Lade and Sophie, two little play- mates, each had a knitiang-spool. This was a spool with four pine pounded into it; they wove a loop of zephyr or yarn over each pin until a loose rope was made. They had a great many colons andshad-esintheirmere, in their mere, but Sophie had twenty-seven colors, whereas Lune bad only tw.enty-six. • "There isn't so much differenee in the length of our ropes," said Lucie, "when you stop to think that you've ono more color then I have, is there?" "No, that's so," answered So- phie, "The burnt red lo The only kind I have that yet haven't in yours. But Ism b it pretty, Lumel Don't you just love it?" Sophie held it up and gdmired it. After her ,playmato had gone home, Lucig' wished that she had a color Vett Sophie did nob have. "Of athirst, if I had a lot," she thougA, "I'd give her a piece; but if I/just had a little, she couldn't bleime me for keeping it all. She ^aoes love that burnt red," Then, as if in answer to her wish, a funny thing happened, Father Sparrow Came flying along, carry- ing in his bill a light green thread. Do you know what color the buds are in April, when they are peep- ing out at the ends of the treest The thread was exactly that shade of green. She watched Father Sparrow fly toward his half -fin- ished nest. Perhaps he was fright- ened at Lucie, or perhaps he did • not hold the string very firmly in his mouth, for the green thread fell clown and caught on the sleeve of Lueie's sweat' -r. "It's lovely I" cried Lucie. "It's just as if a fairy had answered my wish 1" and she ran joyously into the house to show it to her mother. After- her mother had hoard the story, she said, "But Pm just a little bit sorry for Mr. Sparrow." "0 mother," said Lucie, impa- tiently, "any color will do For sparrows. Sophie's rope is longer than mine; besides, this it such a beautiful green. How do you know that sparrows know one eel - or from another 1" "Of course," admitted mother, "the sparrow never told me; but suppose Mrs. Sparrow was expect- ing it, and they saw you pick it up. Wouldn't it be fun to put it out and see if they would come and get it againl" "I clOn't want to," said Lucio. "I don't want to one bit. Must 11" "No. You can do as you please, but that is what I should do." Lucie sat down on the porch and began to knit the new color into her rope. It looked very pretty next to the dark red, and she was so busy that it was supper -time be- fore she knew it. Father came out to call her in. "Well, how's the rope to-day—it surely does grow." Lucie held it up for him to see, and her forehead puckered a little as she told him about the silk thread. "Whew I" he whistled. "That's the time you got ahead of Old Man Sparrow, poor chap." • ."Why, father, do you think :mar- rows care about colors1 1 know little girls do. • And this isn't a bit like any of Sophie's. I don't believe it makes any difference to • "Oh, I don't know," answered father; "but you must achnit, little daughter, that he had it first, Come in to supper." That night it took Lucie a long time to get to sleep. She toned, and turned her pillow several times. Very early the next morning Lucie was wakened by the spar- rows cheeping just outside her wine dow. She remembered what she had deckled to do just before she. went to sleep; so she got out of bed and found her knitting -spool. She raveled the dark red, than the new green, and then she droned and hurried down to the poreh; she twisted the green thread on the blackberry -bush right beside the dining -room window, She did not tie it very tight, and when she ran out again, it was gone.

THOUGHTS ON BUSINESS .LIFE Integrity, Generosity, Humanity, Consideration for Others. Before a young man or Woman makes what we call a start in life there should be some earnest thought on this point. A business career, it is often assumed; must in its very nature be selfish. Enough if we can atone by some disinterested use of leisure for the selfishness of our working hours. Many people have abandoned the notion of taking a lofty view of business life. "Business is busi- ness," they say, as if the remark were the last word of wisdom and there is nothing more to he said. But when this business life of ours is just beginning we may take a nobler and more wholesome view. Let us fix it firmly in our thought that business is serviee. To do business is to serve our fellow -men. There is room in every business life for a character for integrity, gener- osity, humanity, consideration of others. • Get the perspective right. Seo that here also first thine can be kept in the first place'and there is no need to thrust ideale into the background. BABY'S TEETHING THU • On returning to her home after a short absence a woman who lives at Plessis-Luzarches, France, in the department of Seine -et -Oise, found a kitchexs window broken and the rooms ransacked. She was fright- ened and fetched a police officer, who after carefully .sea,rehing every room heard enures coming from the wine cellar. With his revolver in his hand he entered the cellar with great caution. There he found, ly- ing dead drunk oia the floor, three brothers named °allot, Whose ages are seven, five and three. They were the burglars, and thej, had broken into the house to -get calm and wine. • +1/ Don't waste your time carrying • about the time you have wasted, • Mothers field baby's teething a seam!) of great anxiety—the little One becimees restless and nerv.oes; he becomes cross and cannot sleep, and .somotintes constipation, dior- rhocs, colic or convulsions seize him.

Professor Tells the Marks of Vitro ions Types, If you meet a man coming down the street whose nosede large and aquiline and perhaps a bit twisted, whose lips are swollen and pro- truding and whose ears are large, will large lobes, it might be just as wise to right about face and take to your heels, for in all probability that man is a murderer—potent- ially if not actually. If the man raises his hat and dis- plays a plentiful thatch of hair, if it is not gray, if his forehead re- cedes and his skull is abnormally large, coming to a noticeable point, you can be sure that you have <hag- aosed his case correctly and can accelerate your pace without laying! yourself open to the charge of cow- ardice, At least that is what Prof. Fred- erick A. Bushes says. The thief has the same egglike head that marks the murdered and the same long arras and big ears, but he can be distinguished by .his flattened, nose, His face is apt to show many wrinkles, especially on the aide of the face and in the forehead, prob- ably (mused by the shape of the skull. This is a mark of all born criminals, as is the depression at the base of the skull, which prob- ably indicates a similar depression in the brain. The swindler can be recognized -by his thin lips. His features will probably be asymmetrical, one side of the. face being different from the other. This characteristic is not confined to awindlers or to crim- inals, but is one of the traits gen- erally found in conjunction with the others mentioned. If a man is bald or gray haired, according to the professor, you can bo reasonably certain that he is not a born criminal. Of course he may be of a class of unscrupulousmoney makers, but he ca,n't blame his wrongdoing on heredity. MTS.

Can Always Rely on Six Eggs a Day—Retire Early. The architectural enterprise of Mr. Woollard, who has a fowl farm on the roof of his home in Mincing - Lane, London, England, will com- mend itself to all thrifty house- wives. The average man may be content with the regulation allowance of chimneys and slates on his roof, but it is two and a half years ago since Mr. Woollard; caretaker of Mar- ket buildings, Mincing Lane, put together some beards and wire net- ting and added a fowlhouse to tEe Met part of his roof. Fowl keeping in the city is a pro- fitable businees. Mr. Woollard hag seven birds—ono Houdan, two W3r- nada-boa, three White Leghorns, and one Cambridge game, which has just hatched ant five chickens. He estimates their joint boatel and lodging expenses at Is, a week, and can rely an an average supply lof six eggs a day. When asked how town life agreed with his fowls, Mr. Woollard told a newspaper representative that he had never given way to them on that point, "Town birds must keep an early hours as thein country eousine," he said, "Fog make:3 no difference to their laying. Since November '7 last year they have laid 561 eggs." Smoke Inspector Roberts, of Cleveland, Ohio, estimates that there is an annual waste of 56,- 000,000 through the chimneys of that city.

She Was Helpless For Two Years Why Mrs, Baldwin Recommends Dodd's Kidney Pills. She Could Find Nothing to Cure Iler Rlzauxnatbsm TUI On a Neigh- bor's Adele° She Tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. St, Walburg, Sask., June 0 (Bele- ears truly recommend Dodd' s Kidney Pills for any one suffering from rheumatism." These are the words of Mrs. W. A, Bald- win, a highly respected resident of dhis place. And Mrs. Baldwin gives her reasons "I was nearly helpless with rheu- matism for two year," she states. "I got medicine from tho doctor, and tried several other remedies, but nothing helped me. Then one of my neighbors advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I bought four boxes, and they helped me almost from the first, I have used nearly two dozen boxes and am nearly cured.". That rheumatism is ono of the results of diseased kidneys is again shown in Mrs. Baldwin's ease. She had headaches, stiffness of the joints and backache, her sleep was broken and unrefreshing, and she was always, tired and nervous. Her limbs swelled and she was always thirsty. These are all symptoms of diseased kidneys. When she cured her kidneys with'.Docid'e Kidney Pills, the symptoms vanished—and so did the rheumatism. TELL PEOPLES AGE BY EARS. They Continuo to Grow When Rest of Body Stops. Persons who have large ears in their youthful days are decidedly unluelcy, according to students of anatomy, for no other portion of the human body is so ambitious in its growth. We get old and shrivel up and decrease in stature, but the ear still grows. A woman with nisei' eare ab twenty probably will have medium- sized ears at forty and largo ears at sixty. Again it is said, as the result of the exeministion o/ 40,000 pairs of eats' than probably no per- son in the ewerld has ears perfectly matched. In. most people the two ears differ perceptibly, not only in shape, but in, size. Frequently they are not placed on the head at ex- actly the same angle or at the same height. • It is declared by those who have devoted their time and abilities to the study of ears that the age of a person can be judged by them with great accuracy by an expert. After the age of ten, ears assume an increased form andgive the clue to the age of the owner. Norden, Lombroso, and others, lay great stress upon the ear as an indication of charaacter '• yet some of the best men. we meet have outrageous ears, while almost everybody can recall 501)10 bold, bad man of his acquain- tance) who has shall, well formed and well placed ears.

German Soldiers Chew Cordite, the Explosive. One a the troubles of most Euro- pean armies is that those soldiers who can get hold of it insist on using that terrible explosive cor- dite as if it were a sort of chewing egum. Its popularity is due to the fact that when ofiewed in email quanti- ties it has a stimulating and ex- hilarating effect, like email doses of alcohol. Its taste, too, ie weat, cordite being three-fifths nitro-gly- cerine, an explosive which is sugary ot the taste. When chewed in large quantities cordite becomes more powerful in its effects, bringing on a blissful state of ecstasy, and sometimes making the victim of the habit see visions. But the real danger of the habit lies in the fact that though nitro-glyeerine will only explode when given a very hard blow or touched by a,n electric spark, there is always a possibility that the grinding of exceptionally hard teeth might provide the necessary hard blow, Within the last few years at.leaat three soldiers—tsvo German and ono Austrian—have been blown to bits, the use of cor- dite as a chewing -gum heing tho suspected cause.
