she uses, she secures one picture, two
pictures, twenty pictures of the urchin
in unconstrained attitudes about its
play. The doting mother sends the
small boy and the girl with the camera

Ways and means of living are to be
viewed, largely, from the standpoint
of peace of mind-of happiness. No
one can afford to live in an uncongen-
ial atmosphere. If he can buy peace
of mind it is a good investment. Not
that either mental or spiritual peace
are for sale in the market-place, but
still they depend to very good de-
gree on matters of environment, and
peace OF mind is a working capital OF
life. 1t has no representation on the
ledger, but all the same it has value
beyond computation.
The energy. goodwill, interest in
affairs and faith in ones self and
ones associates all of these are the
factors that put one in a working
mood, and to most Of us our working
moods are our capital. We may be
able to afford many losses, but we
cannot afford to lose this. Whoever
takes it from us takes that which,
like the traditional good name, not
enriches him, and leaves us "poor in
deed" Ones most priceless possess
sions are his energy and his faith.
What right has the respondent or
the ill-tempered or "soured" indi-
vidual to bring his discordant atmos-
phere into that of harmony, and
sweetness and energy? 1t is "a clog
ging, even paralyzing force, and the
man who is in dark mood should be
denied approach to his fellow-creat-
ures until he can regain the level OF
humanity.
Although, of course, there are not
wanting instances where one who is
in despondent mood or in real
trouble, needs the sweet ministering
of cheerfulness and energy. Then
the best possible use of this working
capital" may be made-of all the
cheerfulness and energy and love that
has been stored up. 1t is missionary
work. of the higher and the more
subtle kind.
But for all Of us the work of life
demands all that is encouraging and
hopeful and of good repute; and eaca
and all who aim TO live worthilv
should regard faith and energy and
goodwill as the best of all working
capital

Tennrson,s Mesmerlc Powers.

Tennyson, the late Poet Laureate of
Englard. had extraordinary mesmeric
powers. He went, as a young man,
with his wife TO some country inn,
and soon after his arrival a doctor
called, who, having introduced him
self, said: al am here with lady
who is suffering from severe mental
ailments, and want you to come and
try your mesmeric passes on her, be-
Cause | am quite convinced that you
have strong mesmeric powers" Ten-
nyson laughed at this. but he went
with the doctor, who showed him how
to make the passes. and lie found that
he had the power, and that it exer-
cised very beneficial influence on
the suffering lady. Afterward, when
lie went into the room, the patient
would fall Into a mesmeric sleep al
most before he began his passes on
her. After the parties left the inn
they did not meet for some years, and
Tennyson did not recognize the doc
tor until reminded of the eircum-
stances by the latter, who further
said; do you know you saved the
lady's life, and she is now my wife?'

Giant Bees Of India.

Before long an attempt will be made
to introduce into the United States the
giant bees of India, which build
combs in the forest as big as house
doors. Their honey is gathered by
professional bee hunters. The drones
are no bigger than ordinary bees, and
for that reason it is more likely that
they would breed with the races now
domesticated here. These bees of
india have longer tongues than other
bees, and thus they would be able to
get from many kinds of flowers much
honey that now goes to waste. Alarm
ing stories are told of tho extraordi-
nary ferocity of this species, swarms
being said to have attacked native viii
lagos with fatal results, but expert
bee keepers would have no difficulty
in handling them.-fBoston Tran

At Sunset.

IL Isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you've left undone.
Which gives you bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out Of brothers way.
The bit Of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say.
The loving touch Of the hsnd. dear,
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time or thought for
With troubles enough of your own.
The little act Of kindness,
So easily out Of mind;
Those chances to be angels
Which every mortal finds
They come in night and silence
Each chill reproachful wrath
When hope is faint and tagging,
And a blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late,
And it's not the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undCne,
Which gives you the bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun.
