Hits Time It's on. the Joys nnd Perils of Telling Lies
By DOKOTHV. MX:
Lying Is something that we say that we
would never, never, do, not evenn.tt yon
cutue In little pieces to try. to' make ua
do It, but that, we do, for we are all
Hate.
Hut when anr
body accuses you
ot telling a He
you muat 'et very
entry and - say
yoi've b e e n . In-
j suited, for you
! have to make be-
,tJi !
Have that you don't
know that you're
a IUr.
A lie la the truth
with the chill taken
off of IU ao that
It won't make
fplka' teeth chatter
when you douche
'em with It.
Poople who tell
ilea are very
wtckwl and will so to the had place when
they die, but they are niont agreeable,
and everybody aaka them to dinner while
they are alive.
Folk j who tell th truth always say
naaty thing to you, but a liar speak to
ynu nice knd pleasant.
Everybody saya that Mr. TUInka la the
btggeat liar In town, .but when he cornea
to our houae he alwaya aaya that ha Just
dotea on hearing me recite "Ut-tul Mabel
with Her F-a-c-e Against the Window
P-a-n-e," and he aaya that aome day I
will be a great actreaa en the stags and
he will come to see me. And papa gta
out his best ctgarq and offera Mr. BUnka
a handful, and mamma aaya won't he
stay to supper, and when he goes home
mamma and papa say. "Isn't Mr. Blinks
a delightful manl And so Intelligent! And
aueh fine critical taste!"
But when Mrs. Jlnka cornea to our
hoiiMt she aaya-that It's Just awful the
way people put children forward now,
and., that If there' a anything that bores
her to death It la to hear a child get up
anil mumble something and think she's
elocutlng. And when Mrs. Jlnka goes
home my mamma and papa say that she's
the worst old ' eat they ever aaw, and
they hope , she'll ' never come again.
Everybody aaya that Mrs. -Jlnka la so
truthful.
There are two Vlnds of lloe white lies
and black lies. White. Ilea are the kind
that you tell' yourself,, and Mack Ilea
are the kind the other people tell.
Also there are tarridlddlea. A tarrldld
dlo Is a little,, tecntsy, weentsy llo,- like
wfe'en you say that you are not at home
when you are. . or a lady aaya that ahe
la M-.when she la Vor when a gentle
man aaya that he never asked a lady to
klrf him before, or that . the reason he
didn't come home until. IS o'clock waa
because he had to work ao hard at the
office.. A. tarrldlddla Isn't any harm, be
cause nobody' believes It, but It just
make things nice and pleasant like they
were greased.
Also It la not any harm for you to tell
a .little lie about other folks, but It s a
dreadful thing for them to tell even the
littlest bit of a baby lie about ynu.
My father aaya that lying Is an elegant
accomplishment that every lady should
perfect herself In, especially If she ex
pects to marry, and that It will do more
to promote harmony In the family than
a knowledge ot muslo will.
. Little girls must never tell Ilea, but
grownups, can tell all thav want to. and
nobody dast wash their mouths nut with I
soap, I hope It won't be long before I
am grown.
The biggest lie In the world Is when
folks say they never told a lie. All of
ua can't be great Here like the father
of our country was, but we can atl do our
humble beat.
And most of ua do.

Are Men the Freaks?
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
The claim recently marts that girls who
drees In an abnormal fashion belong to
the' freak family ta causing friends of my
ex to rush to their defense with the
charge that the men are to blame.'
' la It possible that the ..men 'are the
freaks; that some' strange, unnatural
kink tn their brains Is causing them to
admire that which good sense ahould
condemn? It la to their moral degen
eracy Oat the indecent 1 styles in dress
are flue?, foes every', man who passes
by a nice, modest girl to pay his atten
tions to one who dresses freakishly and)
immodestly put the stamp of approval
on that which his own gooj sense decries?
"The young man who stood on the
street comer," writes a girl, "and won
dered where be could look for a wife.
being satisfied he could never find her
in the throng of freaka passing by, will
look for her among the freaks, just the
same. Take my word for that! I know
the men, and I know that the nice, sensi
ble girls are the' girls Who are left on
ths shelf."
"Let me say right here," wrltea "One
of Them, ' ' that the world is full of girls
ot fine . Character and womanliness
whose ambitions and ideas are higher
than for Just a good time. Theae girls
are not dowds, either. They look smart.
even If most ot them, make their, own
clothes, and they know all about house
work, end they like and enjoy a decent
good time. Men nowadays don't trouble
themselves as to a girl's ideals. Their
first question Is, 'Does she drees swell T
or 'Is she a good sport T Ths question of
the Intelligence of a girl Ir of no interest
to them. It doesn't seem right, but that
Is Just how things are, so let these' young
men look a bit further and they will find
plenty of good, sensible girls. That Is, if
they went to find them; but the trouble
Is that they don't"
A Wall street stenographer writes:
"I admit there are more freaky looking
girls than sane ones on the streets to-
fay: but, then, who encourages this
dress T No one but the men. Look around
the Broadway restaurants and theaters,
and see which la the girt who la token
out the modest, sane looking girl or the
so-called freak with enough paint on her
face to paint the side of a house? J am
not a prude by any means', 'nor 'am I
rrowlmr pin feathers for" angel wings,
and no one enjoys going to a dinner more
than I do; but where is the man who
takes the girt who dresses moiestly and
In keeping with her Income? Men need
not go-hungry for the want of sincere
loving; they are not looking for It If
they were they would have "no difficulty
In -finding H.' The sensible looking, girl
is simply not seen when It comes to go
ing' out; she doesn't exist so far as the
men are concerned." ......
"What," aaka another woman, "do men
see In those girls whose minds never rise
any higher than 'the 'topmost plumes In
their hats? What de they count on In
the future with them t -Do they think
they can tango through- matrimony and
pick their clothea off the trees like Adam
and Eve and catch their food falling
down from the sky? What Is the matter
with the young man of today, anyhow?"
Does any one know and la he to
blame?
By OARIIETT F. SEIXX IS.
A reader in Iowa, whose letter Is too
long to quote, suggests that a great
many people, Including himself, would
like to know something about the
terlor of the globe
on which we dwell.
It Is a curious sub
ject, and there are
certainly more
wonders under our
feet than the vest
majority of man
kind ever dreams
of.
. Kor an intellec
tual being It la a
delight to live on
a big detached ball
floating In space,
almply because of
the fascinating
problems that such
a situation gives rise to. Real life la not
baaed on eating and drinking, but on
thinking. Man would be no better than
a stupid Insect on his spinning ball It he
did not speculate about It, dig Into It
from pure eurloalty, try all kinds of
experiments with It, Investigate as much
of It ss he ran reach and reason about
the parts ot It that he cannot reach, thua
proving that he la greater than the
globe he dwells on.
The master la more than hla house,
athough he cannot carry it off oh hla
back.
Let us then turn our attention for a
few momenta to the Inside of ths earth.
The healthy mind aprroaohes such a
subject with the avidity of a hungry
man sitting down to a bounteous dinner.
Tle reader whose letter started this
writing begins with a mistake. lie says:
"Abstract mathematicians sssume the
weight of a body to Increase down to
the center of the earth," and then he
sets out to demonstrate that they are
wrong. But no auch assumption la ever
made. Mathematicians and physicists
are perfectly aware that the weight ot
bodies must decreaae as the earth's oen-
ter Is approached. That center Is the
I focus toward which the attraction of the
1 earth draws any body above It. or en
' Its surface, and the amount ot that at
traction measures the weight of the
body, but arrived at the center Itself the
body would have no weight,' because
there the attraction Is balanced on all
side. i
The decrease of weight as the center
of the earth Is approached Is based upon
a very curious fact, the development of
which by Blr Isaac Newton Is as delight
ful as a romance for those who can ap
preciate H.
In that great eplo of science, the VPrln
clpls," Newton shows that at any point
In the interior of a spherical shell of
homogeneous material the effect of Its
attraction Is sero, or nothing at all. If
the earth were such a shell, Instead of
being, as we believe, a solid globe
throughout, then a. body placed Inside
the earth would have no .tendency to
fall in any direction. It would simply
stay wherever It waa put unless some
other force then gravitation were brought
to bear upon It. .
Now this same reasoning applies to the
solid earth It we divide- It, Ideally, into
a series of concentric shells. You can
maks those shells of any .thickness you
please. When you go down Into a deep
mine you leave above your level a shell
of the earth's substance equal In thick
ness to the depth of ths mine. .The at
tractive force, or gravitation, of that shell
is neutralised, as far ss you nre- con
cerned, and you will be drswn .toward
the eartha center only by the attraction
of the aphcrlral mass that still lies below
your lex el.
When you get to the center there Is
no matter below you all' Is abov ami
equally distributed all around, so thnt
the algebraic aum ot its attractions npo.i
you In aero.
As Prof. Young has remarked i- - "Al
though at the renter of the earth the at
traction necessarily becomes Sere), yet,
as we descend below the surtaoe, gravity
Increases for a time down to some un
known, but probably not very great
depth, wnere It becomes a maximum."
The Iowa reader Is certainly wrong In
placing the depth of maximum attrac
tion, or weight at 8,100 mllee . below the
aurface. It cannot be anything like so
groat, but lust what It la we do not
know because we are Ixnorant of the
real distribution of materials Inside the
globe. , ..."'
But the fact that the weight of bodies
must decrease an the earth's center la
approached uoes not contradict the as
sumption, based on other considerations,
that the Interior consists, of matter
much more dense than the aurfaco, or
outer shell. Thua It Is not Improbable
that deep In the enrth there are great
masses of heay rrietala, and the core
may be mainly composed of iron.
The auRRcstlon that there may be a
spherical hollow in the center ot the
earth, inhabited by unknown -beings,
freed from, the troublesome clog of, gravi
tation, la very capt'vatlng to the Imagina
tion when the harness of science is re
moved from Its weary shnulderrs and It
la turned loose for recreation In its own
froe Elyslan fields. , . -i
