Quality that We Americans Need to
Rid Ourselves OF.
Thoreau Enthusiastically says. IF
You want to know a mans faults, ask
his friends. They will not tell you, but
they know" It is because we believe
SO thoroughly In America and Ameri-
cans that we interest ourselves in try
ing to find out our faults One such &C.
ours to us to which 1t seems worth
while to call attention. This is our
self-consciousness-a thing which does
a vast deal toward hindering the free
dom of the individual 1t is this con
tinual consciousness of self that makes
us Americans so fearful of what our
neighbors think of us; that hampers
us in our thought, and that makes us
less able to act as our right reasoning
would dictate. The Englishman, for
instance, sails along. calmly ignoring
the whole world. This attitude Is pro
~vocative Of much humor at his ex-
pense, but does he not do better by
himself than the man who is continu-

latter is so busy that he has no time
to realize himself. mind your own
business and endeavor to be what you
were made" says the quotable Tho
reau. That Is what we need to have
drummed into us from day to day.
How people take our jokes, how they
Ike the cut Of our frocks or our coats,
what they think Of our sitting In the
second balcony instead Of the orches-
ira Of a theater, whether they think
we are affected because we acknowl-
edge a liking for Browning-these are
minor matters indeed; but II is over
Just such trifes that many Of US waste
precious moments and more precious
| brain matter. Let the man and the
woman shake himself or herself free
from the coils of what they say or
"how it looks Let them be big
enough not to bother about such little
things. Let them think less about
their own persons, and more how to
enjoy, and profit by, and be good in

him for a singer. He has a tenor
voice of high register and has mas

of congress he gives expensive din

residence, and while his guests are
enjoying his cigars at the end Of

To Boom Cigarette Sales.

Manufacturers of cigarettes have
found a new way to increase their
sales. Any hotel, restaurant. bar
room or tobacco shop which agrees
to take a certain quantity of the pa
per pipes may have brands of their
own put in fancy packages bearing
the name of the place where the
article is sold. By giving special
and exclusive character to re weed
it has been found that the sa'es are
greatly Increased. 1t takes about
100000 cigarettes week all the
year round to supply the New York
market alone. Practically all the
work is now done by machinery
but the few handmade Turkish Gig
arettes find a ready market at prices
ranging from IS to Is cents q

Sowsd Mothers Liver Pills.

There is a woman in Phoenix,
A. T., who has the correct idea,
all right, but whether it will work
out remains for the future to dis
close. Recently her husband
bought a small ranch, and with
him she has been much interest
ed in planning Improvements, es-
pe,,ially in the growing line, with
which to adorn the place. The
other day beds were prepared for
sweet peas, and the lady of the
house was busily engaged in as
sorting her seeds and carrying the
little packets out of doors, where
their contents were transferred to
the beds in regular order. AS
each variety was planted the name
was placed on a small marker, as
IS the custom with gardeners. In
a particularly choice location the
contents Of a packet were labori-
ously dropped, one by one, until
the row was filled and the earth
nicely smoothed over it. When
the woman picked up the packet

muskrat traps he discovered
thousands OF the squirmers inn
