Don't Worry.

There Is one sin which it seems to
me, is everywhere and by everybody
underestimated, and quite too much
overlooked in the valuation of character.
II is the sin of fretting. 1t is common
as air, as speech-so common that, un-
less 1t rises above it's usual monotone,
we do not even observe it. Watch any
ordinary coming together or people, and
see how many minutes it will be before
somebody frets-that is, makes more or
less complaining statement of something
or other, which probably every one in
the room, or in the car, or on the street
corner, it may be, knew before, and
probably nobody can help. Why say
anything about it? It is cold, it is hot,
1t is wet, 1t Is dry, somebody has broken
an appointment, ill-cooked meal; stu
pidity or bad faith somewhere has re-
suited in discomfort There are plenty
Of things to fret about. It is simply
astonishing how much annoyance may
be found in the course of every days
living, even of the simplest, if one keeps
a sharp eye on that side of things Even
Holy Writ says we are prone to trouble
as sparks fly upward" But even to the
sparks flying upward, in the blackest
of smoke there is blue sky above, and
the less time they waste on the road the
sooner they will reach it. Fretting is all
time wasted on the road.--Helen Hunt,
in WOmanSind.

The Young People.
DAISY PICKING.

A little child, knee-deep in meadow grasses,
Her tiny apron heaped with blooms OF
spring;
Lightly above her head the soft wind
passes,
Sweetly along her way the bluebirds sing.
Quick fly the eager glances, hither, thither,
The little grasping fingers know no
bound;
Already some fair buds begin to wither,
Some softly drop unnoticed to the ground.
No matter now, the world is full of sweet
ness;
Stretches the field before her wide and
gay;
Blithe little heart that knows no incom-
pleteness,
No touch of gloom in all the sunny day.
All, gladly take what springtime brings Of
gladness
Each tender blossomed joy of childhood's $
hour;
For days viii come when, treading slow in
sadness,
Thou may'st search vainly for one way
side flower. Author unknown.

sCOttiah Poets at InverarH CASTLE.

Recent references to the visit Of the
late Lord Tennyson to the Duke of Ar
gyll at Inverary castle recall the fact
that two other poets, Burns and Keats,
also visited the ducal town. The Scot
tish poet was rather unfortunate. Burns
arrived at the local hOstelry at time
when 1t was occupied by large COM
pany of guests of the Dukes, and he
found himself neglected and unknown.
So piqued was the poet that he scratched
on a pane of glass in one of the inn
windows some lines, four of which run:
There's nothing here but Highland pride,
And Highland cauld and hunger,
III Providence has sent me here
Twas surely in His anger
His grace the Duke had the pane re.
moved, and it now forms one of the
curiosities at Inverary castle. Keats
was more fortunate than the Scottish
bard. At the beginning of the century
he found himself invited to the castle,
and was one of the company invited
to witness play in an old hall on the
estate, the players being ladies and
gentlemen of title living at the castle.
Keats was given a front place, and
seemed to have enjoyed the performance
of the histrions until the Dukes pipers
were introduced to supply the entr'acte
music. After listening while to the
strains of the bagpipes he could stand it
no longer, and, having obtained the per-
mission of his host, precipitately re-
tired.-WeStminste Gazette.

We May Have to Burn Water.

There are many speculatiOns as to
what is to be the fuel when coal is ex-
hausted, as some think will happen in a
few years. AS a rule coal is required
to generate electricity. Water power
will do it in certain localities It is be-
lieved that the electric currents in the
air can be utilized, but no very success
full experiments have been made in that
direction. A gentleman prominently
connected with one Of the scientific in
stltutions of the government expressed
his opinion that as we have an abun-
d0nt supply Of water, we will be COM
PEELED to use 1t for fuel. 1t has been
demonstrated that it can be burned, but
practical method must be found. Hy-
drogen and oxygen, the component parts
of water, when separated, furnish plenty
Of fuel. Could we get these gases into
the shape we need the disappearance of
coal mines need not be source Of alarm.
In small way, some stoves have been
made to burn water. If, after building
coal fire, just the right quantity OF
water could be conducted 70 the bed

diplomat, according TO Leslie's Weekly.
Papa CleghOrn will not allow the Primo
ess to talk politics So she says, very
prettIly, Il don't know how long we
will stay in Hawaii It depends on how
the climate agrees with me-" And then
the Princess smiles enchantingly, as
though she referred, perhaps, to the
political climate The Princess is
daughter of a sister of ex-Queen Lii
ioukalani and an American gentleman.
Her mother is dead, and she is the last
Of her line. 1t is said the ex-Queen,
who is very fond of her niece, would
willingly resign all her rights to the
throne If the monarchy could be restored
to Kaiulani. The Princess Is so pretty
and sweet and young that the natives
will Ceratinly adore her, and it is
shrewdly suspected that her return to
the islands at this critical period of
annexation was clever plan devised
by the rOyalists. The young Princess is
but 20. She is sweet and clever girl,
very gentle, and not remarkable for
great strength of character or the
strictly 'royal" attributes. She is not
only good, but amiable, loVable and pop
ular. She has been educated abroad
and is quite a linguist. She Is also
graceful in society, and is quite pretty,
with an olive skin and black hair. She
Is decidedly Hawaiian in appearance
AS her papa is wealthy, it does not
matter especially whether she reigns or
not.

The Cost Of a Boy.
CA Recitation for Boys.

Boys are sometimes troubled to find
a recitation. Here is one furnished the
Advance by L. S. La Nance, of Pine
vile. Mo-:
1t does not take as much money to
live in the country, or in a small town
like this, as it does in the city. read
the other day that it costs $4,000 to
bring up city boy and educate him
and dress him well. said to myself,
THAT is because everything in the city
has to be bought, and living Ia high" "
But began to study the thing, and !
found out that even country boy costs
his parents a good deal.
When you count what a boy eats, and
what he wears, and the school books
he has to have, and the doctor bills that
have to be paid when he gets the
measles or the scarlet fever, he will cost
his folks at least $100 year. guess
if a boy Is pretty bad to smash things,
or to kick his shoes right out, he costs
more than that. So when was q, and
old enough to do for myself, / shall have
cost father more than $4,000.
Mother cooked my victuals, made my
clothes and patched them, washed and
ironed for me, took care OF me when /
was q little fellow and whenever I was
sick, and she never charged anything for
that. II she were dead, and father had
to hire all that done, it would cost him
another 500 year more, and that's
$4,000 worth of work mother will have
done for me by the time l am man.
Four thousand dollars for boy! What
do you think of that!
These are hard times. When parents
put $4,000 into a boy, what have they
a right to expect Of him? Us is fair
for boy to play truant at school? Is
it fair for him to play ball, go in swim
ming, or hang around town all of the
time, when maybe HIS fathers potatoes
are not dug, nor the wood brought In
for his mother? Is it fair for him to
lisappoint them by swearing, smoking
and drinking?

This is a little over Az cents per day
each. Our family consists OF my hus-
band and myself, our little daughter Of
10 years and our son, boy Of 16 years,
who weighs 100 pounds, rides four miles
to school and expects to graduate from
the High school in the spring. He has
husked fifty bushels OF corn on one
Saturday this fall. He husked twenty
five bushels in the forenoon and played
center in a match game Of football be-
tween two High schools in the after
noon. No member OF the family has
eaten a meal other than was cooked from
this list, and one visitor ate one meal
here have made no effort to keep the
table expenses lower than usual, some
times we have more, but often less.
Nothing except the last item in the
list Is estimated. What we did not
buy was weighed or measured, and Is
listed at what 1t would have brought
in the market.
/ know some articles would cost more
in a city, but groceries cost less. We
pay 81 for fifteen pounds Of sugar and
the same for q bushel of apples. The
peaches were home dried, and we like
them better than canned ones. The
cherries were home put up, and are reck-
Oned at what the would have brought,
fresh; the juice was made into jelly for
school lunches. The milk was counted
at what it would have brought at the
creamery, and is very nearly cents
per quart.
This is not for a very poor mans
family, either. My husband owns farm
he would not take $4,000 for; twenty
head of cattle, ten head OF horses,
dozen hogs and nearly 5000 bushels of
corn. He has money in the bank and
does not owe dollar, and yet he often
tells me that | am the most extravagant
woman in the county, though my other
expenses are equally economical.

The Value Of Foreign Missions.

Here is some testimony, taken on
the spot" as to the value OF foreign
missions. 1t Is a clipping from the
Seoul, Korea, Independent:
"Some Eastern papers are very ex-
cellent in every respect as newspapers,
except that they occasionally argue
against the workings OF the missionaries
in the East, on the ground that these
missionaries do not effect much good
for the morals of these people. We are
happy to be able to inform our readers
of one incident which indicates that
Christianity can be accomplished in the
minds Of uncultured, ignorant and un-
charitable people. There Is little ma
tive Presbyterian church in Janguen
district of Whanghai province which
has membership of about one hundred.
They are not under the immediate
charge Of a foreign missionary, but
some foreigners make them OccasiOal
visits. Therefore, the church is entirely
their own organization, governed by
officers of their own number. The peO-
pie of this church contributed over $50
toward the Indian famine fund, which
was recently called for by the Independ-
ent and the Christian News of this city.
Some Of the women members who did
not have money gave their silver hair
pins and rings which were worth, al
together, over 500; making the total
contribution from that church over $50.
We have not received cent OF contri-
button toward the fund from other Ko-
reans. who are far more able to give
their share; but these poor country
people who probably earn dollar for
months hard work, willingly gave their
earnings for the relief of the distressed
people in far-away land, which they
never saw and probably never will see.
The point we desire to make is that
there Is such a vast difference of senti-
ment between the native Christians and
their fellow countrymen. What has
brought this change in the sentiment
OF these people? We cannot help but
come to the conclusion that it is the
influence Of Christianity which makes
them feel the obligation which each man
owes to his fellow creatures, wherever
they may be. We trust that some of
our contemporaries In the East will be
informed of the results of missionary
labor more extensively In the future,
as they will change their opinion"
