A famous physician upon being asked

of food they take or the quantity of ex-

they never give themselves a moments

They ate, drank, slept, as nature
prompted them. Undoubtedly they
were healthier in mind and body for
their sublime Indifference. and II we
asked ourselves fewer questions we
should have less time to analyze or i'm

There were once three men who gave
q great deal of thought to the problem
Of what to do the first of the year.
The first man announced that he
had sworn Off all his bad habits. Ey-
erybody said he always was a wild
character, and 1t would be well to keep
closer watch than ever on him, as now
there was no telling when he would
cut loose worse than ever,
The second man, seeking TO profit by
the experience OF the first, declared
that he had not sworn off because he
had no bad habits to discard. The re-
suit was that everybody pronounced
him a hardened wretch, who was In
sensible and indifferent to the duties Of
life.
The third man studied their cases
and concluded that the best thing he
could do would be to say nothing what
ever. Whereupon everybody asserted
that he was too calloused TO reform
and was not worthy OF any respect at
all.
This simply goes to show that. no

There IL undoubtedly a practical art
Of discovering springs. Indians or
frontiersmen can ind water in the des-
ert when Z s'tenderfoot" cannot. MexL
cans and experienced prespectors can
similarly find ore. These arts consist
mainly in the recognition Of superficial
signs which escape the ordinary OBJ
server
II is not necessary that the operator
should consciously note these signs
separately and reason upon them. No
doubt he frequently does so, though he
may not give away the secret of his
method to others. But In many In
stances he recognizes by association
and memory the presence of a group
Of indications, great or small. which he
has repeatedly found to attend springs

which they had mixed successfully.
Apart from the magnetic minerals
there is no proof that ore deposits ex-
hibit their presence and nature by any
attraction or other active force. With
regard TO alter, however, there may
be an action affecting the temperature

likely that such effects are manifested

by direct affection of his nervous or
