Teach the children to help in MAX
ing and keeping the house attractive,
says Mothers Magazine. Needless
marring and scratching of furniture
means money and labor expended
needlessly. If children are taught
how to make small repairs, they will
be interested in the condition of the
house. The saving of fuel and light
should be taught. The careless use OF
fuel Is exactly the same as burning
money. Show them why they leave
the room, and teach them to use the
gas or oil stove economically. When
the boy is old enough to tend the fur
mace, show him how to take care Of
1t properly. He will be interested in
the saving of coal. The amount saved
by the more careful use Of light and
fuel might well be invested in some
thing for the benefit of the whole fam
fly.

OCEANS HARD TO IMAGINE
People of the Middle Ages Found 1t
Difficult to Conceive Extent
of Waters.

Eratosthenes was right; the earth
was globe. But what philosopher
ever imagined that it was so large
Homer was right when he sang of the
mighty food" but he was thinking
of the Insignificant Mediterranean.
What poet had Imagination enough to
picture the vastness of the Pacific!
Many had surmised the truth, but none
had realized its extent. When the
caravels of Columbus had sailed and
returned the wise ones of the Renais-
sance were astonished by the story
brought home. 1t seemed impossible
that there could be so much water.
And still the girth of the seas was
uncomprehended 1t was only when
Magellan's Santa Vittcria had cii@um-
navigated the globe and dropped an
Choir in the Bay of San Lucar that
realization of the world of water be-
gan to dawn. The Atlantic was as
tonishing enough in all conscience /;
but the Pacific was overwhelming and

PROVERBS HELD IN COMMON
Remarkable Similarity of Ideas Noted
Among Nations, Both of the
Old and New World.

The similarity of ideas all over the
world is found in the similarity of ex-
pressions to convey the ideas. The
old English proverb, "a fool and his
money are soon parted" finds Its
counterpart in the phrase, "There is
no medicine for a fool" But the
japanese also claim that by good
management they can do something
even with fools, when they say, Fools
and scissors move according to the
mode of using them" Some of us car
ry our Latin with us all our lives.
just because we had a good teacher.
To these, the cid Latin saying, 1.-THE
eagle does not catch flies" (Aquila non
capt. muscas) will recall old memories
of the pride and sarcasm Of the Ro-
mans. SO also will they be pleased to
read the japanese aphorism, THE fall
con does not peck at ears of corn.H
which is true, as falcons, especially
those of The peregrine type, are much
more likely to seize and carry small
animals like lambs. rabbits, chickens.
