It is true that there is no com- plete and absolute happiness, For- tunately, it is also true that there is no absolute misery. When things go wrong, our own per- sonal misery is likely to seem to us absolute, whereas the ills of others seem unreal and insignificant Even trifles prick so deep that we forget that they are trifles, unimportant not only in the larger movement of the world but even in the total current of our own lives. The great preacher Wesley once visited a wealthy parish- ioner to get assisauce for some over- whelming charitable need. The visit was mainly•occupied -with an account of the parishioner's fireplace, which would smoke, no matter what was Bono to remedy the difficulty. "Would you believe it, Mr. Wesley, I have haft the best advice from London, and still it smokes? These are my troubles. Mr, Wesley." To this man the life and 'death of Mr. Wesley's proteges was of little consequence compared with the smoking fireplace. How of- ten is it so with all of us. To appreciate the relative quality of our own troubles eve should keep an open heart for the troubles of other people a not brood over then, not wear our lives away in useless pity, not lose the possibilities of joy that are given to us by vague complaining over the sorrows of the world, but remeiubee. when vexations come, that they cerise to all and to meet more thickly than to us. It is sonretitnea urged that this rela- tive cure for unhappiness is a selfish one, anis that we have no right to cul- tivate otir own contentment by dwell - Ing on the sufferaigs and the wretched- ness of others; but that is not what is iuea.iit at all. We are not to gloat over cher..' mieoxy, not to emphasize whatever truth there may be in the remark of another great Frenchman, that there is something not wholly dis- agreeable to us in the misfortunes of even aur best friends.- The sense that we are not alone in trouble, that mil- lions of people daily endure far more than we endure, ought to soften us and render us more considerate and forbearing and helpful. At any rate, it will teach us that our own miseries are not monstrous and that, viewed re- latively, they are in most cases insig- Iiilicant. When your fireplace smokes, do not complain, "These are my troubles, Air. Wesley," but mend it or forget it• The Greatest of These. The world has need of greatness; men who rise Upon the stepping -stones of Yesterday To the To -morrow of their dreams and ours; The world has need of power; the power to build, The strength to break down barriers; to erect The gleaining edifice of betterment Upon the new foundation -stone of faith— Faith in mankind`` --and staunch and tender trust.

Ma Higginson had been away from home for a week and on his return - found that burglars had visited the house during his absence, and, al- though one had been wounded, they irad succeeded in getting away, ' "And so you shot a -burglar while done and unprotected," he said to his wife, "Yon are a brave little woman!

He says that a few drops of a drug called freezono, applied directly upon a tender, aching corn, instantly re• lieves soreness, and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out• This drug is a sticky ether com- pound, but dries at once and simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue. It is claimed that a quarter of an ounce of freezone obtained at any drug store will cost very little but is sufii• cleat to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet.

CIIf 1DII9OD CONSTIPATION Constipation -6 that disordered state of the digestive tract which is nearly always caused by improper feeding— can be readily regulated by the use of Baby's Own Tablets. These Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative. They are easy to take and are abso- lutely free from injurious drugs. Con- cerning there Mrs. Joseph Dion, Ste. Perpetue, Que., writes:—"I have noth- ing but praise for Baby's Own Tab- lets. When my baby was three months old he was terribly constipated but the Tablets soon set him right and now at the age of fifteen months he is a big healthy boy and this good health I attribute entirely to the use of the Tablets." They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Signals From Another Planet? Interruptions of the Marconi wire- less instruments by mysterious unde- cipherable signals, which were noted before the war, and have been public- ly referred to since, are specially fea- tured in the Daily Mail, London, and discussed by Marconi in an interview published by the paper,. "We occasionally get very queer sounds and indications, which might come from soniewhere outside the earth,” said Signor Marconi. "We have hada them both in England and America, The Morse signal letters occur with much greater frequency than others, but we have never yet picked up anything that could be translated into a definite message. "The fact that the signals have oc- curred simultaneously at New Yorlc and London with identical intensity seems to indicate that they must have originated at a very great distance. We have not yet the slightest proof of their origin. They might conceiv- ably be due to some natural disturb- ance at a great distance, for instance, an eruption of the sun causing elt etri- cal disturbances." Asked whether possibly, .attempts were being made by another planet to communicate, Signor Marconi said: "I would not rule out the possibility of this,. but there is no proof. We must investigate the matter much more thoroughly- before we venture upon a definite explanation." He added that the mysterious sounds are not confined to any par- ticular diurnal period; they are equally frequent by day and night. - Tea erCofe often dis7,445r4.-E.,s with --_.--• —'q.'"-„. _ some one 13Zt the fa1•n- u.-4:4,,.-1...

That he won't be able to find the wedding ring at the fatal mdment. That his hands will look as big as the broadsides of a barn during thee ceremony and that it is a confounded shame that it isn't permissible to hide them in his trousers' pocket. That it would be .an immense relief to elope instead of going through the fuss and flurry of the church wedding. That his pal has too much of a smile on his face and is sure to play some sort of a trick before the cere- mony is over with. That all the women in the congre- gation will wonder what on earth it is that the bride sees in him. That all his bachelor friends are sadly shaking their heads and saying, "Another good man gone." That though the bride's father has protested vehemently that he doesn't want to give up his little girl, he still seems remarkably happy over the fact that she is getting married. That while the fact remains that he isn't marrying the whole family the whole bunch has laid out a sche- dule of visits they aro going to pay him during the next few months. That if the bride's mischevious little 'bfa;her pulls off any of his so-called "cute little tricks" during the cere- mony it will be with extreme difficulty that he will restrain himself from up- ending little brother and giving him a splendid little paddling.

There is exhibited in the British Museum a sapphire weighing nine carats whch contains a bubble that appears and disappears with changes of temperature. It is believed that a cavity in the gem enclosed a quantity of carbonic acid gas under great pressure. When the temperature is such as to corres- pond with the 'critical point" for that gas under the particular pressure to which it is subjected in its brilliant prison house it liquefies and becomes visible as a bubble.

It has been an unfailing remedy in our household ever since I can remember, and has outlived dozens of would-be competitors and imitators." Swiftness of Revenge. Timothy Brown was a commercial traveller and a valuable asset to his employers. On one of Itis periodical rounds he included in his list of calls a certain yarn merchant, Jones Perkins by name—a crotchety, ill-natured indi- vidual --who invariably treated him with the greatest discourtesy, ,and who on more than one occasion had torn his card up in his presence and thrown it on the floor. As becomes a good commercial, however, Timothy was undaunted, and vowed to be re- venged. In dice course he called on his friend again and presented his card. "Hallos!" shouted old Perkins, giv- ing the card the usual wrench. "What the----" But hero he interrupted himself with a yell of pain, accom- panied by a miniature war dance, Timothy's rasa was made of enema led tin: He"ardlees of our own Ilt e'c.Saity, we sbruld work because of the need of the world. ISSUE No. 6—'20 Spiders' Threads For Telescopes. The threads of the garden spider are fixed by astronomers in their teles- copes for the purpose of givingfine lines to the field of view, by which the relative positions of stare may be ac- curately measured. For a century astronomers desired to make use of such lines of the great- est possible fineness, and procured at, first silver wire drawn out to the ex- treme limit of tenuity attainable with that metal. They also tried hairs (1. -500th of an inch thick), and threads of the silkworm's cocoon, which are split into two component threads, each only 1 -200th of an inch thick. But in 1820 an English instrument maker named Troughton introduced the spider's line. This Can be readily ob- tained three or four: times smaller than the silkworm's -thread, and has also advantages in its strength and freedom from twist. In order to obtain the thread the ispider,; is- carefully fixed on- a minias ture "rack," and the thread, which at the moment of issue from the body Is a viscid liquid, is made to adhere to a winder, by turning which the desired length of firm but elastic thread can be procured. 7,Coep =nerd's i,inirnent in the house.
