FIND GOODNESS IN PLEASURE
People Are Beginning 20 Understand
That 1t Is a Mistake TO Work
Too Hard.

For a good many years we cad a
creed that the only way to sep men
or women good was to work them to
death. We didn't consider ourselves
virtuous unless we ended each day 50
toil-wearied that we had no ambition
for anything but bed. When we had
a holiday we didn't knoW how to Use
it, and either slept it away u did
something that landed us in Jail
The doctors are telling us now that
there is fatigue p2isoE; that we owe
it to ourselves not to overwork. The
great labor unions are demanding
shorter hours and graded work, SO that
men AMI women workers shall not be
overtaxed, and so that the few may
not be overworked and undcrpaid at
the expense of the many.
We are learning very, very gradu,
ally, that man was not created to labor
13 hours out Of the "a in order that
he may have the privilege of eating
and sleeping. Very, very gradually
we are being taught that we are part
ncrs in Gods pasture, and that, rich
or poor. We have the right to take cur
share Of sunshine and fresh air and an
Idle time to enjoy them.
4 fair measure Of leisure in each
day is necessary to cultivate sweet
ness and sanencss Of soul, and the
man or woman, boy or girl, so over
worked that there is nc opportunity
fer recreation, never reaches the high
er planes Of being. Indeed, too much
work has often been as much breed
er Of crime as tGo much idleness.
Sometimes it is a desperate effort
tc escape from the grind. Mere often
it is an Intelligent craving for excite
ment-"s something different
| believe it is in one Of AesCp's
fables where we are told OF the man
who was 50 busy grubbing in the muck
heap that he never had time TO look
up and see the crown above his head.

Shadow Pictures for Children.

Fer shadow pictures hang sheet
il a double doorway, if possible. Have
a lamp, or preferably a bulls-eye Ian
tern, set about two feet from the flor

stage. All kinds Of interesting and
amusing shadow pictures may BE Civ

outs, which may be pinned to hair
and costume to change the outlines
Large paper noses, pointed chins and
boards may even be fastened tC the

with paper feathers and cardboard
tomahawks, ana Puritan maids and
men with paper caps and broad
Drimmed hats, can give appropriate
historic scenes.-AIodern Priscilla.

RACE MARK IN THE FACE
Subtle Sign of CIanship That May
Have Had Its Origin Numerous
Centuries Ago.

No eloquence Of tongue, nothing that
stands written in any book, may sway
the heart as does that elusive quail
ity-the race mark in face. And this
is true less of the obvious physical as
pect than of it's thousandth secret con-
rotations. All the world knows the
Hapsburg lip, the jaw line Of the Bona
parties; the subtler marks of clanship
keep their eloquence for their own.
Conspicuously or not, each family
group stands before these symbols as
the small company of the learned
might before some inscription on a
desert ruin. Mere strokes and
scratches to you and me. To the few
who understand here is the key that
unlccks the past.
So the family look In the arch Of
an eye orbit, the curve of chin, we
read the signature of race. Chance
imprints maybe, maybe seal of some
struggle SC profound as to have set
our lips at this particular angle, Or
through dimming attentions to per
petuate a gesture born thousands
years ago in joy or in some stark
agony of body or of soul.
The family look. The first we re-
member: the last we shall forget

The King and the Peasant.

A lot of good space, time, ink and
sympathy is being wasted on old King
Peter of Serbia, in telling what sad
thing it is for him to be a king with
out a kingdom, of how he was lifted
tenderly from his horse, Of how he was
taken to Italy and is to live in a
palace in that country until the time
comes when he may return to his own
land.
And while all this is being written
the Serbian people, the peasants who
have been tramping barefooted along
frozen roads, whose homes have been
destroyed and whose loved ones have,
in many cases, been killed in battle,
are fOrgotten.-Savannah News.

syEViVALs or OLD STYLES
Interesting 10 Trace the Various Pc
RODS Denoted by the Clothes Of
English Servants.

By a large number Of interesting
surviyals, says the London Times in
its report OF Mr.. WiIired NJ. Webb s
lecture before the chronological So
ciety, dress illustrates the innate con-
servatism OF humanity.
Among these surVivals is the hat
band, the original purpose OF Whlcn
was to hold a piece Of cloth or linen
round the head. A picture exists Of
an Egyptian figure dated $500 B. G.,
the headgear of which consists OF a
piece of linen, with a band tied round
it that terminates III two tails at the
back. A survival of that is to be found
in the tails of the rrcsent-day Scot
fish bonnet and of the sailors cap.
Again, the clocks OF stockings were
originally a species CT characterization
put en- to hide the seams where the
stuff was joined together. The points
on the backs of gloves originally were
strips of braid used to cover the seams
in the gloves OF early times.
Men of fashion, when they tired Of
particular suits of clothes, have al
ways given them away to their scrV-
ants, and the practice has resulted in
some styles of servants costume IA
miliar to us in modern days. The
groom, for example, represents a gen
tle1aan CT the beginning of the nine
teenth century, and he still wears the
belt that ladies used to hold on by
when riding behind on the pillion. The
footman, with plush breaches aad pow
dered hair. is gentleman Of the time
CT George III; the sh1rilfs coachman,
with full-skirted coat and wig. is a
gentleman Of the time OF George II;
and the Lord Mayors cCachman and
suite are very fine gentlemen II the
time Of George III. In the twentieth
century we hand on cur evening
clothes to the walters who stand be-
hind us at the dinner table.

What the Duke Said.

The duke Of Wellington, of course,
never said Cup, guards, and at EN-"
at Waterloo, but is it generally known
how near he came to saying it? Sir
Herbert Maxwell, in his biography of
the duke, points out what is the prob
able origin of the pleasing legend. Late
On the afternoon Of that mem cradle
June IS the First and Second Battal-
ions of the Third Chasseurs were
foremost in the attack on Mont Saint
Jean. They had reached a crossroad,
unaware that the British troops were
lying behind the wayside banks, ac-
cording to orders, to remain prone
when under fire, hut not. actually en-
gagged. Then, at the proper moment,
Wellington's voice was heard, clear

URGE KINDNESS TO ANIMALS
Many Reasons Have Been Advanced
as to Why Cruelty Should
Be Avoided.

Here are some Of the reasons why
we should dc all we possibly can to
protect animals, says all exchange,
l. They are, humanity Speaking,
dumb and defcnseless.
2. They are especially liable to
cruel treatment.
>. They are the victims Of science,
sport, fashion, Ignorance and preju-
dice.
4. There is so much suffering in
this world that we ought 10 Do Gerry
thing we can to lessen, c:.l net to in
crease il.
5. 1t is cowarGiy and contcnatible
to cause a living, scrticrt crG%ture IN
necessary or aEoidab!e suffering.
6. The animals do 50 much tor us
in SO many ways, miliStcring 70 cur
needs, that they earn exemption Tor
their various races from cruelty, SUI
fering and i'll treatment.
7. Selfish and callous disregard of
their rights can only react disastrous
~ upon the neral nature OF the hn-
man family, and make ether similar
evils appear excusa5le. 1t is q short
step frcm cruelty to animals l. ccu-
city to human beings. The parents
who train their children to be kind,
considerate and thoughtful fer the ami
mails are laying up treasures which
they themselves will reap when those
children are grown up.

of the women of America is that we

ing of the Women's International Mis-
sionary union recently in describing
how American women make the

Saltwater Cataracts.

There are a good many saltwater
cataracts il existence. They may be
found in Norway, southern Chile
and British Columbia, where narrow
tiords, or arms of the sea, are OBJ
structed by barriers of rock. The ris-
ing tide flows over and filters through
such reefs into the great natural res
ervoirs beyond, but the water is held
back at the ebb until it breaks over
the obstruction in an irresistible tor
rent. Most curious of all is the wa
terfall at Canoe Passage, where the
island of Vancouver approaches the
British Columbia mainland. Here the
flood tide from the Gulf of Georgia to
the southwark is held back at mar"
row cleft between two islands until it
pours over in boiling cascade Is feet
high, with perhaps double the volume
Of the Rhine. At the turn Of the tide,
however. the waters from the north
rush back into the gulf, producing a
cascade of equal height and volume
The waterfall actually flows Goth
ways.

Remarkable Birth Record.

What is believed to be record in
childbirth was established recently by
a Mahratta woman il Bhor state, East
India. This woman, at the age of
thirty-three, gave birth to quintuplets,
two males and three females. All
were bern alive, but it was not ex-
pected they would live, owing to the
want of nursing" The same mother
gave birth t. three children last year,
but all died within three months. A
record of bearing eight children in a
year is believed to be unequaled in
medical annals.

rosebuds and lilies of the valley. After receiv-
ing the usual congratulations, Mr.. and Mrs.
