TK1CR OF THE FUNNEL.
Blowing Out a Light Through II 10
Easy if You Know How.

To blow out candle, using funnel
20 blow through, seems a ridiculously
easy thing to do. But ask any friend
Of yours to try it and see what hap
pens. Ten to one he will try to blow
through the cup SO as to force his
breath through the narrow neck of the
funnel. AS this is not an easy thing
to do he will fatten mouth and nose
In his endeavors. while trying to force
his face into the small cup. Then be
will reverse the funnel and blow into
the neck. and when he does not sue
coed in eXtinguishing the light he will
blow harder and harder AMI fir aI'y
be will admit tllat he is beaten.
In blowing through the neck of the
funnel he has directed the funnel di
rectly at the light, SO that the flame i.
exactly opposite to the place where the
neck of funnel joins the cup. You. ON
taking the funnel from him, incline the
funnel so that its upper edge is on n
level with the light You blow gently.
The light is extinguished at the first
puff without any of the desperate eff
fort which your friend put forth.
It you ponder moment you will
realize why you succeeded and why
your friend failed. His breath on en-
tering the cup or funnel spread in all
directions. and the tiny current Of air
was dispersed upward and downward,
SO that, as he neatly Ieveled the center
Of the funnel at the flame, no current
Of air ever reached it.
You. on the contrary, hold the uppcr
wall of the funnel on a level with the
fame. The current of air started by |
your breath, on reaching the edge |
Of the wall, streamed onward in the
~tre~tion given 1t by the restraining
wall and on reaching the fame snuffed

DOES MODERATE DRINKING PAY,

DOES MODERATE DRINKING PAYf
Answering the argument OF the
moderate drinker that there is a GER
tain quantity of alcohol which can
be used without danger, DR.. Henry
Smith Williams. the well-known in
vestigator, says:
"Conceivably that is true, though 1t
is not proved. In any event no man
can tell you what that safe quantity
is-f safe quantity there be-in any
individual case.
But this much I predict with con-
hdence: Whatever the safe quantity
OF alcohol for you to take, you will
pnquestionably at tines exceed it. In
tolerably wide experience of men
and OF many nations, | have never
known a habitual drinker who did not
sometimes take more alcohol than
even the most liberal scientific esti-
mate could claim as harmless. There
fore. / believe you must do the same.
L am bound to believe, in the light
OF what science has revealed, if you
take alcohol habitually % that you
are tangibly threatening the physical
structures OF your stomach, your liver,
your Kidneys, your heart, your blooS
vessels, your nerves. your brain; Is.
that you are unequivocally decreasing
your capacity for work in any field, be
1t physical. intellectual or artistic;
(3) that you are in some measure
lowering the grade of your mind, dull
Ing your higher esthetic sense and
taking the finer edge off your morals;
fQ that you are distinctly lessening
Jour chances of maintaining health
and attaining longevity, and (5) that
you are entailing upon your descend
ants yet unborn bond of incalculable
misery.
Such, am bound to believe, is |
the probable cost of your moderate
In alcoholic beverages.
Part Of that cost you may pay in per-
son; the balance will be the heritage |
Of future generations AS a mere
business proposition. is your glass Of
beer, your bottle of wine, your high
ball, or your cocktail worth the
price?"

DRINK NOT STRENGTHENING.

Intoxicating liquors can supply you
with no energy, no force. They cam
not add to your strength. Alcohol,
like whip or spur applied to q horse,
draws strength from you, or rather
out of you, but 1t can give you none.
So far from helping you, beer, wine
and spirits will hinder you In what
ever work you have to do. Other
things being equal, you will have the
greatest steadiness of hand, frmness
of grasp. and clearness Of mind, by
total abstinence from every kind of
Intoxicating liquor.
This has been my own experience,
and 1t has been the experience Of
vast numbers Of men and women liv-
Ing In every country, and following
every kind Of occupation. Alcohol has
been found to reduce the strength.
and the hardest work has been best
and most easily accomplished under
total abstinencs.-Dr. Norman N.
Kerr.

THE TIN SWORD.

Once upon time, two swords hum
on the wall of real soldiers room
One was large sword and had beef
in real war. The other was little
tin sword which the real soldier played
with when he was little boy.
When he hung the big sword on the
wall after he came home from the war
he said: you are much larger than
! this little fellow beside you, but you
have never killed Indians, and he
| has"
Although he laughed when he said
it, the little tin sword felt itself of
great Importance, and it did not mind
in the least the size of the big sword
/ which was many times as large as it
was.
That night, when the house was still
and dark. and the only light in the
room was from the dying embers on
the hearth, the little sword said to the
big sword: as it true that you never
killed an indiana
Il have never killed anyone" an
swered the big sword with dignity.
What is the use of being a sword?''
asked the little one, "if you never have
killed anyone. Why, / have killed so
many Indians that l cannot remember
how many"
II have been in battles, too" con-
tinued the little sword, land cut down
the enemy, and once dog was a bear
and killed him, too"
How could dog be bear?" asked
the big sword, taking notice of the
little sword for the first time when it
was not asked direct question.
Because the little boy said it was"
replied the little sword. And once
cat was a tiger, and we went tiger
hunting, too"
How about the Indians?" asked the
big sword; were they real or play
Indians?"
Real, of course" answered the little
sword; everything was real that we
did. The Indians wore long trousers
with feathers in the side of the legs
and band of long feathers sticking
up around their heads. You should
have heard them shout and give the
war cry"
WAS there any blood shed?" asked
the big sword, beginning to under
stand what the little sword was talk
ing about better than 1t did ITSELF
What is that?" asked the little |
sword.
IF you had ever been in real battles |
you would not ask?" replied the big |
sword.
"But you have never killed anyone
and l have" said the little sword; II !
10 not see why you should say have
never been in a real battle when you
lave never done anything worth tell
ng of yourself"
There is great deal to be done In
| battle besides killing" replied the
zig sword. Il led the men who did the
lighting and 5ircc ted them. The
General held me high above his head

owing would know where to go and
What to do, and l saw the enemy fall

ing all around me. But / do not like
to talk about these things. Everything
is peaceful now, and 1 am glad there
is no red mark upon my shining
blade"
II guess II you had done such deeds
as have" said the little tin sword,
still sure that he was the hero, you
would want to tell all about them
my dear little tin sword" said the
pig sword, you do not seem to under
stand that you are not real sword at
all, but just toy sword. The Indians
you killed were little boys dressed in
Indian costumes and played at being
killed
your battles were all make-believe,
and the little boy who carried you has
grown up and is real soldier now.
But don't you mind" said the big
sword, as the tin sword began to rattle
uneasily on the wall, you were the
first sword he carried and you were
the one that taught him to honor his
country, 80 you have great deal for
which to be thankful.
I'VE will divide honors. You were
the first and I hope / am the last
sword he will ever be called upon to
carry for his country"
The little tin sword grew quiet and
the last ember on the hearth grew
black. The room was dark, all was
still. and the little tin sword was
asleep.
