Rest in a Rocker.

In his book on Jonathan and His CONT
nent," Max O'Rell describes how Americans
enjoy themselves at the winter resorts Iii the
south. He tells somewhat derisively of how
they get up and breakfast and then sit on
rocking chairs on the piazzas and wait for
lunch time-then to rocking chairs again,
where they wait for dinner-after dinner
rocking chairs again until bedtime This is
a good deal the style of it in the southern re-
Sorts but the rather dull Frenchman seems
to think they would be better engaged in pic
MICS and excursions and fishing or going
about, but if he had known Americans bet
ter he would know that to many a rocking
chair, on piazza with the pleasures of fresh
air, warm sunshine, peaceful quiet and books
and papers is picnic enough; that to go he'll
terskeltering over the country in pursuit of
pleasure and excitement is not the American
idea of rest.
After the whirl and excitement and mad
ding crowd of city life, nothing for a time is
moro restfully blissful under southern suns
than rocking chair on piazza, where the
gay and giddy world can be seen passing as
in panorama before those who find in the
sky and air and breeze and balm of flowers
the rest they crave and love. The French
idea of holiday may be to be forever ION
the CO." or gad-rushing hither and thither-
but to the health seeker, the tired man of
business OF the run down housekeeper, pi-
azza and rocking chair and something to
read have charms beyond expression. 1t
may not be French fashion, or so English,
you know, but it shows that Americans enjoy
tho liberty of doing as they please and of
spending their holidays in most striking con-
trast to their rush of business. Aiken IS. c.

The WAY to Advertise.

Do not have half of your advertisements
blow and the balance buster. Do not allow
two display lines to come together. Have all
the sentences short
If anything has been proven over and over
again it is that there is no sther as efficient
medium for reaching the general public as
the newspaper. We do not say that this doubt
pervades the ranks of active business men to
any great extent. Evidence to the contrary
is too plentiful and conclusive.
The only proper advertising is news of the
store and that must be gathered and written
in the spirit in which the store is managed :;
but as the first requisite is attention, use all
the resources of the pleasing writer-wit
story, incident, current events, philosophy
morals-the morals of the trade Whatever
your topic, be interesting, true and non-mer-
cenary.
The retail dealer who advertises in his local
paper or papers in such manner as to make
the public believe that the goods which he
offers are worth great deal more than he
asks for them will find that many of those
who call at his store will go away without
purchasing, after having looked at the goods,
and that most of them that do purchase will
not continue to purchase with him.-Dry

Relief of Consultation.

For the immediate relief of constipation
soapsuds have until recently been the main
dependence in the way of injections Some
years ago it was discovered that glycerine
acted exceedingly well when used in that
way, and now it is rapidly displacing the
old standby. The quantity of glycerine
needed by adults to accomplish the desired
purpose is only a teaspoonful, and the most
convenient instrument to apply it with is a
small glass or rubber syringe holding about
that quantity. One-half teaspoonful is
usually quite enough for very young chill
dren. It has been recommended that in
stead of using it with the syringe, the glyce-
rine be made into one drachm suppositories
with hard CASTLE soap, in proportion of 90
per cent. of the former to 10 per cent. of
the latter. just how glycerine acts with
such good effect has never been determined.
Many theories have been advanced, but moth
ing definite is known. The remedy is per-
fectly safe one, and all needing something of
this sort are advised to try it.-Boston Her.

The Parson Was Right.

Elder Thompson, the famous Maine Uni
versalist preacher, who died some years ago,
was once asked to marry a couple whose relig-
ious views were at variance with bis own.
After the ceremony the bridegroom expressed
his entire satisfaction with the service ~
don't see," he said, ''that you could have done
it any better if you'd believed in hell" A
little theological discussion followed, in which
Elder Thompson advanced the idea that "a
man gets his he'll in this world" Two years
after Elder Thompson met the man again.
You remember you married me?" the man
said
''Yesn
''And that said hoped it would be just
as happy a marriage as if you believed in a
hells'
''You said something like that"
'And that you said some folks got all their
hell in this world.

Blonde Villains.

Who ever started the fashion of making
tie heavy villain dark proved mana or did
the world used to be different? Whenever
lie appears in drama or fiction it is with the
same black hair and fiery eyes, and yet
blonde men are quite as apt to be villains as
are brunettes The collective evidence of a
number of clever women, who had opportu-
nifty to know many men, tends to prove that
it is the blonde man against whom one should
most carefully guard. He is variable in dis
position. His seeming good nature is of that
aggravating quality which blithely ignores
argument and protest, and when he is aroused
is absolutely unreasonable and unreasoning
He is the gayest of gay deceivers, inconstant,
selfish and vindictive; he is most impas-
stoned lover and dangerous rival, and the
ONLY difference between him and the dark
haired villain is that he is so frankly wicked,
so debonnair, SO incorrigible and prone to
"bob up serenely" after every attempt to
annihilate him that we, perforce, forget his
faults and forgive his treacheries. Paul

Wasted Sympathy.

They were going through machine shop.
Enormous wheels were flying around, enor-

steel instruments were shaving sheets of

Malleable Glass.

Neri, whose book on glass was published at
Florence in 1912, says: ''In the time Of Tibe-
rius was invented way of making glass NAL
leable, a thing afterward lost and to this day
wholly unknown, for if such thing were
now known without doubt it would be more
esteemed for its beauty and incorruptibility
than silver or gold, since from glass there
ariseth neither smell nor taste, nor any other
quality" But though unknown to the old
Italian, the art was practiced in Persia, if we
may believe Bailey, who says that in 1910
Sophi, emperor of Persia, sent to King Philip
III, of Spain, six glasses that were malleable
and would not break by being hammered;
and Blacourt tells that an inventor. having
presented a bust of malleable glass to Richie
lieu. 1920, was rewarded for his ingenuity by
perpetual imprisonment, lest the vested inter-
ests of French glass workers should be injured
by the new invention. New York Telegram.

PROMISE.

The April day in gloom was dying,
The low clouds diifted black with rain,
The sobbing wind moaned sullan crying
Past ire and returned again.
Through all that day of brooding sadness,
And mourning wind and sodden Sky,
sought for some return of gladness
To glow and CLEAN and glorify.
The spashing rain held not its falling,
The ranging wind ceased not its moan,
There was no sound of sweet enthralling
AS watched weary and alonel
Yet ere the night came, slow and tender,
sudden sunrift in the gray
Had flooded all the land with splendor
RapturouS as a summer day.

Against the black clouds fleeing by
As the molding winds had swiftly blended
The rainmist with the sunlit skyl
And SO by each sore woe and signing
If we but knew and understood,
Unto the souls sad inner crying
Will come an afterward of good.
Day after day to each heart sorrow
Some comfort, wlested from its strife,
Will give promise Of the morrow
AS sign of hope and newer lifei

How Calcutta was Founded.


Since the advent of the British into
power in india the fearful rite of suffice,
which condemned to be burnt along
with her husband his widows. has been
prevented; and though, even at this
day, a Hiudostani burning is a sight by
no means pleasant, il was much more
fearful when along with the burning
dead husband were burned one or more
OF his late wives.
The first time when that sacrifice was
clearly brought home to Fnglishmen
was when Job Chsrnock, half pirate,
half -adventurer, saved the life Of a
beautiful Bengalee widow as she was
being thrust upon the burning pyre Of
her husband. Job Charnock laid the
foundation of the present capital of
India, Calcutta, and it was at its
present site where,the gallant sailor per
formed this hazardous saving feat.
