Gas


How many people, when buy
ing gas engines stop to consider
complications There are few.
II they would only investigate
the different makes before decid-
ing on the purchase there would
be fewer repair shops over the
land. A spring here and a gear
there, and loaded down with a lot
of inventions, most people say,
"That must be a good engine. "
Well, they buy it. In a little
while, to keep it going, they COM
mence to tinker, and the more
time and money spent the more
she gets out of whack. Then
they realize that it takes an ex-
pert to do anything with it. Now
if they had only bought a simple
engine-one that would not run
because it did not have a lot OF
fixtures-they could have avoided
the expense and delay.
Our advice to you is not to
overlook the "Stoner" when you
are thinking of buying an engine,
as we can prove to you that it is
the simplest engine built, and we
feel satisfied that it will give you
but very little trouble. Repair
shops all hate the "Stoner,' as 1t
gives them but little work.

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
The Men and Women Who Carry
Chips ON Their Shoulders.

The really unhappy man whose IN
happiness is his own fault is the one
who is forever carrying "a chip upon
his shoulder" Perhaps his happiness
Is his unhappiness, for when he is not
engaged in personal alteration he Is
brooding over some fancied slight and
awaiting favorable opportunity to
give vent to his WRATH.
The man with the chip on his shout
der Is easily recognized, and his society
by wise people is carefully avoided. He
can go nowhere without trouble follow
ing in his wake Ii he attends the
alter he is either annoyed by the usher
or some one in the audience or at the

the spirit Of mutiny In the hearts o!

There are some women similarly con.
stituted, who manage to be in trouble
from the moment their eyes open in
the morning till they close them in
sleep. These people are indeed to be
pitied, If indeed they are not cordially
hated. This quarrelsome habit Of mind
can be so fostered that the petulancy
grows to be a malignant disease and
leads sometimes to the Insane asylum.

THE WET TABLECLOTH.
1t Puzzled the Ships Passenger Until
1t Was Explained.

The understeward in setting the ia
bic poured half glass of water on the
clean white cloth and placed a dish of
fruit on the puddle he had made. He
made another puddle and placed ON it
the carafe. On third puddle he placed
the butter dish, and so on.
"Why do you spoil the cloth with all
that water?" asked passenger
Because the weather's rough, sir"
said the steward, and then, making an
other puddle lie went on;
I'VE stewards on ocean liners must
not be merely good waiters-we must
be good wet weather walters. And we
have a number of tricks.
zone of our tricks is to set the heavy
dishes upon wet spots. If we were to
set them on dry spots in the ordinary
way they would slide to and fro with
every lurch of the ship. But if the
cloth is wetted they don't slide. They
adhere to the wet place as though
glued to it.
"One of the first things a steward
learns is to set stormy weather table
to spill water on the cloth at each
place where Il heavy dish is to stand.
This water serves its purpose thor
oughly, and it doesn't look bad, either,
for the dish covers it. No one knows
of the wet spot underneath. New

of different ways the word Chicago is

1877 different ways. Some ripe scholar

One View of the Lessons This Glass
of Stories Teaches.
The fairy tales are the only true ac-
counts that man has ever given of his
destiny. Jack the Giant Killer is the
embodiment of the first of the three
great paradoxes by which men live. 1t
is the paradox of courage, the paradox
which says, "You must defy the thing
that is terrifying you; unless you are
frightened you are not brave" Gin
derela" is the embodiment of the sec
ond of the paradoXes by which men
live, the paradox of humility, which
says, Look for the best in the thing
ignorant of its merit; he that aliases
himself shall be exalted" And Beau
ty and the Beast is the embodiment
of the third of the paradoXes by which
men live, the paradox of faith, the alb
solutely necessary and wildly unrea-
sonable maxim which says to every
mother with child or to every patriot
with a country, you must love the
thing first and make it lovable after
ward" These tales are far truer than
the rhinoceros at the ZOO, for you know
what these mean. And you can guess
what the rhinoceros meansl-G. X

THE HEART MUSCLES.
How They DO Their Work and Why
They Never Tire.

How They DO Their Work and why
They Never Tire.
1t is generally supposed that the
heart is an organ which never takes Il
rest. But this is not so. The muscles
of the heart are not necessarily work
ing. The heart contains four cham
bers two upper, called the aurices, and
two lower, the ventricles. In the beat
ing of the heart the auricles first con
tract and force the blood into the ven
tricles they then relax while the ven
tricles repeat the process. Then fol
lows Il pause, during which the heart
is perfectly ut rest.
The contraction of the aurlcles takes
one-lifth of the time between one beat
and the next, the contraction of the
ventricles two-fifths and the pause two
fifths, so that the heart is really rest
ing two-fifths of its time. Sleep also
aids in relieving the muscles of the
heart, as it considerably diminishes
the rapidly of its action,
This alienation of rest and activity
endows The heart muscles with their
capacity for untring work.

AS A WOMAN LUNCHES.
Meals That Are Ordered Merely by
Force of Suggestion.


Lots of women order their luncheons
merely by force of suggestion. If you
don't think so, watch the wavering
ones sit down, look on the card, glance
at their nearest neighbours plate and
then order whatever the latter happens
to be eating. In crowded luncheon
room on matinee day one little round
table seating four women bore out this
statement. Two of the women refresh
ed themselves on cake and coffee. The
third was putting away a savory clam
chowder. A fourth came in, observed
the cakes, gazed approximately on the
chowder and requested the latter. The
first chowderer finished and departed
and the woman who Immediately took
her place looked around the table and
ordered cakes and coffee.
By this time the first two cake and
coffeeites had finished, and an uncer-
tain looking woman sat down on that
side of the table. She looked at the
two opposite, glanced at the card and
said, Bring me a clam chowder"
This is fact, and there is every rea-
son to suppose that nothing but coffee
and cakes and chowder was served at
that table all the afternoon or at least
as long as wavering ladies sat down
at it.-Philadelphia Bulletin.
