CHINESE PROVERBS.

Dig well before you are thirsty.
The ripest fruit will not fall into
your mouth.
Great wealth means destiny. Mod
crate wealth means industry.
The pleasure of doing good is the only
one which does not wear out.
Water does not remain on the noun

To nourish the heart there is nothing
better than to make the desires few.
When life comes, it cannot be de,
clincd. When it goes, it cannot be
detained.
Good governments get the peoples
wealth, while good instructions get
their hearts.
Those who labor with their minds
govern others. Those who labor with
their strength are governed by others.

Express Elevators.

To the man who is accustomed to
buildings where staircases are still use
full as we'll as ornamental the speed of
the express" elevators in New York
skyscrapers is disturbing. Recently
an "up state" man, who was being
shown about the city by friend, was
taken at last up to the sixteenth story
of one of the high buildings. He went
up in a 'locaP' elevator, at moderate
speed, but even that caused him TO
suffer many qualms before he stepped
out on the firm landing. In coming
down to street level again they took
an express" With one switch of the

Wagner md the Player.

When Richard Wagner was conduct
or of the Royal Opera in Dresden, the
orchestra of that institution. though
one of the best in Germany, was far
from being as good as it is now, and
Wagner had a good deal of trouble in
making it follow his intentions. Some
years later, when lie was living as an
exile in Zurich, he undertook to train
the local orchestra. After a few at
tempts he exclaimed, Gentlemen, you
have just given me a great pleasure;
you have played exactly as badly as
the Dresden orchestra"
The Zurich players laughed. and the
idea that they might play better than
the royal musicians in Dresden so fired
their zeal that they actually succeeded

A CITY of Boiling Springs.

Carlsbad has been humorously de-
scribed as being built on the lid of
boiling kettle. which is almost literally
true, as it stands on a crust of COM
parative thinness through which rise
several mineral springs. The most
abundant and most used of these
springs is the Sprudel, which dis
charges 10000 gallons a day of vari-
Gus temperatures. The water of the hot
springs has been famous for more
than a century as "cure" for various
complaints, and the town can nearly
always boast of it's royal visitors dur
ing the season from May l to Sept. 20

A GhostIy Satellite,

Under certain conditions there may
be seen in the night sky, exactly op-
posite to the place where the sun may
then be, faint light, rounded in out
line, to which the name "gegenschien"
has been given. 1t has always been a
mystery to astronomers, but Professor
Pickering suggested that it may be a
cemetery or meteoric satellite of the
earth. He thinks it may be composed
of a cloud of meteors 100000 miles
from the earth and revolving around it
in a period of just one solar year, SO
that the sun and the ghostly satellite
are always on opposite sides of the
earth.

Tales of the Finger Nails.

That the mental condition of a per-
son who is suffering from some phys
ical ailment may be judged from the
condition of the finger nails was re-
Gently shown by DR.. Marco, an Italian
physician, who has for some time Deen
making investigations in this direction
According to him, a patient whose
nails are not quite smooth, but contain
many burrows, is subject to acute dls-
eases, since it is the inability to take
adequate nourishment, caused by such
diseases, which makes the nails Ge-
fective. He also maintains that series
of grooves will be found in the nails OF
those persons who are mentally unpal-
anced and especially Of those who are
periodically afflicted By some form oi
mental disturbance and that from o
simple examination CT the nails any
skilled physician can tell how frequent
and how violent the mental attacks
will be.

An Incident Showing the Military
Courage of the MOntenegrin.

In military courage the Montenegrin

stay with his mother and sisters, that

The boy drew near and stopped be-

ENGLISH OF THE ENGLISH,
LondOn Is "A Nice Place IL YOu

Know the Language"
That hackneyed American maiden
who said London was a nice place if
you knew the language was not bit
absurd. We speak English, but we
have built up our forms of English ex-
preston upon the English of a few
shires of the old country as it was
spoken between two and three centu-
ries ago, while they have been blending
and changing the speech of all their
home peoples during the same period.
The result is that an American can
hardly utter a sentence in England
without calling attention to the differ
ence between his speech and that of
the people about him.
Only yesterday. after is months resi-
dence in England. | rushed up to a con-

there are no other cars in England.
If you ask a guest at your home in
England whether he likes his meat

Polished FnrnIture.

When a polished table is stained by a
hot dish. one restoring process is to use
first wood alcohol and then linseed or
olive oil This treatment is excellent
for keeping any polished furniture in
order and is one of the few things for
which wood alcohol may be used. The
latter is cheaper than the pure and for
certain domestic uses is quite as good.

An Interesting old watch.

A curious treasure, a watch which
belonged to Louis XIV, is preserved in
the presbytery of RagnOnnas, in Avi-
gnon. The king gave away the watch
under the following interesting circum-
stances: Before the building of the sus-
pension bridge from AvignOn to Rag
nonnas a ferry was made use of, which
from time immemOrial belonged to a
family by the name of Arnoux. A men,
ber of this family one evening 200
years ago took over a company of great
noblemen and in so doing showed ex-
traordinary SKILL One of the gentle
men presented him in recognition there
of with a handful of louis dor and also
with a watch. This man was Louis
XIV.
This large, round watch, a master
piece, has a silver case, which is so
artistically chased that it resembles a
fine spider web. On the lid is the bust
picture of the king in laurel wreaths,
! held below and in the middle by two
| cupids. The dial, with Latin nOtations
| has no hands. 1t is pivoted, and while
turning the numerals come opposite
lily chased on the edge. The interior OF
the watch is of the same fine workman
shin and the mechanism a marvel OF
| precision. The watch is still attached
to the same now faded cord with which

his pocket to present it to the ferrymal
