replied, and will do great deal

"You have thirty years yet to live"

"Well, that is quite awhile" was the
reply. Probably 1 cannot do all had

you have twenty years to live" the
spirit said to the middle aged man.
"Only twenty! Well, l suppose
will have to do the best I can in that
length of time"
For the last time the guardian spirit
appeared. "You yet have ten years
left" he said to the rapidly aging man.
The man sighed "But ten years."
he whispered in reply. "And what can

LONG ENGAGEMENTS.
A Woman's Plan by Which to Bring
About Happy Marriages.

A Woman's Plan by Which to Bring
About Happy Marriages.
Marriage is an institution Of the
state; therefore she should put it out
Of the bonds of possibility that people
can marry each other in two days or
week. How many marriages would
be broken off If the state required a
three years engagement before people
are married? After all, If woman
wants to become a nun in two months,
no convent in the world will accept
her. She must be novice for two or
three years. During that time she has
to make an examination Of her con-
science every day and to find out If
she has q vocation for a nun. But
women and men marry without the
slightest preparation, without the
slightest thought Of the future, while
Dame Nature laughs at her most odd
palrings. She wants her world peopled.
That is her part. The men and women
who are i'll suited to each other are not
her affair.
Girls and boys at school should be
taught to look upon marriage as the
most beautiful, the happiest, the most
desirable and the most possible thing
in the world. Boys should be taught
to keep their minds and their bodies
pure for the state which they will
probably enter and to have a sense of
protection and loyalty to girls, and
girls should be taught industry, self
sacrifice and responsibility for the mar
ried state.-Mrs. T. P. O'Connor in
Black and White.

ARTISTIC TEMPERAMENT.
Defined as a Disease That Amfcti
Amateurs.

DenneU rs DlSeusc Ihdt AhAictS
Amateurs.
Gilbert X. Chesterton's "Heretics"
contains some of his keenest and most
amusing writing. OF great men he OBJ
serves: 1.-THE first rate great man is
equal with other men, like Shakespeare.
The second rate great man is on his
knees to other men, like Whitman.
The third rate great man is superior to
other men, like Whistler" In the fol-
lowing there may be discovered as
much truth as humOr:
"The artistic temperament is a dis
ease that affiicts amateurs. 1t is dis
ease which arises from men not having
sufficient power Of expression to utter
and get rid Of the element Of art in
their being. 1t is healthful to every sane
man to utter the art within him; 1t Is
essential to every sane man to get rid
Of the art within him at all costs.
Artists of large and wholesome vital
ity get rid Of their art easily, but in
artists of less force the thing becomes
a pressure and produces definite pain,
which is called the artistic tempera-
ment. Thus very great artists are able
to be ordinary men-men like Shake
speare or Browning. There are many
real tragedies of the artistic tempera-
ment, tragedies of vanity or violence or
fear, but the great tragedy Of the ar
tistic temperament is that 1t cannot
produce any art.

Onions Given To Kill Pneumonia

Several boards OF health in
Northen New Jersey are taking
measu res to protect citizens from
pneuul onla.
The Health Board of Washing
ton Warren county, has published
a rece ipt which it is said, it is IA
sure cure for pneumonia.
Other health boards are looking
into the prescription with view to
having the same thing published
for he good of the general pub
lie. H ere it is:
Take 6 orpl0 oni ons. according
to size. chop fine, put in large
spider over a hot fire then add the
same quantity of rye meal and vim
egar enought to form thick paste
Sti r thoroughly, letting it SIM
mrs or 10 minute. Then put III
cotton bag large en- ough to cover
the lungs and apply to the chest a
hot as the patient can bear. In
about 10 minutes apply another,
and thus continue by reheating
poaltices. In few hours the pa
tient will be out of danger"
1t is said that this remedy has
never failed to effect a cure. From
three to four applications usually
are all that are needed to start the
perspiration freely from the chest.
The remedy is said to have
orr ginated BY a New England phv-
stefan, who achieved great success
through the application of simple
remedies. Elk.

FIDDLERs AtD DRUMMERs.
The Two Classes kf Insects That Pro-
duce Audible Sounds.

The Two Classes 81 Insects That Pro-
duce Audible Sounds.
Insects that produce sounds audible
to human ears have )een roughly divid-
ed into two classes tiddlers and drum
mers. The grasshoppr is fiddler and
makes music by scrapng its fore wings
against the rows Of spnelike teeth that
ornament its thighs. the katydid also
plays an entomologica fiddle. 1t pro-
duces its notes by rubbing the inner
side of the hind legspver the front
wings.
The locust, on the othr hand, is a
drummer, and a loud lne too. His
drum is formed by membrane stu
ated at the base Of the foe wing, and
he can make a forest ring With it. The
cicada, or seventeen year locust, car
ries a drum at the base Of tie abdomen
and makes with it a noise, hat seems
to be quite as terrifying In the insect
world as that produced by lhe gorilla
pounding its resounding chests among
wild beasts. 1t is said that tie cicada
sometimes frightens away its enemies
with the rattle of its drum.
There are other drumming Insects
which make good music, but the ,iolin-
lists, after all, carry off the pain, for
the great insect soloist, the cricket is
fiddler.

THE BRIDES OF VENICE.
An Ancient Custom That Once Had a
Rude Interruption.

An Ancient Custom That Once Had a
Rude Interruption.
In the year 902, according to old Gus
tom, all the brides for the year al
Venice assembled on st. Mary's eve al
the cathedral, taking with them their
dowries in small chests. There they
awaited their bridegrOoms, who fol
lowed them, and after mass they were
married and received the bishops
blessing.
In this year the sea rovers of Triest
burst in upon the expectant maidens,
who were all dressed in white, with
hair loosely flowing and interviewer
with threads Of gold, carried them Of
to their banks and hoisted sail.
The doge of Venice summoned his
men to arms, pursued the rovers, over
took them in creek still known as
the Port Of the Damsels and brought
the brides back in triumph.
In memory Of this event a solemn
procession Of twelve young women
took place yearly, and the Marian
games were observed with great splen-
dor until the year 1879, when they
were discontinued in time of dis
astrous war-London Standard.
