Cultivate side Vision.

One OF The most useful gifts one can
have is a good side vision. by side Wis
ion is meant literally ability TO see IN sew
eral directions at once and 10 know what
is going on in other directions besides
that upon which the gaze may be fixed al
the moment
Just try the next time you are reading
your paper in tie Train. for instance. and
you wiIl,undersland clearly what lis meant
You can with little effort and while still
reading follow the movement OF those
sitting opposite you and even those at
your side.
With little practice the range OF your
side vision can be extended behind you
in each direction TO an angle OF forty-five
degrees, and you can see clearly every
movement that takes place on both sides
simultaneously.
Now. just think what this means.
The man in possession OF good side
vision is not an easy one to take by sur
prise. In business he finds il valuable
asset, especially when talking with more
than one person at time.
He can guard against dangers from un-
expected sources, and when crossing a
roadway he can clearly see The traffic
coming from either direction while still
looking straight ahead.

Ihe Lost Tribes.

The lost tribes"-or at least part OF
them-remain a mystery 10 this day. A
portion OF the Hebrew people-ihe tribes
OF Judah and BeniamiH-returned from
exile and became the ancestors OF the
Jewish people. The story OF their return
is recorded in the books OF Ezra and
Nehemiah.
Others, probably some OF them be-
longing to the missing tribes Of the north
ern kingdom, are believed 10 have return
ed from still remoter lands and mixed
with the Jews in Palestine again (see
Luke ii, 35), while few at least proba-
Bile mingled with the mixed population
in which the king OF Assyria colonized
Samaria and who decame the ancestors
Of the Samaritans. Many, however, re-
manned in the Assyrian empire and lived
in colonies throughout the east.
Various writers have claimed that
traces OF them had been found among the
Afghans and also among the Tanars, the
HISTORIANS and in India and Africa, but
these are rather speculative ideas than
substantial evidence. Josephus. the Jew
ish historian, wrote that the habitable
globe was scarcely corner Of the great
Roman world empire where they might
not be found.

Only in the absolute deserts do things

great forces that are turning over the soil

That Awful Small Boy.

Small Boy-"What is roost, papa?"
Parent-"A roost, my son, is the pole
on which chickens roost at night"
Small Boy-"And what is perch,
papa?"
Parent-"A perch is what chickens
perch on at night"
Small Boy -"Well, papa, could a
chicken roost on perch?"
Parent-"Why, OF course"
Small Boy-"And could they perch on
roost?"
Parent-"Certainly, of course"
Small Boy-"But if the chicken perch
ed on roost, that would make the rooSt
perch, wouldn't it ?"
Parent-"Oh, heavens, yes! | sup
pose So"
Small Boy-"But if just after some
chickens had perched on roost and
made it a perch, some chickens came
along and roasted on the perch and made
it rooSt, then the roost would be a perch,
and the perch would be roost, and some
OF the chickens would be perchers and
the others would be roosters, and"

Kept Baby,s Corpse 20 Years.

The pathetic story OF mothers long
years OF silent grief, which ended only in
her death, came TO light few days ago
in the historic town of Greenville, Tenn,
within the shadow OF the old homestead
OF President Andrew Johnson. When
the mother died there was found slowed
away in an upper room of The home an
air-tight casket in which lay the withered
form OF little Estelle Hill. curly-haired
child OF nine years, who died 20 years
ago.
Mrs. Hill, the mother, could not bear
the idea OF separation from her only child
and purchased metallic casket and pro-
vided a small chamber in which the body
remained through all the intervening
years. Mrs. Hill had provided place OF
burial in Greenwood cemetery at Knox
vile, Tenn, for herself and the child, and
papers found in the home gave inStruc-
tions that the two were TO be buried in
the same grave. The mothers last
wishes were followed.

A Pearl Farm.

The New York Mail describes an eX-
tensive sall-wa farm in Japan where
the gardeners encourage oysters TO make
pearls. The farm has an area OF about
fifty square miles, and the water varies
in depth from five 10 fifteen fathoms.
The pearl farmer selects spots where the
oyster spawn is plentiful, and plants
small rocks and stones. As soon as they
are covered with oyster spat he places
them in special beds, where they lie un-
disturbed until the third year.
II is said that an oyster viii not produce
pearl unless foreign substance ir-
ritaies il. As soon as il feels the irnta-
ton, if proceeds 10 cover the troublesome
object with nsere. layer upon layer, until,
after few years, if has made pearl.
When the oysters are large enough the
pearl farmer takes them from their beds
and, carefully opening them. introduces
into their bodies tiny speck OF some
foreign substance. After thathe replaces
them in the sea. At the end of IRON
three to five years the oyster has coated
the foreign substance with uacre and has
made pearl.

To Purify Water.

One cannot judge the purity oi water
by IFS looks Things visible TO the naked
eye are usually harmless. The invisible
germs OF disease are by far the more
injurious 10 human beings.
Most people feel that drinking water is
safe 10 use il it is cool, clear, sparkling
and free from color or odor. Such is
not the case. Even the sparkle may be
due to decomposition products. The
babbling brook usually contains more
dangerous bacteria than standing water.
Streams do not purify themselves by
flowing over their rocky beds. The
mistaken notion that they do is respon-
sible for great deal OF vacation typhoid
tever.
The safest method OF destroying dis
ease germs IN water is by actual boiling.
Boiling the water for five minutes will
kill the germs Of typhoid and allied dis
eases. Chlorine may also be used 10
disiniect the water.
A stock solution is made by taking a
level teaspoonful Of full strength corde
OF lime and rubbing il up 10 thin paste
tree from Jumps in teacup with a little
water. This should then be made up 10
a cupful and diluted with three more
cupfuls OF water and then poured into
bottle and tightly corked. Add a tea
spoonful OF this stock solution TO each
two gallon pail OF drinking water, thor
oughly mixing il and allowing il 10 stand
ten minutes. This will give about one
half part OF free chlorine to million parts
Of water, which will destroy all typhoid
or dysentery producing germs.

A SPADEFUL OF EARTH.

David Fairchild, seed and plant ex-
pert in the United States Department of
Agriculture, has written the following in
teresting article for the Youths Compan-
ion:
1t seems such simple thing, yet, if
you stop 10 look at it, you can hardly
find anything more full OF mystery than
spadeful OF earth. You have here a mass
OF material tremendously old, composed
OF countless myriads of fragments-frag-
ments OF cliffs ground off by glaciers,
fragments OF skeletons OF insects, frag-
ments OF creatures of thousand years
ago. In is living world OF known
and unknown beings, both animals and
plants.
II has in il the particles OF dust brought
to il in the dust storms OF ages, from re-
gions more remote, perhaps, than we
dare 10 guess. The rocks that have been
crushed by glaciers or cracked by frost
or worn to grains OF sand by the action
OF water, the bodies of dead plants and
insects, animals and men, all remain in
The soil until they become parts OF some
form OF life.
Just as all the marvellous activities of
. human life take place within the thin film
OF atmosphere that surrounds the world,
so beneath the soil itself. within the mi
croscopic films OF air and water that cover
every fragment OF earth. the shifting par
ticles are rearranging themselves into
groups OF matter that are destined per-
hapS TO swarm up through The roots Of
corn or wheat and TO form part OF the
gray matter OF some brain of genius.
ltiS strange 10 think that there are atoms
OF matter in our bodies today that have
come unchanged into our systems through
the plants we have eaten, and 10 realize
that those atoms may have been through
millions OF other bodies before they
reached our oWn,--bodies OF insects, Of
animals and of plants,-and that they
will 60 on unchanged as long as life lasts
on this planet.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

VIM. H. Sigler, State road patrolman,
near Middletown, Md. who is required
10 count all machines travelling in both
directions, once month, counted 9S4
automobiles andlmotorcyclesIthat passed
through the bridge. west OF Middletown,
in II hours one day the past week
The State Compensation Department
of West Virginia has awarded to Mrs.
Fannie Barrett and her three children, OF
Harper's Ferry. an allowance OF SIS
month because OF the death OF her hus-
band, Jack Barrett. II will be recalled
that a month or two ago Barrett fell over
cliff at The Bakerion limestone quarries
and received injuries which resulted in
his death.
The Hagersiown saloons did their
usual part in the sending away OF the
soldiers from that city last week. They
exploited their goods with such effect
that number OF the young fellows got
drunk before leaving, and there was tight
after fight in the srmory and some sad
exhibitions on The street. Sheriff Long
and his deputies and the policemen had
their hands full, and what should have
been an impressive occasion became a
