Without a proper appreciation of this great fundamental truth no nation can rise to greatness. As an article of food, soda crackers arc being used more and more every day, as is attested by the sale of nearly 400,000,000 packages of Uneeda Biscuit, which have come to be recog nized as the most perfect soda cracker the world has ever known. And so Uneeda Biscuit will soon be on every table at every meal, giving life, health and strength to the American people, thus in very truth becoming the backbone of the nation.

Hon Arnold mid 1 wore chums, nnd Dorotliy Dmmmond was a witch. Given a pair of chums and a witch, find what Is the Invariable result? A quarrel between the chums. If this Invariable result had happened In our case there would be nothing worth the telliiif;. So many such affairs have taken place that they have ceased to lie at least novel. Dorothy said she would have neither of us, declaring at. the same time that we were more in loe with each other than with any one else. I will admit that this helped W and me t keep from quarreling, thu uli neither of us believed her. Invented te-.ts to force iroiliy to hIkav her hand. Whether she w.is too onart for us or whether she had not i lug but friendship for either of us we could not tell. At any rate not one Df our tests gave us any iuDrumtlou. V e conspired to send her Invitations for a drive to take place at the same liour of the same day, hoping she would show her preference by accept ing om and declining the other. The litl!'- luhix accepted both, asking us to call with an equipage capable of seat-In--: four porons, as she wished to t.i!..- her grandmother. "Wo were both fu. jus, but dared not disobey.

When we handed the two women out, Dorothy was profuse in her thanks for uu in- v vitatlon which had not been given. One Uny I 'told Hon that there was but one way to force a decision be tween us. That was to tell Dorothy If she would have neither of us she must lose both of us. Wo would both "go west." lien consented to this at once. Ho believed the girl loved him and when It came to the point of los ing him would show her hand. 1 had no doubt that I was the fortunate man and, If a choice was Inevitable, would be chosen. If you ask on what grounds we based these opinions I re ply that each drew his inference from Dorothy's actions toward him. She gave me her photograph, exacting my promise not to tell Hen, and gave Hen her photograph, exacting ids promise not to tell me. .This sort of trick she played us In a grear variety of ways. It was quite natural that each uluuld deem himself the favored one. One evening we called on Dorotliy together and stated our proposition. In order that neither should have the advantage of being spokesman wo were both spokesmen. Hon made u preliminary statement of the ease, while I followed with the alternative. Tile little witch's eyes danced while wo were doing so, though when the last words were spoken, "or wo go west tomorrow," she looked at us in quiringly. Seeing determination In the countenance of each, she made a little gasp, then turned her back and walked to the window. When she turned toward us there was a singular expression, or rather combination of expressions, on her face--something serious, something comical, and, above all, somethtug ex tremely mischievous. "I don't wish to drive two such line fellows a way," she said. "If I must chooso between you I must make my choice by lqt." tiolng to an antique writing desk, Bhe opened a little drawer and took out an old copper cent, such as has now' gene completely out of circula tion. ., "It Is. a toss, bojwocu yom I shu.M Hip this cent. If It comes dTiwn tails" (she said tills to Hon) "I will njarry you and make you a devoted wife. If it conies down heads" (turning to me) "you are the one I shall love till death do us part." "You give me tails. I am not your preference," said Hen In a frightened tone. "Let us choose for ourselves," I said. "Give Hen llrst choice." "You have neither of you anything to do with the method by which 1 come to my decision," she said. "It is I who make the choice, not you." Tossing the cent In the air, giving It a Hip at the same time with her thumb, it fell ou the lloor, rolled about awhile, struck the leg of a chair and was still. Hen and I both sprang forward, but Dorothy waved us back. "One step and you both go west!" she exclaimed. ricking up the coin, which we could both see she did carefully and fairly, she held it out to us without looking at It heiMolf.. "Heads:" 1 cried. Hen dropped Into a chair. She went to him and took his hand, while a teat stood In her eye. 1 slipped out of the room, leaving her to comfort him. Hen acted very nicely about the af fair and took his disappointment re markably well. This. Dorothy told me, was because I had secured her by ohnneo and not by preference. Hrlght of Dorothy to fore-see such a result and act accordingly, wasn't It V I would have preferred to be preferred, but I was so glad to get her that I swallowed that part of the matter. At any rate we were married and have lived very happily ever since. We had been married but a few months when, hunting for a pair of sleeve links In a Japanese box, I came upon an old cent bearing date 18."S. Being an old fashioned, enormous coin, I was reminded that I had not seen one of them since Dorothy "tossed" between Hon and me. Turning It from one side to the other, I was astonished.

Ciirloun UfNiiltM Olilitlneil It.v MKIiik YVIiInU.v mill Wnter, Some cm-lout results are shown by blending of spirits. Take nineteen and one-quarter gallons of high print spirits and add twenty-two and one fourth gallons of water, and. strange to say, you have forty gallons, and not forty one and one-half, as one would nitu rally suppose. This Is reisinably e plained by the large globules of the spirit nlisck'hliiK the small globules of water, thereby lessening the volume of wine gallons. Here is another phenomenon: Take equal parts of whisky and water, each at a temperature of 70 degrees I-'. Mix them and the temperature rises at Aice to SO degrees. If two barrels of whisky are placed under a roof, one with the bung In and the other with It out, the former will gain In proof, while the hitter will lose. This Is due to the fact that when the bung Is In there Is no evaporation, but the barrel absorbs the water much fast er than It does the whisky. When the bung Is out there Is evaporation, and the spirit evaporates easier than the water.

It may seem strange to us, though the fact nevertheless remains, that the veterans of the grand army of Na poleon, weighed down by ago and glory, were men of whom few had passed their thlrty-llfth year. It was a time of rash and short living, with an early age and no overtures of real youth a time when we llml Thackeray 'ridiculing Du Florae for holding claim:? on being still n young man at the age of thirty-five! The unmistakable tend ency of our time to rejuvenate life and to prolong or, rather, to vanquish age. Is placing its stamp on every event of individual existence. The average man today carries the spirit and power of youth into an ago which a century ago aviis regarded as bordering on tho shady side of existence. The buoyancy and vigor characteristic of our present middle aged man make It hi most cases extremely dldlcult to approach any fair degree of accuracy In deter mining tint age of a person passing along the ascension scale between for ty and llfty-llve. And what Is said of man refers, of course. In equal if not In still more accentuated degree to wom an. One of the causes of this remark able arrest of old age lies undoubtedly lu the Increasing Indulgence of our tlmo in healthy outdoor sports, with their care free and worry free aban don. The occasional freeing of thu mind from tho "strenuous life," the de termination for u longer or shorter tlmo to force business and routine In terests to tho wall and give up onesuIC without scruple or narrow minded con ventional restraint to the spirit of thu A TOIIKIH' 'I'MlhllT. Try it yourself, very slowly and care fully until you can say it easily; then pass It along to your friends. Hero it Is: "She stood at the gate, welcoming him lu." Ten to one a person trying to iro nouuee the sentence for tho first time will fumble It laughably. Tongue twisting sentences, however, are good elocutionary exercises. They give you control of your vocal organs so that you can enunciate properly, Just as linger exercises on the piano or organ give control of the lingers. .What an Immense amount of mechanical prac tice does It require to establish any thing like a close sympathy between the brain and the physical organs!
