"The Do AS You Would Be Done BY
Factory

The famous Golden Rule factory,
where Mayor Jones, of Toledo, has
made handsome part of his fortune,
is situated near the corner of two
streets. A small park adjoins the
building lot, and beneath the shade of
a score of fine old trees are grouped
settees and benches. There are
swings, see-saws, and Maypoles.
Flower beds light the spot and gravel
walks thread it. Here in summer
time speakers of national fame in
economic matters deliver addresses.
The signs upon the paths do not read
"Keep off the grass" but instead,
"Children take care of your prop
erty," "Don't keep others waiting
longer than you would have others
keep the places while you are wait
ing" The factory employees have an
orchestral organization and vocal
quartette.
The factory building is a modern
workshop. On the wall is this legend:
"Rule governing this shop: There
fore, whatsoever We would that men
should do unto you, do We even so
unto them" Under this rule the men
work contentedly. The eight hour day
is in vogue and percentage of the
annual profits of the concern is dis
tributed among them. Their children
are educated in the factory kinder

building and the workmen are served

They Thought the Doctor Knew.

At the last annual meeting of the
Association of Military Surgeons of
the United States, Maj. John Van R.
Hoff, in the course of his speech
accepting the presidency of the asso-
citation, told the following story: "a
lady was passing through the wards
of an over-crowded military hospital
when she suddenly encountered two
men saving and hammering on some
boards. SIZE looked at them in some
surprise and wonderingly asked:
what are you doing there my men?'
They looked up at her and one of
them said: What are we doing? Why,
we are making coffin, that's what
we are DOING "A coffin?' she asked.
For whom are you making a coffin?'
For that fellow over there in that bed.
Don't you see him?' The lady looked
in the direction indicated and saw a
man apparently in good condition
and watching the operation with
great interest. why, that man is not
dead, and, indeed, he does not look as
if he were going to die. Can't you
postpone this work?' No. the mer
said, I'VE can't postpone it. The doc
tor told us to make the coffin, and he
knows what he gave him."

"Look Up and Not Down."

A habit of constantly looking upon
the dark side of things, of thinking
something terrible is going to happen,
that we are unfortunate, that fate is
against us, that we were born under
an unlucky star, and that our lives
are comparative failures; a habit of
thinking that we, perhaps are not so
smart as others who have succeeded,
and that we have overestimated our
ability; in other words, a habit of
worrying or of self-depreciation will
after while, dwarf the highest ideals.
Success.

To Clean Silver.

Silver in daily use may be cleaned
by immersion in strong borax and
water for two or three hours. The
water should be boiling when the bo-
rax and silver are put in. After it
has been taken out and dried rub it
with little plate powder and polish
with chamois. If silver ornaments
are not kept in case they tarnish
very quickly. To brighten them dip
the articles in strong solution of am
monia and hot water. Never rub
silver with flannel or cotton cloth.
Plate not in general use should be
wrapped carefully in tissue paper to
exclude light and air as these are the
two factors that cause silver to tarnish

How Friends Fought.

In Frank Leslje's Popular Monthly for
April John Uri Lloyd tells the story of
Kentucky village in civil war time,
when friend fought against friend and
brother against brother.
"In these matters of principle" he
says, "not hand was raised to pre-
vent free choice. No feeling of per-

saw life's duty differently"
A neighbor to the right of little
home called one evening on his neigh

and shook hands with the parents.

Relic Found In Scotland.

An interesting relic of the Roman
occupation of Scotland has just been
discovered during building operations
at Falllirk, in the form of large
stone. about nineteen inches broad ten
inches thick. over four feet high and
weighing probably half ton. 1t is
beautifully sculptured in high relief.
The ornamentation is divided into two
panels, the larger one being at the top.
These panels are separated by band
about one and half inches broad,
which is carried round both panels,
meeting at an angle at the top of the
stone. Under the angle is beautiful
shell-like device, delicately executed.
The upper panel is completely flied
by horse and rider the warrior cnr-
rying a sword triumphantly a!oft. The
figure is pictured in full armor and
bears a shield. The lower panel repre-
sents a naked mana wild Celt, pre-
sumably-prone on the ground. his
shield and weapon lying beside him.
The profile is perfect and the stone is
in A complete state of preservation.

II any lesson Is to be drawn from
the disaster at Seneca. says the Detroit
Journal, it is that every car in the
train ought to be as nearly proof
against collapse as the best material
can make it. Then, in case two fast
trains should meet, the cars would only
be tumbled about on the ground, like
so many strong boxes. In such case
the passengers would have show for
their lives, because the natural instinct
is to hold fast to something at such
time. The danger of a fire horror
would be lessened. because there would
be less kindling wood to be lighted.
