ClaxaF Adxartiainu.

An ingenious advertisement recently
made its appearance on the walls and
boardings of French town. It said:
"A wallet containing the sum Of 800
francs and large number Of orders
has been lost by travelling salesman
Of the firm of x. & Co. The finder Is
requested to return the orders to <. &
Co. and to keep the 300 francs as re-
ward for his trouble In so doing"
OF course everybody read the adver-
tisement OF course everybody said to
himself that the batch of orders on K.

Horse Sense.

If you work for a man, in heavens
name work for him. If he pays wages
that supply you your bread and butter,
work for him, speak well of him, think
well Of him, stand by him and stand by
the institution he represents I think
if worked for man | would work
for him. would not work for him
part of his time, but all of his time.
would give an undivided service or
none. If put to pinch an ounce Of
loyalty is worth pound Of cleyerness.
If you vilify, condemn and eternally
disparage, why, resign your position
and when you are outside roar to your
hearts content. But, ] pray you, SO
long as you are part Of an institu-
ton, do not condemn it. Not that you
will injure the institution-not that
but when you disparage the concern OF
which you are part you disparage
yourself.-Elbert Hubbard.

Do not be afraid, do not cry out, for
life. is good. came from low down,
from the cellar OF Life, where darkness
and terror reign, where man is half
beast and life Is only fight for bread.
1t flows slowly there, In dark streams,
but even there CLEAN pearls Of courage,
Of intelligence and Of heroism, even
there beauty and love exist. Everywhere
that man Is found, good is; in tiny
particles and invisible roots-but still
it is there. All these roots will not
perish; some will grow and flourish and
bear fruit I bought dearly the right
to believe this; therefore it is mine my
whole life long. And thus have won
yet another right, the right to demand
that you, too, believe as do, for am

who have sent me to herald their pain.

Houses Made of Glass.

Glass Is becoming more generally
used as building material each year.
For some years glass bricks have been
utilized where strength and durability
as well as beauty were essential fea-
lures. Glass is used for wainscoting,
for partitions, for ceilings and for fac
ing the fronts Of buildings. It is also
being used for foundations.
It has been demonstrated that the
crushing strength Of glass is three
times that of granite, six times that of
ordinary brick and ten times that Of
concrete. Another advantage it has
over these materials is that it is abso-
lutely nonabsorbent, SO that a glass
building can be perfectly dry inside, no
matter what the atmospheric condi-
tons outside Journal.

Fish Versus Mosquitoes.

Myriads Of mosquitoes used to infest
the rice plantations Of Madagascar.
DR.. Legendre, savant well known in
scientific circles in Paris, conceived
the idea Of freeing the region of mala-
rial trouble by the Introduction into
the watercourses Of cyprin, or red fish,
which are very fond of both mosqui-
toes and their eggs. Within five months
500 fish multiplied to 10000, and these
destroyed nearly all the mosquitoes.
The fish besides being a malaria de-
stroyer became very important as an
addition to native food.-London Tele-

Colony of Cousins.

In Catlin bay, close to the great rock
Of Gibraltar, there is colony SO unique
that it stands out almost as tribe dis
tinct in itself. Many generations ago,
during a storm, feet Of Genoese fish
ermen put into the sheltered spot and
so escaped the fury Of the sea. In the
boats, so history has it. were many w0-
men, and they became so enamored OF
the spot that huts were built and they
remained. Hundreds of years have
passed, and the little tribe still fingers
on. It is a colony of cousins, dwelling
apart in the shadow of a great rock
and going down to the sea in ships to
earn hard won livelihood

70 SECOND CROP
Freed Ground Can Be Used to
Plant Variety Of Vegetables,

WASHINGTON, D. {. .- Now that
radishes, lettuce, and in some sections
peas, spinach and other early crops are
being harvested, home gardeners should
be making their preparations to utilize
the freed space by planting other crops
say specialists OF the United States
department of Agriculture
Irish Potatoes Important Crop,
In planning for these paintings, the
SPECIALISTS suggest, 1t is well at all
times, but especially this year. to con
centrate efforts on the production OF
vegetables that have considerable food
value and on those which may be stored
in their natural condition, dried or
canned for winter use. Late Irish po-
tatoes is one of the important crops
that can be grown on the freed ground
Navy beans furnish substantial food
which is easily stored, and the present
market prices make il worth while in
sections where they thrive TO replant
