Is THE mind ponderable or an imponder-

felt, or withheld?
Man thinks, studies, invents tires the brain
by overwofk, and loses his reason; rests his in

again thinks.
When we reflect that power of endurance
can be impaired to the brain, and that weak
minds have been restored to strength by Fell

cannot but conclude that the subtle power is

THE origin of the popular saying: 'Those
who live in glass houses shouldn't throw
stones," is inserestmg. AT the union of En-
gland and Scotland lin 1907, we believe),
great numbers of Scotchmen focked to Lon
don. Buckingham hated the Scotch bitterly,
and encouraged marauders to break the win
dows of houses occupied by them. Some of
the sufferers retaliated by breaking the win
dows of the dukes house, which had so many
that it was called the "Glass house." The
duke complained to the king, and the mon
arch replied: "Ah, Steenie, Steeniel those
wha live in glass housen' should be careful
how they fling stanes."

THE THERMoMETER.-A the curses of all
time are not too many to be heaped upon the
head OF the wretch who invented the tber-
mometer.
Hall OF the year we worry because the
thermometer is too low, the other half he
cause it is too high, the rest of the wear be-
cause one can never tell whether it's going to
be one way or the other.
The bother of it all is that the man in
vented such long thermometer. If he had
made it only from forty to seventy degrees.
we should never have been troubled by its be-
ing below zero or above blood heat.
For now that the thing is invented there il
no use in cutting it shorter; other people ariH
persist in keeping whole ones and telling Won
that it's ninety-four in the shade.
And it makes ones blood boil!
1t would be a great blessing if Mr. Berch
would organize a Society for the Prevention
OF thermometers to Animals Or perhaps
his present organization wouldn't object to
adding this specially to its brief name.
But II we had no thermometers we should
have no ice water, because ice doesn't freeze
no, water doesn't freeze-except the ther-
mometer is below freezing point, and how
could it go below zero if there wasn't any?
Like all things in life, there are two sides
or two ends-to the thermometer.
Unfortunately we are at the wrong end
just now-but "keep COOL" and by and by it

The Milwaukee Sentinel having said, 'Let

OF nation is to be found in the education
and elevation of its laborers," the Chicago
Tribune responded by saying, 'Now let labor
ing men turn down page So of "The National
Fourth Reader" and find the very same ex-
preston credited to Burke" This was such
cute reply that the Democratic press every
where is giving it currency; but the Tribune
has fooled them to the top of their bent, for
no such expression occurs in the "Fourth
National Reader" credited to Burke nor to
any body else, In fact, there is MT a senti-
ment of any kind imputed to Burke to be
found in that book

Mr.. HENRY BERGH has protested against
muzzling dogs in this terrible weather. Mr..
Bergh is right. The muzzle is cruel in
strument at such times, for dogs can only per-
spire through the open mouth. 1t is relic
OF the old superstition, now happily almost
abandoned, that hydrophobia is caused by the
heat, whereas careful observation by the vet
Urinary surgeons Of France, and other COM
petent authorities, proves that canine mad
ness is most prevalent not in the hottest but
in the wettest seasons, and the summer
months are just the period of the year when
it is least common. From the records kept
at the famous veterinary school of Abort,
near Paris, it appears that twice or three
times as many cases occur in April, Noyem-
ber, and December, as in June, July, and
August.-N, Y. Tribune.

speed OF thirty-five miles an hour. Tn a

was dashing by he sprung upon it and sue
