Family Mending.

The family mending is weekly prob.

capital of in a large western city few
years ago during period OF business de-

people OF all classes responded, and a
large number Of people were given work.
When the period of business depres-

a need with SO many people that it was
kept open, and the street cars gave the
bureau a space in the cars in which TO
ask for workers and materials to mend,
Hotels are finding this convenient place

is done in the bureaus rooms. Nothing

London, Aug. 26,-The Independent
committee for German peace, an organ
ization formed some time ago among the
extreme war advocates OF Germany, has
issued a proclamation containing their
views on the cessation OF the war.

ers are holding three kingdoms in their
hands, the proclamation states the enten-

of the German empire and to lie and abuse

Our enemies will not succeed con-

they have accomplished is TO force upon
us the realization that England is our

Anybody would know it was a haunted
house just by looking at it. The glass in
the windows was all gone and boards,
any old boards, were nailed across the
windows, and the doors were either
nailed up or broken in and hanging
crooked on one hinge. The paint was all
off and the chimneys had toppled over
and the bricks and mortar were all scat
tered down the roof and some on the
porch roof. The singles were all curled
up and there were bare patches where
they had blown off.
1T was big house, two stories and a
half, and there was a porch all across

post had rotted down SO that the porch
roof sagged almost to the floor there,

overindulgent Parents.

Overindulgent parents are responsible
for a great deal of the ingratitude and
the selishness and the vicious tempers
children develop, Many mothers have
the idea that oyerindulgence is kindness,
but the effect is often just the opposite,
A good mother Is a wise mother and she
trains her children with view to how
they can best be taught TO meet their
own problems later in life. The wise
mother knows that a child who does not
learn implicit obedience will be placed at
a great disadvantage, because no one is
tit TO command who has not first learned
to obey, and no man becomes good
leader who has not first learned TO fol-
low. The mother who realizes what is
best for her child never allows him TO
think that he can disohey her. Implicit
obedience is imperative in the training Of

The Beginning of Khaki.

With SO many armies of the world
DOMINIC khaki, it is curious to remember
the accident which gave that olive drab
material its being. For an accident il
was, pure and simple.
British troops in India formerly wore
a cotton cloth Of brownish green. II al
ways faded when put 10 the test of soap.
An English business man. discussing the
defect with some army officers, remarked
that larg fortune was waiting for the
man who could discover process for
making a cotton drill that would not
fade
One of the younger officers became
interested Together with a skillful dy-
er, he began systematic search for an
unfading olive dye; something that
would yield no shade Of color when the
cotton dye was subjected to soap or
soda. But many years did the two
spend in useless experiment.
One day at the bottom of a hundred
similar little scraps, they happened upon
one which somehow retained its color un-
der the most severe tests. The pulling
part of it was that this scrap had been
taken from a piece OF cloth that had
been subjected to the same process, yet
was faded. For long while the two at
tempted to solve the mystery-in vain.
This one little bit of cloth was the only
one which withstood all attacks.
Finally, by the merest chance, they
came upon the explanation. The dye in
which this scrap had been dipped had re-
manned for long time in a metal dish of
4 peculiar kind. The metal of the dish
lad furnished what the chemicals lacked
They made the experiment again in this
particular dish; the dye held, and the
fortune was made!
