Umbrellas.

Umbrellas should always be set to
dry, open, with handle on floor. If al
lowed to dry shut up the moisture
stands so long at the top it rots the
silk and rusts the wires. Do not keep
an umbrella in its case or rolled when
in the house, as the silk, thus tightly
creased, soon cuts into holes. In roll
ing up an umbrella for its case grasp
the ends Of the frame rods tightly
with one hand near the handle and
roll from the opposite end with the
other hand; unless the frame is thus
held in place, it is twisted and loos-
ened in the rolling process.

Safe Qualification.

A young woman was recently asked
by q young man to become his wife.
He was bright fellow and was ac-
cepted in general society because of
the wealth and official position of his
father, but his habits were known to
be bad. There were no evasions in
her answer. "You tell me-" she said,
that l possess qualities that you
must have in the woman who is your
wife. cannot say that have then
but I can speak of habits that l do not
have, and that / could not accept in q
husband who did have them. l do
not smoke. / never swear. l do not
indulge in wine. l am not in debt.
Not a moment of my nights is spent
with questionable associates, and my
days are not given to idleness or to
walking the streets with silly, un-
thinking girls. Most women avoid
the indulgences 1 have mentioned,
and do not welcome them in men who
ask to become their husbands. As
you have them, or most of them, am
not willing to become your wife. l
am sure nothing but wretchedness
could follow from such = union"
The answer was sharp and decisive.
1t is 81 pity all girls under the same
circumstances are not as frank and
sensible.

For Players and Typewriters.

In this age of wear and tear on the
nerves anything to save them from
shock is great help. Scientists have
invented a rubber thimble to protect
the fingers in piano playing and type
writing. The tips of the fingers are
not only nerve.centers. but one of the
most sensitive parts OF the body. Con.
sequently the finger nerves receive
many severe shocks in practicing or
type-writing. The new thimbles are
made of rubber, to fit the ends of the
fingers like gloves, and will lessen the
shock to the nerve centers. The speed
also is increased 10 per cent. by their
use. 1t is certain that the ends of the
fingers are kept from becoming cal.
lous and the nails from splitting.

Pure Water a Poison.
National Druggist,

By "chemically pure water" we
usually understand perfectly fresh,
distilled water. Distilled water is a
dangerous protoplasmic poison. The
same poisonous effects must occur
whenever distilled water is drunk.
The sense of taste is the first to pro-
test against the use of this substance.
A mouthful Of distilled water taken by
inadvertence. will be spit out regularly.
The local poisonous effect of distilled
water makes itself known by all the
symptoms of catarrh Of the stom-
ach on u small scale. The harmful
ness of the process, so much resorted
to-day, of washing out the stomach
with distilled water is acknowledged.

Great Wealth Of Nesros.

Negros is ranked among the eleven
largest islands in the Philippine archi-

1900 square miles. The total popula-
ton, according to the latest Spanish
statistics, is 204,969.
Negros lies parallel to Cebu, and Is
separated from that island by "a strait
about fifteen miles wide. The largest
town in Negros are Jimamaylan, Du'
maguete, Bats and Bacolod. The last
named is the administrative centre.
Considering its size, Negros is re-
garded by some authorities as the rich

The White Mans Burden.

On account of the extraordinary In
terest in Rudyard kipllng's lates
poem. "The White Mans Burden,
relating to American expansion, W
print the poem in full:
Take up the White Mans Burden
Send forth the best ye breed
Go, bind your sons to exile
To serve your captive's need
To wait. in heavy harness,
ON futtered folk and wild
Your new caught sulen peoples.
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Mans burden
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride:
By open speech and simple.
An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit
And work another's gain.
Take up the White Mau's burden
The savage wars of peace
Fill full the mouth of Famine.
Ard bid The sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
(The end for others sOughD
Watch sloth and heather folly
Bring all your hope to nought.
Take up the White Mans burden
No iron rule of kings,
But toll of serf aud sweeper
The tale of common things
The ports ye shall not enter.
The roads re shall not tread.
Go. make them with your living
Aud mark them with your dead.
Take up the White Mans burden,
And reap his old reward,
The blame Of those ye better
The hate Of those ye guard
The cry of hosts ye humor
(Ah slowly toward the light:
"why brought ye us from bondage.
Our loved Egyptian night"
Take up the White Mans burden
Ye dare not stOOp to less
Nor call too loud for Freedom
To cloak your weariness,
By all ye will or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.
Take up the White Mans burden!
Have done with childish days
The lightly proffered laurel,
The easy, ungrudged praise;
Comes now to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold edged with dear. bought wisdom
The judgment Of your peers.

THE slow tapping of a butterfly's

THE slow Tapping of a butterhy's

duced which increases with the num-

Now the critics have begun their
technical discussion of the late war,
and some of them superciliously de-
clare that it taught us little in its
progress or in its effects that is Of
value. These facts, at least, contra
dict the assertion. 1t taught us that
we are again a nation, united as one
man. 1t taught other nations that in
armed conflict, as we'll as in industrial
competition, we are to be reckoned a
serious factor. And it has again
shown our people the often-taught but
never fully learned lesson that war is
wasteful, cruel and abhorrent.
