Why Should We Vork2

Work is activity in some phase Of
our life. Life is manifested in actiVi-
~, and inactivity would be stagnation,
which would be fatal 10 life.
In the universe wherever there is life
there is activity. This is true IN the
vegetable, the animal ard the human
worlds. This activity is a necessity
which runs through all organic life.
The life that is not crowned with en-
nobling work of some kind, either for
ones own livelihood or for the good OF
others, is an empty lifc-an abnormal
life.
Work is natural; idleness unnatural.
Work builds up, and inactivity tears
down. Idleness Is q violation Of our
being. Hence it is immoral.
There are manifold reasons why We
should work and no reason why We
should not. Those who are not obliged
to labor for their daily bread should
choose work Of some leind in obedience
to the universal law that we see run
ming all creation.
He who was Of the opinion that "the
man who does not work should not
eat' realized the demoralizing influence
Of a life spent in idleness.-American
Queen.

The Origin Of PyrogrnDhy.

About a century ago an ardst named
Cranch was standing one day fn front
Of a fire in his home at Administer
Over the fireplace was an oaken man
telpiece, and it occurred to Cranch that
this expansc Of wood might be i'm
proved by little ornamentation. BE
picked up the poker, heated 1t red hot
and began 10 sketch in bold design.
The result pleased him SO much that
he elaborated his work and began to at
tempt other fire pictures on panels Of
wood. These pet with a ready sale,
and Cranch soon gave all his time to
his new art. This was the beginning Of
what is now known as typography.
The poker artist CT today uses many
different shaped tools and has special
furnace in which they are kept heated.
The art has been elaborated greatly.
The knots, curls and ibers Of the wood
are often worked into the design and
delicate tinting produced by scorching
the panel.

The2trical Fay Days.
Every legitimate theater in New
York has two pay days-union and non
union. The union employees, which in
clude the men in the orchestra, the
stage hands. property men and stage
carpenters, are paid, as their union reg
ulations demand, On Saturday night.
The actors, who have 10 union. are not
paid until Tuesday, although their week
ends on Saturday with the nights per-
formancc. Their salaries are held up
two days merely to insure their reap
pearancc at the theater on Monday.
If the company were paid off on Sat
urday night unreliable or disafTected
members Of the organization might not
show up on Monday for rehearsal or
the evening performance, thus weaken
ing the production, but il the weeks
salary is held back they are reasonably
sure to report on Monday in order not
to lose what is coming to them. Ac-
tors are distinctly tcmperamental and
capricious, and if q manager were to
pay off on Saturday night and there ex-
listed any temporary dissatisfaction In
the company he could never tell wheth-
er he would have a chorus with which
to open up the week on Monday even
tng.-New York Press.

Too Tempting.

Miss Arabella Paxton bad long since
said goodby to her youth, but nobody
had accused her Of doing It with res1g-
nation.
what were you thinking cf to start
Cousin Arabella of in that merry-go-
round?" asked Mrs. Jennings at the
county fair. She had just received her
dizzy and disheveled relative at the end
Of a trip on the flying horses.
"You needn't look so severe at me"
said Mr.. Jennings reproachfully when
Cousin ArabelIa had been deposited on
a settee and left to recover her equilio-
rum. "She heard a woman say the
machine was enough to scare anybody
out of ten years growth, and after
that she was possessed to ride IN it."

The Mast Made rs Coffin.

The Macedonian was sent to the
Brooklyn navy yard to have a new
mast put into her. Old Jack Stady
bossed the yard then, and Captain
Hudson was commandant. When the
Job was finished ard the ship was
about to sail Jack called on the COM
mandant. Captain" he said, I've
axed you few fayors in my time, but
I'm goin' to bother you with one now.
When old Jack goes to Davy Jones,
locker he wants you to send him below
in a box made out Of that old mast.
Will you do it, str?' The captain
promised. Old Jack died not long after
ward, and Hudson was as good as his
word. The mast was cut down and
sawed into boards, and the honest soul
was buried in q coffin made Of them.

Looked Like Her Fathers Work.


4. certain surgeon had three leg am
putation cases in q week. The unusual
number of serious and similar opera
tons naturally caused talk in the sur
geon's household, and his little daugh-
ter was greatly interested. 4 few days
after the last operation the surgeons
wife and daughter were rummaglng IN
the attic. In a trunk was found a
daguerreotype depicting a girl Of about
eight years Of age. The portrait
through a peculiarly Of pose showed
only one leg Of the subject, the other
being doubled up under her in q man
ner truly feminine.
Whose picture IS that, mamma"
asked the surgeons daughter.

meanest Traders In the World.

There is 4 colony Of Syrian merchants
ii, Kingston, the capital Of Jamaica,
who could give cards and spades even
to the bland Chinaman for ways that
are dark and tricks that are vain"
They take one match out Of every box
they sell Until they have enough match
es to fill another box and so make an
extra cent. They shave tiny fakes off
cakes OF soap and boil them down to
make other cakes. They put q thin
layer Of lnolasses on the bottom Of the
scoop with which they serve rice so
that q few grains will stick to the bot
tom. These are only few Of their
thousand tricks to turn a dishonest
penny. Without doubt they are the
n1eanest traders IL the world.

ONLY Makes a Bad Matter Worse.

Perhaps you have never thought OF it
but the fact must be apparent to every
one that constipation is caused by a
lack OF water in the system, and the use
of drastic cathartics like the old fash
ioned pills only makes a bad matter
worse. Chamberlain;s Stomach and
Liver Tablets are much more mild and
gentle in their effect, and when the
proper dose is so natural that one can
hardly realize it is the effect of a med
icine. Try a 25 cent bottle of them.

ac, Plants Remain Upright.

If fowerpot is laid on its side the
stalk Of the plant growing in 1t grad
ually curves upward until it resumes
the vertical position. This is called
geotropic curvature, and the question
Is by what means the plant is stirnu-

One theory AYERS that movable starch
grains in the plant cells fall to the low
er side rs the position is changed and
by their pressure influence the mech
anisna of growth.
