A TENDER THREAD.

Alas!-how light cause may move
Dissension between hearts that love!
Hearts that the world I'm vain has tried,
And sorrow but more closely tied;
That stood the storm, when waves were
rough,
Yet in sunny hour fall on,
Like ohips that have gone down at sea,
When heaven was all tranquility
A something light as ARA look,
A word unkind, or wrongly taken
Ont love that tempests never shook,
a breath, touch like this has shak-
en-.
And hearts so lately mingled, seem
Like broken clouds-or like the stream,
That smiling left the mountains brow,
As though It's waters neer could
sever,
Yet, ere II reach the plain below,
Breaks into floods that part forever.

exposing the humbug OF fractional

"The Mormon people In the state Of

should be regarded more with pity than
with censure. In some folks 1t IS irre-

ton with others, In society and in con-
tact with the busy world, to overcome
It, Usually It is sign OF innocence
more than anything else, but II takes a

HIS SHOW WAS OVER.
The Way an Entertainer snubbed a
SnObbish Patron.

An Englishwoman of decidedly snob-
bish instincts, but socially intrenched
behind great and new riches, once en-
gagged the late Corney Grain to give
an entertainment at her country house.
She left instructions that the enter
tainer when he arrived was to dine
with the servants. The butler, who
knew better, apologized, but Corney
was a man not easily disconnected,
wrote Jerome K. Jerome. He dined
well and after dinner rose and ad-
dressed the assembled company.
"Well, now, my good friends" said
he, 'ff we have all finished and If you
are all agreeable 1 shall be pleased to
present to you my little show"
The servants cheered. The piano
was dispensed with, and Corney con-
trived to amuse his audience very well
for half an hour without it.
At 10 o'clock came down message.
Would Mr. Corney Grain kindly come
up into the drawing room2 Corney
went. The company in the drawing
room were waiting, seated.

The American Farmer the Best in the World.

The American farmer is the greatest man
IN the world to-day because he is master OF
the soil-he is gaining in intelligence quite
as rapidly as his products are increasing in
magnitude. Our recent combines of capital
in United States measured in money are
enormous yet such figures sink into insig-
nihcance when compared to the money,
brain and Drawn invested in agricultural
industries. For instance, the farmers of
Minnesota and Dakota have received $780,
ooo,o for their products in a single year,
The farmer knows what Nature will bring
forth for him from his experience in the
past. He knows if certain seeds are
planted and properly cared for that Nature
will take care of the rest In the same
way you are master Of your ozCnr destiny.
Providing your blood is in good order, it
only needs little effort on your own part
to keep healthy and strong-rid your body
of the poisons that are apt to accumulate
and your system is ready to ward off the
attack of the germs of disease. DR.. Pierce's

Right and LED Handea.

1t is curious to notice the vagarfes of
humanity In cases where no hard and
fast line has been already drawn. Al
though most right handed persons put
on their coats left arm first, consid-
cradle percentage thrust in the right
first. Soldiers fire from the right
shoulder, but sportsmen are found who
prefer the left. In working with a

men grasp the spade with the left

the same individuals would grasp

English Axes a4 Hastings.

At the battle of Hastings the corps
d'elite of the English army were ac-
coutered with sword and shield, and
in addition to this they had hung
great hatchets on their necks, with
which they could strike doughty
blows" Whenever a special deed of
valor is credited to an Englishman in
that battle, with one exception, 1t is
due to the ak he bears. And now
what were these axes that dealt such
deadly destruction on the Norman
knight? AS to this we are left in no
doubt. Time after time does WAGE
call them great axes" The head
alone in one instance was a foot in
length. And the Bayeux tapestry out
of about twenty axes represents all
except some three as having long ham
dies. Hardly ever do we find in the
tapestry the short ak for one hand

"Roses have thorns" and "Walls have

sayings is "Those who play with edged
tools must expect to cut their fingers" 4"
In expressing a similar thought the
Jap goes us one better so far as pic
turesqueness is concerned. He says,
III you keep tigers you are likely to
have trouble" One of our standard
maxims is 10 the effect that "oil and
water won't mix" The Japs have not
improved on this. "You can't rivet a
nail in a custard'' is their way of put
ting it. "The lotus springs from the
mud is their poetical expression of
the common thought that "out of evil
good may come
What could be more suggestive and
at the same time so poetic as their
Scattering fog with FAM" When
a Jap undertakes the impossible his
neighhors do not scoff at him or mock
him, They simply say that he is
building bridges to the clouds" or
that he is dipping up the ocean with
a she'll" Failure in such a country
must be as delightful as success IN our
more material land. 'Thfne own heart

BUYING RUBlEs IN BURMA.
A Peculiar Method of Bargaining For
the Precious Stones.


The peculiar business methods OF orr
entail merchants are illustrated by the
manner of buying rubies in Burma. In
the examination of rubies artificial
light is not used, the merchants hold
ing that full sunlight alone can bring
out the color and brilliancy Of the
gems. Sales must therefore take place
between 8 a. m. and p. m, and the
sky must be clear.
The purchaser, placed near a win
dow, has before him a large copper
plate. The sellers come to him one by
one, and each empt1es upon this plate
his little bag of rubfes. The purchaser
proceeds to arrange them for valuation
in number of small heaps The first
division is into three grades, accord
ing to size. Each of these groups is
again divided into three piles, accord
ing to color, and each of these piles in
turn is again divided into three groups,
according to shape. The bright copper
plate has a curious use. The sunlight
reflected from 1t through the stones
brings out with true rubies color eff
feet different from that with red spi-
nels and tourmalines, which are thus
easily separated.
The buyer and seller then go through
very peculiar method of bargaining
by signs, or, rather, grips, in perfect ST.
lence. After agreeing upon the fair
ness of the classification they join their
right hands, covered with a handker-
chief or the flap of garment, and by
grips and pressures mutually under
stood among all these dealers they
make, modify and accept proposals of
purchase and sale. The hands are then
uncovered and the prices are recorded.

He Is Virtually a Pony, but q Re-

The Arab is virtually pony, stand
ing 14.2 hands, oftener under than
over He is not fast, even at the gal
lop; indeed. he is slow He Is a very
poor trotter both as regards speed and
action. a bad hack, and cannot walk
without continually sticking his toe
in the ground. He is totally untitled
for harness and Is uncomfortable to
ride, except at the gallop; this is his
natural gait, and in 1t his movement is
free, smooth, delightful and easy. AS
regards his general makeup and an
atomical formation, he is perfect, and
his constitutional and physical sound
ness is wonderful. He has great bone
substance, vigor, resolution, strength,
staying powers, courage, boldness, So
briefly, the soundest legs and feet and
extraordinary lung power, which is
duetS the atmospheric conditions and
free life to which he has been used
from time immemorial; extraordinary
eyesight, good temper, mild manners,
tractability, instinct and sagacity, and
for his size is wonderful weight car
rier. III
1t is this extraordinary constitution
and anatomical perfection, and this
magnificent courage, nerve and mettle
of the Arab which have made the thor
oughbred of today what he is, and not
his speed, which has only existed in
songs.
The Arab attaches far greater i'm
portance to bottom, speed and sobriety
than he does to what might be called
"artistic beauty" OF such a horse he
will say: Let us not be in hurry.
Let US see him work. He might be
only a COW, with lions hide on his
back" When you consider what their
idea of bottom is, 1t may be sufficient
to know that 1t means a horse should
be able to travel with a man on his
back, change of clothing, food for
rider and horse, his gun, flag, ETC.,

five or six days in succession, and aft
er a couple of days rest be able to

mon for pure Arab horses to cover
from 125 to 100 miles in the twenty
four hours, and this without food or
water until his journey is finished, and
then the Arab, when he dismounts,
wants to see his horse shake himself
and neigh loud and shrill and paw the

IL Is One of the Things That Make

DR.. Madison ]. Taylor, giving gener-
al advice to the aged in the Popular
Science Monthly, says in effect that old
people do not stoop because they are
old, but they get old because they
stoop.
The stiffening of the tissues, which Is
the sign and accompaniment of age, is
warded off by exercise. Self indulgence
in eating and drinking and in lazy
ways is the sure road to senility. II

regulated movements Of the neck and
upper truncal muscles, employed for
the purpose of accomplishing some
thing else. resulted in a conspicuous
improvement in hearing, in vision, in
cerebration and, as a consequence, in
a betterment in cerebral circulation,
also in sleep.
Persons who habitually maintain an
erect position in standing or sitting are
stronger than those who SLOUGH. A
person who stoops and allows the
shoulders to sag down and forward
and the ribs to fall back toward the
spine shortens the anteposterior diam
eter of the thorax anywhere from two

In the thorax cannot live, move and

Administering Ether.

The most common mistake made by
beginners in the administration of
ether is that of forgetting to lessen the
proportion of the substance when full
an9tbesia is established-that is, con-
tinuing to make their patients respire
an atmosphere as highly charged with
its vapors as when getting them under
its influence. 1t is matter of sur
prise to physicians how very little
ether will often suffice to keep a pa
ticnt well under It's influence toward
the close of an operation, and this
small quantity will always postpone
vomiting until the operation is COM
pleted.-Medical Review
