LIFE AFTER FORTY.

The best halt of life is in front of
the man of 10 if he be anything of
man. The work he will do will be
done with the hand of master, and
not of raw apprentice. The
trained intellect does not see "men
as trees walking" but sees every
thing clearly and IN just measure.
The trained temper does not rush at
work like blind bull at a hay stack,
but advances with the calm and
ordered pace OF conscious power
and deliberate determination. To
no man is the world so new, and the
future so fresh, as to him who had
spent the early years of his man
hood in striving to understand the
deeper problems OF science and life,
and who has made some headway
toward comprehending them. To
him the commonest things are rare
and wonderful, both in themselves
and as parts OF beautiful and in
telligent whole. Such a thing as
staleness in life and its duties he
cannot understand. knowledge is
alway opening out before him in
wider expanses and more command
ing heights. The pleasure Of grow
ing knowledge and increasing power
makes every year of his life happier
and more hopeful than the last.

sunken reef. Whenever it can con,
sistently be done it is best to avoid
the man who argues. 1t is extremely
unpleasant to feel that you are on
the witness stand of cross exami-
nation, and to be obliged to prove
your simplest propositions by all the
ologies and isms known to science.
Argument is in its place in lyceums
and debates-somctimes in the pull
pit--but not as steady diet among
friends. 1t is the essence of contra.
diction and the person who is con-
tinually contradicting will act like an
east wind on peace and sociability.

THE MAN WHO ARGUES.

Is there anything on the face of
the earth, asks Kate Thorn in the
New York Weekly, more disagree
able than the man who argues? ? A
thief and a liar can be endured, be-
cause one cannot be perpetually
lying or stealing but the man who
was born with the spirit of argu-
ment in his composition follows the
business of arguing continually. You
cannot risk saying that the grass is
green, or that rats tail is longer
than mouse's without being con-
tradicted and challenged to prove
your statement. He will discuss the
subject pro and con to show you
that you are in error and if you
don't see it he will insinuate that
some folks are intellectually blind,
and then your temper will rise and
his likewise, and you will say some
thing hot and SO will he, and there
be trouble in camp" When it
comes to married life it is safe to say
that two thirds of the divorces are
caused by argument. People who
do not argue seldom appear in
divorce courts. 1t has been said
over and over again that no two
persons can be found who agree
upon every point, and probably it is
a true assertion. Nor is it necessary
that they should Peace and order
can be preserved in a house by for
bearance and tolerance, even if one
member OF the household insists that
black is white and another member
is sure that white is black. We
should always be willing to grant
freedom OF thought and belief to
others. Two persons who are asso
ciated together will, before long, dis
cover that there are points upon
which they always disagree, and
! these subjects should always be
avoided in conversation. They are
rocks upon which many a bark Of
happiness has been wrecked. Change
the conversation whenever you find
it drifting toward these fatal chan
nels, st as yc sod change the

A DAYLIGHT REFLECTOR.

A very practical invention has just
been completed and put on the market
abroad. 1t is nothing less than "day-
light reflector" by which dark rooms,
factories, cellars, and Easements,
museums, stores, etc, can be suttused
with the light of day. This apparatus
is lmpervious TO the Influences of in
clement weather, rain, ETC., because 1t
is not lined with mercury, but consists
of a highly polished, peculiarly auted
metal surface. 1t is easily adjusted to
window by carpenter or locksmth.
The best results are obtained by ad-
lusting the reflector to the upper part
of the window, so that the sky is re-
flected in il and dIffused light thrown
into the space that is thus to be
lighted.
Many dark corners can in this way be
made serviceable, or used to advantage
by proIonging the hours of daylight and
saving the est Of artificial illumination.
The reflector can be so adjusted that
the light is carried to any desired point
in the room.

HOW TO SET A TABLE.
DelmonIco TeIIe How Table Should be
Set and Arranged.

Learn first, says Delmonico in an
article IN the November Ladies Home
Journal, how to set table. A round
table is better than square table, if
the dining-room is large enough to
permit it, if not, then the ordinary
oblong extension table is used. The
round table is much more preferable
and easier to seat people at, besides it
gives a suggestion of the famous King
Arthur and the Knights of the Round
Table. \ few prominent society
women still cling to the old fashioned
long table. Mrs. As!or, for example,
still uses that style of dining-table in
order that her famous gold dinner set
may be placed to the best advantage.
Mrs. August Belmont, on the contrary,
prefers an oblong table, and the dec
orations for ali elaborate dinner are
carried out TO make the shape more
pronounced. Flowers should never
be absent from the dinner table. No
matter how homely, they add to the
picturesqueness of the feast.
Let US see how table is set for d
fashionable dinner party. On the table
Is first placed thick flannel cloth, the
thicker it is the better as it prevents
noise of the dishes as they are placed
upon it. Over this is a snowy white
damask tablecloth, bearing the family
crest or ccat-of arms. Sometimes
over this is placed still another of Ella
borate embroidery and lace, lined with
pink or elbow satin, as taste dictates,
or Dredominate a.

NEXT THE MUSICAL BOBoLINK.

The array of musical bobollnks which
passed over the dying rays of the har-
Dor lights flew i'll good Bohemian fash
ion, with do distinctive leader. Large
congregations OF wood duck, black
duck and teal were seen next, and
were at once noticed by the symmetric
lines which they formed. Among the
mergansers the redbreasted were
most CONSPICUOUS. The bird process
sion, of course, would not haye been
complete had there been no crows. 1t
goes without saying that hundreds of
birds pass over New York without
going near the Statue of Liberty, but
many of them strike against the statue
itself and others aginst the foundation.
Some OF the naturalists had brought
nets with which they caught numbers
of binds, while others were able tc

HOW OLD SPIDERS LIVE.

Old spiders, which have neither web
nor the materials to make one, often
hunt about to find out the webs OF
other spiders, younger Nd weaker
than themselves, with whom they
venture battle. The invader generally
succeeds, and the younger spider is
driven out to make a new web, and
the old spider remains in possession
until stronger spider iavades the web
and drives it out. When thus dispos-
sessed the spider seldom ventures
another attack, but tries to subsist upon
the few insects that may fall accidentally
into its clutches, and eventually dies OF
hunger.-LonQoN Standard.

OUR DAILY BREAD.
BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.

Give us our daily bread" We pray,
And know but half OF what We say.
The bread on which our bodies feed
Is but the moiety Of our need.
The soul, the heart, must nourished he,
And share the daily urgency.
And though it may lie bitter bread
On which those nohler parts are fed,
No less we crave the daily dole,
o Lord, of body and OF soul.
Sweet loayes. the wine must all aioam
The mamma and the honey comb,
A Il these are good, but better still
The food which checks and mOulds the will
The sting for pride. the smart lcr sill
The purging draught for self within,
The sorrows which we shUddering meet,
Not knowing their aiter-taste OF sweet,
All these we ask for when We pray,
Give us our daily bread this day
Lord, leave us not athrst, unied;
Give US this best and hardest bread,
Until these mortal needs are past,
We sit at thy full feast at last,
The bread of angels broken ov thee,
The wine OF JOY poured constantly.

HER ADVICE WAS GOOD.

My father died before | reached

tunity to be away when the boys
started for Europe. At the supper
table at Buffalo on our return Mr..
Jones got a New York Woyld, and

list of the killed and burned were

John Arnold and Tom Riser came in
from the North Moecasin last Saturday,
where they ha We been spending the winter
working their quartz claims. Mr.. Riser
will leave for the Belt mountains in a few
days to look after his placer mining inter
ests on Dry Wolf creek. He, in company
with John Arnold, Nels Jensen and Others,
have some valuable ground in that region,
which they have been unable to work owing
to two u~nfa vorable seasons. Mr.. Riser
hopes to be able to do something this
spring, but cannot state anything definite
until he has met with Others interested in
the property. He is anxious to begin work
at once, believing that there will be abund-
ant water to operate with. Mr.. Dickin-
sheets, one of the owners, is expected to
return from the coast in a few days, IL he
has not already reached the locality OF the
mines.
Billings Gazette: The necessity for a
wagon bridge across the Musselshell near
Roundup is becoming more apparent every
day. Through the lack of a bridge at this
point traffic coming to and going from Bill
lings during the busiest season OF the year
from the lower Judith basin country is OBJ
liged to go up the river some fifty miles to
Lavina in order to make a crossing. Lower
Judith people have repeatedly protested
against making the roundabout trip to
reach Billings, and the merchants at Great
Falls are taking advantage OF the ~uati
by offering. all sorts OF Inducements in order
to drift the Judith country trade out OF it's
natural channel. They will succeed in &C.
complishing their ends to a great extent un-
less something is done to bridge the river
and build passable a in the locality
mentioned. This matter is an important
one to the welfare OF commercial interests
in Billings, and a delegation OF business
men should get together and formulate n
plan to lay the question before the honor
able board OF county commissioners Tor
their action.
