Eyes to See

AS Doctor Winter turned the corner, Sy-
bill Kendall came down the library steps.
The pink of her gown matched charmingly
the pink of her cheeks, but there was dis
content in the expression of her eyes and
mouth. Doctor Winter pulled up abruptly.
81 haven't had time to pick any roses to-
day. he said. "You can't refuse to let
me ride with one" Sybil laughed, dim
pied, and climbed in beside him.
OTIS only because it was very pretty
compliment, and l wanted to encourage
you," she assured him severely. "You We
said so many unpleasant things to me you
know!''
The old doctor chuckled. Sybil was one
of his favorites; but beneath the chuckle he
was thinking of the books in the corner of
the seat, and of the mouth than been so dis
contented moment before. Suddenly he
leaned forward to wave cheerful hand to
man who was passing.
"There's hero for your he said.

said in surprise.
"Of course it was Joe Harkhess'' the
doctor snapped. "Did you think it was
Bert? I've got nothing against Bert, but
Joe has ten times his ability. When Mr..
Hardness died, some one had to hold the
family together and that was Joe. He's
educated them all and given them fair
chances. Did you ever think what it means
to fellow to give up brilliant opportunities
and Joe had em-for the sake of half a
dozen brothers and ssters?''
'N-no," Sybil faltered.
The doctors whip pointed to shabby
house with tiny garden of flowers beside
it.
"There's another" he said. II want

The Habit Of Happiness
The Cultivation Of Habit That is Worth While


For centuries mans happiness was looked
upon by many earnest, thinking people as a
condition largely beyond his control.
They seemed to think that it depended
mostly upon the temperament one happen
ed to develop and that there were other
things of so much more Importance that we
should not consider it too serious or take
precious time to cultivate it directly.
We are beginning to find, however, that
even as an economical investment it pays
immensely to make business of being
happy and being just as good to ourselves
as possible, although not in selfish way.
We could not be good to ourselves in the
higher sense by being selfish.
There is nothing better that we can do
for our children than to train them from
infancy to form habit of always being
happy, cheerful and hopeful, and of max
ing this life principle.
The habit of optimism, of facing life the
right way, will be worth infinitely more to
them than the greatest fortune they m ay
inherit without it.
Children should be given bright out
look upon life. There is nothing like a
sunny disposition, happy temperament,
and if they are inherited they may be cul-
tivated.
Keep yourself cheerful, joyous and
happy. 1t was never intended that you
should be grumbling, discordant, un-
happy mortal. You were made to be
happy, exuberant; but do not mistake in
toxicating excitement, Utilization of the
nerves, for happiness. Real happiness is
as calm as summer sea; it is deep, quiet,
serene. 1t works noiselessly, silent but
powerfully. We are most powerful when
most perfectly poised, when most serene.
Happiness is great stimulator of growth.
Nothing grows when discordant. When
we shall have learned how to conserve our
energies by getting our minds into har-
mony, even the hardest days work will not
tire us. 1t is nerve exhaustion, wasted
energy through unnatural, discordant con-
ditions. that make US jaded and tired out,
the results of friction in our machinery.
If we could keep ourselves in happy con-
dition all day, we should be fresh at hight.
1t is keeping ourselves in perfect harmony
that we become more efficient and get the
most of life.

Submarines

The submarines deadliest enemy is the
destroyer, which at its best can run forty
six miles per hour.
An automatic device prevents submarines
from descending to depth where the pres
sure of water would be dangerous.
The eye of the submarine is the peris-
cope, which is tube not much thicker
than mans arm, with rejecting prisms at
each end.
Modern submarines. can travel on the
surface about 1900 miles without rer lem
ishing fuel. The limit of continuous
underwater run is about $50 miles.-Ex.

Vast Prehistoric Seas

A prehistoric sea, or arm of the ocean,
which extended from the Gulf of Mexico
far up into New York State together with
the early animal life of this sea, is described
in an interesting manner by the United
States Geological Survey in reporting to a
correspondent on rock sample.
"The rock was formed very long ago,
many million years ago, in what geolo-
gists call the Devonian period. At that time
large part of the eastern United States
was occupied by an arm of the sea which
extended northeastward from the Gulf of
Mexico region into New York State. The
eastern shore of the sea was not far east of
the present line of the Blue Ridge and
the Highlands of New Jersey and south
eastern New York, and still farther east
lay great continent which extended an
unknown distance into the area now &C.
cupied by the North Atlantic. The north
ern shore of the sea was somewhere near
line drawn from Albany through Syracuse,
Rochester, and Buffalo. The present site
of the Catskills was thus near the northeast
end or head ofthis sea or gulf, with land
not far away on the east and north.
"The sea teemed with life, almost wholly
invertebrate animals and marine plants,
and the larger part of the life appears to
have inhabited the sea bottom. Brachio-
pods. though rare now, were very abund-
ant then, and many other forms of animals
crawled about or grew upon the sea floor.
AS the streams washed in sand and mud
from the neighboring lands the sea gradu-
ally filled up and the shells of many
brachiopods and other she'll bearing animals
were thus buried in the sand and their
forms preserved till now. By slow upward
movement of the earth's crust the sea was
drained from the region and the beds of
sand and mud that had been and hardened
into sandstone and shale, and lifted thou
sands of feet above sea level to form
new land. The Catsklll Mountains have
since been carved from this uplifted mass
of rock through the cutting of valleys by
the streams.
GAS rule none of the original material of
the shells is preserved, having been dissolv-
ed away long ago. The sand being closely
compacted about the shells, their forms
were preserved, however, as molds in the
sandstone. Some of the molds have since
been filled by calcite Calcium carbonate)
which has crystaliizad from water that
soaked through the rock, and thus casts
were formed having the same shape as the
original shells and consisting of similar
material. The fact that few, if any, whole
shells were preserved in this particular rock
shows that, after death of the animals that
they belong to, the shells were washed
about by waves and currents and more or
less broken up before being buried in the
sand. FIX.

 Disorder About Connecticut Mills PIant-Strike Not Settled.

While the strike of the employees of the Connecticut Mills was not adjust ed Thursday it became known that the great majority of the workers are willing to return to their machines. The strikers have continued their meetings and discussions of the proposals that have come to them from the mill company through their committee.
 A few pickets were near the mill property Thursday morning. when there was a little furry of excitement for very few minutes, but during the remainder of the day the mill was de- serted excepting by the office force, which remains at work.
 The strikers are amusing them selves during their layoff in various ways. Some of them have improved the opportunity to get little vacation out of town. but the great majority of the men are remaining here in the expectation that an announcement will be made at any time that the strike is settled.
