The clock h It the top of the fence, split open, and it dworks, like shrap nel, flow In all directions. - The next morning Tungsten found 13 corpses of 13 cats on his grass-plot, sold them to a manufacturgr of imported furs, and bought a regular alarm clock.

For some reasons it is fortunate that we do not, as a rule, appreciate how much ability is wasted in this world, remarks the Boston News and Courier. If we did out opinion of man's intelligence would not be very flattering, to say the least. On the other hand, however, it Is quite prob able that if we did realize something of the vast amount of ability that goes to waste we would do all we could personally to cheek this loss. A large part of this wastage is accouni ed for by the fact that there are a great many persons who unconscious ly and yet most earnestly develop their weakest instead of their strong est faculties-unconsciously because they are entirely ignorant of their real possibilities, earnestly because they are trying to do their best with the limited means at their command. Of course, many of these persons, wlll ing workers though they may be, are not able to tell in what direction their talents lie because they enter into the serious business of making a liv ing with untrained minds and try to dig success out of whatever comes to hand first. ''hey do not take the time to decide in what direction their natural bent lies, either through lack of opportunity or failure to nppre elate the necessity for doIng so; con seqiently, they are all at sea for a percentage of eflicieney, if indeed, with any worthwhile resuits at all. Flowers. Food and ralment are for the body, but flowers, flowers are for both body ar-h soul. ' When my lips are palsied by great emotions-love, gladnaess, sorro'w, death -and the words I would write come not, then I send souh-messengers flowers. When I look upon a rose, all night mares of atheism vanish ; when I in hale the rare perfume of violets, I bolv to thme Master Chemist ; when my peneil tries to trace the graceful flunt ings of the morning-glory, or my brush match the exquisite color blendings of the humble pansy, I reverently ac kcnowledlge the high hand of art. Some (lay, when I am in perfect at tune with the Creator-God, I know I hear melodies, strangely sweet, amongst my flowers, and songs-songs like the morning stars must have sunig together at the birth of him-the Rose of Sharon. Without flowers my body could live, but I know my soul would starve. Will P. Snyder in Book News Monthly. Modern Aladdin's Lamp. Aladdin's lamp wasn't a public utili ty. 'Electricity, jhe servant of every one who pushes the button, ecli pses Aladdin's lamp as the sun eclipses a match, says the Louisville Courier Journal. Electricity is a Jinn, as pow erful as that which awaited the call of Aladdin. It serves individuals, science, industries, cities, countries. The all powerful Jinn of the twentieth cen tury is at call upon the plunging steamer in the midst of the blackest storm upon the bosom of the heaving ocean, beyond the equator or at the Arctic circle. Electglelty propels the submarine. It is the life spark of the airplane. It draws the cofil and 1rda from the mountain's heart and per. forms innumerable magical feats of st'rength and intelligence undreamed of by Aladdin. -.I.-- a e Silent SagacIty. "It's kind o' funny," remarked the man who was holding a job that sub-' jected him to some criticism. "What's funny?"
