She waited patiently for his arrival,
feeling that he wouldn't disappoint
her. Sometimes he was a little early
sometimes little late, but eventu-
ally he would come, bringing with him
something dear to her heart.

distant now and then, she did not
grieve, knowing the day would come
week, two weeks perhaps-when he
would walk fearlessly up the walk
with a smile and a CHEEKY word Of
greeting.
After today she would never look fos
him again. At least his appearance
would never again cause the delight,

At last she saw him. Her arms

The Singer and the Soma.

A song is great adventure. Thou
sands write it, tens succeed; and
when they have succeeded, its fate
still lies entirely with the singer. No
one ever had 1t so much in his power
to make the worse appear the better
cause, or to refrain from so doing.
The ancients placed Thamyris and
Narada among the gods; the moderns
lay their counterparts royalties But
the singers personality is still incal.
culable in terms Of canonization or of
ash That personality means all that
he has been able to crowd into his life:
and he may still enlarge it. A good
way to DO that Is to read all the poetry
that he does not sing, and to listen to
all the music written for some other
instrument than the voice.-A. II. Fox

EaaIet Must Prove Fitness.

Many were the strange stories told
of the eagle during antiquity. It was
believed to be the messenger and
spirit of Jupiter. One Of these stories,
and perhaps the most peculiar. of all
of them, is the following. told by
Pliny. the great naturalist of ancient
Rome:
AS soon as her f1edglings can fly the
mother eagle takes her young ones
and bids them sit upon limb in full
view Of the setting sun. If one of
them ever 50 much as blinks or waters

HORSEPOWER" UNIT WRONG
Mistake That Can Be Definitely
Traced to James Watt Was Never
Officially Corrected.

III. p" as you know, stands for
horse power" and if, therefore, your
motorcycle is a four and one-haif h. p.
one, you know that what is meant is
that the engine has a power which is
equivalent to that of four and a half
horses.
Not so! You would be Incorrect to
the extent of no less than 10000
pounds, remarks a London Answers
writer.
The h. p. unit Of power is fraud,
and the late James Watt of eng ?
fame is responsible. He was a We. J
careful engineer, in theory and pra,c-
tice, and he discovered, by many eN-
periments, that the raising of 22,oOO
pounds one foot per minute was good
average horsepower.
But horsepower" today is reck-
oned at $4,000 lbs. per foot per min
ute-11 900 pounds in excess! That is
due to the fact that Watt, in his anxi-
ETY. to encourage business, offered to
sell engines which would develop 49,
900 pounds per foot as horsepower
"a third more than the actual.
It would seem that he meant ulti-
mately to be honest, but he died be
fore that happened, and so bequeathed
to the world, which has accepted it,
false unit measurement of horse
power.
Engineers, of course, know of the
error, and make due allowance for it 1;
but the average individual does not.
Your 10 h. p. car is, therefore, in fact,
but % one, and its power is equal
to raising $4,000 pounds foot in a
minute, and not $4,000.

keep the Baby Quiet at Nioh4.


Getting up in the night to quiet did
uneasy baby is not the joke that some
comic writer's represent it to be. A
young husband discovered this in case
Of his frst-born and the means he
took to overcome the difficulty won
him a prize in contest in new uses
for electricity.
The only means Of quieting this
baby, who was ailing, was to move
him up and down, gently. In the low
er part Of the crib the father fastened
the motor Of a discarded electric fan.
From a small pulley on the motor he
ran q belt to larger pulley On q
short shaft, at the other end of which
he rigged crank. Then he extended
q connecting rod to the center Of the
frame that supported the springs aud
mattress.
The motor, when started, moved
springs, mattress and baby up and
down about an inch, smoothly, gently
md regularly. It proved entirely sat

Eagles Change Color.

The young eagle is clothed in three
kinds of garments before 1t reaches
maturity. During the first year it is
black, the second year slate-colored,
the third year brown and white It
might be said that the bald-headed
eagle Is not bald. 1t is so called from
the white ruff of feathers about its
head. The three different appearances
Of the young eagle one time provoked
a strange misunderstanding among
bird observers. 1t was thought that
they were three different species-the
black, the George Washington and the
bald. The eagle is one Of the Fall
conidae, which includes hawks and all
similar birds of prey.

Savage Tribes Revered the Cross,

From the early days of the church
the cross was q usual emblem Of
Christian faith and hope. The first
Christians showed great respect for its
significance, with st. Paul "glorying
In the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ"
They used the gestural sign of the
cross extensively. Tertullian wrote in
the Second century: SAT every step
and movement, when we go in or out
when we dress or put on our shoes, at
the bath, at the table, when the
lights are brought, when we go to bed,
when we sit down, whatever it is that
occupies us, we mark the forehead With
the sign of the cross"
Even before the Christian era the
cross was an object Of religious venera.
ton among savage tribes The death
Of Christ gave 1t q new meaning.

Great Authors Write Badly.

All great authors write badly. That
Is well known. AT least the pedants
say so. Great writer's are impetuous.
The vigor Of their vocabulary, the in
tensity Of their style, the daring of
their phrases disconcert the pedants
To the pundits good writing apparently
means writing according to rules. But
born writer's make their own rules, Or
rather make none. They change their
manner at every moment as inspiration
dictates; sometimes they are harmoni
GUS, sometimes rugged, sometimes in.
dolent and sometimes spirited. SO,
according to the common notion. they
cannot write well.-Anatole France.

How She Helped Mamma.

A teacher at certain private
school strives to instill flial devotion
In her pupils. Recently she asked her
class In what way they had been help
ing their parents. Various answers
were given Of more or less to-be-
expected nature, till she reached a
little girl who had been casting rather
contemptuous glances at the hum
drum reports. When her turn came
the eyes of the others were fixed on
her as she lives in an opulent home
that boasts staff of servants. "Well

Peculiarities Of the Whale.

The whale Is able to hold his breath
for a long time, sometimes for As
minutes, and he is able to open his
mouth under water when eating, be-
cause his nostrils connect directly
with his windpipe and not with the
back OF his mouth, as In most other
animals. When he comes to the sur
face he blows the air out of his lungs.
