Lumber Company at Big Lake, Wash, effected a very substantial saving. More, and
'larger loaves of better bread were obtained. M AND WE HAD NO WASTE," writes
the Lumber Company's Baker, "ALL THE BREAD I MADE WAS EATEN BY THE
MEN" MORE LOAVES AND NO WASTE-REAL ECONOMY

Tlie wood Are In the open eriite. Tlie
quint liour of u wintry evr nlng. Who
does not revel In the combination? Ilio
pictures In the flumes. The musings
us the flr crackles, the only tsound In
the stillness.
Ancients In Persln, In oilier land
and times, worshiped flrc. It was the
symbol of purity, purlikatlon. Poctn
have found the II ro on the hearth an
Inspiration. Painters have styn pic
tures In tho Blowing coal's. We see
them, too, In the silence of tho evening
time.
Hut the wood fire In the open grate
Is more than a f.vmbol of purity, more
than 4 creature comfort, more than a
sign of personal prosperity, more than
a retting for dream pictures. It's a
symbol of action. It's a picture of
ambition. It's an Incitement to en
deavor. The flames are never still while
there's material to reach. Reaching,
reaching, grasping, keeping, never con
tent, never Idle. Action 1 That's whut
the wood lire In the open (rate Is say
ing. The flames leap higher , and higher
so long as there Is fuel u feed them.
When the fuel Is consumed the flumes
wither and die.
Ambition must be fed. That's the
lesson of the fire.' You can't get the
fire of ambition to burn In the work
er's brain to energize his hand unless
It Is fed, and fed again. Take away
Incentive, make labor Ineffective, and
the laborer's ambition dies. And what
Is a man without ambition! An ox
without an edge. Milwaukee Journal.
According to Theory, Electrical Action
Is Retpontible for Storms That
Frequently Do Damage.
The formation of hall through elec
trical action, according to one theory,
Is an Interesting and even wonderful
process. The wind draws out & cjpud
Into a long, narrow strip? In tuLl
form, owing to the great amount of
furface exposed to the air, the cloud
evaporates rapidly, producing Intense
cold. 1 . v-. .
Dry particles of snow are then form
ed, and these, by friction with the wa
ter drops, quickly become charged with
fitgallve electricity. But the water
drops carrj posJUve electricity, and
since negative attracts positive a film
of water Is formed upon each snow
particle and Is Instantly frozen into
a layer of thin Ice.
At this thickness its outer surface
remains moist, the water not freezing
so rapidly there, whereupon the elec
trical charge changes from negative to
positive and the particle Is repelled by
the water drops and driven to the
outer parts of the cloud. Here the in
creased cold covers It with snow, and
friction charges It anew with negative
electricity.
Repulsion Is now once more changed
for attraction, and the particle rushes
back Into the cloud, receiving upon Its
surface another film of water, which
Is turned Into a second Ice layer.
Thus the growing hailstone darts
zig-zag through the cloud, piling up Its
alternate layers of snow and Ice, until
gravitation gnlns control and sends It
with a Jingling crowd of Its fellows
spinning to the ground. ' H,'-i
-" A Sad World. $u
I am cursed with good manners. I
cannot grab for food. I cannot take
the choice morsel of a dish. I Instinc
tively choose the most-uncomfortable
seat. I make way for others at the
ticket office. I let everyone push ahead
of me to secure the remaining seats
of a subway coach. I suffer when
forced to take a proffered seat. I do
not interfere with the conversation of
shopgirls behind the counter. I wait
I accept Invitations from "persons" de
sirous of showing off their homes or
their cash In restaurants.
I listen patiently to platitudes of the
young or to the discoverers of Oscar
Wilde and Bernard Shaw. I figure that
men are vainer than women. I smile
upon annoying children. I admire the
costuming of all the women I know.
Unless hysterical, I never Inquire of
my love where he has been, whither
going or whom he has seen. I give
everyone the preference of liberty. I
take pleasure In contemplating my
lost opportunities. G. Vere Taylor, in
Judge.
Kindness to Animals and People.
So much of childish cruelty is
thoughtless that the help to be ob
tained from Bands of Mercy Is sp
parent To make a boy understand the
misery that his alrgun and his fish
hook may cause, to show the cowardly
cruelty in throwing stones and In, hurt
ing Innocent and defenseless creatures
this Is what the Band of Mercy may
accomplish.
There Is abundant testimony from
teachers who have Introduced humane
teaching Into their schools, to the effect
that the children are not enly kinder
to the lower animals, but also more
thoughtful and considerate toward
each other.
We want our boys and girls to be
strong and brave, but In no way can
their strength and bravery be made
more certain than In protecting the
weak and helpless.
