SELF INDUCED AILMENTS.
The Folly of Nursing the Habit of
 Not Feeling We'll.

Few people realize that their ailments are largely self induced, says O. S. Mar den in Success. They get into habit of not feeling well. If they get, up in the morning with q slight headache oi some other trifling indisposition, in stead of trying to rise above this con ditlon they take positive pleasure in expatiating upon their feelings to any bne who will listen. Instead of combat ing the tendency to illness by filling the lungs with pure, fresh air they dose themselves with "headache tablets" oi some other patent specific warranted te cure whatever i'll they think they are suffering from. They begin to pity themselves and try to attract pity and sympathy from others. Unconsciously by detailing and dwelling upon theii symptoms they re-enforce the first sim pie suggestions of illness by a whole army of thoughts and fears and images of disease until they are united to dc a days work in their homes or offices.
 There is greater danger that young girls who are delicate while growing up and lounge around the house and lie down whenever they feel the least bii out of sorts will form habit of inva lidism when they reach maturity.
 How often do we see such girli ''brace up" at once when anything hap pens which interests or excites them An invitation to reception or ball oi any other pleasant social function act, like tonic. For the time being an in stantaneous cure Is effected. They arc as well as anybody until after the en tertainment.
 Indulgent mothers are frequently tt blame for this physical and mental lazi ness, for it is nothing more, on the pari of their daughters. A lounge or sofa ii a positive curse in many home, be cause 1t is such temptation to lie down and succumb to trihing sugges tions of illness or the least lndisposi. tion. A habit of giving in whenever you "don't feel like it" is fatal to aA achievement and ruinous to self disci. pline. self boise and nobility and dig nity of bearing.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Laying hens must have meat or milk Always feed some whole grain at night.
 Early matched chickens usually make the best breeding fowls.
 Feeding little at time and often Is better than overlooking at any time. A liberal use of ground bone will cor rect the tendency to laying soft shelled eggs.
 Keeping fowls on hard floors will ire quently cause swollen feet and legs. They must have some loose ground to scratch over.
 Turkeys must have a good range to be profitable. They are insect eaters by nature and need a good range in order to thrive well and grow economically.
 After the ducks and geese are through laying the feathers should be picked regularly. The time to pick them is when the feathers are ripe and before the fowls begin to lose them.

The Worm Turua.

They were almost ready to start, and, like good husband. MT. Smoker wait ed patiently for his wife to put the fin- ishing touches to her toilet. She was adjusting her hat and took a hat pin from big cushion. Suddenly she ex. claimed:
 q think it's shame!'
 "Yes, my dear," nervously assented MT. Smoker.
 "I mean the way these writers say that women sharpen lead pencils and open cans with their husbands razors."
 "Yes, my dear"
 "Yes. Now, never do such things with your razor. and 1 don't believe any woman does as the writers allege. l looked at your razor once when l had box of sardines to open, but 1t was SC sharp and so wabbly in the handle that was afraid to use 1t. Besides, when want to sharpen pencil and have no knife I nibble point on it."
 "Yes, my dear"
 "But if the writers wish to put some. thing true in the papers why don't they go for the men who use their wives hat pins for pipe cleaners? Ugh, you nasty brutes!"
 MT. Smoker forgot to say "Yes, my dear."-New York Times.

John wesley,s shrewi.h Wife,

One of his biographers declares that if he had searched the whole kingdom the evangelist John Wesley would hardly have found woman more un. suitable than she whom he married. She did not even confine herself to her tongue in her attacks. More than once she laid violent hands on him. Jack" said John Hampson to his son, q was once on the point of committing murder. It was when I was in the north of Ireland and I went into a room and found Mrs. Wesley foaming with fury. Her husband was on the floor, where she had been trailing him by the hair of his head, and she her self was still holding in her hand ven. erable locks which she had plucked out by the roots. felt" continued Hamp. son, who was giant of man, thougA not one of Wesley's warmest friends "I felt as though I could have knocked the soul out of her."-Everybody's Magazine.

When Dinner h Over.

As rule an hour to an hour and a half is spent in conversation after a dinner when neither host nor guests have any other engagement for the evening. When a lady and gentleman are dining together the lady makes the first motion at departure, the gentle man promptly following her lead. No matter how numerous the company, no guest should depart without bidding adieu to the hostess with thanks for her hospitality. These need be neither stiff nor effusive, just some little words of appreciation of the pleasure you have enjoyed in her home. Goodbys may be said to other friends present before you bid adieu to the hostess or to any standing near the door as you pass out, but do not stop for any lengthy conversation after having said good night to your eDtertainerk

The Antiquity of Hospitals.

Many centuries before the Christian sra there existed in India and CeyloR institutions which performed the func- tions of hospitals RealEncyclopadie. Eulenburg). They were built and main. tained by the Buddhists. In the Scrip ture there is mention of what the Hebrews called Bethesda, bur this was nothing more than few rude huts in the neighborhood of mineral spring supposed to have healing properties. According to Lecky ("History of Euro pean Morals'), the first hospital was founded by Roman lady named Fa- biola, about the fourth century, at Rome. Soon after another hospital was founded by St. Pammachus, and an- other by St. Basil at C9sarea. During the crusades numerous hospitals arose in all parts of Europe. San Spiritu. built by Innocent III., was erected in 1904 at Rome. The first hospital in England was built by Lanfrana. arch bishop of Canterbury, in 10Sc The first hospital of any size erected in America was the Pennsylvania hospi- tai in Philadelphia, begun in 1751 by Dr. Bond and Benjamin Franklin Philadelphia Medical Journal.

STANDARD TIME.
fts Origin md the Arrangement Of
 Its Dividing Lines.

Standard time is system arranged by the railroads of the United States md Canada originally. The purpose was to do away with the multitude of different times used in business which affected the railways and in operating the lines. The territory in which these railroads lay was divided Into belts running north and south and about J5 degrees wide, from east to west; in every such division of the country all railway business was to be done on the same time. In the mari time provinces of Canada and part of Maine the time used was that of the sixtieth meridian west of Greenwich. In the rest of New England and as far west as Pittsburg and Buffalo the time fixed was that of the seventy-ffth meridian, which is the time of Wash ington. The next belt westward was ninet.eth meridian time, which Is about the local time of New Orleans, and then comes mountain time, which is nearly that of Denver. Still farther west IS iaclHc tune, WHICH IS that or the one hundred and twentieth merid- ian. Standard time divisions are not just 15 degrees from east to west nor are their boundaries regular They are mapped out to suit the railroads, and the changes are usually fixed at points which are functions for great railways pr division terminals on the same lines. Sun time is supposed by most people to ba the actual astronomical time of ev- cry place from day to day. but it is really an averaging or equalizing of exact local time. for the movements of the earth are too irregular to permit the convenient use of astronomical time. just as it is determined by the position of the heavenly bodies.-Detroit Free Press.

LYNCH LAW.
It May Have Taken It's Name From a'
 Mayor of Galway.

 Mayor of Galway.
 About the year 1500 one James Fitz- stephens Lynch was mayor of the town of Galway, in Ireland. He had sent his son on trading expedition to Spain with good cargo and large sum of money. The young man returned with ship load of valuable commodities which he reported as having been pur-- chased with the money and with the proceeds of the outgoing cargo. After some time Spaniard came along, de- manding payment from the mayor for the goods he alleged had been bought on credit by his son. The mayor de- clined payment, as his son averred he had paid in cash for the goods. Unfor- tunately for the latter, sailor who had been one of the crew on examina- tion by Mayor Lynch declared that his unworthy son had spent in reckless debauchery not only the money intrust- ed to him, but the proceeds of the cargo as well; that he had then bought goods from large firm on credit. and that when one of the partners of the firm came down to the ship before sail ing to receive the money young LyDclr murdered the man and had him thrown overheard to conceal the facts from his father.
 The young man was immediately ar rested and brought before his fathery who, notwithstanding the fearful en- treaties of his wife and daughters, sen tenced him to death. He took him up- stairs in his warehouse, adjusted rope around his neck, having first se- cured it inside, and then pushed tho young man out of the window, where his dying struggles were witnessed by the inhabitants of the town of Galway. In the town records this entry is yet to be seen:
 "James Lynch, mayor of Galway, hanged his own son out of the window for defrauding and killing strangers, without martial or common law, to show q good example to posterity."
 It may be from that incident that lynch law took its name. It is not a pe-- cular American institution, as is con- monly supposed. but has been practlceN in other countries. The English had walled town in Devonshire of the name of Lydford, which became noted for the summary punishments inflicted on notorious offenders. They became pro- verbal in England as Lydford law, and it is not impossible that lynch may be corruption of Lydford. In Scotland 1t was known as "Jedburgh justice"
 James Lynch, justice of the peace in one of the Piedmont counties in Vir- ginia. whose methods were both suIn- mary and severe, is also credited with having given his name to this offhand and expeditions mode of dealing with, criminals now generally known ass lynch law.-Pittsburg Gazette.

A Contrast In Lungs.

Three human lungs lie next one an. other in the anatomical museum at Edinburgh university. The first is that of an Eskimo and is snow white. In life this would, of course, be ruddy from the presence of blood. The third is that of coal miner and is coal black. The intermediate one is that of a town dweller and is a dirty slate gray, as are the lungs of all dwellers in cities at this moment.

THE PASSING YEAR.

A.ross the shadows Of the night
There come to my expectant ear
The twelve deep notes that tell the flight
OF vet another passing year.
Its limits reached, Its work is done,
III record sealed and sent on high,
unknowu to all and seen by none
Except Gods own allseeing eye.
An mel those years, those vanished years,
In memory, but beyond recall,
How flled with foolish doubts and fears,
How stained with sin and blotted ALI
what can we ask of thee but grace
10 make these failures Of the past
The beacon lights by which to trace
Our way to thee, Christ, at last!
Farewell. Old Year! There have been days
Of grief and ill-so, too, Of good;
And for them both we give God praise,
Though at the time misunderstood.
uis wisdom measures all our needs;
He knows the weakness of our frame;
His love our highest thought exceeds;
He calls us by his own dear name.
So pass the years in solemn state
Beyond our ken; we count the sun;
They come and go, we watch and walt
Until our own set time shall come,
God of the years, from out whose hand,
With all our precious gifts they come,
Give us the grace to understand,
And make them helps to lead us homet
Christian Work.
