Bust Shows Two Natures.

The United Service club is one of
London's famous clubs I'm Pail Mall
for officers of the twin British serv-
ices. the navy and the army. Busts
of naval and military heroes adorn the
hall. The duke Of Wellington with
his stately and aristOcratic look gazes
down on members as they pass
tf1rough the main entrance. Honesty.
pride and dignity are written there.
But a head of Lord Nelson at the
side IS more interesting. Each side
of the face is modelled differently. so
that the impression Of a man of the
world is given as YOU Look at the por-
trait from the left, and Of a dreamer
as you look at it from the right. In
the one case the modelling is firm. in
the other soft. Even the eyes. for both
are shown. are different. The bust\is
a replica by the famous English artist.

Ancient EnqIish Food LAWS.

There were pure food laws in Eng
land as long ago as the year 1881,
and those who violated them received
punishment TO fit the crime.
The Guildhall librarian has been ex-
ploring an old box Of parchments de-
posted long ago with the corporation
by the POulters company.
Habits are long-lived in the city.
Poultry has been sold since the mid
die of the Fourteenth century at Lead
enhall, where the city men today buy
a bird to take home in the evening.
But nowadays a goose costs more
than sixpence. On the other hand, a
poulterer who unluckily sells bad pig
cons has got to stand in the pillOry
while the pigeons are burned under
his nose.
This happened in 1881 to a 'poul-
ter" who sold 16 pigeons "in contempt
of the city and deceit of the people
for that the same were putrid and an
abOminatiOn to mankind. Lincoln

American Democracy.

Whoever in America desires to bet
fer his fellowmen must act by in
fiuencing their intellect. If he wishes
to see no idle man and no poor man
in the land, he must take care that
there shall be no ignorant man. Ignor-
ance is the mother of superstition
and misery. Men are better in pro-
portion as they are wiser. In what
ever direction we look we see the i'm
proypment. The physical man is more
powerful, the intellectual man is more
perfect. the moral man more pure.
The morality of nation is the ag-
gregate of the morality of the indi-
vidu9iS. A lazy man is necessarily bad
man. an idle is necessarily a demon
allied population.-John William
Draper.

DISAPPEARS IN THE EARTH
Mystery of vanishing River" in
Mexico Has Long Been Puzzle
to Scientists.

One of the most remarkable rivers
ern part of Mexico. 1t borders the
great Mexican desert and to reach it
one need travel only one days jour
ney on horseback from the Rio
Grande, which marks the southern
boundary of the United States in that
region. The extraordinary river in
question has its source in the hills
bordering the desert. II flows south
ward for some twenty miles as smooth
ly as any well-behaved river, but, sud
denly as it flows between high bluffs,
it becomes whiring rapids-rapids so
strong and so dangerous that no man
has ever been brave enough to at
tempt to cross the rushing waters.
one follows the rapids, as he walks
along the bluff on either side, for
about two miles, and then that river
vanishes utterly. Hence the name
Vanishing river. 1t disappears sud
denly, mysteriously, completely, into
the earth itself, and not into cave,
as one would suppose. Scientists have
tried in vain to ascertain where that
river goes; all that they have vet an
nOunced as the result of their cXplora-
tiOnS is that the river seems to drop
sheer into the earth, as over the brink
of bottomless abyss, and that this
Vanishing river is the most amazing
body of water known to ge0graphers.

American-Made CARPETS.

Since 1897 the manufacturing OF
rugs has been an important industry
in this country. The first rugs made
by power and on an American inven-
ton was in the year 1899. 1t Is true
that America imported a great many
rugs until the beginning of the World
war, and, of course, all oriental rugs
are imported.
France and Belgium sold many rugs
to us but when war destroyed their
looms and made manufacturing i'm
possible America had to turn TO her
own looms to fill her needs, and to-
day we are in this country exporting
rugs by the thousands. We are man
ufacturing in this country six prln-
cipal kinds of rugs or carpets-wil-
ton velvet, administer tapestry brus-
sells and plain rugs made from linen.

HEALTH HINTS FROM BIBLE
Proof That More Than Spiritual Con.
ISOLATION Is Contained in the
Pages of Scripture.

| If You want TO Keep we'll and avoid
doctors bills, study your Bible. That
would seem to be the moral drawn
from the remarks Of Sir james Can't
lie, famous English surgeon, who
pointed out that medicine rests on
the law Of Moses.
There IS not one page of the Bible
which does not teach us some hygienic
fact he said.
For instance, the wrong use of milk
is the cause of Indigestion and bad
teeth. Moses laid down the salutary
law that milk should not be drunk UNI
I'll at least two hours after eating fish,
three after chicken, and four after
meat, but this is disregarded and milk
is drunk at meals. No careful Jewish
mother gives milk to her child when
meat is served
Sir James points out how the dan
gers of plaques carried by rats was
learned from the Bible. When he was
doctor at Hongkong there was a bu-
bonic plague and he and others
searched the encyclopedia for infor-
nation. Then clergyman came to
him and asked him to read the fourth,
fifth and sixth chapters of the Book
Of Samuel, where five models of swell
ings and three golden images of rats
We're described as being offered to the
God of Israel.
That's the cause of your plague

on that basis the medical authorities
went TO work.-Pittsburgh Gazette

They both talk at once, on the same

They take you for motor rides and
quarrel about the routes.
The baby invariably cries before
breakfast.
They ask pretty girl to meet you
who hasn't a spoonful of brains.
They talk about themselves and nev.
er give you chance.
Frequently the cook has just left

Wasting Sunshine.

1.-THE greatest waste is our failure to
utilize, not our carelessness in methods
Of utilization" says Edwin e. Slosson,
noted scientist and writer. 1--WE waste
two-thirds of our coal before its ener-
gy gets into the engine. But we waste
all of the sunshine that falls upon our
arid region lands, and that means a
greater loss Of energy than we get
from all our oil and coal. The richest
region In the United States is Death
valley, California. Even the green
leaves are not able to catch and in
corporate more than l per cent of the
power of the sunshine that falls upon
them. If some one would invent a
solar engine with an efficiency Of even
5 per cent 1t would add intellectually to
the wealth of the country through the
utilization of the wasted sunbeams
that fall upon our arid land"

"Aphro had lovely bed 1t was

Not only was it a very comfortable,
cozy, soft bed but it was very pretty
bed, too.
"Aphro felt she was a lovely sight
in her white cotton bed She was
quite fond of herself in any case!
"She had a toy mouse made of cat
nip which was her favorite playmate,
and she often took it to bed as little
girl will take doll or Teddy Bear.
At one time Aphro had taken part in
play given by her family of grown
ups. She had taken a most important
part in the play, though all she had
had to do was to be held by lovely
grownup known as Ada and to wear a
little red skirt.
ada took the little red skirt off
right after she had acted her part-of
the play. Aphro thought that was kind
because she wouldn't have wanted to
wear the little skirt any longer. 1t
would have been in her way and would
have been quite annoying. But Aphro
was proud to think that she took part
In the play. They didn't have Patsy
In the play. That also pleased Aphro
for she was quite bit jealous, too.
She had grown to be very fond of
Patsy, but when Patsy had first come
she had been awfully jealous and
sulky and had not liked Patsy at all.
But after time she had seen that
the grownups were fair in their pet
ting and that Patsy wasn't going to
hurt her.
PATSY was hardly more than pup
py and Aphro was onlysa kitten, so
they were both young and liked to
play and did become good friends as
soon as Aphro got over being silly and
jealous.
But she was still a little jealous,
you see, to be glad that she was in
play in which they didn't have Patsy
after the play was over she would
put her paws on Patsy, and Patsy
would put her paws on Aphro and
they would pet each other little, and
then they would play.
"Then Aphro was proud because the
grownups had given picnic for Patsy
and for her. She didn't mind sharing
the picnic honors with Patsy.
