WHAT THE WINDS BRING.

The wind needs to be noted to intel
ligently observe the clouds. The east
wind is usually certain to bring storm,
which in this part of the country will
last until it changes to the west. The
direction of the change, however, has
much to do with the clearing. If the
wind works around to the west by way
of the north, clearing weather is not
to be expected. This is what the sail
ors call "backing round" When it
works around to the west by way Of
the south the storm is over. The
south wind sometimes brings rain, but
this depends good deal upon the sea-
son. 1t will do it more often in winter
than summer The west wind is usu-
ally dry wind, except when it brings
thunder showers, which commonl y an
nounce themselves without waiting for
ntroductions.-Scie

ONLY A MASK.

Many are not being benefited by
the summer vacation as they should
be. Now, Notwithstanding much out
door life, they are little if any stronger
than they were. The tan on their
faces is darker and makes them look
healthier, but it is only mask. They
are still nervous, easily tired, upset by
triaes, and they do not eat or sleep
we'll. What they need is what tones
the nerves, perfect digestion, creates
appetite, and makes sleep refreshing,
and that is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Pupils
and teachers generally will find the
brief purpose Of the vacation best Oh.

HOW BRAIN WORKERS
SHOULD EAT.

1t is all right for the man who labors
all day in the open air to eat freely;
but the man Of sedentary habits, the
brain worker, must adapt his way Of
living to his needs. He must be well
nourished, for the brain is incapable Of
good work unless we'll supplied with
pure blood, but such a man cannot
possibly furnish vital force to digest
three large meals daily. If he tries it
nature will protest at every step. The
chemical changes of digestion will be
imperfectly performed. The stomach
will neither secrete freely nor churn
the food with cheerful alacrity; the
pyloric orifce contracts and allows
such chyme to pass with grudging re-
luctance; the intestinal lacteals are
ashamed to absorb such miserable pab-
ulum, which chokes, irritates and con-
gests them, so the large meal remains
in the digestive organs to ferment,
putrefy and steep the individual in
foul gases and depraved secretions.
But the system can furnish enough
vital force to convert small meal into
pabulum Of high standard, which will
be absorbed without difficulty. Three
such small meals are not enough to
keep the individual properly nourished,
however; four to six will b, required.
Each should consist of but one or at
most two articles of food, the diet to
be varied by changes at meals. The
portion of food served must be small;
the patient must stop as soon as the
appetite is satisfied, and gaseous dis
tention is proof positive that the meals
are still too large or too close together.

EVIL EFFECTS OF FEAR.

1t is generally asserted by those
who make specially of studying hu-
man nature that nothing more mars
the happiness Of life or hinders its sue
cess than fear. It affects character,
lessons ambition, sometimes causes
diseases, and all along the line pre-
vents worthy men achieving what
their merits deserve. Fear is an ex.
cessive timidity, an overwrought mod
esty, which paralyzes all other ele-
ments of success the possessor may
have. 1t is always seeing bridges to
cross which have no existence, and
arousing apprehensions upon mere i'm
aginings. "The most extensive of all
the morbid mental conditions which
reflect themselves so disastrously on
the human system is the state of fear"
says DR.. William H. Holcomb. "It
bas many degrees or gradations, from
the state of extreme alarm, fright or
terror, down to the slightest shade of
apprehension of impending evil. But
all along the line it is the same thing
a paralyzing impressing upon the cen
,ers Of life which can produce, through
the agency Of the nervous system, a
vast variety of morbid symptoms in
every tissue of the body" "Fear is
like carbonic acid gas pumped into
ones atmosphere" says Horace Fleth-
er; "it causes mental, moral and spir-
itual asphyxiation and sometimes
death-death to energy, death to tis-
sue and death to all growth"
Now this subject may seem at first
sight abstract and of do practical
everyday value. That this is great
mistake. Fear is cultivation which
begins with the early education of the
child. It is cautioned thousand
times a year to look out for that; it
may get poisoned, it may get bitten,
it may get killed something terrible
may happen to it if it does not do 50
and so. There are plenty of men and
women who cannot bear the sight Of
some harmless animal or insect be-
cause as children they were told it
would hurt them. So from youth up,
from the cradle, too often there is in
stilled into the plastic mind of child
the terrible image Of fear. 1t is well
to have a judicious caution: but not
overtimidity. No brave man ever
had mother possessed of all kinds of
fear. The man who succeeds springs
from parents who did not know how
to shudder at pretty dangers, but who
met them and conquered them.

BE POLITE.

John G. Shedd, millionaire and
partner of Marshall Field in the dry
goods business, talked to 500 men in
his employ and gave them the keys to
success:
"The man who is not polite is 80
times out of 100 failure.
"High moral character is the best
commodity business man can keep in
stock.
"You can't be good salesman and
be a liar.
II wish there was no such thing as
tobacco in existence.
"You can't aim too high, and be
sure to pull the trigger before you get
wobbly.
"Breathe pure air. Associate with
gn,d companions. Drink plenty OF
pure water and nothing that will in
toxicate. Take plenty of wholesome
exercise. BY little training you will
have an outfit which take you far on
the road to success in business.
"Learn how to save. Give The mon
ey you are spending for tobacco and
drinks to your wife to put in the saw
ings bank. Don't even invest your
savings for the sake of the income. It's
very dangerous.
"The big head is the worst disease
that ever attacked a young man.
"The fellow who only thinks ordi-
narily and lives ordinarily and does
not much care, will never get any
where.
"Don't lose your temper. Let the
other fellow lose his.

found themselves really in need of
earning their daily bread have been
those who have made the successes in
life"

BEAUTY MEASURED IN THE
EYES.

In a perfect face every feature
should bear a certain fixed proportion
to every other feature. Take, for ex-
ample, the relation between the width
of the eyes and the width Of the
face.
The width of the face should be
equal to five eyes. The distance be-
tween the eyes should be exactly equal
to one eye.
Another important relation is that
between the eyes and the mouth. The
width Of the eyes should be equal to
two-thirds that of the mouth.
The nose should be equal in length
to the height of the forehead, of a re-
gular shape and precisely defined out
line. The forehead should be equal in
height to the length Of the nose and
of that part of the face below it.
Foreheads are high or low, round
or square, flat or convex. A smooth,
rounded, slightly convex forehead is
the most beautiful, but the higher, and
fuller it is, all other things being equ-
al, the greater the capacity and stren-
9Th of the mind.
The ancients admired low fore
head in woman. A large, broad fore
head gives a woman a masculine and
defiant look.
The ideal head rounds out above the
ears, globe-like; its size should be an
eighth part of the height of the whole
figure. The height and width of
woman's head should be one inch less
than a mans.
The ear should be twice the width
of the eye, and the distance from the
opening of the ear to the top of the
crown should be exactly the same
width as the head. Ears should be
small, delicate and compact, of shell.

The length of the neck should be
trife more than one-third of the length
of the head. The diameter of the neck
should be little less than one.half of
that of the head. 1t should be round.
ed and full.
The waist should be twice the size
of tue neck.
The length of the hand and wrist
should b equal to the length of the
face. If there is any discrepancy,
either the hand or the face is badly
proportioned.
The length of the index finger
should be exactly one-half the length
of the hand. The foot should be the
same length of the hand. The foot
same length of the forearm.
arm.
The left side of a woman's face is
nearly always the preittier. 1t is al
most invariably fuller than the right
side, which, by comparison, has a
slightly sunken appearance. The
right eye itself appears to lose some
thing of the animation shown by the
left, which is stronger. The right eye,
too, is somewhat higher than the
left.
The difference in the two sides of a
face is more noticeable in the old than
IN the young.

Eben Lufkin, Lawyer.

Roach & Lufkin, Attorneys-at-
Law" That was the firm name, but
everybody, including the office boy
and the book keeper, knew that Luf-
kin, Eben Lufkin, didn't amount to
much either in the affairs OF the office,
as lawyer or as an individual. He
was older than Judge Roach, Simmer,
slower, more silent, an old-fashioned
bachelor. As a matter of fact, his
position in the firm was more that of
chief clerk than partner. He wrote
most of the letters "by hand," a small,
beautiful, legible hand, of which he
was very proud. Judge Roach 'made
allowances for "Eben,' as he called
him. They had been classmates at
college, and the judge remembered
that Lufkin had been his guide, coun-
sellor and friend at school. In busi-
ness, though, things were different.
Roach was assertive, confident, push
ing. He had up-to date methods and
wore up to-date clothes. Lufkin had
the scholarship without any ability to
"get there" Roach was one of those
men who would have succeeded from
section hand to superintendency. He
got "next" to everything. After ten
years of profitable law practice he be-
gan to regard Eben more as one of the
office fixtures than as a friend and
equal.
Being wealthy by inheritance, the
division of profits with Lufkins didn't
matter to Judge Roach, but his part
ner's cautious, hesitating, methodical
ways began to seem irksome. Lufkin
imagined that lie was the "safety" of
the partnership. Roach began to
think he was a hindrance; a dead
weight. He no longer felt the need of
an adviser, and he resented criticism.
Eben seldom ventured to interfere
with affairs, but Roach "felt" that his
acts were estimated, bis words weigh
ed, his manners considered, his behav-
ior criticised by the silent, watchful,
gentle old fellow behind the desk.
Even Lufkin's rusty black alpaca coat
looked like tacit remonstrance against
Roach's smart blue serge "military."
"He's too SLOW" thought the judge.
"He's boy yet," said Lufkin to
himself.
"Wonder if Eben'll stand it." thought
Roach, when he made up his mind to
employ young woman stenographer.
"a good wife would make man Of
him." mused Lufkin, who didn't know
anything about the impending innova-
ton.
The new stenographer was the
daug Inter of one of the firms deceased
clients. She was southern girl, with
bruno, serious face, much wavy black
hair, wistful gray-blue eyes and dis
tant manner. Mr.. Lufkin looked at
her as he mi ght have looked at a
strange, beautiful insect when his part
ner stammered an introduction, but he
took the large, white hand she held out
to him and said:
"Thank you, Miss Gildersleeve.
