BETTER THOUGHTS.

Reol modesty Is never founs on exhi-
bition.
No woman respects her husband very
much unless she can feel LITTLE proud
Of him.
A million dollars in gold capnot buy a
meal for hungry heart.
Most seekers after pleasure usually
pay for a gallon and get only a pint.
When you SEQ a man taking advice
good naturally you may pat 1t down
that he has somebody picked out to
whom he Is going to give it.
The man with purple nose, as big
al your fist, will tell you that an extrav-
axant wife keeps his nose to the grind
stone.
Three things ruin a man-to know lit
tie and talk much, to have little and to
spend much, and to be worth little and
presume much.

that time did, however, help TO restore
him to his normal condition. His wife
received a small package, accompanied
by soiled and delapidated note, which,
upon being opened, read:
"honored madam:
Il gets no sleap sence stoal yure
dimons no yure lady an am reich
IL Civ them up pra fur me.

And in the package Mabel found her
diamonds, exactly as she had last seen
them.
She was pleased-where is the wom-
an who would not have been?-and she
at once showed her confidence in her
husband by placing the gems in his
hands for safe keeping in the bank.
II wish I had taken your advice ear

Leander murmured something about
all being well that ends well, and at
noon brought her certificate of de-
posit.
There we leave them, on the way to
fortune and happiness if-if-Leander's
conscience does not upset the whole
scheme. He would give great deal
to know, what no clairvoyant could tell
him, how much or little Mabel has dis
covered. My own opinion Is that she
saw through it from the first and holds
herself equally guilty, as accessory
after the crime, and with that sweet
fckleness which even an upright wom-
an employs she will make herself a
loving accomplice. For it is foregone
conclusion that Leander Clarke was
his own burglar.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the eustachian tube.
w hen this tube get inaamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness Caused by catarrh) that

NUMBERING OF HOUSES.
Berlin Began 1t just One Hundred
Years Ago.

Berlin began III just one hundred
Years Ago.
At present there Is some talk in Ber-
lin of celebrating somewhat singular
centenary-that Of the origin of the
numbering of houses. According to a
German contemporary this convenient
method of indication was quite I'M
known, even in London or Paris, until
century ago. In 1875 the practice Of
numbering private houses was begun
in Berlin. The method employed, how
ever, was then exceedingly imperfect.
The Brandenburg Gate was taken as
the point Of departure, and the num-
bers went on successfully throughout
the whole town, without any distinction
as regards streets. Even to-day the sys-
tenn of numbering generally employed
in the German capital leaves much to
be desired, as the numbers run con-
secutively up one side Of the street and
back again on the other. Vienna
claims the honor of having inaugurated
In 1908 the method Of placing the odd
numbers on one side of the street and
the even ones on the other.

forelock, the only way poor mortals
have OF ever getting even with him of
the scythe and hour-glass.
But 1t is this very thing that is caus-
ing him such a lot of mental anguish
now, making his nights sleepless and
threatening to undermine his domestic
peace.
Mabel Thorpe laid no claims to social
distinction when Leander met her first
at some entertainment, where she rem
dered selections of classic music in such
a mastery manner that he, being a
lover of music, was instantly attracted
to her side and stayed there during the
evening. For the rest she wore glasses,
being near-sighted, and, having grad
uated from an eastern college, was
rather stiff and pedantic in her manner
"a grateful change from tie ordinary
risky young creatures with whom Lee
ander had been associated.
1t takes all kinds of people to make 81
world-more's the pity-and love goes
where 1T is sent. Mabel had expected
to become one of that noble army of
martyrs, teachers, but when Leander
proposed she reconsidered the matter
and thought she he'd the voice Of
duty bidding her al Jwer "yes," and
without more ado she accepted him.
Now, Mabel Thorpe did not expect
her hero to swim the Hellespont of life
with all his armor on, but she did de-
mand from him-as she had right to
do--a high moral standard, for she had
not married him until she had seen, as
she had believed, his whole past life
laid open before her as book. There
Is no time when a man Is as weakly
sentimental and as religious as when he
is trying to live up to the standard of
a pure young girls ideal, and Leander
became almost an angel.
There are very few of us capable Of
making human angels Of ourselves.
Good and evil are as persistently pres
ent in our moral nature as light and
darkness are in our atmosphere, and
one serves as the complement OF the
other. To Danish night we use the light
Of science, to counterfeit wrong we in
woke divine help but so largely is our
worldly nature in excess Of our spirit
ual powers that we are constantly in
danger Of erring to be forgiven-in
other words, SHINING and repenting.
Mabel Thorpe believed in an inflexi-
bic uprightness. The command to do
evil that good may come was to her
perverted text. She was not aware that
there are sins of omission, as we'll as OF
commission and that her uprighteous
condemnation Of sinners and her severe
judgments were in themselves Of sim
full nature. The self-righteous are often
harder to live with than the sinner.
Leander Clarke had been a good son
and he intended to be good husband.
He was both proud and fond of his
wife, but certainly regretted that he
could not give her all the luxuries that
she could appreciate not even the
grand plano that her musical talent de-
served. But he went to work with a
will to make her happy and hoped in
a few years to be able to add all other
needful things.

young couple was one that far out

terror, as it undoubtedly is, to the adult
inhabitants Of American cities. Indeed,

the day when the world seems to be dis

TREES RAISE MATER

| How the Big Oaks Help to Solve the
Motive Power Problem.
An additional reason why America
should preserve her trees, says the Bos.
ton Globe, is being contributed by the
scientists, who anticipate that in the
not far distant future the great motive
power of civilization will be water. as
related to gravitation and electricity.
Trees are the great water-lifters.
The wise men tell us that an oak tree
OF average size, with 100000 leaves,
lifts from the earth into the air about
1913 tons of water durings the fve
months it displays its foliage.
From the leaves the water is evapor-
ated and formed into clouds, which, de-
posting their weight of moisture, ulti-
mately supply the Niagara capable Of
supplying large part Of the motive
power of the country.
Trees are specially designed to facil-
itate evaporation through the moisture
spread over their myriad leaves. The
new prospects as to coming motive
power offer q very potent reason why
they should be preserved and culti-
waited
Spare the trees. The destruction Of
our remaining forest areas would be a
step toward economic suicide.

BY teaching them early to build up q
little library they will acquire a love
for books that will grow upon them.
Children not familiar with books from
childhood seldom take to them when
they grow older. Use the utmost care
IN selecting books that contain right
moral teachings, so that the little bud
ding minds win never absorb anything
that Is detrimental to their character.
As children grow older teach them to
use the faculty of discrimination and
selection for themselves. Do not make
them too dependent upon another's
mind in their selection of reading mat
ter. For . little child a small library
case can be made out of box obtained
at the grocer's. Either cover the sides,
inside and outside, with cheese cloth,
or paint 1t to suit the taste. Make lit
tie shelves inside, run brass rod across
the top, and fit pretty little curtain
IN front Of it. The case can stand on
the floor, or on a table where the chill.
dren can reach it. Make them put
their books In 1t at all times, and they
will learn to take care of them and keep
them in order.-Once Week.

ority OF man over animals, and of wom-

intellectual force is in direct ratio to
the weight not only of the brain but
also of the spinal marrow. Upon this
principle he has prepared the following
table, in which he finds the compare
tive intellectual value of different

THE FARMING WORLD,
BuTCHERlNG sEEvEs.
How Farmers Can Have Good Meat All
Through the Winter.

How Farmers Can Have Good Meat AL
Through the Winter.
With care infeeding and butchering,
the farmer can have supply of the
best beef all through the winter One
| advantage in raising and butchering
your own meat is that you know ex-
actly the kind and quality of the meat
you are eating and this cannot always
be said OF what is bought dressed from
the average country butcher.
A two-year old heifer if kept in good
condition, SO as to be thrifty and viga
orous, makes good beef and the car
cass is not usually SO large but that
an average farmers family can use it
to advantage. Cheaper beef can only
be had by fatten1ng an old cow with
good pasturage and corn.
The animal should have nothing to
eat for at least twelve hours before kill
ing, as its entrails will not then be
distended and it can be cleaned easier
and the carcass win cool out more rap
idly.
The animal is best killed with rifle
ball, shot midway of line from one
eye to the opposite horn, or it may be
killed by a blow in the same spot with
sledge or ak As soon as it falls cut
a cash square across the throat, sever
ing the jugular vein. When proper con-
veniences are at hand the carcass may
be run up at once or it may have the
skin removed on the ground with very
little trouble and the entrails re-
moved, making the task of running up
to cool out an easier one. Cut the hide
from the throat along the brisket and
central line of the belsg between the
thighs to the tail, and then, from this
cut along the inside of the legs to the
hoof. Commence at the hoof and skin
down each leg and then take the skin
from one side of the body. # the ami
NAL is lying on the ground spread out
the hide and roll the animal over on
that side and remove the skin from the
other side
If the carcass has been run up after
the hide is taken off the legs, the bet
ter plan is TO skin round and down
Be careful not to cut any gashes in the
hide, as this causes dockage Of from
one-third to one-half in the price.
Take off the fore legs at the joint and
the hind ones about three inches be-
low the hook joints.
To remove the entrails, open along
the middle of the belly and brisket,
cutting from the inside, running the
finger along ahead Of the knife
through the belly. Open the carcass
and wash 1t out well with cold water,
using a cloth, il necessary, to remove
the blood. After cooling off split the
carcass through the middle of the A
backb with a saw, working from
the inside. Use the saw for cutting
all bones. as much neater work can be
done. 1t can then be quartered and
taken down and cut into convenient
pieces for sailing. st. Louis Republic.

How to Make % Dreary Room Very Bright
and Cheerful.
You can make dreary, sunless room
very bright and cheerful by the proper
use of color. Use q soft buttercup
yellow paper, one of those colors which
seem to reflect sunlight from them
selves. A big fireplace tiled with two
shades of yellow tile would be q hand

Minton tiles which come from Eng
land and used to cost so much NAV
now be purchased at sixty cents per
square foot in colored designs. This
factory used to make fascinating vel
low and black tiles repeating the
stories Of ssThe Idy1ls of the King"
and other English classics. Such tiles
would make q charming framework
around the fireplace, and the hearth
might be covered by tiles in the same
colors, but in conventional design.
One would hardly care to tread under
foot the lovely Enid, the bold Sir Lam
celot, or even the mischievous Vivian.
The paint of this room ought to be
cream white, and the ceiling paper
cream white, with lines of yellow. The
furniture ought to be of cheerful
light character, with an abundance of
dainty, bright-colored cushions. The
sash curtains at the windows should be
striped with yellow. Such room as
this will Tight up" beautifully in the
evenings. and one will scarcely miss
the sunshine in the daytime. The
success of the room depends on the
choice of yellow hues. There is a Ger

color of the daisy or the petal Of the
buttercup, which always looks well in
furnishing and harmonizes perfectly
with pure white, while hard orange
shades are always painful to the eye.-

woman's ways on the wbee,.

1t is noticed that in cycling the ele-
giant woman does not coast; neither
does she race. Rapidity of movement
she considers neither conducive to
grace nor as eyineing good style. On
the contrary, she sits erect, with ell
bows well In, gliding along slowly, and
with SO little motion that the loss
of dignity is not thought of in her con-
nection. She does not wear skirts SO
short as to attract attention when she
dismounts. In fact, in everything con-
nected with the wheel her movements
are SO quiet and unobtrusive as to ex-
cite the admiration OF the onloolxer in
stead of the derision so frequently re-
corded. 'Repose is always elegance, .
and rapidity on the wheel is quite the
reverse. Forum.

PURE WHITE HONEY.
This Is by All Odds the Best Winter Food
for Bees.

for Bees.
Too many people have an idea that,
while only the best honey will do to
market, anything that the bees will
eat is good enough for them The
first part of this idea is all right, the
second all wrong. Probably the great
est winter danger to bees is from dys-
entery, and that is.usnally caused by
improper food or a cold hive Of the
two causes / consider the first most
common. When the autumn honey
flow is limited and much space remains
untitled, the bees undertake to patch
out their stores with the juice of de-
caying fruits, etc. This is totally unfit
for them, and particularly fatal during
the fall and winter. The vicinity of
cider mills is an undesirable location
for an apiary, on that account The
pomace is very injurious to them as a
winter food. One should be careful.
too, what artificial food is given to.
them in the fall. Save dubious mate
rial you want cleaned up till spring,
when, If not absolutely poison, it usu-
ally will not injure them. OF course.
nothing questionable may be given
them while the sections are on.
Z The very best bee food for winter is
pure white honey. That seems to con-
tain the least indigestible matter.
Next to this comes pure honey of a
darker shade. Ii artificial food be
necessary (do not skimp them to avoid
feeding) use pure granuIated sugar
syrup. This is the best at any time,
but 50 much of successful wintering
depends upon good food that one
should be especially particular IN the
fall feeding. One may at times have
other material quite as unobjectiona-
BILE as this, but where one is in doubt,
the advice of an experienced apiarist
should be sought before using it,
