When Children Hike.

A certain hill in one of the suburbs
has afforded opportunity for such fine
coasting within the last few days that
many of the grOwn-ups have Joined
with the children in the sport.
One couple in particular attracted
much attention.
The man must have been sixty, but
the brightness of his eye and the buoy
ancy of his general demeanOr gave the
lie to his white hair.
The woman was also the picture of
vivacity, although her age was close
to that of the man.
Everyone on the hill seemed to en-
Joy watching these two, as together
they drew their sled TO the top, and
starting with the rest, slid to the bot
tom in a whirl of delight.
Everybody laughed when the woman
said to her husband, in mock conster-
nation:
"Oh, Jim, now Wen have to go
home"
"WhyT Jim inquired.
Because" smiled the wife, Il just
heard the curfew blow."-YOungstOwn

DOGS ARE REAL DEMOCRATIC
They Share With the Small Boy Entire
Freedom From snob-
0 bishness.

With the real boy a dog is very
much at home and entirely at Its ease.
Perhaps 1t is happiest with a crowd
of boys at their play, or starting on
on a holiday tramp. That man must
indeed be a Crouch" who has not
many times envied both boys and dog.
His envy is sharpened by the reflec-
ton that the dog knows and under
stands the boys better than he himself
could hope to do.
The dog must be bit of a tramp
perhaps even a rowdy, taking JOY IL
the rough and tumble of life. Fortu
nately few dogs are the worse fo
their breeding or capable of beini
spoiled by education. They are neve
snobs. II has often been observed
and here is a point for the considera
ton of the students of the canine ma
ture and social order-that dogs seen
to prefer what is worn and shabby t(
the spick and span. 1t is the same
with boys, who have a natural repug
nance to anything in the way of fur
niture and carpets that is too fine &c
be used. There is no better teacher
of democracy than the dog, If he has
but half chance. And boys are ap
pupils.

They Are Simple and Can Be Followed
by All, Says Magazine
Writer.

There is no panacea that will bring
long life to every user. "What is one
mans meat is apother mans poi
SON." But a few rules are applicable
TO everyone, declares a writer In the
Worlds Work.
BE moderate in everything. Excess
In eating, drinking, in anything tends
to bring old age.
BE faithful In your exercise and be
sure to choose an exercise that Is help
full.
Stand and sit erect and use your
lungs.
Keep your teeth and gums and throat
clean. The mouth is the principal part
of entry for undesirable immigrant
heterogeneous.
Be careful to maintain the bowel
functions. The digestive tract is a
favorite abiding place for hordes of
maraudlng bacteria.
Have your body occasionally exam
ined. The physician will take notice
of what is wrong and will advise you
accordingly. And let him do the
worrying. Fortunately, the exact con
dition of the organs of the body car
usually be seen by physicians, even
when they are but slightly Off nor
NAL.
Be happy. DO no worry; do not al
low yourself to become a crouch; dc
not "get mad" Remember that psy
| biologists now contend that yOJ
do not clench your hands because yor
are angry. You are angry because
you clench your hands. So do no
clench them.
Act happy, and you will become so
Act young, and you will become so

OLD VOLCANO is DISCOVERED
Exploring Party In the Philippine
Islands Adds Another Spouter
to the Maps.

The Philippine islands still are I'M
explored land to the white man. On
a march some time ago, lieutenant
of the constabulary found lava flow
and other evidences of volcanic activ-
;ity at the base Of the Ragang noun
tains. Recently an exploring party
climbed the mountains and now an
other volcano is being added to the
maps.
The volcano which the party found
consists of three peaks between which
extends the crater, now. quiet. A
fourth peak is thought once to have
stood at one corner of the crater, for
there is evidence that great explo-
sion shattered 1t.
Vegetation in the form of buckle
berry bushes, scrubby trees, small
tufts of short grass and Canadian
thistle extends to near the top Of thu
peaks. Covering the peaks is a thil
crust of hardened lava which is cas-
lily kicked up by the shoe, and the
rock underneath is soft, spongy anC
warm.
At innumerable vents an odorless
steam was issuing. There was nc
bubbling lava or signs of n recent lava
flow, although on one side there ap'
peared to have been a recent blast of
hot gases. The trees there were
scorched and burned, while the leaves
were still hanging TO the dead
branches.-Kansas City Times.

SOME FACTS ABOUT AFRICA
Every Eighth Person Of the Popula-
tion Of the World Lives In the
( Dark Continent.

Nearly one-fourth Of the earth's
land surface is comprised within the
continent of Africa. IL is as far around
the coast Of Africa as II is around the
world. Every eighth person Of the
worlds population lives in the Dark
Continent. The blacks double their
number every 40 years and the whites
every so years. There are S43 IAN
guages and dialects in use among the
blacks of Africa. Only a few OF the
languages have been reduced to writ
ing. Thirty-five years ago the export
of cocoa from the Gold Coast amount
ed to 500 Today is Is over $S,0OO,OOO.
The coal fields of Africa aggregate
100000 square miles; its copper fields
equal those of North America and Eu-
rope combined, and IL has undeveloped
iron ore amounting to five times that
of North America. Africa has 4O,OOO
miles of river and lake navigation, and
water powers aggregating 30 times
those of Niagara Falls.
If Africa had the same proportion
Oh IullTOdu iulltuBC 10 AhN Ch''N
States according to its size, 1t would
have a million miles of track instead
of the $4,000 miles now in operation
/ One area in Africa unoccupied by mis-
sionaries is three times the size OF
New England, a second would make
/ four states like New York, third
would cover eight Iowas, and fourth
is IS times the size Of Ohio. Through
out Africa there is one missionary fol
every $4,000 souls.
Almost the entire continent is nov
under European flags. France has
colony in Africa 20 times the size OF
France itself. The British flag flies
over a territory as large as the United
States, and extends almost without in
terruption from the Cape to Cairo,
distance of 5000 miles.-World Out
