THE BRILLIANT HISTORY OF THE Frayed Snide It is an exquisite thing to have a perfect house, In such a house ev- erything is in its place, high and low, front and back, and en its place al- ways -not on set and state oceasions, but always. The chairs and tables have their fixed relations to one ane other and keep them. No dust is allowed to remain, or even to gather, The polish of the doors is immaculate.

The visitor feels that there is peace there, that life is order- ly and regular, and that the souls of the inmates are orderly and regular also, And the inmates themselves no doubt !get pleasure out of it, It is a comfort to feel that you can find things where you leave them; and, in a world that is always too prone to be topsy-turvy, a quiet corner, a safe harbor and a well -ordered resting place give the troubled soul a sense of security that enables it to go out and flight its battles with more hope and assurance of success. Still, for the dwellers in such a gyrus iniportence have been made, and cached a small part of their supplies yet hardly any mention has been made within ten miles of where this ac of them an the newspapers or in geographical journals.

They should remember that it is better far the child to lose hes chance ef high marks in school than to have weak eyes for the remainder of his lice. A child's eyes are priceless.

This work was done entirely by the Tropical Lands in the Arctic Region Several times during the past de- cade the men of this remarkable .police force have investigated what are known as "mastodon finds" en various parts of the Frozen North.

He in turn wished to give it.to his favor- ite wife. But there are grave precitt- cal disadvantages about polygamy; he dared not give her the watch without remembering at least five other wives. So the attache was bidden to go back and get five more watches just like that one, He went to the jeweller, and the latter sent for the man who made the watch, "You made this watch for me, mon- sieur?" "Yes. Does the purchaser say that there is anything the matter with it? If he does, he is crazy." "Oh, not On the contrary, he likes the watch so much that he would like five more just like it." "I told you he was crezy. I never duplicate my work. I am making an- other watch now!" And rather than lose the sale, the jeweller, more clever than scrupulous, had to send the watch to Switzerland, where the Swiss watchmakers made him the five reproductions for about the same price as he had originally paid for the watch, and the Sultan never knew the difference.

Ugly folk are guilty of an injustice when they blame their parents tor their lack of good looks. the It is their. pituitaries thin are t zeal cause of their want of facial charm. Plain Janes and homely looking Johnsowe their joint unattaractivenese to the special pituitary gland with which they were provided at birth. This quite small but very potent or- gan' is situated on the under surface of the brain, reposing snugly ou the bony floor of the elcull, well out of Harm's way, From this paint of vent- age it directs those operations, using such plastic materials asskin, young and green bone, muscle, or flesh and blood, which result in the making or marring of your face. Sometimes the pituitary gland has an inspiration, and the result is a Venus or an Adonis. It is difficult to explain why in one individual the pituitary should have obviously done its best and in another its worst. Of course it is not always the pitui- tary gland that makes a sad mess of the human face. The thyroid gland, a modest, unassuming structure that hides in the region between your col- lar-stud and your Adam's apple, often lends a hand in the making or mar- ring of your visage. And considering the difficulty of ringing the changes without end on a couple of eyes, a nose, a mouth, and a pair -of ears, the combined efforts of the pituitary and thyroid glands to turn out really pre- sentable faces, each of which, though resembling the other, has an individu- ality all its own, are to be highly com- mended on the results obtained. Judging by Appearance. How is it done? All that can be said in reply is that these glands dis- til from their substance into the blood. and lymph some very mysterious es- sences which materially affect the building up and moulding of the tis- sues which go to the making of ,our faces. ,� It must be remembered that were'Ift not for the beneficent activities of these and other glands every human being would be simply a replica o all the others. We should not be ablto tell one man or woman from another, Fortunately the reverse is the case, and these wander -working glands which seem to pull the strings of life and growth of the human marionette are responsible also for our figures and even our characters. So it is that, most of us can easily be judged more or less accurately by our appearance. The disposition, temperament, nature, and tone of the individual depend up- on the precise proportion in which the magic essence distilled from these ductless glands is blended. The idiot is mentally and physically the product of his ductless glands. The genius is in like case, though so far itis impossible to identify which particular essence er what special gland plays the greatest part in his production. When science has finally got at all the facts, idiots should be as rare as precious stones, and Shake- -speares as plentiful as blackberries. Degrading and brutal forms of em- ployment are not without their in- fluence in the production of the poli- tively .repulsive face. On the other hand, elevating, altruistic, and idealis- tic activities have an obviously refrn- ing effect on the contours and expres- sion of the human face. Beauty and ugliness, therefore, are the result of internal glandular activi- ty and of environment and habit of life. A word to the wise is enough. The Song My Maur Sings. O sweet unto my heart Is the song my mother sings As eventide is brooding on its dark and noiseless wings. Every note is charged with memory, every memory bright with rays Of the golden hours of promise in the lap of childhood's days. The orchard blooms anew, and each blossom scents .the way, And I feel again the breath of eve among the new -mown hay, While through the halls of memory in happy notes there rings All the life -joy of the past in the song my mother sings. It's a song of love and triumph, it's a song of toil and care, It is filled with chords of pathos, and it's set in notes of prayer, It is bright with dreams and visions of the days that are to be, And as strong in falth's devotion As the heart-beat of the sea; It is linked in mystic measure to.sweet voices from above, And is starred with ripest blessing thro',a mother's sacred love, 0 sweet and strong and tender are the memories that it brings As 1 list in joy and rapture to the song my mother sings, Finde Ships in Fogs.
