When wo let the electric light burn
all night in the basement it is an
error, an unnecessary expense and
comes under postgraduate tuitions.
After we had done so several times
1 began studying for preventive meas-
ures and found that if I turned the
button before coming through the
basement doorway I would not leave
the light on. The wall button for the
basement light is in the kitchen by

Why and When.
A request comes for information on
halloween. No doubt but many won-
der what and why and when started
about this event the next day after it
occurs. In the cyclopedia we read
that it is a name popularly given to
the eve or ’ vigil of All Hallows, or
festival of All Saints. It started cen-
turies ago as a pleasant and harmless
evening of recreation, but to-day it
has been perverted so that property is
destroyed and people injured in the
name of fun and it now needs reform
ing.
educated her that way. To her noth-
ing else seems so important for the
price as a bottle of milk. I reasoned
this out and then told her that when
she forgot the basement light for a
night it meant a bottle of milk. This
made her stop and think and remem-
ber. With an occasional error we are
having success in keeping the base-
ment dark when not in use.
The sacrml day wax ending In a village
by the w»;
The uttered benediction touched the peo-
ple tenderly;
And they roae to face the itunaei in the
golden glowing went.
And then hastened to their dwellings for
God's blessed W»on of rest.
But they looked across the waters, and a
storm was raging there:
A fierce spirit moved above them—the
wild spirit of the air;
And It lashed and shook and tore them
till they thundered, groaned and
boomed;
And, alas! for any vessel In their ydwn-
ing^gulfu entombed!
Sad and anxious were the people on that
rocky coast of Wales.
Lest the dawns of coming morrows
should be telling fearful tales.
When the sea had spent its passions,
and should cast upon the shore
Tangled wreck and swollen victims, us
it had done heretofore.
With the rough winds blowing round her,
a brave woman strained her eyes.
And she saw along the billows a large
vessel fall and rise.
O, it did not need a prophet to tell what
the end must be.
For no ship could ride in safety near that
shore on such a sea.
Than the pitying people hurried from
their homes and thronged the beach.
Oh, for power to cross the waters and
the perishing wreck to reach!
Helpless hands were wrung for sorrow,
tender hearts grew cold with dread.
And the ship, urged by the tempest, to
the fatal rock-shore sped.
"She has parted In the middle! Oh, th*
half of her goes down!
God have mercy! la his Heaven fur to
seek for those who drown?”
i.o! when next the white, shocked faces
looked with terror on that sea.
Only one Inst clinging figure un a spar
was seen to be.
Nearer the trembling watchers came lha
ing
tne
wreck across the wave.
And the man still clung and floated,
though no power on earth could
save.
"Could we send him a short message?
Here's a trumpet: shout away.”
'Twas the preacher s hand that took It,
and be wondered what to say.
Any memory of his sermon? Firstly, sec-
ondly? Ah. no!
There was but one thing to utter in that
awful hour of woe.
So he shouted through the trumpet,
"Look to Jeuus! Can you hear?"
And “Ay, ay, sir!” rang the answer o’er
the waters loud and clear.
Then they listened: “He Is singing ‘Jesus,
lover of my soul.’ ”
And the winds brought bark the echo,
“While the nearer waters roll.”
Strange, indeed, it was to hear him,
"Till the storm of life Is past,"
Singing bravely from the waters, “O, re-
ceive my soul at last!”
lie could have no other refuge, "Hangs
my helpless soul on Thee:
Leave, ah leave me not”—the singer
dropped at last into the sea;
And the watchers, looking homeward
through their eyes by tears mads
dim.
Said, “He passed to be with Jesus in
the singing of that hymn.”
Continuing Another's Work.
Some are born to start a work, oth-
ers to continue, a few to start and
continue and end a special work.
Those who continue the work of a
prominent success and do it well de-
serve more respect, than they get be-
cause they get so little while living
in the shade of the predecessor.
Easy Give It Ups.
They are quick to start and quick
to stop, though some who are slow
to start aro quick to stop. It may be
due to too many feathers in the blood
or too much lead there. The people
who have done something in the way
of hard work have a stability that
Is noticeable and desirable.
Continuing Another’s Work.
Some are horn to start a work, oth-
ers to continue, a few to start and
continue and end a special work.
Those who continue the work of a
prominent success and do it well de-
serve more respect than they get be-
cause they get so little while living
in the shade of the predecessor.
Self-Consciousness.
A salesman on the road claims that
he has been injured by acquiring self-
consciousness. He acquired it by
study and now he must cure It or get
above it by more study—a study and
practice of intense earnestness. Never
stop nt a half-way house to skill.
Systematic Resourcefulness.
Time was when berries grew wild,
but time came when berries were
grown to order. Natural resourceful-
ness could be found in abundance un-
til the demand exceeded the supply.
Now there is such a market lor it
that a systematic resourcefulness is
produced by the originality of re-
search and the forethought of investi-
gation. *
For Her Hat.
In one store a customer was told
that the old feathers were not worth
cleaning and curling, but in mnother
place they made them into a ten-dollar
bunch for one dollar. The first store
people may have lacked technical
knowledge, but more likely they were
poor In commercial sense.
If the Editor Would Permit.
Every other paragraph would be de-
voted to encouraging systematic self-
effort for a minute a day if I followed
my feelings. Spend a minute a day
to get better acquainted with your
self, then spend another minute admir-
ing something above yourself.

Beating the Machine.
As machines do everything but
think, we should learn how to think,
hut as that is about the hardest thing
in the world to learn how to do, we
should take advantage of every oppor-
tunity to know what others are doing
to learn how to think.
We Think Differently.
If a person tells you to call early thD
next day It is well for you to Had put
that person’s definition of early.
