It is impossible for a man to live wholly to himself however selfish he may be. Consciously or unconsciously what he says and does influences others and he in turn is influenced by them though he may not admit it. When making snaps or cookies if the dish m which dough is mix ed is kept in ' cold water while cookies are being rolled out, it will save adding more flour, thus making them short ana crisp in stead of hard and tougb. For the living of a true life one has to keep the conscience sensi tive. ( Anything of a questionable nature we allow to enter into our upeech or actions blunts the con science more or less and lessens the beauty and symmetry of life. Down at the White Pine Sana torium for consumptives it takes 1176 soft boiled eggs for break fast, and 850 lbs. of fresh fish for dinner. No wonder eggs are high; but if it does the unfortu nate victims good, no one will be grudge them their diet of fresh eggs and fish. What a blessing it is that life is a struggle. If everything were made easy for us most of the joy of living would be taken away. There is an exhilaration and bless ing in the efforts we put forth, often again b t great odds, and ev ery victory gained means added strength and power.

A 8TORK'S NEST, ""rpl Treasures One Yielded In an Alsatian Town. - The following details concerning the structure and contents of a stork's nest Investigated on the summit of the Cathedral of Colmar In Upper Al sace may be of Interest: The city architect has just delivered a public lecture there on ''Storks and Their Ways." He described a stork's nest which was about 30 years old; It measured 6 feet across and was 5 feet in height; it weighed sixteen hundredweight, or over three-quarters of a ton, and it was such a solid mass that It had to be broken up by UBlng a pickax. The nest was made of twigs of wood and clay and the ma terials filled twenty-four sacks. The walls of the nest were found to contain seventeen, ladles' black stock ings, five fur caps, the sleeve of a white silk blouse, three old shoes, a large piece of leather and four buttons that bad belonged to a railway port er's uniform. A Blind Judge. The death of Mr. E. F. P. Emmett, president of the Burnley Incorporated Law 8ot:lety, one of the two blind so licitors in England, may recall the fact that in Ireland a Judge of the Superior Court discharged his judicial duties for years when totally blind. The Hon. Richard Pennefather was appointed a Baron of the Irlnh Ex chequer, in 1821, and died in 1859 while still retaining his judicial of fice. He was fdr the last five years of his life wholly blind, and on Febru ary 15, 1856, in the discussion in the House of Commons of a motion of Sir John Shelley's moving for a return of the dates of call to the bar of the various Irish Judges, their appoint ments as Judges abd the number of occasions on which they were absent from circuit, Mr. Baron Pennefather's retention of his seat on the bench, notwithstanding the " deprivation of his sight, was a matter of stricture.

That Name Out of Every Sixteen At Srollh College. Nine persons out of ten, if ask ed which of the names for wo men had found most general adoption, would answer "Mary." This would have been correct In the past. It is not the case today if the Smith college registration affords a test. Helen is the name of one Smith undergraduate in every 15, an interesting revival of the historic ratio. The complete tabulation shows the comparative use of the different spelling. "Lillian" occurs nine time to two "Lilians' in spite of the exam ple of Tennyson, El'zabeth is spelled 47 times with a "z" and twice with an "s." Kathenne's spelled "ar" 25 'times and "er" 12 times, while the old form be ginning with "C" is found nine times more. Fashions change quite as rapidly in the names which fond parents select for their infants as in' anything else in the world. TOOK ALL HIS MONEY.

The New York World contain ed the following special from Sa lem, New Jersey: A farmer brought two hogs to a local butch er and offered them for sale. A price was quickly agreed on and the farmer said he would sell, but wanted the bams and should ers. To this the butcker was willing, and the weight had been taken the desired parts of the hogs were cut off and banded to the farmer, who asked for the balance coming to him. After figuring a moment the butcher replied, "You owe me $2.85." And the farmer had to pay it. The butcher had bought the hogs at wholesale price and charged the ! farmer retail rates for the parts reserved. In effect the farmer had made the butcher a present of two hogs and then paid him $2 85 for certain parts of them. Special Interest to Farmers. The most destructive forces of nature that we have to deal with are Thunder and Lightning. Ac cording to statistics at hand the frequency of lightning strikes varies somewhat with the charac ter of the land, the nature of the roofing material used, theabsence of the old time forests, and use of the buildings, all of which in fluence the liability of a strike and fire. As shown by statistics, it may be truly asserted that the risk in the country is five times greater than in the city. There is but one method known to sci ence whereby we may guard against loss from this destruc tive element, that is to provide a path over which the condensed electricity of a cloud may find its way into the earth without injury to life or property. Such a path mav be termed a Lightning Con ductor and which may be con structed of Iron, Steel, Copper and like metals of sufficient size and surface to safely carry off the average bolt of lightning. If the Conductors are of metal and have sharp points they give off "brushes" of electricity which neutralize the stress above them and prevent a lightning stroke. The function of a lightning Con ductor is two fold: first that of conducting the charge to the earth? second, the prevention of a destructive discharge by . silent neutralization of tho cloud elec trification. All barns and ex posed buildings should be pro tected by Lightning Conductors. Stamp clerks in post offices it appears may aid in preventing the spread of disease by deliver ing the stamps they sell in the right scanner. Physicians and the Board of Health of New York have complained that by pushing stamps across the counter with the adhesive side down, many disease germs adhere to them which are taken up by the tongue when the mucilage is moistened to affix the stamp to a letter, and thus the germs are taken direct ly into tlie system. 85 WANT A PICTURE FRAMED?
