UNABLE TO RETURN THE COMPLI-
MENT.-A Yorkshire farmer was asked
to the funeral of a neighbor's third
wife, and as he had attended the
funerals of the two others, his own
wife was rather surprised when he
declined this invitation. On being
pressed, he gave his reason with some
hesitation:
"Well, thee sees, lass, it makes a
chap feel bit awkward like to be
allus accepting other folks civiilties,
when he never has nowt O. T. sooart OF

WORRY Worry is f0retnouSnt gone
to seed. Worry is discounting posi-
BILE future sorrows 80 that the individ-
ual may have present misery. Worry
is the father of insomnia. Worry is
the traitor in our camp that dampens
our powder, weakens our aim. Under
the guise of helping us to bear the
present and to be ready for the future
worry multiplies enemies within our
mind to sap our strength.
Worry is the dominance of the mind
by single, vague, restless, unsatisfed,
fearing and fearful idea. The mental
energy and force that be concentrated
on the successive duties of the day is
constantly and surrepitiously abstract
ed and absorbed by this one fixed idea.
The full, rich strength of the uncon-
scious working of the mind, that
which produces our best success, that
represents our finest activity, is tap
ped, led away and wasted on worry.
Worry must not be confused with
anxiety, though both words agree in
meaning originally, "choking," or a
"strangling," referring, of course, to
the throttling effect upon individual
activity. Anxiety faces large issues
of life seriously, calmly, with dignity.
Anxiety always suggests hopeful pos.
sibllity; it is active in being ready and
devising measures to meet the out
come. Worry is not one large indi'
vidual sorrow; it is a colony of petty,
vague, insignificant, restless imps oi
fear, that become important only from
their combination, their constancy,
their iteration.-EX.

A Sad Case Of Ruin Coming Through
Temporary Success in Race
Track Gambling.

This is the saddest case of ruin com
Ing from success. that [ ever heard Of,
and the fact that the result not only
brought desolation on the person him
self, but upon his whole family, makes
the instance especially sad, says Lon
don Answers.
lie was the only son Of prosperous
provision merchant, and, with be-
ginner's luck, won some hundreds Of
pounds on the turf. Ela;ed by his sue
cess, he Glanced larger sums, lost all
he had Won, and, in vain attempt to
recoup himself, took some Of the money
collected from his fathers customers.
Shortly afterward his father accident
ally discovered that large account
which was owing to hiu1 had been PAID
TO his son and not accounted for. In
quiry was made, and it was found that
the outstanding accounts did not
amount to as many pence as there
should have been pounds; and in addi-
ton, wholesale firms who were sup
posed to have been paid by the son
had received nothing. The whole had
gone in fruitless efforts to "back win
ners."
The result was that, after so years
trading, the business was broken up,
and the father, mother and sisters Of
this unfortunate man were reduced to
extreme poverty.

THE GREAT CORN STATES.
Enormous Crops Raised in the Mid
die West and the Prices
Realized.

The great corn states, according to
the statistics Of last yean writes John
Gilmer Speed, in Ainslae's, are in the
order named, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska
Missouri, Kansas, Indiana, Texas and
Ohio. Each of these states grew in cx-
cess of 100, 100000 bushels while the to-
tai of Iowa was 254.99o.S5O bushels.
This year we are promised from Kansas
alone in excess OF 35O,0OO,o0O bushels
Montana, among the new states, grew
the smallest amount of corn last wear
and Rhode Island among the old states.
In Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, North Da-
kota, Montana, Wyoming and Washing
ton all of the corn grown was con
sumed at home, practically none of it
being transported beyond the county
in which it was produced. The other
states, according to the amount grown,
shipped corn to other parts of the coun-
try and abroad. In price the corn on
the farms realized all the way from
66 cents a bushel in Montana to % cents
in Iowa, the general average through
out the country being 2s TO cents per
bushel. In 1887 this general average
was 26 $40 cents; in 1896 it was 81 ST
cents: in 1895 it was Is $40 cents, and in
1894 it was As TO cents. In the latter
year (1so4) the production was short,
being somewhat more than 20 per cent
less than last year.

physic. OF Air and sunshine.

In the Temple Bar Rev. Mr.. Bacon
says that the best preventives of dis
ease are cleanliness and the access of
sunlight and fresh air as being the
agents most powerful in the suppress
sion of bacteria. Large towns in Brit
ain have each their true west end, for
the western and southern winds being
those that mostly prevail there, it fol
lows that during large portion of the
year the smoke and fog drift away to
the east and northeast, leaving the west
clearer and purcr. The writer claims
British weather is a once the most
capricious and at the same time the
best adapted to vigorous and healthful
enjoyment of life. The Briton is stran-
ger to the long ordeal Of unvarying
southern skies, the breath Of pestilcn-
tial air, and the stroke Of sun or aguc.
The face and physique Of the typical
Britisher is the true weather mark Of
his climate.

THE REDOUTABLE BLACKWELL.
A Little Shlver of Excitement
Floats Over his Town.

1t was reported some days since
that A. j. Blackwell, of Chelsea,
Daved. and Blackwell, had been
"knocking the black OUT again
with his fowling-piece, but it ap-
pears to have been somewhat of a
fake story, emanating from that
home Of all the fakes, Wichita.
The facts, as finally ascertained
are that a man was borrowing
lumber from Colonel Blackell, /,
with his permission, he claimed,
was asked to desist by the colonel.
The man did not desist and Col
onel Black well got out his gun and
fred in the air as warning and
the man, in running, stumbled
and fell. That was the end of the
affair, except that the officers
rushed upon Colonel Blackwell
and he fingered his shotgun and
made speech before surrender.
ing. Having surrendered, he ex-
planned the affair and half-hour
later was as busy as ever supeyin-
tending the erection of his mag
ni6cient opera house. The story
sent from Wichita said that Col
onel Blackwell had been thrown
into deep, dank dungeon, that
log chains, aggregating 507 pounds
in weight had been tied around
his legs, and that armed guard:
stood at the door OF the dungeon
with leveled bayonets and so on
to the end of the book.
