FOR THOUGHTFUL CONTEMPLATION.

Silence is often more eloquent than
superabundance of words.
Poverty of possession need not be
discreditable; poverty of life al
ways is.
Perhaps two can live as cheaply as
one but most people would rather be
the one.
The anarchist seems to lose sight
of the fact that some rich men were
born that way.
The attention paid to inconsequen-
tial things causes US to overlook many
in her own child is blind to those in
other children.
Many men fall by the wayside be-
cause of unwillingness to take hold of
the timely warnings.
When you step up on one promise
you will always find higher and a
better one before you.
If men were as anxious to do right
as they are to get their rights, the
world would soon be righted.
How easy it is for one to suggest
a sure way for some one else to man.
age troublesome affair.
The man with the striking auto
graph is not always as important as
he would thus make believe.
The roots of a strong tree do not
make much rustic, but they do the
hanging on in time of storm.
Our business undoubtedly is not to
see what lies dimly at distance, but
to do what lies clearly at hand.
The idler that dreameth of good
living sufereth hunger, but he who
hath dug for it liveth in palace.

A TYPOGRAPHICAL TRAGEDY.

"You must have bunch of hui
morists working on your linotype ma
chimes, haven't you?" asked the poet,
as he entered the Office.
Haven't noticed that any of them
have any failing in that line, answer
ed the editor.
"Well, you're poor observer.
Do you read your own paper 7"
Occasionally"
"Did you read my poem, TO
Agatha, in yesterdays issue!"
"N-no."
''I thought not. In the poem I
wrote line which read, ! love you
better than love my life.
"That was a neat line"
''And one of your linotype humor-
lists made it read, I love you better
than l love my wife. ;"
"Er-'
"Exactly-my wife. And my wife,
not being acquainted with the failings
of these key thumpers, thinks the
poem was printed exactly as it was
written and hasn't spoken to me since
it was published"
And after taking kick at the desk
he crossed the hall and fell down the
elevator shaft.

HOW WARS BEGIN.

Here's remarkable statement, !"
said Mr.. Bibbin, looking up from his
newspaper.
"What is it, dear1" his wife asked.
"It says there has not been a de-
cade in the last five centuries in which
war has not been waged somewhere
in the world"
"Isn't that dreadful? Why can't
people be reasonable and live in
peace 7"
Because people are mostly intol-
Grant fools," Mr. Bibbin answered.
"I declare it makes man ashamed
of his Kind" He crumbled the pa
per and dashed it to the floor.
"There, there, Elias" said his
wife, don't get excited"
"Who's getting excited? Is'pose
I've got right to express an opinion
in my own house. F"
"It's no more your house than
mine, I'd have you know" said Mrs.
Bibbin. ''I guess l worked and
scrimped as hard as you did to get it. !"
''See, here, madam -

SHORT AND LONG COURTsH1Ps.

Young ladies in Russia are not at
all averse to long engagements and
use all sorts of articles to stave off
the wedding day as long as possible,
while in Siam, where old maids are
unknown, as all girls marry, the rec
ognized length of an engagement is
one month. If an engaged man in
the Argentine Republic dallies beyond
reasonable time in leading his fancee
to the altar, he is heavily fined, and
if resident of the republic should
fail to marry he is taxed until he
reaches the age of eighty. In no
country in the world are courtships so
abnormally long as in Bohemia, where
engagements commonly last from fif-
teen to twenty years. In fact, there
recently died at the age of ninety-nine
an old man who had been courting
for seventy-fve years and who was
married on his deathbed.

THE DRY MEAL THEORY.

For many day in the past there
was a more or less we'll established
belief that it was injurious to drink
anything with the meals. The same
opinion prevails largely today, but
upon what scientific basis is hard to
determine. 1t is only theory and
not fact, according to good medical
authority. Perhaps the idea origin
ated from the apparent or supposed
habits OF wild and domestic animals.
Now, wild animals drink when feed
ing when they have the opportunity
which is not frequent, and they sure
ly do drink as soon after eating as
they can conveniently reach water
Ing place. Domestic animals, while
feeding, frequently do not get as
much drink as they require, either in
trough or flowing stream-the one
being neglected and the other too far
away IF left 60 <l4Saaae~1.~s, eand
amply provided for, they will drink
frequently while eating. To fatten
well they must be allowed their liber-
ty in this regard.
If nature is to be guide, her most
laundering declarations are against
dry meals. Every one who eats
heartily must very frequently exper-
ience an over-mastering, uncontrolIa-
BILE thirst. What is it but the still
small voice in the depths of the di-
gestive apparatus clamoring for a re-
freshing beverage, which nothing but
pure sparkling water can silence? A
leading medical journal gives the phil
osophy of the whole thing in words
something like these If properly

empty stomach is quiescent. On the
ingestion of food activity begins, and
activity increases temperature. This

she thinks all men good because, per-
chance, her father was. Farmers
sons go to cities and towns for wives,
and city girls are eager to capture the
best catches of the country, and they
all are miserable when it is too late.
So runs the world; ''love is blind, =
and nothing will open the eyes but
matrimony.
The boys who propose to earn
homes by farming have no time to go
chasing around the country on rail-
road trains to sporting games and
fraternity meetings. as we see by the
papers young students, farmers sons
included, are doing. They have no
money to spend in this way, and they
should be too manly to thus trihe
away the substance of their hard
working farmer parents. They can
never be made the substantial, reliable
men the world so needs in this way.
The outgrowth of these expensive
sports is an exodus from the farms.
The boys want to get something that
will roll up dollars faster than farm
ing. They will risk the health and
peace farm life affords, they will risk
bringing up their own children in the
midst of city corruption if they can
get more money. "The love Of
money is the root of all evil' they
may learn later on.
The ideal farm boy who only aims
at competency honestly earned
wants no ill-gotten wealth. The
world is full of things for him to en-
Joy nearer home that costs little
money. He participates in those
higher pleasures that refresh the mind
and leave no sting of remorse to tor
ture the soul. He is the prop of his
parents, the neighbors respect him,
and positions of trust and responsible
ity are open to him.
Where did our nation S distinguish
ed men hail from? The farms. If
the farm home is good place to be
born and raised in, it is a good place
to stay in to start another generation
in the right track. Let us reflect on
the history of that lamented trio of
martyred presidents-Lincoln, Gar
field and McKinley-all barefooted
farm boys who won their first upward
steps at home.
They had no time for football and
boxing contests, in rowing, bowling
and match games of many varie-
ties, but spent it in splitting rails,
building fences, milking cows and
studying by candle light, and in all
ways helping their families and them
selves to earn an honest living and in
telligent lives. Had they remained
on the farms and spent their great
talents there, who knows but they
might today be living on estates of
their own earnings grand specimens
of the old-time country gentlemen
Carrying the sword and the musket
and controlling great armies and
thy sword into its place, for all they
that take the sword shall perish with
the sword" Even the greatest come
to grief if they trife with the Christian
principles they profess. The ideal
farm boy will not be tempted away
from his chosen pursuit by the "Lo
here's and 80 there's" He is en-
gagged in the high calling of feeding
the hungry and clothing the naked.
He went into it for life, and finds con-
tentment there.-Ma,y Sidney, in

VALUE OF THE srEsrA.

The need for the light slumber robe
or coverlet thrown over person when
lying down during the day, even in a
warm room is explained by the re-
duced circulation of the blood when
the body is in recumbent posture.
When one lies down the heart es-
pecially is eased temporarily of its
regular work. The body depends for
warmth on the rigor of the circula-
ton, and as the blood flows so much
more slowly through the veins when
one is lying down the missing warmth
must be made up by extra covering.
This temporary respite of the
hearts action also accounts for the
wholesomeness of the siesta, or for
the benefit derived from the half
hours lying down without sleep,
which so many nervous or high strung
people find recuperative.

be attributed its success.
There were four postoffices in the
hall, prettily decorated in different
colors, one in green, one in red, one
in blue. and one in yellow. From
each of these, Valentines and prizes
were distributed to the eager children
who presented tickets of correspond

toys or fancy articles for sale, and in
connection with each some amusing
