THE AUMBUo OF PROVERBS,


Assuming to DO the Essenco of WIsdoa,,
They Are often uuwIsc.
A proverb has been defined as the
wisdom Of many and the wit OF one
Into many proverbs nre packed pithv
suggestions as % conduct and general
ICED experience OF mankind They n"o
sarcastic, horjut,yc, minutory, milth-
provoking, but they are not visor than
the people that make them, Hence
many of them, some OF them most
widely current, are arrant humbugs
II Chey were once true to experience
under certain conditions, they are true
no longer, To say this is fiat contra
, diction OF that well-kuown provr"b
Nobody Is wiser than cyeryho'..
but even that is one OF the humbu~s.
1t not intrequontly happens that u
single man is wiser than his whole
generation. Such men become first
the leaders, then the martyrs Of thoi"
age, but are the saints and heroes OF
the ages that follow. As Migrant in
stance of proverbiul unwisdom and
humbug, take the distich that has been
dinned into the ears OF unnumbcrcd
generations OF children:
Early 10 bed, and early to rise,
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise
This Is a terse and witty generalization
OF pastoral community where to get
on In the world IL was necessary TO
work in tho fields from "sun up TO
"sun down 1t has no application
1 whatever to town life. The wealthy
and wise men Of towns are men who
work late and rise late; and as to
/ health, IL is notorious that no part OF our
/ population so suffers from all manner
Of diseases rs farmers and their fam
HES. Yet how many have been de-
1 privcd Of their natural sleep by a
superstition, bcgot Of this wrctched
rayme, that carly rising is conducive
TO health 1t is only in recent years
/ that people have had the courage 10
take the sleep That nature demanded
The man who did so generation ago
was called "laZy'-the most intoler-
able OF all epthets. Franklin never
aimed "a provorb at him: Mon need
/ five hours sleep, women six, children
and fools seven"
Nowadays the man who takes less
than eight is a fool. Take some Of the
ma&ims intoxicating shrewd business
| policy: "A penny saved is penny
earned has ruined many a man who
could not persuade himself 20 spend
money with judicious lavishness in en-
arging his business. The penny saved
was so large in his eyes that IL hid the
dollar lost by his foolish economy.
Out OF debt, out OF danger" and
Better go 10 bed supperless than rise
In debt are a precious pair that have
brought many 10 the poor house. Debt
Is the only salvation OF many a man.
Not debt recklessly incurred by ex-
trayagant living beyond his means.
but debt incurred in the purchase OF a
home or the establishing OF business.
Where would modern commercial az
fairs be but for credit But credit
means debt; for II A trusts Il, must
owe A. Debt makes many man
careful and saving, who would spend
all he gets II he had no pressing
obligations % meet So he Is forced
IS II were In spite OF himself, TO pro
vide for sickness and old age. New

Before the beginning OF the histor-

making had been acquired, enough so

Tacoma Woman.

Mrs, Hannah poher the mother Of
Ave little Dohers, has invented the
most unique toilet apparatus on record,
says the Tacoma News. II is ma
chine that oathes, rinses, drips and
dries the entire noher brood simultane-
ously by the simple turning of crank.
The Dobers live on the water front
near the old salmon cannery, back of
Old Town, Like many OF the houses
is built ON piles, At high tide the back
porch OF this humble homo extends
over the water and this fact was ia
vorahle 10 the idea which Mother
noher had worn concealed in her mind
for some time, With the assistance OF
her husband, the enterpriSing but
oVerworked woman cut u hole in the
feet square, and then built wiudlass
like those in use ON old-fashloued well
curhs Then she got quantity o.
stout wine gauae or screens and made
crate or basket that would easily
slip through the hole in tho floor. This
basket which was about three feet
deep, was hung in sliugs fastened at
the four corners and thon attached to
the drum OF the wiadlass The baby
washer was now complete and ready
10 be put in operation.
Bright ana early every morning tho
Ave little DoborS are hustled ont OF

small for her 0g,, is an extremely
handy young miss and great hep TO

her little brother, and sisters likewise

basket Next she throws in handful
OF watored soap and then joins the little
band OF candidates for immersion.
When everything Is ready Mother
Dobor who has boon attending TO her
household duties In tho meantime
comes ont and mans the windlass crank.
She lowers her happy little flock down
into the clear cold water and gives
them thorough dousing by working
the crank backward and forward, This
movement and the oommotion mado In
the basket by the children produces .

How many people there are whose
Ideas are misty ms to the time when tho

has seen at least twice In reputable
publications the statement that George
Bancroft who was born In 1900 was
born in tho "trst year in the present
century A moments cor Iteration
must convince even a mind OF more
than average stupidity that 1900 was
tho last your Of the last century and
not the opening year Of the present
one. The first century comprised 100
years, and did not end with the year
80; 1t was not completed until the last
moment Of the last day Of the year 100.
The same b'undcr is likely to crop out
again and again as the close Of the
present century draws near and one
OF the most frequent inquiries address

telligent correspondent will be M 10
whether tho twentieth century begins
