Il was the first swim of the season,
and the boys were plunging and
splashlng gleefully in the water. One
youth only remained on shore, visit
fully watching his companions disport
themselves.
Tears and knuckles were in his
eyes, and an interested stranger ap-
preached and asked the cause OF the
sorrow so plainly visible.
'T-boo-want to go inl" sobbed the
boy.
Then why don't you go?" inquired
the stranger.
"Cos I'm afraid" came the reply,

THE EASY WAY.

PROFESSIONS road is never straight.
1t winds and counter-winds along the
shores Of the sea of life, crosses noun
famous obstacles, goes down deep into
the valleys of despair. and also enters
the easy-going plains of the least re-
sistance.
Since the day of creation men have
hunted for the easy way, the short
cut, the smooth, straight highway, that
they might travel the shortest path
leading to accomplishment. Some OF
them have arrived at their destina-
ton, aided by what we call luck, for
the want of a better name for 1t; but
men, as they run, win because they
have the strength and the ambition to
overcome obstacles, to leap over hand
leaps, to reach their goal, irrespective
of the barriers of the road.

That which comes to you unsought,
unstriven for, gives you neither pleas
ure nor satisfaction, for you have not
earned 1t, you have done nothing to
get it.
An earned dollar is worth more to
you than 100 dropped into your beg

When you get that which you strug-

a hard battlefield against strong and

Thousands of men struggle harder
hunting for the easy way than do
those who armor themselves for the
worlds battle, get out into the open
field, and are willing to fight for fame.

A TERROR OF THE SEAS.
This Fish Resembles Torpedo and Is
Just as DANGEROUS.

His shape resembles torpedo, and
his attack too. Fishermen and bathers
in seas where he is found regard him
as almost as deadly as the torpedo
and far more common in peaceful wa
tiers. Fishermen and fish alike are
enemy to him. and he will attack with
a ferocity surprising even the shark.
He's called the barracuda.
His body is long and round, and his
head pointed. His wide mouth bristles
with large. sharp teeth. There are
more than dozen varieties scattered
over the oceans. all of them fierce and
hungry.
Sometimes they grow to length of
six to eight feet. These giants are the
ones dreaded by the fishermen. Even
when they have him fast on the end
of hook and line he's veritable load
of dynamite and will attack and bite
and snap at the hands that are haul
ing him in.
Fishermen have to guard against
poisoned flesh in the barracuda. Some
times the big fish eats a poisonous
kind of fish. which in turn poisons its
own flesh. The barracuda's bite is re-
garded as poisonous in itself, and the
wounds caused by the giant fish's teeth
become infiamed and infected.-Phila-
delphia North American.

CONTRASTS IN ICELAND.
A Curious Land Of Fire and Ice, Of VOL
canoes and Glaciers.


Iceland is known as land Of con-
trasts." The land Of Iceland boasts in
comparatively small compass fire and
ice, volcanoes, glaciers and geysers.
There is magnificent scenery in its
desolate plateaus. 1t has more than
100 volcanoes, of which the largest is
Hecla. 800 feet high. There are thou
sands of craters in Iceland, the chief
among them being Askya, with an area
Of thirty-four square miles.
OF glaciers there are more than 40,
with aggregate areas of about 800
square miles. The largest Is Vatna.
Not far from Hecla is the so called
geyser region, where there are many
hot springs. The Great Geyser is SIX
ty feet In diameter. One geyser was
found to have water at a temperature
Of 262 degrees f., which makes 1t pos
sibly the hottest spring in the world.
One-eighth Of Iceland is glacier hid
den, and there are ice clad mountain
domes, of which the highest is Oraeta-
jokull, 6,424 feet
There are not many settlements IN
Iceland. The capital is ReykJavik,
with population Of 11,600, and after
that the two chief towns are Akureyi,
2,0S9. and Isafiord, 1859 inhabitants.
The people Of Iceland are described az

country Of Europe are SO many books

CHARM OF BIOGRAPHY.
II Leads the Reader Into Quaint and
Ce.i1htfuI Byways.

Reading biography will furnish you
with a peculiar and rare form of en-
tertainment. for besides the subject in
hand biography legitimately treats of
the foibles. tie fashions and the pc
cularities of the age with which it
deals, says Youths Companion. His
tory. although it may have its lighter
moments. is essentially sober, but BIZ
ography. although it is never merely
farcical or satirical, may touch wildly
upon the lighter phases of life and
take you. as it were, into quaint and
delightful byways, through private
parks and into remote and lovely
fields.
Indeed" wrote Boswell in his in
cannot conceive a more perfect mode
of writing any mans life than by not
only relating the most important events
of it in their order, but by interweav-
ing what he privately wrote and said
and thought, by which mankind are

as he actually advanced through the
several stages of his life"
Biography, treated in that manner,

A cent is a little thing, but in the ag-

copper. Its composition is 95 per cent
copper, 3 per cent tin and per cent
