A Bare.FOOted Groom.

About twenty years ago a young fell
low named Johnson, in the wilds of the
Cheat Mountains in West Virginia,
made up his mind to be married. :
"But you have not penny" re-
monstrated his friends.
81 have my hands. A man was
given two handsome to scratch for
himself, the other for his wife, he
said.
On the day of the Wedding johnson
appeared in whole coat and trowsers,
but bare-footed.
"This is hardly decent" said the
clergyman. 81 will lend you a pair of
shoes"
"No," said johnson, "when I can
fore"
And he stood up to be married with
out any thought of his feet.
The same sturdy conduct showed it.
self in his future course. What he had
not money to pay for, he did without.
He hired himself to farmer for years
work. With the money he saved he
bought pair of sheep, built himself a
hut, and went to work on his ground.
His sheep increased. As time few by
he bought more; than he sold off the
cheaper kinds, and invested in South
down and French Merino. His neigh
bors tried by turns raising cattle, horses,
or gave their attention to experimental
farming.
johnson having once found that
sheep raising in his district brought a
handsome profit, stuck to it. He had
that shrewdness in seeing the best way,
and that dogged persistence in fol-
lowing it, which are the surest elements
of success.
|, Stock-buyers from the Eastern. mar
kets found that Johnson's feeces were
the finest and his mutton the sweetest
on the Cheat. He never allowed their
reputation to fail-the end of which
course is, the man who married bare
footed is now worth large property.
The story is an absolutely true one,
and may point moral for the hordes
of stout, able-bodied men who crowd
the cities complaining that they must
starve for want of work.

More than this, l can by going into a

those who were last in it were sad or

has developed from the diagnosis down
to the practical matter of the noses as the
organ Of smell and he shows how diff
ferent odors produce different emotions
and aspirations OF the soul-im pulses to-
ward love, hate, laughter, grief, relig-
ion, trade, patriotism, or dinner. Thus
through the nose we may mold the char
acter and reach the soul. DR.. jaeger

The Increase in Population.

The official Board of Statistics at St.
Petersburg has published some popula-
ton figures, from which it appears that
in European Russia there are annually
born, 1,6l9,I0S males and 1,544, 297 fe-
males, or an average total of 3 3,163 ,4O5
children of both sexes. On the other
hand, the average annual deaths are
1,214,467 males and ], ,167, 1929 females,
or a total of 2, 1882 396 persons of both
sexes. The population, therefore, shows
an average increase of 7Sl 900 a year-a
percentage which, supposing the in
habitants always to multiply at the
same rate, would double the population
in So years; whereas in Sweden, accord
ing to similar method of calculation,
this result would only be attained in 81
years, in Germany in 6S, in Belgium in
70, in Austria IN 90, in Switzerland in
80, and in France in 165 years. The
high percentage of morality in Russia
is chiefly caused by the numerous
deaths among children, more than the
fourth part Of whom perish before they
are a year old; whereas in Prussia, Of
1000 infants only l65, and in England
still fewer, 14O, die before that age.
Measles, scarla,ina, and diphtheria, says
the Nopoye Tremya, are making ravages
among children in the capital, and in
certain districts of the empire the danger
is so great that several colleges and in.
FAINT schools have been closed.

A Performance that Was a Reality.

A Cincinnati family were discussing
at dinner some marvellous tricks which
they had seen sleight-of-hand man per-
form on the previous night, The feat
that Interested the wife was thatsof tho
beheading of the woman, which the Pro-
fessor was accustomed to do with big
knife in full view of his admiring audi
ence. To the husband, on the contrary,
the trick was as plain as daylight, and
he playfully proceeded to show how it
could be done. A large meat knife lay
on the table, and, taking firmly hold OF
bis wife's, scalp, he drew the edge of the
knife across her throat. II was done In
the most playful way. and all for run,
but there were serious consequences.
The knife was sharp, and a deep cash
was made several inches in length. As
soon ~ the family could recover from
their CONSERVATION at the sight of blood,
messenger was sent for a physician,
who, with some difficulty. sewed up the
wound. The woman will recover, but
will always have deep scar to remind
her of her morbid curiosity.
