SYMPATHY.
To gwe and take appears to be
die inevitable law, and it seems as
if those who have suffered most are
thoie who have given most to us,
in our sore human craving for help
and sympathy. —Miss Thackeray.
Association.
"A man is known by the company he
keeps."
"Yes." replied Miss Cayenne, "and
many men are unknown by the com
pany they pretend to keep."—Waahixw

HUMILITY.
Humility is die means of progress.
When we realize how Htde we know
we shall yearn and strive to know
, more. When we fed how imper
fect is our character, and not till then,
we shall make earnest efforts after
j our improvement.

KINDNESS.
Do not be afraid of spoiling any
one with kindness. It can't be
done. Instead of spoiling it beau
tifies the character, cheers the heart
and helps to raise the burden from
shoulders which, though brave,
sometimes grow very tired. Let
not a little coldness frighten you
away, for under a frigid exterior
there is always to be found a ten
der chord which is to be touched
by kindness.
NATURE AND THE MICROBE.
i
How the Nose and the Stomach Fighi.
Disease Germs.
The thoughtful reader will say.
"Surely, in the battle of man again.;t
microbe there must be some nature
means of defense by which men have
conquered in the past, long before the
microscope was invented." He i.-, right,
and science is never better employed
than in studying these natural dt
fenses. For example, we find no mi
crobes at all in air just after it passes
through the healthy nose. The nose
ts the original "domestic filter" for all
microbes iu dust in the air. Its se
cretions are antiseptic also, and man
has no more valuable outwork of de
, feuse than a normal nose. A choked
| nose, through which a person cannot
j breathe, means that microbes enter the
lungs freely byway of the fiiterlese
! mouth.
In the stomach we find free hydro
i chloric acid, produced some half hour
jor less after a meal. Its production
from the common salt, or # sodiuni ehlo-
I riuc, of the blood by the living cells that
; line the stomach is one of the wholly
Inimitable feats of the body. Until re
| cently most of us thought that the hv
i drochloric acid was formed in the stom
aeh solely in order to digest food, bur
now we have evidence to show that
j this hydrochloric acid is also a valuable
I antiseptic, working, for once, inside
the body without hurting it and prob- j
ably often saving us from the microbes ;
of consumption and typhoid fever. *
Thus the two great avenues of entry :
j to the body are in a large degree guard
ed. It may be added that no known J
| microbe can, unaided, penetrate thp !
; surface of the unbroken and healthy i
! skin.—Dr. C. W. Saleeby in Youth's i
Companion.

j EVOLUTION OF SHORTHAND. :
Modern Stenograohy Had Its Start In
the Tinve of Cicero.
To the average person the idea of
1 shorthand writing is generallv consid
-1
i ered as being indern. because of the j
j rapidity with which it has been intro
! duced into business life in this coun
j try. This is not the case, however, for
i history traces the use of a similar art
1 with definiteuess back to the time of
Cicero, about 70 B. C. The invention
5s sometimes credited to Cicero and
sometimes to his secretary, Tulliut
; Tiro.
Nothing seems to be '-mown of any
other system of shorthand during the
; Greek or Roman ascendency nor for |
1 fifteen centuries afterward. The first
of the noted systems at the beginning
of the preseuf era of shorthand was
that of Timothy Bright, whose treatise
was dedicated to Queen Elizabeth In
1600 Peter Bales brought out a system
1 similar in some respects to Bright's,
but which was difficult to memorize.
The next system to indicate progress
appeared twelve years later, by John
Willis, which was called "The Art of
Stenography or Short Writing by Spell
ing Characterie." Then came Edward
j Willis. Jeremiah Rich. William Mason,
Thomas Gurney, as well as many oth
ers. All of these systems had many
defects, and the entire idea was reju
■ venated when in the early part of the
nineteenth century Isaac Pitman, who
afterward was knighted, presented his
system, which is still in use and which
has been the foundation for most of
the systems now practiced.—-Exchange
The Check Went Back.
Not long ago a woman wrote her first
story and sent it to a magazine. To her
surprise and delight it was accepted."
The story was duly published am} a
check for payment forwarded. With
the check was a printed slip reading.
"No more checks will be sent until this
one has been returned." Back by re
turn mail went ,the check, with a note
from the lady to the effect that she was
very sorry the magazine had had the
trouble of sending it and please to send
the others immediately.—New York

New York, Sept. 23.—Swallowed up
in a canyon which suddenly opened
in Seventh avenue, six persons were
killed and . over 200 seriously or
slightly injured here.
Two persons injured in the disaster
i later died. The collapse of the street
followed a dynamite blast touched off
in the new subway under course of
construction.
The street disappeared from sight
; for a distance of almost two blocks, j
j The collapse extended from Twenty
; third street almost to Twenty-fifth.
The great timbers supporting the
street flooring snapped under the
! force of the dynamite blast and the
I street, carrying its burden of traffic.
foot and vehicle, sank slowly from
: sight.
When dust had lifted those who
had rushed to the edge of the chasm
saws hundreds of men and women
making frantic efforts to free them
selves from the tangle of uprights and
cross beams. At one end of the great
hole was a surface car. It had gone
down as the tracks sank under it and
! lay there crushed. Heads and arms
were thrust from the windows and
those who looked on helplessly could
hear the cries of those who were
caught in the wreckage. Women and
girls who caught a glimpse of what
was happening down there fell faint- |
ing or ran away shrieking.
From the broken ends of great steel
pipes streams of water poured down
upon those who were struggling for
their lives. Broken gas mains flood- ;
ed the air with stifling odors. Here
and there tongues of flame licked at
the timbers. From the neighborhood,
came cries of distress that mingled
with those that came up from the
jumble that a moment before was a
street. Then after that first moment
of excitement came the rescuers. |
j Long before the firemen had
reached the place, and the firemen
came very quickly, the buildings sur- i
rounding the cut were pouring out i
men and women with ladders, ropes, i
pieces of wire, anthing they could lay
their hands on that might be of as
sistance in getting the injured to tlm
street level.
Some of those who had gone down
with the roadway escaped without in
jury or with slight injuries. They
turned their attention to the un- <
fortunate ones. Firemen and police
came with long ladders and a very
short time the place was cleared of in
jured. The dead were taken up after !
that. It was the first time that such
an accident has occurred.
THE WAY TO ABOLISH WAR
Extermination of Warriors, Is Henr,
Ford's Proposal.
New York, Sept. 23.—"The way tc
stop this awful business of war is tc
exterminate the warriors. I can make
an aerial torpedo thrower operated b>
wireless which would depopulate the
earth in a short time. And it wouldn't
cost more than a hundred dollars to
make."
Ibis is what Henry Ford, the De
troit automobile manufacturer, told
Josephus Daniels, secretary of the
navy, in Washington, and repeated Jt
at the Hotel Biltmore. He also de
scribed his gasoline submarine which
he insisted, "will work, despite the j
many criticisms which have been of
fered by the incredu'ous."
Mr. Ford will today go down in a
submarine at the New York navy
yard.

CARLYLE'S FIRST LOVE.
She May Have Been the Blumline of
"Sartor Resartus."
During tho year 1818 Thomas Car
lyle. the Scotch philosopher, was llv
i tng at Kirkcaldy, and he seems then
for the first time to have fallen In love.
The lady appears not to have returned
the attachment, although she. with
: great insight, at the age of twenty-two.

twenty-five
J In the letter In which she took leave
of her admirer she used these signifi
• cant expressions: "Cultivate tho mild
er dispositions of your heart, subdue
; the more extravagant visions of the
brain. * * * Genius will render you
great. May virtue render you beloved!
'Let your light shine before men." and
think them not unworthy thLs trouble."
Many years after, when Carlyie
wrote his reminiscences, he described
the episode. lie says that Margaret
Gordon "continued for. perhaps, some
three years a figure hanging more or
(ess in my fancy, on the usual roman
tic and latterly quite elegiac and silent
terms."
The real Interest of the story is:
Was Margaret Gordon the original of
the Blumline of "Sartor Resartus?"

spired some of the details, it was Mar
