Needs and Wants.

There is great difference between
them. The wants of most people are
many and complex. Their real needs
are much fewer and often very simple.
If one wishes for peace of mind and
any great measure of success in this
world, he must learn to reduce his
wants as nearly as possible to necessary
things. 1t is not at all essential that a
person be rich, but many people wish
to be and make haste to be. The result
is anxiety and oftentimes loss of integ-
rity, and failure to reach the real needs
of ones being. Happiness never lies in
satisfaction of our wants, because these
ever become greater as we try to satisfy
them. 'Contentment is better than
wealth" and quiet spirit which trusts
God to supply all our needs and pa
tiently performs the daily task in sweet
thankfulness for mercies received is a
richer heritage than broad acres and
wealth in goods.

DRIFTED TO MARRIAGE.
West Virginia Couple Travelled Many Miles
on Flatboat to Wed.

Charles n Matthews and Lizzie M.
Townsend took part of their wedding
tour before marriage. They lived at Hun
tington, w Va, and as they lacked the
necessary funds for marrying there, they
decided to go to Jacksonville, Ind, where
they understood marriages were as free as
air. So they set out on iatboat to drift
down the Ohio river. Occasionally they
stopped and worked few days i'm order
to obtain funds to buy food and then they
continued their journey.
They finally reached Jeffersonville, their
clothing in the meantime having been
nearly worn out Once in Jeffersonville.
they went to the courthouse where they
were told that license was necessary and
that 1t would cost So They did not have
this amount and the bride was nearly
broken hearted.
Sympathetic bystanders raised the funds
necessary to secure the needed license,
Squire George Hall donated his services
and soon Mr.. and Mrs Charles Matthews
returned to their flatboat and started down
the river in search of work, as happy as
many more prosperous lovers have been

Two Anecdotes.

Who does not know the "copper"
horse" at Windsor - that equestrian
statue at the end of the long walk, to
which land back again) the local Lyman
always offers to drive the tourist? The
queen was entertaining a great man,
who in the afternoon walked from the
castle to Cumberland lodge. At dinner
her majesty, full as always, of gracious
solicitude for the comfort of her guests,
said, II hope you were not tired by
your long WALK" "Oh, not at all,
thank you, ma am. l got lift as far
back as the copper horse. !" :" AS far as
what?" inquired her majesty, in evil
dent establishment "Oh, the copper
horse, at the end of the long walk. I"
That's not copper horse. That's my
grandfather. -

Nobility.

True worth is in being, not seeming:
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good, not in the dreaming
OF great things to do by and by.
For whatever men say in blindness
And spite Of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as kindness
And nothing 30 loyal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure
We cannot do wrong and feel right,
Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure,
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing Of the sparrow,
The bush for robin and wren,
But always the path that is narrow
And straight for the children Of men.
IT'S not in the pages OF story
The heart Of it's ills to beguile,
Though he who makes courtship to glory
Gives all that he hath for her smile,
For when from her heights he has won her
Alas, IL is only to prove
That nothing's so sacred as honor
And nothing so loyal as Lowell
Through envy. through malice. through
hating,
Against the world early and late,
No jot Of our courage abating,
Our part il to work and to wait.
And slight Is the sting Of his trouble
Whose winnings are less than his worth
For he who Is honest is noble,
Whatever his fortunes or birth.

pwarnns From Harsh Environments.

In Limousin there is barren range
of low hills which lies along the diyid-
ing line between the departments Of
Dordogne, Correze and Haute- Vienne,
about half way between Perigueux and
Limoges. The water courses show the
location of these uplands They extend
over an area about rs miles long and
half as wide, wherein average human
misery is most profound. Dense igno-
rance prevails. There is more illiteracy
than in any other part OF France. The
contrast in stature. even with the low
average of all the surrounding region,
Is clearly marked by the dark tint.
There are sporadic bits of equal diminu-
tiveness elsewhere TO the south and
west, but none is so extended or so ex-
treme. Two-thirds Of the men are be-
low feet 3 inches in height in some OF
the communes, and the women are three
OF more inches shorter even than this.
One man in ten is below feet / l inches
in stature.
This is not due TO race, for several
racial types are equally stunted in this
way within the same area 1t is pri.
marily due to generations of subsection
to a harsh climate, to soil which is
worthless for agriculture, to a steady
diet of boiled chestnuts and stagnant
water and TO insanitary dwellings in
the deep, narrow and damp valleys.
Still further proof may be found to
show that these people are not stunted
by any hereditary influence. for it has
been shown that children born here,
but who migrate and grow mp else
where, are normal in height, while
those born elsewhere, but who are sub
ject TO this environment during the
growing period of youth, are proper
tionately dwarfed. - Popular Science

Teeth FILLED with Glass.

The latest use for glass is instead Of
gold as material for stopping decayed
teeth. 1t answers splendidly and is far
less conspicuous than the yellow metal.
OF course it is not ordinary glass, but is
prepared by some new patented process
which renders it soft and malleable.
Glass, too, is being extensively used
for church bells. 1t can be toughened
so that there is no risk of its cracking
and the tone is said to be, beyond any
thing yet invented, perfect, soft and So
norous
The color of this new bell glass is a
deep rich green. -Philadelphia Record.
