HOW
CHARMING MANNERS ARE
WITHIN REACH OF ALL.—
Not long ago u certain bride
was described by everyone
us "charming." The adjective
fitted exactly. Yet it might have
been a misfit! It is possible for
a maid —or a man—to be en
dowed with good looks and to
be possessed of many excellent
qualities, yet not be “charm
ing.”
With some people charm Is a
natural endowment, but it also
happens to be something which
can be cultivated, and thus is
within the reach of all of us.
Its effect is that we make many
friends ami no enemies. There
are today two men in parlia
ment. One is possessed of
charm —therefore lffs path Is
smooth. The other, with many
gifts, lacks charm, and has to
fight every inch of his way
along.
But what Veally Is (his potent
“charm"? The dictionary defi
nition is, “A spelt; fascination;
that which delights nnd en
thralls.” But this hardly satis
fies. We think rntner of a qual
ity resting on the double foun
dation of perfect manners and
never-varying courtesy. Then
come the sunny temperament
and the ready smile that is its
outward expression. Last, but
by no means least, is the “hu
man touch” —compound of sym
pathy, understanding and tact.
All this is summed up In the (
one word “charming.” And 1
charm is within the reach of all i
of us.

How Cat Fafls on Its Paw*.
Does pussy always fail on her paws?
How does she manage it?
The movements of a falling cat
have been recorded on the cinemato
graph, and, seen in detail, they afford
a marvelous Instance of nature’s pro
tection.
The tendency of a falling body is to
fall straight, hut the cat is able to
counteract this tendency by using its
flexible and extremely muscular body.
By means of a series of spasmodic
twists, from one side to the other, the
animal can maneuver itself into such
an angle that it can land squarely on
Hie India rubber pads of its paws.
The whole complicated process is
purely instinctive —the cat automatical
ly makes the right movements.
If the distance it falls is sufficient
to allow it to tiring into play its nat
ural “self-righting” machinery, a cat
will land on its feet, unless, of course,
it fell so far as to stupefy itself by Its
rush through the, air.
How Skin Is Organ of Sight.
There Is scientific proof that two
creatures which have no eyes at nil
can yet see. These are the ordinary
earthworm and a certain beetle which
only comes out at night. Doctor Farl
goule, a French scientist, declares that
sightless people may be trained to use
their skin so as even to distinguish col
ors and shapes and read letters. Many
living things without ears can hear.
Our sk4n not only feels, hut breathes,
and to a certain extent does the same
work as the kidneys in expelling waste
matter. Doctor Farigoule states that
the skin is an organ of sight, not as
the eyes, but better than nothing.
How Pholography Is Speeded.
Through an apparatus operated by
rapidly revolving mirrors, Dr. J. A.
Anderson, a member of the staff of
Mount Wilson observatory, can take a
photograph with an exposure of one
ten-millionth of a second. Doctor An
derson disclosed ids discovery before
members of the American Physical so
ciety at a session held at the California
Institute of Technology. }
The instrument, which was built at
the observatory and is in successful
operation, Is usually set at one ten-inil
lionth of a second,, but by adjustments
the speed can be increased to one one
hundred-millionth of a second in rare
instances. <
Why ‘‘Dog-Tired."
Of all animals, the dog most plainly
•hows Its fatigue. The cat, when
tired out, will creep away to its ac
customed place, hut the dog,
when tired, just sleeps where he lays.
A pavement or a floor is all the same
to him, and there lie abandons him
self to refit, giving the impressing of
the last degree of weariness. *As
tired as a dog” is therefore a very
natural phrase—and was in use as far
back as the days of Shakespeare. J

What Do You Bring Home?
(By John Carlyle, in Atlanta Jour
nal)
This is a little Jalk for husbands
only—especially husbands who are
not satisfied with their homes. There
are many such, and l iay are mostly
to klame.
Most of us long ago -dropped into
the way of thinking that wives are
responsible for homes. That habit of
thought is an inhuitance from gen
erations gone. Tradition says that
men go out and earn the bread while
women make and keep the home. It
is not a fair division, for the making
and keeping of the homo is more im
portant and more difficult than the
mere 1 earning of money. Most any
man with health car. earn enough by
his labor to support his family and
himself, after a fashion. But making
a home what it ought to be, what it
may become, is a much more difficult
task.
Now it is not fair to give har
der job to the wife and leave her
alone to struggle with it. Most men
have plenty of time away from their
earning hours to do their share in
home-making apd home-keeping, too.
Check up on yourself. What do
you contribute #> make your home
what you want it to be and what
your family wants it to be, other
than the bare money *to pay the
bills?
Do you ever stop by the shop-win
dow, see a bit of something that
would look bright and cheerful in
your living room, buy ; t and take it
home as your contribution for that
day? Do you ever buy a book that
your wife would especially enjoy,or a
children’s magaziife, or do you just
buy books for yourself?
And there arc greater contribu
tions than all these. Far greater.
What do you do to help yyur wife
meet the problems that arise with
children? You say you work down
town all day and you mustn’t be
bothered with the children in the
evening. But your wife works at
home all day, and she needs rest
from the children just as much as
you do.
And there Is another contribution,
greater than all. What is your con
tribution of good temper, of pa
tience, of old-fashioned sweetness?
Husbands who "think they have done
their full duty when they have
brought home the cash are not mak
ing a fair split. They must do more
than this “if they are going to de
serve the kind of home they want,
and the kind of home they can help
1 make.
YOU GET WHAT YOU’RE LOOK
ING FOR
If you’re looking for shadows they
are thick on the way, <
For clouds may be seen on the sun
niest day,
And cold winds of winter blow some
times in May,
If that’s what you’re looking for.
If you’re looking for sadness it’s
here everywhere,
For the world is with
sorrow and care,
And burdens are waiting full heavy
to bear,
If that’s what ycju’re looking for.
If yoi*’re looking for falsehood and
shame and deceit,
They’re all in the world to bitter
life’s sweet,
And honesty’s waiting in many you
meet,
If that's what you’ro looking for.
But—if you’re looking for sunshine,
you’ll find it I know.
For all of the world is alight with
its glow,
And it’s glad rays will bless you
wherever you go,
.If that’s what you’re looking for.
The path may be rugged, indeed, so
it may,
But others are treading the same
flinty way,
And there’s joy in the travel by
helping each day,
If that’s what you're looking for.
To you who find falsehood, and
# , *
sham and deceit,
Oh, would you could know there are
true hearts that beat,
And then you would find that fife’s
, very sweet,
If that’s what you’se looking for.
—Maude Dillard Morris.
LARGEST TREE IN WORLD
70 FEET IN CIRCUMFERENCE
New Zealand now claims the world’s
largest Kauri tree. This -giant of the
; forest has a vast trunk that rises to a
height of 75 feet before the first
branch appears. It is estimated to be
about 2,000 years old,and has a dianv t
eter of 22 feet. Owing to its circum
ference of nearly 70 feet it would
be difficult to fell it.
