Ho wont to the Mead of the stairs and 1ties. Bumpus whispered something in his ear. Then he weut hawk to toll Nannie the follow- ing story; "Once upon a time there were two IlttIe goats who had very good smel- lot'a-.-" "You mean noses," interrupted Nannie Croat. "Yoe," eontiluled her father. "Two little goats with wonderfully good nose:, who could smell a piece of hake about two pules off, "Otto of the little goats had a mo- ther who used to make cake for her, and mho never, never refused to give the little goat some of the rake which she 'tail baked. "Ono day, what do you think hap- pened?" "1 caurnot imagine," said Nannle Goat, all aglow with curiosity. "Well," said Billy Bumpus, looking very crafty and stroking his whisk- ers, "the two little goats smelled the cake which ane of the little goat's mo- ther had made and both of them wait- ed until the cake was done and had been set otic on the kitchen window shelf to :cool, and then--.--" - "I know the rest of the story," said Nannie Coat, sitting halt upright in bed. "Su does another little goat friend of yours, Miss Jemina Goat." Then he edited, "I think both of you ought to have a spanking." "1 think so, too," said Nannie Goat. "but before you spank me I really would like to tell mother how good that rake was. I think it Is wonder- ful that you selected such u good cook for a .wife. The cake was delicious. You know good cooks are scarce nowadays." "Son are a dear, sweet daughter," said hilly Bumpus, as he gave Nannie - a great big hug. "I'm ready for you to spank me," answered Nannie as she turned over, "1 guess not to -night," said her father, the tears coming into his eyes. "But it is always a better plan to ask for things first than to he found out afterward, as you cannot fool any- body but yourself." "Then, Daddy, will you give me an- other piece?" "0f course! Of course, my dear," replied Billy, as he scooted downstairs and into the panty where he found Mrs. Bumpus. "I guess our dear daughter has learned a lesson," he said, as he kissed his wife. "May she have another piece of cake?" "Yes," replied Mr's. Bumpus, with a smile, "and so may her father," AUSTRALIA'S NEW AUTO TIRE. Made of Native Fibre and Pronounced - Bullet, Nail and Glass Proof. A new kind of automobile tire— "the horning"—has appeared in Aus- tralia. It is made of a native fibre. The need that gave rise to its con- trivance, how it is made, and how used, are described in the Weekly Bul- letin, Canadian Department of Trade and Commerce, as follows: "As in other countries of vast dis- tances and comparatively few travel- ling facilities, the advent of the motor ear in Australia has, to a -very con- liderable extent, solved the difficulties )f transportation. In many parts of �he country the roads are merely bush tracks or overland stock routes, on which herds of cattle are driven long distances to the city markets or coast- al freezing works. "The rough nature of: the country over which the cars travel and the ex- cessive 'teat often experienced • have made the .cost of rubber tires a serious item iu maintenance, thereby causing many experiments to obtain a substi- tute for rubber at • a moderate cost. The invention and recent perfection of the Australian 'homing' tire is claimed to have solved the problem of produc- ing an emergency tire at a compare- tively small cost. Tests with tires made of various kinds of fibre were made, with the result that coir fibre was found to bo the most suitable for the purpose because of its lightness, cheapness, resilience, and durability, The greatest clifliculty was to discover tt method of joining the ends of the rope to make a complete circle: of the sante size, but eventually a new splice was invented; and the Lire as now sold in Australia isfperfect of its type. "When first placed on the market the 'homing' tire was sold as an emer- gency tire in ease of a puncture or blow-out, but it proved so satisfactory that in the country districts of some of the States the rope tires are •fre- quently used on all the wheels of mo- tor cars, particularly for station or ranch work and over rough and stony country. "The tires are bullet, nail, and glass proof, and if a speed of sixteen miles is not exceeded it is claimed that they tiro almost as soft riding as pneumatic tires. It should bo understood that the 'horning' tine -taken the place of both inner tube and over, being at- tached to the ritn by form or live straps."

FREEZING OF WATER PIPES. A Solution Ilas Been Dieeovered to Prevent It. A mixture which is declared to have proven successful in preventing water pipes from freezing Is described by; Thomas W. Benson as follows( "To -a solution of thin boiled starch add sawdust until the mixture 1'orina a thick paste. A fine sieve may be used to clear this sawdust from lumps. "Heavy cord is first wrapped around the pipe, spacing the Luras about one- half inch. A one-fourth inch layer of the mixture is sitteared on and allow- ed to dry; then a second layer is put on and-emoothed up. Tho string acts as an anchor to make the coating ad- I here to the pipe closely, Whitewash or paint may be used to give a finish for inside pipes, but for outside work cover the coating with hot tar. If it is desired to have a very neat covering wrap the sawdust coating with cloth or canvas, applying it in .narrow strips like a bandage."

AL special time: unusual demands are made upon her strength, Where these are added to the worry and work which falls to her lot, weakness and i11 health will follow unless tho blood is fortified to meet the strain, Weak women find in Dr, Williams' Pink Pills the tonic exactly spited to their needs. i Iot,t of the ills from which they suffer are duo to blood- lessueas—a coed:Lion which the.

MAN'S WOP.K, How a flays' School Learned to Live Up To 'Their Motto, In the hills of northern Georgia the Berry School for Boys believes in clu- ing whatever needs to. be done, .foe motto is, "Bea lifter, not a leaner." But the position that it holds and the ideals that it maintains were not at- tained without a struggle. In The Men of the Mountains, Mr. Arthur W. Spaulding tells the story of one of l.he first crises in the history of the school. The mountain boy was ready to plough in the fields, chop in'the woods, hammer on the house; he was not wholly off his ground in milking the cows, cooking his food and making his bed; but there were some things. required of him that were too obvious- ly woman's work. The first Monday Miss Berry summoned her young guard of mountaineers for their first lesson in laundering. The laundry was a washtub out under a tree. "Now, boys," -said Miss Berry, "we are going to wash clothes. I will show you how. Then each boy is to wash his own garments." There was silence, an electric si- lence, while the mountaineers con- sidered. Then their spokesman, n tall, strapping young fellow, said, "No, ma'am! I ain't never seen no man do no washin', and what's more, I ain't gift' to do it." Calmly Mies Berry played her last card. "If you will not do the wash- ing," she said, "you may watch me while I cio it for you," Into the tub went her round, white arms. It was her first washing, like- wise. Up and down "sloshed" the clothes over the washboard; up and down hent the back of the gentle washerwoman. The boys stood sheep- ishly regarding her. Exhausted, she finally straightened her aching back and leaned in weariness against the tub. The chivalry of the mountaineer asserted itself at hist, "I ain't meter seen it. done," dacha - ed the boy who hacl spoken before, MICA AXLE GREASE Makes your wagon run as if it had ball bearings.

FLORA OF TIIB ANTIPODES Great Forests of Australia Filled With Sunshine and Flowers. One readily understands why the Australian loves his trees, says the National Geographic Magazine. The groves of giant eucalyptus form pie- tnreo never forgotten, and the scent of the wattle brings a homesick feel - Ing like the smell of sago to the west -1 eerier. The flora is not only beautiful, it is unique, and has no counterpart in oth- er lands. Of the 10,000 species of: plarli.:t, most of them are purely Aur- traliun, and are unknown even fn New: Zealand. The genera.] impression onei gets of Australian foreets is their total unlikeness to anything seen else-' where, The great forests of timber trees. are not clalup and shadcled and all of • one species, but are well lighted and, filled with other forests of ahortaeI trees. In places the woods consist of large widely spaced trees surround -I ed only by bunch grass, and even in• areas where water is not to be found on the surface for hundreds of square miles true forests of low trees are present. Forms which may be recognized as tulip, lily, honeysuckle and fern take en a • surprising aspect. They are not garden flowers, but trees, and the landscape of which they forst a part reminds one of the hypothetical re- presentations in books of science of a landscape of Mesozoic time, a period antedating oar own by millions of years. The trees are indeed those of a. by- gone age, In America and Europa shadowy farins of fossil leaves of strange plant species are gathered from the rock, and studied with in- terest; in Australia many of these ancient trees are living.

When the transportation of supplies through the snow in the Vosges last winter was of urgent importance, the French army authorities conceived the idea of using dog -drawn sleighs, and several hundred trained animals from Alaska, northwestern Canada , and Labrador were obtained. With the ending of winter, the dogs can tinhe to be useful in another way. In'' the London Chronicle, Mr. Id, Warner Allen, representative of the British press with the French army, tells how they are now being harnessed to two - foot -gauge light railways, which run everywhere behind the front, and they , are capable of drawing the heaviest load up the steepest gradient.

She strongly disapproves of it, and dis- countenances it as much as she is able. Since the outbreak of war an enormous number of bogus charitable anneals have been sent out, and peo- ple responsible for them have made special efforts to secure gifts from the King and Queen, for the simple reason that a subscription from their Ma- jesties is regarded by the general public as an indication that the cause is a good and deserving one, The Queen knows this, and is therefore specially careful not to give anything, to an undeserving cause lest she en- courages her subjects to waste their money.
