A certain business man is of opinion that he has an exceedingly bright office boy, and nothing pleases him better than to tell how he acquired the youngster’e ser- vices. A notice had been posted in the man's shop window. which read as follows :--"Boy wanted, about fourteen years." A lad of that age, with little that was preposser' sing in his appearance, came into the office, and stated that he had read the notice. “So you think you would like to have the position ‘1” asked the merchant. "Yet, sir," was the reply; "I want the jdb, but I don't know that I can promise to keep it tor the full fourteen years." Real Business.

Why Explosives Draw 0ut Distant l Windows. Wile-n there is a violent explosion the surrounding air is thrown back with sudden force in air waves that are powerful in proportion in which the explosion is violent and powerful. The explosion acts in all directions at once with equal force, and the air on all sides is forced out, and surrounding air rushes in to fill the threatened va- cuum. Whenever the air waves start up suddenly there will be de- molition if there is not sufficient power of resistancex - A curious thing about the effect of these waves at a. distance is the restricted limit of their force. Sometimes, as a result of a big ex- plosion, the front windows of a building several miles away will be drawn out and no other building on the block damaged. In such cases the air suction is apt to " fect buildings at different points algng the same_ street. The destructive power of ex- plosions is reckoned with as amoat important factor in modern war- fare. This, is shown through the medium of sunken mines, wrpedoes and bombs. The projectiles thrown from big guns do more damage by their ex- plosion than by their striking force. It, is the explosion after they reach their destination that is expected to do most of the destruction. Well protected forts are not taken mere- ly by battering their exterior, but by dropping into them projectiles that cause explosive havoc.

"I sometimes get so blue and discouraged that I an almost ready to believe the human race is a, fail- ure; then something happens to make me glad I am living in this pleasant, sunshiny world." So saying, Jim Dignan folded up a let.. ter he had been reading. His eyes were smiling, although a tear or two shone in them. “This letter," he continued, “is what scattered the clouds to-day. "You can’t understand unless I begin when I was a, boy in a small town. The third floor of our house was always given over to viritors., We had no servants; my mother did the work of the house with the help of the children who were old enough. There were four girls and three boys. I was the young- est. “In some way we youngsters were made to realize that our vie itors were not to be discussed, and that we must not ask questions. but that when we were old enough to, understand we Amuld know all about them. In due time I learn- ed that whenever a woman prisoner was released from the jail, which was a. block from our home, my mother was at the prison gate to meet her. She would bring the woman to our third floor, which was her ‘home until she found em. ployment, or went to her friends or relatives. "I wish you could know the in- fiutsnce my mother had on those women. There was ‘Old Lizzie,' in ptsrticular. She was a frequent offender, and her slips were " ways owing to drink. Her remorse after each lapse was sincere, but her appetite was too strong for her. Sometimes Old Lizzie would disappear, and mother would hunt the town over for her. If the search was unsuccessful our doors would be left unlocked, so that whenever Lizzie came baek, day or night, she could enter. “Everyone else gave Old Lizzie up as a bad job, but mother never doubted that eventually her good resolutions would hold, and the battle be won. It WM my mother's death that brought it about. "Mother fell ill with pneumonia, and died within a. few days. Then in sorrow and remorse. Old Liz- zie made her big fight, and com quered; and until she too died, her great hope was that mother knew that her work had not been in min. "After my mother's death, my oldest sister, Mary, took up the work. She took care of the family. and met the women at the jail. just as mother had done. I can’t feel much enthusiasm for storybook he- was, or newspaper heroes that get I medal for some one act of braw ery, when I remember the daily drudgery that Mary took upon her- self for many weary you". How with our qneMre means he kept us all tlgtitlt and mentally clean, clot and fed and happy, I do not know. But she did it. At least three good men aghed her to marry Mary's Recompcnsc -eqqqqq-qqqt gm them. I know that she loved one of them. But she couldn’t, marry and take cure of six brothers and than, and so she simply put may theidea of marrying. _ . "Her trenrumG,%stienee, and sympathy made her the pqmloftgr to whom everyone turned for help and inspiration, and 1 an sun- that Wu all she eter desired for - wad. "But that wasn't all we brothers and sisters planned for her. When we grew up and made our for- tunes, Mary was to hue a tiae home, and beautiful clothes, and some one to do all the work of tho house. Of course it didn't turn out that way. One by one we ment, out into the world, married and made homer for ourselves, “e have prospered moderately.
