The Advantage of Being I'LL.

One of the greatest difficulties in life
Is illness when the hands are full of
work, and of business requiring atten-
ton. In many cases the strain and
anxiety, which causes resistance to the
illness, is even more severe, and makes
more trouble than the illness itself.
Suppose, for instance, that man Is
taken down with the measles, when he
feels that he ought to be at his office,
and that his absence may result in Sc
rious loss to himself and oLners. If he
begins by letting go, in his body and
in his mind, and realizing that the ILL
ness is beyond his own power, it will
soon occur to him that he might as
well turn his illness to account by get
ting good rest out of it. In this
frame Of mind his chances of early re-
covery will be increased, and he may
even get up from his illness with so
much new life and with his mind so
much refreshed as to make up, in part,
for his temporary absence from bust
ness. But, on the other hand, If he
resists, worries, complains and gets ir-
ritable, he irritates his nervous system
and, by so doing, is likely to bring on
any one of the disagreeable troubles
known to follow measles; and thus he
may keep himself housed for weeks,
perhaps months, instead Of days.-Les-
lies Monthly.

The origin of all crime lies back of
the quick temper which raises the hand
which held the knife. The origin of
crime lies in thought. A crime is the
result of a series of thoughts, the first
of which may have lodged in the brain
Of an innocent child. Men who have
studied the workings of the human
mind tell us that each thought makes
a track upon the brain. That the same
thought always travels over the same
path. They tell us that the track
deepens as the thought passes more
and more frequently over the path un-
til the thread-like track becomes a deep
rut. a wagon track, light at first, IL
constantly driven over becomes a rut
If the wheels continue to plow into the
earth the track is cut deeper and deep
er until 1t Is impossible for the wheel
to roll out of the rut until it reaches
the end of the road. 1t is thus with
the ruts in the brain. When the path
Is cut too deep the thought must fol-
low the old course, wherever it leads
The rut may lead to theft. The rut
may lead to lying. The rut may lead
to murder. Every thought, good or
bad, If permitted to travel again and
again through the mind, leads to some
act, good or bad. Crime has its origin
In thought. Great prisons have been
built, but crime still walks among u.s.
The habitual wishing to possess what
belongs to another too often leads to
theft The ever-present wish to be rid
of one who is hateful too often leads to
murder. Strong walls cannot control
crime until brick and mortar can con-
troll thought And thought is free as
the air. 1t slips past the guard, it
passes through the keyhole, it scorns
the grating, it laughs at walls of stone,
1t knows not the terror of the gallows.
Prisons cannot save US, the scaffold
cannot free u.s. the laws cannot protect
us from crime. All, but where the
laws are weak, you are strong When
the walls of the prison are fragile you
| are powerful. While the hangman's
| rope cannot choke the life from crime,
you can. When the desire for the DOS
session Of what belongs to another
comes to you, turn it out. Don't wish
for what is not your own. Resolve to
earn what you would have. Thus q
different brain track is made and this
track deepened will lead to prosperity
never to theft. Instead of wishing to
rid yourself Of one who is hateful
wish yourself higher and better than
he. This thought-path will lead to a
higher plane, where the air is rarer and
the sight is clearer, and the hateful
one, way down at the foot of the noun.
tain which you have climbed, dare not
even lift his eyes to the heights upon
which you stand. Is that not better
than a life behind prison walls? Man
Is more powerful than the law. We
are moro powerful than are the instru
ments Of the law. We can control
thought, and crime begins in thought

FOR RATTLESNAKE BITES.
A Simple Cure Which Is Said to Be
Effective If Not Delayed
Too Long.

Santiago f. Taylor writes from,
La Brecha. SinalOa, Mexico. in re
gard to the Mexican cure for the
bite Of rattlesnake. He saws,
according TO the Los Angeles
Times, it is effective if not DELAYED
too late:
THE remedy is simply sulphur
and beef suet, mixed in equal
parts into an ointment. Take one
ounce of flour Of sulphur and one
ounce of beef suct fried out the
same as hog lard lin fact they call
it beef lard and cover the bite or.
wound with this mixture, enough
to be One-eighth or One-fourth of
an inch deep all over the spot bit
ten. Then apply heat until the
ointment runs well. It is not nee.
essary to apply heat enough to
burn the person. only to melt the
and sulphur. The natives
here use a hot stone or piece of
broken crOckery, or a macheta or
a sheath knife heated hot in a
hastily built fire. The Mayo Indi-
ands and Mexicans here assure
me it is a sure cure"

Sentinel reporter. "You might
not believe it," he continued, "but
the thicker the sOles of his shoes
the larger the city from which he
comes. In New York it is almost
fad, and the sOles of the shoes
there are exceedingly heavy.
They are almost as heavy in Chica-

tect their feet. They have not
time enough, it seems, to bother
with rubbers. SO they make one
pair of shoes do the work for all
kinds of weather. Here in Mil.

size. ! notice, the men wear light
shoes and rubbers. | suppose
they have time enough to wear the
overshoes. Up in the country I
