PRETTY GIRLS AND OTHERS
After ALL the Ono Who Is "Nce" Is
Apt to Be the Most Popular
With Everybody.

We all know the old joke Of the
pretty girl who is presented as saying
to the homely girl, Its too bad not to
be good-looking, isn't it," and the
homely girls response: Eyes, because
one has to be nice, and that's hard;
did you every try it?'
OF course we enjoy the reply, esDe-
cially as we know how much greater
the impression that is made by being
nice, the Milwaukee Journal observes.
The pretty girl who doesn't think this
necessary is away behind the homely
girl who has really learned to be what
we describe so satisfactorily and i'll
definitely by the word nice"
But do we ever think of this as one
of the definite accomplishments Of life
that can be acquired, not so easily per-
haps as a knowledge of algebra or his
tory, but just as surely? Every day
we meet someone, often several per-
sons, whose lives eyemplify the beauty
Of being nice. Very soon we learn
to know them and we are ready almost
without thinking to go little out of
the way to see that we do meet them.
They are not all homely girls; some
Of them are pretty, and many of them
aren't girls at all. Most of them al
ways seem to be mice" by nature.
But anyone with an atom Of justice in
his reasoning knows that at some time
and probably often, there has come
to these persons who make life bright
er the question, Does it pay" Maybe
they never really proved that it did
That doesn't matter so much, for
they have kept on with the CHEEKY
look, the pleasant greeting, the friend
illness and graciousness that are the
worlds greatest Joy bringers. And
that is enough to make them far better
remembered and far more beloved
than if they had been named the reign
ing beauties Of their day.

LATEST OF ALL THE BIRDS
Feathered "Weary Willie" Sleeps All
Day and Absolutely Refuses to
Go After Food.

LATEST of birds is the frogmouth.
He sleeps all day, and instead Of flying
about in search Of food he sits still on
limb and literally waits for the in
sects to come and feed him. He's
such a sound sleeper that you can
knock him off his perch with a club
and he'll not wake up. He inhabits
the islands of the Indian ocean and
Australia.
He's about the size of the whippoor-
will and gets his name from his wide
mouth, which also serves as his insect
trap. Too lazy to fly for his food, like
other birds, he crawls along the limb
of tree, opening his wide mouth and
swapping it shut, catching what flies
and gnats come within his range.
At night he's found perched with
his mate on the roofs of houses, on
fences or stumps. Only after the sun
goes down does he show any inclina-
tion to move about. All day he sits,
feet glued to the limb Of a gum tree,
Indifferent to rain, tropical sun or the
call of the woods.
One species of frogmouth has tufts
of hair rising from the top of his head
like ears.

THE ORIGIN OF SURNAMES
Those Most Familiar Were Taken
Originally From the Occupations
of the Holders.

Once upon time given names
were the only names in use. One was
Tom, Dick or Harry, and that was
all there was about it. Our present
surnames arose f1Sn the nicknames.
Thus Tom the Taylor became in time
Tom Taylor, and his descendants
used Taylor as the family name. The
most familiar of our surnames were
taken from the occupations Of our
forefathers, as Smiths, Bakers, Brew
ers, etc. Many men, moving to new
towns, had the name of the place
from which they had come fastened
upon them. Others took names like
Pope, King and Bishop, from playing
those parts in plays. Hogg and Ba-
con are simple. Purcell developed
from pourcel, meaning little pig. Gait
and Grice are old dialect words of
the same meaning. Tod meant fox,
Fitchie was polecat, and so the keen
student of language traces the begin
nings of our names in the old dialects.
Some of the nicknames were original
ly distinctly uncomplimentary, as See
ly for silly, Cameron for crooked nose
and Kennedy for ugly head. Grace
developed from gras or fat.-Ameri-
can Boy.

children, and no doubt has retainsd
from her own schooldays and subse'
quent reading enough book learning to
qualify as their instructress. Many
wise men and good women have profit
ably gone to school at the mother
knee in the three RS as well as in
piety. But the rule is that children
do better who face the competition OF
the schoolroom and undergo the disci.
pine of healthy rivalry with their
comrades. There is less danger OF
growing up a spoiled or a solitary
minded child.
Every boy and girl needs that part
Of schooling which comes from other
pupils, not from the teacher. There ls
evil sometimes mingled with the good,
and a careful supervision must go as
far as it can to check any pernicious
influence. But the child grows up to
a world to give and take, and must
know how to fear God and take his
own part in it. Moreover, there is
nothing like keeping the definite hours
and following the plan of impartial,
infieXible routine in the school life.
Home is a respecter of persons; the
mother is likely to be led by her affec'
tons into an overtenderness that tenn
pers the wind to her shorn lamb. The
republic Of school stands upon the
doctrine of equality in human rights.
Fair play is its reign Of law. 1t is not
disparaging the mother to say that i'll
normal pupilage the teacher who is
no relation" is the best.

His Exclamation.

The streets were crowded with idle
miners and the city authorities, taking
advantage of the fact, had a good
amount OF work done putting in sew
ers, paving streets, etc.
Mulligan, who was not above earn
ing a little extra money whenever pos
sible, had taken over a job at digging
bitches.
One morning his friend CHANGED to
pass him as he was laboring shoveling
earth.
Halo, Mulligan! What are yez

and made q long pause before an

IN Leap
Gear
!
Blu GEORGE COBB
~

Copyright. 1916, by W. G. Chapman.)
There were two predominating fea-
lures, dread and timidity, in the
thoughts and actions Of Ralph Burton
as the leap year came in and he was
made the target of organized menace
and raillery on the part Of those who
fancied they could play upon his
weaknesses.
You're a selected victim, Burton!"
declared more than one Of the little
town club of which he was member.
"Oh, he'll never escape through the
MONTH" insisted others. You'd bet
ter keep away from the trap Of So
cial functions"
Il rarely favor Them" observed Bur-
ton gravely.
And have a bodyguard," was the
further advice. Il understand that
the girls clubs laid out regular
program, with dates and victims. Not
an unmarried man in the town will
escape"
Eyes, and a well-fixed individual
like Burton will be the especial OBJ
ject Of persecution!
Ralph Burton smiled, but it was not
a natural smile. Nature had awarded
him shrinking, self-deprecating eie-
ment, and he had never battled it. At
twenty-eight he found himself a re-
served young bachelor with an Unborn
generation for all womankind, yet
bashful and retiring. If he had ever
loved, he had never been able to
summon up the courage to confess
the fact to the object of his adora-
ton.
"A confirmed woman hater," was
the snappy ultimatum Of more than

Webster's Power Over Audience.

An interesting anecdote Of Daniel
Webster is found in "Bygone Days in
Boston" in the North American Re-
view. Webster was delivering an adj
dress in Faneuil hall on the necessity
for individual exertion and unflinch-
ing patriotism to avert the dangers
that threatened the political party
whose principles he espoused, when
he perceived terrible sway OF the
packed assembly, consequent on the
rush of those endeavoring to enter,
and noted the danger that might en-
sue. The orator stopped short in the
middle Of a sentence, advanced to the
edge of the platform, extended his
arms in an authoritative attitude, and,
in a stentorian voice Of command,
cried out: Let each man stand firm"
The effect was instantaneous. Each
man stood firm; the great heaVing
mass of humanity gained its eQuilib-
rum, and, save the long breath Of re-
lief that filed the air, perfect stiffness
ensued. "That," exclaimed the great
orator, sis what we call self-govern-
mentl" so apt an illustration of the
principle he was expounding that the
vast audience responded with deafen-
ing cheers.

hfm. How was 40 Is knaw MAT M!sa
Es;,a Pet,sestes~ Was simply seeking
from him a contribution to the town
relief fund for the poor?
Then as he glided through the open
doorway of a great barn and realized
where he was, Burton flushed to the
roots Of his hair. Why! he had in
vaded the precincts of the Morton
home, and Ruth Morton was very
dear name to him, although he had
never told anyone so-no one, not
even Ruth herself, who would have
been pleased to learn the fact.
Twice he had been Ruth's escort to
q town entertainment. Then he had
been too bashful to call. Often he
had thought of her. Now he lodged
back farther into the barn. Ruth
four of her little sisters and brothers
accompanying her, were making
straight for his retreat.
why, Mr.. Burton!" exclaimed
Ruth, and she looked really pleased,
though flustered, as she came upon
hints this your long-looked-for
CALI"
"Er-why, yes" declared Burton in
stumbling tones, feeling that he was
acting like a Ounce. THAT is, I
well, I'm taking a day off and you
see, sort of putting in the time"
(Which you can do to decided ad-
vantage to u.s." chirped the sprightly
Ruth. Myself and this brood have
about ten bushels of apples to pare
and cut for evaporation. You shall
string. Will 1t please you?"
please me? 1t will be delightful"
declared Burton.
Then come, sir, you must be
aproned like the rest Of us!"
What thrill pervadcd his sensi-
tive being as Ruth tied big kitchen
apron around him! What a novelty
to be seated amid the gayly chatter
ing group, doing his share Of the
work!
Then there was a grand lunch, then

ton insisted upon his staying to tea.
and then there was moonlight, and g
feverishly delicious critical moment al
the garden gate, his own face close
closer to the charming one OF Ruth.
What ever possessed him? What
put new courage into his timid soul?
What irradiated his being as, after
hurting out all the story Of his fears
and his hopes, he found in Ruth truly
loyal sympathizer.
Love, love, love!-it drove him, bold
as a lion, to the club that evening.
His fellow members stared. There
was a new Burton revealed. He
bore his head high. There was happy
smile on his face.
Got you yet-the leap-year pi-
rates?" questioned one of the group
who had driven Burton into par
disc.
ooh, yes" answered Burton, and
there was cheer and joy in his tones.
"One of the fair ladies has. Only she
didn't ask me. Tell it to the world
that l am the happiest man it holds!
I'm going to marry"
Miss Dempster?"
mot on your life! but charming,
lovely, incompatible Ruth Morton!"

Birds Cannot Understand Glass.


It has been frequently noticed that
no wild bird can understand the prop
critics Of glass, and great numbers,
ranging in size from a pheasant to a
titmouse, are killed by flying against
the windows Of country houses.
If room possesses large mirror
rejecting the view seen through an
open window birds are particularly liza
BILE to be deceived, and especially If
frightened into, thinking that they can
fly through it.
Sparrow hawks will sometimes
chase their intended victims into
strange places. Some years ago
member of this species pursued a
small bird through the open window
Of railway carriage in motion. In
its blind determination to secure the
painting fugitive it entangled it's claws
in the meshes Of the hat rack and was
ANONYMOUSLY slain by an astonished
passenger with an umbrella.

SOME FACTS ABOUT RADIUN
Found Only in the Most Minute Guam
tities-MineraIs That Carry 1t
Easy to Determine.

Radium is a metal and is described
as having a white metallic luster. 1t
has been isolated only once or twice
and few people have seen it. RadiuHs
is ordinarily obtained from its ores in
the form of hydrous sulphate, chloride
or bromide, and it is in the form OF
these salts that it is usually sold and
used. These are all white or nearly
white substances, whose appearance
is no more remarkable than common
salt or baking powder. Radium is
found in nature in such exceedingly
small quantities that it is never visible
even when the material is examined
with microscope. Ordinarily radium
ore carries only small fraction OF a
grain to the ton OF material, and ra'
dunn will never be found in large guam
titles because it is formed by the de-
cay OF uranium, a process which is
wonderfully slow, and radium itself de-
Gays and changes to other elements so
rapidly that it is impossible for 1t to
accumulate naturally in visible masses!
Minerals that carry radium, however,
are fairly easy to determine. One OF
them, pitchblende, as generally found,
is a black mineral about as heavy as
ordinary iron, but much softer. The
principal radium mineral, carnotite,
has a bright canary yellow color, and
is generally powdery. There are other
radium-bearing minerals of less i'm
portance.

Five Kinds OF Thunderstorms

Recent study of thunderstorms has
resulted in sciences dividing them
into five distinct types. They are the
heat thunderstorms which occur in
regions of high temperature and near
ly uniform pressure; storms which
occur in the southeast quadrant of an
almost circular cyclone; storms which
occur between two anticyclones; and
those which occur on the boundary be-
tween warm and cold waves. Of these,
all but the first ar produced by the
over and undermining of winds of
different temperatures, which in some
way not yet understood, cause masses
of moist air to rise.
