Get a Perspective ON Pain.

We are so constituted that what is
occurring at the moment interests us
often out of all proportion to its i'm
po-tancc. For example, we are thrown
off our balance by the merest trifies,
perhaps, which occur to-day, but which
in weeks time may have no signifi-
eance whatever. Obstacles which seem
like mountains when we meet them,
dwindle away to mole hills when we
get away from them. Even what seems
tragedy at the moment, in the future
may be the most innocent comedy.
Most of us are so constituted that we
will make almost any sacrifice for
present peace. 1t would seem easier
to have an arm or leg amputated two
years hence than to lose a finger to-
day. 1t is human nature to shrink
from pain, and we purchase release at
almost any cost. If we could only
train the mind to lock at to-day's trou-
BILE and annoyance from the stand
point of the future, it would be much
easier to bear.-Washingt Times.

A DROPPING MOUTH.
of Person Who Acquires
the Habit.

Don't let your mouth droop. A droop-
Ing mouth is responsible for many
Eickness. When you are not feeling
well, when you are tired or discour-
aged, disappointed or depressed, the
first indication will be the droop in the
mouth. When the mouth droops, then
the mental activities droop, the bodily
functions droop, and the whole physi-
eal organism gets out of repair, and
Tou feel droopy and you look droopy.
A droopy Individual, like dropy chick
tn, is not very charming or inspiring
sight, and, perhaps, like the droopy
barnyard fowl, should be isolated from
his companions. There is nothing as
doleful as the company of a person
with dropping mouth, says Medical
Talk for the Home.
We are not talking to those who are
facing some awful calamity or passing
through some great sorrow. We do not
expect them to be merry-at least not
until time can soften the pain.
But to that great mass of people who
take life too seriously, who allow
trifes to irritate them, petty obstacles
to discourage them. little disapPoint-
ments to depress them. Those people
who magnify their troubles and retail
their woes. Those people who imagine
they are to be pitied and with dropping
mouth pose for sympathy.
Cheer up! Get the droop out of your
mouth. Make the corners of your
mouth turn up instead Of down. If
other way take your fingers and twist
the corners up. When you are feeling
irritated or depressed or discouraged
or tired, watch your mouth. Don't let
the corners sag. Make the corners
bow upward even if you have to use the
finger exercise. Do this when you are
feeling your worst and very soon the
sun will shine brighter, the sky will
take on a bluer tint, the WEAKNESS, the
annoyance, the disappointmenta and de-
preston will have vanished, and life
will be all rose-color again.

Canning strawberries.

Wiesbaden Process.-For this two
lots of berries are required-one of
all large, sound dead ripe berries and
the other of perfectly sweet and
fresh, but not necessarily large ber-
ries. In looking them over put aside
the fine ones, but do not hull until
ready to use! To every pound of the
smaller berries allow a pound of SUI
gar and mix in layers in a stone
crock. Cover and allow them to stand
for several hours or over night, until
they form their own juice. Drain off
the syrup and boil down to two
thirds of the original quantity. Have
we'll sterilized cans with fresh rub
bers in readiness; fill with the nice
whole berries which have been hulled
and set on thick, wet, hot cloth in a
dripping pan on back of the range to
keep warm while being filed with the
scalding syrup. Pour the syrup over
them quickly ana seal tnf tiglt. The
Germans frequently use half \
in place of all sugar in this process
In this case cover the berries with
the sugar, allowing only a half pound
of sugar to each pound of fruit Aft
er standing and draining add a quar-
ter of a pound of honey for each
pound of fruit and boil down to two
thirds of the original quantity. In
using honey the syrup must be care
fully skinned before filling the jars.

FEEDING GULLs LIKE DOVES.
Soldier at Lonely Military Post in
Washington Has "A Novel
Experience.

An interesting incident regarding
the tameness of sea gulls is related by.
Sergeant Albert l. Smith, of battery l,
FIJI st artillery, United States army,
says a report Of the National Audubon
society. 1T may interest you to hear
of an incident that was part of my
daily pastime while stationed at Fort
Candy, state of Washington, which is
lonely post, sticking up on the jagged
cliffs. There were innumerable sea
gulls inhabiting the rocks. and during
the rigorous winter months l noticed
that the poor birds scarcely caught suf-
ficient food from the stormy waters of
the coast. began by depositing among
the rocks the neglected remains from
our mess table after each meal. The
feathered indigents readily understood
my purpose and gathered in vast num-
bers to partake of our soldier food.
Soon they grew exceedingly tame and
particularly alert for the bugle's mess
call, the notes of which, no doubt, were
as welcome to them as to us. Round
and round they would circle, screaming
for joy, and when appeared on the
rocks with their food box they would
futter about me like gentle barnyard
poultry, scrambling over my body or
alighting on my wrists opeck a morsel
from my fingers"
The above story is vouched for by
William H. Kobbe, who says: "The
gull story is doubtless true. 1 have
often seen the battery cooks thus feed
the birds, which became so tame as to
become nuisance, walking up and
down the road and even into the kitch-
en-. 1 can hardly believe that the birds
could distinguish mess from any other
call, but it is possible that all the calls
during the middle of the day had the
same effect upon them"

Someone who was interested in the
fact has discovered that while Ameri-
can women are shorter than their Eng
lish sisters, their legs are much more
symmetrical and their ankles more
graceful. The belief is expressed that
the reason for this lies in the great love
of the American women for rocking
chairs. Here woman will sit down
in rocking chair, and, apparently hap
py, rock by the hour, were she not dis
turbed, perhaps not knowing that the
mere movement employed to keep the
chair in motion does, by repeated
pushes of the toes, make the instep
high, the calf round and full, and so
keep from the ankle an accumulation
of f1esh.-Washingt Post.

moReANIzIna TAE MARKET.

4 FTER READING THE DETAILS
4 of the United states Shipbuilding
deal as revealed in yesterdays dis
matches it is easy to understand why
the investing public has lost its con-
hdence in the industrial stocks, COM
monty known as the trusts hoated by
J. 2. Morgan. This particular trust
was engineered by c. NJ. Schwab and
j. 2. Morgan. In payment Of their
services they received between them
stocks valued, then, at $9,00O,0Q0. Prac-
ticalIy their only service was the loan
Of their names to inspire confidence in
the undertaking, and as both Of them
were then in good standing, the project
promised success.
The astonishing and fatal feature Of
the programme was revealed in the
testimony of a witness in suits now
pending for the reorganization Of the
company. This witness shows that Mr..
Morgan and Mr.. Schvab stipulated
that their stock should be sold at once
and that no other stock should be
placed on the market until their hold
ings had been disposed Of That is TO
say, Mr.. Schwab and Mr.. Morgan were
advising openly the purchase of these
securities as a good investment while
they themselves meant to unload the
stocks secretly. Their friends and the
public which had confidence in Fthe
good faith Of Morgan and Schwah
bought on the strength Of their names
/ and when the crash came they found
they had been betrayed by the two men
whose personal guarantee had hoated
! the whole enterprise.
/ How such hnanciering is regarded is
1 shown by the astonishment expressed
in Wall street when the exposure came
/ and Wall street is not supposed TO bC
very squeamish, either, on questions Of
honor, when a stock deal is involved
Not only did the disclosure affect tht

But the best of man does not perish.
We bury the brain that planned for others

dominated and directed all rises triumph

ave Law away the Implements with
which he wrought, but the gentle, modest
patient sympathetic, loyal, brave and
manly man who we knew is not dead and
cannot die. 1t would be unfair to count
the loss of his departure without count
ing the gain Of his existence.
THE gift Of his life we have and of
this the tomb cannot deprive us. Separa-
ton sudden and distressing as it is can

the recollection OF forty years of affec-
ton. tenderness and confidence, nor from
others the memory Of helpful companion

THE TEACHERS PREDIcAmERT.

THE QUESTION is: What are the
} teachers going to do about it,
During their recent state convention
they listened to a number of sage re-
marks from Professor Pattengiu. dis
tinguished eastern pedagogue. Among
the other nuggets Of wisdom that fell
from the lips Of Professor Pattengiu
was an admonition 20 the teachers to
stay a. home at night. Presumably
he wants them 20 stay at home in or
der that they may improve their minds
by study, and SO better fit themselves
for the work Of instructing the young.
Very good advice. too, that is. The
teacher who doesn't study, either by
day or by night. or both day and night.
IS not a good teacher. Many Of them
have an idea that because they have
passed far beyond the elementary
grades IN their studies they are fully
competent 10 teach the elementary pu-
pills without once glancing ahead OF
the daily lessons and preparing them
selves for the recitation hours to come.
Such teachers. however poorly they are
paid, aresoverpaid.
However, at the last meeting Of the
state Teachers association, the meet
ing Of 1902. a pedagogue whose name is
equally as far-reaehing and secure as
the fame Of Professor Pattengfl, gave
some very different advice to his-shau

tleman strongly argued that teachers
should do some roaming. He urged
them to get out and see people; "a

new ones. to make themselves pOpu-
