Artistic Chinese Work.

Little iudc trees growing sturdny in
bowls Of the luresl cloisonne and bear
ing upon the intricately carved
branches, clustered close to the cool
green of the Jade leaves, wonder fruits
OF coral and amber and delicately
wrought blossoms Of the translucent
white Jade, might be memory Of the
Arabian Nights and Aladdln's lamp
They might be, but they are not.
They are tributes to the infinite pa.
thence and skill Of the Chinese artisan
In semiprec!ous stones, and the zeal
OF the collector who buys with Ameri.
can gold the treasures of the Far East
and gloatinglv carries them back
across the Pacific for the delight Of a
luxury loving people.
They are EXPENSIVE, but they repre-
sent not only the Toll of years but the
expression Of the artists soul.

Watch and Wait.

While it Is true that we never know
what trouble or disaster may befall
u.s. we likewise never know what great
opportunity is going 10 come into our
lives from an unexpected quarter If
we read the lives of the men * our
country who have risen FROM poverty
and obscurlty to the greatest heights
Of success, we find that there were
certain times in their lives when great
opportunities presented themselves,
that much Of the success Of these men
was due to the fact that they we're
able to take advantage Of such oppor-
tuuities when they came.
How often have we witnessed the
unhappy spectacle OF some man failing
to rise TO the complete possibilities Of
opportunity as result Of thriftless-
ness
Thriftlcss habits viii undermine any
character and eventually lead to ruin.

HAD TO DISTINGUISH JOHNS
Too Many Boy Babies Were Given
That Name During Early Days
Of the Christian Era.

In the early days OF the Christian
era 1t was very common thing to
make a pilgrimage 10 the Holy land,
being an evidence of Christian de-
votlon. II was also the custom for
these pilgrims to carry with them a
bottle for the purpose of bringing
back a quantity of the water OF the
Jordan, which was used for baptismal
purposes.
Happy was the mother who could
secure a few drops Of that water with
which 10 baptize her child. All boy
babies who were thus favored by for
tune were invariably named John, ar
ter John the Baptist. II would seem
that the world had gone John crazy.
So common did this custom become
that It was necessary to adopt yari-
Gus methods of distinguishing one
John from another. Hence the or
lgin of Httlejohn. Pettyjohn, Michael
john, Upjohn, Downtown and Ben
John. The latter is the word from
which the name OF the immortal Bun
yam was corrupted. Upjohn lived In
the mountains and Downtown or Don
john in the valley. The other Johns
are self-explanatory.

WORK AT IMMENSE DEPTHS
Carry on Observations Far Below
Surface OF Ocean.

The average depth at which diver
can work is from $50 to 200 feet. Until
1907 It was not possible for divers to
work at great depths, but In that year
the British government perfected appa-
ratus which was used 200 feet be-
low the surface, and in 1915, when
a torpedo boat sank at Honolulu,
divers of the United States navy
reached depth Of 2S8 feet.
over a year ago John T. Turner OF
Philadelphia, went down 800 feet and
reached the bed of the ocean 16 miles
east Of Graves Light, near Boston.
While this feat was proclaimed
worlds record, an investigation OF
records by the Scientific American dis
closed the fact that 1t was still foot
less than previous record.
In a demonstration in Grand Trav-
erse Bay, Mich, in October, 1916.
r. r. Leavltt descended to a depth
OF 361 feet in new diving armor OF
which he is the inventor, and remained
under for 45 minutes.

Advertisers at First Shy.

II took several years after the es-

John Campbell, the postmaster OF Bos-

News Letter. the first real newspaper
In this country had great difficulty in
persuading his tOWnspeople to adver-
tise their wares or their wants.
William Bradford and Peter Zenger

Franklin. for many years after he be-
gan the publication OF the PennSyl-
vanla Gazette, found his advertising
columns very meager After 1850,
however, the reluctance to advertise
died away and all the leading papers
showed that they were wen sup
ported.

CULTIVATE HABIT OF THRIFT
Practice Means That One VIII Be
Ready to Seize Opportunity
When II Comes.

Practice thrift habitually. Make It
as much part Of your routine as
eating and sleeping Get yourself sys-
tematzed Work ON definite sched-
ule Save regular amounts. Plan your
work and your actions SO that you
will have no idle time, no lost motion,
no wasted energy.
These are among the secrets of sue
cess, happiness and progress
The time To begin the cultivation of
thrift habits is now.
The most important message that
can be conveyed to the people of this
nation today is Get the thrift habit"
Practice thrift not for a brief inter-
val or Internationally but habitually.
Disraeli said, The greatest secret
of success in life is to be ready when
your opportunity comes"
This brief sentence furnishes one Of
the best reasons for pracuclng thrift
that ever has been given. 1t presents
a phase Of the question to which not
enough attention is paid Ordinarily
thrift is looked upon as a means Of
safeguarding one against possible
emergencies or Of building up an ac-
emulation Of money for some definite
purpose. But there are many unex-
pected turns in the pathway of llfe.--
