Aut umn Leaves.

The falling leaf has lived its brief
and useful life until its hold on the
tree was loosened, and on warm
October afternoon it fell down, down,
in graceful spirals, glorious in its
burial robe of yellow and red, drop
ping onto the grass as gently as might
a yagrant feather. Marvellous and
.esquisitely beautiful in it's structure
and coloring, delicately veined like
the hand of a maiden, harmoniously
tinted like cathedral window, it
carried to its death all that was beau
tiful in the world in which it had
lived; always worker. from the first
spring day when its tiny head push
ed from the long dormant bud, al
ways working for its mother, the tree,
which is a bit stronger and bigger
for the good work done by the leaf;
in daily communion with the birds
and all the queer insect folk, swung
here and there by the soft summer
winds, whipped by the lash of the
tempest, glossy and bright with its
rain washings, with ever a broad face
for the sun, until its work was done,
and now it will settle down lower
and lower into the grass and the
frost and rain will steal away its
beauty and soon resolve it into a
mite OF humus and fertility to still
further feed its mother, the tree-its
life, its usefulness, its beautiful
death all SO very like that of the good
man.-Joe Trigg. in Register and
Leader.

HAWAIIAN SERVANTS.

A Story Which Illustrates One of

woman, "arc the best-the best in the

Hawaiian servants insist OH calling

Don't ever call me by my fret

so John was very careful always to
address me as 'Dcaric' OF Sweetheart,
but the new cook, watchful chap

THE HIGH CLASS KOREAN.

BcinE Drawing Room Gentleman,
He In n Slave to Dress.
The Korean is above everything else
man of the drawing room, and all
his instincts move along the leisurely
ways of life. Anything like haste or
zen pressement" is unknown to the
eternal laws that govern him. This
characteristic of his is evident in all
his actions at all times and under all
conceivable circumstances. Being a
drawing room gentleman, dress is the
great ambition OF his life. From the
shoes of his feet to the topknot on the
top of his head he is ordered SO rs to be
seen and admired of men.
His shoes while in mourning must be
spotlessly white. No atom of dust or
fly speck shall mar them. His socks,
beautifully puffed. are stitched to per-
fection; his pantaloons, big enough for
Brobdingnag, are padded, quilted
and ironed until they come forth look
ing like some mysterious fabric of pol
ished marble; his Jacket likewise and
his overcoat and wristlets.
Not only has he headband, top
knot and hat on his head but he
buys Il pair Of spectacles and adds
them to his already overcharged head
gear, and thus rugged, with ring on
his finger and fan in his hand, he
goes forth to make his way through
this troubled wordsworth China Her

Revenge.

Revenge is a poor thing; it does not
possess a single justifiablc attribute;
no one was ever commended for a
vengeful act; on the contrary, the
fairest action of a human life is
scorning to revenge an injury.
Revenge is said by some to be
sweet; sweet, possibly, for a short
time, but certain ere long to turn
bitter and recoil upon itself.
You may have quarrel with a
man, and you may possess the pow
er to deprive him of property or en-
ployment, and at the time of your
quarrel you may feel justified in so
doing, and you may permit the
spirit of revenge to govern your ac-
tions. Then, later on, you may meet
on the street poorly clad woman,
holding by the hand a still poorer
clad child. They look at you
through eyes dimmed with want and
pain and you turn away full of tor
ments, saying to yourself: ooh!
what miserable thing is revenge.
[ supposed that was fighting man,
bat in reality l was hitting this poor,
defenceless woman and her child"

THE MORNING BATH.
Conditions Under Which It should
Not lie Taken Cold.

Conditions Under Which It ShOuld
Not lie Taken Cold.
Cold baths in the morning are un-
doubtedly beneficial, but only to those
persons who have sufficient vital cier-
gy and nervous force to Insure good
reaction with no subsequent languor or
lassitude. Many persons who are great
ly refreshed by their morning bath feel
tired or languid two OF three hours aft
er it. When this occurs 1t is conclusive
evidence that the practice Is harmful.
Persons who have an abundance of
blood and flesh. who are Emphatic or
sluggish In temperament and whose
nervous force is not depleted, can take
cold morning bath to advantage.
Others who are inclined to be thin.
whose hands and feet become cold and
clammy on slight provocation, who di-
gest food slowly and assimilate it with
difficulty, who are nervous and who
have much on thelf minds should avoid
early morning cold bathing. For such
the bath before retiring at night is rec
onmended, as it should be followed by
rest of brain and body till equable con
t.isions of circulation are re-established.
Some persons who are weak in nerve
power have such eXcitable nerves that
they get at once a perfect reaction
from cold bathing, but lose in after eff
fects more than the value Of the bath.
This class OF individuals should not
bathe too often and should always use
tepid water, choosing the time prefer
ably before retiring.

A wonderful Memory.

Magliabecci had a memory so ex-
traordinary that it seemed to dwarf all
his other mental faculties. He read all
ancient and modern languages that
had a literature and was familiar with
the title and contents of every known
book. He once said that he could re-
peat the titles of over 100000 books
written in many languages on diver
sity of subjects. His whole life was
given to study. He commonly remain-
ed ut work all night, and when nature
could endure no more he lay down
wherever he Glanced to be. and with
the floor for a couch, book for a pill
low and covered with an old tattered
cloak he would sleep for few hours,
then rise and 80 to work again. He
literally knew everything that was
worth knowing in his time, but pro-
duced nothing of his own.

A CALL TO THE WOODS.
Commune With Yourself Occasion

Commune With Yourself Occasion
ally For Your own Good.
Mr.. Busy Man, leave your task some
day; let the shop take care of itself,
let the mill go as it may, let the plow
stand in its furrow, and take yourself
into the depths Of the solemn, shad-
owy woods. Call back, ah, call back
the forgotten years; collect around
you the old friends, the old thoughts.
the old ambitions, the mistakes you
made. the faults you had, the wrongs
You did or suffered, the opportunities
wasted, the vain things you sought, the
work that YOU might have done better,
the kind words you might have spoken
and did not, the good deeds you might
have done and did not, the frowns that
should have been smiles, the curses
that might have been blessings, the
tears that ought never to have been
shed, the wounds that need never have
been made.
Commune with yourself-your past,
your present, your future, your crimes,
Your weaknesses, your doubts, your
fears, your hopes, your despair-anl
thus let conscience and the angels of
your better self beat your soul into the
prayer:

AT a recent meeting of the New
Jersey Grange, Patrons of Industry,
held at Atlantic City, resolutions
were passed, declaring that all Sa-
looms should be abridged until they
are abolished, and that every COM
munity should be empowered by law,
to vote every saloon from its midst
and borders; condeming all influence
cs brought to win Legislation by
lobbyists and others, and deploring
the use of money in political cam
paigns. 1t also resolved, "rhat the
recent agitation and investigations
in regard to extravaganza in the
management of our great financial
institutions, the exposure of graft in
high places and the enormous power
exercised by great transportation
companies through combined ar
rangements, have aroused the people
to a realization of the necessities OF
vigorous action il they would protect
themselves against the inordinate de-
sires of wealth"

Balfour's $ End Near

Signs are multiplying that Prem
ier Balfour's resignation will soon be
forthcoming.
Since Parliament was dissolved
he has steadily been losing his hold
on his own party. Even the Anglo
japanese treaty failed to still the
universal dissatisfaction with his
leadership. His appeal to the
Unionists at Newcastle to present
solid front on his fiscal policy Of re-
taliation fell fat. Mr.. Chamberlain
cruelty declared that the sooner
general election was held the better
all round. He would rather be "a
member Of powerful minority than
an impotent majority"
Even the most confirmed Tory Or
gans concede that the Liberals will
bereturned to power on an appeal to
the country. They base their ulti-
mate hopes on the inability of the
Liberals to produce a strong leader,
although they themselves have
"muddlcd through somehow for
years under Balfour. Earl Spencer's
illness removes him from the field.
Lord Rosebery is out of the question.
On the Irish question and the issues
of colonialism he is more Unionist
than Liberal. A pleasing personal
ity, he lacks force and courage. The
best description of him is that of the
Vorwarts-" "a Chamberlain edition

The logical leader of a Liberal
Ministry is Campbell-Bannerman,

lHt HOMER or PORTUGAL


Camocns, the Gifted and Unfortunate
Author of "rhc Lusind."
"Thc Lusiad" Is one of the noblest
records ever written Of national glory
and success. Camoens, its gifted nu-
thor, determined to do for Portugal
what Homer had done for Greece. The
great poem was written In the six
teenth century, which has been called
the heroic age OF Portugal, and its
main feature is the rounding of the
Cape Of Good Hope by Nasco da Cana,
while most interesting episode Is the
crowning after death of Incz de Cas-
tro as queen Of Portugal. ''rhe I.u-
siad" took its name from Lusius, who
was said to have founded Lisbon.
Its author was born about 1920, and
his career, which began brilliantly, was
blighted by the death of broken heart
of the lady OF his love, for whose sake
he was bauiShed from the land. He
wrote "The I-usiad" in his banish-
ment and was recalled i'll 1911, losing
on the way all his property except
his poem. pcnsioned at first by the
king, this great epic poet Of Portugal
died in great poverty in 1910. when his
patron was also dead.

abounds In vlpers. The celebrants
form into weird procession, each per-

Il huge figure Of n snake stuffed with
cotton. AS they pass along they weep
and lament, believing that by the ex-

themselves proof against snake bites
