FOR COPYISTS AND WRITERS Work May Be Lightened and Better .leeults Obtained by Following These Simple Directions. The quickest way to copy with pen yr pencil ie to put a fiat, heavy weight over the upper edge of the paper on which you write, to hold It flrm and leave both hands free. Then place the matter to be copied flat on the desk at the left, as to bring it as near as possible to the blank paper With a finger of the left hand keep your place la the book or manuscript as you write, and you will find generally that yon cam oopy Quite fast in this way. For a paper weight a heavy oblong rectangular piece of braes or glass is most effective. The connecting of words by long pen strokes has very little bad effect on the legibility of the copy and certainly saves time. Os course, the stroke should be long enough to mark clearly the break between words. Writers who have a habit of dipping pens In the mucilage and putting the mucilage brush Into the ink may find it a good Idea to keep the mucilage bottle Invariably at one side of the desk, and the Inkstand at the other. Hatt of a lemon set firmly in a small shallow support and renewed from time to time will be found to remove the finish from old peim quickly and thoroughly. Another good way of bringing forth the possibilities of new steel pens is to lot some ink dry upon them before using. RACE KEEPS OH IMPROVING Modem Science Has Proved That Even in the Slums Four-fifths of Babies Bom Are Normal. The encouraging word of science that “heredity is overwhelmingly a force for the Improvement of the race;” that “the child at birth has. not a few months, but 10,000,000 years of unbroken Ufa to back him In his fight with environment,” and that “even in the slums four-fifths of all the children are born normal and healthy,” was proclaimed by Dr. Woods Hutchinson. "One excitable gentleman,” he said, "figured out that the rate at which Insanity was increasing we would al! be mad in a century and a quarter “He forgot that the increase was dne largely to the fact that more cases of insanity are cared for today that formerly. And, at the worst, only from 1 to 2% per cent, of humanity Is defer tive mentally. A careful use of negative eugenics, preventing the breeding of real defectives, can reduce that proportion almost to nothing “The great man oomes up from the masses. 40 per cent of the time in one bound from an unknown father; even oftener from unknown grandparents. Nearly 30 per cent of great men were delicate in childhood, though they are distinctly long-lived and robust in manhood The reason why more great men do not come from the really poor Is that the stress of early environment does not let them live ” Right! Get up right in the morning. Go to bed right at night. Start with Joy in your heart, hope In the future, kindness in your purpose. If it is a dark day. never mind; you will lighten it up If it is a bright day, you will add to the brightness. Give a word of cheer, a kindly greeting and a warm handshake to your friends. If you have enemies, look up. pass them by, forget and try to forgive. if all of us would only think how much of human happiness is made by ourselves, there would be less of human misery. If ail of us would bear in mind that happiness is from within and not from without, there would be a wellspring of Joy in every heart and the sun would shine forever. Try It!—Leslie’s Weekly. Really Baby's Fault. The young mother had left the six-months-old baby only a few minutes, but upou going back to it discovered quite a large lump over one eye. Discovering three-yearold Henry in the vicinity, she surmised the cause and questioned him. "Henry, did you hurt the baby * eye?” "No.” “Now, I know better than that. If you do not tell me how you hurt the baby's aye I shall spank you.” "Well,'’ said Henry. “I did throw a block at blm. but I told him to look the other way.” Hie Privilege It was during the rush hours and the car waa crowded to its full capacity and then some A rather gaudily dressed young man waa standing next to a German, each holding on to the overhanging strap The car gave a sudden lurch, which resulted In the young man's striping on the German's toes.
