CULTIVATE GOOD MANNERS.
A lawyer wini was harresscd
with anxious pioblems made a
rule in his family that each one
should conic to the. table with a
pleasant greeting and contribute
his share of cheerful talk. For
his own part he made the hours
at meals delightful by his con
versation and powers of charm.
Children realized that grievan
ces, ill-temper, rudeness, dis
courtesy or contradictions were
offences to be punished gently,
but firmly, for the simple reason
that the feelings and rights of
others must lie respected and the
great law of unsellishnes', and
making others happy must lie un
derstood. Self-control was thus
taught by the examples of tin*
parents, who tried to preserve pa
tience and calmness and not to
reprove irritably.
Home is I lie great moral .•clmol
where real character is mostly
formed. All the minor moralities
of life may he made easy to a
child. Hahils of being courteous,
prompt, considerate, neat, should
be taught early in childhood.
<5omi habits may lie incorporat
ed with the character and will he
sponlanetous and proceed from
almost unconscious sources. It
must be remembered, however,
that ‘'bundles of hahils" are not
in themselves character. The
small acts of courtesy practiced
at home will become, in a meas
ure. automatic, tint there must be
in a character the cultivation of
true kindness, which prompts one
to do the pleasant or the unsel
fish thing naturally and simply,
because it would lie an unhappi
ness to do a disagreeable thing.
The relationship of the family
must exist in all worthiness lie
fore’ the eyes of children, if there
is to lie high development of
character, because children judge
only by what they observe: what
they see is the pattern for their
imitation. So much may be done
by parents in the persistent, pa
tient example of sweet ness of
(elmper. cheerfulness and cour
tesy. The father in a household
may show chivalric treatment of
(he mother in so beautiful a way
that tin- children will nalurally
imitate his unfailing considera
tion and tenderness toward her.
Those who are scrupulously at
tentive to every conventional rule
among strangers and who are
thouhlful of the comfort and
convenience of the households
where they may be visiting some
times ignore courtesy when at
home. They have the privilege
to he tale at meals. They never
apologize for tardiness; they do
not hesitate to lind fault with the
food. In fact, some persons as
sume hat they have a -certain
right not to consult the comfort
of others at home.
It is well lo make a rule to
breakfast with a cheerful greet
nng. An amiable “(lood morn
ing” is a hopeful beginning for
the day. It is worth while never
to talk about food at all unless
to «ay something pleasant about
it.—Ex.
IMPROVE RURAL SCHOO’ S.
Some weeks ago Secretary
Houston, of (tie department of
agriculture, pointed out the un
satisfactory conditions of rural
schools in most parts of the
country. Since that time officials
of the United States Bureau of
Kducation have received a num
ber of letters pointing out the
need of better organized and bet
ter equipped schools for the
teaching of children in rural
communities, and giving de
scriptions of the sehoolhouses in
some communities which were
unsuited for educational purpos
es, but which were the best that
the people could provide. Some
of these descriptions are most
regretable and it is high time
that something definite was done
to belter organize the country
school. The best in citizenship
often conies from the country and
everything possible should be
done to develop the raw material
and make the most out of it --Ex.
VOLCANOES AFFECTING OL.I
! MATE.
Aii interesting Held ol' specula
tion has been opened up by the
Geographic Magazine, which
lakes up the question of volcan
ic disturbances to world-climate
in general.
Old sailors on the Atlantic say
the! weather has been “different”
ever since the Mount l’elee dis
aster, and now conies much
scientific testimony to show that
the remarkable storms of the last
few months, culminatin in the
rains which have inundated the
Ohio valley and which threaten
ed the entire Mississippi water
way,‘from Cairo to the gulf, are
tin* results of the eruption of
Katmai volcano in Alaska June
<), 191“.
The Katmai eruption was one
of (he most violent ever record
ed. Owing to the remoteness of
tlie volcano from civilization no
lives were lost but the territory
in the vicinity of the volcano was
covered deep with ashes while (he
atmosphere disturbance was not
ed thousand's of miles away.
Thick haze was noted in various
parts of the world, following the
qruption of the volcano. Heavy
rains fell and continued to fall
during the summer. Professor
C. (I .Ahbolt, of I he Smithsonian
Institution, who was in Algiers,
making measurements of the
amount of heal coming to the
earth from the sun, lirst noticed
the spreading of this haze on
Junel 19, ,jusl thirteen days af
le rllie eruption in Alaska. Itains
followed, and, to I be surprise of
the scientists, file hazy weather,
with succeeding torrential down
pours, eoulinued until Septem
ber. and forced an abandonment
j of the work. Prof. Abbott found
Ilia! the conditions bad been the
same at. Mount Wilson, and pre
sumably were world-wide. II is
shown by Ibis seienlisl that the
haze precipitated from Katmai
was distributed over the higher
aUnospherc remaining three
months in suspension. The di
ree| idled of this would be a
loss of beat owing to the rellee
! lion and loss of Hie sun’s rays in
jibe Katmai "dust belt.” Fortun
jnloly Professor Ahbollt was
'equipped with the sort of appar
atus necessary for measurements
itnil one instrument was capable
of measuring a millionth part of
a degree of beat, lie made ex-j
hauslive observations and gives
as bis opinion Hint the volcanic
haze very appreciably iultucnccd
! the man'll of lemperal lire in Ihc
jliniled Stales, lie believes that il
will be found eventually that
temporal liras are mlluenreil sev
I oral degrees liv great periods of
haziness, such as those produced
j by the volcanic eruptions of IdH.'i.
I I NS.X and till-, md to speak of
! the erupt ion of .Mount I’elee in
I liltf.’, whose distribution of haze
| he regards as rat her local.
A further ipieslion for science
lo determine is the length of
time this haze remains suspended
in the upper atmosphere, work
ing sm*li climatic changes. The
whole subject is one of vital in
terest. and it seems remarkable
that more general attention has
* been devoted to it heretofore.

LAND SPECULATION WANING.
Tin* days of wild speculation
in irrigated lands is rapidly pass
ing. according to experts of the
Iniled Slates reclamation ser
vice. Much ot the irrigated
lands of the West have been sold
al fabulous prices because of the
sensational returns some have
made on irrigated lands. By
showing the maximum yield of
fruit at maximum prices, land
dealers were aide lo get figures
for land heretofore had never
been heard of. This led to I he
disappointment, of lots of peo
ple and today prices are not what
they were, but are on a more
equitable basis. The great show

Small Stores Made Profitable
The amount of business clone does not always depend on the
size of the store. Many small stores properly conducted
are doing more business than some of their larger neighbors
handling the same line of goods.
The amount of business clone by a store of a given
.size depends directly upon the effectiveness of the methods
employed to draw trade.
One of the most effective methods is the use of good
light—plenty of light—electric light.
Light up your store with Edison Mazda Lamps and
watch your business grow.
Our Lamp Alan will advise you how to use them
as profitably as thousands el. others are using them
throughout the country.
