In most cases they lie in
stead with their left side to it. Dogs
invariably lie with outstretched paws
to the fire.
A mouse overlooks q perfectly safe
food supply, sufficient for a meal or
two, to enjoy the perilous pleasures of
an unlimited store. 1t will hide near
the food and come out to nibble when
hungry, for it is not true that mouse
will seek its hole at the first alarm.
II small snake is kept in captivity
and fed and cared for, it will become
tame, and after few months crawl to
its captor for food, when approached.
This is true especially of the small
and harmless varieties.
The unerring ability of the homing
pigeon to find it's former abode is not
due to a sense Of location, but rather
to a natural instinct, which cats and
dogs have displayed when taken from
their homes.

my wild oats to return and my place
would be waiting for me. We shook
hands and parted without another
word, but there were tears in the
eyes of us both, and we were both
men, too.
There were several members of
that family and there are many pleas
ant things | would like to say about
them. There was Henry, the Oldest
son; then Mortimer and then Robert,
if | remember right And then there
was little Druzilla, the only daugh-

after school she would come into
the store, and if | wasn't busy would
climb in my lap, put her arms around
my neck and tell me the important
happenings of the day. One evening
she came to the store sobbing as if
her heart would break. 1t was some
time before her tears would allow
her to tell me her troubles, which
were the troubles of another which
the little miss had taken as her
own. Mr.. Brevard, one of the clerks
stood by, | remember, and heard the
story.
The Homespun Frock.
Finally she ceased to sob and told
ms all about the little Lindsey girl
who ware homespun frock, and
didn't have any cakes to eat with her
lunch at school-only corn bread and
once in while an apple The other
girls wouldn't play with the Lindsey
girl for these reasons, but mainly be-
Cause she wore a frock of homspun.
"Druzilla had divided her cakes
and her apples that day with her
poorer sister, under the tree in the
school yard. and had told the other
girls that she would die before she
would play with them if they still re-
fused to associate with the girl in
the homespun frock | comforted
the little champion as best I could
and told her to wait until Monday and
see what happened By that time the
other girls had become imbued with
the spirit of Druzilla Patton and they
all brought the little Lindsey girl
cakes and apples enough to last a
week. That Monday evening she
all the girls had played with her of
the homespun frock, and how happy
they all were. But the greatest joy
and the happiest heart was that of
Druzilla. That was more than half
a century ago and hope she is still

Montraville Patton's store that the
old subscriber speaks of stood on the
corner now occupied by Burton and

says Mayor Rankin. All of the broth
ers of Mr.. Patton are now dead, as is
Squire Blackstock that he refers to.
Time has possibly caused the old sub
scriber's memory to play him tricks,
for Mr.. Patton had two daughters,
Mary and Anna. Mary is now mar
ried, the wife of Presbyterian min
lister living at Georgetown, S. C. 1t
is the impression of some of the older
residents of Asheville that the full
name of Anna, who died about two
years ago, was "Druscilla," the
maiden name of Mr.. Pattons wife,
