conn, — Dewoceal fina. Belletonte, Pa., July 30, 1915. Charts for Commercial Geography. Commercial geography as it is now widely taught in the public schools by listing the various imports and ex- ports of countries and the products of different cities fails to give a clear ideaof the relative importance of the materials listed. It frequently hap- pens that the second or third item onea list may have only one-fenth the importance of the first item. Because the three names are given one aftew the other, the pupil is quite likely to consider the three items of equal im- portance, just as three persons may be of different height, yet of about the same importance. The graphic meth- od judiciously applied to school geog- raphy and to general commercial geog- raphy would make a tremendous dif- ference in the student’s grasp of the subject.—Engineering Magazine. Supremity of Business. There never was a time in all his- toty when our national life has been s0 interwoven in the transactions of business representing as it does the basic principle of progress and per- manent success, and the sneer at com- mercialism passes when we discover militarism only a cloak for it. The United States is proving to the world how inconsequential are those things which have been felt to be paramount in the building up of a nation, such as military power and frowning fortifi- cations along the border, for business is something that concerns individuals and the home welfare, and requires no apology in this day of glorified peace- ful industry, which is another name for “Americanization.”—How’s Busi- ness,” Promineat Business Men, in Na- tional Magazine. New Patron Saint. Polar explorers now have their pa- tron saint in the person of St. Chris- topher, whose medallion, presented by Queen Alexandra of England, is affixed to the Endurance. Not long ago the equally modern profession of short- hand writers was similarly equipped. They fixed upon St. Genest, who suf- fered martyrdom for refusing to tran- scribe an imperial decree. That is an odd reason, but not more odd than many which have weighed in other transactions of the kind. The pa- tron saint of skaters is St. Ludwina, who fell on the ice and sustained in- juries which she bore with exemplary patience, and St. Cyril was long re- garded as the patron of Slavs on the ground that he was ‘the apostle of the Slavi.” Asbestos Kids. He was nine years old and practical, and as he came home from Sunday school the mystery of the Sunday school lesson fell upon him. The les- son was about the three men cast into the blazing furnace. The teacher had made it very plain. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were their names, and by the power of faith they had been rescued from the fiery pit unharmed. The story was past all com- prehension. Testament miracle. “Tell you what, mother,” he added, after .explaining the marvelous lesson the best he knew how, “them was sure three asbestos | kids!” Digestion During Sleep. Digestion goes on effectively during sleep. The evening meal is digested during the night. The midday meal, especially when it is heavy, causes drowsiness in some persons. The proof that digestion is active in the night is the fact that waste is gen- erally accumulated in the morning. Furthermore, in the case of persons who have died during the night, the autopsy shows that digestion is fur- ther advanced the longer the period intervening between the last meal and death; from this fact the probable time of death has been indicated at coroner’s inquests. False Alarm. The sexton was showing a holiday party around the church, says the Man- chester Guardian, when someone asked him if he feared a suffragette attack. “I'd quite a turn the other morning,” said the sexton. “I see one one of our ladies going in the church with a ’ammer in ’er and. She turns rund quite upset, and says, ‘How dare you think I’m going to break windows? That Mrs. X——, who sits in my pew, will use my hassock. I'm going to nail it to the floor in my place.” And she did.” Sr ———————— Snake Farms in Tropics. Two snake-infested countries, India and Brazil, maintain “snake farms” at which a scientific study of serpents is being pursued. The venom from the poisonous ones is extracted and made into a serum for curing persons who have been bitten. The Brazilian insti- tution, near Sao Paulo, is maintained at an expense of $40,000 a year. Be- sides preparing serums the ‘snake farm?” tries to spread knowledge about snakes and induce farmers not to kill them indiscriminately.—The Outlook. CASTORIA - Bears the signature of Chas. H.Fletcher. In use for over thirty years, and The Kind You Have Always Bought. It was a miracle—an Old | Low Countries in Fiction. Both Belgium and Holland, in the guise of the Low Countries, as they used to be called, figure very promi- nently in English fiction. Thackeray, in particular, placed very many scenes there, as every reader of “Esmond” and “Vanity Fair” will recall. Namur deserves a very special place in lite- rary affections from its associations with “Tristram Shandy.” It was the fortifications of this city that “My | Uncle Toby,” assisted by “Corporal | Trim,” spent his time in constructing | in miniature replica. It was also “My | Uncle Toby,” it ts interesting to recall, | who was responsible for that classic phrase, “Our troops swore horribly in Flanders.” The Retort Courteous. The telphone girls are forbidden to “answer back,” no matter how abu- sive a customer may be. Sometimes They get around these hard conditions in a very clever way. An instance of the retort courteous happened recently . in Los Angeles in one of the big ex- changes. : After vainly trying for ten minutes to get the number he had asked for, the irate customer shouted: “What the deuce is the matter with you tele- phone girls, anyhow—are you all crazy?’ ; The answer came with exasperating | sweetness: “I don’t know. Ask ine formation.” You and Your Work. Is work a burden? Do you rebel at everything and are you withholding your best efforts? Get another place! It is time for you to give your notice | and attach yourself to another bread | line. Never let work overpower you | with its demands on energy. The man | or woman who dies in the traces, with- | out the joy of work, may have a big funeral, heads of the onlookers are of little | worth to the personality that has gone | too soon. Make your work contribute to the joy of living. Make it help you | to grow. Look for something in the | near future that will do this. | i i To Remove iodine Stains.

Our first years at school were not made easy and joyous to us by the modern methods of the Kkin- dergarten and other similar sys- tems of acquiring knowledge with- out effort, and we thereby es- caped the effects of the fallacy that learning and education can be at- tained without pains and concentra- tion of the mind. We were constantly drilled at school in mental arithmetic and other studies of a kind not much relished, I am told, by the youth of to- day and unfashionable with modern educators of young children; and at home we were urged in season and out, as we then thought, to improve our minds, to contemplate serious things, and especially and most fre- quently, to read good books, particu- larly those books which required ef- fort for their understanding and mas- tery.—George P. Brett in the Atlantic. Few Have the Opportunity. “Never look a gift horse in the mouth” may be good advice to the one man in a million who is fortunate enough to have a horse given him. St. George and the Dragon. It is rather surprising to find St. George and his dragon turning up on that stretch of the Danube which parts Hungary from Servia, remarks the London Chronicle. But the cav- ern of Golubacz on the Hungarian side, opposite to the castle of the same name in Servia, can support by circumstantial evidence its claim to have been the scene of the encounter. It is true that the “Golden Legend” localizes the dragon in a “pond like a sea” in Libya. But the champions of Golubacz relate that, having slain the dragon, St. George left the carcass in the cavern, where it has ever since bred®innumerable flies. And, as Mr. Walter Jerrold notes, there is no doubt about the flies. In the early summer swarms of them cover spaces of six or seven miles, and they have often proved fatal to horses. Daily Thought.
