While the Spirit Lives,

The men Of the American Revolution
have left US an example already in
scribed in the worlds memory; an ex-
ample portentiOuS to the aims of tyran-
ny in every land; an example that will
console in all ages the dropping aspira-
tons of oppressed humanity. They
have left us a written charter as leg
acy and as a guide to our course. But
every day cOnvinceS US that a written
charter may become powerless. 1g-
nOrance may miSinterpret it; ambition
may aSsail and faction destroy its vital
parts and aspiring knavery may at last
sing its requiem on the tomb of depart
ed liberty. 1t is the spirit which lives !;
in this are our safety and our hope !;
the spirit Of our fathers, and while this
dwells deeply in our remembrance, and
it's flame is cherished, ever burning,
ever pure, on the altar of our hearts !;
while it inciteS US to think as they
have thought, and do as they have
done, the honor and the praise will be
ours, to have preserved unimpaired the
rich Inheritance which they so nObly
achieved.-Jared Sparks 07S9-1866).

Spelling A sTORYs EFFECT
Better-to-Do Relatives Have a Discon-
certing Way Of Rushing One
to the Point.

When you are telling something,
don't you hate for the listener to urge
you to come to the point at once?
Especially is this true in case where
you have managed something very
skillfully, and wish, in telling about
it, to give credit where credit is due.
AS d rule, better-tO-dO relatives are
impatient, and don't seem to care to
hear your whole story, writes Claude
Callan in the Fort Worth Star-Tele-
gram.
Years ago a better-to-do sent US to
q neighbours house to borrow buck
saw. We were proud to do this for
him, and when we returned we left
the saw in the yard, stepped into the
house and said to Better: swell,
when / got over there found that he
wasn't at home. His wife wouldn' t
let the saw go, so I went down to the
river, where he was fishing. He said
he didn't think that it was at home.
He thought he had lent it to his broth
er, and So"
"Oh, blank it." said Better, did you
get the SAW"

Corridor as Revolver Ranue.

A long basement corridor, bounded
on either side by brick walls, has been
fitted up at small expense by the police
department of Salem, Mass, as a re-
volver range. The total cost of max
ing the alteration was but $50. Be-
cause of it's convenient location, the
members of the force have found it
easy to keep up their revolver practice.
The target end of the corridor was COW
cred with sheet iron, over which planks
were placed to prevent the bullets from
rebOunding. The lights were protected
with sheet iron also. A plain wooden
counter serves to hold the revolvers
when they are not in use. When

a wire which is stretched from one end
of the gallery to the other.-Popular

A Geological Discovery.

The minuteness and perfect state Of
preservation of some of the remains
found in the rocks of organisms which
lived untold millions of years Ego is
beautifully shown by the researches of
Prof. F. w. Oliver on an archaic type
of seeds discovered in the lower coal
measures of Lancashire. These seeds
are only about one-fifth Of an inch long,
but under the microscope their integu-
ment is seen TO possess ten ribs, which
project like little arms from the top
of the nucleus. Many pollen cells were
discovered and these have been sec
toned, and what appears to be fossil
sperms, occurring in pairs Ia each pol
len cell. have been detected. The
plants that bore these seeds have not
yet been traced.

we come into the world ana we expect
to find Joy waiting for us again when
we go back to heaven, but in the mean
time we walk with downcast eyes and
hanging arms, crushed by the heavi-
ness Of mortal existence when, if we
stopped to think, we would know that
the spiritual things make life; that
without love and JOY and unselfishness
and courage we could not long endure
the daily mortal round of dressing and
eating and sleeping. If there is any
such thing as eternal life, this present
life is part of it, and why not go light
ly through the hours-even when we
stop being twenty-instead of YEARLY
Flooding through them? We may, If
we refuse to allow the laws and de-
mands Of mortal existence to superim-
pose themselves on the laws of eternal
life and crush out all spiritual eager
ness, says a writer in Scribner's.
1t is a matter, not of the events Of
life, but of our acceptance of life.
Could the terrible events of the French
revolution crush the spirit of the

dle-aged among them in those prison
days when they danced and sang with
gay insouciance while each waited for
his turn at the guillotine. They lost
their heads but they never dropped
them, for they knew the secret of spir-
itual youth.
The society women of today main
tain that same gallantness Of youth.
Perhaps not every one of them feels
the pulse of spiritual life, but they re-
fuse middle age and are willing to pay
the price of their refusal To hold their
prestige they must be slim and charm
ing, and slim they are, even though in
extreme cases they gain their slimness
by rolling on the floor and the charm
from the hands of their maids, and
their gayety lies no deeper than the
tips of their tongues. Still, in their
courage and confidence they never
strike their colors to middle age. How
ever they feel inwardly, Outwardly
they never fiaunt a dropping mouth or
a Sagging figure.

Here's to LAUGHTER.

Here's to laughter, the sunshine of
the soul, the happiness ct the heart,
the leaves of youth, the privilege of
purity, the echo of innocence, the
treasure Of the humble, the wealth of
the poor, the head of the cup of pleas
ure, exclaims a writer in the New
York Herald. 1t dispels detection
banishes blues and mangles melan-
choly, for it's the foe of woe, the de-
stroyer of depression, the enemy OF
grief; it is what makes kings envy
peasants, plutocrats envy the poor, the
guilty envy the innocent; it's the
sheen on the silver of smiles, the rip
pie on the waters delight, the CLINT
of the gold of gladness; without i!
humor would be dumb, wit would
wither, dimples would disappear and
smiles would shrivel, for it's glow OF
a clean conscience, the voice of a pure
soul, the birth cry of mirth. the swan
song of sadness.

Ceilings.

Ceilings of an ordinary country or
town house should be treated with
great discretion. This work should
never be trusted to a painter who will
insist on some stenciled design for
which he has partiality. When a low
ceiling is so treated it appears to be
lower than it really is. We should
not give accentuation to the ordinary
ceiling. When the walls and wood
work are of one color the ceiling may
be colored just enough to carry the
tone away from white. Green walls
and white woodwork require a white
ceiling. Height is diminished by bring
ing the ceiling color down to the pic
ture holding. The ceiling can then be
finished with wash or covered with
paper. Powered paper is sometimes
used in such caSes-Exchange

that And his nonchalance was soon
justified, for the assistant came out,
looked the patient over, and said to
this tardy arrival, "You are next" 1t

this favor, for he had never been
there before.

. Gray Squirrel a Pest.

The American gray squirrel is likely
to prove a pest in England, as the
experience has been with the imported
sparrow and starting in the United
States. OF its Introduction into Rich
mond park, Sir Frederick Treves re-
ports that it has not only driven out
the red squirrel, but it has spread into
neighboring gardens, where it is doing
great damage, especially to the buds
and shoots Of young fruit trees, peas
and strawberries. Though its destruc-
ton has been ordered, it may have
scattered SO far already that control

Cottage cheese is one of the import
ant meat substitutes, say specialists
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture 1t contains larger per-
centage of protein (the chief material
for body building) than most meats
and furnishes this material at a lower
cost. In every pound of cottage cheese
there is about one-fifth of pound of
protein, nearly all of which is digest
ibIe Meats, on the other hand, usual
ly contain less protein and besides
have certain waste, such as bone and
other inedible material. A pound of
cottage cheese daily would supply all
the protein required by the ordinary
adult engaged in a sedentary occupa-
tion.

Raising poultry from the scraps off
the family table sounds good, but it is
certain that the chickens must have
some grain food The retail market
price for old dressed chickens hovers
in the vicinity of % cents per pound
pretty dear for the table However
there is much waste which finds lodge
ment in the garbage can which would
feed poultry and thus reduce the cost
of egg production. Every city resi-
dent cannot keep chickens for obvious
reasons, as they are not desirable
when homes are congested. The United
States Department of Agriculture has
just issued an estimate that upwards
of seven hundred millions of dollars
is the annual tribue paid by Americans
TO the garbage can. But as rule the
people who throw the waste into gar
bage cans cannot raise chickens. The
idea is right where conditions are
such that people have the necessary
room TO breed them 1t might be as
well said that each family should
raise a pig or two in the city But
that time is past.
