The STYLES in Pill Boxes.

Did YOU know that styles in pill boxes
change almost as often as modes OF wo.
mems gownsa NOT Well they do, and
the maker of pill boxes has to keep NOV
ing to be with the times. Otherwise ne
will lose custom. Druggists and mu'
sicians are cranky people anyway, but
in the matter of pill boxes the former
are really exasperating IN their demands.
You would naturally think that it
wouldn't make any difference just how a
box was shaped or what color OF paper
was used so long as a box was neat,
would you2 Well, 1t makes all the dill
ference in the world. Some druggists
won't use round boxes at all, Others
won't buy square ones or oval.shaped
ones, and some of them want theirs red
colored, or blue, or green, or white.
Most of them don't know what they
want except that you haven't got it: 1t
isn't so much the fault Of the druggist as
of his customers. Druggists tell me that
their customers are as cranky about pill
boxes as they are about corn cure. They
want only one sort, and won't buy from
any place where they can't get 1t. we
manufacture pill boxes by the million,
and sell them in lots of from 1000 to l.
GOO. 900. About 250, 600 pill boxes Ore
used in this country every day. These
cover at least $25O0 worth OF pills,
counting quinine and every other Sort
so YOU see the pill box industry is an
important one. Over ten big firms
manufacture them.-&. Louis Gto6i

Plant Life Amid Glssiers.

A correspondent Of tho Philadelphis
Public Ledger gives reasons for his
belief that the general opinion regarding
the utter destruction Of vegetable life
BY the advance of a glacier is erroneous.
He believes that plants will exist in >
state Of rest under all leo sheet for
possibly centuries, and push up a.
Vigorous as evor, when the glacier
recedes. He notes tho statement Of
Kotzebue that a peninsula near Pyramid
Harbor in Alaska, was wholly covered
BY ice $50 years ago, and lad no doubt
been in that condition for ages. The ica
has now rcccdcd some fifty miles, and
the author made large collections OF
of plants there. Unquestionably, some
would have been brought doxa with
the glacial flow, and. on thawing, leave
the plants to grow there; but he gives
reasons for his faith that all could not
have been brought in that way, and con-
CLUBS that it Is just as likely that tine
plants remained for years safe under the
ice.fos that covered them.-M1 York

THOSE who believe In the existence
of such a disease as hydrophobia will
be interested in the minute directions
of it's treatment which are given In
a recent number of a Chinese medical
journal. "The presence of the disease
having been ascertained," the author
ity in question observes, "the next
step to be taken, and one which Is Of
prime importance, is to search the
hair of the patient. There will GER
tainly be found one hair Of the color
Of vermilion, rather stronger and
coarser than the ordinary hairs. This
must be entirely pulled out, not even
the smallest part Of the root to be
left, since otherwise the disease can.
not be cured" If it could be firmly
fixed in the minds Of people in gene
raj that if the vermilion hair afore-
said were not to be found it may be
safely taken for granted that the
disease is not hydrophobia, it would
be an excellent thing.

Army Swimming Exercises.

While the swimming service In the
German Army is obligatory on the plon-
GERS, and lately also on the cavalry, it IS
optional with the members of the other
departments of the army, and the fact
that the annual subscription list is always
more than full is a pleasant indication OF
the love of sports among our "Blue
Boys" Many an enthusiastic admirer
of Neptune must, to his great sorrow,
be turned away on account OF the great
number of applicants.
The instruction is given, under the
direction of ~lieutenants, by under off,
GERS. It begins with the regular prac.
tice Of the swimming strokes, the pupil
being supported meanwhile by the 30
called Fishing rod" When he has
learned the movements well enough to
be able to support himself above the
water, he begins to swim on a loose line.
At this stageit is often found that those
for whom the higest hopes had been n
tertained lack one quality that is indis-
pensible for a good swimming; we mean
that Olympic calm without which tho
most carefully acquired knowledge OF
the strokes is useless. When the pupil
is able to keep himself IN the surface
safely and quietly, he must 60 into the
water without the helping line, but a
rod is placed a certain distance above
his head for use in case of need. After
this he must submit to the test CT swim
ming alone for fifteen minutes, then for
half an hour, accompanied by a boat,
and then comes the "Todtenfahf"
death trip, which lasts an hour.
The swimming exhibitions held at the
end of the summer before the command
ers of the battalions Or regiments are
pleasant festivals and those held in Ber-
lin or Potsdam are often attended by any
princes of the reigning house who hap
pen to be in the neighborhood. Glasses
of men exhibit their proficiency in swim
ming, jumping, and diving, and this
water exercise in regularly formed lines,
SQUADS and sections is a pleasant eight.
Lastly comes the most important feature
of the programme, the exhibition of the
finest swimmers in full marching uni
form and with bayoneted guns in their
hands. They jump from a high tower
into the cool water, on the surface OF
which these fully armed sons of Mars
amuse themselves until the command OF
the officer in charge calls them from the
damp element.
The swimming service of the German
army is an excellent institution, for be-
sides giving the men healthy exercise, 1t
tests the courage and self-control Of ths
men in time Of peace.-lHustrirss Zs''

WORDS OF WISDOM

We sadden as the sun sets.
Justice is q symbol of dreams.
Wit is the sparkle of conversation.
A love of nature is a renewe of youth.
Age knows what is ahead; youth seeks
it.
Friendship is an oasis in the desert of
life.
The mind is the atmosphere of the
soul.
How many counterfeit people pass
current.
Pleasure for the many; happiness for
the few.
Friendship lasts longer than love and
Is more reliable.
Our poor relations annoy us; we an
noy our rich ones.
Tears should;be shed by children, but
not by men and women.
A woman without a laugh in her is the
greatest bore in existence.
A flower cannot blossom without SUM-
shine and man cannot live without hope.
We sometimes forget in the ashes the
glow and the warmth that preceded
them. o.
It is the characteristic Of pleasure that
we can never recognize it to be pleasure
till after 1t is gone.
A life of leisure and q life of lazinesa
are two things. Many, without labor,
would live by their wits only, but they
break for want of stock.
We sleep, but the loom of life never
stops, and the pattern which was weav'
ing when the sun went down is weaving
when 1t comes up tomorrow.
A brave man thinks no n his su-
perior who does him an injury; for he
has it then in his power to make himself
superior to the other by forgetting it.
Nothing appears more surprising to
those who consider human affairs with 9
philosophical eye, than the easiness with
which the many are governed by thu
few.

Bees rs Aerial NavigatOrs.

When bees leave the hive, says John
Burroughs, unless there is some special
attraction in some other direction, they
generally 60 against the wind. They
would thus have the wind with them
when they returned home heavily laden,
and with these little navigators the dit
ference is an important ons. With a
full cargo, q stiff head wind is a great

they can face it with more ease. Virgil
says bees bear gravel stones as ballast,
but their only ballast is their honey bag.

TIE CHRISTIAN AND THE CHURCH.

TIE CHRISTIAN AND THE CHURCH.
Rev. DR.. J. R. Miller, writing in the Evan
Gelist, gives q happy description OF the rela-
ton of the Christian to the Church. He
says:
Krummncher gives us a pleasant story Of
Zaccheus, who found Christ by climbing up
into q sycamore tree that grew by the way.
side. He says that Zaccheus, in bis advanced
years, dwell in Jericho, humble and pious
sun rise be went out into the fields near by
for o walk; he invariably came back to be-
gin his work with a calm and happy mind.
His wife noticed this and wondered. Once
she secretly followed him, and he went
straight 10 the tree from which he first saw
the Lord. She hid behind the bushes to
watch what he would do. He simply took
out a pitcher and poured water at the roots,
which were getting a little dry in the sultry
climate. Then he pulled up some weeds
here and there; and after that passed his
looked up at the branches where he had sat,
anti with q gentle smile, patiently returned
Into the town. Afterwards his wife ques-
toned him saying, "Why do you not send q
servant to take care Of the sycamore you
seem to love so?" And the good old Chris
tian answered: "You have not done well
to search my doings and feelings, which you
cannot share. Feelings like these ever pre-
fer secrecy, for they are born In secret. But.
my beloved, let mt be alone in the care OF
this tree it was the tree which brought me
Him whom my soul loveth, and to peace"
We can readily understand how this pretty
story might be true of Zaccheus, how in his
aye he would naturally love and seek to
cherish the tree amid the branches he first
looked on the upturned faces of the Saviour,
and where be heard words which brought
salvation to him. No wonder he wanted
to water the roots and nourish the life OF
that sacred tree. -.
| This little story has its suggestions for good
Christian people as they gather back from
their vacations. and take their places once
more in their several churches. What the
sycamore tree was to Zaccheus, that and far
more the Church has been to us who are its
children. It not only brought US face to
face with Christ at the first, but ever since
that hour it has been the hand of Christ to
us. 1t has guided our steps and frightened
our path. 1t has comforted US In our sor-
rows, speaking its words of divine c~onsola-
ton to our hearts in many an hour of pain
and loss. 1t has shielded us from tempta-
ton, or inspired us for the struggles we had
to make. 1t has brought down to us Q herit-
age OF blessing. 1t has enriched our lives IN
countless ways.
1t is fitting, therefore, in view Of our great
| debt to the church, that we should do for it,
as long rs we live in this world, what FAC
chues did so lovingly for his tree. We should
reverence it. We should water its roots.
We should see to gather away the weeds
which we find growing under its shade. We
should keep its life pure and clean. We
should cherish it and nourish 1t in every pos
sible Way.
