Smokeless Powder.
Some smokeless powders decompose
after awhile, and as a result of such
deterioration they are likely to ex
plode spontaneously. The destruction
of the French warship I.iberte, which
blew up in 1011, is thought to have
been caused by such an a evident. As
a precaution against such tragic hap
penings all the powder of that kind
used by our own navy is put through
a process of remanufaoture every five
years, and there is a regular fortnight
ly Inspection of the stuff on hand on
every battleship and cruiser. When
it decomposes it gives out reddish,
acrid fumes, which should give ample
warning of the threatened danger.—

KINDNESS.
Do not be afraid of spoiling any
one with kindness. It can't be
done. Instead of spoiling it beau
tifies the character, cheers the heart
and helps to raise the burden from
shoulders which, though brave,
sometimes grow very tired. Let
not a little coldness frighten you
away, for under a frigid exterior
there is always to he found a ten
der chord which is to he touched
by kindness.
Lords and Commons.
An ancient English custom forbids
the participation of a peer In the elec
tion of a commoner, so that when a
general election is in progress
the lords are oratorically muzzled by
a fiction that supposes them to be quite
indifferent to the composition of the
lower house, but until the candidates
have been actually nominated the
peers may use all the eloquence with
which nature has endowed them for or
against the issue involved in the ap
proaching election.
Puzzled.
An old settler down Nola Chucky
way when the Paint Rock line first
began to run through his district un
dertook to explain the workings of the
steam engine to a little crowd of
friends. As he talked a train ran past
the station and then backed up. This
procedure of backing quite flabbergast
ed the old settler.
"By gosh, boys!" he confessed. "I
kin understand how the engine pulls
the cars, but I'll be busted if I see how
them cars pull the engine."—Exchange.
Poisonous Gas Geyser.
In the midst of the great faunal wil
derness near Nairobi, Africa, is a big
blowhole in the earth issuing poison
ous gases. Surrounding this hole for
many yards are piled bones of dead
animals, poisoned by this gas geyser.
Dogs dragged by ropes over the hole
were killed in less than a minute. The
gas has been found to be hydrochloric,
coming from some volcanic depth. The
death trap has been fenced and billed
all around with warnings.—New York
Press.
Aye, There'# the Rub.
If we had to turn our own grind
stones we wouldn't have so many axes
to grind.—Cincinnati Enauirer.

Assets and Liabilities.
An asset is something which you
think belongs to you. A liability is
something of yours which others think
belongs to them. Neither one of you
is quite right. An asset without a lia
bility would not Ik? called an asset.
Neither would a liability without an
asset be called a liability. It would
then be debt, while an asset without
liability would be wealth or capital or
property.
An asset is what you think you own.
A liability is what others think you
otre. What your liabilities are depend
upon your assets. What your assets
are depend upon your liabilities.
Therefore* an asset is a liability and a
liability is an asset. —Rife.
FLAG FOR VICE PRESIDENT, j
American Eagle on a White Square.
Exposition Trip the Cause.
The vice president of the United
States is to have an official flag. When
ever he visits an American warship his
flag will flutter from the masthead.
The flag will be a snow white square 1
of bunting, on the field of which will |
be a blue bird representing the eagle in
the coat of arms of the United States.
The president's flag consists of the coat
of arms of the nation on a blue field.
This is the first time that there has
been prescribed for the vice president
a distinctive flag to be displayed on
naval vessels while he is on board.
The president, the secretaries and the
assistant secretaries of the depart
ments of war and the navy all have
distinctive flags. The admirals, vice
admirals and rear admirals have dis
tinctive flags.
It remained for Secretary Daniels to
provide the vice president with a flag.
His action growu out of the fact that
Mr. Marshall is going to San Francisco
to represent President Wilson at the ex
position. He is to be received on board
the cruiser Colorado, the flagship of
Admiral Howard, commander in chief
of the Atlantic fleet; bence the new
flag, which will be a permanent institu
tion of honor to che - president
Popular Poverty.
Katie, aged seven, was the only child
of Mr. and Mrs. Jones. One day, wLvn
the new minister called, Katie, upon
her own invitation, went into the par
lor to entertain him until her mothet
came down stairs. As she approached
the parlor door, Mrs. Jones heard the
' minister ask Katie how many children
her mother had. and was very much
surprised to hear her little daughter
reply "six."
Her mother wisely made no comment
I upon the startling reply of the child
but sent her out to play, and when the
minister's visit was over she asked
Katie why she had told him that her
mother had six children, and was more
dumfounded than ever when Katie
said. "Because. I did not want the
strange gentleman to know that you
were so poor that you didn't have but
one child."—National Monthly.
An Efficiency Recipe.
Be earnest, but be calm, no matter
what happens. A man may learn to
treble his day's work by systematically
shutting out all feeling during office
hours. What fatigues and annoys us

Recipe for efficiency: Be a plodder by
day and a poet by night. Do youi '
planning, your dreaming, your resolv
ing, when silence and solitude open the j
mind for great thoughts and purposes;
then appear to the world just as an or

How to Tell if It Is Silver.
To distinguish silver from white
metal the Jeweler and Metalworker
gives the following directions: Rub on
a pieee of slate, wet the streak with
dilute nitric acid, by which it is dis- j
solved, and then a drop or two of
hydrochloric acid from the end of a
glass rod, when a curdy white precip
itate is formed which does not disap
pear on the addition of a small or i
large quantity of water, being, in fact,
indissoluble in this, while most other i
metals will not be thus affected.

SYMPATHY.
To give and take appears to be (
the inevitable law, and it seems as
if those who have suffered most are
those who have given most to us,

I and sympathy. —Miss Thackeray. j

How Could He Tell?
George was told to draw a line en
the blackljourd and write a sentence.
Instead of obeying instructions to the
letter he wrote the sentence first.
"George, why didn't draw the
line first, as I told you to do?' was the
teacher's impatient inquiry.
George regarded her with wondering
! eyes. Surely the ways of women were
beyend comprehension. Then he asked
i seriously: *
I "How could I tell where I'd want
i that line till I got it wrote?"—lndian

HUMILITY.
Humility is the means of progress.
AXTien we realize how little we know
we shall yearn and strive to know
more. When we feel how imper
fect is our character, and not till then,
we shall make earnest efforts after
our improvement.
Eye St rain.
There are two common kinds of eye
strain. It is a strain for a person
who is farsight ed t< do close work,
and it is a strain for one who is near
sighted to use the eyes for distances.
Both kinds of eye strain produce the
same symptoms—headache—and both
require that the eyes he examined and
glasses be provided.
M#nesty and Sagacity.
A successful business man once told
bis sou that only two things were nec
essary to make a great financier.
"And what are thoseV" the boy asked.
"Honesty and sagacity."
"But what do you consider the mark
of honesty to be?"
"Always to keep your word."
"And the mark of sagacity?"
"Never to give your word!"
Association.
"A man is known by the company he
keeps."
'Aes," replied Miss Cayenne, "and
many men are unknown by the com
pany they prefceud to keep."—Washing
