The Right Philosophy.

1t is worth while for us all, even
when suffering pain to refrain from
frowning and wrinkling up our faces,
and saying impatient words. Every
passing thought and feeling write
themselves upon the countenance, and
the young girl is making day by day
not only the woman she VIII be In
character later on, but the woman she
will be in looks. Handsome or plain,
agreeable or opposite, the woman of
forty is dependent for her looks on the
girl of fourteen. You owe an amount
of thought and consideration to the
woman you are going to be, and the
friends who will love her, and so you
must not let needless lines and fur
rows come to your pretty brows, u
keep your foreheads smooth, and do
not draw your lips down at the cor
ners, nor go about looking unhappy.
1t is possible, even when bearing
! much pain, to wear a tranquil express
| sion if one will, but remember that
| the TRANQUIL mind in the end can con-
quer pain.
Crossing town the other day in haste
to catch a train, the horse-car was
three times blocked by great vans
which stood upon the track. l looked
about on my fellow-passengers. Some
had flushed and angry faces, some
could not sit still, but tapped the floor
with their feet. and uttered eXclama-
tions, and looked at their watches.
One or two stepped out with their
bags and walked hastily onward. But
a dear old lady in the corner of the
car was a pattern of sweetness and
amiability, and l heard her observe
to her neighbor. "We will probably
lose our train, but at this time of the
day there are trains every half-hour,
and it's never well to be put out by
little accidents of this sort" She had
the right philosophy-Harper's Round
Table.

der the equally incomprehensible
name of ''aralia paphyrifeca" ground
up with lime and then baked in a kiln.
When this is done the mass is ham
mered out in the form of long rolls and
then cut up into slices, just as the
confectioner behind the great glass
window cuts up his long and yielding
twist of molasses cGndy for the amuse-
ment of a crowd of boys outside and
the benefit of those who come in and
buy.
These pieces are put into a curious
little mortar and pounded together
again with a little hammer that comes

Just as near as anything could in
China, where there are so many hands
ready to work for a miserable allow
ance of rice. AT last these slices are
made into a mass again, and this time
it comes out as soft as dough, which
is placed in a large pot of water till
it is completely dissolved, then with
something very like a sieve they lift
water from this pot, allowing it to run
back again through the bottom which

there is always a thin white sediment
left in the bottom of the sieve. Sud
denly throwing the sieve upside down
on the floor they dislodge the sedi-
ment, which falls in a thin white film.
A thousand of these are left to lie one
upon the other, then the whole is tax
en- out in the sun to dry, and thus il
becomes paper. The process is al
ways the same all aver China. but the
ingredients differ in almost every fac
tory. The common ingredients are

and the leaves of many plants, the
hair and even the intestines of animals
If you take the inner piece of brown
paper on the wrapping of a pack OF
~firecrackers and bold it to the light
you will he able to see some of the in
gradients used in making paper.
1t is an easy thing to distinguish the
firecracker made in America from
those of Chinese make. In the frs

than four and a half inches in length
and have short cord fuses. while. OF

LOVES YOUNG DREAM.
The Enjoyment of 1t Was Shared by
Highly Interested Outsiders.

TEShI
In a certain hotel parlor in this city
there is a dear little couch in a cozy
spot just fitted for lovers tete-a-tetes,
and a pretty girl and her best beau
have discovered it, says the Indian
apolis Sentinel. When she lunches
with him at the hotel they immediate
iy repair to the parlor and sit on the
couch. Then he puts his manly arm
around her neck and whispers airy
something's to her, pats her shoulder,
rultles her tresses and finally imprints
not one but a bakers dozen kisses
upon her ruby lips. Sometimes he for.
gets to stop for several minutes. Then
when he is exhausted from his efforts
she settles herself closer to him, and
while nothing "a be seen of him from
behind her big hat, big sleeves and full
skirt save his pointed tan shoes, she
takes q hand in the careSsing.
Are they alone? Well, hardly. The
~hard-hearted hotel proprietor, who
ought to get his deserts some day, has
so arranged his plate glass mirrors
that the couch is plainly visible from
a pier glass on one of the stair land
ings. Here first one bell boy and theI
another stands and takes notes. Thel
they giggle and go for the chamber
maids. The girls come and take en-
vious peeps until the sound of the Ia
dies coming from lunch makes then
scurry. The ladies', too, stop on the
landing and enjoy loves young dream
and all the time the pretty girl and he
beau have no idea that there could bt
a soul mean enough to spy upon them
But the mirror should be moved.

ways have a notice printed on their
sides, DO not hold in the hand after
lighting" Only an American boy
would be guilty of such a reckless
thing. In China as soon as a child
lights a cracker he leaves it and does
not run back to pick it up to see if the
fuse is burned out. But in America it
is not so. The glorious Fourth comes
but once a year, and the small boy
in his endeavor to have d good time
rushes about and does some of the
most venturesome things. If he would
follow the Chinese example the ocu-
lists and surgeons would not do such
a thriving business the day following
the celebration. of independence.

and have gilt labels. A tirework firm
in Chicago once tried to make small
firecrackers by machinery, but after
several fruitless attempts gave it up
with Il loss of several thousand dol
lars. They could reproduce a pack of
firecrackers after the Chinese pattern
the only trouble being that they would
not explode. This is mainly because
no machine can be manufactured to
roll the firecrackers and take the place
of the gentle pressure done with the
human hand. They invariably roll
them too tight and thereby render
them useless.

The Sherins Ruse.

A deputy sheriff started from the Re-
ceiving hospital with two insane men
who had been committed to the asylum
at Ukiah.
"You had better take some one along
to help you unless you want to have
some trouble, " suggested one Of the po-
Ice surgeons. 1.-TWO men I should think
would be too many for you.
"Not much 1t is easier to take two
men than QUE III show you how do
it."
The deputy led the man who imagined
be was king Of England to one side and
confded to him:
"Your majesty, that man over there, "
indicating the man who thought his
head was an eight day clock, "is as era
~ as a bcdbug and is liable to hurt
some Of your subjects if he gets loose. I
want you to help me take care Of him
till I can lcck him up in the asylum. "
"That's an unseemly occupation for
the king Of England. Fab Attendant
to the insane" remarked the disguised
monarch. but l Will do it. l like adj
venture. You will take due precaution
to conceal my identity, or your head
will be the price Of your carelessness. "
The deputy whispered to the human
clock.
do you see that fellow over there"
indicating the king. "Well, he's crazy,
and if you don't keep your face toward
him he's liable to stop your hands and
touch off your alarm Now, l want you
to help me watch him till can land
him in the asylum. Then you can run
right along"
When the deputy left the hospital,
the king and the clock had locked arms
and We're hanging 70 each other desper-
ately. The deputy smoked and read all
the way to Ukiah while the insane men

And yet Paul knew how to make the

all were mirrored in his never to be for

When Herod went to Rome "to receive

The lady answered that she feared she

E1actiOns of French E1chequer.
