Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A.NYE.

THE CHILDREN'S SECRET. "Let's play like keeping house." There are four tots together in the back yard. The "house" they have built Is fearfully and wonderfully made of an old carpet, a quilt and papers, the clothesline and a branch of a tree forming the framework. These precious kids drape their mother's aprons about their little waists and play like they are evening gowns with long trails. Hats are fashioned of big rhubarb leaves and rooster feathers. An old rag doll In a paper box makes up the nursery. A few crackers and some water suffice for the banquet table in the dining room. The parlor is partly In the shade and partly in the sun. And they "play like." Such formal calls and cordial invitations to come again! Such conversations about the baby's teeth! Such gossip of the neighbors! They are happy! And I wonder if we may not learn from them! During the long afternoon their joy is unalloyed with any touch of envy or regret They know that in the yard of yon big mansion is a "real for sure" playhouse and dolls that cry when you squeeze them and dainty tea sets. But they are too busy in their enjoyment to envy the girl who has them. Play like! I wonder if we cannot find the same

pleasures of imagination? I wonder if we cannot make the most of what we have and play like we have the best? We should be optimists. Optimism sees the best in everything. Its philosophy is the philosophy of contentment. But We go about the problem more clumsily than the children. We try to rake together material things of supposed great value fine houses and fittings which leaves nothing to the fancy. There is no "play like." We grow sated and unhappy. The children's secret? Envy not those who live in big houses or have much money. Enjoy what you have. Hold on to your precious powers of imagery. Keep your ideals and Play like!

In thousands of homes in this city preparations for the Christmas season are engrossing the attention of happy members. In many other homes careworn fathers and worrying mothers are wondering how they will pay the rent, buy food for their dependents, clothe them against the chilly blasts of December storms. Christmas is a season of gladsome hours for some, for many It is a season in which the sardonic contrasts of wealth and poverty stand out in all their naked reality. One revels In the possession of many gifts and tokens, the other worries for bread to still the pangs of hunger. Thousands of children will enjoy the remembrances of kind friends on that day. Many hundred less fortunate ones must console their childish hearts with the unsatisfying truth that father and mother were unable to buy the

doll, wagon, candy and nuts that parental love wanted for its offspring. You need not go to the tenements of Chicago or New York's east side to find pitiable cases of poverty and suffering. The grey wolf of poverty does not confine his grim stalkings to the large cities solely. Lean and hungry, he is standing today, the terror of scores of families, before their doors, and parents and children in this city are shuddering in suspense. In a city blessed with factories that are running steadily, where business conditions are stable and 6ound, abject poverty with gnawing tooth is sapping the strength of many wage earners, undermining the health of mothers," leaving hundreds of children, the citizens cf tomorrow, underfed and half-clothed, the prey of the next disease. A Grim Reality. This is not a figment of the fancy nor the fiction of a writer. The Palladium has secured a long list of poor persons who are worthy of aid. These families did not bring suffering down upon them through their own extravagance, through intemperance, or shiftlessness. They belong to the class of the "deserving poor." If there are Good Fellows in Richmond and there have been many in other Christmas seasons here is a chance to give the helping hand, to do the act that proves the word. If you want to help, the Palladium will give you the names and addresses of families where sickness and misfortune have turned laughter into sighs, and filled the heart with forebodings of a coming Christmas pathos. Here are some of the cases in the long list which the Palladium has in its possession. Mother sick In bed, four little boys, need clothing and fuel. Family of seven, two girls and three boys, sickness and father has small income. Family with six children baby of eighteen months, small income. Ten in family, utterly destitute. Widow trying to support two boys, aged 15 and 12, and two girls, aged 13 and 9. Father in poor health, seven in family. Family of nine, need assistance. Father a cripple, five children, aid is imperative.

SAVED THE SCENE.

Fechter's Presence of Mind When the Stags Ocean Broke Loose. "Fechter once staged a melodrama." said a theatrical man, "in which the grand feature was a ship in a storm at sea. The sea was a vast expanse of green baize with a runway in the midst, invisible to the audience, through which the gallant vessel was to careen. The storm was produced by a lot of boys under the baize, who agitated it by flopping their arms and bodies vigorously. In the midst of this furious upheaving while the dust arose from 'the briny de'ep and the crackling thunders reverberated from great sheets of tin, rattled with equal fury back. of the scenes, the ship came on, bobbing and rolling, with Fechter as captain standing in the bow issuing stentorian orders to his men through a speaking trumpet. "On the crucial first night, when the turning of a hair might damn or save the piece. Just as the vessel reached the center of the stage, one of the stormmakers split the baize over him and suddenly a perspiring, bewildered boy stood up in the midst of the greeu sea waves. Of course all the chances were for the everlasting ruination of the play, but before the audience appreci ated the situation Fechter took It in

hand. "'Man overboard!' he bellowed, and, ' swooping down, he grabbed the na- ;

Who? Who taught the raven in a drought to throw pebbles into a hollow tree where she espied water that the water might rise so as she might come to It? Who taught the bee to sail through such a vast sea of air and to find the way from a flower in a field to her hive? Who taught the ant to bite every grain of corn she buried in her hill lest It should take root and grow? Bacon.

What Did He Mean? The new cook came out and did very well her first afternoon at Lonelyville. After dinner she approached the head of the house. "How early shall I get up In the morning?" she inquired. "Well," said Mr. Subbubs. "the first train for the city leaves here at 6:35. You'll have to get up about 6 if you want to make that-" Washington Herald. Saving Time. Are you one of the people who hop up nervously when the train is nearing the station aud stand until it stops?

Refused the King. Henry VIII. had six wives. The most extraordinary ambition was displayed by the fair sex in general to obtain the dangerous distinction of being his queen. One instance alone is quoted of his meeting with a refusal, aud that was on the part of a witty Duchess of Milan, who replied to his offer that she unfortunately had out one head aud could not afford to lose it.

THE MAELSTROM.

Tides and Winds Cause the Whirl and the Hole In the Sea. "What of the maelstrom that is be-, tween two of the Loffoden islands, off the coast of Norway? Where the water sinks there must be a subterranean passage or an outlet farther north," writes a correspondent. In answer we reply that there is no opening in the ocean's floor. The whirling motion is caused by tides and winds. The water rushes in channels between the islands, whose configuration aids in twisting. The current runs during six hours from north to south and then six hours from south to north. This reversal and friction against rocks set up the whirling motion. "Suction through a" hole in the bottom of the sea" does not exist. Winds in from the ocean when in the right direction increase the rotation of the water which, in the center of the whirl, is about twenty fathoms in depth, but just west of the straits the soundings show depths of from 100 to 200 fathoms. Many modern ships, in the absence of winds. hav traversed the troubled wastes, but they keep away when the wind is blowing against the changeable currents, esiccially at high tide, when the danger is very great. Many fables regarding the maelstrom have been handed down from ancient times. frtJin medieval :::. and moderns stiU invent them. Of i-nirso shijt h:tve lneii wrecked there as well us elsewhere.

Hard Metals. In one respect the diamond has al

ways stood pre-eminent In the mineral world that of hardness. Other sub-; stances have rivaled it in beauly, and at least one. the ruby, outranks It in . cost, but none in the whole list equals , it in hardness. Since the invention of the electric furnace, however, which is j capable of producing a heat equal to j

7.000 degrees F., at least two products have been prepared which "have supplanted the diamond even In hardness. Experimenters have succeeded in producing titanium in the electric furrace. In its pure form it is much harder than steel or quartz, and when combined with silicon, to form a silicide of titanium, or without boron, to form a boride of titanium, it surpasses the diamond Itself in this quality. Harper's.

Explaining the Matter. "I wont some hose for my husband." "What kind, madam?" "Garden hose " "I beg pardon. Did I understand you to say that you wanted garden hose for your husband?" "Yes. young man. That's what I said. I want some cheap, thick socks, size 11. My husband has already spoi'od several pairs of his best silk hose while working on his onion bed." Birmingham Age-Herald-

The Subtle Porcupine. "The porcupine has his good points." admitted the possum, "but he is an awful flatterer, you know." "Flatterer?" echoed the coon blankly. "Yes. He is apt to send one away feeling awfully stuck up."

Terrible Suffering Eczema All Over Baby's Body. "When my baby was four months old his face broke out with eczema, and at sixteen months of age, his face, hands and arms were in a dreadful state. The eczema spread all over his body. We had to put a mask or cloth over his face and tie up his hands. Finally we gave him Hood's Sarsaparilla and in a few months he was entirely cured. Today he is a healthv boy." Mrs. Inez Lewis. Barirsr. Main. Hood's Rarsaparilla cures blood diseases and builds up the system.
