secret of Being Charming to Others.
The world today is filed with half
morbid young people wishing they only
knew how to make themselves more in
teresting and attractive to others. 1t is
not desire to be blamed, but one to be
encouraged. The only trouble is that
they get their attention concentrated on
themselves, and the more they think Of
themselves the less do people want to
look at the object they propose shall be
attractive No one ever fails to be de-
lighted with a person who, having spent
several summers in some enchanting
spot in the mountains, takes in hand
him, stranger there, and leads him to
the most poetic cascades or the sublimest
points Of outlook the whole region offers.
Here, then, lies the secret of proving
charming TO others. Ii is by serving as
guide and interpreter TO something more
inspiring than would be either of the two
left to himself, and so bringing ON an
experience in which each loses his mere
individual life to find it in fuller uni
versal life. Boston Herald.

DisCOrd in the Choir.

Drilling volunteer choir,H the most
exasperating work ever undertaken .by
a human being. In the first place it Is
morally certain that at least half a dozen
members think they know more than
the leader, and two or three are al
ways better informed than the man who
wrote the music, so they offer, with
cheerful alacrity, the most idiotA sug-
gestions as to the manner in which it
should be performed, and feel much ag-
grieved If their ideas are not acted on.
Then the women are always either
so devoted to each other that they keep
up constant chatter when they should
be singing or listening to the leaders d.
rection, or are quarreling and ''put each
other out"
They are not responsible for all the
trouble, but when they do quarrel they
generally manage to enlist the men in
the service of both sides, and the first
thing the leader knows one half his
choir has quit and the other half is about
to do 80 because they are not numerous
enough to make creditable chorus. A
choir leader says: Il have gone into
church on Sunday morning and found
six or eight members sitting in the con-
gregation, instead of in their places,
and the rest glazing at them from the
organ stand. 1t is fun for them and for
the people, but it's death to the leader"

Ineffective Drugs.

1T is a great pity that physicians so
rarely keep their own supplies of staple
drugs" remarked venerable disciple Of
Hippocrates. "Some country physicians
do, but in the city the practice is fast
dying out. Yet the great majority Of
the vegetable extracts on the shelves Of
apothecaries' shops are unreliable in
their quality. The herbs used are not
collected at the right season of the year,
and are not properly cured, the strength
varying according to the differences of
the soil and climate where the plants
grow.
vegetable remedies are easily adul-
terated, and they are usually prepared
by men who lack the knowledge re-
quired for proper selection, manipula-
ton and manufacture. Light, heat and
atmosphere all bring about chemical
changes, and in the course of time the
druggists preparations, even if originally
good, become inert and worthless. Let
the pharmacist be ever so capable, he
cannot PROFOUND good prescription if
he uses worthless crude drugs.
"The druggist and pharmacist make
their preparations to sell, while the ply
stefan who makes his own medicines ex-
ercises the care required to produce the
proper effects. It is to the impurity and
inertness of the materials furnished for
prescriptions that much of the disap-
pointment of physicians in the results of
the treatment is attributable. Fall

A Smart Detective.

Sergeant Moser on one occasion saw a
waiter in cafe at Soho receive and
place in his pocket letter which the de-
tective believed to be from criminal a
knowledge Of whose whereabouts he was
anxious to obtain. He therefore drop
ped his ring on the floor and asked the
man to look for it. Alphonse, expecting
a reward, Immediately went ON his
hands and knees, aid while thus en-
gagged Sergeant Moser distracted the let
ter from his pocket and thus obtained
the means of bringing a forger to JUS
tice. Who can doubt that this was a
perfectly justiiable act? Buff, instead,
Sergeant Moser had suborned another
person to steal for reward, and without
telling him the object in view, he would
most assuredly have acted very wrongly.

A Chemical Lung.

A "chemical lung" is the latest thing
proposed for the ventilation of tunnels.
It was lately tested in London by four
teen scientists. A room Is by 10 was
kept for an hour at temperature of 80
degs., and the air was loaded with
impurities. The men of science were
now called upon to enter. and the air
was made still more impure by burning
sulphur and carbonic acid gas Then
the chemical lung" or punkah, so
called. measuring by 2.6, was set In
motion.
The temperature was soon reduced to
IS degs., and the air freed from all
impurities. Then fat was burned, to
test the machine for organic substances,
and the "lung" was started up just in
time to prevent the examining gentle
men from running out for fresh air. It
is proposed to use the invention during
the construction of the channel tunnel.

Congress Caters and Drowning,

Speaking of congress CATERS and
drowning recalls fashionable middle
aged physician who thoroughly believes
in this fatality. He gave it away in this
wise: While consulting man in deli
cate health about his care for himself in
the winter time the doctor said: "What
kind Of shoes have you got on?' They
proved to be the fatal congress CATERS,
and the doctor objected. "Did you ever
see an account of drowned man found
in the bay that didn't say he had on con-
gress CATERS? You laugh and say that
doesn't make any difference, and there
is no connection of cause and effect.
"How do you know there isn't? You
can't trace it, but I'm not certain that
congress CATERS do not tend to such
moral and physical degeneracy that a
man is liable to fall off a ferry boat, or
in fit Of dependency to jump into the
river. At any rate | don't wear them.

A Berth in Heaven for Sale.

When Thomas Cruise, the bonanza
king, made the famous sale of the Drum
Lummon the news went all over the
country. For man to jump from pow
cry to millionaire's afiuence almost in
day was an unusual thing even in a
mining centre. The result was stream
of letters to Mr.. Cruise from cranks of all
sorts. He remembers one of them par
ticularly. It was from a minister in
Washington. He announced that he had
by some unknown means secured good
berth in heaven, the value of which was
beyond estimate.
It was "sure thing" and the minis
ter was willing to make an affidavit to
its existence. He had heard of Mr..
C1use's sudden rise to wealth, and
thought an opportunity was offered for
a fair exchange. He was not entirely
willing to relinquish his claim on the
future snap, but he offered to give half
the berth if Mr.. Cruise would in return
send his check for half his fortune. Mr..
Cruise decided that as matters looked
then the minister would get the best of
the bargain, and he declined to consider
the offer.-Helena Mont. Independent.

In the Clouds.

Professor Moller, of Carlsruhe, has
made some interesting observations on
clouds. The highest clouds, cirrus and
cirro-stratus, rise on an average to a
height of nearly 10000 feet. The mid
die clouds keep at from 10000 feet to
$4,000 feet in height, while the lower
clouds reach to between 5000 feet and
1000 feet. The cumulus clouds float
with their lower surface at height Of
from 1000 to 5000 feet, while their
SUBMITS rise to 1900 feet. The tops Of
the Alps are often hidden by clouds of
the third class, but the bottoms of the
clouds of the second class, and espe
cially of the thunder clouds, often enfold
them.
The vertical dimension of cloud OBJ
served by Professor Moller on the Netle-
berg was over 1900 feet. He stepped
out of it at height of about 3,700 feet,
and high above the mountain foated
clouds of the middle class, while wells of
mist lay in the ravines and clefts. The
upper clouds were growing thicker.
while the lower ones were dissolving,
and soon it began to rain and snow

The Return to the Pine.

A Madison street cigar man is author
ity for the statement that the better class
of smokers is returning to the pipe for
comfort. This is not only shown by the
demand for such goods, but by the nov
elites that are being gotten out by French
factories as well as those in America.
"There is no use Of an American shut
ting his eyes to it. The French still lead
in everything that 10 novel and artistic,
and we follow. Here is a French nov
city in the pipe line. It is leather case.
It contains four French sweet briar
pipes. You see the variety of stems and
mouthpieces. It reminds you maybe
of fine fishing tackle. You can have
your stems long or short. You can have
them straight or crooked. The artistic
smoker doesn't confne himself to one
pipe.
He takes one of these, for instance,
and smokes it one evening with long
stem. He takes another the next even
ing with short stem, and so on. You
will notice, too, that by curious az
rangement these stems ara so construct
ed that it is impossible for the smallest
particle of nicotine to reach the lips Of
the smoker. The outfit I show you costs
$50. Then there are others that contain
fewer pipes, and some contain but one
with different stems. Chicago Tribune.

The Swallows Are Wrong.

The British glowworm is steadily de-
creasing in numbers, and entomologists
fear that it will become extinct as well
as extinguished. This is due to the reck-
less system Of nest lighting practiced by
swallows. These ingenious birds fasten
glowworms to the sides of their nests,
but inasmuch as the glowworm resents
this liberty by an early death it takes
an enormous quantity of glowworms to
light one fashionable nest during the
season.
The members of the British associa-
ton archaeological section) are discuss
ing the possibility of inducing the swal-
lows to light their nests with electricity
derived from the backs of British cats,
but if the birds decline to adopt the
electric highland it is only too proba-
BILE that they will decline he early ex-
tirpation of the glowworm seems to be
q melancholy certainty.-Paris Herald.
