A FARMER FATHERS ADVICE.

Dear Son.: Your letter Of the 10th came In
the mail to-day.
And so you want to marry and you wonder
what well say!
Well, Joe, your mother here and have
read your letter through,
And she seems to think that I'm the one
who'd better lecture you.
For though in most affairs. OF course,
there's nothing quite SO nice
As mothers letter, still 1t takes man to
give advice.
Your letter says: "she's beautiful and
handsome as queen"
1 hope so. Joe, and hope you know just
what those two words mean.
A beautiful form is one which tells of a
beautiful soul within:
A handsome face Is one which wears no
damning brand OF Sin;
Beautiful eyes are those that with the fire
of pure thought glow;
Beautiful lips are those which speak for a
truthful heart below;
The handsomest hands are those not
ashamed the Masters work to do
Hands that are patient and brave and kind,
gentle and strong and true;
Beautiful feet are those which go In an
swer TO duty's call:
And beautiful shoulders are those which
bear their daily burdens all
Remember this maxim true. my boy, wher-
ever you choose a wife;
THE handsomest woman of earth Is she
who leads the handsomest life"
], therefore. trust that the woman you wed
Qf you really love each other)
May be the handsomest one in the world
excepting one-your mother.

COST OF LIBRARY VISITS.
Estimated Expense Of Providing fer
Callers at the Large Reading
Rooms Of Chicago.

Each time anybody goes to the John
Crerar library and gets book out
the institution spends 6s cents on his
comfort, says the Chicago Tribune.
Again, how many of those who pur-
sue learning at the Newberry library
appreciate the fact that for every time
they are present in the reading-room
of the institution AZ cents must be ex-
pended to cover the cost of their visit?
1t is safe to say that few if any of
the thousands of men and women who
enjoy the privileges of either of these
institutions year after year stop to
consider the financial consideration In
volved in their reading and study. And
it is equally as certain that those who
have made it possible for them to en-
joy these educational privileges give
as little thought to the cost as do the
beneficiaries. But there is an old-time
adage that Figures won't lie, ;" and thus
1t is that by little calculating on pro
rata expense of maintaining the two
libraries a rather interesting feature
of the public library question is pre-
scented.
The fact of the matter is that each
visit to the John Crerar library costs
more than 6s cents, but the excess can
not in justice be charged to the Wis
itors of any one year or period, be-
cause expenditures are incurred in
adding to the facilities of the institu-
ton, thus increasing its assets and its
value to posterity. The average cost
per year of maintaining the institution
is about $4,000, which is exclusive of
money expended in securing new
books, labelling and cataloging them,
and getting them ready for shelving.
These items are chargeable to the
assets.
In 1901 people paid 5s,42s visits to the
library and calculating on the basis
of $4,000 year for maintenance the
pro rata cost is shown to be approx
imately IS cents. However, such items
as binding, periodicals. books. letter
ing and repairs are not taken into con-
sideration in this problem. If they
were, a total expense of more than
$4,000 would be shown and the pro
rata cost would be CORRESPONDENCE in
creased.
Students, however, are not disposed
to consider the matter on this basis,
for they say the number of persons
who receive the benefit of their scien-
tific study must not be overlooked.
The number of visitors at the New
berry library during 1901, including the
museum, was 7s.4s3, and the estimated
cost of maintenance was $37, 900, max
ing the per capita expense about AZ
cents. The difference between the
number of visitors at the two institu-
tions is explained by the greater num-
Der of subjects covered in the books
belonging to the Newberry.

Several years ago there labored in
one of the western villages of Minneso-
ia preacher who was always in the
habit of selecting his texts from the
Old Testament, and particularly some
portion of the history of Noah. No
matter what the occasion was, he
would always find some parallel incl
dent from the history of this great
character that would readily serve as
text of illustration, says the Star
light Messenger.
At one time he was called upon to
unite the daughter of the village mayor
and q prominent attorney in the holy
bonds Of matrimony. Two little boys,
knowing his determination to give
them a portion of the sacred history
touching Noah's marriage, hit upon
the novel idea of pasting together two
leaves in the family Bible SO as to con-
meet without any apparent break, the
marriage of Noah and the description
of the Ark Of the Covenant.
When the noted guests were all as
sembled and the contracting parties
with attendants in their respective
stations the preacher began the GER
emony by reading the following text:
s.And when Noah was 40 years old he
took unto himself wife" (then turn
ing the page he continued) 200 cubits
in length, so cubits in width, and 30cu-
bits in depth, and within and without
besmeared with pitch" The story

The Mexican's only reply was to

He felt, savagely, that he would give

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
System Over That I'm Operation
I'm England.

The fast annual report of the Brit
ish postmaster general upon the
government or postal savings banks
shows that for the year ending jan
uary 1, 1902, the excess of deposits
over Withdrawals was about $11,000,-
900.
The postal savings banks in Eng
land are pointed out among the adj
vocates of government ownership as
an illustration of the superior BEN
efits derived by government control
of matters which are conducted in
the United States by private indi-
viduals, states the New York Sun.
But it is observable that while the
deposits in British postal savings
$50, 0O0, 900 in 1892, $4,000, 900 in 1898,
$4O,OO0,000 in 1894, and S45,0OO,0OO in
1895, they have since diminished to
such an extent that they exceeded
the Withdrawals last year by ST., O0O.-
600 only, and the experience of gov
ernment-conducted savings banks is
the same substantially in all other
countries.
In the United States, where the in
terest of the government is limited
to supervision, and there is no Off
cial liability for either the revenues
of bonds, the business of banks has
been steadily increasing; the inter-
est paid is larger than it is in Eng

TREAT BRAINS WELL.
Just Enough Mental Work and Not
Too Much should BE the
Rule.

Anxiety causes more brain disor-
ders than any other agency, unless
it be love. j have. great respect for
the gray matter of the brain, says a
writer in Health. There is no so
highly developed tissue in the body
of any animal, or in man, than tho
gray matter of the brain. It is well
for us to know that the feelings or,
emotions cause more unhappiness and
crime than any other cause. Human
beings are governed by their emo
tions, and it is well that they should
be to a certain extent, though it is
the emotions that wear away the
brain, and not honest, intellectual
work. Very few people suffer from
intellectual work, and a mathema-
tician rarely needs a doctor for any
nervous disease. It is not intellec-
tual work that causes nervous dys-
pepsia, but anxiety, fear, sorrow and
love. Eight hours day are sufficient
for a man to use his brain; if he ex-
ceeds that time he becomes nervous
and fretful, and an exhausted brain
is an irritable brain. You may not
feel the evil effects of the stress of
brain work at the time, but you will
sooner or later, when it is too late.
The men that work at night with
their brains are the ones that ex-
pose themselves to danger, and night
work is dangerous to brain health,
unless the person is strong and takes
the best of care of himself.
