quantities. and where pine forests were chopped
down and the wood hauled to the glasshouses,
where the sand upon which the wood grew was
mixed and melted and made into glass.
All this section of NewJcrsey was overgrown
with forests upon mostly barren soil. and though
there was a teoming population which suhsisted

COWARD AND CAPTAIN
Fright Kills One and High Resolve
Saves the Other.

A story is told of cowardly fellow ly-
ing behind a stump during an engage
ment, when a bullet knocked a chip from
a stone near by.
The chip struck him in the forehead,
scarcely breaking the skin. The frighten-
cd fellow cried out that he was fatally
wounded and rolled over in a faint from
which he never came out.
A captain near by was found to/have
eight bullet wounds. and when told in the
hospital that he couldn't get well. ex-
claimed: Yes. will; give me good food
and little time to rest. and by all the
powers I'll be out OF here. My little
children need me. and I would be cow
ard to die and leave them helpless" He
got well. and is hale old man today,
and his children haven't forgotten him.
Mark the fact that the mind in the cow
ards case stopped the machinery of life
and the mind in the captains case kept
the machinery going, when skilled ply
sicians said it must stop.
Man becomes a God when the mind
mounts to the high altitude OF high re-
solve, and by some occult process he, at
that time. takes unto himself some of the
power Of the Infinite.
Let one apply this power when aches
and ails Of body threaten to overcome.
It is a most valuable agent for good
health. One should. however. combine
good food with a good mind. and IL ails
OF any kind press their claims day BY
day. heed the protests Of Nature before
some incurable disease sets up in the
body.
One Of the first and most important
steps TO good health is 70 abandon the use
OF coffee. for it saps the vitality at the

PEAU DE SOLE.

Dressmakers are still recommending the
very handsome peau de sole silks to those
who do not fancy the solid garish lustre
of satin. Peau de sole has rich half lights
on its surface, and the silk is twilled,
making it more durable than satin or
many kinds of silk. These beautiful fab
RIGS come in many lovely tints in monoc-
hrome, in novel chameleon effects, in
Powered designs, and also in many fancy
devices appropriate for bodice accessor
