Needless
is Worry

What is worry?" Annie Besaut
in the Theosophical Review asks this
question and then dilates upon it
somewhat as follows: "lt is the proc
ess of repeating the same train OF
thought over and over again, with
small alterations, coming to no result
and not even aiming at the reaching Of
result" He who is given to worry
has dwelt on puzzling painful sub
ject. wishing, but failing to find the
solution of some problem until, held IN
this anxious and uncertain condition,
he becomes dominated by the fear OF
the anticipated trouble. His thought
current has made for itself a channel
and his mental energies flow along
this track as it is the line of least
resistance. Held as it were in this
brain-track by the fascination of fear,
his mental vitality is sapping itself
away and poisoning the blood cells in
his brain. AS Elmer T. Gates has
proved by his chemical analysis OF
perspiration of the man who Is de-
pressed low-spirited and despairing
he is actually producing a ptomaine
of certain kind which enters into the
circulation of his blood. and often
physical disease follows. Now how
can we get rid OF this worry channel?
| By digging another of an exactly op-
posite character, made by definite per-
sistent regular thought of the kind
opposed to worry. Let a man who is
| given to worry give a few minutes
every day to some noble and encour-
aging thought. Let him picture the
Divine Self within as a fountain of
strength and peace from which he
may drink refreshment at any mo-
ment of need. Let him turn and listen
to the message of his innermost Divine
nature and he will find himself en-
folded in peace that swollows up fear
If he will persist in this with regu-
larity the thought will dig a new
channel and the old one will disappear
Ere long he will find that whenever his
mind is free from labor, his thoughts
will flow unbidden into the channel OF
peace and power which will shed 9
restiul atmosphere around him, felt
though perhaps not seen by all who
are near him. Mental energy viii

Nothing looks worse than solled
gloves, and as they are an expensive
item in dress they require careful
management A first-class glove out
wears half dozen pairs of cheap ones,
and at the same time looks well until
it Is finally discarded. Cheap gloves,
however, have their uses; expensive
ones should never be worn in wet
weather or in hot rooms or in theatres,
where the heat will cause the hands 10
perspire, for when glove is once
stained by perspiration no amount OF
cleaning will make it look well again.
For such occasions cheap gloves are
far more serviceable. To clean
chamois gloves put the gloves on your
hands, and wash them as If you were
washing your hands, in warm water
and white CASTLE soap; wash until
they are quite clean; then take them
of and hang them in a warm place to
dry. Kid gloves may be cleaned in
the following manner: Put a little
fresh milk in a dish, and piece OF
white CASTLE soap in another, and have
convenient a clean cloth folded three
or four times, and a small piece of
flannel. Place the soiled glove smooth
and neat upon the cloth, and dip the
flannel into the milk; then rub of
good quantity OF the soap on the wet
! flannel and commence to rub the glove
downward toward the fingers, holding
It firmly with the left hand. Contin-e
this process until the glove. If white
looks a dingy yellow; If colored, until
il looks dark and spoiled. Then lay

sand rock, though its inventor admits
that the great buzz-saw at the bow
must necessarily make slower prog
ress through rock than it could
through dirt.
The idea of this st. Louis inventor,
practicable or impracticable, is simple.
A steel saw will saw almost anything.
A circular saw will work readily in
rock Then circular saw big enough
will saw a channel through rock ledge
in the river bottom, on the canal route
or wherever a channel may be desired.
For instance, eight miles above the
St. Louis bridge is the Chain OF Rocks,
a fat ledge of rock reaching entirely
across the river. 1t is the Scylla OF
steamboatin2 on the Mississippi above
st. Louis. Inventor Menges would ap-
proach this rock ledge, lower the big
steel saw at the PROV of his boat,
start the Independent engines turning
and saw and cut his way through 1t
as surely as rock is softer than steel.
For the assistance of the saw in work
ing upon rock the boat Is equipped
under the hull with battery OF drills,
and along the sides it has still addi-
tional machinery, two shaving wheels
working here to cut away banks OF
channels, and other crushers operat-
ing in case 1t is desired to navigate
the river when the water is covered
with ice. An ice blockade such as has
tied up the ferries at st. Louis a good
part of the present winter wouldn't
cut any ice with the boat Menges
would build.

Charles ]. Menges, st. Louis piano
merchant. has been granted a patent
upon the most astounding proposition
ever patented by an American inven-
tor. Menges' patent is a steamboat

In response to application for a pat
ent upon a new steamboat Menges re-
ceived through his st. Louis attorneys
this letter from the commissioner of
patents:

what a diversity of names the patent

which Mr.. Menges proposes going to

II is no secret to medical men ana
physiologists that there is a great deal
OF nourishment in water. Even that
which is sterilized contains enough or
solids to keep human being from
death for long time. During pro
longed fast the loss of weight Is un-
usually rapid at first and decreases as
time goes on. Death ensues when
certain percentage of the loss has been
reached, and this percentage varies ac-
cordlng TO the original weight. Fat
animals may lose half their weight,
thinner ones perhaps two-fifths, a man
or woman Of rather spare build, weigh
ing 149 pounds, might, therefore, lose
about ffty-fve pounds before sue

from three to Ave days, during which
they have lost a quarter OF their

a Chicago man, after years of study
and experimenting, has come to the
conclusion that the north pole is not
so hard to reach after all and that he
can accomplish the journey that has
resulted disastrously to so many ad-
venturous explorers with comparative
ease. He is so confident that he can
reach the extremity of the frozen re-
gions and return in safety that he
says he will head an expedition that
will leave Chicago some time during
the coming summer probably late in
July.

Il is very rarely that any but royal
eyes are permitted to look upon this
magnificence. At the entrance of tho
first hall stands a throne, which was
captured from the Persians; it is near
ly covered with pearls and precious
stones. An enormous emerald adorns
the center of another jewel-studded

over with pearls is among the furni-

In this room is also a marvellous col
lection OF gold and silver cups plates

tanning hundreds of necklaces, brooches
and rings. In the midst of all this
splendor, ancient and modern, are
very up-to-date dressing bags, cameras,
telescopes, and even case of ra3ors,
all with fine silver mountings, but
seeming rather out of place among
such regal surroundings.

The Girship when completed will
measure 45O feet in length and SO in

posed of tubular bridges, having metal
cones at each end, and the whole in
cased in gas tight incasement sutfi-
ciently rigid to resist the pressure of
air even when going at speed of 100
miles an hour. The vessel will be pro-
PEELED by means of motors working
immense fans, by which the locomo-
tive force will he produced. A hydro
gen gas producer will be carried to re-
plenish it's buoyancy power as it be-
comes exhausted.
The average speed of the machine in
calm will be sixty miles an hour, and
it will be so constructed that any cle-
walton can be taken when it is desired
to utilize air currents moving in the
same direction. The large fans pro-
truding from the ship will strike the
air at any angle desired.
The base of supplies will be estab-
lished at Spitzbergen, and so conf
dent is Mcdonnell of the success of
his venture that he has arranged to
make two or three little jaunts to that
point before commencing the real
journey, merely to get his powerful
machine in good working order for the

place. If the theory be correct that an
open sea exists about the pole, neces-

would cause to exist a perpetual all
current moving constantly toward this
sea, returning only at tremendously
high altitude. This altitude Andres
balloon would not reach and the in
trepid explorer is held prisoner.
