MISSED THAT DAY OF REST Tim Herlihy Naturally Dissatisfied at His Loss of That Much-Prized “Vacation.” 3 “Naw, I don’t think Timmy’! be Staying long on this new job he's took up wid,” suid Mrs. Herlihy. “'Tis too harrd fer him. Sure he gets no rist at all from Monda’ mornin’ till Satur- da’ night, and ‘tis not what the man’s used to.” “He has his Sundays to rist in,” hazarded the caller, botdly. “An’ what o’ that?” said Mrs, Her- ihy, “On Sunda’s he has to go to chureh, an’ tak the children to their | grandmama's an’ visit wid his coosins an’ all— ‘tis no rist at all.” “*Twas wan day out of ivery fort- nit he had wid the ould job, wa'n't it?” | queried the caller. “It was," said Mrs. Herlihy, ‘an’ ‘twas a grand vacation he had. I'd Save ivery bit o’ the washin,’ an’ he'd wring it out fine, an’ hang it on the Ine for me; thin he’d saw 'n’ shplit | Wood enough to last till the nixt vaca- tion day, an’ he’d bate ivery mat In the house an’ shine up the faucets | an’ the b'ller, an’ wash the winslys. an’ there’d always be some little ex- thra help, drivin’ nails or the like, he cud give me. “An' whin he'd go to his bed at night he'd niver fall to say to me, ‘Well Cella, my vacation day is over, but 1 feel like it’s made me ready to go back to wurrk to-morrer,’ he'd say.”"— Youth's Companion. GIRLS HELPED BY DANCING English Medical Officer of Health Makgs Significant Statement in a Recent Report. That twice as many girls as boys | squint fs one of the conclusions ar- | rived at by Dr. W. H. Hamer, medical | Officer of health. | In his report on London school chil- | dren, he attributes girls’ poorer eye | sight to sewing classes In school fn | the late afternoon while the light 1s at its worst, and when, In the winter months, artificial ight has to be used. Girls, however, according to Pr. Hamer, have better ‘teeth than boys, due to the fact that it,is easier to persuade the former to use a tooth- brush than the latter. Girls suffer, because of Jack of outdoor games and sports, more than boys from heart de- fects and anaemia. | But, in spite of all these disadvan- tages, the poise and deportment of Lon- | don girls is superior to that of boys. | Country boys and girls both fall short of the London gir! in this respect. Particularly ‘noticeable 1s the grace- | ful arch of her instep, due to her love of dancing. ‘This, and the teaching of dancing, is said to have greatly help- ed, if it has not saved, the situation In | regard to physical developmenut.—Lon- | don Tit-Bits. Money in Seaweed. All along the coast of Norway sea- | weed is gathered and burned. This seaweed grows in veritable forests, and is not of the common grass vari- ety. In fact, there are actual trees of it five or six feet high, with stems like ropes and leaves tough as leather. | They begin to sprout early in the year | and cover the ocean bed with a dense, | impenetrable brush. | As a source of income the seaweed industry now surpasses the fisheries, and it !s more valuable than agricul- | ture, even in one of the leading farm- ing districts of Norway. Owners of land abutting on the seashore reap a great harvest. | | After the weeds have been burned the ashes are exported to England, where valuable chemical substances are extracted from them. The most important of these products Is fodine. SS Detour When Necessary. Many people flatly refuse to take de- tours, The consequence is they re main right where they are. Either they do not possess the necessary pa- tlence and energy or they have an in- flated notion that they can disregard Ife’s laws. Of course you can sit down and fossilize wherever you want to so long as you don't impede the progress of others. But people who want to get on In life take the detours and make the most of them. They are no fonder of life’s grades and dan- gerous ditches than other people, but they want to get somewhere. So they make the venture. And when they keep their eyes and ears open, and keep control of their progress there is little danger of failing in safe con- duct. Meanwhile they are adapting themselves to circumstances and get- ting a grip on the world. They are learning how the people who always Hve on the detour have to struggle to | get along. ‘The knowledge will be | helpful in the days that are to be. Lost Honors Magelian Won. An astrologer deprived Ruy Faletro, the famous Spanish astronomer, of sharing joint honors with Ferdinand Magellan in the discovery of the Pa- cific ocean and the straits of Magel- lan, He had Joint contract with Ma- | gellan from Charles V under which the two were to have one-twenty-fifth of the clear profits of the Journey as well as governorship of all the lands dis- | covered on the trip, with the rank of adelantados. This was to be theirs for life and then handed down to their heirs forever. Before the date of sail- ing Faleiro had his horoscope cast. The astrologer said that this told him the trip would be fatal, and Faleiro 4 re. profit besides. 80 acre farm—more on a larger place. the wagon tracks and you don't have to goes onto the ground—none left to freeze or rot.

I looked at my feet. My cheeks flamed! I had crossed the floor with full three inches of trousers still turn ed up in proof that “'twas raining ta London.”—-Chicago ‘Tribune. New Anesthetic.

The value of the gas was underestimated by medf- cal men before the war, the statement eald, but because of Its tendency te in- crease blood pressure to strengthen the heart without producing a shock and to cause no depressing after effects, It cume into general use in the operating rooms of most hospitals before the end of the war.
