Luck in the Letter ga.

A writer has discovered that many
of the worst foes of the horticulturist
begin with "w," and he instances
worms, weevils, wind and other work
ers Of wickedness. This suggests a
question as to whether there is any
natural grouping of good or evil things
under particular letters. Take 3D." for
example, and consider how many
boons and blessings to man begin with
it. The baker, butcher and brewer
bring him bread, beef and beel.
For additional foods he has bacon,
black bass, beans. bloaters, broccoli,
broth, bivalves, bananas, berries, bis
cults, buns and butter. After a ban
quet of bonnes-bouches he may bring
out his 'baccy while he bestrides his
bicycle. These are but few Of the
beneficent things included under. that
blessed letter "b." Now, as a contrast,
take 3D." and among the first words
we think of are damp, dark, dreary,
dank, dull, drowned, dismal, dirty,
damned, dusty, bastard, draft, ducked,
dosed, dragged, doubtful, disgusted,
doctor, diseased, uead, drunk, and SO
on, the very sound of which is enough
to drive one into doleful dumps 49,

Mr.. Garfield. of the civil service

ago there walked into the office of the
governor of Western State a citi-

said:
"Mr. Governor, / understand that
Col. Blank. the president of the Irri-
cation Board, is dead"
"He is" was the reply. Col. Blank
died an hour ago"

citizen, Il dislike to exhibit any un-
seemly haste in the matter, but very
much desire to make application for

Secret of lona Youth.

Simple diet, plain living, active out
door work or walking, and absence of
worry, give conditions that will de-
velop the best physical and moral
possibilities within one. We are all
prone to exhaust nerve force over
petty cares. We get excited If the
rooms are not properly busted; we
put too much of ourselves into our
household work; we do not want to
learn to simplify; we do not always
take the forty winks" early in the
afternoon. These are some Of the
causes Of age, and we can avoid them
just as we can learn to sometimes be
idle and at all times be reposeful.-

AMERICAN SODA FoUNT.

Wherever American civilization goes.
there goes the soda fountain.
Fpom the very moment the Spanish
flag was hauled down in the Philip
pines the demand for soda fountain
existed.
The man of the hour appeared, hail

MIA the very day the stars and stripes
first waved victoriously over the is
lands, and SO we'll did he improve his
opportunity that he to-day is spoken
of as the most successful business man
An the archipelago
He was a confectioner. and as such
began business. He discovered the
.presence of the first American soda
.Eountsin in this section of the far East.
"a local drug store had bought it. but
the war had interfered with it's intend
ed use. and it had been relegated to a
cellar The confectioner rescued it by
paying the price the shrewd owner
asked when he. realized how much it
wan wanted. and in so doing became
the first dispenser of soft drinks in the
Philippines.
That soda fountain became a thing
OF JOY for expatriated Americans. The
original one has been twice replaced.
Once in 1899. when a new one was
bought in China, and again in 1902. The
present fountain was bought in New
York at an expense of $4,000. 1t was

For Troublesome Feet.

A decoction Of white oak bark is In
valuable for perspiring feet. To make
the decoction place one ounce of white
oak bark to one and one-half pints Of
boiling water and simmer very slowly
for two or three hours; cool, strain
and add four ounces Of alcohol; then
bottle for use. The most convenient
mode of application is to pour out n
small quantity in a saucer and apply
to the feet with a velvet sponge, after

..As ENEMY or KNOCKERS"
Printer Tried Earnestly for the Ref.
ormation Of Mankind.

ormation Of Mankind.
Several years ago a printer of the
Gilbert Hubbard school started a
print shop in one of the smaller cities
OF New England. The place was fitted
up "Roycroftie," and above the old
fashioned brass knocker at the side Of
the entry he hung sign which read.
Enter without knocking"
To many this would merely presage
a welcome to the shop within; but to
the more subtle, suggestion that the
shortcomings of other men, among
them printers, were of no interest to
him.
The new print shop attracted many
patrons, among whom were, unfor-
tunately, some that could not appre-
ciate the style" peculiar to this schol-
ar-printer. Some of these were quite
caustic in their arraignmeut of his
manner of handling their ideas, and
he felt that in some way he must ad-
monish them, lest their opinions if
expressed, should add to the ranks of
the unappreciative.
So he had prepared another sign,
Depart without knocking" and hung
it within his sanctum. This to i'm
press upon his callers the futiility of
bruiting abroad their differences Of
opinion.
Some, however, continued to offend.
and to help them lay aside their per
nicious habits he had driven into the
wall within the entry, large nail,
under which he placed a sign, Hang
your hammer here"
He felt that some would enter, leav-
ing their hammer" upon the nail and
perhaps, to his lasting benefit, leave it
behind and depart without knocking"

Kauai, restoring him to his civil
rights. Over thirty years ago, he
was convicted of larceny and sem
fenced to Is laehes. Since that time
he has been an exemplary citizen.
Not having exercised the right to
vote, he petitioned the Governor for
pardon, aud on ascertsining the
facts, he has granted the petition.
A petition for pardon has also
been made in favor of B 81 Brown,
former captain of police of Hilo, but
he is OF the opinion that the offeace
upon which. he was convicted was
only OF recent occurrence and would
not care to now grant it.
