WORTH OF A SIMPLE RULE
Value Demonstrated by Novels He
roine Who Believed No Situation
Justified a Wrong Deed.

The heroine of a novel Of than
usual interest, by adhering persistent
Iy to a maxim. saves several persons
from the consequences Of their weak
nesses and brings them to her own
point of view in a truly astonishing
way. The nub of her philosophy Is
that If you do right, only good will
come Of 1t and she proceeds from
the first chapter 10 work practical
proof of 1t among a circle Of people
bent on indulging their WI wills and
whims rather than doing right.
Some simple rule of conduct Is a
convenience for everybody, says the
Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. 1t may
easily become a personal motto and
living up TO 1T a fetish. That was the
case with the heroine of fiction; do
ing right was almost an obsession with
her. but for all that she was by no
means dull and the opposite OF in
sipid. She believed no situation justi-
fed a wrong deed and none was so
bad that a good one couldn't improve
It, SO she persisted in doing right when
everybody else In the book-save one,
Of course-seemed determined to do
wrong. But she proved the worth of
a simple rule in governing daily con-
tact with people.

His WifSs Temper.

I have seen, especially among the
leisure class, eapricious and ill-tem-
pered women whose husbands lived In
constant dread of a scene of some
sort, says a writer In the Woman's
Home Companion. There, poor, down
trodden men spent their days IN pla-
eating their wives, In side-stepping
tempers and tears with humiliating
nimbleness, or in exercising a patient
kindness less degrading to them and
deeply touching to all spectators. Such
men are always pitied by the whole
community in which they live, but this
pity is q subtle form of contempt. The
sympathetic community feels that side
stepping a wife's moods is a poor way
for a live man to be spending his days.
When, however, a man blights the
life of his household In a similar way,
the commiseration which his wife re-
ceives is small, especially IL he hap
pens to be that which is sc aptly
termed "a good provider." In fact, the
feeling Of the community eloquently re-
fleets my mothers attitude; that it Is
a "woman's business to make her home
liyabIe."

BLACK PEARL OF BRISBANE
Giant Jewel Seems to Exude an Air
of UnfathomabIe Mystery, Writes
Correspondent

A certain air Of mystery seems to
attach to a black pearl, as much from
its rarity as from any other reason.
"There is at present In Brisbane
writes a correspondent from that
Queensland city, "a very fine specimen
of black pearl. which has been brought
from the northern pearling grounds OF
the state by the owner, who is also
the owner Of a large peariing fleet. It
is spherical in shape and jet black in
color. and it seems to exude an air Of
unfathomable mystery. One felt when
looking at II that 1t should form the
pivotal point of some great tragedy, a
thing which should be the basis of a
cycle OF weird events. involving the
lives and happiness of men and wom-
en-. The notorious Hope diamond must
have inspired somewhat similar feel
ings.
$50 far this black gem has had a
very uneventful career since its dis
covery in the shell of the oyster re-
sponsible for its production. How
ever, 1t has a long time ahead Of IT II
it is anxious to live In history. The
probability is that IL will ultimately
find its way to the collection Of some
enthusiast on the lookout for curios Of
great value"

WHAT SPY MAY DO In WAR
Ethics of profession" Make IL PERMITS.
sible for Him to Wear the Uniform
of the Enemy.

Initiating the b~ugle-calls of the en-
envy is quite legitimate; so is the wear
ing Of their uniform, with n reser-
walton. A soldier may not fire on the
enemy while so attired. But he may
advance or retreat, build bridges and
perform any other military operation
short Of actual fighting, using the uni
form as a means of deception.
A soldier may spy as much as he
likes. If he worms his way into the
enemy's lines he is only doing his duty,
and, if captured there, may not be
punished beyond being taken an ordi-
nary prisoner, provided he is wearing
a uniform. If he is in any kind Of dis
guise he may be shot.
In the course of his spying he may
kill as many of the enemy as he can.
When he approaches the sentries he
may stab them in the dark, or use any
trick to throw them off their guard ex-
cept one. He may not say "friend" If
the sentry challenges him (unless, or
course, he intends to surrender).
Similarly, if suddenly attacked, he
may not use any words to make the
enemy believe that he is a friend In
disguise, and so take him unawares.

When Water Bolis.

The temperature of boiling water
may be varied by circumstances. What
we call boiling is the passage TO the
surface of the vapor which forms at
the bottom of a vessel of water when
1t is heated. The upward passage of
the vapor through the water causes a
commotion of bubbling which we call
boiling. But this condition does not
always indicate the same degree of
heat. Water with common salt In 1T
requires more heat to make 1t boil
than pure water because the salt re-
tards the rising of the vapor. The pres
sure of the atmosphere affects the
boiling point. At sea level the boiling
point Is PIP degrees, but at a consid-
cradle distance above sea level it is
less and at a distance below sea level 1t
Is more than PIP degrees. At the City of
Mexico, 7,471 feet above sea level, wa
ter boils at 1913 degrees of heat; at
Quito, 9,541 feet high, 1t boils at 1874
degrees, and in the Himalayas, at a
height of 1900 feet, 1t boils at 80 de-
grees, or 80 degrees less than at sea
level. II would be difficult to make
water boil at the bottom of a shaft
several miles deep. In elevated places
many substances cannot be cooked by
boiling; water will bubble and boil at
a degree of heat sufficient for
cooking.

WHEN LIFE WAS ADVENTURE
Better knowledge of Way Nature
Works Has Removed Uncertain
ties That Once E~xhilarsted.

An old negro nanny. working for
a family. was observed not to eat the
fish that was served at dinner.
whats the matter with the fish,
auntie7" the mistress inquired. "Ah
doan' see how you dare eat it," she
replied. "You nevah saw its head.
How you know but what it had the
head Of a HUMANE"
Once in a while we get back that
way to the world our ancestors lived
in. What a wonderful adventure life
must have been to them! They e
or knew when they might see a human
headed fish. or a centaur or a dragon.
They wouldn't have been surprised
at a dryad stepping put of a tree.
There must have been a certain ex-
hilaration about that kind of uncer-
tainty that we miss nowadays. A bet
ter knowledge of the way nature
works has taken a good deal of the
childlike romance out of life.
We get a faint reflection of II in the
mild superstitions that most of as
cling TON our beliefs in magic num-
bers, in the harm of seeing the new
moon over the left shoulder, in the in
fluence of the dark Of the moon. One
reason for the charm of Greek liter
allure is that it was written by men
who were close enough to the primitive
so that its beliefs were still fresh and
vital with them.-Exchange
