Purity is not negative, but positive. An honor bought dishonestly is a dishonor. Don't measure a well until you get to the bottom. A brave man hazards life, but not his conscience. A thing is not necessarily true be cause it is new. Readiness in criticism often marks ignorance of the task. The greatest cowards kick the dead lion most heartily. When a man is dead to the sense of right he is lost forever. No toil, no hardship can restrain ambitious men inured to pain. Any coward can light with the mighty, but it takes a strong man to side with the weak. The saving of one convict's soul is striking one blow toward the stamp ing out of hereditary vice. Somehow the things you want al ways seem to come to you just as you've left off wanting them. A life of patient industry is sure to be blessed with a competence, if it is not crowned with an abundant re muneration. ARISTOCRATS OF THE FIELD. Vogetuble. and Flower. Which l.ook Down Upon Old-Ilrae Vurletl... It has come to be well understood generally that farther North either animal or vegetable life is developed the better that development is, so that the South and Southern planters are just as anxious to obtain North ern-grown seed as are their brethren of the North. The improvements that have been made in both vegetables and flowers during recent years seem scarcely less than marvelous to one whose at tention is for the first time directed thereto. There is scarcely a vegetable seed on the list, from artichokes to turnips; scarcely a flower seed, from abutilon to zinnia, that does not pre sent today a groat advance over those varieties as knotvn 20 years ago. Notably is the evolution of the great, glowing, velvety pansy of today from the little "Johnnie-Jump-Up" of a quarter of a century back. And equally striking has been the betterment of vegetables, in the annals of which a curious instance is recorded of acci dental hybridization in the discovery of a wrinkled pea in a pod of the common white Marrowfats, some 40 or 50 years ago, by Dr. Charles Pair beard, of England. Struck by the ap pearance of the pea, so entirely un like anything he had ever seen be fore, the doctor saved and planted it; and this single pea, thus pre served, was the projenitor of the magnificent race of sweet, green, wrinkled varieties, which arc fit for table UFO. It is to this quality of close and patient observation on the part of specialists that we are indebted for the great improvements referred to. By means of this cultivation the Dakotas have displaced tile dwarfed "squaw corn" that scarcely lifted its tasseled head higher than the prairie grass l>y some of the finest varieties of corn that can be produced, ears a foot long, and stalks six feet high being the rule and not the exception, and in some instances worth $2 a bushel for planting. Nor Is it in corn alone that this section of our great country excels, for Minnesota is today one of the greatest clover producing states of the Union, the seed grown there commanding the highest prices in the markets of the world.—Phila delphia Record. Doll's Fur. Sol,l In thn Cltlen. This is the season when its owner looks out to see that dolly shall be carefully protected against the cold when taken out for an airing. So the dolls' furs are brought Into use; or, if the doll has none, some are bought for it. These may be found in con siderable variety of style, material and price. Dolls' furs include muffs, and collarettes and boas. All these things are mafic in various sizes and then are commonly sold In sets. As to material, the costlier are made of a fur in imitation of ermine and of sealskin, such furs being lined with silk or with satin, in one color ana another, and muffs and collarettes finished just as those for grown-up people would be. Dolls' furs, according to the mate rial of which they are made and the style of finish, sell at from 50 cents, or perhaps less, a set, up to §3. They are, of course, sold only in the colder parts of the country, where furs would ordinarily be worn. And while there are some articles of dolls' equip ment that, like the dolls themselves, are sold in city and country alike, dolls' furs are sold chiefly iu cities. — New York Sun.

The Suez canal ia to be deepened and widened, if Mr. Linden W. Bates, the London hydraulic engineer, who is now at Suez, reports that the work can be done within a reasonable figure. The Canal Company hopes that the great waterway can be enlarged by the use of dredges, which are comparatively in expensive. There is great need of more room in the channel, for ships have been growing even greater, while the canal has remained unchanged. Mr. Bates, who is now going over the canal is enroute to Queensland, for whose government he has built three colossal dredges on the Tyne. These are to be used in clearing the harbors of Queensland of mud and detritus. The largest of the trio is the Hercules, a sea-going dredge of 5,000 horse-power, and. ,by permission of the Queensland government, i will be held in the canal for a time and experiments made under the direction of Mr. Bates. If it proves that dredging is a satisfactory method of enlarging the waterway between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal Company will proceed forth with to arrange for improvement on a large scale. Both the war office and the colonial office are concerned in the enlargement of the canal, and the request made to Mr. Bates to go to Suez was endorsed by the latter department. Electricity in the Schools. In an article in the current number of Success Thomas A. Edison makes some hopeful predictions for electricity. Ife says: "Not only as a motive power for massive enterprises will electricity find uses during the coming half century, but it will also be applied to the 'gentler sciences,' if I may use the term. By this I mean surgery, optics and_ astrono my, but greater minds than mine must dwell on this particular branch of elec trical usage. Already we have surgical instruments that a.rc being operated by electricity with gratifying success; in deed, they have gone beyond the experi mental stage. It will find a large field in the operation of manufacturing ma chinery, as the Niagara Falls plant shows, and it may even extend to the airship, but I think it best to confine its uses to the earth, until these uses have been exhausted. "Electricity as a science should be made one of the several studies in every school in the land. It should rank with spelling and arithmetic; for, the more it is used, the more potent it becomes as an important element in all of the world's general affairs, and its value, in connection with practical business and business affairs, cannot be given too prominent a place in America's future." Indigo to bo Displaced. British manufacturers have not thought it worth while to study the pro gressive chemistry of analine or napthol dyes, says a London correspondent lo the Paris Messenger. They have been content to leave the field open to Ger many, and the result is now obvious. Time was when British aniline dyes commanded the market of the world. It is impossible to understand why that market was ever lost. Nothing but in difference can account for it, and then we have to explain the indifference, which is impossible. At any rate, the market has gone, and there i not an aniline or napthol dye used at the pres ent day which is not produced in Ger many. The industry of the manufacture of British dyes is dead, and the industry in British India of the growth of indigo will follow it. Behar and other prov inces will feel it, and it will mean the ruin of innumerable natives who have lived year year on the produce of indigo. Dyeing with indigo, however, is at best a clumsy and prolonged pro cess. It means immersions in various compounds according to the material of the fabric to be dyed. Like indigotine, the new German dye provides for a single bath. So confident are the manufacturers of the success of their product that a considerable sum has been spent on the necessary produc tive plant, and the new year will wit ness the advent of the new dye. Save as a specialty indigo will not last be yond a year or two, and then another British industry will have succumbed to German competition. 1 Bilious—Got a Cold? | 2 Yoii re bilious, got a cold, you have a throbbing sensation in your head, a bad taste in your mouth, your ® eyes burn, your skin is yellow with dark rings under your eyes, your lips are parched and you feel ugly and © SW mean as if you wanted to kick a lame infant or kill a canary bird.

It en riches the blood and gives it a healthy circulation, thus putting new life into the entire body. Strength to overcome the general discouragement is followed by the ambition to be well.
