THE THRONE IN THE HOME.
Where Two Should Rule as One to In
sure Real HAPPINESS.

SuVo hSai FlaPFlueSo'
"a man may build a throne for the
woman he loves" says the Mothers
Magazine, 'but he win find that to
make her queen he must mount it be-
side her, for only where two rule as one
can either hold true sway. Whether
married or single, we do not live unto
ourselves alone. All the world some
how is affected by what we are, and in
the married state we have greater
obligation than merely to keep the
peace or to observe the conventions or
to demonstrate how We can improve
upon Gods law OF life and love.
1T is well that we should use every
God given power Of mind and spirit,
every quality and grace aud virtue at
our command, before and after, in or,
der to live up to the privileges and re-
sponsibiities of marriage. But mar
riage fortunately is a thing of the
heart rather than of the intellect, and
It is our wrong attitude Of mind to-
ward matrimony that would drag it
down to our own level and limit Of
comprehension and make il n merely
human mistake instead OF divine gift
IF we would make 1t blessing In
stead OF a curse, If we would have it
encompass all of our needs in joy and
sorrow. If we would have ii endure
with US through life and eternity as the
sublime fact of our existence, we must
live up to it hour by hour in spirit
of faith and hone and charity"

BOMBS FROM AlRPLANES.
Simple Device That Aids In Dropping
the Missiles Accurately.

At the numerous aerial bombing
schools pilots aud observers are taught
how to drop bombs accurately on sta
tionary and moving objects on the
ground and on captive balloons.
Bombs Of all classes are used, from the
eight pound high explosive bomb to the
200 pound bomb as well AS the phos-
phoriis and rochambite bombs.
The instrument that is used In direct
ing the placing Of bomb on the object
aimed at is a simple device and is pro
vided with several adjustments that
can be made almost instantly. One Of
these gives the speed al which the ma
chine is travelling. another is an ordi-
nary water level. and both in eonjmc-
ton with two mirrors which show the

Iowa has one automobile for every
eleven of the population, or practically
one for every other family. Vermont
has one for every twenty of its popula-
ton, or one for ever four families.
We generally think of the cities and
the larger towns as the places of
wealth, but the distribution of automo-
blos shows that the rural states have
the most cars in proportion to popula-
ton While the cities have wealth
they have poverty also. The average
in the country is better.
