Beek truth, accuracy and esactb tude. Better be plain, matter of fact and a bit old-fashioned than to go wabbling through life unsupported by a strong, underlying principle, and especially by the good opinion of your Intimates. Rather than make a promise which you know tn your heart cannot be kept, bold your tongue, or you'll slip In spite of yourself from the base of verity. By some, the truth at times may be termed undiplomatic, but It never falls to hold for the eternal ages the full weight of any structure you may elect to build upon It. And certainly, tbe conscience Is lighter, the eye Is steadier, and the character la stronger for the effort. Those who may be Inclined to fancy that this Is not so are at liberty to make tbe experiment and Judge for themselves. It Is difficult now and then to strike the nicest balance between a question­ able truth und a plausible lie, but ^ moment's clear thinking will usually dispel any lingering doubt. To do as much good as we can, to think thoughts that we are not asliamod to utter, to be charitable ought to b.- our dominating purpose. If In these things we fall in the slightest degree, we are building our reputation on a support of san. like­ ly at any moment to shift Its po. tlon and wreck the good name we have been striving years to construct. Even the best of us. especially In our emotional moments, when tongues are glib and Imaginations are >uper- heated. Inclina to equivocation. In aplte of our good breeding and honor­ able Intentions. If by chance we should be found out, our ‘reputation goes to pieces. All we have to go and come on Is our language. Should we trip up In Its use, or deliberately put words In wrong places, we elect our earthly structure on a bed of sand which In later years brings us face to face with humiliating disaster.

WILLIAMS U by McClure New«y«per £)**lic*t« ) Everybody knew Miss Jessi«* Kap* per for a person of tbe highest prin­ ciples; what was not so »<41 known was that her thrift, which was alike hereditary and habitual, forbade use of tbe principles for every day. She spoke eloquently of tbe larger vision, world humanity, harmony with cosmic law, above all, the crying need of the uplift. She was, further, more than generous of her time und her breath for all nmnm-r of causes that might serve as pedestals. Notwith­ standing, there were chuckles from the unregenorate mass over the wash­ erwoman's verdict: "Hit ain't only that she wants to he bell-wether or no sheep—somebody else must pay for the bell.” She looked exceedingly well to the ways of the household—her mother was an invalid, her father away half the time In congress. That gave her added prestige. If site didn't go to Washington with the gen"r:tl. tier mother was excuse quite sufficient— and daughterly devotion was thus nn added asset. She paid cash for every­ thing save her subscription to church and charity— for them she set apurt the increment of her small economies. She loathed extravagance— espe­ cially the Carroll Benton sort. Car- roll also kept house for a rather help­ less family—a pretty, frightened. In­ capable mother, and a scientific fa­ ther, who lost himself in his work. Luckily they had a fixed Income—a fairish one—but Carroll wore clothes It pained Mrs. Grundy to see, admit­ tedly because she could not afford bet­ ter. Vet she bought the best of every­ thing In market—not always the cost­ liest rarities, but the best of Its sort. She kept a maid for her mother, and a man-cook, who also looked after the lawn and the laboratory both, at wages that seemed fabulous to Atlyn- town, the while doing her own sewing, and even making over her hats. She had little parties, too— very simple— cake and lee cream or tea and sand­ wiches In cherry or strawberry time —the fruit serving In place of sweets. There was dancing, too, on the piazza or the grass, to the phonograph thnt was Mamma Beaton’s consolation New records for It, costly ones at that, further Jarred Miss Kapper’s amiabil­ ity. So badly. Indeed, she said out­ right to her gossip. Miss Susan Fife: "If ever anybody needed a guardian It Is Carroll Beaton—unless she gets one of some sort, she'll die on th<4 town.” “ She can get a mighty fine one, any minute she’ll say ‘yes,’ ’* Susan re­ turned smiling slyly. Miss Kajvper bridled, saying acidly: “ You don't really believe John llunt- ly has serious Intentions? I know he goes there right along—hot It's tn see the professor, same as It has always been—” “ Maybe he's saltin’ the old cow for the ca lf—but I have my doubts,” from the gossip.

The rapid propagation of smells no­ ticed In the otien air appears due en­ tirely to currents, alnce in small tubes, where currents do not exist, the rate Is found to be very small. Exj>eri- ments along this line were first under­ taken In F.ngland. and additional data have been re|M>rted In this country. With sinmonla diffusing through a tube a meter and a half long, more than two hours elapsed before the smell could he detected at the other end of the tube Using different lengths of tubing. It wns found that the time required for the diffusion of the smell was roughly proportioned to the square of the length. Ammonia and hydrogen sulphide were used for these experiments. The presence of ammonia could be detected chemically at a point In a tube after about the same time as when tbe sense o f smell was used for a detector. The rate of propaga­ tion of the smell of ammonia was not markedly different when this had to pass along the same tube either hori­ zontally or vertically downward. With camphor, however, while the rates horizontally and downward werp about the same, the speed upward was about twice as grent. The smell given to Iron and brass by rubbing these with the fingers was also tried, but gave no definite resulta. Queer Sheep.
