Speak Kindly Words Now.

In the course of our lives there must
be many times when thoughtless
words are spoken by us which wound
the hearts of others. and there are also
many little occasions when the word
of cheer is needed from us and we are
silent
There are lives of wearsome monot-
Ony which word of kindness can re-
lieve. There is suffering which words
Of sympathy can maze more endura-
bic. and often even to the midst of
wealth and luxury there are those who
listen and long in vain for some express
sion of disinterested kindness.
Speak to those while they can hear
and be helped by you. for the day may
come when all our expressions Of love
and appreciation may be unheard. I'm
agine yourself standing beside their
last resting place. Think of the things
you could have said of them and to
them while they We're yet living. Then
go and tell them now.-Exchange.

Hawaii's RipDlinE LanEuage.


The language Of the Hawaiian Is
lands, as every one knows. abounds in
novels and therefore ripples delicious
ly in the mouth. 1t Is only necessary
to pronounce such names as Honolulu,
Oahu, Kilauea, Hilo, Mauna Loa, Ka-
mahamaha and Liliuokalani to discov-
er this. A young Presbyterian clergy.
man of Brooklyn who visited the is
lands two or three years ago and pre-
pared Il lecture on them on his return
declared that there was only one place
Oh the islands which possessed name
lacking in euphony. That place was
Spreckelsville. This euphony of the
Hawaiian tongue was productive Of
one of the jokes Of his lecture. The
first time he gave it he remarked Incl
dentally that he took the steamer
Wy-ally-ally to go to the town Of Ma
willy-willy." A laugh followed the re-
mark, and thereafter he always in
cluded this phrase in his lecture. 1t
invariably produced the same result
when used.-New York Tribune

know who we are, Ell? Well, who are
you? Let's see your card. I'll see Mr..
Goodwin about it,
The manager, who feared scene,
handed oyer one of his cards and told
the men he was responsible and quite
willing to take the consequences of re-
fusing to give them seats.
A few minutes later the two men
came back to the theater. One of them
had written Pass two on the man
ayers card. He presented the card at
the box office, and it was promptly
honored. Then they went in.
When, half an hour later, the man.

had been done. he was at first inclined

Wide Tire Wagons.

One Of the best ways to prevent the
formation Of ruts and to keep earth
roads in repair is by the use of wide
tires on all wagons carrying heavy
burdens. In most foreign countries
they not only use the four to six inch
tires on market wagons, but on many
OF the four-wheel freight wagons, in
addition to wide tires, the rear axles
are made fourteen inches longer than
the front ones, 80 that the hind wheels
will not track and form ruts. Water
and narrow tires aid one another In
destroying the roads, while on the
other land wide tires are road makers.
They roll and harden the surface, and
every loaded wagon becomes, in effect.
road roller. The difference between
the action Of a narrow tire and wide
one is about the same as the difference
between crowbar and tamper; the
one tears up and the other packs
down. By using wide tires on heavy
wagons the cost Of keeping roads in
repair would be greatly reduced. The
introduction in recent years of wide
metal tires which can be placed on the
wheels of any narrow tired vehicle at
nominal cost has removed very
serious objection to the proposed sub
stitution Of broad tires Cor the narrow
ones now in use.-Mauri.e o. Eldridge
in Southern Farm Magazine.
