A SUCCESSFUL MAN.

Zone of the most successful men l
ever knew never had thousand dol
lars ahead in his life," says Senator
Mason. He had no aptitude for
making money, yet he continually
tried to. During financial panics and
failures, he kept his spirit unchanged
and unbroken. He never held an Of
fee of any kind in his life. Litiga-
ton he avoided wholly. He never in
duleed in controversies. He had as
few acquaintance, I think, as any
man ever knew. regarded him as
successful because he was always
cheerful, industrious and temperate,
always thoughtful of those about him,
and, in matter of conviction, was abb
solutely fearless. To others he gave
the same liberty of thought that he
demanded for himself. His motto
was: Principle, not expediency.
When he died he left barely enough to
pay for his funeral expenses, and yet
/ maintain that he was successful.
His conscientious life was an exam
pie to others. He was generous to a
fault, and certainly would have died
in better circumstances if he had not
been. The dollar mark is not the
stamp of success. You may attain
far greater success than that and leave
much larger legacy"

In his buttonhole, while Mrs. Ray
nor, to the surprise and disapproval
OF her daughters, had put aside her
mourning and wore her gray silk and
a new gray bonnet with white flowers

met the sisters, and Hannah said
sharply:

back through a cloud of dust, "You

FUNERAL FEES AND FUNERAL CUSTOMS

Very few people stop to think how
much time and labor is required to
conduct funeral successfully. Most
preachers agree that of all sermons the
funeral sermon is the most difficult to
prepare as well as to preach. Grant
ing one day for the preparation of the
sermon, and one for the funeral, two
days of the preachers time are con-
stunned, for which he often never re-
ceives a thank you."
There should be change i'll the
way funeral arrangements are made.
In this part of the country the pastor
is the last person consulted by many
who have the arrangement of funerals.
The day and hour is set, the notices
are sent out to the relatives far and
near and then some one is sent to
look after the preacher, who as some
think has nothing to do and can come
at any time. How often it happens
that he is already engaged for fu-
neral or wedding on the very day
set for the funeral. The funeral is
often set for Sunday. hope we will
soon be delivered from Sunday funer-
ais. Only in extreme cases of neces-
sity should funeral be held on a
Sunday. In such events the pastor
must get a substitute to take his
place and pay his expenses at least.
Substitutes are hard to get, as a rule,
besides the disarranging of the pas
tors plans to hold some special ser
vice or to preach upon special sub
ject.
There is an old custom of keeping
on the hats" by the male relatives.
1 Corinthians XII. a, says Every man
praying or prophesying, having his
head covered ,dishonoureth his head"
If there is any time when men should
take off their hats it is in the house
of God when God lays His hand upon
them in bereavement and sorrow. To
keep on the hat in the house of God
is irreverent to say the least, no mat
ter under what circumstances.
Making big dinners on funeral oc-
casions does not seem to harmonic
with sorrow and bereavement. To
provide lunch for such relatives and
friends who come long way and who
cannot return in time for meals is all
right, but to have the immediate COM
munity turn out for dinner after the
funeral is not right.
For whole church filled with peo-~
pie to remain to see chow hard the
friends take it, is very embarrassing
to those who mourn. Let the people
go out and leave the friends alone
with their dead few minutes.
Lastly, let the undertaken do the
directing of the funeral. 1t is part
of his business. The preacher should
not be expected to arrange the rela-
rives in their places. Let him do the
heaD1 Sentinel.

HARDENING CHILDREN.

The old process of hardening chill
dren was to turn them out at an early
age to endure hardships of nature
that would disturb parent of today,
and the revival of the system is some
times now recommended by apparent
authority. The cold bath, for in
stance, has been spoken SO highly of
for young children that some mothers
adopt it regularly, with little or no
modification to suit physical and ner-
vous conditions. Such a policy is
more apt to produce permanent weak
nesses than good health. A child
can be hardened the same as a tree or
horse, and that is by taking the very
best care of it. Make the child grow,
keep it from disease, and it will de-
velop into a man or woman that will
resist disease easily. There are peo-
pie who can stand the cold plunge
every morning, but very few children
can. Nothing more than a cold
sponge bath should be given to any
small child, and even this should be
stopped if the little one does not seem
able to stand it. As substitute for
the cold morning bath, good rubbing
down each day with coarse towel
will accomplish nearly as good re-
suits. Almost any child can bear
this in a room that is heated to nor
NAL temperature, and if kept up,
summer and winter, it will prevent
many colds.
Keep children out of doors and in
the sunshine all that it is possible,
but on rainy and damp days they will
be better off in the house. The at
mosphere on damp days is charged
with poisonous microbes and gases
that do more harm than good. If
one adds to this wet feet, cold, a
touch of malaria, or chills and fever
may be the result. Natures tonics
are to be found in pure air and sun
shine. Let children bask in these all
they can. and they should harden
themselves without any artificial at
tempts to do it. Weak and sickly
children need special attention paid to
their clothing and food. Let cloth
ing next to the skin always be of
wool. Frequent rubbings OF the skin
will help to keep the pores of the body
open, and sometimes an application
of olive or cod liver oil will be of
great benefit. The body absorbs the
oil, which provides nourishment to
the whole system. A person unable
to eat or digest any kind Of food can
be nourished for months on a daily
bath in either of these oils. This
goes to show how much value outside
application of oil is to sickly children.
After the body has been rubbed thor
oughly with the oil, let it have
chance to dry in, and then all the sur
plus can be wiped off. This will pre-
vent any disagreeable odor and stickl-
ness.-A. S. AtkinSon, M. d., IN

FACTS ABOUT FISH.

Fish, as rule, increase in weight
and length every year up to their
death. There are several varieties of
fish that cannot swim they are deep
sea dwellers, and crawl about the
rocks, using their tails and fins as
legs.
Why fish are slippery is accounted
for in this way: The Shiny coating
protects them from the attacks of
fungus, form of plant life found in
all waters. If a fish is uncovered by
giiisws 5inIIf, IN rIme, 1t Kills rne nsn.:
The slime helps also to increase the
speed of the fish through the water,
says writer in the St. LouiS Globe
Democrat.
In order to capture certain fish,
a South American tribe whips the
water with the wood of a tree which
contains a substance having a mar
cotic influence on the fish, which are
then easily caught. One South
American fish, the anableps, star
gazer, can see in air as we'll as in the
water. Its eyes are divided into an
upper and a lower portion, giving
the effect of two pupils in each eye,
one suited for seeing in the air, and
the other for seeing in the water.
The fish often swims at the surface
with its head sometimes above, some
ha1ovv the xyafer line
There is wonderful fish in Alaska,
which, when dried, is used as a can
die. The Alaskan inserts the tail of
the dried fish in crack of his rough,
wooden table and lights its nose.
The fish burns with a bright and
steady flame of about three candle
power, giving clear, white light and
considerable heat. A fairly large fish
will burn about three hours. The
fish is very fat, and its vetebrae are
formed largely of phosphorus thus
the fat is the tallow and the vetebrae
the wick of this curious candle. If
necessary it can be eaten afterward,
being nicely smoked.
The pollock is severely let alone
by its inny brethren, for it is armed
to the teeth with a formidable sting
and sac of poison. The lake lam
prey of Central New York is another
fish which is ferocious and blood
thirsty. Its mouth is bigger than its
head and its teeth are sharp and point
ed, like tigers. The brook lamprey
has never been known to eat at all.
1t is supposed that he does all his eat
ing before he becomes real lamprey
in the larva period-and is never
hungry afterward.
People marvel at the mechanism oi
the human body, with its near SOC
bones, but man is simple in this re.
spect compared with the carp, which
moves no fewer than 1886 bones and
muscles every time it breathes. II
has 4,82o veins, to say nothing of its
nine-nine musles. There is one fish
that has brain larger than mans
the whale.

A LITTLE TOO HOT.

Little Janet, aged 4, noticed the
other day. at dinner the rest of the
family helping themselves literally to
the mustard. Nobody offered her
any, she waited until something drew
away the attention of the others, when
she lifted the mustard spoon, liberal
ly daubed piece of bread with it and
took a great bite. Her hand imme-
diately went up to her burned mouth !;
but, bravely suppressing an outcry,
she put the bread down and remark
ed: "I think I'll wait till that jelly
gets cold"

HOW TO BE FAMOUS.

Do something that no other cares to do,
Say something that no other cares to say,
And the busy world will go to watching you.
And your name will be in headlines every day
Never mind the sneers,
Close your eyes to jeers,
Call yourself a prophet or come forward as O
clown;
Roar and rant around,
Anything for sound
Start another hubbub and the world can't keep
you down.
Roll a tub around and play Diogenes,
Go to scolding people-curse them now and
then;
Such mighty proofs of genius as these
Are the things that make celebrities of men.
Close your ears to jeers,
Never mind the sneers
of the ones who call you rogue or fool or bore
Try to be unique!
Genius or freak
Neither worse nor better than the other any

GRAB A ROOT.

This life is a stream with current so strong
That the braver ones only can breast
The ever swift tide that leads up to success
There is scarcely moment for rest.
And muscle and brain, backed by resolute will
And courage that knows no defeat
Must be called into play if you'd rise to the head,
Where the waters of triumph are sweet.
Some breast the full tide with true masterful
strokes,
And though their advance may be slow,
Cease not their exertions to keep them afioat.
While others less energy show,
And are borne down by the stream. No one ever
should faint
When dim grows hopes hickering star
If you cannot swim further against the swift
tide,
Grab a root and hold on where you are.

some extent from the depredatione of
the former one, he determined to try
the new boys honesty at once. He
therefore placed five dollar note un-
der weight on his desk and walked
out without a word. Upon his re-
turn, about half an hour later, the
note was gone and half dollar
in silver had taken its place. Boy,
when went out 1 left S. under this
