THE SENSE OF BEAUTY.
Cnlttval It br OkMrrlmc h tk?
Ba4 tka Laadaeap.
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. Medical World.
ENVELOPES.
torhr Bom ef Hum Are Colored Bine
oa the Inalde.
"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."

THE AVERAGE BOY.
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.

The Enitlo on the Dollar.
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.

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."
