Peter knows, Peter has been fool ed by his eyes so many times that he is inclined to be little doubtful unless his nose or his ears tell him the same thing that his eyes do. Peter says that you may be fooled by your eyes, but it is seldom that you can be fooled by both eyes and ears, or eyes and nose, But once in a while ears and eyes do not help out at all. This was the case when early one morning Peter was up be- hind the old stone wall along the Old Orchard, very near to where the latter joins Farmer Browns door yard. At that time in the morning Peter had no business up there. He should have been at home in the dear Old Briar-patch. No one knew that better than he. But yon know how curious Peter is. Curiosity gets

from rope skipping has come to his
notice. He maintains that rope skip
ping must be in some way beneficial.
else it would not have been handed
down through the ages as a universal
form of play.
Among the benefits in this form OF
play or exercise are these. 1t is en-
joyable, interesting and exhilarating.
1t affords individual competition. yet
is not emotionally disturbing or ex-
hausting as certain organized forms
of play, such as basket ball. may be
for girls. 1t is q fine game or exercise
to develop the heart in the way de-
scribed; that is why boxers in training
do considerable rope skipping. The
jar Is rather a good stimulus for the
intestine and tends to prevent con
stipation. 1t develops the legs and
strengthens the ankles. II helps the
return circulation in the veins of the
| legs-for muscular activity is an i'm
portant factor in carrying the blood
back through the veins-and so tends
| to prevent varicoSe veins.
| Here's a form of play and exercise
which anybody may enjoy anywhere
and at any time. It is particularly
advisable for girls and women who
would like to keep fit but do not know
| just how to go about it.

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Gernini.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
very favorable until about PM.
when they assume a doubtful and
confusing condition. Later on in the
evening they become definitely ad-
verse. The early part Of the day will
prove extremely beneficial for all 1T
erary and artistic efforts, and much
good work of a useful character can
be accomplished at this time. There
will be clearnesS OF vision, and situa-
tions that appeared difficult Of solu-
ton or tasks that could not be car
rled out hitherto to your own salts
faction will, under the influences, be-
come easy of arrangement and ac-
complishment. Poise must be estab-
lished during the balance of the day
II untoward results are to be avoided.
Children born tomorrow will during
their first months suffer from physical
weaknesses and will not readily yield
to the treatment that is prescribed
for their betterment. There Is no
occasion, however, for discourage
ment, as. with patience and the right
sort of alimentation, these little ones
will outgrow their weaknesses and de-
velop normally along healthy and Wig
orous lines. They will possess w1llful
natures, and their desire, no matter
at what or at whose cost, always to
have their own way must not be
generously considered as cute. but
must be effectively curbed. These
children will probably be rather self
ish and, though anxious and eager TO
succeed in life, will not derive the
happiness that they should from any
degree of material advancement they
may achieve.
If tomorrow is your birthday ami
versary you are of very contented
nature. although this does not imply
that you are satisfied. Your ambi-
tionS are moderate, and you never go
out seeking fresh worlds to conquer,
but limit your desires more to happi
ness, comfort and ease than to the
harder struggles that great achieve
ments always entail. You are fairly
but not exceptionally intelligent, and
you are pleased with a smattering of
knowledge rather than with pro-
fundity. You are not exactly lazy, but
II there were some incentive urging
you on, your efforts would be not only
more consistent but more concen-
trated.
Your home life, given your lack Of
restlessness and your aversion to ex-
element. is uneventful and peaceful

tion that the defenses on Sullivan S
Island be abandoned, and that all at
tention be centered on the land de-
fenses. Mr.. Rutledge did not agree to
this proposal. nor did Col. Moultrie
suspend his work on his fort in order
to construct bridge from the island
for use in case of a retreat. In short,
our brave militia are not making plans
| for a retreat anywhere, but are pre-
pairing for a. most spirited defense at
whatever point may be necessary.
Gen. Clinton's landing on Long
Island, foretelling a land attack, was
followed yesterday by a move which
may be the first maneuver for a water
attack. A large number of enemy
ships came over the bar and anchored
about 3 miles from Sullivan's Island.
Thereupon there was greatly increased
activity in fortifying the town. En-
bankments were thrown up at landing
places, barricades erected across the
streets, and warehouses torn down on
the waterfront to allow for free action
for the militia cannon.
Two North Carolina regiments ar
rived today and others are expected
to come soon from Virginia.

what 1t means. You know I'm too far
away to see."
Redwing chuckled. "It means" I"
said he, that that caterpillar that I
dropped down to you all covered with
the cast-off skins Of these aphids isn't
the only enemy they have who is
smart enough to hide in this way.
There is another one UP here"
"Is it another caterpillar" cried
Peter.
NO" said Redwing. "It isn't a
caterpillar. 1t isn't at all like q
caterpillar. 1t is a queer fellow with
big jaws, and some day it will turn
into a beautiful pale-green fly called
the lace-wing fly, just as that cater
pillar will sturn into a butterfly if
nothing happens to it. This thing
isn't at all pretty now, but it cer-
tainly is terror to these aphids.
That's what it lives on. 1t sucks
them dry and it has covered itself
all over with the skins so that it will
not be seen. That is what made it
seem to you as if a part of this patch
of aphids moved off by itself and then
came back again. 1t really was this
fellow covered with the skins Of
! aphids. He certainly Is hungry fel-
low. I've heard that he's called aphis
lion, but of course he really is a young
lace.wing fly, just as caterpillar is a
young butterfly"
II never think of a caterpillar as
being a young butterfly" replied
Peter.
Redwing chuckled. "A caterpillar
may not be a young butterfly, but
when it isn't a young caterpillar it
! Is young moth. II you think Of a
| tadpole or pollywog as a young frog
or a young toad, why can't you think
Of a caterpillar as q young butterfly
| or a young moth? That's what 1t
really IS. And this queer-looking bug
| up here all covered with the skins OF
the aphids is a young lace-wing fly.

Skip Rope and Train Your Heart.

A certain mechanism Of response to
eXertion which the heart develops by
proper physical training is called
wind" Athletes in training try to
develop wind" that Is, they try to
train the heart to respond to exertion
so that they will not get out of breath
SO soon. DR.. f. H. Arnold. head Of
the New Haven Normal School Of
Gymnastics. says: Boys, in their
more strenuous activity, get many
chances to develop this mechanism.
For girls, I can think of no handler.
safer or more suitable form of ex-
ercise to procure such development
than rope jumping" DR.. Arnold
ought to know what's what, because
it Is from his school that the best
trained teachers or physical directors
are graduated.
Skipping the rope is an excellent
exercise to prevent drowning. How
can that be? Well. suppose Il fairly
good swimmer undertakes a rather
long swim in deep water. If he should
lose his breath, get out of wind, he
might easily drown. That probably
explains the drowning of many per-
sons who were good swimmers.
When any one skipS the rope,
whether II be a short rope swung by
the rope skipper himself or a long
one swung by some one else, the i'm
mediate effect of the exertion is an
increase of 20 or 80 beats of the llear rt
to the minute. This increase in the
pulse rate occurs with just one or two
or three jumps. But a peculiar effect
follows half dozen or more jumps, in
the normal individual. Then the pulse
rate slows down somewhat-in other
words, the heart, responding to the
demand, settles down to steady pull,
and this is practically an automatic
safety mechanism, which regulates the
effort the rope skipper will put forth.
DIR. Arnold admits that "a Greek
maiden died from rope skipping years
ago." but he adds that in his expert
ence with physical activities, extend
ing over a period of 40 years or more,
not a single instance of serious harm
