Venus never without veil

How Venus would appear without It'
Is hard to Ray, as we have uo knowl
edge whatever of the real composition
of her globe.
All that can be said with any cer
tainty Is that she would lose a laige
share of her radiant beauty If this
tight-reflecting shell (if clouds were #e
moved.
She might look like Mars or like
Mercury, and would certainly f ti 1 1 to
bewitch mankind as she does now.
The true secret of her i>eerleHH
beauty, therefore, is her veil of clouds.
SAVAGE CHILD IS TRAINED
Uaby Girls, From Their Earliest In
fancy, Are Taught Household
Duties by Their Mothers.
Most of those who know little of
sa\<?igc and seiul-savage peoples nat
urally suppose that the children are
allowed to "run wild" with no thought
given to their training. This Is far
from the truth, particularly among
some of the tribes of Togohtnd, on the
African west const.
As soon us a girl bahy Is able to
toddIe~>-and they are taught to walk
much earlier than our children ? the
training of the girl Is begun. She 1h
given a calabash, and taught to bal
ance it upon her head. Then the cal
abash is filled with water. Tims she
learns her first duty' In usefulness.
From this time forth the child be
comes a part of the tribal or village
organization. She goes with her tnotn
er to the river when the women go
there for water. She Is taught to
sweep out the hut with a broom. Out
in the forest she~goes with mother
and there learns what herbs and wild
vegetables are good fop food and
which " should be avoided. At home
she is taught how to prepare the food
the famUy ertfa. Tn a word, from her
very earliest days the child is taught
how to perform the domestic and oth
er duties the average native woman
must perforin. ? Temple Manning in

Hope for the Middle Aged.
"There is no need to grow old and
stifr."
This is Sir James Cant lie's message
to the iimn or woman whose muscles
appear to be lowing their earlier re
silience. ? It was delivered at a dem
onstration of Swedish gymnastics at
the Allnert hall in London. Sir James
presided and after watching the grace
ful movements of the athletic young
people of both sexes said he hoped
they would continue their exercises
even when' they were no longer young
In years. "Some of us," he added,
"who are watching should be in the
arena doing what these young ones
are doing. Their muscles are not
hard and inflexible. Ours probably
are." Sir James added that SO per
cent of the people of the world were
Imperfect. One leg was shorter than
the other by perhaps the eighth of
an Inch or a two hundredth part of an
inch. It was abnormal to be normal.
Quality Before Quantity.
Mere bigness, after all, is never a
sound criterion of value. Art con
noisseurs know this. They will pay
more, for a tiny {tainting by Yibert
than for huge canvases by painters
inferior to Vibert in id#as ? and In
vision.
To think qualitatively is, and always
has been, a fundamental human need.
It will always be. Not how much we
possess, how much we produce, how
much we export or import, but the
qualify of all our doing and feeling
and believing? that is the thing.
The wealthiest of nations can at the
same time be the most discontented,
restless and unhappy. . "More, more,
more," is never the slogan of true
success. Think quality, not quantity,
Is the dictate of truth to all of us.? II.

Tired of Household Devotions.
K. F. Henson, *?n of the late arch
bishop of Canterbury, in a reminis
cent record of his family life, tells that
the Herison children grew rather weary
of the rigors of devotion established
in the household of the archbishop
and, when the latter was absent, of
Mrs. llenson, mother of the brood, say
ing: "\Fe won't have prayers tonight
for a treat !"

Here's why CAMELS are
the quality cigarette
BECAUSE we put the utmost quality Into this
one brand. Camels are as good as it's pos
sible for skill, money and lifelong knowledge of
fine tobaccos to make a cigarette.
Nothing is too good for Camels. And bear this
in mind! Everything is done to make Camels the
best cigarette it's possible to buy. Nothing is done
simply for show.
Take the Camel package for instance. It's the
most perfect packing science can devise to pro
tect cigarettes and keep them fresh. Heavy paper
? secure foil wrapping ? revenue stamp to seal
the fold and make the package air-tight. But
there's nothing flashy about it. You'll find no
extra wrappers. No frills or furbelows.
Such things do not improve the smoke any more
than premiums or coupons. And remember ? you
must pay their extra cost or get lowered quality.
If you want the smoothest, mellowest, mildest
cigarette you can imagine ? and one entirely free
from cigaretty aftertaste,
It's Camels for you.
