SENTTNELsS ON THE. WIRE

In your home, on the wall, hid
den away in an unnoticed place
is a rather dusty black metal
box. Times a plenty you've
looked into it and perhaps
noticed six Or eight white and
brass plugs to which are at
tached electric wires. Surely
nothing could be less romantic
or interesting than these plugs.
Yet they are each a silent SEN
tinel-alwayS alert-guarding
electric wires from family
carelessness. Back in the local
power station-where the cleo
fric current is made-are more
'ent sentinels. Uninterrupted
ice depends upon coOpera-
tic between company and
conSumer-all along the line.
If the consumer uses too many
electrical appliances on one
wire, an overload" occurs and
the sentinel-the fuse-warns
you, 1t puts the home lights
out, thus preventing other and
more dangerous electrical
trouble. A new fuse-replac-
ing the one that has burnt out
-mendS the trouble unless, Of
course, the overlooking again
occurs. Don't overload the
wires. Here at the power plant
we are trying to make our ser
vice to you uninterrupted.

Signs OF Splendor.

In a Richmond household a negro
woman by the name of Clarissa comes
in occasionally to help for the day.
She had been clearing the dinner table
one day after plentiful repast, which,
among other delicacies, included a
huge watermelon, and as she passed
through the doorway carrying in each
hand well-flled can of the glisten-
ing melon rind, she rolled her eyes at
the lady of the house and asked:

HEAD AND HEART OF LONDON
Great Financial Area Is One and Ira
fagar Square Is Undeniably
the Other.

There can be little doubt that Lon,
don's head is that area of the city
which contains the Bank of England,
the stock exchange and other great
financial and business houses.
But London's heart is not there, says
London Answers. There is coldness
about the city which does not appeal
TO the stranger. He stands in awe
of it. He looks upon the teeming
traffic and the hurrying folk with a
feeling of unrest.
Put that same stranger in the neigh
borhood of Trafalgar square, where
he catches glimpse of the houses of
parliament the towers of the ancient
abbey, and sees England's great sailor
on the summit of his lofty monument,
guarded by Landseer's wonderful
lions, and he will expand at once and
say: Nov, this is hit, all right y
In Trafalgar square there is a sense
of companionship and merry conrad
cry. That is probably why so many
folk congregate there with apparently
nothing much to do. Even the traf-
fic seems to be playing a game of puss
in the corner or general post.

Revealed Genius in Youth.

Gainsborough's mother encouraged
her sons first attempts at drawing. AT
twelve he was filling books with
sketches of flowers and clumps of
trees in the Suffolk lanes and woods.
He showed so much talent that the
family decided to send him to London
to study painting.
The occasion of the first portrait he
painted was very romantic. He was
working on landscape when young
lady came Unexpectedly upon him. He
Immediately began to transfer her to
his canvas. This took some time-long
enough for painter and model to fall in
love. When he was nineteen he mar
ried her.
His work became so much the rage
that his friends jovially punned upon
his name and dubbed his house Gains
Borough" Though he disagreed with
Reynolds and others of his famous
contemporaries, they all saluted him
as brilliant man and great painter.

ANCIENT WRITERS AS MODEL. S
Moderns May Learn Much From Au-
thors Whose Works Are the
Greatest in Literature.

Whatever our conjectures may be,
we cannot be sure that the best mod
ern writer's can afford us as good mod
els as the ancients; we cannot BE
certain that they will live through the
revolutions of the world, and con-
tinue to please in every climate, I'M
der every species Of government,
through every stage of civilization.
We may still borrow descriptive power
from Tacitus dignitied; perspicuity
from Ivy; simplicity from Caesar
and from Homer some portion of that
light and heat which, dispersed into
10000 channels, has filed the world
with bright images and ilIustrlous
thoughts. Let the cultivator OF mod
ern literature addict himself TO the
purest models of taste which France,
Italy, and England could supply, he
might still learn from Virgil to be
majestic, and from Tibullus to be ten
der; he might not yet look upon the
face of nature as TheOcritus saw it (;
nor might he reach those springs of
pathos with which Euripides softened
the hearts Of his audience.-Sydney
