Winter Morninu Glories.

II you wish to make your dining
room more cheerful on winter days,
put five or six morning glory seeds in
a small flower pot Zone a nice size
for the tablet and when they come up
make a small rack for them. With a
little care in watering and twining
them around the rack you soon have
pretty little plant. There will be
from one to five blossoms on it every
morning, which will look wonderfully
bright and cheerful on the breakfast
table on cold winter mornings. When
the sun is not too bright they some
times stay out all day. They seem
to stand the cold well, as they are not
easily frozen.

The Eleetromaanet in War.

The electromagnetic has long been
used by surgeons to extract splinters
from the eye. 1t has not proved so
serviceable when its use has been ex-
tended to other parts of the body. In
the present war surgeons found that
deep-lying fragments of shrapnel are
literally torn out by the magnet. with
the result that gaping wounds are
produced which are difficult to handle.
For that reason army surgeons, in Ger
many, at least, prefer to restrict the
use of the electromagnet to those
cases in which the steel splinters lie
very near the surface.-Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

A Woman Among the Glaciers.

A Woman Among the Glaciers.
A woman, Dora Keen, has dared
what no men have tried to do since
1894, plotting an expedition on gla-
cier trip from Valdez on the southern
coast OF Alaska to the Harvard gla-
cier at the head of College ford, In
Prince William sound. She was
guide for a party of three men. The
first risk was from the ice falling from
the ends OF the glacier, and after es-
Gaping death there they climbed to
the surface of the glacier 1t took
nine days to advance seven miles,
and on the ninth day they passed the
fuel line. One day it took three
hours to travel a quarter of a mile.
The party Travelled over deep Gre
vases, some open, some deeply yelled
with snow and some bridged with Slip
perry ice bridges. A fall into one Of
these chasms was likely to be fatal.
The men carried packs that weighed
so pounds, and Miss Keen's weighed
%. These packs and the ice axes that
each carried made jumping difficult.
Miss Keen says that the beauty of the
mountains repaid for the lack of com
forts.

o+bar symptoms of extreme nervousness. They
inst as truly wreck their health do the who

Almost equally erroneous is the policy pur-
sued by many of seeking amusement away from
home every evening They cannot remain con-
tentedly by their own freside a single evening,
but must rush off to dance, theatrical enter
tainment or a moving-picture show.
This sort of thing does not sap the energies as
seriously as does sexual alcoholic dissipation.
Rut it does unfit those addicted to it, giving them
a wrong outlook on life, and weakening the ca
pacity to do good work
On the other hand, to remain at home evening
after evening is itself error.
Some recreation away from home everybody
ought to have An evening at the theater every
once in a while, an evening at some social gather
ing is of value if only in the way OF bringing
variety into a persons life
And this in truth is fundamental rule TO De
observed by all who would profit from their even
ing freedom as everybody should
Whatever else you do, do not spend your even
ings in the same way evening after evening
Don't do night work habitually, don't seek your
amusement habitually away from home, don't
habitually hug the hearth.
Vary things. Work night or so IL your needs
nust More frequently occupy yourself during the
evening with some developmental study not directly
connected with your work. Occasionally get out
among friends go to amusing play etc.
Have friends in to spend an occasional evening
with YOU But don't let yourself become dependent
for amusement on friends. Cultivate inner re-
sources. -

From War to Peace.

Though the decline of munition orders contn-
ues il causes little or anxiety. American man
ufacturers who profted from the trade realized
months ago that the Allies getting and
more prepared for the production of their own
shells and guns. Plans were shaped accordingly,
so that the transition from a to a peace basis
is now hopefully under way.
Being inevitable soon or late, it is fortunate
that this readjustment has begun in time to pro-
coed gradually, without sudden serious dis
turbance Most of the plants which were converted
into munition factories can be re-adapted to other
purposes Their earnings may be less land their
scale Of wages lower but their prospects will De
more certain. The fact is products have been
comparatively a small part of our enormous ex-
port trade. The sinews oversee commerce
have been peace commodities for which the demand
will continue, especially if cultivate the neutral
markets now open to us.
That, after all, is the supremely important
aspect of our future trade interests. An authority
on trade conditions truly observes that the worst
possible setback would be failure to enter and
hold new markets while Europe is repairing the
waste of war" We can lose our munition orders
without suffering, but if we fail to foster perma-
nent trade relations shall lose unparalleled
and priceless opportunity.

WHEN the days work is done, when you have
w reached home washed up, and had your
supper just how do you spend your
evenings?
This is an important question, as you will ap-
preciate on a moments thought. The way man
spends his evenings has much to do with his health
and his success in life.
spend their evenings in such fashion to injure
their health and shatter their possibilities or sue
l do not refer particularly to those unhappy peo-
pie whose evenings spent in reckless dissipa-
ton 1t is easy enough to foretell what the future
holds in store for them.
The people have in mind are, rather, well-ln-
tentioned clean minded folk who do not dissipate
vet in one way another spend their evenings I'M
wisely.
They form a lamentaby numerous class. Con-
spcuous among them the people who insist
on resumng in the evening the work at which
they have been engaged during the day.
Or If they do not actually resume the work
itself they spend their evenings thinking about it,
wondering problems connected with it. Which. if
ANYTHING is worse than actually working night
after night.
Occasionally night work will do nobody any
harm But to take ones work home every even
ing, whether literally fguratively, Is about as
unwise a thing as anybody can do.
People who do this, grudge even the time that
every one ought to devote to the evening news
naper They are impatient to set their minds
buzzing with thoughts that they ought to have
left behind at office. store, or factory
These pre-eminently are the people who soon
