sense in National prover,s.

There is deal of sound sense IN the
proverbs of a nation. Earl Russell de-
fined proverb as being the wit of one
man and the wisdom of many, and the
aptness of this is well shown in the fol-
lowing from the Spanish, ''Since we
cannot get what we like, let us like what
we get" The thought is as old as the
race of mankind, but ages passed before
one man hit upon the happy expression
of it. This saying, from the Chinese, is
whole homily on pride in one sentence,
when a tree is blown down, it shows
that the branches are longer than the
roots
For concise expression of the lofty
aspirations Of youth and the sober
achievements of ripper years, take this
sentence from Henry D. Thoreau, 1.-THE
youth gets together his materials to
build bridge to the moon, or perchance
palace or temple on the earth, and at
length the middle aged man concludes
to build woodshed with them."-B. A.

named Rutz who left his old city, Bar

ago. When he returned he executed
the wooden Indian in rude way, as a
type of the sort of animal he had met in
the New World, and the figure was set
up in front of a shop where wine was
sold. Finally it became a sort of trade
mark. There were smokers in those
days and they assembled around the In
dian. And the wooden Indian is now
seen in front of nearly every cigar store.

Woman,s statement.

!, They got into an argument about the
money made by people who earn their
living on the stage. OF course they diff
fered; people can't argue satisfactorily
unless they do differ But here is the
opinion of woman who was once on
the stage, who was considered popular,
who was clever enough in her work to
get applause and praise. who presum-
ably earned more than the average ac-
tress, and yet who is content with her
present life:
When / take out the money paid for
gowns which we're useless except on the
stage. when make allowance for tray-
cling expenses, hotel bills, weeks in
which few performers earn anything:
when take into account engagements
which could not for many reasons be
satisfactory to me; when l foot up the
salaries which sometimes in my early
work never received, and when | esti-
mate the thousand and one little ex-
penses which were then necessary, con-
slider that for several years of my life
earned practically nothing but living,
and worked very hard, You must un-
derstand. Wheu l got married l left
the stage. Now it isn't necessary to tell
you what my salary was or what my
husbands salary now is, but his earn
ings are less than mine were. But we
two live much better on his smaller
salary than | alone could live on my
bigger salary. We have a pretty home
and all that we need to be happy. We
save little money too. So l suppose
this is a fair answer as to what one
makes on the stage. There are a great
many circumstances to be considered. =

Letters That Never Caue.

They tell a funny story of a man who
rented box in the postofice awhile ago.
He appears to have been new to the
business and failed to get the hang OF
the thing. After month or so he called
ON one of the postoffice officials and be-
gan to kick about the box. "The blamed
thing never had any mail in it, J" was his
complaint.
Il have looked in that box every day
since rented it and it hasn't had a thing
in it the whole time. even addressed a
letter to myself and never heard from it, u
The two took a look at the box and
the postoffice man inquired if the box
renter had ever opened his box Why,
no; of course not. Couldn't he see that
there wasn't anything in it.
OF course it turned out that he had
forgotten the number of his box though
it was on his receipt, and had been
watching and swearing over an unrented
one. He found stock of mail in his
box at last and went away feeling small
enough to crowd inside of it.-Buffalo

How to Shave Easily.

The moment you get out of bed is the
best time. Your beard will never be so
pliable after you are around awhile.
First wash your beard well with soap
and cold water. Rain water is better,
of course. Then apply lather plentifully
and cold as rule. But if your razor is
cold. close it and place it in your pocket
or under your arm till it gets warm.
Like other edged tools, the razor is only
very fine saw, and therefore it is better
to move it Il little endways as you shave
rather than with straight, broad
sweep. If you always shave in one di-
rection around your face the beard will
soon get a permanent cant in that di-
rectDn, the effect of which is-well. a
matter of taste.

Waited Until the Child Was Safe

An interesting little war story has
Governor Jones, of Alabama, for its
hero. At the time Gordon was resisting
Sherman's advance, Jones, then a staff
captain, was delivering message from
his chief when he saw little child, clad
only in night clothes, hiding in terror
behind frame house in the direct range
of the bullets from each army. Jones
rode forward, took the child ON his horse
and galloped back with her to the Con-
federate line. When the Union forces
saw the act they ceased firing. and there
was an impromptu cessation of hostii-
ties until the child had been carried to a
point of safety. Charleston News and

How to Treat a Frozen Part.

Rub with snow and the bare hand al
ternately, gradually increasing the fric-
tlon until the sensation returns. The
person frozen should by no means be
taken into a warm room until the sensa-
tion is restored. 1t is nearly always best
to begin in tolerably cold room aud let
the air grow warmer very gradually.
In short, the frozen part should be
thawed by a gradual extension of the
patients own circulation and never by
outside heat, as in the latter there is
danger of modification

How to Treat Newspaper Reporter.

How tO Treat Newspaper Reporter.
Don't tell newspaper reporter, when
he calls on you on business, things
which you do not wish him to print. He
does not call for information for the fun
of it. He is there on business. When
you meet a reporter socially don't say to
him every time you open your mouth,
''This is not for publication" The
chances are that reporters know the
proprieties of life quite as well as men
in other callings. If you really have
information to give either give it cheer
fully and frankly or refuse with firm
ness, but don't try to be clever and at
tempt any ''funny business" If you
give the information frankly you will in
nlnety-nine cases out of hundred be
accurately reported and respectfully
treated. If you refuse on any other than
trivial grounds your reticence will be
respected. If you try to outwit the re-
porter by an effort to mislead him or by
direct misrepresentation you are sure to
make u mess of it and wish that you had
been better advised. Disabuse your
mind of any foolish impression that
newspaper reporters are malignant per-
sons trying to stir up strife in the world.
They are as u rule the opposite of this
and have as high an idea as other men
of that message of glad tidings, sPeace
ON earth and good will among all good
men,"
