race is 100000. That's 1900 a

before they are sixteen years old; one
quarter of the human race die before
they are five years old. The average
length of human life is thirty-three

one woman in million lives TO be
one hundred years old But don't let
this discourage you from taking as
good care of your health as If it were

Music and cleaning the parlor have
never been very closely associated
When the housewife wants to play the
piano she generally waits until she
has cleaned the parlor, taken bath
and dressed herself in party clothes
Now a Philadelphia has patented o
dust-tiltering attachment which can be
attached to the player piano, and the
ordinary housewife can now seat her
self at the player-piano, obtain music
via the keys, work the pedals for all
she Is worth and, with her child to
run the vacuum cleaner about the
floor she can have it clean in a jiffy.
The bellows of the player are attached
to the vacuum cleaner by means of
Il special pipe, and in this manner the
needed vacuum is created for cleaning
purposes.

Natural Study.

The teacher was hearing the class
in nature. Trying to impress upon
the childrens minds the horror of cru
city to animals, she told the following
story:
Once a farmer went out to milk
COW and little calf switched the man
In the eye with its tail. The man
took out his knife and cut off the
calf's tail. Now, children, what verse
in the bible should that man have re
membered?"
OF course she had referred to
Blessed are the merciful." but Philip
had another answer:

Religious literature characterized
by certain elevation is always time

these things with a timeless power and
warmth.
