ginning OF Success From Little Act
That Seemed insionff,eant

In System Leopold wertheImer de-
scribes the methods that helped his
business grow from a tiny shop to
chain OF five big department stores In
New York city. Speaking OF his start
In business, he says:
One Of the merchandising plans
that 1 learned the first day In my little
store Is that the unusual courtesies
which merchant gives his customers
are often the most appreciated. AS a
corollary to that, the man or woman
who actually spends the money Is not
always the most profitable person to-
ward whom a merchant can direct his
good-wlll-building efforts.
"One Of my first customers was 4
nursemaid who hesitated In front Of
the door; just what to do with the
baby carriage seemed puzzle. I
stepped over. held open the door and
said: Madam. baby carriages are

Animals With Third EyeIId.

Sir John Bland-Sutton, senior sur
geon of Middlesex Hospital Medical
school In London, is authority for the
statement that all animals, except men
and monkeys, possess a third eyelid.
Many people have noticed how birds,
notably the turkey, operates this third
lid by means Of special muscles. The
turkey Is constantly winking without
knowing that 1t does 50. The third lid
in this case is an opaque white cur
tain. but In certain birds and animals,
and in some fishes. the third lid is a
transparent covering. The lizard Of
trans-Caspian deserts uses its trans
parent lid as protection against sand,
while the American fish known as the
star-gazer uses it effectively for watch
ing its prey. 1t is interesting to note
that the prey is secured through the
operation of powerful electrical mus
cles, and considerably over so small
swimming fish SO caught have been
found in the interior Of a star-gazer.

WALKING Mouse Goinu.

And what about waltzing mice?
There was n time when they were
as common as goldfish, the Minneap-
olis Journal states.
Pet lovers would house dizzy fam.
lilies of them. They would whiri
around. in pairs. on any small space,
such as an inverted tumbler, till they
looked like spokes in a black and
white wheel.
But nowadays, II you decided to
make jolly present to your youngest
nephew, you couldn't find japanese
waltzing mouse in the country.
1t Is true that their dervish dance Is
out OF date in this age Of shimmy
shakers. But that doesn't account for
their extinction.
The war, which took so many lives,
reached even to the mouse world

trio little creatures, according to Ed

The Value Of Being Chilled.

Most plants that grow in a cold cli-
mate must be chilled before they can
bear fruit. A tree, however. does not
become dormant merely because cold
weather has arrived. but rather be.
cause the time has come for it to rest.
Nature has the next generation ever
in mind. So every tree or shrub that
becomes dormant has stored away an
ample supply Of food. The food is
usually in the form Of starch, which
must be converted into sugar before il
is fl for the plant 10 use. To convert
the starch into sugar organic substances
known as eSzymes, which are found
in various cells OF the plant, must come
into contact with it. Chilling or freez-
ing breaks down the walls Of the food
cells and allows the engines to reach
the starch and turn il into sugar.
You can see how necessary the cold
is TO plant il you will make the follow
ing experiments. Take a fruit tree or
a shrub and put il into the greenhouse
as soon as the sap has ceased to run,
but before really cold weather has come.
Then cut hole in the wall Of the
greenhouse, thrust a part OF the plant
through the opening, and leave it ex-
posed TO the weather. The part that has
been subjected to the cold will blossom
profusely in the spring and bear fruit
in its season; the part that has been
kept in the warm greenhouse will do
neither.
So when we see the trees on the lawn
Drawing the zero weather we need not
pity them, for they are passing through
an experience that is necessary il they
are TO bear fruit next year
What is true Of trees is true also OF
human beings. II we study the lives
OF the great men, we shall find that
they pass through periods Of discour-
agement, sorrow and disappointment,
and that those periods are what make
their lives fruitful. We can find COM
fort in the thought that, just as the
trees and the shrubs must be chilled
if they are to flourish and bear fruit.
80 the sorrows, disappointments and
hardships that come to us make our
lives bloom with moral beauty and be-
come fruitful in worthy achievement.

The Dead Engine.

For several miles the road that the
pedestrian was following ran near the
railway track. There was a long up
grade, and as he walked along freight
train with two engines rounded bend
behind him and started up the slope.
A small engine was in front; behind it
was powerful engine with eight heavy
drivers. The train had gone only a
short way when the small engine began
to puff and tug; ii seemed to be putting
into the work every bit of power il had,
up the grade.
The man was astonished, for the train
was not long; the big engine should
have been able to pull it easily.
Then he realized what was the mat
ter. The big engine was dead; there
was no fire in its furnace, no steam in
its boiler. To be sure, the big drivers
were pounding round and round, so that
it appeared to be doing its share Of the
work; but as matter OF fact IL was
doing no work at all and was a mere
dead weight on the small engine.
AS the pedestrian strolled on he
thought many times OF the train with
the dead engine. II reminded him of
homes in which one partner leaves the
cares and responsibilities to the other
when both should share them. II re-
minded him Of churches in which a few.
carry the burdens that ought 10 be dis
tributed on the shoulders OF many.
1t reminded him of the nation in which
even in high places there are strikers
who do little to increase the prosperity
and dignity Of the country.
But most Of all it reminded him Of the
kingdom of heaven, in which we ought
to work for Righteousness side by side
with the Master. How kind and will
ing He is! How ready to help! But
how unworthily we fill our places at his
side! How often we shirk our duty.
But, bearing with our weaknesses,
Christ, the True Friend, not only carries
on the work Of the kingdom but also
as an added burden carries us, who
alas! hinder more than we help, and
brings us at last with Him to the Jour.
ney's end.

There is mine shaft in Chile that
happens to dip at exactly the proper
angle to catch Mars at the zenith sew
eral times during 1924, when the
planet will be nearer the earth than at
any other time within a century. Ac-
cprdingly an American astronomer
plans to use the shaft as the barrel Of
a huge telescope and ventures to think
that he can get magnification Of 25,-

Mars apparently within a mile and a
