Abuses of Optimism
Our sunshine thought for today Is
that the pessimist has his place in the
world as well as the optimist. Un-
doubtedly optimism Is good for such
dread maladies as the blues, the wil-
les, Jumps, the doldrums, the
dumps and the down-in-the-mouth dis-
ease,
Still there is such a thing as too
much sun-kissed optimism. The world
has a place here and there for the
regular pigheaded, rangtankerous. un-
reasonable, parrow-eyed, file-biting
pessimist. Too many people belleve
that Santa Claus runs the stock mar
ket or that if they sce the moon over
thelr right shoulder they have only
to make a wish and sure enough it
will come true Just like the pigeon
that flies out of the magiclan's hat
when he waves his wand.

Fancy Buttons for Men
Buttons played no small part in the
adornment of our grandfathers, who
paid high prices for thelr coat decora-
tions,
For Instance, a man named Bisset
has left on record the fact that the
buttons on his wedding coat cost $100,
and were of his own painting. He did
a good deal of fancy painting for Mat-
thew Boulton. “The elegant paintings
I did for him,” he mentions. “were on
glass, about the size of a half-crown
plece, with pearl devices in the cen.
ter on different colored foils. They
were set In steel for court buttons.
the size when finished of a Spanish
dollar. I generally had a guinea per
button.”—Montreal Family Herald.

New Era Began With
Power Over Darkness
Among the most notable finds at an-
clent Ur of the Chaldees in Mesopo-
tamia under the joint auspices of the
British museum and the University of
Pennsylvania are oll lamps of beau-
tiful design dating to nearly 4,000
years before Christ, revealing a clvill
zation older thap that of Europe,
“Thus, however far back we are
permitted to peep Into the dim past,”
the leader, Myr. Patterson, said, “when
man, with the same nature and foel-
ings as we, lived and loved, worked
and died, we tad him facing the same
problems as we do today, In seeking
to regulate the light of day which en-
tered his buildings, and to supplement
it at night as effectively as his knowl-
edge would permit.
“But from 4,000 years before Christ
to 1800 A. D., close to GOUD years,
that knowledge took him no further
than the pse of a wick dipped In oil,
or later, of the candle made from nat.
ural oll and futs. But with the begin-
ning of the last century a new era bhe-
gan, an era In which dawned the pos.
sibility of unlimited light during the
hours of natural darkness”
Snakes in Captivity
Turn Into Cannibals
Pythons, many of them 15 feet long,
who are among the guests of the Lon-
don zoo, spend most of their time sub-
merged In the water of the moat sur
rounding the enclosure. A few of the
inhabitants of the park, especially the
cobras, become ennnibals, and attack
and devour not only various harmless
species, but also some of their
poisonous relations, Even pufl-adders
have been recorded as falling
to the cobras’ viclousness and vo
racity. Mr. FltzS8immeons, the curator
of the Port Elizabeth museum, stu!
