More Than a Sign Post.

There was once detective story written whose point lay in the manner iI which very familiar figure may escape observation. In the tale several persons swore no one had entered a certain building during a certain space of time. Afterward 1t was proved that the postman had visited the place at his accustomed time, but long habit had rendered him psyche logically invisible to the witnesses.
 So 1t is with the familiar figures upon our streets. How many times a day we may pass by the traffic cop, without perhaps realizing that he is something more than an animated sign post, until some act of courtesy awak- ems us to the fact that "cop" is sim ply man, and a gentleman at that. For, in spite of the many aggravations that must come during a day of direct ing traffic, most of these officers re tain their good temper, and even go out of their way to assist or direct some passer-by.-Omaha World Her aid.

GOT MESSAGE FROM LIGHT
Famous Man of Letters Tells of Pc culiar Effect Simple Happening
 Had on Schoolboy.

A friend of mine-an old painter, who went to school in the north of Scotland-described to me his experi- ence. The dominic had one morning been particularly drastic in his meth- ods, and this led to great concentra- ton of thought among the pupils, while at the same time it did not in the least alter the usual current Of their ideas. My friend, for instance. busied himself as usual, observing form and color, only with keener zest and, as I have said. a more con- centrated purpose. It was a spring morning, and, for the first time that year, a ray of sunshine came into the room, making a square of yellow light on the dusty floor at his feet. It was only at that particular period of the year such a thing was possible; later on there would be too many leaves on the trees. and in winter the sun was not in that quarter of the heavens. My friend was an unhappy and anxious schoolboy, but the events of that morn- ing and the menaces of the dominic. combined with the sudden sunlight at his feet, made new boy of him, and he looked at the square of brightness which stirred his heart. He received, as 1t were, his mystical message; and some time afterward, leaving school, he became landscape painter.-John Butler Yeats.

Water for House Plants,

Water is essential to the life o1 plants, whether they be in the oper ground or in pots, for only In the form of solutions in water can the roots suck up the juices of the earth. and 1t is the water circulating through the channels of the trunk and branches that permits the exchanges between the leaves and the rest of the vege- table.
 Plants in house should not be watered at regular stated intervals do the plants out-Of-doors receive rain on Tuesdays and Saturdays? They should be watered whenever they need 1t. This is the only safe rule. And we can tell when they need 1t by feel ing the earth In which they are grow ing; so long as this feels moist the plants do not need water.

KEYS-THEiR USE AND ABUSE
Concerning the Inventions of Lock. smiths and the Disadvantages of
 Being Locked Out.

The key is an acknowledgment of mans depravity. If every man respect ed his neghbor's goods and privacy, we should not be burdened with carrying keys, in bags or pockets, hunting for them in a panic. and frequently losing or mislaying them. We have the care Of a door key, an office key. a trunk key; safety-box key (if we are cou- pon-cutters) our locker key, if we are sports, and automobile and garage keys, if we own these luxurles. Keys naturally multiply with our outward prosperity. Diogenes. living In tub, was happy man, as far as the re- sponsibility of keys went, and although some people might prefer more roomy apartments for a permanency, at least Diogenes wasn't obliged to turn his toga pockets inside out in a vain at tempt to locate his key-when return. ing to the tub after brief sojourn at the club.
 Key-rings, upon which you can con. centrate your responsibilities, are sometimes desirable; on the other hand, if lost, the whole bunch must be replaced I consider the mode of the public bath frequenter, that of wear ing the bath-house key on rubber ring around the neck, preferable to any other method. It absolutely cannot be lost, unless the bather is eaten by a shark.-Esther G. Babson, in Boston Transcript.

Killarney" Not Out of Place.

Life at best pays back rather limit ed dividends, and knowing this. we should as we journey along times thoroughfares, try, whenever the op- portunity offers, to bring smile to tired lips. Even though we must re- sort to a ''bit of blarney" if we would accomplish. this happy result we cer- tainly should do so. Such course may displease the person who brides herself on calling spade spade every time, but folks who approve of toning down, as 1t were, the sharp edges of life, will feel no twinges of conscience for playing such d role, for there is all the difference in the world between base flattery and true and merited approval.-Exchange.

shrewdest schemes born in the mind of man.
The history of the Russian people lyas been sad

flmy dreams of those persons who would divide the
wealth of the universe among the workers and the non
producers would dsntegrate. The promise held out to
the Russian masses that had known the pride OF
possession the bright hope of home ownership And
that promise has been kept The result is that the people
have been welded together to point where Bernard Shaw
pronounced them the most stable country of the Old
