In our healthier and better mo-
ments we know that pessimism is
all wrong; that the world is better
than it seems; that, at bottom, how
the world shall look to as depends,
not so much on how it is, as on the
kind of glasses our passing moods
put upon our eyes. But the best
cure against the dreary lack of faith
in the goodness of men, against
paralyzing pessimism, is love. Love
men, and you shall know them
know them, and you shall have faith
in them.--Pdain.

There is n popular notion, chiefly among

As Il matter Of fact the average winter
temperature has not gone below its mean

four years. The same general statement
may be made in regard to summer tenn
perature during the same time, the
average mean of each year varying
through a very narrow range during the
long period above mentioned. 1t is the
habit Of mankind to regard everything as
phenomenal that appeals strongly to the

Curiosity of the Chinese.

inevitable bowls of rice soup. Sometimes

become the center of wondering gathering
of housewives with babies and older children
They take greater interest in myself than
they do in the bicycle, and examine with
true feminine criticism, the texture of my
clothes.
Everything the Chinese themselves wear
is either cotton or silk, and the fact of my
clothes being woolen affords material for
much wonderment and speculation. These
inquiSitive DANES handle me pretty much
as though they were examining the merits of a
roll of calico, or life size rubber doll; they
touch my face, lift my helmet to show one
another my hair, pinch me on the arms and
legs, count my fingers and otherwise make
themselves familiar, and at home, so to
speak, with my figure. This, of course,
is rather trying TO naturally ditfident per-
son of the opposite sex; my bashfulnesS, at

The basis of calculation between cause
and chance is to be reckOned, so far as
mathematics can HLurr out result, upon
data like the following: The rules being,
OF course, the recognized mathematical
ones that the chance of the concurrence of
two independent events is the product of
their separate probabilities. We know
there is more or less frequency of recur
renee than fixed average; then, for o.
against the probability, there is some
cause at work. The chance of one or the
other of two phenomena occurring, when
two cannot occur, is the sum of their
different probabilities. For instance "In
the fall OF 1885," says Mr.. }. w. Ames,
suffered intensely with what the doctors
called sciatic rheumatism, and was help
less. Tried everything to no purpose
She wanted to try St. Jacobs Oil, but the
doctors said no. but got it. tried it. and
It stopped the pam she improved and in
short time She had no use for crutches.
No return of pain in seven years" Mr.
W. W Iaii' AudiilH Express Co., btOOh-
lyn, \. Y, was cured of sciatic rheuma-
tism by St. Jacob, Oh, and writes under
date OF May 5, 1887: Il am still of the
same opinion of Its curative qualities for
sciatic rheumatism"
The probability of st. Jacobs Oil curing
every time is reckOned upon known facts.
Out of the twenty million bottles sold, not
one in ten thousand ever fails to relieve all
ailments for which it is a specific; the
chance against the probability is so slight
there must be some cause, and the cause is
found to be that it is not properly applied
or not taken in time. The chances are so
overwhelmingly III its favor that the mar
velous cures wrought by it are the offset to
the few cases wherein it fails, and are
proofs that where properly used it will
cure and never fails.
