rest of the family sits dear old lady, a grandmother, perhaps. Her, hair is siIvery gray and falls softly about the head. Her face has a peaceful look of content. Her cheeks are pink, even though wrinkles express. a mothers worries. Hen eyes once a soft blue, now of a grayish hue
 Her shoulders are still broad and her body erect and stately She wears q black silk dress, trimmed with many tucks and frills. It is plenty wide around the bottom for grandmother likes room to step. Across her shoulders is a knitted shawl of black and white, made by those same sweet hands that patted pill lows and made her loved ones happy. Her hands are knitting a pair of socks for siX-year-old grandson. She wears no iewelry save silver brooch, a dear and rare keepsake.
 The evening like all others passes quickly and quietly away to the hum of grandmother's song and. the click of her needles. Grandmother is getting tired and her needles cease after a while to click. her head begins to nod and finally rests on the chair back. Her knitting has dropped from her lap to the floor where a gray roly-poly kitten immediately un- revels patient stitches The big old chair that came all the way with. grand mother from England is just comfortable for a dear old lady like. her fast asleep.
 Take one more peep at her. Doesn't she give the picture of content and peace?

 II was the idea of this schoollnaster to 50 direct the education of his pupils as to make men of them in every sense of the word He made due allowance for his material but he builded in keeping there with
 IL might be expected that such a teach CT would have a long list of things to do and an equally long list of don'ts. Such was not SO. There was in fact just the opposite for there was but one do and one 'on't These were: "Boys. always tell ths truth. and Boys. do'''t do any thing on the sly"
 He well recognized the importance of trutafuiacss. fia knew that lying was one of the big avenues that lead to evil. He talked snd fought against deception and never failed to impress his pupils with

rhe Mystery shihs.

One of the towers which have been constructed by the admiralty was moved. from .Shoreharn Sept. i2 to Portsmouth. The towers have been object of much curiosity and coniec- ture as to their ultimate use, and as mystery ships" AccSrding to a statement Of the admiralty, one of the towers is to be used at Portsmouth for defense and as q navigation mark.
 Each of the towers is 1S5 feet in height, the first four tiers being of hollow blocks of reinforced concrete; hexagonal in shape. Nearly to0, coo of these blocks have been used in each ship, and the total weight of concrete used is about 9,O00 tons. The steel work of the super structure weighs, roughly, another 1000 tons. In spite of all this. the dfaught when afloat is only IA feet, so that almost ITO feet ar;~es. above the surface of the water
 Score of pipes lead from an emerg ency deck on the steel super structure to holes in the concrete decks. and when the ship is in position liquid concrete will be poured into these lsoIes to fill every hollow concrete block in the hull" Thus she will be gradu- ally. sunk until she. rests on the. bottom of the sea-a block of concrete solic ] eenough apparently to rea1ain tf1ere i forever.

Sunshine Song. The thing that goes the farthest - T'wards making life worth while, That costs the least and does the most, Is just a pleasant smile. Tho smile that bubbles from the heart, That loves it's fellow man, . Wfl drive away the clouds of gloom \ And coax the sun again. There is room for sadness When we see a cheery smile. IL always has the same good look, It's never out of style. It nerves us on to try again, When failure mates US blue; The dimples of encouragement Are good for me and you To smile is very easy.
 When skies are bright and clear, And yet how oft we all forget The magic of a tear It sparkes round the heart-strings Through many a " cary day; It lifts the clouds of sorrow, And drives them all away. Oh it's full worth and goodness too, With many kindness blend It's worth a million dollars. And it does not cost cent.

 Wash iron, bake or scrub?' No! No !s said the girls all at once We have servants to do those things Cant you sew?" asked the country girl
 v Well" said one of them, q made ar apron once, but it was so poorly done l that my mother had to rip it all out
 Well" said the country girl, q would be ashamed to be as helpless as you are i to be like a baby and have some one tc wait on me.

i the part it played in crime and blackened futures.
 Doing things on the sly is simply de- ception. It is endeavoring to do what is well recognized as being wrong under the idea that someone else will get the blame for it. It is knowingly being dishonest and letting others be subjected to suspi- | cion. It is directly against that old say ing that honesty is the best policy. for persisted in there is no telling where it will lead to.
 The Tennessee school teacher had an old-fashioned policy but having drilled it into his pupils it was not for lack of knowing better if any of his boys went wrong.
