DIGNITY OR LowLY WORK.

A Lesson, Lord, those eighteen years to me;
Not elsewhere l could so divinely learn
That humble tasks are best, howe'er yearn
For higher spheres where may work more
free.
Blest were those patient toiling years to
Thee,
Their secret kept within Thy lonely heart,
While Thou vast trained by daily skill of
art
To build new world for human destiny.
Thy Future was the Now Twas from its

Thine eye read meanings in the passing day.

The Pin as a Life Saver.

An exchange says that Western SEN
ator in his school days was slightly def
cient in literary composition. The
teacher adopted a rule requiring all the
pupils to write a composition every Fri
day. The future Senator had been de-
ticient in this respect, persistently re-
lusing to write essays. One day his
teacher determined to "keep him in"
until he produced a composition. He
was given thirty minutes after school to
complete the task, being permitted to
select his own subject. At the end of
thirty minutes he produced the follow
ing: "The pin; The pin is Il very useful
article. 1t has saved the lives of many
men, women and children, J. A. L."
The teacher was pleased with the result,
but was anxious to know how the pin
had saved the lives of so many men,
women and children. "Why," said lit
tie Johnny, "by not swollerin' EN-"

HEALTH HINTS.

DR.. Felix Oswald prescribes fasting
for rheumatism
Hot soda biscuit is one of the most in
furious kinds of food.
Never pick a blister with a pin. A
needle is the only suitable thing.
Lime juice and milk is one OF the best
remedies for dyspepsia or indigestion.
A good gargie for a sore throat is made
of vinegar and little red pepper mixed
with water
Do not drink strong coffee just before
retiring, or in the evening at all. 1t is
apt to cause sleeplessness.
Oatmeal porridge is one of the best
things to begin the day with. Those
who dislike it should take it as medi-
cine.
Coffee or tea should never be given to
children at night. They disturb the
nerve system and make children cross
and peevish.
Halrs Journal Of Health says the worst
cold may be cured if the patient will,
soon after taking it, keep warm in bed
and eat nothing for a day or two.

WISE WORDS.

All that is best IN the great poets of all
countries is not what is national but what
is universal.
There is no dispute managed without
passion. and yet there is scarce dispute
worth a passion.
The actions of men are like an index
of a book; they point out what is most
remarkable in them.
We should often have reason to be
ashamed of our most brilliant actions if
the world could see the motives from
which they spring.
Every mans experiences of to-day is
that he was fool yesterday and the day
before yesterday. Tomorrow he will
most likely be of exactly the same
opinion.
Honest good humor is the oil and wine
of merry meeting, and there is no jovial
companionship equal to that where the
Jokes are rather small and the laughter
abundant.
The world deals good-naturedly with
good natured people; and | never knew
a sulky misanthropist who quarreltd
with it, but it was he, and not it, that
was in the wrong.
If, in nstructing a child, you are vexed
with it for want of adroitness, try, if you
have never tried it before, to write with
your left hand, and then remember that
child is all left hand.
The difficulties of educati ion lie deeper
down than the curriculum. 1t is not so
much finding out what to teach that is
needful; the all-important thing is how
to develop the mental and moral ener-
gies.
Speaking truth is like writing fair,
and comes only by practice; it is less a
matter of will than of habit; and doubt
if any occasion can be trivial which per
mits the practice and 70 nation of such
habit.
Enthusiasm is the glow of the soul
enthusiasm is the lever by which men are
raised above the average level and enter
prise, and become capable of a goodness
and benevolence which, but for it., would
be quite impossible.
Bring up your children to joy. Give
them just as much as they can take with
out intoxcation and without reaction. Il
you take too much of any one essential
you cheat some other. Equipoise of the
various elements of our being is what VIZ

Rough on the Cat.

Some animals, as a class, are noted for
special vices, and some individuals, no
matter of what class, have individual
and private vices of their own. Dogs,
as class, are quarrelsome, peacocks are
proud, mules are reckless, hogs are glut-
tonous, foxes are tricky, opossums lie,
crows steal, cats are cruel and selfish,
never doing anything out of love for
their masters. When they catch mice,
or play, even, they do it not as a benefit
to us, but for their own appetite or
amusement. They do not, like the dog,
make sacrifices for men, and have neither
faithfulness nor gratitude. While dog
watching a piece of meat will starve
rather than eat it, q cat will steal or lick
it when not hungry. Like the tiger,
which it resembles, it cannot be tanned
or manufactured, whereas a dog, like
lion, his prototype can be. The cat, as
a class, is about the meanest or morally
most wicked of animals, without one re-
deeming feature except cleanliness.

A scene of awe and glory:
1t was not caused by fear or fright.
1t was not caused by fancies light,
Nor is't made-up story.
drcamt was in spirit land,
And saw the sons of men
Walk in procession, great and grand,
In numbers like the ocean sand,
Ten thousand multiplied by ten.
They came from cities far and wide.
And went to view their rest:
They came as comes the rolling tide,
The saint and sinner side by side.
Expecting to be blest.
But Peter stopped them at the gate,
As summers stopped by winter,
And here he held to each his fate,
He made him this in clearness state:
If he had paid the printer,
And those who had he let pass in,
But thrust the others back,
And gave them each warning grin,
And smiled at those who thus could sin.
And shook his head. alas alack
And when saw them doleful stand,
AS shut in freezing winter,

In tones thought superbly grand,

To warn you folks before too late.
TO shun their sad and evil fate.
And up and pay your printer!

the HOUSE OF ORLEANS.
BY GEORGE MAKEPEACE
TOWI1E.

TOWLE.
By the death of the Count
de Chambord, in the autumn,
the elder branch of the French
Bourbon line became extinct.
He was the last descendant of
Louis XIV. who could lay
claim to the French throne.
Don Carlos Of Spain is also a
descendant, indeed, of the
Grand Monarque but by the
acceptance of his ancestor,
Philip of Anjou, of the Throne
of Spain, he is debarred from
any right to French sover-
eighty.
The next heir of the house
of Bourbon is the Count Of
Paris, the head of the family
of Orleans, and he, as a fact,
has succeeded to the leader
ship of the new united French
monarchists.
The Count of Paris is the
lineal descendant and repre-
sentative of Philip, Duke of
Orleans, the second son of
Louis Kill, and the younger
brother of Louis XIV. He
was, therefore, a cousin, far
removed, of the late Count of
Chambord. The Orleans
family, from Philip, the fiist
duke, to the Count of Paris,
has played a conspicuous part
in French history during the
past two centuries. Philip,
the second duke, and son of
the founder of the family,
was the famous regent during
the minority of Louis XIV.
He COVE. ned France for many
years, and was principally
noted for his dissolute char
acler and easy-soing luxu-
rious disposition. The regent
did much, by the scandalous
acts of his rule, to hasten
France on to the path Of
revolution.
The regents son, Louis,
the third Duke of Orleans,
was a man of far different
mould. He seems to have
avoided sedulously the ex-
ample of his carousing father.
He was a recluse and scholar.
He loved solitude and books.
He was a rare linguist, and
dabbled somewhat in the
sciences and in philosophy.
His eldest son, Louis Philip,
who succeeded him in the
dukedom, presented yet
another contrast of taste and
character. He was q bluff

did good services in the
Flemish wars, and aided in
shedding some military luster
on the throne of his cousin,
Louis XIV.
But the most notorious, if
not the most illdstrious, of the
Orleans princes was the son
and heir of tbis warrior duke.

CURED by the Orleans family
early in the last century.
The Palais Royal, at the
outbrake of the Revolution,
was Il center of intrigue,
plotting and ambition, as it
had been, just before, of bois-
ferrous orgies and reckless
carnival. "Egalite'' at first
hoped chat the Revolution,
displacing Louis XVI. from
the throne, might lift himself
to the summit of regal power.
But as the Revolution waXed
in violence and Republican
frenzy, he saw that hope
vanish; and then he became
afraid of losing his head, He
turned on The king, his cousin /;
voted in favor of Louis eX-
ecution, and declared himself
an ultra Republican. But
even all this did not save the
ambitious and treacherous
duke. The Republican chiefs
all along suspected him. He
was, after all, of the blood
royal. His death was there
fore decreed; and he follwed
the cousin whom he had be-
trayed to the scaffold.
His son, Louis Philippe,
became a wanderer on the
face of the earth. He taught
school in America, and was
often at his Wits end to make
both ends meet. Yet, he
lived to reign, for eighteen
years, as king of the French.
The second revolution-that

Philippe of Orleans was

Two MILLIONS LOST.

The postal money-order system was
established seventeen years ago by an
act of Congress, and its devisers claimed
that it was the cheapest, safest and
speediest method of transmitting money
ever invented. However, the weak
point in the system is illustrated by the
large amount of money deposited in the
postofices all over the Union, and,
through one blunder Or another, never
paid to the persons who ought to have
received it. The postoffice in New York
is the general headquarters of the sys-
TEN, and there is now unclaimed at the
disposal of this Office 81, 1926, 497. 49.
Which is the result of seventeen years
accumulation. All of the money un-
claimed in the postofices all through
the country is sent to the New York
pJstoffice.
This accumulation Of nearly $2,000,-
coo is largely due to the miscarriage in
sending orders, or to their loss by the
sender or payee. Many Of the lost OR
miscarried orders might have been paid
if the payee or remitter had applied to
lis Postmaster for a duplicate order.
Perhaps it has been through ignorance.
perhaps through carelessness, that this
has not been done, but usually the re-
mitter appears to suppose that the
payee has received his money, and, on
tn ether hand, the payee thinks it has

WHAT rs DONE WITH ALL THE II-
SENIC.

Committees Of experts tell OF adul-
teration in food that is simply appall-
ing. We're the ingredients which are
mixed with food innocuous it would still
be very great hardship but when it is
known that the most violent poisons are
employed, it is a marvel that the whole
country does not rise up and put stop
to such practices and punish all dealers
who sell poisonous articles Of food. Ii
confirmation of these startling state
ments were needed one has only to read
the facts recently brought to light in
Chicago, where it is impossible to find
pure sugar and where not 10 per cent.
of the milk is good. In that city the
bread, without exception, is poisonous,
the teas were never imported, but are
made of leaves "faced" with Prussian
blue and chromate Of lead. Seventy-five
per cent. of the cream Of tartar is white
earth, and the coffee is coated with
lamp-black. But Chicago is no worse
than other cities. Baking-powdeFs are
largely composed of alum. Picking
fluid is diluted with sulphuric acid, alum
and verdigris, to give it a peculiar flavor.
The manufacture of o great deal of our
confectionery should be punished as a
crime, for much of the candy sold to
children is simply lump of white earth,
made attractive to the eye with arsenical
paint and sweetened with glucose. Cost
ly spices are counterfeited in o terribly
grotesque manner, the favoring being
given by the rankest poisons. In these
and other authorizations arsenic plays the
largest part. We import annually
100000 pounds of this deadly poison
i cents worth Of which would kill
$500 people-and the bulk Of this JIM
port is used in the preparation of food
and clothing.-F0od and Heath.
