That night when all was still and
the water at the Fountain had been
turned off. big tree. swaying over
the river, spoke to ii.
Little River. 1 heard you complain
ing today that the big fountain was
very beautiful and you wished you
were like it." said the Tree.
"Oh, yes. but l am only lowly lit
tie river and can never hope to be
like the lovely Fountain" replied Lit
tie River
"Yes, the Fountain is beautiful"
that it is your water that supplies
the beautiful Fountain and If you
were not here there would be no
Fountain"
Little River almost forgot to move.
II was so surprised. 1T cannot be
true" 1t said. 81 never could get up
there; you must be mistaken"
'It is true" said the Tree, 'the
water that sparkles and flashes at
the Fountain comes from here. 1t Is
true that some man-made power
forces it to the fountain bed, but the
water comes from you, Little River,
so do not envy the Fountain any more
for without you the Fountain would
not be beautiful"
The next morning, In the sunlight
the Little River ran so swiftly over
the. rocks and stones that it almost
jumped from its bed. 1t was so hap
py, and the big Fountain looking
down upon 1t wondered how 1t could
seem so joyous.
But though the Fountain was as
| beautiful as before, Little River was
never again envious for was II not
from it that the Fountain got Its
| beauty?
Little River never stopped TO tell
the Fountain what it knew. 81 could
not be any happier" said Little River,
land II might make the Fountain sad
TO know that its loveliness came FROM
a lowly little river"

glow and color only perfect cleanli-
ness can lend, and making one feel
young and fresh as never before.
In some ways the bath has been the
salvation OF Turkey and Greece. Their
women lead sedentary lives, spending
their time dressing. eating. and sleep
ing. This condition is changing MS the
countries are waking up TO modern
culture, but the general fact Is still
true. Lives spent like this mean that
great layers of flesh accumulate, that
the skin becomes clogged, the system
sluggish, the brain and liver torpid
the whole being desires only more of
the useless laziness. But the Turkish
woman attends the bath every week,
where she Is steamed, scrubbed, mas
saged, lathered. and rinsed with hot
and cold water, till her skin is free
from every impurity and her whole
system Is rejuvenated and refreshed.
If you cannot take regular Turkish
baths. get a cabinet and take steam
baths at home.
Tincture OF benzoin-not patent
ed article at all-is a good astring-
ent. Wash the face with hot water
and lio.id green soap, rinse with
hot, then cold water and put few
drops of the tincture In this last rinse.
1t simply closes the pores.

IF EVERY woman who thinks that
i her regular bath Is keeping her
skin clean, could see the amount OF
dead cuticle and dirt and oily matter
that the masseuse In a Turkish bath
place gets out OF the skin Of q "clean"
person-she would certainly become
q regular patron Of these bath places.

Of most folks. unfortunately. since
only the larger towns possess them.

COMFORT IN BABY'S SMILE
Az Writer Says, Little Children Ars the Stars That Illuminate the
 Pathway of Life.

The other afternoon l was going to the store in the village where I live and saw coming toward me a pleas ant-faced lady leading by the hand the finest little chap you ever saw. He couldn't have been more than year and a half old, had on a jaunty little cap and clothes to match, had 8 sweet, round, serious little face with great beautiful brown eyes. He was indeed a little fellow to admire and love. He was prettier than any pie ture and l looked him full in the face as he passed, my heart full of happy thought at the sight of such a charm ing little man. He looked straight back at me and, with the same seri- Ous look in his great eyes, gracefully saluted me with two or three gentle up-and-down motions of his little hand. repaid him with a loving and ap- preciative smile, and was repaid with an answering smile from the proud and happy mother. Dear little fellow! l have thought of him a score of times since. and shall again and again recall his recognition of 8 gray-head- ed, old man whom he happened to meet as he was starting where l most earnestly hope thousand beautiful things and splendid experiences await him.
 Could anything after all be more touching than a wave of the hand from a baby just beginning the voy- age across life's seas to an old vOy- ager whose sea-worn shallop has al- most reached It's last anchorage? The little children! Unchanged by all the turmoil and pain and perplexity and catastrophes of the world, as inno- cent and hopeful and confident today as they were in the ancient days when the world was new with it's record Of sin and sorrow unwritten.
 They are indeed the salt that pre- serves the race from becoming stale and hopeless. They are the stars that illumine the dark night of human life, the flowers that delight the eye, the treasures which enrich hundred mill lion homes and keep alive hope and sanity and courage in countless hearts. The little children are indeed the hope of the world. To them the old and weary world will pass the torch of endeavor and the problems of life and the burdens of labor and thought, and their brave young spirits will laugh at the responsibilities thus forced upon them and "carry on" till they in turn pass the burden to other fresh, yOur,' enthusiasts.-Roand Cortheil. in Bos- ton Transcript.
