BEING Ones Self.

We owe 1t to mankind to give our
selves as we are 20 earth's aggregate
Of attainment and experience. We are
indeed to raise ourselves to our Nth
power of existence and achievement,
but that highest power must still he
our own, individually expressed. Even
though our best be poorer than some
one else's Indifferent medium it will
be a thousand times better for us and
for all, that humanity get each undc-
rived apd incommunicable self rather
than that it receive an imperfect ard
disappointing duplicate of ancthcr.
And let us remember, also, both for
our comfort and our inspiration, that
he who gives his uty1ost is at the last
analysis rendering n greater service
than he who, though seemingly be-
slowing much, gives but fraction of
his possible being and doing to his
fellow men.-philip Burroughs Strong.

Saws Blue Is Best.

OF all colors for a bedroom, perhaps
blue is the best. A plain striped blue
paper, or one having only very slight
pattern scarcely discernible at first
sight, surmounting a dado of deep full
blue; an ivory white or cream-tinted
ceiling and plain frieze complete the
scheme of color, with the woodwork
stained and polished or painted and

to every object in a room so deco

In strong light against practically

Are you one of the persons who can
not work in crowd? If you are, you
are a most unfortunate person, for it
is fact that in this busy age most of
us have to learn to do our work
wherever we may happen to be. 1t is
seldom that we find it possible to work
in secluslon, shut away from the noise
and rush of business, observes an eff
cheney engineer.
Most large business concerns are
beehiyes of activity. Unless one can
find it possible to concentrate on the
work In hand, even in the midst of
confusion, it Is plain to see that much
time will be lost and much energy
wasted in this rushing world, where
each one faces many duties in many
lines of activity.

MILLIONS WORK IN MINES
More Than Half of the 100000 Men
Employed Below Earth's Sur
face Dig Coal.

The magnitude of the mining indus
try may be grasped when one realizes
that more than 100000 men are en-
gagged in the mines of the world. OF
this number 100000 are employed in
the coal mines and 100000 in the
metal mines. In addition, millions
more are engaged in allied industries
dependent directly upon the mines for
coal and metal, according to the En-
gineering and Mining Journal.
Mining is one of the hazardous in
dusTies employing over 100000 men
in the United States, In which three
out of every 1000 men employed are
killed every year by reason of some ac-
cident While complete data relating
to non-fatal injuries are not available,
reports to the United States bureau of
mines for all metal mines in the
United States show that about 200
men per thousand per year are in
jured sufficiently to cause a loss Of
time. A reduction of 80 per cent in
the number of mine accidents would
mean a saving of 1,500 lives in the
United States every year, in addition
to reducing the loss of time and suf-
fering resulting from more than 20O,-
600 nOn-fatal injuries.

ENCOURAGE Stammerinq Child.

Never laugh at child who stam-

while he is child, for the habit grows.
Make him stop and rest moment,
then have him repeat what he was say

telephone has the credit of being an
entire novelty, yet Robert Hooke two
hundred and odd years ago, wrote:

gated sound to a very considerable dis
lance in an instant or with as seem
ingy quick motion as that of light

liooke did not follow up the lead. SO
the world had to wait two centuries for
the admirable instrument which saves
so much of humanity's time today.

Snow and Ice Worms.

There are at present known in the
world approximately 60 species and
varieties of snow and ice worms. Sex
ually mature specimens, yellowfsh to
dark reddish brown or black In color,
about an inch long and one-twentieth
inch in diameter were found in Febru-
airy and April Q916) abundantly on the
open snow fields of Mount Rainier, at
an elevation of 1850 to 5000 feet above
sea level. They also occurred or the
snow on the mountain slope protected
by dense forest of fir and heInlock.
These worms have not thus far been
found on solid ice nor on the glaciers,
though they occur on the snow below
the ice from and outside of the lateral
moraines of the Nlsqually glacier. The
snow on which they were found is not
permanent through the entire season,
but melts with the coming of summer,
and it therefore appears that part of
their life must be spent on orr in the
ground.
