SAGE ADVICE OF A FATHER.
Hints that May Be of Value to Young
Men Starting Out in Life.

Hints that May Be of Value to Young
Men Starting Out in Life.
"My son." said the fond but wise
parent, you are leaving me to go out
into the world. 1 have nothing to give
you but advice. Never tell lie. If
you wish to put one in circulation get
it published. A lie cannot live, but it
takes one a blamed long time to fade
out of print.
Always read your contract. A man
might consider he was getting a sine
cure if he were offered position pick
ing blossoms off a century plant, but,
you see, he wouldn't have a remunera-
tive occupation if he were paid on
piecework.
BE not overcritical. Even the most
ordinary sort of a genius can tell when
the other fellow is making a fool of
himself.
Remember that the young man, like
the anglers worm, is rather better for
being visibly alive.
BE careful in the choice of your sur
reundings. Environment will do a
great deal for q man. For example,
flour and water in a china jug is cream
sauce; in pail on the sidewalk it is
billstickers paste.
Don't forget that there's a time for
everything, and that everything should
be done in its proper time. Never hunt
for bargains in umbrellas on a rainy
day.
You may make enemies. If you
knowwho they are don't mention them.
Silence is golden; it saves the money
that, might otherwise be spent in de-
Tending a libel suit. If you don't know
who they are-well, abuse lavished on
a concealed enemy is like charity in
discriminatory bestowed. It's a good
thing wasted. New York CONNER
cial Advertiser.

earthly bastile. Mount Carroll Is high,
but the Jail is several pegs higher.
Around the town winds the Wauka-
rusa River. One may step aside from
a main street and look down a sheer
descent of several hundred feet into the
lazy stream. One of the streets ended
at the brink of this steep bank. The
city fathers thought it would be a
good idea to blockade the avenue by
erecting a town building on the edge
of the jagged palisade. 1t would not
only serve to keep careless people
from pitching over the brink, but could
be utilized as a Jail, in which trivial
offenders could be held.
1t so happened, however, that the
structure was made to block up the
premises of citizen. The big boX-like
affair presented a broadside to the
citizens front door. 1t was so near
that an imprisoned tobacco tiend could
from an open window eXpectorate over
on the stoop floor. The town was
threatened with a damage suit if it did
not take the thing away forthwith.
There was only one thing to do, and
that was to move the Jail over the
precipice and set it on stills. About
fifty feet below is a rocky ledge fifteen
feet wide. A framework of props was
set on this ledge, and this was sur
mounted by the window grated box.
From one of the windows to the muddy
Waukarusa Is a downlook capable of
appalling the heart of the most hard
ened hobo in the land. 1t is a con-
slant fear that the high winds, which
have a habit of prevailing in Mount
Carroll, will move the structure from
its equilibrium and topple it over into
the abyss. The fiimsy contrivance, set
up there on pegs, looks as though a
single blast of old boreas would unset
tie it. or still worse, a twister take it
up and whirl it off the earth.
The unique excuse for a Jail and its
terrifying location has served the town
well. Until the expected takes place
and the shaky box tumbles down the
cliff no observing rambling Rufus will
risk being shut up in it for a single
night

Any charitable enterprise which COM
bines business and benevolence has
something in its favor. If it also
raises funds without burdening the
donors, and in addition offers the ex-
element Of bargain sale and the joys
of an old curiosity shop, it becomes
unique, and cannot long hide its light
under a bushel. The "rummage sale"
has all these characteristics. 1t may
be that the Ladies' Aid Society desires
to recarpet the vestry. A committee
calls upon all the women in the church
to ''rummage" their attics, storerooms
and closets, and to contribute every
thing for which they no longer have
use. The articles are then sent to some
hall or vacant store secured for the
occasion. Here they are sorted and
appraised. The doors are then opened
and the bargain-hunters rush in. The
collection is sure to be diversified and
amusing, and usually contains much
that has value-pictures, lamps, hats,
clothing, odd pieces of furniture, bits
of bric-a-brac, old shoes, stuffed owls.
wax flowers, discarded toys, and a host
os other things which will never be
missed by those who sent them, and
yet may be of service or give pleasure
to some other family. The sum real
liked are often surprisingly large But
many persons of experience in chart
table work consider rummage sales
harmful. They declare that people of
small means are tempted to buy things
which are not needed merely because
they are cheap, and that the sales
diminish the supply of secondhand
clothing formerly distributed more ju-
Giciously by permanent and well-in-
formed organizations. The rummage
sale is, nevertheless, an ingenious de-
vice, and for the most part amusing, al
though tragedy sometimes casts a
shadow over the scene. That was
certainly the case at the sale where a
member of the committee laid her new
tifteen-dollar hat on one of the tables,
and found out little later that an in
nocent assistant had supposed il to be
a contribution, and sold it for twenty
cents

Lettuce as a Sedat,ye.

The soporific properties of the COM
mon, or garden, lettuce, were known in
the earliest ages. Galen used to eat the
lettuce in the evening as a remedy for
wakefulness at night, and most persons
find 1t induces sleep. Lactucarium is
the inspissated juice of the garden let
tuce, and has the color, and In some
measure the taste and odor, of opium;
but no morphia has yet been obtained
from it, and its narcotic principle is
therefore still undiscovered. Its analy-
sis is said 10 prove it to contain a large
proportion Of caoutchouc, as much as
twenty-five parts in fifty. Its medici-
nal effects are very nearly the same as
those of opium, but it is undoubtedly
much milder in its operation. and NAV

sumption and in other cases where
opium, from Its stimulating effect, can
not be borne
