Lend a Hand

YOU may not realize it now, but it is true
= that supporting our Government to
the limit in its war financing is our only
insurance against the loss of all that we
possess. Literally our all is at stake.
No American is too dull to realize what
would have happened in 1776 had our fore
fathers skunk away to fondle their gold
when the proclaimers hurled their chal-
lenge.
Don't think that America cannot lose this
fight! For lose it she will if we sit back
and let the other fellow do the fighting
and the lending, both! Our troops are
marching out to 'sno mans land,' ready to
go through the fiery ordeal of battle for
u.s. They do not ask that we older men
tramp beside them, but they do ask that
we back them up with our dollars, provid
ing ships and food and clothing, permitting
no want Of guns or shells, cartridges or air
planes, counting no sacrifice too great
when they are laying down their lives for
freedom and humanity. The Second Liberty
Loan is your opportunity to lend a helping
hand.

The symbol Of the venetianerepublic,
the famous lion Of St. Mark, is made
of bronze. There is a tradition among
tie Venetian people that it's eyes are
diamonds. They are really white ag-
ares. Saceted. Its name is most elab-
crately wrought, and Its -etia cted,
gaping mouth and Its fierce nustaches
give it an oriental aspect The crea-
ture as it now stands belongs TO many
different epochs, varying from soyne
date previous to our era down to this
century. It Is conjectured that 1t may
nave originally formed a part OF TIE
decoration of some Assyyian palace.

Free Water In the Earth.

The amount of water held in the
rocks or other materials composing the
earth varies greatly, owing to many
causes. The amount absorbed de-
ponds on the porosity OF the material,
the slope Of the surface and the size
and abundance OF joint cracks, assures
and cavities. The amount of water in
drift or surface materials Is dependent
to some extent on the nature of the
underlying rock, and the amount which
finds its way into the solid rock
is dependent on the thickness of
the everything surface deposit. The
amount Of water contained in the
earth's crust Ito depth Of three niles
has been estimated by different writer's
with widely different results. A re
cent estimate given by the United
States geological survey, department
of the interior, is that the total
amount of free water in the earth's
crust would be equivalent to uniform
sheet over the entire surface Of the
earth having depth Of about 100
feet. This is but small fraction Of
the estimate made by other writer's.

Rapid Painting.

Sir Edwin Landseer had promised a

day before the exhibition was to be
opened all the hanging committee had
received was an empty frame, which
was duly hung IN the position Of honor.
AS the prospect Of receiving pic

mittee to be slight, a member thereof
Went to see the artist. He found Land

That's the picture I promised" said
the great man, pointing to the canvas.
II have not touched it yet, but will

Winninn q Fur Coat.

greatly that he endeavored to hit on q
plan by which he might retain possess
sion OF it. On sending home the por-

and to the letter requesting him to do
so he made no reply. One day when
looking out Of a window he saw the
prince coming toward his house. Has
tily slipping into the garb, Canon sat
down in an armchair near the fire.
The prince, who had come for his coat.
started on seeing Canon groahing and
trembling at the fireside. What is the
matter with YOU" he asked. "Oh,"
groaned Canon, 81 don't know what 1t

Chant of the Maori,

An interesting and pathetic scene is
often witnessed in the camps where
there are Maori soldiers. These occa-
sions are when Maoris who have been
wounded in battle take leave Of their
comrades on the eve Of their return
to their homes, in many cases to fight
no more.
Before their departure those who are
left behind set up mournful, though
melodious, dirgelike chant, the pathos
OF which invariably brings tears to the
eyes of those who hear it. 1t is their
chant of farewell to those brothers in
arms who have shared their dangers
and who will never fight side by side
with them again.
The Maoris place their faith great
deal in green jade luck charms. Green
jade has with them g traditional iE-
terest, for it was of this material that
the tomahawks Of the ancient Maori
chiefs were fashioned.-London Mail.

Course of Your Tears.

Have you ever noticed two tiny holes
at the nose" end of each eye? Prob
ably not, for they are very tiny, like
pinholes. But If you, look at your eye
carefully in a mirror you will find
them. They are tear ducts or tubes.
Your tears start behiHd your eyebrows,
at the narrow end Of the eve. They
pass out below the eyelids, and the
blinking of the eyelids carries them to-
ward the other end of the eye, where
the ducts or overflow pipes collect and
carry them down !nto your nose. That
IS why you are apt to blow your nose
when you cry.
A flow of tears is going on all the
time to lubricate the eyeball. It is
only when you are under powerful
emotion that they overflow.

Eating an Egg.

Is there any corner of the earth
where the homely egg has not found
it's way? 1t forms a substantial food
to all nations, and it is not curious that
different nationalities have different
ways Of demolishing this eatable.
Eating an egg with a spoon would
be sacrilege to a Spaniard. He boils
his egg just one minute, then breaks
he contents into glass and drinks it
