Poor Richard Jr's Philosophy

Conventionality is not morality.
A ruffled mind makes a restless pill
low.
The stationary stone becomes a
mossback.
The game of divorce is not worth the
scandal.
Saying the wrong thing is misfor-
tune; but trying to explain it is disas-
ter.
When we fail our pride supports US;
when we succeed, 1t frequently betrays
us.
If man really wants but little here
below. he can get it by investing in
trust securities.
Most of our misfortunes are more
supportable than the comments OF III
friends upon them.
The worst thing about dismal people
who are gloomy at the prospect of 60
ing to heaven is that they don't go.
AS the home of the football cham
p%ionship and Mr.. Grover Cleveland,
Princeton is big enough to be twins.
1t begins to look as though the ma
tional house of representatives will
soon consist of one speaker and a roll
call.
Half the sting Of poverty is gone
when one keeps house for one's own
comfort and not for the comment of
ones ne:ghbors.
In cases of doubtful morality we u.s.
uallv ask ourselves If there Is any
harm In doing this; 1t might be better
to ask. is there any harm in letting 1t
alone.
In the winter the South proceeds to

oeJEor OF CHARiTYvANIsHINo
Incident in the London Life of Antoi.
 nettc Mackinley, the Singer.


 Antoinette Sterling MacKinley- than whom there was no more favorite American woman in London society," was beloved wife and an ideal moth- CT, and her house In Stanhope place was the center of the best people in the social aspect on the other side of the water. In so far as she ever ex- pressed an opinion on politics she was a conservative Republican, but with sufficient Democratic views to shake hands with coal beavers, dock laborers and prisoners, and frequently slipping gold piece of her own earning as a souvenir of the acquaintance.
 Her generosity extended to receiving the outcasts in her own home, and of- ten she would bring the sorrow-laden, parlah into her own drawing room and sing some one of the ballads of the heart that always drew crowded houses to London's favorite contralto.
 Her son Kenneth, the eldest of her children, Is his mothers boy in all ways, and he figures in story which amused London for many days. He went to his mothers room. put his arm around her and laid his face against her cheek. This aroused her affection ate suspicious.
 "Well, Kenneth, what can I do?"
 "Mumsey. dear, may I bring in a very particular friend of mine and in troduce him to you?
 Certainly, dear"
 "But-er-mumsey-he-is-not 6 gentleman-eXactly."
 ''It does not matter an atom. dear, Do you wish me to sing to himT
 "Yes, dear. But (falteringly) he he is only crossing sweeper"
 That's all right, Kenneth, adore crossing sweepers. Bring him in."
 "But mumsey, he has only got one leg"
 oh, poor man!
 "And-and he has only one eye"
 Dear, dear, how sad"
 "And-dearest He has lost his left arm."

For Japancse Soldiers.

Rice and dried fish is the uniform food of the Japanese army in cam paigning times. This is the way in which the rice is cooked. It is boiled until quite thick and glutinous. Next 1t is. placed on a ceramic slab, rolled out, and cut into squares. The squares are then placed in the sun. to dry and often turned. When hard as sea bis- cult and greatly reduced in weight, they can be stored.
 A certain number are allowed each day to the soldier. All he has to do is to break up square in boiling water and to add the dried fish. In . few minutes he has what seems to him . delicious thick soup. If he cannot pro- cure boiling water he simply eats his rice cake dry. In the fruit season he substitutes fruit, when he can obtain 1t, for the fish.

Not Their Families,

When a very young looking woman got on trolley car the other day she found there an old friend, also a very young looking woman, whom she evil dently had not seen for some time. After an exchange of greetings, which attracted the attention of other riders. one of the women said:
 How many children have you nowT
 All who were in earshot sat up and listened breathlessly for the reply.
 "Let me see," said the other, slowly. and then, after a pause, "I have six teen now. How many have you"
 "Oh, have only twelve" was the reply.
 Even the conductor pinched himself at this to see if he was awake, and other people looked around to see if either or both of the young women were accompanied by doctors or keep CTS. There was general air of dum- foundness among the passengers until. from further conversation of the two women, 1t transpired that they were teachers in separate private schools for children. Then everybody looked fool ish and made more or less of an at tempt to appear as though they had taken no interest from first to last.

SOAP TREE OF ALGERIA.
Steps Are Being Taken to Manufacture
 on Large Scale.

on Large SCules
 Consul General Guenther, at Frank. . fort-on-the- Main, Germany, sends in breezy letter to the Department of Commerce in which he tells about the "soap tree" of Algeria, says the Wash ington correspondent of the New York Herald. There are soap plants and soap trees. First, there is the soap wort which every Dutch and Belgian, Danish, German and Austrian house. wife raises in her garden and uses as she would soap, the leaves yielding profuse father. Then there is the Leu cocrinum montanum, kind of lily, which grows upon the slopes of the Rocky Mountains, and which the Dig ger Indians used to catch trout by filling the waters of the pool in which the fish live full of the soapy lather of this root, thus making the trout ill and causing them to rise to the sur face. Then there Is the Lechuguilla (Agave heteracantha), variety of cen tury plant, the roots of which the Mexicans use for soap, and the amole (Chlorogalum pomerldianum), sort of lily used by the Mexicans of lower Cal ifornia for soap.
 But, according to Consul Guenther, the soap tree differs from all these in the respect that it all but bears cakes of nice castillo soap instead of fruit or berries. Heretofore all these plans, from soap tree to soap berry, have been used simply by semi-civilized folk in place of commercial soap, but now it appears the Algerian soap tree is to be turned to commercial purposes. Consul Guenther says:
 German papers report that steps are being taken in Algeria to- manu- facture natural soap on large scale from tree known as Sapindus utilis. This tree, which has long been known in Japan, China and India bears a fruit of about the size of horsechest- nut, smooth and round. The color varies from yellowish green to brown. The inner part is of dark color and has an oily kernel.
 "The tree bears fruit in Its sixth year and yields from fifty-five to o20 pounds of fruit, which can be easily harvested in the fall. By using water or alcohol the saponaceous ingredient of the fruit is extracted. The cost of production is said to be small, and the soap, on account of possessing no al- kaline qualities, is superior to the or dinary soap of commerce."

ORIGIN OF AN ODD PHRASE.
Missouri Alcaldc Given Credit for .
 Popular ExDrcssion.

Missouri Alcaldc Given Credit for . Popular Expression.
 A Pike County Missourian is credit ed with having first used the expres- sion: "If this court knows herself, and she think she do."
 Long before the discovery of gold in California a Pike County boy named Blackburn, so it is said, ran away from home and went to the Rocky Noun tains, where he grew to manhood as Indian fighter, hunter, trapper and mountain guide He became feet inches tall, proportlonately thin and marvelously awkward He had many encounters with grizzlies and Indians. He was scared from head to foot, one eye had been partly gouged out, his hair was thin and coarse and stood straight up on top of his head and hung in every direction from the sides. Blackburn, as might be supposed, was not an educated man, but he was not lacking in keen wit and sound sense.
 When gold was discovered Black burn went to the mines, and the min CTS, as sort of a joke, elected him alcalde, an office similar to that of justice of the peace. The first case brought before the alcalde was that of gambler who, while drunk and on horseback, had run over young Mex ican woman, knocking her down and seriously injuring her. Thet trial took place in the largest cabin in the neigh borhood, which was packed with roughly dressed, much bewhiskered men. The gambler, who was rich, hired able counsel to defend him. Alcalde Blackburn called the young woman, who told her story in broken English, but frankly and honestly. When she finished the alcalde peremp- torily ended the trial. The attorney for the defendant protested vehemently, but the alcalde ran his hand through his hair until it stood up straighter on top than ever and remarked:
 ''If this court knows herself, and she think she do, fine you $500 dam- ages and assess upon you the costs of putin this yere gal in good condition"
 When asked what he meant by good condition," he replied that the | "gamblin' chap" must pay the doctors bill and all other costs of the woman's illness.-Kansas City Journal.

JUST WHAT ALLIED NERO.
Ills Master Thought It Was Rabies and
 DOsed Him Thoroughly.

A gentleman who resides in Ger mantown is the proud possessor of Q fine, white, thoroughbred bull terrier. He also has wife and child. This fact is mentioned last, not as deroga- tory to the family, but because this tale deals almost wholly with the dog.
 One evening the gentleman noticed that Nero was rather restless and frequently opened his paws to their widest extent and licked his chops in decidedly suggestive and sinister manner.
 "What in the world ails Nero?" ask ed the wife.
 "Some new habit he has acquired, I guess" hazarded Mr. Fancier. Good night, dear, 1 must hurry to the office to finish my monthly statement. Don't wait up for me. Good night" And he was gone.
 When he arrived at the office he saw the night watchman and knowing that he had a knowledge of dogs questioned him regarding Nero's peculiar actions.
 "opens his mouth wide and rolls his tongue aboutT repeated the watchman eXcitedly.
 "Yes."
 "Does he stretch his neck as he does this"
 "Yes. What does 1t mean?"
 "Well, 1t means that your dog is going mad and you'd better hurry home before he does any damage"
 It took Mir. Fancier about two sec. onds to reach the telephone.
 "Is that you, dear" he called. "Well. you take Nero down cellar and chaiI him up securely. Never mind. I'll explain when get home. I'm start ing at once."
 He then hastened to the nearest drug store and purchased buckthorne, castor oil, pomegranate bark and various other herds and syrups used for dog troubles. Rushing home, he bolted into the cellar, grabbed the poor dog by the throat and pressing him into corner lifted him to his hind legs and poured conglomeration of drugs down the long suffering canine that would positively kill or cure. His veterinary labors over, he repaired to the sitting-room and explained the situation to his terrified wife.
 Next morning the dog, marvellous to relate, was alive and happy. During the day the owner described the treat ment to a friend, also lover of dogs. The friend, at the end of the story burst into loud and jarring laughter.
 "What are you laughing at7 don't see anything funny about it."
 "Neither Md the poor dog. Do you know what really ailed him? I'll tell you: He had been cleaning his coat with his tongue and several hairs had stuck to that useful member. His terrible symptoms were caused by his innocently trying to remove them"
 And the owner of Nero left hurriedly to speak to the night watchman.- philadeDhia Press
