Be Good to Yourself.

Many so-called successful men are
their own worst enemies. They would
never think of abusing a horse or any
other dumb animal as they impose
upon themselves. They go without
eating, are irregular at meals, and rob
themselves of sleep and recreation; in
fact, they violate every law Of their
physical and mental natures and yet
wonder why they are gray-haired,
dyspeptic, and broken down, before
middle life. They cannot understand
why their ambition and greed to get on
in the world should not be the measure
of their strength, and so they go on
forcing their brains to work when
every particle Of nervous energy which
was stored up the previous twenty
four hours has been exhausted.
1t makes all the difference in the
world TO you whether you cut of
five. ton. or fifteen years of your life
by foolish indiscretion, abusing your
self by overworking, or depriving
yourself of needed rest,--by not know.
ing exactly how much you can stand,
or whether you save those precious
years by obedience to the laws Of
health.
Many people cramp their powers
and dwarf their possibilities by deny.
ing themselves the comforts which
make life harmonious and agreeable.

"Perishable CuriositIes. -

In Mexico the billing of railroad
freight requires a knowledge and pre-
cision which can only be attained by
years of practice. This is due to the
peculiar classification of various ar
ticles and the different rates of Gus
toms duties. A case recently occurred
which severely taxed the ingenuity
Of the stGtion-agent, although he final
ly succeeded in meeting all require
ments.
The town was overrun with tramps,
and the council determined that steps
must be taken to rid the city of them.
1t was finally decided to round them
up and ship them ott of the country.
1t would be too expensive to purchase
tickets so they concluded to hire stock
cars and ship their tramps as freight.
The cars were procured and by the
aid of the police the tramps were gath
cred; but then the question arose as to
how the shipment should be designated
on the bill Of lading.
The term persons" could not be
USED, as 1t would conflict with the
State law relative to proper accommo-
dations for the travelling public, and it
would also be in violation Of the com
pany's rules governing the rates OF
passenger traffic Marketable COM
modities" would rot do, as that would
subject the carload to a heavy duty
upon crossing the tariff zone. Again,
they would have to be classified as
"perishable," or the dispatcher might
order the cars side-tracked along the
line.
But fortunately there is a customs
law which exempts certain kinds of
curiosities from duty, and so, after
much consideration, the tramps were
billed and forwarded as so many hun.

A Sail In a Glass Boat.

A hotel keeper at Nassau has elabo-
rated the idea OF the marine telescope
in striking fashion. Most people who
have been in the tropics are familiar
with the marine telescope" a long
wooden box with a pane Of glass at
one end, which, being thrust into the
water at one side of the boat, enables
one to get a fairly satisfactory view
Of the animal and vegetable life or
near the bottom-when the bottom is
not too far from the surface. What
the ingenious hotel keeper proposes
is to make a big boat which shall
itself be a marine telescope, and so
provide his patrons with an opportun-
ity to watch the sea gardens Of the Ba-
hamas much more conveniently than
they could with the glazed tube. The
boat, which is now building at Palm
Beach, Fla, is to be 4S feet long, and
for 2S feet its bottom is to be made OF
plate glass, clear and thick. Thus will
the opacity Of the surface ripples be
avoided, while deeper immersion. in
creased steadiness and wider field of
view are expected to give the passen-
gers such a spectacle Of submarine
wonders as they never secured by the
simpler arrangement.

DEATH OF A ROYAL ANT.
For Fourteen Years She Was Cared For
by Sir John Lubbock.

Sir John Lubbock, the distinguished
naturalist, succeeded in preserving two
ant queens OF Formlca Fusca to a great
age, one Of these having reached the
vast antiquity of over fourteen years.
Her longevity was due to the careful
protection extended by Sir John and
bis attendants; for it is true OF emmett
nerds as well as domestic animals, that
they thrive under human protection.
AS greeted Sir John one morning, in
response to an invitation to breakfast
with him and some of his friends, l in.
quired at once about the health Of his
ancient queen, writes DR.. H. G. Nc.
Cook.
ALAS! DOCTOR he replied, Il have
sad news. My old queen is dead"
"DeadT l exclaimed; that is sad
news, indeed. When did she die?"
only last night" was the response,
"and have not yet told even my wife
about 1t, for l dare say she will feel as
badly over the loss as l do"
Perhaps this may seem trivial to the
ordinary lay mind; but to Sir John and
to the writer 1t was matter of some
moment, for it ended one of the most
interesting experiments as to the pro-
longed life of invertebrate creatures
that the world has ever known.
May I see the queen?" l asked.
"Yes; she is just here in the adjoin.
ing ROOM"
Turning aside from the waiting COM
pany of eminent persons who were to
sit with us at breakfast, we went to
see the dead queen. She was in one
Of the chambers or open spaces exca-
waited by the workers within one of the
artificial formicaries which Sir John
had provided. She lay on her back,
with her six legs turned upward, and
bent in the rigor of death. A crowd
of workers surrounded her. Some were
licking her, as though in loving care Of
her toilet. One would nip an antenna,
another a leg, and thus by various So
licitations they sought 10 arouse her.
1t was curious and touching as well,
to watch their methods of expressing
their manifest emotion.
"They have not yet accepted the
fact" said Sir John, that their queen
is really dead. Indeed, doubt if they
are fully persuaded thereof. They have
been surrounding her, and trying to get
some response from her ever since she
died" And thus it was still when we
left the royal death room.-New York
Independent.

The King of Italy and the Peasant.

Here is little story about the young
King Of Italy which is being printed
in the italian papers, and which Is
worth reproducing, The King was
staying in the country at his palace
in Raccorrigi. He is little known to the
people there for in his walks about
the neighborhood he always strives
to preserve his incognito. Hence comes
some curious adventures. Once
while out tramping, he got very
thirsty, and seeing a woman milking
a cow, in a field near by, he went up
TO her and asked her for a glass Of
milk.
Il can't give you any OF this" said
the woman, "but if you'll mind the
cow I'll 80 to the house and get you
some"
So the King minded the COW till
the woman returned with a glass OF
cool milk Then he asked her where
all the farm-hands had gone
"0h, they're always running away
now to try to see the King" answered
the woman.
"And why do you not go? Don't you
want to see the KingT'
Someone must stay and look after
things"
"Well, little mother smiled the guest,
"You see the King without running
away from your work"
"You're joking" exclaimed the wo.
man, who could not believe that
monarch could be so quietly dressed.
But when the King put a gold coin
into her hand she fell or her knees,
while he continued his walk, laughing
over the ncident.-Woman's Home

DOING UP sroRE BUNDLES.
An old-Tine Fine Art That Has Very
Nearly Disappeared.


Somewhere and somehow the world
of trade has lost the art of tying up
bundles in grocery stores, dry goods
houses, hardware stores and even in
the drug stores.
The paper bag seems to have been
the beginning of it, Before its coming
even crossroads grocer could lay a
double thickness of brown paper on
the counter, empty a dollars worth Of
Coffee Az sugar upon it out of brass
scoop and tie the package up as smooth
and tight as a block Of planed wood.
How many clerks in a Chicago corner
grocery could do it now?
In the old days in some Of the small.
er towns the purchaser carried his
sugar home on his arm, and in consid.
GRAFTON of this the brown parcel would
be rewrapped in a thinner, lighter sheet
Of paper, which was supposed to make
more comely package.
1t was remarkable what a neat-look-
ing bundle a grocer OF hardware dealer
could make OF several odd-shaped
bundles or packages. In some Of the
general" stores a coffee mill, bag
Of salt and a tin dipper could be tied
into a paper so skilfully that neigh
Dor across the street, seeing the head
left in deep wonderment as to whether
it was new suit of clothes or a bolt
Of domestic"
With the perfecting of the paper bag,
however, slovenliness began to mark
the wrapping in stores. At first bag
was filled, the top folded into place
neatly, and tied as if it were open
paper. The grocer, especially, com
promised by twisting up the mouth Of
the bag and rolling it down onto the
contents, using no string whatever.
To-day wrapping up bundles is a lost
art. Nobody carries neat bundles any
where. An ordinary package Of some
solid object is laid down on a piece
Of paper and as it is rolled up the ends
Of the paper are tucked into the bun
die, leaving the wrapper to tie a string
around the center Of the roll With
many small objects no string is used,
and a person with several of these
bundles, starting home from down.
town, is most likely TO have trouble
with wrapping before he gets there.
In many things the druggist still does
neat wrapping, as in the case Of bottles,
packages, and even powders. But to
buy from his general stock of toilet
articles and kindred goods he makes as
ugly a bundle as the grocer. In most
cases, too, he uses some hideously col
ored wrapping paper which simply
flares with the Intelligence" to the
public that you OF some of your family
is sick.
The ordinary bundle to-day is neither
neat nor pretty-which may be rea-
son why more than ever before people
insist on having all goods delivered
in the rear"-Chicago Tribune.

Valuable Tiled Hearths.

Something which may not sound
remarkable is hearth tiled with small
squares Of real old fashioned Whitby
jet. When one remembers that
Whitby has for years been out Of
fashion, and that a sudden rise to
favor would materially increase its
price, the hearth. for its stone alone,
may become valuable. The owner OF
this freside flooring does not deem 1t
valuable, simply because the material
was obtained when the original jet
workers were on the verge Of eX-
tinction.
Every piece OF stone is made the
foundation of something more yalu-
able than itself-a gem may be inn
bedded or a glass-covered miniature Of
some celebrity may form a centre,
while here and there the dainty fancy
Of a noted worker in enamel or oil
colors renders the particular slab an
object Of envy Ten thousand dollars
is the value put upon this drawing
room hearth by its proud possessor.
The hearth and floors Of present

tiles bearing sketches from Bibles is
sued as early as 1866 and 1867. Gold
covered cement was used in joining
the tiles. Many years Of labor were
consumed in procuring subjects for
the tablets, while artists Of ancient
day decorations were paid large sums
Of money to produce the primitive

The statistics Of British commerce for
1901 are of more than ordinary inter-
est. They show an unmistakable dis
turbance in the current Of trade. One
cause is the progressive decadence Of
British agriculture; another is the d.
minishing coal deposits, and a third
is the decreased ability to pay for
food imports.
