ANCESTORS BY THE BILLION.

Did you ever think how many male and
female ancestors were required to bring
you into this world? First, it was necessary
that you should have a father and mother
that makes two human beings. Each OF
them must have had a father and mother
that makes four human beings. Again, each
of them must have had a father and mother
maxi ing eight more human beings. So
we go back to the time of Jesus Christ
~ffty-six generations. The calculation thus
resulting shows that 139, 255, OF, 4S9, 534, 979
births must have taken place in order to
bring you into the world-you, who read
these lines. All this since the birth of
Christ-not since the beginning of time.
According TO Proctor, if from a single pair.
for 5000 years, each husband and wife had
married at twenty-one years of age and
there had been no deaths, the population
of the earth would be2, 100, 915followed by
IA ciphers. 1t would require to hold this
population a number of worlds the size of
this, equal to 3, 166, 526 followed by 125
ciphers. The human mind shrinks in con-
templating such immense numbers.-St.
Louis Repu6tic.

LIFE SAVING DeS.Ts.

Don't read in street cars or other iolting
vehicles.
Don't pick the teeth with pins or any
other hard substance.
Don't neglect any opportunity to insure
a variety of food.
Don't eat or drink hot or cold things inn
mediately in succession.
Don't pamper the appetite with such va
riety of food that may lead to excess.
Don't read, write OF do any delicate
work unless rece living the light from the
left side.
Don't direct special mental or physical
energies to more than eight hours work in
each day.
Don't keep the parlor lark unless you
value your carpet more than yourand your
children's health.
Don't delude youFselfinto the belief that
you are an exception as far as sleep is con-
cerned; the nominal average of sleep is
eight hours.
Don't endeavor to rest the migd by alb
solute inactivity; let it seek its rest in work
in other channels, and thus rest the tired
part Of the brain.

noTaNfsrs. Devotion TO PLANTS.

Many a romance could be written of
b~otanists in their self-denying devotion to
plants and flowers. Linnaus's life is one
of ceaseless heroism, in which his love of
plants amounted almost to a worship. His
falling down on his knees on Pntney II cath,
London, when he first saw the gorse in
bloom, and thanking God for having Great
ed so beautiful a flower, is widely known,
aud poets have Wed with each other in set
ting the incident to fitting verse. OF an
earlier botanist the same, or nearly the
same, story is told; SO that We can only
suppose that in this department of science
sentiment of a certain kind asserts itself
more readily than in some others. At all
events, the records are alive with instances
Of perseverance and devotion such as can
not be surpassed, il they can be equalled,
in other walks. When Jussieu, the fam
GUS French b0tanist, for example, was
bringing a seeding of the Lebanon cedar
from Syria to Marseilles the ship ran so
short Of water that the passengers were
limited to half 3 glass a day. Jussien
shared his half with his plant, and, thanks
to bis seIf-denial aud generous enthusiasm,
it reached Paris in safety, and lived to be
100 years old aud so feet high.

LITTLE THINGS THAT PLEASE WON.
EN-.


Such little things please women,
They are made happy by a smile and a
flower.
BY a new frock and a pleasant greeting.
By a Bit Of cake and a good cup of tea.
By a weil-ftting pair of slippers and a
handkerchief with a drop Of perfume on it.
By a string of gold beads or a new book.
By being told they look nice, and having
this accompanied by a kiss.
BY a tete-a-tete supper, or a lot of the
girls to eat ice-cream in the middle of the
day.
BY a box of candy or ten postage stamps.
By a wedding or an engagement.
By going to the matinee, or having a bit
of news that is an absolute secret told
them.
But they are happiest of all when they
can lean their heads UP against the should
er of some great big man, tell of their woes
and joys, be laughed at and kissed, be pat
ted and assured of being "a ridiculous lit
tie donkey, but after at all a pretty good
girl" That's what they like best.-Nep

MAKE LIFE'S WHEELS RCN
SMOOTHLY.

Take time; it is no use to foam or fret,
or do as the angry h~ousekeeper who has
hold of the wrong key, pushes, shakes and
rattles it about the lock until both are
broken and the door is still unopened.
The chief secret of comfort lies in not
suffering triiles to vex us and in cultivat-
ing our underground Of small pleasures.
Try to regard present vexation as you
will regard them a mouth hence.
Since we cannot get what We like let us
like what we can get.
Ii is not riches, it is not poverty, it is
human nature that is the trouble.
The world is like a looking-glass. Laugh
at it and it laughs back; frown at it and
it frowns back.
Angry thoughts canker the mind and
dispose it to the worst temper in the world,
that of fixed malice and revenge. 1t is
while in this temper that most men become
criminals.
Show your sense by saying much in .
few words.
Try to speak some kind word or do some
kind deed each day of your life. You will
be amply repaid.
Set Your work to song.

oNE 7 AT THE.

What is the secret by which you do
your work so beautifully" The questioner
held in her hand an exquisite piece of
crochet work, wrought by the lady to
whom the question was addressed.
There is no secret about it," replied
the lady. Il only make every stitch as
perfectly as | can, and am careful to put
it exactly in the right place. There isn't
one wrong or careless stitch in all that
work. If | make a mistake, | ravel it out
and correct it."
One perfect stitch at a time. So the
marvellous fabrics of lace at fabulous prices
are made. So the intricate and ex-
quisite e~mbr oideries are wrought. So the
costly garments of men and women are put
together. One perfect stitch at a timei
The noblest lives are lived-one moment
alta time. No moments wasted; no mo-
ments carelessly spent; no moments VIC
iously spent. Wrong stitches in crochet
can be raveled out, and made right. But
who can reverse the tide of time, and undo
a wrong act and make it right?
Some unknown friend left a card on my
desk, on which was printed this: 81 shall
rass through this world but orce. ANY
good thing, therefore, that I can do. or any
kindness that | can show to any human
being, let me do it, now, in His name for
His sakel Let me not defer or neglect it.
for | shall not pass this way again"
Is there a better secret than that for
making the whole fabric of life perfect?
Any good thing that | can do;'' that
covers all our duty to God and to ourselves.
.fAny kindness that I can show to
any human, being:' that covers all our du-
ty to our neighbor. Love to God and to
our neighbor is the fulfilling of the law.
One stitch at a timel Sometimes we al
low ourselves to become confused with the
thought or feeling that we have a dozen
things to do at once. But this is a mis-
take. We can do but one thing at a time,
think one thing at a time, speak one word
at a time, see one thing at a time. For
every duty really required of us We have
time given in which to do it. We NAV
pass rapidly from one task to another, We
may construct machinery by which much
of our work can be done simultaneously.
and thus multiply our executive power;
but to live two minutes at once, is some
thing no mortal can do, any more thar we
can recall one act or one moment of the
past.
'sLet US, then, be up and doing,
Heart within and God o'erhead.r

a SONG FROM THE SUBS

queen of my tub I merriiy sing,
While the white foam rises high,
And sturdily wash, and rinse, and wiring,
And fasten the clothes to dry;
Then out in the free fresh air they swing,
Underline sunny sky.
II wish we could wash from our hearts and oul
souls
The stains of the week away,
And let water and air by their magic make
Ourselves as pure rs they;
Their on the earth there would he. indeed,
a glorious w~ashing-day!
"Along the path of useful life
viii hearts-ease ever bloom;
The busy mind has no time to think
Of sorrow, or care, or gloom;
And anxious thoughts may be sweptaway
As we busily wieId a broom.
81 am glad a task to me is given
To labor at day by day;
For il brings me health, and strength, and
hope,
And ! cheerfally learn to say
Head, you may think; heart, you may feel;
But, hand, you shall work alwayi'r

II BEST WE CAN.

When things don't go to suit us
Why should we fold our hands,
And say, "No use in trying,
Fate battles all u plans
Let not your courage falter,
Keep faith ~ God and man,
And 10 this thought be steadfast-
'1'Il do the best 1 can"
II elouds blot out the sunshine
Along the way you tread,
Don't grieye in hopeless fashion
And sigh for brightness fled.
Beyond the clouds the sunlight
Shines in the Eternal Plan;
Trust that the way will brighten,
And do the best you AN.
Away with vain repinings;
Sing songs of hope and cheer,
Till many a weary eomrade
Grows strong of heart TO hear.
He who sings over trouble
Is aye the wisest man.
lie can't help what has happened,
But-does the best he can
SO ifthings wont go TO suit rs.
Let's never fume and fret,
For finding fanIt with fortune
Ne'er mended matters yet,
Make the best of whate'er happens,
Bear failure like a man:
And in good orevil fortune
Dojust the best you can.

TO JERSEY.

The American Dialect Society of Har-
ward College is striving to preserve the
dialetieal terms peculiar to the States, and
as New Jersey has received from her mixed
peoples of the earlier days a rich fund of
these idioms, Francis d. Lee, of Trenton,
a member of the society, has set about to
complete the large list which be has so far
compiled. Here are the terms and their
definitions so far collated:
spungy-South Jersey. The land be-
tween a swamp and hard ground. See
Pope.
"Apply thine engine to the spnngy
floor"
sad-sad bread is 'heagy" and a laun-
dry iron is often called a sssad-iron.n
Discomboberate-To annoy or vex.
sophisticate-To mix whiskey and wa
ter. See Ben Jonson in s'Alchemist."
"lie lets me have good tobacco, and be
does not
sophisticate it with sack lees and oil"
Qualiiy-Used like Sophisticate. See
Farquhar in "fhe Beams stratagem."
Eyeable-ComeIy.
saadie-Used by children in thanking
another for a gift. Possibly of Swedish
origin in West Jersey or Pennsylvania.

Mud Walloper-One who delights in
fishing with a seine.
Jag-A small load.
Blickie-A small bucket or tin pail.
Gulf Weather-Warm, murky. atmos-
pheric conditions.
Then there are a series of words common
to New Jersey and other States. A glance
at some notable ones will suffice:
En-Retention of the Anglo-Saxon pIur-
al housen for ''houses" ia New Jersey pull
len for hens in New England.
Gear-To harness Ofrom graith-German
gerath1, Pennsylvania as well as in New
Jersey.

confined to ones immediate family.
Lsyer-Rather. New Jersey, Pennsyl-
