Advice leads us up to
a stone wall thro u8 h
which few of US are ABLE
to pound a passage.

Many times | have wished that I
could write you more closely on the
scenes where some OF my lunch hour
talks are given.
This month | spent a half hour at
noon with some thirty mill men and
while interested them some they in.
terested me much.
II would be great recreation for me
to have a bench in that mill and spend
half day a week at II making con.
venient things for the house or play
things for the children.
It does me good to work with work.
ers and think with thinkers Once |
sat on the bench with a judge. An
other time | sat In a pulpit with a
minister. Again | helped a farmer
burn the brush in his apple orchard.
For few weeks | took charge of a
college friends medical practice in a
village while he went to Calforr la for
vacation. | wish | could do your
work for a week and let you do the
things you wish to-
What would you do If you had plenty
of time and money? What do you
want to know more about? This Is
what | want to know more about
how to help people get beyond that
stone wall up to which good advice
leads them and there leaves them.
1t seems TO me | am too slow in in
teresting them in self-effort and
know too little about the tools and how
TO use them. Just when am ready to
give up some one tells me that | have
helped him or her get through and
then | begin with new breath to en-.
courage others and explain the plan
of action.
For a long time have thought that
Providence pushed me into this and
that trouble to have me learn how to
get out In order to tell others how to
get out, but now | am beginning to see
that He jerks me out when am ready
to give up and sink.
II He is willing to jerk me out he
certainly must be willing to do the
same by you or any one else provided
there is a desire to live to do some
thing worth doing.

How We Influence Others.

A man with some heavy bundles
left his home to take the nearest
street car line.
Dor the latter came out to join him
and offered to carry one of the bundles
II he would walk down to the second
car line and catch an express train.
The first man decided to do so and
then a third man came out OF his
house as the two men passed
The third man intended to take the
first car line but decided to walk down
to the fast train service after the first
man had reported his convention to
taking a walk.
Then one man said that he supposed
II was all right to cheat the street
cars that way. The first car line only
took them to junction where they
would have taken the fast train which
they walked to,
Another of the men said that II
was all right to cheat the kind of car
service the first line was giving. Now
that Is very common remark and
probably all Of us have made such
speeches.
But that first car line Is not max.
ing any money and II Is a fine friend
when there Is a storm or you have a
bundle that's heavy and no one 10
help you carry 1t. We should give
even corporations justice or we will
inIure our own judgment.

AN ORGAN WITHOUT STOPS.

There is a man living in an Elev-

WESTERN CANADA HAS
AN EXCELLENT CLIMATE.
The Saskatchewan Valley Very Highly
Favored.

An interesting feature OF Western
Canada is its climate. Those who
have made a study OF 1t speak highly
of 1t. The Canadian Government
Agents are sending out an Atlas, and
at the same time giving valuable In
formation concerning railway rates.
etc, to those interested in the country.
As has been said the climate is ex-
cellent. The elevation of this part OF
Canada is about $500 feet above the
sea, about twice that OF the average
for Minnesota. II is very desirable
altitude. The country has very
equable climate taking the seasons
through. The winters are bright and
the summers are pleasantly warm. X
F. Stupart, director OF the meteorologi.
cal service for Canada, says:
THE salient features OF the climate
Of the Canadian northwest territories
are clear. brlcing atmosphere dur
ing the greater part Of the year. and a
medium rainfall and snowfall The
mean temperature for July at Winni-
peg is sc, and Prince Albert 62. The

very similar to that found in many
parts OF the southern countries"
At Prince Albert the average daily
maximum in July is 76 and the mini
mum As. Owing to this high day tenn
perature with much sunshine, the
crops come to maturity quickly.
Moisture is ample in the Saskatche-
wan valley, being about Is inches an
nually. 1t is notable that about rs
per cent of the moisture falls during
the crop months. Thus, Western Can.
ada gets as much moisture when it Is
needed and with several hours more
sunshine daily than land further south
gets during the growing season, it is
not difficult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield bountifully.
Winter ends quickly, sowing is done
during April and sometimes in March.
Harvest comes in August, about tn q
middle, Cyclones, billiards., dust and
sand storms are unknown.

MADE A PROFITABLE TRADE.
Land Worth Millions Exchanged for
Secondhand Articles.

Frank A. Mings, principal Of gram.
mar school No. q, has suddenly found
himself a prospective millionaire.
while a six.fgure fortune is plainly
within grasp.
NJ. Mings Is the owner of an eighty.
acre tract of iron land about 100
miles north of Duluth, in st. Louis
county, Mimi. He got the land on a
trade in 1887 for a secondhand buggy
and a furnace more or less the worse
for wear. He didn't think much of his
land, though it was located on the
Mesaba iron range. from which mil.
lions of tons of ore have been taken,
but one day mining expert wrote
from Ely, Mimi. offering 5000 for
his waste land.
One company looked over Mr..
Wings holdings short time ago and
offered him $4,000 per month for the
privilege of working a mine on It.
Another company wished to buy a
part interest for 100000, and begin
work Immediately.
AS an absolutely clear title to the
property Is vested in Mr.. Mings, and
its reputed value as an outright pur-
chase climbs up to $1,000, 900, 1t looks
as II the principal of school No. 81
made a record'breaking bargain when
he exchanged an Anticipated buggy
and a secondhand furnace for eighty
acres of the Mesaba range.
Mr. Mings says he will continue to
teach.-Buffalo Enquirer.

eeRFumeo LAMPS AUD RINGS
They May Be Used as Means Of Dis.
Injecting Rooms or Cars.


The use OF / rfume as a disinfectant
Is well known. and the scented
dandy" has perhaps more hygienic
wisdom than his detractors give him
credit for. IL is he who is trying to
revive the use OF the perfumed foun.
tain ring. an article de luxe which
msy either be used as an ornament
or as means of pleasant disinfect
ant in stuffy underground trains or in
lnsalubrious districts.
The ring is an ordinary gold one
lifted with a ball at the back. It is
filed by pressing the ball nearly fiat
and dipping the ring into a cup OF
scent. when the elasticity of the ball
draws the perfume into the interior
till quite full. BY the least pressure
the wcarer of the ring can cause a
jot of scent TO shed its refreshing
aroma any moment he pleases. and he
may thus act as a benefactor or a
nuisance to those in his vicinity.
The perfume lamp may also be
used as another pleasant method OF
disinfeCting room. A ball of spongy
platinum is placed over the center OF
by a thin glass rod. which is inserted
into tho wick. The lamp is then filled
with any scented spirit. AID when
lighted is allowed to burn until the
platinum gets red hot. The flame is
then blown out, and pleasant odor
