A Long Job. An English astronomer, J. Franklin- Adams, is said to haye begun the pro- digious task of counting the stars. Most people greatly overestimate the number of stars to be seen on a clear night—a matter of some 4,000 —but their guesses are likely to fall as far short of the number revealed .by a telescope. Even a field glass increases the visible number aston- ishingly, and the big telescopes reveal a number estimated at over 60,000,- 000, while the camera reveals, appar- ently, over 100,000,000. The method of counting is by moving the photo- graphic plates, each covering a small area of the heavens, across the field of a microscope provided with a grad- uated grating so that the stars can be counted in narrow strips—Spring- field Republican. : tn 39 When You Are Tired. Don’t grit your teeth and work harder. Ease up a littie. Den’t talk any more than you can help. Talking takes vitality. Lie down in a dark place if only for 15 minutes. Don’t read anything in which you are not interested. Don’t feet that everything must be done in one day. There are 361 more. * Realize that it is better to leave things undone than overdo yourseif. Avoid people and their woes at that time. Seek some one frivolous. Don’t try to improve yourself. Give your mind a rest. And don’t forget that a little lemon juice in cold water in the morning is a great help. Temperance in Norway. “The cause of temperance is work- ing. gréat headway in Norway. We have adopted the local option policy with excellent results,” said P. Anen- sen, a manufacturer of white paper, from Skien, Norway. “Whenever the people of a certain district or county wish to abolish drinking houses an election is held at which all adult males in that territory are supposed to. vote. If any are absent thelr votes are counted for prohibition. Another election cannot be held until after five vears.” AFRAID TO EAT Gir! Starving on Ili-Selected Focd. “Several years ago I was actually starving,” writes a Me. girl, “yet dared not eat for fear of the conse- guences. “I had suffered from indigestion from overwork, irregular meals and _ improper food, until at last, my stomach became so weak I could eat scarcely any food without great dis- tress. “Many kinds of food were tried, all with the same discouraging ef- fects. 1 steadily lost health and strength until I was but a wreck of my former self. “Having heard of Grape-Nuts and its great merits, I purchased a pack- age, but with little hope that it would help me—1I1 was so discouraged. “I found it not only appetizing but that I could eat it as I liked and that it satisfied the craving for food with- out causing distress, and if I may use the expression, ‘it filled the bill.’ “For months Grape-Nuts was my principal article of diet. I felt from the very first that I had found the right way to health and happiness, and my anticipations were fully ‘realized. “With its continued use I regained my usual health and strength. To- day I am well and can eat anything I like, yet Grape-Nuts food forms a part of my bill of fare.” “There’s a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

In Wisconsin a baker must serve three weeks in jail for sleeping in his bakery. In California nurses are punished by fine or imprisonment should they fail, in the proper instance, to notify the physician of certain phases of ill- ness in their patients. ; To water a bicycle path in the State of Ohio is an offence punishable by heavy fine and sometimes imprison- ment. : ; In most of the States it is a penal offence to tap a telegraph wire or to sell kerosene that is not up to the fire test. If the old lawgivers were to extend their tour of investigation they might learn of men fined or imprisoned for dropping advertising matter in letter chutes; for ‘gambling by means of slot machines; and for countless other offences the very means for committing which were unknown one hundred years ago.—IHarper's Week- ly. A ——————————————————— WORDS OF WISDOM. m The lonesomest man in the world is the third party in a hammock. When a man starts down hill every one gets busy greasing the slide. It’s tough luck for a chauifeur to be knocked down by a milk wagon. A man rocked a boat, and every one said it was a most impressive fu- neral. There are seven ways to skin a rabbit, but the rabbit has no prefer- ence. Many a divorce suit has started with the bread .that mother used to make, When you feel like fighting use fhe telephone—it saves the skin. Honesty is the best policy; but honest people don’t play policy. A wise man gives his tongue a rest at the expense of his ears. It takes two to make a quarrel, but one peacemaker can start a riot. Makes no difference whose name is on the safe; it’s the man who holds the combination. Cold cash makes quitters of us all. She that fishes fbr love is liable to catch—any old thing. The reformed men in paradise must bore even the angels. Few of us believe in luck unless we nappen to be unlucky. . Father Time frightens us away from the future by the sign “No Ad- mittance” on the door. Lots of us don’t cast our bread on the waters until it is too stale to do anything else with. We entreat the gods to give us the desires of our hearts, then, when they are realized, we dispose of oun obligations with a hasty ‘Much ’bliged.”—From ‘Fool's Cap Filos- ophy,” in the New York Telegram. . Connecticut Bird Preserve, Despite the fact that reports have been circulated of late that the Com- missioners of Fisheries and Game had secured 2000 quail from Oklahoma and would place them on Terry Isl- and, near Suffield, Commissioner Geo. T. Mathewson said last evening that nothing has been done about buying any quail as yet. It is true, however, that the use of the island, which con- tains about 135 acres, has been ob- tained by the commission, and it i= very likely that a preserve will be es- tablished there. Until fifteen or sixteen years ago the island was inhabited by Clinton Terry, and the house is still standing, and it was from this place vears ago that a band of Second Adventists put on their ascension robes and waited in vain for the end of the world.— Hartford Courant, Cost of Titles. King Edward’s birthday is eagerly awaited by the various heraldic of- ficers of the Crown, for the new titles that, as occurred this summer, are distributed on every birthday, mean a payment to the heralds of a good many heavy fees. The following is a list of the cost of taking up titles in England: Duke, $6495; marquis, $5640; earl, $4785; viscount, $4000; baron, $3210; baronet, $2675, and knight, $485.—New York Press. Mother's Preference. 1'The twins were being congratuia- ted upon the arrival of a small broth- er when the neighbor inquired, “Well, how did you boys like the boy?” “Oh,” answered Howard, noncha- lantly, “we thought it was all right; but mamma would rather have had an automobile,” DUN’S WEEKLY SUMMARY Gradual Improvement in the Business Situation Reported—More Steel Orders in Sight. New York.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s “Weekly Review of Trade says: “Gradual imprevement in the com- mercial situation is reported, although the volume of trade has not expanded in proportion to the growth of confi- dence. Resumption of work at man- ufacturing plants is the best evidence of progress, the number of unemploy- ed, though slowly, diminishing. Scarcity of water is an adverse in- fluence at several points. Several returns for the last week exhibited little or no loss, as compared with sim- ilar figures for 1907, notably shoe shipments, flour output and bank ex- changes at some points. ‘Steel mills have more business in sight. A current factor of value is the increased demand by the rail ways for both rolling stock and equip- ment. “Restricted operations at cotton mills during the past nine months have prevented accumulation of goods in the hands of producers, and the statistical position is also healthy as to jobbers and retailers. “Buyers are scarce in the market for woolens, but there is a good call for delivery of sample pieces. An unusually small percentage of the sea- son’s requirements has been ordered. “The domestic market for hides is still quiet, yet the tone is better. al- though actual sales at the East are unsatisfactory. Tanners of upper stock insist that price are too low in relation to the hide market, but ef- forts to secure a proportionate ad- vance result in a check to business. Forwardings of footwear from Bos- ton showed a tota] slightly in excess of the corresponding week last year. MARKETS. PITTSBURG. Wheat—No. 2 red... 8"! 2 Rye—No.2......... .

Pretty sofa cushions always add a touch of hominess to any room, and, while the cushions may be not only beautiful but inexpensive, they are well worth the little trouble it takes to make them. A very . attractive cover, answering to this description, is of old-fashioned scrim dipped in coffee to give it a rich, creamy tint. It is a very useful material, for it may be embroidered in many ways. Narrow cotton soutache works in charmingly; mercerized cotton or silk —doeone in, the cross-stitch—gives it a comfortable, grandmotherly laok. And last, but not least, the mesh is wide enough to permit the design to be carried to perfection with French embreidery ribbon. An ecru scrim cover is made beau- tiful by a design of large brown daisies done with the last-named ma- terial. The flowers are not scatter ed broadcast on the pillow, nor have they any stems. The design is quite conventional: the daisies—which per- haps are better as stars, save for the yellow rosettte in the center of the five petals—are placed in a double row around the edge of the pillow, thus forming a border. This leaves the smooth material in the center and insures the comfort of the 1 when in use.—Pitts- burg FINANGE AND TRADE REVIEW | nol. 5 es Testing Kinship by Blood. i ilarities or blood analyses, as suggested by Prof. Nuttall, the Eng- lish biologist, is bringing novel ideas into zoology. .

The art of reading is to skip judic- iously. Whole libraries may be skimmed in these days, when we have the results of them in our modern culture without going over the ground again. And even of the books we de- cide to read, there are almost always large portions which do not concern us, and which we are sure to forget the day after we have read them. The art is to skin all that does not con- cern us, whilst missing nothing that we really need.—P. G. Hamerton. Moon’s Surface Changes. Changes on the moon’s surface, es- pecially near the crater Linnacus, are now recognized by Pickering, Barnard and others. It is concluded that the diminution of a white patch must be a melting of hoar frosts at sunrise and that the deposition and melting of frost must be taking place in other parts of the moon.
