Don't Be a Second Class Man.

You can hardly imagine a boy say
ing: Il am going to be a second class
man. don't want to be first class
and get the good jobs, the high pay.
Second class jobs are good enough for
me-" Such a boy would be regarded
as lacking in good sense if not in SAN
ity. You can get to be second class
man, however, by not trying to be i
first class one. Thousands do that all
the time, so that second class men are
a drug on the market, remarks Sue
cess.
Second class things are only wanted
when first class can't be had. You
wear first class clothes if you can pay
for them. eat first class butter, first
class meat and first class bread, or, if
you don't, you wish you could. Second
class men are no more wanted than
any other second class commodity.
They are taken and used when the
better article is scarce or is too high
priced for the occasion. For work
that really amounts to anything first
class men are wanted.

Pats Trouble.

Pat had come over to America with
the expectation Of finding money lying
around loose, only waiting for some
one to pick it up. Of course this was
long ago. Pat had soon become disil-
lusionized and was always glad to get
hold of odd jobs which would net him
a little something to help him keep
body and soul together Finally, be-
coming tired of the struggle. he de-
cided to end it all and was very indus
triously tying a rope around his waist
when his landlord happened in on him.
After watching him curiously for a
few minutes he asked:
whats up, Pat? What are you try
ing to do:"
''Troyin' to choke meself, av coorse,' -
was Pats answer.
Choke yourself? You can't do it
that way. You'll have to put the rope
around your neck

GULF STREAM MARKS.
The Course of the Flow Through
the Ocean Plainly Indicated.

The Course of the Flow Through
the Ocean Plainly Indicated.
The color Of the stream is percepti-
bly deeper blue than that Of the neigh
boring sea, this blueneSS forming one
of the standard references OF the nau-
teal novelists. The depth of color is
due to the high percentage Of salt con-
tained as compared with the cold green
water of higher ATTITUDES, observation
having shown that the m6t:e salt held
in solution by sea water the more in
tensely blue is its color. Thus even in
eXtratropical ATTITUDES we sometimes
observe water Of beautiful blue col
or, as for instance, in the Mediterra-
mean and in other nearly landlocked
basins, where the influx Of freShcr Wa
ter, being more or less impeded, the
percentage Of salt contained is raised
by evaporation above the average, says
the National Geographic Magazine.
Another important fact in connection
with the stream is it's almost tropical
temperature, due to the fact that its
high velocity enables it to rC&ch the
middle ATTITUDES with very little loss
of heat. Upon entering its limits the
temperature of the sea water frequent
ly shows a rise Of ten degrees and even
fifteen degrees. 1t was this fact that
gave to the stream in the later years
of the eighteenth century and the ear
lier years of the nineteenth an impor-
tance in the minds of navigators that
it no longer possesses. In those days
the chronometer, invented by Harri-
son in 1765, was still an experiment.
Instruments were crude and nautical
tables often at fault.
The result was that the determina-
ton of the longitude was largely a
matter Of guesswork, a vessel after
voyage from the channel to America
often being out Of her reckoning by de-
grees instead Of by minutes. The idea,
first suggested by Benjamin Franklin,
that the master Of vessel, by observ-
ing the temperature of the surface wa
ter, could tell the moment of his entry
into the gulf stream and could hence
fix his position to within few miles
was hailed with delight.
The method was published in 1I90
by Jonathan Williams in work
lengthily entitled "Thermometrical
Navigation: Being series of expert
ments and observations tending to
prove that by ascertaining the relative
heat Of the sea water from time to
time the passage of ship through the
gulf stream and from deep water into
soundings may be discovered in time
to avoid danger" In this work he
makes a patriotic comparison of the
gulf stream to q streak Of red, white
and blue, painted upon the surface of
the sea for the guidance of American
nayigators.

A Sriny Monster.

For sheer ferocity of appearance, un-
redeemed by any milGer facial attri-
butes. a lizard called after "Moloch hor-
rid king" Moloch horridus is pre-emi-
nent among reptiles. The body of this
Australian reptile is so covered with
spines that, as it has been put, nature
seems to have cnGeavored to ascertain
how many spines could be inserted on
q given area. But. unlike its tutelary
deity, who seems really tc have spelled
himself Molech. the lizard does not de-
mand the blood Of children. 1t is, in
deed, vegetarian and only fiery in that
it has a curious faculty Of absorbing
and drying up water. A specimen
placed in q shallow dish was observed
to attract the water like piece of
blotting paper.-Westminster Gazette.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has

authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles
and still another for bones. A cor
rect diet will not only nourish par
ticular part of the body, but it will
sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good your food may be, its nut
r,ment is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must pr pare for
their appearance or prevent their

Victim VIII Keep Cool.
If swimmers could be trained to keep
cool under all circumstances, there
would be comparatively little drown
inc among bathers and summer pleas
ure seekers. Cranp is usually assigned
as the cause when some good swimmer
browns. But cramp ought in reality to
be nothing serious. Usually is affects
only an arm or leg or maybe only
hand or foot. Any moderately good
swimmer can keep afoat with one arm
or even without the use of that yet
good swimmers drown often as result
of cramp. If such fatalities were ana
lived. they would be more properly
classcd Us drowning from fright and
loss of nerve This comes from the fact
that every one is taught in childhood
to fear the water and comes as
grown man and a swimmer to fear
cramp. The average opinion is that
the man who is attacked when swim
ming in deep water is as good as
drowned. Therefore, when swimmer
feels leg or arm begin to cramp he is
frightened in most cases entirely out
of his wits. He loses bis head, begins
to splash and paw and struggle and
then goes down.
What the swimmer should remember
is that he can keep afloat with very,
very little effort if he will turn on his
back and keep his chest inflated. 1t is
the simple matter Of floating, which
every swimmer knows and finds very
easy. II the swimmer will keep cool
and float, the cramping limb will fire.

SIGHTS OF OLD PANAMA.
City Once rs Beautiful as Amy De-
Dicted In Storied Romance.


Following the English style, dinner
is a full dress and ceremoniOus affair.
After dinner comes the promenade
along the esplanade, charming walk
around the old battery overlooking the
prison, says the Catholic World. Our
way borders the sea; behind us lies
the city, with its Moorish towers, it's
red tiled roofs; back Of it rises Mount
Ancon; to our left is the little Indian
hamlet Of La Boca. at the mouth Of
the Rio Grande, and the green hills Of
the Andes in the distance; along the
horizon oceanward stretches the bay.
What words can describe it? \ study
in color as the rays of the setting sun
turn to crimson, green and gold its
islands; the stately palmetto trees that
fringe it's banks, the white beach and
far away the ancient towers of San
Anastasius, sole landmark OF the once
beautiful city of old Panama.
The story of this beautiful city, old
Panama, reads like one of the TO-
mances from the ARABIAN Nights that
so delighted our childhood. Its houses
of aromatic wood, hung with costly
tapestries, adorned with paintings and
sculptures that king might envy;
its 800 magnificent churches, with their
services of silver and gold, their fres-
Goes of pearls and precious stones; its
pleasure gardens; its broad driveways,
chief Of which was the kings high
way, over which the royal horses bore
the treasures to Puerto Bello and the
ships ready to sail with them to Spain.
Into the midst Of this Asiatic splendor
came Morgan and his buccaneers, and
this struggle, one Of the most menora-
BILE on our continent, the first Of white
against white led to the destruction Of
the flower of Spanish chivalry and the
capture of Panama. So pass the glo-
ries of the world.
