IDLENESS.
Idleness breeds rust and courts
eviL An unhappy life is an idle
one. Those who are happiest are
the most earnest workers. It is
folly to say that we can find no
labor. Life itself is a stupendous
task. It is cowardly, however, to
shirk labor by feigning not to see
it. Each mortal, if he does his
duty, will have a busy life.
Cold Feet.
During a marriage ceremony in
Scotland recently the bridegroom look
ed extremely wretched, and he got so
fidgety, standing first on one foot and
then on the other, that the "best man"
decided he would find out what the
trouble was.
"What's up, Jack?" he whispered.
"Hue ye lost the ring?"
"No," answered the unhappy one.
with a woful look, "the ring's safe
enough, but. man, I've lost ma enthu
siasin."—Boston Transcript.
Lucky He Was Saved.
**Tou can't convince me." said the lit
tle man with the ragged trousers, "that
you can bring tip children right by
talkin' to 'tin and lettin' it go at that
You've got to use the rod. or you'll
spoil the child. 1 used to git about
three lickiu's a day on the average."
"It doesn't seem to have done much
for you." replied the lady with the pro
truding jaw.
"It done a lot for me. If they'd let
me go my own way I might almost of
been a failure in life."—Judge.
A Spirit of Resignation.
An actor on Iris benefit night, having
a very limited audience, when he came
to the ofteu quoted passage, " 'Tis not in
"mortals to command success, but we'll
do more, Senipronlus; we'll deserve it."
heaved a deep sigh and substituted for
the last line, "But we'll do more. Seni
pronlus: we'll do without It"—"Pic
* A—'-nm -• k ts. • -
lures and the Picture Goer."
For Baby's Bath.
If the baby is afraid of the water
and cries and screams when taking bis
bath buy several prettily colored cork
"bobbers" such as fishermen use.
Throw these in the bathtub and baby
will be so busy trying to catch them
that he will forget to be afraid of his
morning bath and will even learn to
like it.—Mother's Magazine.

,j B Not Worth a Rush.
The expression "Not worth a rush"
is as a popular saying the predeces
sor of the now more common simile
"Not worth a straw." In preenrpet
days it was the custom to strew the
floors of dwelling houses. When guests
of rank were entertained fresh rushes
were spread for them, but folk of low
er degree had to be content with rush
es that had already been used, while
still humbler persons had uone. as not
even being "worth a rush."—London
Standard,
t Mod#rn Requirement#.
The real estate man was showing
apartments to the young married pair.
"There are." he said, "seven rooms
and two baths; large, spacious kitchen;
bot and cold water, southern exposure,
elevator service, steam heat, gas, elec
tricity and no charge for Janitor's jobs.
The price is especially low —only $1,500
We will do all the papering

A Summer of Haze.
Europe and Asia were covered by
fog during the summer of 1783. Says
Gilbert White (letter 109): "The sum
mer of the year 1783 was an amazing
and a portentous one, * * * for. be
sides the alarming meteors and tre
mendous thunderstorms, * * * the
peculiar haze or smoky fog that pre
vailed for many weeks in this island
(England) and in every part of Europe
and even beyond its limits was a most
extraordinary appearance. The heat
was Intense. Calabria and part of the
Isle of Sicily were torn and convulsed
with earthquakes." Cowper also re
fers to this phenomenon in speaking of
"nature, with a dim and sickly eye."
Too Much Wit.
An East Cleveland man who likes to
tinker about his home pulled away the
steps to his side door last Saturday
and took them into the garage, where
he added sundry nails to makeup.
He was lugging them back when his
next door neighbor looked over the
fence and said:
"Hello. Brown. What you doing?
Repairing your house?"
"I'm taking steps in that direction,"
Brown replied.
He was so much pleased with his
wit that he forgot his caution, tripped
on a croquet wicket and. falling over
the steps, cut his nose on the scraper.

The Magnetic Poles.
The north magnetic pole is in lati
tude 70 degrees 5 minutes, and west
longitude 90 degrees 40 minutes. The
south magnetic pole is in latitude 72
degrees 30 minutes, and in east longi
tude 155 degrees 30 minutes. A straight
line drawn from pole to pole through
the earth would pass at a distance of
750 miles from the center. And one of
the remarkable facts about this mag
netic axis of the earth is that it keeps
itself at right angles to a line drawn
from its center to the center of the
sun.—New York American.
Psalms Not Barred.
The other evening Miss Y.. n maid
lady of uncertain years, suspeciin- it,
cook was entertaining her beau dew:
stairs, called Martha and iuquiiv
whether she did not hear some oj.
talking with her.
"Oil, no, ma'am!" cried the quick wi
ted Martha, "it was only me singiui:
a psalm."
"Very good." returned Miss Y sig
niflcantly. "You may amuse yourself
with psalms, but let's have no bims "
—Exchange.
MODERATE ABILITY.
The art of being able to make a
good use of moderate abilities wins
esteem and often confers more rep
utation than greater real merit. —
La Rochefoucauld.
Cheerful.
A certain philosopher used to thank
his lucky stars when he had the gout
that It was not the toothache, and
when he had the toothache he gave
thanks because he had not both com
plaiufs at ouce. - .

Never Touched Him.
Landlady (to new boarder, crushing
ly>— Mr. Newcome, that is the cream
and not the milk you are pouring on
your oatmeal. It was intended for the
coffee. Mr. N'.—Oh. never mind. Mrs.
Balkins. I like it just as well.
Quick Growing Rice.
In Siain there is under cultivation a
common sort of rice which in tiood
times grows as much as a foot in
twelve hours, so that the plant often
attains a height of ten feet in its ef
forts to keep its leaves above water.
Selfish.
"Bliggius says he can't write on a
typewriter because the noise disturbs
him."
"Yes. If there is any noise going on
Bliggius wants to make it himself."—
Washington Star.
Successful.
"I started out on the theory that the
world had an opening for me, and 1
went to find it."
"Did you find it?"
"Oh, yes; I'm in a hole."—Baltimore
American.
Always Dreaded the 14th.
Most dismal of all men off the stage
was Grimaldi. the clown, and his fa
ther fathered him. He had that curi
ous dread of a certain date which as
sails so many. The elder Grimaldi hat
ed the 14tb of the month, and when
it was passed he regarded himself as
safe until the next He was born,
christened and married on the 14th of
the month, and. being discontented
with all three events, we will hope his
death on March 14. 1788, satisfied him

Pitfalls of Slang.

A Proud Boast.
A teachers' meeting was in progress,
and it was decided that the more
difficult subjects should come in the
morning and those that required less
application later in the day. History
was last on the list, and Miss Wheeler,
the young teacher, protested.
"But it certainly is easier than
science or mathematics." the principal
insisted.
"As I teach it." replied the young
teacher, "no subject could be more
difficult and confusing."—Lippincott's.
White Socks Diplomacy.
She—Jimmy wears different socks
every day. He—How to you know?
She—By just looking at thorn. Sundays
he wears white ones; on Mondays he
wears them shaded under the aukles.
and on Tuesdays lie has a cute little
ring around them next to his shoetips.
He—And the rest of tlie week? She-
He wears high shoes.—Detroit Free
Press.
The Liberty Statue.
From time immemorial such great
sentiments as liberty, justice, truth
have been spoken of and when put intc
verse, statue or painting have been
represented as being feminine. Just
why this be so there is no tell
ing. but it is so. It was in obedience
to this custom that "Liberty Enlight
ening the World" stands in the shape
of a woman.—New York Journal.
Building For Earthquakes.
In the seismic districts of Italy all
new buildings are being erected under
strict supervision with respect to their
ability to resist earthquake shocks.
Professor Oniori. the Japanese author
ity. lias estimated that 99.8 per cent
of the deaths in the great Messina
earthquake of 1908 would have been
prevented if the buildings had been
properly constructed.
CONTENTMENT.
The happy state of mind so
rarely possessed in which we can
say, "I have enough," is the highest
attainment of philosophy. Happi
ness consists not in possessing much,
but in being content with what we
possess. He who wants little al
ways has enough. —Zimmerman.
The Place For All.
"Nothing," says Robert Herrick, "ir
ritates the thinking woman more than
to be told that woman's place is in the
home. She knows it. It is the man's
place also, and she knows that."—Bos
ton Globe
Watch Crystals.
A few factories in Europe make all
the watch crystals used iu the world
These comprise five in Lorraine, two in
France, two in Switzerland, one in Al
sace and one in Bohemia. The annua!
ouput is about 800,000 gross. Hand
labor is employed to a great extent in
making the crystals, and the wages
paid are very small.
To Wash a Greasy Bottle.
To wash a bottle or a glass that has
contained oil use very hot coffee
grounds. If the glass be badly incrust
ed wash it with a mixture of bichro
mate of potash and sulphuric acid in
equal parts, being careful not to get a
drop of this upon the fingers, as it is
a powerful caustic. Then wash in sev
eral waters.
