THEODORE ROOSEVELT

The following dedication appears in biograph cal sketch of the ilustrious American whose birth day occurred on October 27, 61 years ago.
 He was found faithful over few things and he was made ruler many he cut his own trail clean and straight and millions followed him to- ward the light He was frail; he made himself tower of strength. He was timid; he made him. self lion of courage He was dreamer; he be- came one of the great doers of all time. Men put their trust in him; women found champion in him; kings stood in awe of him; but children made him their playmate. broke nations slumber with his cry, and it rose up. He touched the eyes of blind men with flame that gave them vision. Souls became swords through him; swords became exacted loyalty; he loved many lands but he loved his own land the best He terrible in battle but tender to the weak; joyous and tireess, being free from self-pity; clean with cleanness that wealth. class his friendship, creed or color or race His courage stood every onslaught of savage beast and ruthless man. of loneliness of victory of defeat His mind was eager, his heart true his what might come He fought injustice and tyranny bore sorrow gaantly loved all nature, bleak spaces and hardy companions, hazardous adventure and the zest of battle Wherever he went he carried his own pack; and in the uttermost parts of the earth he kept his conscience for his guide.

Mirrors Made Useful.

Mirrors are great aids in the little
house, for they give vistas and reflect
distances in most charming and very
realistic way. One Of the most satis-
factory examples Of their being able
to effect spaciousness Is seen in a
much frequented restaurant! The din
ing room is very long, but unbelievably
narrow. Indeed, ordinarily, it wouldn't
do for the purpose ut all, for folk
would have a distressed smothered
feeling between the two close walls.
But the actual size OF the restaurant
is more than doubled in illusion, be-
cause the walls are solid mirrors from
end to end. so that one has the impress
sion that the place is without walls,
and locking through the mirrors.
which. of course. reflect one another
from opposite sides OF the room. the
tables and people and lights and flow
ers spread far beyond the power OF
the eye to follow. and there is felt an
exhilaration and freedom which the
little restaurant and the small crowd
of dipers could not pretend to give OF
themselves.

Some ,nspired BY Poster?

Il Is an interesting bit of history, IN
view. Of the Importance Of posters as
an Inspiration and Interpretation OF
patriotism, that the Marseillaise was
inspired by a contemporary poster. At
first thought one might imagine that
the art of the poster. as it is now un-
derstood, was unknown in 1892. but the
proclamation of the mayor of StrasS-
burg. with it's terse, ringing sentences,
beginning "To arms. citizens" was no
doubt as effective as the posters pro-
duced in 1918. Posted on the city
walls. as Jean Richepin Of the French
academy has just pointed out. the
words of the proclamation directly in
spired Rouget de Lisle in the compost
ton of the "Marseillaise," or. as it was
first called. ''The War Song Of the
Armies of the Rhine" Later the con-
vention at Paris entitled it the Hymn
of Marseilles," but the public promptly
named it "La Marseillaise." aud 1t
might almost be said to have set the
mayors poster to music.-Cilristian

THEORY OF ODD NUMBERS
~ Far Back as Can Be Traced, Sapsr
stitlen Has Held Them
IN Reverence.

sWhy IN 4 hen given an odd num-
Der of eggs to hatch and never an
even numberr q writer In Tit-Bits
asks. He answers himself by saying
that it is all matter Of superstition
and that, despite eur advanced civili'
xstion we still cling to things OF the
musty past.
saiutes from warsbips, forts. etc,
are always given in odd numbers, he
explains, with no valid reason, other
than the old theory that the odd num-
Ner was always lucky.
Virgil records all sorts Of charms
and spells practiced around odd num-
hers and never an even one.
People still say, after two failures,
that q third attempt may be success

Seven is the favorite biblical num-
ber, and old divines taught that 1t
held a mystical perfection. Three Is

Reverence for Life.

Only place all life before the child
as within the realm Of humanity, and
thus the greater reveals to him the
less. Put life and soul into every
thing: describe to him even the lily,
which he would pull up as an unorgan-
lied thing, as the daughter Of Slen-
der mother. standing in her garden
bed. from whom her little white off
spring derives nutriment and moisture.
And let not this be done to excite an
empty enervated habit Of pity, a sort OF
incubation hospital for foreign pains,
but from the religious cultivation OF
reverence for life. the God all-moving
in the tree top and the human brain.
The love of animals. like material af-
fectfons. has this advantage, that it is
disinterested and claims no return, and
can also at every moment find an Oh.
iect and an opportunity for it's exer-
cise.-Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Red RAD to a Bull.

How many people know the real
meaning of the phrase "Iike red rag
to bull?"
Why should bull. or any other crea-
ture. he enraged when piece of scar
let cloth is flaunted before them? For
bulls are not alone in this. Sheep. Is'i-
ally so meek and gentle, will appar-
emily become transported with rage
II they see anything of this color.
Geese and turkeys are similarly affect
ed-the former even having been
known to attack a scarlet-clad child.
The excitement animals display in
such circumstances is similar to that
caused by the smell Of blood. Here
is the theory: The color reminds the
animals of blood, an association which
invariably suggests bodily discomfort
and hurt. So they express their terror
by the only means they possess.

Perfect Automobile Springs.

The comfort, of the passengers in An
automobile is to great degree depend
ent upon the character of the springs
of the vehicle. These May be adjusted
to suit the loads by means Of a new
invention of French origin. At each
end of the rear springs is an elongated
slot, in which the eyebolts can be
moved by lever or wheel at the driv-
er's seat. The effect Of altering the
position of the bolts Is TO lengthen or
shorten the springs, thus decreasing or
increasing their stiffness and resist
ance. Definite positions or stepping
peints are provided for the sliding
bolts, so that the driver may adjust
his springs to a specific number OF
passengers.

HAD ODD TIME MEASURERS
Variou. Ways by Which the Ahcients
Kept Some Track Of the Fast
FIeeting Hours.

Sacred history furnishes the earl!-
est reference to anything like fixed
and permanent time meaSurer. Isaiah
speaks of the dial of AhaZ which went
ten degrees backward, and this dial,
it has been conjectured. was tall and
slender column, which cast shadow
on a series OF steps with which it was
encireled.
The Egyptians, too. are credited with
having used their monoliths, such as
Cleopatra's needle, as time measurerS.
However. the ChaldeanS had other
methods of measuring time, for they.
as we'll as the contemporary Hindoos'
and very likely the Egyptians, were
acquainted with the water clock or
ciepsydra, which measured time after
the fashion of the hour glass, water
taking the place of sand.
Indeed, it is believed that the hgyp-
tians actually had hour glasses. ror
upon one of the bas-reliefs which nave
come to light after their long inter-
ment of 1900 years or more Is an
object which those learned t" such
matters assure us can be nothing else
than sand glass.
In principle the clepsydra was noth-
ing but a rod floating upon water
which was slowly dropping from an
orifice in the vessel in which 1t was
contained. Certain divisions were
marked upon the rod. and a hxea
pointer served the purpose of clock

But the Greeks, who seem to nave
