FOR A FUTURE GENERATION
Pioneer Blazes way That Others May
Enjoy Results That Have Been
His Life’s Work.
The world finds itself in little
things. Tennyson wrote that if he
could really know his “flower in the
crannied wall” he would know what
the world meant That is why such
a thing as the absence of bells in the
large city (not the absence of sharp,
insistent gongs, but of leisurely, soft-
hinging chimes) might tell the whole
story today.
The advance guard of any civili-
zation is chiefly utilitarian. It is
like the first thin line of settlers who
push their way toward the frontiers.
Back in the valley life may ring and
loll at ease. But for the settler who
goes ahead there is no ease, no in-
terlude, no dreaming, no song—un-
less it be the rude primal song of
reaction from the strain of bring
ever on guard. The settler has to
make ready for the richer life that
may follow him. He is a pioneer-
and a sacrifice that his children may
have a finer peace and deeper con-
templation than ever could be his.
Upon his labors will be built the
complex strata of life of a better
civilization.
Life today is a pioneer, a daring
straining traveler into new fields.
For life today there is little of ease
or of dreaming. Sharp cells abound
that life may keep step with them.
Our bells are insistent calls to
duty. They are sharp reminders for
our coming and going.- They have
not yet the music of the richer civi-
lization that may be reared on the
achievement of today.
BEST T° SLEEP IN DOSES
French Physicians Come Forward With
a Naw idea as to the Proper
Hours of Rest.
French physicians are claiming
wonders for the benefits which result
from sleeping in doses. Too long
continued sleep has a tendency to
stupefy rather than to strengthen,
while a shorter sleep, repeated at in-
tervals through the twenty-four
hours, has a much more stimulating
effect *
Experiments have heen made on
the patients in the free hospitals and
clinics who were suffering from men-
tal depression and physical exhaus-
tion. They were allowed to sleep for
three hours and then stay awake for
four, again sleep for three, and then
awake for four, and so on through
the twenty-four hours, and their re-
covery was found to be far more
rapid and satisfactory than that of
• those who slept for long periods and
then were awake for correspondingly
greater lengths of time. -
If this fact becomes universally
recognised and established as a truth
there is no phophesying what strange
results may occur, for if all people
decide to sleep in such spasmodic
snatches there will have to be con-
siderable of a change in all business
arrangements.VIA

WHY THE WEAR OF CLOTHES
Some Comment on More or Less Im-
portant Question Gleaned From
Contemporary.
Why are evening clothes? Be-
cause mankind is vain. Why are aft-
ernoon or morning clothes? The
same answer. Then why have so
many kinds of clothes? Time might
be saved by wearing a loin cloth or
no loin cloth, and our health would
improve appreciably, so the back-to-
nature contingent insists. Why have
any clothes, unless perhaps blankets
to be worn out of doors in cold
weather and checked at the theater
and hung upon books at the office?
cause for gladness. The harder it
was to find the glad part the more
“fun in the game.” The little girl
learned her game so well that she
wanted everyone to play it with her.
The man who broke a leg had to be
glad that it was not two, and so on.
Were we sll to seek the glad part in
things instead of fretting over the
disagreeable, how much more happi-
ness there would be in the world!
Whatever happens, it is wise to make
the best of it. Things are often not
half as bad as they seem. When vex-
ations come we can look for the alle-
viating circumstances, always seek-
ing the reason for being glad. If the
reason sometimes seems far-fetched,
still it is better than no reason for
gladness.
Cultivate a glad spirit and you
will find very much more of joy to
the world. You will be carrying sun-
shine to others instead of bringing a
cloud. You will make nothing worse
than it is and very many things bet-
ter. T
STRANGE MATTERS OF FACT
Scientific Puzzles That Appear Queer,
but Are Easily Capable of
Elucidation. *
Everyone knows that the diamond
is only charcoal crystallised; but
there are a great many things in na-
ture that, though possessing widely
different properties, are composed of
exactly equal quantities of the same
elements.
The white of an egg and rattle-
snake poison are formed of identi-
cally the same amounts of the same
elements.'
The oil of roses and common coal
gas are each formed alike, both be-
ing composed of four atoms of hy-
drogen and four atoms of carbon.
Sugar and gum arabic are likewise
brothers of the same weight and tex-
ture.
All the hydrocarbons, known to
science as a combination of sixteen
atoms of hydrogen and ten atoms of.
carbon, are alike in their composi- envelope were scratched numbers and
tion. To enumerate some: Oil of or-
ange, lemon, cloves, ginger and black
pepper.
The suggested explanation of these
peculiarities is that the atoms are
placed differently toward one another
in the molecules of the different sub-
stances.
Other things just as peculiar are
evident when certain substances are
united chemically. The hydrogen
gas, which is also odorless, when
united go to make ammonia, which
has a very strong odor. Copper,
which has no odor, and zinc, which
also has none, when melted and
mixed to give us brass, produce a
substance with a characteristic smell.
: TESTING.
“Why do you put your finger on
■ that paint Don’t you see the sign,
‘Fresh Paint P’ ”
“Yes,” replied the man with ec-
centric ideas. “But I can’t keep
from testing it and thinking what a
convenience it would be if fresh eggs
could be tested the same way.”—
Washington Evening Star.
PARADOXICAL.
“In these days of political reforms
there is one class who do not come
up swimmingly.”
“Who are they?”
“The floaters.”

CALLS FOR SERIOUS THOUGH!
Landlords' Objections to Presence of
Children Very Much More Than
Jest It Is Considered.
The question of rent—and babies
—makes the whole world kin. The
municipal authorities of France have
just discovered that there is a vital
relation between a declining birth
rate and prohibitive rentals. The
birth rate in 1912 has been the low-
est since 1861 in Paris, because rent
has been soaring sky high. An ad-
dition to the family means paying
more for lodging or else going into
a less convenient home and into a
cheaper neighborhood.
The municipal authorities in Chi-
cago have not yet got to the stage
of viewing the rent problem from the
child angle. But we are fast com-
ing to it It is a sad truth that ba-
bies are all too frequently considered
superfluous by the owners and build-
ers of modern apartment houses.
"Any children?" is the brisk ques-
tion which the agent pops before he
lets you take a look at his up-to-date
flat If you happen to be guilty of
a couple of chubby-faced youngsters
you have to look for a flat that has
none of the up-to-date conveniences.
This is equivalent to saying that you
must stay in the cheaper and dirtier
neighborhoods of the city, unless you
can afford and wish to go out to a
suburb.
The ban which the owners of the
mup to date flats in Chicago are put-
ting on children should be made
more than a subject for jest.—Chi-
cage Tribune.

It was about forty years ago that
M. Raymond Louis Wolowski, a well-
known French politician, who was by
birth a Pole, proposed in the national
assembly that the postal card should
be recognised as a legitimate form
of correspondence in France and this
was the beginning, as far as is
known, of the post card as we know
it today.
But the real discovery of the poet
card as a means of correspondence,
it is said, was made long before by
two young lovers living in distant
villages. It was at the time before
stamps existed and the receiver of a
letter paid the charges to the post-
man. The daughter of a poor farmer
received from time to time a letter

too poor to pay thhe postage, and
after having examined it intently she
returned it to the postman. On the
figures together with the address.
One day a neighbor, having pity on
the young girl who was too poor to
pay the postage on letters which
came obviously from her lover, of-
fered to pay it. The girl refused,
but the neighbor insisted. Once in
possession of the letter the girl made
no attempt to open it, but stood gaz-
ing at the envelope. The neighbor
was astonished. *
When questioned, the girl replied:
“There is nothing written inside the
letter. We are not rich enough, my

You Need a Tonic
. There are times in every woman’s life when she
needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take—Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com-
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs,
and helps build them back to strength and health.
It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak,
ailing women in its past half century of wonderful
success, and it will do the same for you.
You can’t make a mistake in taking
fiance and I, to pay the postage of
our letters, and before he went to the
army we arranged a code language
between us, the signs that you see
traced on the envelope.”
Thus was discovered the post card.
AMONG THOSE PRESENT.
“Your house is the scene of so-
ciety’s most brilliant events.”
“That’s right,” replied Ms. Cum-

that I’d never stand a chance of be-

her.”-—Washington Evening Star.
QUITE A DIFFERENCE.
“You no longer aspire to an office,
Mr. Judkins?"
“No, darn the luck! I’ve reached
the point now where I simply want
one.”
