They knew very well that no one would .actually feel like joining in when the time came, so they got all to agree that every one should pay a three-cent fine for every song not participated in. . To enforce the rule, Inspectors were appointed who, them- selves singing heartily all the time, watched for people not joining in. It was necessary to choose exactly the right people for this. At first many people moved their lips and merely pretended to sing, but that led them on to singing heartily. 1 The enthusiasm with which the younger people sang on their way to and from the meetings finally sug- gested an idea. Of course, they had always had some singing at the “lit- erary,” but it wa-sn’t of the jovial, spontaneous kind that was needed. At the next meeting they succeeded in getting the idea accepted that they shorid get hold of the new popular songs and also work up some of the old favorites, and that there should be a song after each number on the program, but the big point of it was that every one must join in, singers and non-singers. Why take nasty cathartics, sicken- ing salts. or stomach-turning oils to drive these rascals out? Let gentle, harmless Cascarets remove the liver and bowel poison which is keeping your head dizzy, your tongue coated, younskin sallow, your breath offen- sive, and your stomach sour. Get a box of Cascarets at the drug store and rid your liver, stomach, and bowels of the excess bile, poisons and waste vvhic‘n are keeping you miserable. 'Ias- carets never gripe, never sicken, never inconvenience. They cost so little and work while you sleep. The people in our community had met regularly in the schoolhouse every Friday night for “Literary” dur- lng several years, but they seemed to be getting into a rut. The younger folks especially were not very excited about the meetings. They had now dropped the “fines” rystem, and use another method. Some Hieâ€"generally the schoolâ€"teacher of [he minister, but sometimes a real ringing teacherâ€"sits on the platform luring all the singing, and after each )ong marks up on the blackboard a Itroke for whichevemside of the room ping the best. The rivalry runs very high each week and each month for the highest score, and the room .is al- ways divided sharply into the two )ections. Moreover, the rivalry is of I particularly merry and good-natur- Ed sort. A singing “literary” after this fashion is a sure-fire success.â€" E’. W. W. Feed fowls regularly.

Attempts at brightening up the program helped some, and occasional parties of the usual “‘bid-for-a-supper- basket" kind had a good effect, but not for long. By the fourth week of! the new Iter the thing was an undoubted suc- :ess. The spirit of the place was :ntirely changed. The old awkward- ness that every one had shared before gave way to a sort of thrill of interest :1 everything. Perhaps the people were all wondering what the next long would be. Whatever the reason, [hey took a keen interest in every- thing.

Or a mere slipping of strata in the $ea-floor may cause earth- quakes. If, incidentally to the volcan- ic or seismic disturbance, one part of the sea-floor sinks or another part rises, there must be a consequent rush of water, which may assume the pro- ;Sortions of what is called a tidal wave. Twenty-five years ago Japan was visited by a series of terrific tidal waves, which ran fifteen or twenty miles inland. They accompanied great earthquake shocks. The great earthquake that destroyed Libson in 1755 was supplemented by a tidal wave which rolled up the valley of the Tagus from the ocean, sub- merging all the lower portions of the city and destroying thousands of lives. The tidal wave above mentioned, at Santa Cruz, also struck St. Thomas, where a wall of water that looked fifty feet high ran up over the land. There were severe earthquakes all night, and the people, believing that the island was going to sink, besought the com- mander of an American warship (which had survived the wave by a miracle) to take them off. He did carry 2,000 of them to Santa Cruz. Such waves may be due to various causes. They may represent a heap- ing up of masses of water by a hurri- cane of wind, as at Corpus Christi. Or an earthquake under the sea may be the cause. To remove paint from clothes, sat- urate the spot two or three times with equal parts of ammonia and turpen- tine, and then wash out in soapsuds.

Much of the storm's terrific damage at Corpus Christi is said to have been caused by a “tidal wave” of great height, which swept away entire blocks of houses. But what is a tidal wave? It has nothing whatever to do with the tides. Any great onrush of the sea that overwhelms the land is called a tidal wave. In 1867 such a wave threw the United States cruiser Mo- nongahela clear out of the harbor and into the town of Friedrichstadt, on the island of Santa Cruz. N '1 ()1 M No. 9116â€"Boy’s Norfolk Suit.

Styles for Children The overwhelming prominence of wood in the construction of dwellings in New Zealand is shown by the fact that 219,000 were constructed of wood, 7,000 of brick, 1,280 of stone and 1,680 of concrete. In many counties there was not a single dwelling built of brick or stone, but these districts were in the back-blocks of New Zealand, where there are but few houses. Hanna’s Liniment Cures Gal-get in Cows. Gentlemen,â€"In July, 1915, I was thrown from a road machine, injuring my hip and back badly and was ob- liged to use a crutch for 14 months.

Had a Better One. .A college professor‘wh/o was always ready for a joke was asked by a stuâ€" dent if he would like a good recipe for catching rabbits. “Why, yes,” replied the professor, “What is it?" “That may be,” said the professor, with a twinkle in his eye, “but a bet- ter way than that would be for you to go and sit quietly in a bed of cab- bage heads and look natural.” 0f the total dwellings and tene- ments 109,000 are being rented, 12,000 bought on time payment, 55,000 bought on mortgage and 56,860 the unencumâ€" bered property of the occupants. In the Tuckland metropolitan area 15,000 homes are rented, 16,300 held under mortgage and 5,000 are unencumber- ed. “\Vell,” said , the §tudent, “you cr‘ouch down behind a thick stone wall and make a. noise like a turnip." New Zealand Census. The New Zealand Government sta- tistics relating to the census of 1916 have just been made public. In classi- fying dwellings by the number of rooms the figures show that out .of 229,423 private dwellings in New Zea- land 9,000 had one room, 8,380 two rooms, 10,500 three rooms, 49,000 four rooms, 58,000 five rooms, 50,000 six rooms, 22,000 seven rooms and 10,800 eight rooms. Country districts ac- count for most of the small houses. It is assumed that 50 per cent. of the fires with “Cause unknown” in barns can be charged to the foolishness of sméking in them. \ A school trustee visited one of the schools over which he bears rule, and made something of a speech to the assembled children. “Now,” said the great man, “the thing that you want to keep in mind is that you should always seek to do some one thing better than anyone else can do it. You can begin to do that right now. Tell meâ€"is there any- one among you who can do that one thing better than anyone else?" A youngster held up his hand. “And what is it?” “I can read my own writing better than anyone else can,” said the boy.
