We resent ealamny, hypocrisy and treachery because they harm us, not be. cause they are untrue Take the derac. tion and the mischief from tho untruth, and we are little offended by it. Turn it into praise, and we may be pleased with it. And yet it is not calamny and treaehery that do the largest sum of mischief in the world. They are contin. ually crushed and are felt only in being conquered. But it is the glistea;ng and softly spoken lie, lhe amiable fallacy. the patriotic he of the historian, the prevalent lie of the politician, tho zeal, GUS lie of the partisan. the mereiful lie of the friend and the careless lie of each man to himself that east that black mystery over humanity through which we thank any man who piefees. as we would thank one who dag well in T desert.

Hot weather dyspepsia may be recognized by the following symp- toms: Depression of spirits, heayi- ness and pain fn the stomach after meals, loss of flesh and appetite, no desire for food. bad taste in the mouth, especially in the morning, wind in the stomach and bowels, Irritable disposition, nervous weak ness. weariness, coatiVeness, heaa- ache, palpitation, heartburn. l is mistake to treat such troubles with tonies, blood purifiers .Qthar- ties, pills, because tkes as1,'' z, ., esss,-s' -, ;str flo zssais4-ess.whole trouble

 All these symptoms rapidly disap, pear when tile stomach is relieved, strengthened, and cleaned byStuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They should bH taken after meals and q few carried in the pocket to be used whenever any pain or distress is felt in the stomach. They are prepared only for stomach troubles.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are endorsed by such physicians as Drs Harlandson, .Iennison and Mayer, because they contain the natural di- gestiye acids and fruit essences which when taken into the stomach cause the prompt digestion of the food be- fore 1t has time to ferment and sour, which is the cause of the mischief,

ITO worknaen.

Tho following story from Wide Awake IS not new, but it's truth is youched for, and it's lesson is so clearly taught and so important that it is worth repeating:
 Two men once stood at the same table in large factory in Philadelphia. Hav ing an honr for their incoming every day, each undertook to use 1t in accomplish- ing definite purpose; each persevered for about the same number of months, and each won success at last.
 One used his daily leisure hour in working out the invention of machine for saving block of wood into almost any desired shape When his invention was complete, he sold the patent for a fortune.
 The other man, what did he do: Well, he spent an hour each day during most of the year ill the very difficult task of teaching little dog to stand on it's hind feet and dance jig. To be sure he succeeded, but what then? At last accounts he was working ten hours day at the same trade and at his old wages, blaming his luck for the hard fate that kept him poor, while his fel. low workman had become rich.

Hints on Gliding.

Gold paint and bronzes play an impor
tant part in many forms of home decora-
ton. In fact they are Indispensable where
rich effects are desired, and where the
somberness of a room or its furniture
needs to be relieved by bright contrasts.
Yet there is often much difficulty expert
enced in applying them in such a manner
that the surface especially in gliding, will
not present a streaked appearance when
dry. For this reason 1t is in many case.
desirab BILE to purchase the metallic paints by
the ounce, or at least apart from tho medi
um which accompanies them, when small
quantity both of the powder and medium
are put up together in box, with brush
ETC., ready for use, according to the diTeC
tions for mixing. 1t Is this mixing o
paint and medium, however, which is ofte;
the foundation of the trouble, though pos
sibly the medium as prepared could be
used in no other way.
BE that as it may, the most satisfactory
method is the one TO be preferred, and i
has been found that in gliding anythin,

ton, perfect surface may be obtained b,
first giving the object smooth coat o

Childhood Appetite,

The appetite of a child is quite as sus-
ceptiblo of education in both right and II
wrong direction as are its mental or moral
faculties, and parents, in whose hands this
education mainly rests, should give the
subject careful consideration, since upon It
the future health and usefulness of their
children not little devolve. We should
all be rulers of our appetites instead of sub
ject to them, but whether this be SO or not
depends greatly upon early dietetic train
ing Many loving mother by thought
less Indulgence of her child in season and
out of season, in daintics and tidbits that
simply serve to crafty the palate, is foster
ing a Glove of Appetite which may ruin
her child In years to come. There are in
herited appetites and tendencies, it is true,
but even these may be largely overcome by
careful early training in right ways of eat
ing and drinking. 1t is possible to teach
very young children to use such food as is
best for them and to refrain from the eat
ing of things harmful, and it should be
one of the first concerns of every mother tC
