"If Madeira is to be the st. Helena

monarchs from Napoleon to VIII

times as densely as Connecticut yet
some of its valleys are all but un-

tropics and the oak of the temperate
zone grow up together.
Vehicles Go On Runners
1.-The vehicles OF Funchal, capital
of Madeira, go on instead OF
on wheels, because of its steep and
%ecipito streets. These often are
fitted out as lu%xuriously as a troika
of Moscow or Petrograd. but they
are drawn by oxen instead of horses.
The characteristic carrier of Fun
chal, however. is a low, cushion
seated sled. in which a passenger
sits and slides TO the bottom of the
steep streets. The unners are haul
ed across a grease bag by two attend
ants before the passenger is started
on a bumpy ride over cobbled pave
ments.

as the only enemy of Japan?
TWO. Why, after twenty-odd
years of scrupulous observance OF
the open door doctrine. which doc

nations. should the United States be
singled out as blocking Japan's way
to expansion in Asia?
THREE. Why should Japan-and

And it was not so hard but that l
found time for some good reading.
Hard physical labor is good for men.
And so is hard mental labor. the
harder the better. Most of u work
is not hard enough; it does not COM
pei us to do our best.
But worry will kill any man who
let's it prey upon him.
The man who al work and sleep
ana not worry will eve die in the
insane asylum and is not likely to
die in the poorhouse.
And when he dies he will not die
from overwork, no matter how hard
he works.
Work is a great blessing. and most
of us do not do enough of 1t to keep
as healthy as we ought to be.
No one works himself to death
Ard no one ought to worry him
self to death.
1t does not pay.

II you're sure you'll continue to love her
When, after the honeymoons through
You fnd-as most husbands discover
Her ways were too good to be true;
If you won't mind her wearing a wrapper
or putting cold cream on her brow;
If you're sure you won't jump up and slap her
For some slight homestead row:
If you think you'll continue to love him
When, after the honeymoon's end,
The idiosyncrasies of him
Prove quite an astonishing blend:
If you think you can stand him unshaven
And smoking a reeking dudeen;
If you won't mind the way he'll behave in
The days you are getting things clean:'
If you won't mind his being quite human
And sometimes a little bit less;
If you won't mind her being a woman
Instead of an angel. / guess,
In spite of some intervals scrappy,
Some boredom and friction and jar,
You'll find yourselves fully as happy
AS average married folks are!
