A Happy Home.

What makes some homes such
places OF peace, charm, comfort
and happiness9 What makes other
homes houses of gloom, of disorder,
of quarrelS, of unhappiness?
Some Of both sorts are rich, some
are poor. 1t is not money. then,
that makes the difference in happy
homes and unhappy homes.
Some of both sorts are inhabited
by persons of education some by
persons who have had little or no
schooling. 1t is not book-learnine
therefore, that makes the difference
Some of both sorts are occupied
by persons of some standing in
society, some by the humble and
the Obscure 1t is not rank, then,
that brings felicity or misery
The first factor in the making of
a happy home. is divine grace
faith, a Christian life, the SaCra-
ments, a trained conscience. ID sense
of sin, a sense of duty.
The second factor in the making
of happy home is love Affection
shows itself in kindness, in consider

good will. Love begets love.
Then come Gle anliness. good

CURRENT THINKING
NEW HONIING BIRDS.
(The New York Tribune }

N1Ht New uIh IIlouue.J
The mysterious homing instinct,
not yet satisfactorily explained, is
strong in other birds besides the car
rier pigeon. In the Carnegie institu-
tion experiments on one of the Dry
Tortungas keys, Florida, Professor ],
b Watson and DR.. X. S. Lashley have
sought out various birds in their
nests, and after tagging them have
sent them in cages to distant places
to be released. Many of the birds
have shown surprising ability to find
their way back.
The noddy and sooty tern have re-
turned from distances up to 1000
miles, and have crossed sea and land
with equal facility, traversing re-
gions with no landmarks of any kind
ordinarily recognizable Successful
returns were made from widely sep
arated points, as Galveston, Cape
Hateras and Havana. A carefully
trained pigeon has been known to
fly home with a message over dis
tanee Of 1910 miles, but its homing
flight, even in races, is usually very
much less.

A TRAGEDY OF THE SNOW

m HE death from exposure
" of six year old Hiram
Cressey near Boise was a
sad and shocking event. 1t is
a tragedy from which a lesson
may be drawn. Take no
chances with freezing weather
when there is much snow upon
the ground. There is danger
of frost bite and of death from
freezing if the exposure be too
great or if the person affected,
like the little Boise boy, should
lack the physical vigor to get
to a place of safety in time.
King Winter is proving
treacherous this winter. He is
working hardship on people
and on livestock.
Look out for yourself and see
that he does not find you off
guard.
Give a helping hand when
you can to those less fortunate
than you. You may save some
body's life.

stand what that means. They
know that if the bill passes
this land will be gathered in
by the railroad or its secret
agents, or by some timber
syndicate or some high class
artists like S. A. D. Puter.

from them except scoffing and
ridicule for those who are
speaking up against this in

There is a relationship be-

AN INTERNATIONAL BILL
OF RIGHTS

| F, as was proposed at the
recent Pan-American con.
ference, international law
1 is to be defined and respected
by the twenty-one republics of
this hemisphere, the Declara-
ton of the Rights of Nations
adopted by the American In.
Istitute of International Law is
a foundation upon which it
should be easy to build.
There is nothing novel in
this declaration. 1t merely
asserts anew and as matters
of right the rudiments of pub
lie law, which are liberty, in
dependence, equality, Justice
and freedom from wanton ag-
gression. Accepting these
truths, the people of the three
Americas ought not to find it
difficult to restore the whole
body of international law on
this side of the earth, and sup
port it, as to themselves at
least, with more sincerity and
vigOr than Europe has ever
shown.
Official sanction of this de-
claration by the various Amer
lean republics can hardly fail
IN time to exercise a powerful
influence on the other side of
the Atlantic. Nations as well
as individuals learn by exam
pie. A year or two hence
when Europe comes to count
the cost of a war resulting from
broken laws and treaties, it
will be in a mood to accept in
struction. To qualify itself for
this tutorship of the Old World
the New should be able by that
time to show two great CONT
nents at peace in good faith
and at work upon an interna-
tional code that public opinion
would eventually compel gov
ernments to respect.-New

COACHES DITCHED ON
PITTSBURGH EXPRESS
DEFECTIVE RAIL- WAS The CAUSE---N0
ONE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

At about 1890 Friday night No. z,
known as the Pittsburgh Flyer of
the Western Maryland Railroad, en-
route from Baltimore to Pittsburg
was wrecked about a half mile east
OF York Road, Pa, and the lives Of
more than a hundred passengers en-
dangered. The entire train consist
ing of the engine, baggage, express,
sleeper, dining and two day cars were
derailed as the result of a defective
rail. Although there were no serious
injuries, yet some of the passengers
and crew received slight wounds.
The rail, it is said. was broken in
a number of places and when the cars
were thrown from the track against
the embankment the steel coaches
prevented a loss of life. The engine
remained on the tracks as we'll as the
last car. After the crew had ascer-
tanned the seriousness of the wreck
they proceeded to Hanover in the en-
gine, arriving there about 11.30 p. M,
when a new train was made up at
Hanover to take the delayed passen-
gers to their destinations. EXamina-
tion revealed the fact that about 100
feet of track was torn up by the
wreck and Saturday morning wreck
ing crews from HagerstoWn and Bal
time were summoned to clear away
the wreckage. One of the express
cars was torn from it's trucks and
hurled against the embankment. The
derailment occurred while many OF
the passengers were sleeping.
