Low in Human Relationship.

Do we turn for satisfaction to our
human relationships? They are
among our most precious and holy
helps. But our fitness to live witt
others, or to get the good of living
with others, depends chiefly on our ft'
ness to live alone. We must be, In
order to do; we must have wisdom
and love, in order to give them; we
must be just before we can put rec
titude into conduct. We cannot ever
speak the truth, as 1t deserves to be
spoken unless we are true. A wise
pagan says, slow much sincere life
the gods exact before we can speab
a sincere word PC. G. Ames.

Mirror Or Window.

It appears that some time ago there
was invented a mirror that can be
made translucent at will, so that wheE
placed in show window 1t at first re
fleets the faces of persons looking in
but suddenly turns transparent, where
upon the spectators see the contents
of the window in place Of their owl
reflections This is effected by mean
of a thin film on the back Of the glass
which, when the background is dark
reflects the light, but when the back
ground is Illuminated, becomes as in
visible as a pane Of clear glass.

that longevity has been greatly d.

seven or eight hundred years, before
the flood, life is now reduced to sew
ty or eighty years; that any man who
writes without the Deluge before his
eyes, and handles subject as If men
could lounge ten long years over a
pamphlet, commits one of the most
grevious wrongs against humanity. 1t

Il can remember a break my first
wife made when we were newly mar
ried. She invited some folks TO dinner
and, after much deliberation. decided
to have n roast duck as the chief dish.
and told the hired girl to 20 ahead
and prepare the bird, Now. a duck is
mighty fine eating, what there is Of it.
but there is mighty little substance to
it. a duck is a mere shell. 1t doesn't
run to meat at all. a good hungry
man could eat three ducks at . sit
ting and look around for more.
MY wife, who had lived at hotels
and boarding houses all her life, sup
posed a duck was a solid chunk of
meat and thought there would be
enough of the bird left, after the din
ner, to keep US in cold meat for a
week. Well, there were eight people
at that dinner party and each one
had piece Of duck about the size of
a one-cent stamp.
Everybody but my wife thought the
mistake was funny, but the most su-
pertcial observer could see at a glance
that her heart was broken. She tried
her blamedest to smile, but right in
the middle of the effort she broke
off with a yell, and left the room 10
