why Cherish a erudne2

II we are big and genial enough TO
include the good qualities of partial
saints, we shall have abundant ground
for joy and tliankfulness. What
good world it is, where so many gra-
cious qualities are ripening, slowly,
perhaps, but evidently. Even where
we have TO set Off some gift or attain
ment against some crooked remainder
OF lll-wlil or immaturity, why shogld
we yex our souls by too much liager-
ing on the weakness? There are all
sorts Of collections In the worlG--plc-
lures and coins and postage stamps
and furniture and china. But the
least satisfactory collection Of all for
any man TO make is cherished gath
ering Of grudges. And, really, since
we ourselves are only halfway saints
and have often given occasion for
stumbling IN the past to others, per-
haps we would be happier IL we hur-
rled our whole collection OF these SOU
venirs Of dislike TO the furnace, where
they really belong.-Boston Tran
script.

Making AIrplane Invisible.

Many efforts have been made TO
make the airplane Invisible from the
earth when 1t is soaring through the
ether One idea calls for the use Of
transparent material, at least for all
purposes where canvas covering is
used at present, such as the wings and
the fuselage. One OF the latest ideas
of the kind is said to be an airplane
which uses noninhaminable cellulold
for the wings and other parts, and
when. flying at few hundred feet ele-
walton the apparatus is quite invisible,
according TO reports. A new muhling
box on the motor serves to deaden the
sound. One advantage of the trans
parence IS that observations can be
made In all directions.

If yon lie over on your side and are
real quiet You will get well quick and
