References to Snow in Bible.

The historical books of the Bible con- tain only two notices of snow actually falling: II Samuel 23 20 and Mac cabees 13 :22; but the allus;ons to snow are numerous in the poetical books. At Jerusalem snow often falls to the depth of foot or more in Janu- ary and February. but it seldom lies. At Nazareth it falls more frequently and deeper.

AS It Should Be.

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence; 1t is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious cold ness which this world forces us to war in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communica' tions of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of ten derness gush out without any sensa- tion of awkwardness, and without any dread of ridicule.--F. w. Robertson.
 Boers Stick to Weak Tobacco.

Two Heroes Remembered.

TWO f1cToSS nSWSsnpoTSos
 Jasper county, Indiana, was named In honor of Sergeant Jasper of the Revolutionary army because of his spe. cial patriotism and bravery. He was sergeant in South Carolina regiment and in the attack on Fort Moultrie, early in the war, the flagstaff was shot off and the flag fell to the bottom of the ditch outside of the works. Jump Ing from one of the embrssures, Jasper mounted the colors, tied them to stan and held them in position under hot fire until another flagstaff was brought. For this q commission was ofered him but he declined it through dlstrust of his qualifications. On an- other occasion he ana another sergeant named Newton attacked a British guard of ten men and released some prisoners the guard were conveying to savannah. A township in Jasper coun. " IS named Newton in honor of Jas per's companion on this occasion. A county In Georgia and central square ln savannah help to perpetuate Jas pers name. He was killed at Savannah oear the close of the ,ver.

For Blowing Soap Bubbles.

A recent invention has made the blowing of soap bubbles as safe and sanitary as drinking pasteurized milk. No longer need the youngster steal the soap from the laundry for his bubbles. Instead he uses tiny paper tubes purchased from the nearest drug store. These tubes contain small piece of sterilized soap at one ena The tube is dipped in a glass of clear water. Nor is there any danger of the chlld's cutting himself on broken pipe, as the tube is so constructed that 1t collapses under pressure.

The Old-fashioned merchant buys

purchases are on Il scientific basis.

He probably goes to market four or
five times Il year.
He may br like prominent Dallas
retailer who goes 10 New York five
times Il year hui never buys until he
gets back TO Dallas. where he can Grt
the goods in the atmospher" of where
they will be- sold and used. This
method avoids stocking merchandise
that may b. all right in New York,
but little extreme for Texas.
On the other hand, the buyer for
one Of Kansas City'S biggest depart

all the possible sources of supply Of
merchandise, and when he goes To
market simply combs tho field. Ar
ter "A council Of war with his assist
ants. he buys then and there. What
ever the method followed. it is safe
to say that in both cases these houses
buy in small quantities. They fore

Intensive merchandising Includes
