II was faVorite saying of Bancroft,
the historian, who was a vigorous old
man at 90, that the secret of long life
is in never losing ones temper The
remark was simply a concrete way of
expressing the hygienic value of anna
bility-a principle which, until lately,
has scarcely been considered in the
training of children. Hitherto we have
regarded fretfulness, melancholy and
bad temper as the natural concomitants
o. illness. But modern science shows
that these mental moods have actual
power to produce disease. No doubt in
most cases imperfect bodily conditions
are the cause of irritable and depressed
feelings. vet sometimes the reverse is
true, and a better knowledge Of physio-
loSscal laws would show them to be
effect rather than cause. The fact that
discontinued and gloomy people are
never in good health is an argument
in favor of the theory that continual
indulgence in unhappy thoughts acts
as a poison and creates some form of
dlsease.-Detroit Free Press.

INDIAN SUNNI Err.

Now brutal winds have ceased to rage
Amid the autumn bowers,
And icy brooks and sOdden fields
Are graves of vanished flowers.
Ger sedEy rill and dreamy glen
A mystic presence hrOods.
And vague and unimagned sounds
Invade the sohtudes.
The clouds that dot the heavenly meads
Like spectcrs flee away
And fish within the sluggish tarns,
Might now be heard to play.
No butterfly is on the wing,
No crickets sing or leap,
And in the weird and tender light
The languid valleys sleep.
Before the blaze the farmer basks,
From harvest toll set free;
And in the wood the squirrel peeps
From out the hollow tree.
While one complains of scanty yield,
With all his barns aglut,
The other. in his messy lodge,
COntented, cracks a nut.
-whistIing quails still haunt the field
Where late the waving grain
Upreared its myriad golden spears
The glory of the plain
Along the rOohess woodland isles
The robin family calls;
And monkish rabbits leap and stare
At every leaf that falls.
Now forests CLEAN through amber mists,
Like pilgrims gray and old;
And cliffs and barren hills are changed
To temples rooted with gold.
Each morn doth seem a Sibyls dream
And when the days expire,
The west is filled with phantom ships,
That sail on seas of fire.
But soon the rufTian winds will take
The CedarS by the throat:

when the lungs are attacked and the
symptoms of consumption appear, then
begins the struggle between affection and
that destroying disease which Stays its
thousands annually. 1t is a happy issue
to the struggle when disease is conquered
and health restored. Such an issue does
not always end the struggle, but II did in
the case of MI. X. Morris, Memphis, Tenn,
who saw his wife wasting and weak eniug
and physicians helpless, and then sug-
gested the simple remedy that wrought
the cure. He tells the story thus:
Seven years ago, my wife had severe
attack of lung trouble which the ply
sicians pronounced consumption. The
cough was extremely distressing, espe.
cially at night, and was frequently
attended with the splitting of blood. The
doctors being unable to help her I in,
duced her to try Or. Ayers Cherry Pectoral
and was surprised at the great relief II
gave. Before using one whole bottle She
was cured s. mat now she IS strong and

Heroine.
The story of Virginia Ghesquiere, the
French heroine. who was decorated
with the Order of the Legion of Honor
for distinguished bravery during one
of the campaigns Of the French army
in Spain, is graphically told by Emile
Cere in his history of Madame Sans
Gene ct Les Fommes Soldats.'
In the CONSUMPTION Of 1906 young
man by the name of Ghesquiere was en-
listed among the forced recruits of the
department of the Haut-Rhin. The

and hardships of war. Realizing the
physical incapacity of her twin brother,
whom she very closely rcsembled. the
brave and unselfish sister, Virginia. de-
cided to take his place in the ranks.
With the courage Of a high and noble
motive, Virginia Ghesquiere begged her
parents to allow her TO do for France
what her brothers. i'll health rendered
it impossible for him to do and 50 ear
nestly did the young patriot plead that
she won their consent.
Downing her brothers apparel. the
intrepid girl presented herself at the

whose duty it was to enroll the re-
