The oldest and readiest means of cul tivating the sense of beauty Is habitual observation of the heavens, for which the only things needed are the open sight of the sky and the observing eye. The heavens are always declaring "the glory of God." The noblest poetry of all nations celebrates the majesty and splendor of the sky. Psalmist, prophet and artist draw thence their loftiest teachings. Bun, moon and stars, sun set and sunrise, clouds tossed and torn by wind, floating or driving mists and fogs, snow, rain and the clear blue are all phenomena of the sky which will afford endless delights to him who watches them. The dweller on the prairie or the sea has the best chance at the sky, and the dweller In narrow streets, hemmed In by tall buildings, has the worst This obstruction of the sight of the sky Is one of the grave evils which beset a modern urban pop ulatlon. City people run about at the bottom of deep ditches and often can see only a narrow strip of the heavens, Fortunately the loftiest structures rear ed by men are not so high but that a moderate open area In the midst of a closely built city will give a prospect of large sections of the heavens. This Is one of the great things gained for an urban population by accessible open Bpiu-es. such as parks, commons, marshes and reaches or ponds of wa ter. Next to observation of the sky as a means of developing the sense of beau ty comes observation of the landscape. -Charles William Eliot in Critic. CONGENIAL WORK. It I On ef tha Greatest Factors For Qoo4 Health. Congenial work with mind and hands should be encouraged In all persons for Its prophylactic as well as Its curative Influences. Rest will prove serviceable doubtless In numbers of cases, but Its application should be re stricted and carefully studied. There are many conditions where absolute rest will not only prove useless, but really harmful. To send a man from an active business life to one of com plete inactivity will often prove dis astro us, as much so as to prescribe all food for the obese. The nervous will complain' that they do not feel like work. ' If left to them selves and told to do absolutely noth ing, not even to read, they are sure to dwell upon their Infirmities and grow thereby morose and hypochondriacal, thus Increasing their Invalidism. The desire for work should be encouraged In all conditions and In all classes. If one's Interest Is aroused even to a slight degree a continuance In the work will develop a desire for occupation. One will never feel like work If one has nothing to do. Work will often ac complish what medicine, however prop erly applied, will not for It Is not alone that we must earn our bread by the sweat of the brow, but every man and woman should work for the pleas ure of It as well as for the health giv Ing, brain expanding results and the benefit of example.

"Why are these envelopes made blue on the Inside?" asked a man looking at a specimen which a Wholesale station er held In his band. "For a very simple reason," was the reply. "One of the most' important re sults in the making of envelopes Is to prevent transparency:' Many white pa pers are so transparent that by careful scrutiny the contents ' Of ' an 'envelope made of such material may be deter mined. For instance, let m put a sheet of paper with writing on It lhto this envelope. We will now seal it and bold It to the light thus." Therey you can not only see the baak check,' but' you can also read many1,of th words' on the sheet of paper. ThW can' be prevented either by getting "a" thick " and high priced envelope which ' Is not transpar ent or by taking a cheaper grade of pa per which Is blue on one side. We sell thousands of packages" of blue envel opesthat Is, envelopes which are blue on the outside but people do not like them on account ef their1' color. Bo to get over the difficulty and still make an envelope that' will hide the contents and not be high priced "the manufac turer uses paper which Is blue on one side and white on the other. One fac tory In this city turns out more than a million of such envelopes dally, and their sale In large cities la enormous." New York Press. ' - " Wouldn't Take It Oat la Trad.

Bow One Woman Soma I'p Ilia Atti tude Toward Ilia Mother. In taking Issuo with a sclioolmnrm who said that when a boy thought much of a teacher It counted, while the girl pupil's professed friendship was only skin deep, a Howard mother who has both a son and daughter touches up boys in tills fashion: "The average boy looks on his mother as a slave, a drudge, a person to work for him, to be growled at, to be ashamed of and pushed aside when he gets old enough to look out for himself. The average girl, though she may be spoiled, selfish and at times ungrate ful, turns to mother for comfort, for advice, and when needed Is kind, con siderate and helpful. Some time ago I worked hard to give my boy and girl a treat. They were nway from home for a few days and I fixed up each one's room with new curtains, new carpets and a lot of new things' for their shelves, tables nud dressers. My little girl was so delighted thnt she could scarcely contain herself. My son never noticed the things and never expressed a word of thanks when his attention was finally called to them. I have talked with other mothers and almost without exception their experience Is the same. The daughters are the kind est and most grateful, while the boys exact the most attention, help the least and cause us the most worry und heart aches. Kansas City Journal. DESERT HEAT. It la Intenae, bnt It la Dry and Not Uncomfortable. It has been my fortune to visit some of the hottest places in America at the hottest period of the year and the reader may be Incredulous when I say that I have been vastly more uncora fortable In Boston, New York, Fhlla delphta, Baltimore or Washington In summer than I have at Yuma or in the heart of the Mojave, California or Apache desert, or any of the great pseudo summer deserts that reach away In a general line from Yuma to San Antonio, Tex. I recall entering a restaurant at Indlo, on the edge of the Mojave, when the beat called to mind proximity to a furnace. I suggested to a citizen that It was hot "No," he replied. "Yester day was hot: It was 120 degrees In the shade; today It Is only 110 degrees." Yet I have been more uncomfortable In Boston with the thermometer at 80 degrees. In Boston the heat was humid; one perspired. At Indlo or on the desert the beat was absolutely dry and at night the chances were that a blanket might be required, nature giv Ing one an opportunity to recuperate, which is not always the case tn the great cities. Country Calendar. VEGETABLE CATERPILLAR. A Cnrlona Combination of Animal ' and Plant Life. Vegetable caterpillar Is the name giv en to a fungus Oordyceps robertail found In New Zealand. It exhibits a curious and mysterious combination of animal and vegetable life and Is In variably found associated as a para site with the bulrush caterpillar. How the spores of the fungus enter the In sect, which has never yet been met with as a grub or moth, Is not certainly known. Sir Joseph Hooker suggests they get lodged In Its neck as It buries Itself. At any rate, the fungus springs from the head of the burled Insect and gradually absorbs Its inside till the whole body becomes full of purely veg etable tissue, though In outward ap pearance it remains unchanged, head, legs and claws being seen clearly In detail. The pulpy vegetablo matter has a nutty flavor and Is eaten with relish by pigs and greedily devoured by the Maori wood hen. The fungus, after growing to a height of about six Inches, dies and dries up. London Standard. Sarcastic. At the sidewalk of one of the ferry houses In New York recently stood a police vehicle, backed against the curb awaiting Its load. Walking leisurely In tho center of the pushing, racing mob from a landing ferryboat was a tramp. all rags, but placid of manner. At bis side walked a bluecoat, who led him to the waiting patrol wagon. As tho tramp was about to enter he bethought himself, and, standing ofl the wagon steps, be leaned far out to one side and to the driver he called in the drawling voice or a bored bouievardier. "Home. James I" Scriptural Revenge. A letter In the Christian TTncHutni. tells of a minister's son who hnl Wn so disobedient at table that he was banished to a small table bv himself to eat there until he should repent and reiorm. He could not even loin In th family grace, but was told to say grace at his own little table. So from his store of ScrlDture selections h this: "O Lord, I thank thee that thou nast prepared a table for m In tho presence of mine enemies." J oat the War. "This article says that a person res cued from drowning should be turned face downward and vigorously treated with hot applications."

The figure of iho eagle on the dollars of 1830, 1838 and 1S3U are exact por traits of a famous American eagle. "Peter, the mint bird," ho was called by everybody lu Philadelphia, and dur ing his life his fame was equally as great as that of "Old Abe," the Wis consin war eagle, the hitter being really a spring chicken when compared with Teter. Peter was the pet of the Philadelphia mint for ninny years. Finally he was caught lu some coining machinery and had the life Jerked out of his body In a Jiffy. Tho figure on tho coins named above Is on exact reproduction of a portrait taken of Peter after he had been stuffed and placed In a glass case In the mint cabinet. Blamarck and Ennrlnnd. A remarkable utterouce of Bismarck Is printed In the Paris Gaulols from Emlle Olllvlcr's "L'EmpIre Liberal." It was mode at a dinner at Benedetti's In Berlin, lu 1809, at which Prince Na poleon was present, from whom Olll vler got the story. In answer to a remark made by the prince, Bismarck exclaimed: "They are always talking of England! Whot does England amount to, anyway? A nation exists only by the number of soldiers it can furnish. How many soldiers has Eng land? Perhaps 70,000, or at most 100, 000. And you? Half a million. And we? At least as many as you." Wanted. An old Scots woman, who at con siderable personal Inconvenience had gone u good way to visit a friend who was 111, learned on her nrrlval that the alarming symptoms hud subsided. "An' boo are ye the day, Mrs. Crawford?" she Inquired in breathless anxiety. "Oh, I'm nearly well uoo. thank ye, Mrs. Graham." Nearly well!" ex claimed the breathless visitor.
