FROM YOUR NARROW LITTLE WINDOW. “f think,” said a Decatur girl, ’ that the happiest gift of all wmgiven to her of whom the poet said, ‘Oft-times her narrow kit, lien walls, Stretched away into spacious palace halls.’ She had Ute gift of pleasant imagination, that glorifies surroundings, no matter how hunihle, while the r ; - gers are busy doing that which comes nearest at hand. "We are so prone to chafe over our narrow little space in the world, to long for other, tar Hi - tant things and to forget, while so doing, our own little work in our own little corner, lint after all. our life is determined, not by that ‘walls' which seem to b- <1 ■ us in, and confine us, lint our outlook through the walls. Now t! 'walls' may be our environment, or the limitations which keep u anchored to our one little spot: the window, or outlook, is outideal or imagination: anti tin telescope which determines tiedistance of our outlook, and what we can see there is our knowledge or insight into these " which cross our outlook ■‘So many long to ‘go somewhere,’ to go to a big cit-..' otto some 'far distant' place where opportunities' are bigger. Whv one should want to do so, has always been a matter of wonder to me. In no place are opportunities better than in your own little corner. Unless you hav. that insight or knowledge th- - you to look into the things that cross your visi< there, you cannot se ■ them elswhere. Your range of vision ; not more comprehensive in 'bigger' place than it is in a lit tie place. Unless you carry you' telescope with you everywhere, you cannot see more, and t is no use in dragging it around in the jostling world until yon b;iv>exhausted your range of vi-'on at home. “At home there is a delirht ' little room close under the n- th west corner of the eaves, win -• the sun’s rays fall lightly and it is ever cool- This room has only one little window, but there is i largo door at the other side, ami with the cot drawn close to tiewindow. SO that the cool a blows directly into your :a • there is no more delightful i to sleep, when warm w-atlu-r comes. “When I am not too tired at night I love to lie and look from this narrow little window' It I m inspiration It is narrow to be sure, and there is not very muto be seen if you look down to ward the ground, or sidewise, but so very much when yon 10-- 1 ‘straight out or upwards ’ houses, save one, hedge in vour view here, and you can see so far. Over there is an o’ - hard (first the blossoms, then 1 fruit, aud harvest), where innmi erable birds are nesting, or wh- - innumerable little insects s, ■ I forth their droning sounds to i world. What a myriad of thii--to learn about. Then there lithe fields'of grain inviting study. Already we have suggestion ■ leading to the study of animal and plant life. A road >ri our vision, leading to all part.- o the globe, inviting the study o geography anti nations. \ ’ ,|f ’- phone line, with its many cables, also crosses our vision, and what wonderful tales of light and life, weal and woe. sorrow or sun shine, cross those very strands They might, with a litle imagination, be woven into tal- s m"" wonderful than an) ever told. But most wonderful of -‘ll are the stars' To be film! 1,1 because It gives you the chain e to look up at the stars' is one oi the guide posts on the footpath to peace, as discovered by Heni Van Dyke. These stars sing of many Worlds, both temporal -nd eternal. We may not be able t<> name ♦very one of the hundreds there, but we all know 1 I"' Great Dipper.” Every nig! ’ '* hangs there in its pl-»- 1 though ever ready to pour ' its blessings- Every star its own little corner in I"' 1 '

we may always he sure of that. I here is no scurrying a.ound of these stars to hunt a better or greater opportunity in some other place—they are always there, each shining in Its own little corner and it would be s sadly troubled world if we awoke some time to find atty of them scuttling off to find a better place-’ Ami then each star is suggestive. It looks like a bright little golden window into ‘the better world In fact I think of each of those little stars of the dipper' as the window through which some dear friend 'gone before’ is smiling and twinkling and beckoning as they look down and guard us ” “Get your window and your teles< ope and llok out and up."

Greeley, ('at, July 24. —Do you I know why women are curious? They are always hungry- -that’s why. Anyhow, that is what President G. Stan’ey Dall, of (’lark university, Worcester,. Mass.. one of the greatest psychci-1 cgists of the day, said in a lecture at; the State Teachers' college. He added that a clean napkin, flowers and table talk were great aids to digestion and that good cooking was one of the be ,t aids to temperance known to sciem ■■■. "Nutritive processes underlie all | other functions,'' ho said, "and ever} form of disease and deatli is due to I starvation of some kind." "(’ell hunger is responsible for all j activities.
