A Very Ab.entmtnded Old Wan.

We have some curious customers oc-
casionally. There is one absentminded
old gentleman who usually dimes at
noon at u hotel near by. When he is
in n hurry he takes luncheon here.
The first time he came here he forgot
to pay up. Fortunately, there was
some gentleman here who identified
him. The next time he came ! saw
him eat meal that cost exactly ff-
teen cents. but he wanted to pay the
cashier 81. Probably he was dream
ing that he had eaten his table d'hote
dinner. The old gentleman was greatly
surprised when ! told him exactly
what he had eaten, and he thought
was very smart to remember it all.
afterward learned that he always car
ries his napkin home when he dimes at
his hotel. His wife has it washed and
returned the next day by mail. In

a Gold and silver Well.

There is wonderful we'll down in

an abundant flow of pure water. suffi-
cient to irrigate q considerable body of
land. That would be enough for any
one but San Luis man, but this is
mineral water 1t is effervescent, very
palatable and extremely healthful.
Nor is this all. The force of the wa
ter brings up from the depths an occa-
sional lump of native silver or gold
nugget. The frugal farmer has placed
Il sack of wire netting over the mouth
of the we'll to catch the metal and pre-
vent it from choking the COWS. Local
scientists claim that at great distance
down, and under an enormous press
ure, the water is washing away a ledge
of rock, whose softer parts go into
solution and give the water its mineral
qualities, but whose gold and silver,
not being dissolved, are brought to the
surface in metallic shape. Pixies

Not long ago somebody experimental
with dust gathered from various places
to search for microbes. The dust from
a city street. that gathered from the
sweeping of Il hospital ward. some
taken from a street car at the END Of a
trip-these accumulations and more
were examined with startling results.
What struck terror to the heart of the
house mother was the statement in
connection with all this investigation
that a rug could not be shaken, i cur
tain busted out or q carpet brushed in
her domain without raising q cloud of
organism more or less injurious to the
family health. The innocent pastime
OF parlor dancing was inveighed against
as treading out disease germs. and the
final sweeping assertion made that it
was impossible to make 4 carpet clean
in hygienic sense.
The London Lancet, however. comes
to the rescue. That authority pro-
nounces carpet microbes not to be
feared. The air of wholesome we'll
kept house is not on sweeping day the
poison laden atmosphere which is de-
picted. Dust is found in carpets and
microbes are found in dust. but all
dust is not so impregnated. and it is
safe to assume that most dust found in
carpets is harmless.

That carried blessing with them and lifted
their souls to Heaven:
For out of this rich abundance the hungry were
sweetly fed,
The naked were clothed, and the sick and sor-
rowful cheercd and comforted;
And so great was the joy of giving, that pastor
and people felt
AS if with the wise men of the cast at the
Sayiours feet they knelt.
Oh, never u brighter Christmas had dawned on
the dull old town,
Never had richer blessings been scattered so
freely down;
And taught by the Holy Spirit their selfish
greed to subdue
All hearts rejoced- and on Christmas day was
the Christ child born anew.

New time for toll and new space for winning
The guerdon of happiness free to all.
New hope for the souls long clouded over
With possible sorrows and actual pain;
New joys for comrade, and friend and lover,
The year is bringing them all again.
New days and hours for the patient building
OF noble character, pure and true
For faith and love, with their radiant gliding
To make the temple of life anew
A Happy New Year, and a truce to sadness,
Its every moment by God is planned;
Whatever may come, whether grief or glad
ness
Must come Alright from q Fathers hand.
He blessed the old in its dawning-thenceforth
His love was true to us all the way,
And now in the hitherto shines the henceforth,
And out of the yesterdays smiles to-day.
We would have power in this year to brighten
Each lot less blessed and fair than ours;
The woe to heal and the load to tighten,
The waste Soul-garden to plant with flowers
May every day be a royal possession
To high born purpose and steadfaSt aim,
And every hour in its swift progression
Make life more worthy than when it came.
