"Tell me not of your doubts and dis
couragements, said Goethe; 81 have
plenty of my own. But talk to me OF
your hope and faith" The tone of COM
plaint is one which we are all too ready
to accept, and which is not only in
furious to ourselves but hurtful to all
who come in contact with us. In speak
ing of Il young woman who had filed
several good positions, but with no de-
gree of success. an elder woman said
She could have kept either position and
earned a good income if she had not
been so dissatisfied. She was continu-
ally finding fault, and never felt that
she was appreciated"
1t may be safely said that this attitude
of mind is one that almost predetermines
failure in any line of work. Patience
under adverse circumstances will often
bring about favorable results. while
complaint only accentuates and fixes the
cause of complaint. Avoid mention of
the disagreeable things that may come
into your life. If you cannot be patient
ION can at least be silent. The secret OF
success lies not so much in knowing
what to say as in what TO avoid saying.

DR.. Talmage is very vigorously in

century had not absorbed all the Won
ders of ihe ages. Jerusalem was d won
derful city, with wonderful architecture

reservoirs of Jerusalem were built with
cement as perfect today as it was when
the trowel laid it 1000 years before
Christ. Taat dentistry had reached an
advanced stage was shown by the filing
of the teeth of the mumnies at Cairo.
Solomon knew all about the circulation

Small Farms.

One of the mistakes of the times is the
popular belief that everything in bust
ness way must be big. The idea has
grown out of our haste to grow wealthy
and from superficial calculation, such as,
if one acre pays 500. 100 acres would
pay $4,000 Men seldom make such
money out Of vary large orchards, and
while a source of envy to small holders
they are often, in fact, just holding on
or are running ahead on borrowed capi-
tai. The men who make money and are
getting rich out of horticultural pursuits
are those who do not attempt more than
they can look after personally. From
ten to eighty acres are the sized tracts
which pay the highest per cent. of profit,
if they are properly conducted. The
idea that living cannot be made out Of
small place has retarded many from go
ing into a business in which they might
now be making an Independent living

The interior Of Labrador undoubtedly
is the largest unexp1ored area on this
continent. Up the Grand river, which
empties into the Atlantic ocean at Ham
ilton inlet, are the Grand falls, which,
if everything is true about them that is
reported, are the most stupendous falls
in the world. They are only about 160
miles up the river, but only two white
men have ever seen them. Mr.. r. T.
Holme three years ago went from Eng
land to visit the Grand falls.
He organized a little party TO accom-
pany him inland, and arrived within
about fifty miles of the falls, when he
was compelled to return Oh account Of
the failure Of his provisions. The Labra-
dor Indians say these falls are haunted,
and they carefully avoid them, believing
that they will die if they look upon
them. The two white men who have
seen them are Mr.. Maclean, who, as he
was ascending the river in 1889, was
stopped by the falls, and Mr.. Kennedy,
who over thirty years ago had charge Of
Hudson Bay post, in Labrador. Mr..
Holne says the height of the falls is not
certainly known, but in some respects
there is little doubt they are the greatest
in the world. Geographi-

window Curtain Sales Decreasing.

A clerk in one of the New York dry
goods stores says that the demand for
rich curtains for windows has fallen off
of late because so many wealthy fam
lilies have gone in for the craze of having
coats-of-arms and other heraldic devices
worked in on the hangings of their win
dows. Some two or three swell shops
on Fifth avenue introduced the hobby,
and have done fairly large business.
These particular firms supply draperies

Rousseau the Landscape Painter.

As we stand before great landscape
by Rousseau like the 'sRavines of Apre-
mont" lately in the collection of NJ.
Marmontel, or of the s'Hoar Frost, - in
that of Mr.. Walters Mt Baltimore, one
must call up a powerfully built man of
middle size with full brown beard;
wide, high forehead, which his friends
declared Olympian; shapely, straight
nose; hair worn rather long, after the
fashion of forty years ago; direct impid
gaze from eyes of unusual largeness and
grayish blue In color, and mouth whose
lines indicate the absorbed man and the
reticent. Hcwas an extremely thought
full man. not by any means smileless and
the furthest remove from stupid; he
was one Of those who are hard TO win
for a friend, but once friend, eminent
ly the person with whom to pass weeks
in the pursuit of a worthy study. There
is the sympathetic man who talks. and
the sympathetic man who IS silent.
Rousseau was the latter. Yet he could
talk, and talk well, on nature, art and
music, and he wrote charming letter.
