IT'S NOT ALL ROSES .
FOR THEAVIAN, EITHER.
(By Franey; Gilbreath Ingersoll.)
How many of us wives and mothers
realize what it is to be tho wage earner
for wife and babies?
It is no light burden for a man to be-
come responsible for what those' two
stand for.
It does not add to his jollity by day
nor his restlessness.by night to know
that bread and shoes and a roof depend
upon bis "keeping his job."
Labor •is not very exhilarating when
every ecratch of the, pen or stroke of
the hammer rivets aeink in the chain of
neceasity.
Do we realize how much effort the
cheery whistle costs him, when his whole
intellect is narrowededown to figuring
bow far $12 a week 4411 go toward sup-
plying $15 worth of necessities; and his
heart falls him when he thinks of the
empty coal bin and 'Christmas so -very,
very near?
And so, because we sometimes think
we are the only ones that feel the fret
and worry we nag; and faultfind, and
whimper, and sting witn petty taunts
the heart that loves us—the heart al-
ready sore over life's buffeting and de-
feat. • •
Only a .man knows how hard it is to
"smile on a -dollar. a. dae—we women
sometimes know, too—but just because
we are women, we can smile when the
skies are dark, and speak the cheery
word—if we will. One loving word helps
a man the lengtivof the day's dreary
road.
If, sometime, the unused, battered old
dinner pail should -.hang beside the shab-
by old coat—needed no more—we will
then realize how litany burdens the toil -
stained hands lifted), how heavy theocare
that bowed the shoulders down.
It is "all in the day's work"—our
work—whether we add the heavy weight
of the angry word, or Lighten the burden

NAPOLEON WEARING
A "STOVEPIPE" HAT.
We have seen all sores of pictures
of the great Napoleon. We have seen
him in military and civilian clothes

are with arms carefully folded, even
in the din of battle, and on horseback.

OAN YOU 'DRAW AN OWL?
You've seen lots of owls, of course.,
but can you alt clown with pencil and
paper and draw eine? The artist has

you use your braine you can supply
enough linea that he left out to make
a very pretty picture, Draw care-
fully, ee you won't make any mis-
takes, because lines are hard to rub
out, once you've put them in.
The most thoroughly detested of all
living creatures is the poor abused
owl, which may aptly be termed the
jowl or hoodoo of the air. There are
more superetitions connected with the
owl than there are with any other
living thing. When baby owl is born
it goes out lute the world with an aw-
ful handicap. Children run away
from it, bolder boys pelt it with
stones, hunters shoot it. Hunters
have been known to welcome the roar
of the lion and turn pale at the shriek
of the screech owl.

. THE SIZE OF THE OCEANS.
An °Meer of a liner once remarked to
the writer that most men seemed to be
as ignorant about the six° of the sea
as they aro of the distance between
the heavenly planets. Here are sm, few
facts: The Pacific covers 68,000,000
miles; the Atlantic 30,000,000, and. the In.
dian Ocean, Arctic and Antarctic 42,000,-
000. To stow away the contents of the
Paeific it would be necessary to fill a
tank one mile long, one mile wide and
one mile deep every day for 440 years.
Put in figures, time Pacific bolds in
weight 948,000,000,000,000,000.000 tons.
The Atlantic averages a depth of not
quite three miles. Its waters weigh 3e5,-
000,000,000,000,000,000 tons, and a tank
to contain it would have each of its
sides 430 miles long. The figures of the
other oceans are in the same startling
proportions. It would take all the sea
water in tho world 2,000,000 years to
flow over Niagara.

to be followed that will make ccoamecial
operation easy. Cleanliness is the firet

coal bin. Hard mei, slice as is used

esed to send the pumice up the ellenney. Ia the summer, the chimney and
fluea get cool and clomp, and the first
heat that eornes from the fire goes to
dry them oat. It does not furnish
enough force, therefore, to perform its
office of driving out the smoke, und
part of this comes into the house by
backing out the feeder dome anti other
openings. The most common cane° of
constaut smelting after that, is too inUeli
draft. The average man in making up
a fire opens his drait wide to make tire
wood lie uses as kindling burn freely.
He should leave them epee but a few
minutee, long enough, for the wood to
catch fire well, and then reduce them
to a voluine neeeesery to keep the wood
burning. Widwopen drafts make the
wood burn faet and produce such it vast
amount of smoke that the flues eannot
carry it off. It naturally backout of
the first opening on its course and
spreads through the house. Wide-open
drafts are also one of the causes of he
sufficient heat, though not the main
cause.
If the furnace is of the right size for
the houeeetobe•heated, and Is properly
installed, there are two other important
things that can give rise to complaint, -
the acetunulation of ashes: In the aetepit

dirty furnace also pauses poor heating
Ashes should never be Allowed to no

the draft, permitting little or no air t
reach the firebox from beneath. This i
also the cause of the melting of th
grate bars. As no cold air can go
through the bars torequalize the temper
ature, the fire simply .melts the casting
The use of ashes, Stem which all th
heat has been extraeted in the previou

Many people make the mistake Of put-

reduced, instead of cleaning out the

Girdlesof glue, so effective in this

without apparent trouble. Thousands
of Chinese women and boys were employ-

in 1908 more than 7,000,000 caterpillars
were gathered, smashed, covered with

NEW YORK DOWNTOWN.
Lanes and Alleys So Narrow That
Drivers Must Look Before Turning In
Itt old New York down town there are
some short streets and lanes and alleys
so narrow that two teams can't pass in
them. Every driver familiar with the
region when he tomes to one of these
streets that he wants to go through al-
ways looks clown before turning in to
see if there is already somebody in it
coming toward him or somebody belted
there with it truck loading or unloading,
But occasionally a man forgets And fails
to look, as, for instance, a driver did the
other day who started to turn from
South street up Gouveneur lane, this be-
ine not one of the narrowest of these
little streets, but one narrow enough, ex-
tending ewo blocks, from South street
to Water street, with sidewalks it foot
and it half of maybe two feet wide and
having a roadway in which two single
trueke might pass, but not two double
trueks and in tele& when Atruck was
backed up the way would be completely
blocked.
Up Gouveneur lane from South. street
this driver turned or started to turn
ited then looked up and stopped. Half
n block up the lane was it double truck
backed up with its tail covering the
sidewalk on one side up astainst a ware-
house door, while the truck's body
stretched clear across the lane to the
other side, the team being slewed around
of tourse et right angles with the truck,
(Imo only way it could stand there with
the truck as it eves.
The lane was blocked, that's all, and
bloeked as completely by that one truck
as it would have been by half a dozen
or
it dozen, and so the driver who bad
started to turn in simply stopped and
backed off and drove on.
HEDGING MATRIMONY ABOUT.
It is do longer permissible to get mar-
ried while intoxicated. In consequence,*
it is reported, there has beeti it great
decrease itt the number of marriages in
NeW Jertey. The Registrar of Vital Sta-
tistics of Paterson said the other dee:
"It would surprise you to learn how
many persons showing the effects of
liquor come here and ask for marriage
'kenos. Of course, we always refuse
them, and generally suggest that they
tome back the next day. Invariably they
don't come back." The inference is plain,
that many people would not think of
getting married unless they were bawd-
eated. Of course, a aridly ethical view
