Secrets Of Success.

From the London (Ky.) Echo.
A certain fellow who answered adver-
tisements in cheap story papers has had
some interesting experiences He learned
that by sending 81 to Yankee he could
get cure for drunkenness. And he did.
It was to take the pledge and keep it."
Then he sent fifty 2-cent stamps to find
out how to raise turnips successfully He
found out-"Just take hold of the tops and
pull"
Being young, he wished to marry, and
sent thirty-four 1-cent stamps to a Chi
cago firm for information as to how to
make an impression. When the answer
came 1t read, "Sit down on a pan of
dough-" It was little rough, but he was
a patient man, and thought he would yet
succeed
Next advertisement he answered read,
How to double your money in six months"
He was told to convert his money into bills,
fold them and he would see his money
doubled.
Next he sent for twelve useful household
articles. and he got a package Of needles.
He was slow to learn, SO he sent 81 to
find out 'how to get rich" Work like
the devil and never spend cent" and that
stopped him.
But his brother wrote to find out how to
write without pen or ink. He was told to
use a lead pencil.
He paid 81 to learn how to live without
work. and was told on a postal card, Fish
for suckers. as we do"

Interpretations.
From the London Post.


1t is curious to observe how many lines
and phrases there are which have been
habitually misquoted for so long a time
that the inaccuracy has become crystal
lized. and the new form has taken the
place of the old. even with people who pro-
fess some love for literature. The young
person of average education will glIbly
quote "a man convinced against his will is
of the same opinion STILL" regardless Of the
fact that conviction is the assent of the
what Butler wrote was HE that complies
against his will Is of his own opinion STILL"
which Is not, like the stock version, rank
nonsense. The Bible does not tell us that
the tongue is an unruly member" but
that 1t is IAN unruly eyil' or, according
to the revised version, "a restless evil it is
full OF deadly poison" Portia does not
plead, in the words usually ascribed to her,
from heaven but that ut droppeth as the
gentle rain from heaven" and Lorenzo, in
the same play, distrusts "the man who
hath no music in himself'--not 'in his
ridge did not write land not drop to
drink" but NOR any drop to drink"
Prior's line was not small but "fine by
degrees and beautifully less" Gray did
not describe the ''even tenor." but ''the
noiseless tenor Of their way" Even our
pastors now and then violate the rubric by
putting "just" before "cause," instead Of
before impeachment" in publishing banns
of marriage. and more than one biblical
passage might be mentioned as being fire.
slip Of this kind was held to be almost as
discreditable as false quantity. The ia
miliar misquotations of Milton's Fresh
woods and pastures new" and Pope's "a
little learning is dangerous thing have
been deplored times without number, and
can never be got rid Of.

As to Spelling Reform.
From the Minneapolis Tribune.


There is a new outbreak Of spelling re-
form. Earnest persons are writing to the
newspapers about 1t. and some newspapers
are trying to begin at home and reform
their own spelling. according to the arti-
fetal rules Of the learned societies. It is
the old story. I'VE are to begin with SIM
plifying the spelling of twelve large and
hard words. When we have induced all the
users of English to adopt our reformed
spelling Of these, we are to take twelve
more, and 80 on, until we have lightly ad-
ventured all through the dictionary from A
to lizard. VIII the earnest refOrmers never
learn that the spelling, writing and pro-
nunciation Of the English language are
among the things beyond control by statute
law or mass meeting resolution? We do not
spell the English language. The English
language spells itself. and we have to go
along with 1t. 1t Is g. living organism, fluid,
growing, changing, like a jelly fish floating
In the water. We talk wisely about the
laws Of language; but the wisest men tell
us that they know little about them. Ii
the English language. or any living Ian
guage. have a. formative. shaping force, 1t
Is the general, unconscious consent Of its
users. as vague as 1t Is Irresistible, as fluid
and shifting as language itself. When a
language begins to yield to the shaping
hand Of the learned academies 1t begins to
die. When It is dead you may spell and
pronounce It any way you like. as we spell
and pronounce Latin and Greek. But not
before,

The Shifting Of the Bull's-Eye.
from the London Morning Post.

A series Of curious observations have
been made by DR.. Friedrich Riehl On the
apparent change Of position Of the bulls
eye on a target during the day. This
change of position can be observed most
accurately If the shooting range extends
from north to south. with the target at the
north end of the range. For instance, says
he, If a marksman on a MINDLESS, cloud
less day has set his sights so carefully that
at II O'Clock in the day properly aimed
bullet will hit the center of the bulTs-eye.
he will find on repeating the experiment
next morning-all other things but the
hour remaining unchanged-that his shot
will be marked high left" DR.. Riehl has
formulated the following law Of the ap-
parent changeabilfty of the ull's-eye:
'"The bull's-eye is apparently attracted by
the position of the sun, or of any other
luminous point, and apparently during tho
day follows the course Of the sun in q
SeZni-circular line on the target He
contents himself with affirming this law,
leaving the explanation to others. He
thinks that this seemingly changed posi-.
ton of an object under the changing in.
fuence of light cannot be produced BY
simple laws OF refraction. nor by tho
changing temperature of the air near the
surface Of the earth, nor by changing
barometric pressure. The change of posi-
ton, he points out, can be shown to be
instantly responsive to the sun breaking
through a cloud. 1t cannot be akin to
mirage, because the shooter would then
have to lower his gun at noon instead OF
elevating 1t. as he has to do now.

On Growing Old.
|, it not sad to grow old?

Is it not sad to grow old2
The Friend: Say rather that 1t is very
difficult art, and one which few men have
ever acquired. But where is he who I'M
derstands his trade? Do the young know
how to be young? the rich to be rich? Ora
ciously to bear health Is perhaps as rare
as it Is so to bear illness. Each one dab
bles in the business Of others and gives
them advice.
To grow old is sad. indeed, II what you
want is to hold back the receding years, to
keep your hair from growing white, your
eyes from becoming dim, and the wrinkles
from chiseling their way across your brow.
But If from all these vicissitudes to which
life subjects you, you draw bit Of wis
dom. of profit, Of goodness. to grow old is
to become free and large. One Of the most
beautiful things in the world Is an old per-
son who, made better by experience, more
indulgent, more charitable, loves mankind
in spite of its wretchedness and adores
youth without the slightest tendency to
mimic it. Such a person Is like an cid
Stradivarius whose tone has become SO
sweet that its value is increased hundred
fold. and It seems almost to have SOUL

The Treating Habit.
From the Springfield Union.

Is it not a fact that men really spend IN
treating amounts that they would hesitate
to give away no mater how deserving the
charity? 1t is a trait of human character
that comes through the all absorbing dis
position to hold your end up" when with
a friend. Hundreds of men take thousands
OF drinks that they do not want and other
hundreds pay for thousands that are not
desired Two men meet and one says,
mighty glad to see you. Let's have some-
thing" Neither generally needs or even
wants a drink. But the man who offers II
wants to show that he is generous. He
takes this method of proving that he fs
glad to meet his friend. The friend after
he has taken the drink that he did not
want, to prove that he, too, Is good
fellow, insists upon a second round. The
German custom of entering a saloon, TAX
ing drink and paying for it and for no
others, If adopted in America, would prove
blessing. The American custom of treat
ing is decidedly curse. What we do for
friendships sake costs US many dollar
and M ny a pang.

A Word to Boys.

Horace Mann.
You are made to be kind, boys, generous,
magnanimous.
If there Is boy in school who has a club
foot, don't let him know you ever saw it.
If there is poor boy with ragged clothes,
don't talk about rags in his hearing.
If there Is lame boy assign him some
part in the game that doesn't require run
ming.
If there is hungry one, give him part Of
your dinner.
If there is a dull one, help him learn his
lesson.
If there is bright one be not envious of
him; for If one boy is proud of his talents
and another Is envious of them. there are
two great wrongs and no more talent than
before.
If larger or stronger boy has injured
you and Is sorry for It. forgive him. All
the school will show by their countenances
how much better it is than to have great
fuss. S

Decline Of the ESSAY.
David Graham Phillips in Success.

David Graham Phillips in Success.
Why do we no longer find in these maya
zines the long essays that were the back
bone Of the old-style periodicals? Is 1t be-
cause there are, nowadays. no men who
like to and are able to take their pens In
hand and ramble on and on aimlessly over
hill and dale, with many a leisurely pause
and occasional airy fightsf Is 1t because
the editors can find no writer's who are
surcharged with views on all sorts Of alb
stract subjects and could be moved to Inn
part those views at length to the readers
of magazinesf Certainly not. Almost ey.
cry man who writes at all would like to
write essays-long essays. But the wise
editors won't have them any more, because
the people won't read them and won't even
take magazines that get the reputation of
harboring them. II an editor Graves q
small circulation insthis day, let him gather
the essayists about him and freely turn
them loose upon his pages.

Training Of Girls.

From the London Saturday Review.
The lopsided education to which our girls
were condemned In the past has produced a
lopsided race Of woman. Training. or the
lack of It. and not the mere fact Of sex is
responsible for most OF the weak points in
woman's physique and In her mental and
moral attributes. Such girls as have been
already brought un in the freer manner of
today take broad, clear views Of the facts

From the Dublin Freeman's Journal.

their merits, remembering always that 1t

The Idaho State Medical society,
in executive session Friday evening,
Endorsed the pure food law passed by
the last Legislature. = The action of
the society will greatly strengthen
the hands of Pure Food Inspector
Mcpherson, who brought the question
TO the attention of the physicians.
Had time permitted, the members
Of the society would have gone more
deeply into the workings Of the pure
food law and have shown by discuss
ion the deleterious effects of so-called
preservatives which have been so ex-
tensively used by dairymen and
butchers.
Following is the resolution adopted
by the society;
Whereas, The people of Idaho are
interested in the preservation Of the
health rs we'll as the continuation of
the prosperity Of the people, the
Idaho State Medical society heartily
indorse the pure food Law, which is
designed to guard the Teople from the
injurious effects of adulterated food,
and would recommend the cO-opera-
tion of all intelligent citizens in aid
ing the state food inspector in the
performance of his duties. - Idaho
