Tom; the kind of hat a woman dreams of but sees only once In years. Of course, I knew that I could not hope to buy it, as It was far more expensive than we could afford. The price was—” “Perhaps we could manage It, dear, if you wish It so much,” Tom Interrupted fondly. “Business has been a little better the last month. I have two new contracts for large apartment houses. How much is the hat?” “That is dear of yon, Tom,” she responded with a grateful smile, though her eyes grew sad. “but it is too late. Our cook happened to pass the store. I saw her wearing it home.”

LAUGHS AT GREENLAND COLD

■ln Ais Primitive Abode, Eskimo Dwells in Comfort Through the Monot- - — onous Arctic Winter." The Eskimo of Greenland, no matter what his station in life may be, always has both a summer and winter home. The wlntef house is described by Roger Pocock in the Wide World Magazine as being a dugoift with an upper structure built of turf and beams of driftwood. It has but one window, as winter in Greenland occurs during the four-month-long arctic night. Entrance to the one large room of which the house consists is gained through a long tunnel about five feet in height, in which the dogs live. In the rear of the living room is a raised dais" on which the entire family sleep, and in the front part stands the stove. This stove consists of a hollow stone filled with seal oil In which burns a rag wick, whibh lights and heats the house and cooks the meals.

NOT TRUE ‘GENIUS'

"Wonder Children” Merely Intellectually Precocious. In Moat Cases They Are Possessors of an Abnormally Retentive Memory —Do Not Necessarily Die - - -Young. A few day* ago there appeared an account of the doings of Samuel Reschevski, a wonderful chess player, years old, who is confounding Berlin with his uncanny knowledge and skill. These “wonder children” always arouse especial interest, and. a* many explanations are put forward to account for their apparent genius, there are gloomy forebodings as to their meeting with an early death. There have been many “wonder children” In the past, and It Is strange, though true, that quite a large proportion have lived to the average'age. In recent years there have .been a number of child evangelists Who Wave startled the world by their eloquence and theology. In the United States a few years ago a boy nine years old attempted to convert the whole country, and when ten years old he was actually appointed minister of a church in North Carolina. In Great Britain there are records of a child twelve years old who preached In a Baptist church at Porthcawl, and a small boy who. at the tender age of' three, began preaching to crowded audiences and continued to do so until well after ten years old. In the case of such prodigies, their talents consist chiefly in an abnormal, retentive memory and, provided that their temperaments are not emotional, they stand the mental strata exceedingly well, though there la, of course, the danger attached to the excessive physical strain which they frequently undergo. To this type belong those children who learn rapidly by heart such things as the tunes, words and numbers of all hymns In the ancient and modern hymn-book. It is such children, with a high development of one faculty, who most often meet with early death, and maybe It was In such cases that old saying, “The wise die young” had it* origin.

But the child chess player in Berlin belongs rather to the type" of intellectual'precocities, such as the learned child of Lubeck of the early part of the eighteenth century. This child could recite the whole of the Old and New Testaments before he was two years old, and a little later he was an authority on religious history and dogma. He mastered also ancient and modern'geography and history and several languages before his death at the age of four years. A contemporary of this wonderful child was fluent in five languages before he was five, and translated the Hebrew Bible Into Latin and French at the age of eight. He survived until he was nineteen. Historical and clinical evidence are both definite in showing that “wonderchildren” are no more liable than other children to die young, nor is it found that children who assimilate knowledge readily and retain it show any undue signs of fatigue. The great point in the case of children marked by special brilliance is to avoid any attempt at making the brilliance apply to everything, for in so doing the existing brilliance in the one special direction may tend to disappear. In the same way those who are intellectually brilliant must not be forced to become industrious In a practical way, for such interference Invariably brings on over-strain arfd Breakdown.

How’s This, “Pedestrians?"

It was an inky black night and we were riding along a country road, when we saw a railroad crossing ahead. We stopped about a hundred feet from the tracks and peered through thw brush awl trees that lined the road. There up ihe track we saw a light moving toward us. The driver wished to move on, but I, being very nervous, objected loudly, so we waited at least five minutes. - The light kept drawing nearer, but the driver in disgust insisted upon crossing, saying it was .probably, a slow freight. But again .1 shrieked loudly, for I knew train lights were so deceiving at night and it must be nearly upon us by now. We continued waiting in the darkness for the (rain to pass, and as the light drey nearer we discovered our locomotive to be nothing more than a man coming down the track with a lantern.—Chicago Tribune.

The “Lion D’Arras."

A Paris dispatch announces the disappearance of one of the last of the war newspapers—the Lion d’Arras. These war area sheets, which did so much to cheer and encourage the inhabitants of the stricken towns and countrywide, will be looked upon in the future as one of the most interesting products of the war years. The Lion d’Arras appeared in the-city at a time when the enemy, was within a few hundred yards from the walls. The founder of the paper was- the Abbe Guerrin. who continued its editor during‘the 172 weeks of its existence. ■

The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get ?bre, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; tEike a tablespoonful in* a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the add of .grapes and lemon juice, used foj" generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to. neutralise acids in the, urine so tt no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. 1 _ Jad Salts is a life saver tot regular meat eaters.
