Favorite TARGETS.

oak trees are favorite targets for
lightning. because their deep
roots furnish a better ground than the
roots of other trees. They also grow
best in soil which is a good con-
ductor of electricity.

Poets have sung the praises of the

low foreheads only for the intriguers
and villainesses.
But the woman with the very high
forehead knows that II is not always
so charming in real life as it is in
poetry and fiction. Wrinkles may add
TO the distinction of a distinguished
looking man. but few women's faces
are improved by deep creases or seams
in the forehead. In this country.

Your Name.

Does your name begin with b?
Maybe you'll find il in the list below.
Every ones name has some meaning,
for that is how names came to be.
Some word which stood for some spe-
cial quality came to be applied to a
particular person and perhaps that
name was given to his son or daugh-
ter, and when it was passed on like
that and came into common use
people forgot it's original meaning and
it became merely a name.
