Kate Fteid's prophecv.

When, a good many years ago, Kate
Field wrote those clever verses begin
ming: "They talk about a woman's
sphere as though II had a limit" little
she guessed how tremendously that
sphere was destined to be enlarged
By the coming Of the year of our Lord
n thousand nine hundred and seven
teen. AS a matter of course, observes
an exchange, the great world war Is
responsible for the very rapid advance
the women are making In every sphere
Of the worlds work. We are no longer
surprised to find that women are doing
anything and everything that men can
do, from driving warplanes to shining
shoes. A shoe-polishing ''parlor" in
which only women are employed Is
now doing business In Boston. yet even
this innovation scarcely challenges at
tention in these times Of shifting con-
ditions.

NEITHER PENCIL NOR PEN
Writing Implement, Made Of Mixture
of Wax and Ground Pumlee
Stone, Recent invention.

A writing implement composed Of a
mixture of wax and finely ground pu-
mice stone containing particles of ink
has been invented by William G. Geer
Of Akron, o., to take the place Of Ordi-
nary and fountain pens, pencils, cray
ons and all other writing implements,
say the Popular Science Monthly. AS
the body Of the new writing device is
composed Of a mixture Of wax and
pumice stone, which is easily worn
away when rubbed against a paper
surface, the inventor claims that the
cells of ink intermixed with the wax
and pumice stone will also be liber-
ated. giving a uniform supply Of ink.
The device is made by mixing the
wax. pumice stone and Ink together.
When 1t is heated to the proper tenn
p~erature II is suddenly immersed in
cold water. This chills and solidifles
the wax mixture, producing a body
having a cellular structure, each cell
being filled with ink.

To Induce Sleep.

When trying to induce sleep 1t Ia
well, observes an authority. to put
away all serious thoughts and try to
get the mind into a pleasant. elevated
state. Some people make q habit OF
reading before retiring, but too often
one reads on until eyes and head ache.
AS a result the following morning fhe
eyes are %bloodshot and bullying from
the overstrain and the individual has
lost the necessary amount of rest be-
cause of this enforced strain. 1t Is
most important that the ventilation Of
the sleeping apartment be attended to |;
that there Is clear, fresh air circulat-
ing. Windows should be raised from
the bottom and lowered from the top
also, so that the air may circulate free
ly. The question of whether 1t is
healthy to sleep with a pillow or with
out one has been debated many times,
but a happy medium Is recommended
as the most comfortable one.

HAPPIEST PERIOD OF LIFE
Generation That Really Knows What
Gladness Is Has Not Been Born,
Asserts Church Paper.

Some sage has arisen to remark
that human life up to about fifty years
ago was not worth ~living-that only
the inventions and institutions of the
last half century have made life bear
able.
Unfortunately, there Is no way accu-
rately to gauge the degree of happi-
ness of any period or even to define
exactly what happiness is, says the
Christian Herald.
All we can know for certain is that
the happiness of our own times is the
best that is attalnable TO US, and lucky
Is he who gets his share Of 1t.
Happiness. like health, Is known to
us chiefly through fits opposite. Health
Is known through disease and pain,
and happiness through disappoint-
nent and misery.
The masses Of mankind, until this
century almost dumb, now make heard
their sufferings and dissatisfaction.
The woes of centuries are finding ut
terance in the free speech If our day.
The wall may cause the unthinking
to suppose that the sun Of human
happiness is suddenly obscured. But.
TO the contrary, the remedies follow
ing the better understanding Of wrong
conditions steadily improve the con-
1itions under which happiness may
become more general. The more we
hear Of wrongs, the fewer wrongs we
have.
Philosophers may wrangle about 1t
until doomsday. and no doubt they
will; but the age which knows the
least earthly misery and woe is the
one that has been longest dead, and
the generation that really knows what
happiness is and can realize its full
possession is a long time yet unborn.

The Bayonet the publication issued

takes the following view of the first
American drive, describing it entirely
in baseball lingo.
THE first american drive was like
going to first base. Didn't have to hit
the dirt; Just went into the bag stand
ing up. The delivery was too fast for
the Huns, and there was promiScuOus
use of the bean ball. Although it was
like trying out new pitchers, they
showed promise and are backed by
any number of veterans to take up the
work if any wavering symptoms should
show. Only the top of the batting or
der was used. and there win be some
smuggling before the game gets much
older. From the way the batteries
are going it looks as if the Hun side
will be retired on strikes"

Fred Tenney, greatest of first base

not Immediately light out for second
base, like Charlie Holl0cher of the
Cubs did in the second world series
game in Boston. That contest was the
first title game Tenney ever had seen.
The play on HolIOcher turned the COM
plexion of the tussle and brought from
Ienney the information that there
isn't chance in a hundred for a first
baseman to get the ball to second in
time to stop the runner if the runner
goes ahead.

men who pulled it on me was Jim Nc
