WISE WORDS.

When life's all love It's life; aught
else It's naught.-Lanier.
Faith is the hand wherewith we take
everlasting ife-Latimer.
Heroism Is simple and yet II is rare.
Every one who does the best he can
do is a hero Josh Billings
And the servant of the Lord must
not strive; but be gentle unto all men

low you to feel at night that you have
given some Of your time aud strength
TO the definite service OF the Lord.
Because charity begins at home is
no reason that il should be restricted
to that limited sphere; Of all the vir-

the most constant exercise.
It Is worth realizing that there is no
such thing as commonplace life or un-
interesting circumstances. They are

IRRITATING TRIFLEs.

behOOyes one 20 look out for tribes

man who was greatly attracted 10 a
girl and would probably have fallen in
love with her If some little thing had
not interviewed, told one OF his intimate
friends. who noticed that his atten-
tions were discontinued. that the lit
tie habit OF laughing at the end OF each
remark was the wedge that first start

which, widening slowly" made the
music mute" so far as he was con-
Cerned. Almost every one has one or
more little personal habits more or
which he himself is quite unconscious.
Il do wish Salina Y. would not be-
gin to hum a tune in the middle Of a
conversation" said one OF her friends.
'It is very annoying and shows that
she is not paying the least attention
10 anything that | am saying. 1t is
certainly not complimentary. and
have heard a number of people speak
about il. Some one really ought to
tell her.
Unfortunately. however. that some
one never will. We all dislike to be
told of our faults. and the task of cor
rcction is an uugrateful one There
are other little habits that are even
worse than faults Of manner-unpleas-
ant little traits, which develop all un-
consciously, but which are exceeding
ly detrimental. II is not necessary 10

such irritating triies in others. al

that he has no such idiosyncracies.

REDUCING YOUR WEIGHT.

From fashions standpoint there is
no more important question just now
before the feminine community than
how to get thin.
The elongated. almost attenuated.
type of wOmanhOOd is now in favor,
with the result that women who do
not match that type are worrying over
the problem of how TO reduce their
weight or at least how to keep from
adding to it,
3 Unfortunately, there seems to be no
Poyal road TO leanness.
Systematic, partial starvation is a
method that never fails 10 work. but
few women have the courage TO under
go this treatment year in and year out;
and the moment 1t il stopped two
ounces Of flesh, il seems, come hurry
ing back for every one that was lost
Strenuous physical culture exercises
will often do the business; but. then
as a woman said:
Life isn't worth living if one must
give up the greater part of every day
TO doing all sorts of hard and uninter-
estng stunts. When | tried it the only
happy time | had was when in bed

SCARCITY OF WHALssoNg.
tn. Dearth Ma, cause igher Prices rss
Sub.titutes.

A rather startling paragraph ap-
pelred IN London evening Journal
recently. which. after conveying the
information that small shipment ot
whalehoue had changed hands at a
fabulous figure, volunteered the state.
ment that there were only four tons OF
that precious commodity left on the
earth.
The solution is simple aud hy no
means 80 fearful as il sounds II j. Il
fact that tse availabls supply is in.
fniteSimal. chiefly by reason of the
fact that the Davis Straits where the
whales congregate. have been ice
packed. and catches have. therefore.
been few and far between. Dundee.
NJ which town the raw bone is mar
keted. has been unable. on that ac.
count 10 procure its supplies. and the
two and one-half tons which recently
changed hands at $4,000 per ton may
be taken to indicate the market price
will 20 still higher.
There Is, probably. a good deal more
than four tons in America. the greater
portion of which, however, is consumed
at home. There still remains a small
quantity in Dundee. The trade. II
should be said. is in Europe exclusively
in the hands Of two or three houses,
one or the other Of which will purchase
the supplies.
No further whalebonc can he cy.
peCted for many months ana il will be
November before the raw material can
be worked up There are. howey or,
still plenty of whales in the sea. which
may he relied upon To rise TO the har-
poonS with their accustomed alacrity.
The dearth OF the real article will un.
doubtedly encourage the use OF sub.
sututeS, on account of the high price
which blcachers have 20 pay. and the
consequent increase in retail values.
The trade accepts the situation philo-
sophically Substitutes are used freely
in some directions For some articles.
however the real thing is always EN-.

BELIEVE IN YOUR FRIENDS.

BELIEVE IN YOUR FRIENDS.
Human beings live up 20 our ideas
or them. If you require much of a
man. the chances are that he will try
to meet that requirement. You pay a
tribute to the manhood or womanhood
OF an individual every time you show
belief in him. and since even the low
est has a spark OF bigncss in his na.
turc. he cannot but be touched by that
belief. says the Woman's Home Com
panion. 1t is, if you will. a subtle sort
OF tattery to expect goodness and
truth and wisdom from poor human
beings. but it is hattery in the right
direction; il is not selfish; il tends TO
aid the tiattered, and not the hatterer.
Cynicism and disbelief are. on the
other hand. an invitation to the cow
ardly. They are nothing more than
COndonement of wrong To the man
who expects nothing, nothing will be
realized. DO you care TO prove 10 a
man that you are manly if he snccrs
at You for a fool and suspects a dark
or motive for your goodness? Not so.
and fresher when you have come in
contact with a soul who believes in
the inherent good OF the race and of
you as an individual?
The lesson is plain. Not only at
tempt to reach a higher mark in your
own living. but be one OF those cheer
ful souls who believe in the people
about them. Require OF your friends
that they act wisely Show some trust
in their motives. Believe in their vr-
tue and goodness until you have OBJ
solutc proof in the other direction. So
will you be giving them a push mp the
hill. instead OF. ike the cynic. cOntin-
ually dragging them down by the coat
tails. The cynic may tell you that
you are foolish. he may laugh at your
Innocence; never mind. his belief is
no mere philosophy. and IL has the

ful. Belief is positive. disbelief is
negative. and posit.veness is the most
bracing philosophy.
