CURING THE BLUES.
Just Try Turning Up the Corners OF
Your Mouth.

Just Try Turning I'D the corners o.
Your Mouth.
A well known doctor Of Minneapolis
who has made a specially of nervous
diseases has found new remedy for
the "blues." As no drugs are admin
istered, he has felt safe in experiment
ing with at least half hundred melan-
choly patients and now declares him
self thoroughly satisfied with the good
results of his treatment. His prescr'p-
ton reads something like this: IF You
keep the corners Of your mouth turned
up, you can't feel blue" The direc-
lions for taking are, Smile, keep on
smiling, don't stop smiling" 1t sounds
ridiculous, doesn't it? Well, just try
turning up the corners of your mouth,
regardless of your mood, and see how
1t makes you feel Then draw the cor
ners Of your mouth down and note the
effect, and you will be willing to de-
clare there's something in It,"
The doctor treats his nervous pa
tents to medicine when necessary,
but when the case is one of pure mel
ancholy, without bodily i'll, he simply
recommends the smile cure. He has
the patient rsman In his office and
smile. If it isu't the genuine article, II
must at least be an upward curvature
Of the corners OF the mouth, and the
better feelings follow inevitably. The
treatments arc followed up regularly,
and the patioDts all testify to their
good effect. 1t takes considerable per-
suasiop to induce some of them to ap-
ply the cure. aud Of course the greater
number of patients are women, for
when man Ii blue he is bound to be
blue in spite Of everything, but wom-
an Is more easily persuaded to try to
find cure.
The doctor declares that If persons
will only draw down the corners of
their mouths and use sufficient will
power they can actually shed tears.
On the other hand, If they will persist
emily keep the corners of the mouth
turned up pleanant thoughts will chase
away the gloomy forebodings. His
discovery grew out of an experience in
his own home. His wife was of nerv-
GUS and rather morbid temperament.
and when in q respondent mood he
would ask her to "smile little" until
the saying came to be q household
Joke. But 1t brought about good re-
suits. and then came the inspiration to
try the same cure on others,
The doctor has not patented his rem
edy and it is free to all who choose to
take advantage Of ii. - Minneapolis

THE EVE OF AN ARTIST,
A Case Where 1t Was More Reliable
Than Sailors Optic.

Mr.. \. Chevalier, the well known
artist who accompanied the late Duke
of Edinburgh on many OF his travels.
was once going from Dunedin to
Lyttelton, New Zealand, by steamer.
| Anxious to catch the earliest glimpse
/ of the coast he went on deck at dawn
and was alarmed to see that the vessel
was heading straight on to the land.
| Calling the officers attention to the
fact, he was told that it was only a
fog bank. The artist maintained his
point, but the second officer looked
and confirmed his mate.
The artist then said: "Well, gentle
men, l will back my artists eye
against your sailors eye, and I say
that what you mistake for a fog bank
is low range of hills, and there is
range of mountains appearing above
them.'
But he was only laughed at, until
the captain coming on deck found In
the growing light that the artist was
right and the seamen wrong. The YES
sci was out of its course, and there
was only just time to avert disaster.
The helmsman was dismissed in dis
grace and the course given to the new
steersman, but the vessels head still
pointed landward-the compass was all
wrong.
The cause was discovered later. A
commercial traveller had brought box
of magnets on board and deposited
them in a stern cabin, causing what
might have been a fatal detection of
the compass.
To return to the question of inter-
probation, the artist was dealing with
the appearances which his eye was
trained to see and his mind to inter
pref. A speck on the horizon might
have remained a mere speck to him
long after the sailors had interpreted
the speck into vessel of definite rig.
There can be little doubt that the
trained eye is accompanied by a sort
of mental seeing, an instinct outrun-
ming optics.

The Flight of the Stork.

The sork is remarkably pictur.
esque bird. Its snowy body contrasting
with the bright red beak and legs and
black quill feathers Of the wings make
1t striking object. The flight is mag
ntticent, holder and more buoyant than
that of heron. Like most large birds,
its powers of flight show best when
1t is at great height. When we were
on the Bastei rock, in Saxon Switzer-
land, pair passed overhead, flying
southwark. Though high above us,
we could clearly see the black pinion
feathers, and as we watched the
powerful beat of the wide spreading
wings we thought of the angels in
Zechariahs vision who had wings
like the stork. "-Chambers Journal.

Travel Like Princes.

Those who saw the special train in

are comparing it with other trains in

pare favorably with the buffet. COM
