Discipline in Work.

Work is the greatest discipline
rian in the world, definite, regular
work, coupled with the knowledge that
If you do not come up to the standard
you will lose your job. The reason
there are so many wretched housekeep-
ers and miserable cooks among the
married is that they know they hdid
their jobs for life and can't be fred
for incompetence, at least that is one
reason; another is, multiplicity of
duties. so various that no particular
one of them can receive due attention,
and still another is, that they have
not the incentive of a weekly pay en-
yelope, and in many years no pay en-
velope at all, even a yearly one.

plined woman, and this is the hour

women Of great wealth who are high

OF them. The business and profession
nj women are also thoroughly trained

His Use for Rrxant,s Portrait.

Actors are reverent souls, and what
they do not know about the men that
have made our poetry and set down
for the rest of us the thoughts that
we had not the time to utter, is of lit
tie moment. 1t is tale of long ago
that the fair-wigged George Rignold,
who played Henry the Fifth in 1875,
and created a tremendous upheaval
among theater-goers all over the coun.-
try, was seated one night in his dress
ing room when caller appeared. A
portrait of the patriarchal looking
William Cullen Bryant was tackled up
over the mirror.
'Ah, Rignold," said the visitor, ''Tm
glad to admire our poet Bryant"
Bryant? Who's hep"
''Why-why-don you know?
That's his portrait you have there"
lis that old file a poet?" Rignold
asked. "Gad didn't know. l got
him for q study in wrinkles"

Bird Guided by Magnetism

One of the many explanations that
have been offered to account for the
fact that migrating birds are able to
find their way by night and in cloudy
or foggy weather is that they are SEN
sitive, in some way. to currents of ter
restrial magnetism, and therefore di-
rect their flight by the magnetic
meridians This suggestion was put
forth by NJ. A. Thauzies, French
pigeon fancier, who declares that car
rier pigeons make poor flights during
the occurrence of magnetic storms. He
also asserts that the general use of
wireless telegraphy has diminished the
reliability of these birds to surpris-
ing extent.-Popular Science Monthly.

LAKE YIELDS TONS OF SALT
Natural Phenomenon in South Austria
liza Constant Source of Revenue
to Its Owner.

On YorkS peninsula, in South Aus
tralia, says writer in the Wide World,
is wonderful lake of pure salt. It
Is huge depression in the earth which
fills up in the winter months. In the
hot summer sun the water quickly
evaporates. leaving thick deposit of
almost pure salt. Seen from a dis
lance the surface of the lake has all
the appearance of being covered with
a sheet of ice. That salt crust is so
thick and strong that men and even
carts and plows can traverse it with
perfect safety. Yet below the crust
there is considerable body of slug
gish water.
After the rays of the summer sun
have played their part, the salt is
gathered. 1t is just raked into heaps,
and these pyramids of salt are strik-
ing feature of the landscape. The salt
is now shoveled into carts and con-
veyed to various works on the sea-
board, to undergo the process of re-
filming. Gathering the salt is trying
work on account of the great heat and
the dazzling reflection. Often it is
necessary for the men to wear colored
glasses to protect the eyes. After the
loose salt has been collected from the
surface special Kind of pillow is run
over it, when another harvest of the
valuable material can be reaped. The
yield of salt from this strange lake
amounts to several thousand tons a
year, and it is among the finest OBJ
tainable. The lake is several square
miles in area and is naturally very
valuable property. .s,.4

PRIMITIVE WAYS IN ARABIA
Mode Of Life Differs Little From
What 1t Was In the Time of
Abraham.

1t appears that in certain parts Of
the Arabian desert life is as primitive
as in Abraham's time. Sheep are
still slain to seal vow. The salt or
bread covenant is observed and when
man dies his tent is torn down and
destroyed.
Old names like Joseph, Moses, Alex
ander, ETC.. are still in common use
among Arabs, although pronounced
"Yusuf," ''Musa" and "Skandar" To
divorce his wife man may repeat the
formula ''Ent telek" three times; usu-
ally uttering it once makes the woman
behave and the repetition is not nee
essary. The evil eye superstition is
common, and the first injunction Civ
en- foreigner by experienced Arabian
travellers is that he must not point at
animals or persons in Arab settle
ments.
Arabs say that man possessed Of
this malign power can look at a bird
flying in the air and it will drop dead;
that If he chooses to cast his wicked
spell on a camel it may go lame, or a
child may be struck blind. None of
the lower class can read or write, but
the Arab is noted for his ready wit
and his habit of speaking in allegory.

DO NOT APPEAL TO VISITOR
Writer Frankly Expresses Feeling of
Disappointment at Sight of Build
ings Within kremlin Walls.

To me none of the ten churches with
in the Kremlin walls is impressive.
Ivan Veliki towers the highest, but it
Is far from imposing. writes Maynard
Owen Williams in the Christian Her
aid. From one side it resembles tow
er rather than church, yet it has no
such quiet dignity as one finds in the
Kutah Minar, near Delhi, or the tow
ering dome of st. Sophia with it's
flanking needle minarets. The other
cathedrals are dropped around with
careless abandon and a nice disregard
for the cost of gold leaf, but none of
them dominates a vista or gathers
about itself the other masses in pleas
ing array. The. Eremlin is a mighty
whole, composed Of many unimposing
parts. It's long red walls and splendid
gates produce an. effect of simple
strength which cannot be found within
their portals.
The interiors are as disappointing
as are the groups of domes which dis
tinguish the exteriors. None is large,
none is truly intimate. The effect is Of
surplus gilt and multiplicity of saints
which remind one of the gopurams Of
India. Spindle-shanked saints, whose
emaciated figures seem too weak to
support their gilt haloes, alternate
with knights in armor.

Give Your Child His Own Room.

In Farm and Fireside, a woman
writing about children says:
1.-THE craving for companionship is
q powerful factor in the life of every
boy or girl, but certain amount of
privacy and wholesome quiet is just
as necessary to the child's develop
ment and happiness. / have known
families where life was made mis-
cradle for everyone because of the
constant pickering and quarrellng
among the children. When the house
was enlarged so that each one could
have his own room, they suddenly lost
their fretful ways, and improved rap
idly in disposition.
at means a great deal to q boy or
girl to know that his small possessions
are sacred from the unsympathetic
eyes and hands of the grown folks. I
have always trained my children to
respect each others rights. Even If
he hasn't room to himself, each child
has certain shelves, drawers and hooks
sacred to his own use"

Sensible Table Discourse.

Speaking of autobiography recipes
for domestic use, there's nothing bet
ter than Benjamin Franklin's descrip-
ton of how the table was managed by
his father when he was a boy. "At
this table he took care to have some
sensible friend to converse with and
he always started a useful topic of
discourse which might improve the
minds of his children. BY this means
he turned our attention to the proper
conduct of life and no critical notice
was ever taken of the victuals on the
table-whether they were cooked well
or i'll, whether they were in season or
put of season. Thus was brought up
to be quite Indifferent as to the kind
of food that was set before me and to
this day if am asked after dinner to
tell what 1 have dined upon I am
scarce able to tell"

spaniards Gave Name to cIoar.


However strange it may appear, 1t
Is well-established fact that the word
cigar is derived, though in a round
about way, from the cicade-that is.
from the Spanish "cigarral," the place
where the cicade Tin Spanish "cigara")
sings-the garden. The name cigarral
is generally applied to kind of pleas
ure garden and summer house Gas in
the cigarrales de Toledo, and in Cuba
in particular to a tobacco garden or
nursery. After the discovery of the
new world the Spaniards who planted
tobacco in their gardens when offering
the plant to their friends were wont
to say: ''Es IN cigarro de mi cigarral,"
as we would say "a flower from our
garden" The name remained.

Dunton released her swiftly. For
so long time had he been lodging
aunts and mammals bent on garnering
his scalp for matrimonial purposes,
that the reaction was almost automat-
ic, and before he could recover him

arms and danced back into the house.

with perhaps dozen or fifteen 9th
ers, Dunton sought shelter from the
sudden downpour In the entrance of a
building on Broadway. The entrance
was not large and it was filed to CO.
padty, but Dunton had not noticed his
fellow refugees particularly until he
felt hand on his arm and a strange
low voice addressed him confidentially.
Il hate PUBLICITY So If you will
just be kind enough to return my
purse, I shall ignore the fact that you
took it."
With a hot feeling of surprised an
ger Dunton looked down into calm
pair of gray eyes. Instinctively he
slipped both hands into the pockets
of his light overcoat, and to his con-
sternation the fingers of his right
hand closed over a strange folded
purse.
"But-but," he protested, withdraw

drew therefrom a new $40 bill. This

out across the sidewalk through the
pouring rain and into a taxi, without

School Children Are underfed.

Of the 100000 school children In
New York city 10000 are undernour-
lshed and in need of attention, while
the condition of $4,000 others is only
''passable," according to DR.. Henry
Dwight Chaplin, head of the childrens
division Of the Postgraduate hospital.
This medical man said much of the
malnutrition Of children is caused by
war prices. He said that the dispar-
tty. between wage increases and the
mounting cost Of food has caused
mothers to give their children tea and
coffee instead of milk, which had in
creased from 9 to 10 cents quart In
the last year.

FORM part of German policy, yet Ger
many would refuse to eliminate in ad-
vance the Belgian question from the gen
eral European settlement. Questions as
to French territory are to be settled be-
tween Germany and France; and as to
Alsace-Lorraine-"the there can never be =
question of dismemberment of imperial
territory" The Presidents demands af-
fecting Austria-the readjustment of
italy's frontier, with cessions of Austrian
territory; autonomy within Austria; evac-
uation of Rumania, Serbia, Montenegro,
together with access to the sea for Serbia
were left to Austria to answer. SINH
lary, Turkish territorial adjustments
were left for the decision of Turkish
statesmen; nevertheless, "the integrity of
Turkey is vital interest of the German
Empire" AS for Poland, that is matter
for Germany and Austria to decide, they
having CELEBRATED Poland from the Gar
istic regime Regarding the Presidents
demand for a league of nations, finally,
Hertling declared that Germany would be
ready to begin the examination of it after
had been settled, if it shall have been
found that the project was "conceived in
spirit of complete justice and impair
tiality."
Count Czernin made a more moderate
speech-at least, in appearance. He
agreed also with the first four points put
forth by President Wilson. In respect to
Poland, he did not brusquely reject the
Presidents demand, as Hertling did, but
expressed the belief that an agreement
could be quickly reached as to including
in the new Polish state "all populations
indubitably Polish" Questions affecting
AustriaHungary's territorial integrity
were apparently not discussed by Czernin,
but he politely but categorically refused
as to the manner in which Austria and
Hungary should manage their internal
administration" and as for the territorial
questions of Germany and Turkey, Aus
triaHungary would be faithful to her en-
gagements to fight to the end in defence
of her allies, would defend the posses
sions of her war allies as she would her
own.'
But the most significant passage in the
whole speech was where Czernin admitted
that he regarded the Presidents propo-
sails as "an appreciabe approach to the
Austro-Hungarian point of view," and the
further declaration chat an exchange of
views between America and Austria Hun
gary might form the starting point for
