Emperor a Working Man.

He Emperor William) is certainly . working man. The record of each of his days at Berlin or Potsdam, as given in the press, shows that every hour from dawn to long after dark brings Its duties-duties demanding wide ob- servation, close study, concentration of thought, and decision. Nor Is his at- tention bounded by German interests. He is keen student of the world at large. At various interviews there was ample evidence of his close obser- vation of the present President of the United States, and of appreciation of his doings and qualities; so, too, when the struggle for decent government in New York was going on, he showed an intelligent interest in Seth Low; and in various other American matters there was recognition of the value of any important stroke of good work done by our countrymen.-From An drew D.

A RESOURcEfUL WOMAN.

A year passed as a prisoner in a small city bedroom never visited by the sun, and making up in noise what 1t lacked in light, would be a severe punishment for most women. But a woman who had gone through a long Imprisonment in her home, made necessary by fall, and had come out again into active life, surprised pros porous friend by saying, "Oh, I en- ioyed myself all those months"
 Enjoyed yourself! What do you mean" asked her friend.
 q enjoyed myself" answered the convalescent. q had little else to give me pleasure. and so just studied my own resources. did not know had so many of them. Most of them owe to my mother, who taught me SO many occupations when I was . child. l knitted and I netted and made tat ting. I crocheted and I embroidered, and drew-very badly-the trees and clouds outside my window. I repeat. cd poetry and the Bible. worked out charades and enigmas. Best of all, I read and read and read. It seemed rather hard at the time that could not have all the books I wanted. But now I know that rellshed the moro those did have, and I read them until I knew them almost by heart. So 1t was good year, after all"
 The multiplication of resources Is . wonderful defense against many of the trials which life holds for a woman. Each new power of mind and of hand is a new weapon against wearinesS and new guaranty that the possessor shall be capable under all circum, stances of enjoying herself.

Laugh.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is better than medicine. Learn how to tell story. A well told staay is as welcome as sunbeam in a sickro0m. Learn to keep your own troubles to yourself. The world is too busy to care for your ills and sorrows. Learn to stop croaking. If you cannot see any good in the world keep the bad to yourself. Learn to hide your pains and aches under a pleasant smile. No one cares to hear whether you have the earache, headache or rheumatism. Don't cry. Tears do well enough in novels, but they are out of place in real life. Learn to meet your friends with smile. The good humored man or woman is always welcome, but the dyspeptic or hypochondriac is not wanted anywhere and is . nuisance as well,

Corrected,

Noah Webster, the Photographer, was, as might be supposed, a stickler for good English, and often reproved his wife's misuse of the language.
 On one occasion Webster happened to be alone in the dining room with their very pretty housemaid, and, be- ing susceptible to such charms, put his arms around her and kissed her squarely on the mouth.
 Just at this moment Mrs. Webster entered the room, gasped, stood aghast, and, in tone of horror, exclaimed:
 "Why, Noah, I am surprised"
 Whereupon Mir. Webster, coolly and calmly, but with every evidence of dis gust, turned upon her.
 "How many times must I correct you on the use of simple words?" he remarked. "You mean, madam, that you are astonished. I, madam-I am the one who is surprised"

War on Cocaine in India.
lnt9

The drug cocaine has laid such a hold on the natives of India that tie authorities are making strenuous ef- forts to prevent its unrestricted dis tribution.
 Within the last few years ship. ment of cocaine worth lac of rupees ($33, ,33O was shipped to Calcutta, and the excise department intervened, with the result that the cocaine had to be sent back to England.
 The results of taking cocaine regu- larly for any length of time are dread full. The immediate effect is de- lightful feeling of languor, the ulti- mate effect is the ruin of mind and body.
 In Europe and America the drug is usually taken by injection, but the In. dian found another method. "Pan SUI. pari' was already an institution. "Pan supari" was a kind of native chewing gum. It consisted of leaf smeared with lime and rubbed with areca nut, cloves and various arOmatics. Then the native added cocaine and found "pan supari'' an excellent means of taking the drug.
 The abuse of cocaine by the natives grew to such an alarming extent that two years ago measure was intro- duced prohibiting the sale except by licensed persons. Native offenders against the law have been prosecuted in large numbers.

The Teacher Taught.

In their efforts to teach children, parents are often surprised by the original views which the youngsters take, and by their presentation of views which, while they may be but partial, are at least correct and dis eliminating so far as they go.
 It occurred to father, who noticed a carpenter hammerlng upon the roof of distant house, that he would give his little son (eight years old) a lesson in physics, by calling attention to the fact that the blows of the hammer could be seen before the sound made by them could be heard, and explain ing that the difference in time be- tweeen the seeing of the blows and the hearing of the noise was due to the fact that light travels much fast CT than sound. He sought to introduce the subject by asking the boy if he understood why 1t was that he could see the hammer fall before he could hear the noise of thestroke. He was astonished to receive the reply: "Yes; it's because my eyes are nearer to the hammer than my ears."-St. Nicholas.

The Art of Eating.

Eating is the first thing we learn to do, and the last thing we learn to do right. Some never learn it at all, and end their lives and their happiness through the neglect. AS it consumes much of our time and must always do so, it is duty to make it an ade. quate source of pleasure. It is some thing which all may appreciate, and 90 has much to do with democratizing pleasure. As long as pleasure is con- fined to the higher-to music, litera- ture or contemplation-it must be lim- ited, and be the privilege of few who can have the required culture. It is important to secure enjoyments which all men may have and not depreciate the capacity of the poor or low. That there may be much happiness 1t must be in the many, and these can have only simple happiness. The good things of life must be found in the common acts in the elementary things which are necessary to life itself, or which everyone will occasionally have. To disparage physical" enjoy ments-though all enjoyments are such-is to try to limit enjoyment to the rich or the educated.-Boston Cook ing School Magazine.

or the Water Cart,

Falling off the water wagon is easy, but being knocked off is different. Now, the driver of sprinkling cart is surely on the water wagon if any one is, and it was the driver of such a vehicle that trolley car knocked off the other morning. The water wagon was on the car tracks going in the same direction as the car. The car ran into the wet end of the cart and there was something doing.
 First, off went the driver. Then the motorman got an unexpected bath. To dodge the shower from the sprinkler he opened the car doors and jumped in- side, and 50 doused some of the pas sengers. But no one lost his temper Everybody grinned and joshed tho sprinkling cart driver about the ease with which he had fallen of the water wagon.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

FOX HUNTING IN AMERICA
ro"Follow the Hounds" Requires Good
 HOrscmanship,

H0rscmanship.
 There are four kinds of fox hunters In America. The object of the first is to destroy the fox. A farmers boy with shotgun lies in ambush upon a runway and pots him as he trots by. This, from the English point of view, says writer in Outing, is litrle worse than murder and as bad as pOaching. The man who shoots foxes enjoys an ignominy, at least in the minds of other fox hunters, which is unique.
 their sport in watching or listening to native hounds trail fox. They go afield on foot and post themselves on high ground commanding the runway. In Kentucky and in parts of New Eng land this is deservedly popular sport, offering as 1t does an opportunity for testing the remarkable nose of the American hound.
 In fox hunting of the third kind the object is to pursue fox with hounds and to follow the hounds across coun- try with horses. To most fox hunters of this category the following is the most important part. It requires horse manship, . good horse and lasting en- thusiasm to ride well and hard to hounds.
 The fox hunters of the fourth class, to make an Irish statement, do not hunt a fox at all, but drag; neverthe- less, they ride to hounds and this al- lies them to those who ride to hounds after wild fox.
 In the northern states various c0ndi- tions tend to make drag hunting more practicable and popular than wild-fox hunting. Wild foxes are not usually plentiful in regions near most of the large northern cities; moreover, it off, ten takes a great deal of time to find a wild fox when they are plentiful and when you do find him he may not run very far. The men of the north who are mostly in business cannot spare whole days, nor do they care to take chances of going out without getting a run. As consequence the hunting life at such centers as Dedham and Myopia near Boston; at MeadOwbrook, Eatontown, Goshen and Staten Island near New York, has developed around drag hounds.

Woman's Visual Angle.

"Have you eyes in the back of your head?" asked a country magistrate of . woman, and the woman promptly re piled that she had. She was perfect. ly right. Take any average man and any average woman, question them as to the dress and department of the peo. pie in any assembly where they were together, and you will find that the woman has seen more than the man, for woman has been compelled to en- large the angle of her vision and to see all around her hat without shift ing an eye.
 From an carly ago instinct tells the girl, and convention seals the instinct, that she must not look directly at the man in the street. therefore the hon. est woman walks through London looking straight ahead. The direct look at the stranger is forbidden, yet human curiosity compels, so develops and enlarges that angle of vision, for no woman will deliberately blind her. self, and therefore by continual exer- else those calm conventional eyes that look to the horizon and the infinite have trained themselves to sce she world out of the -obliQuely.- London Chronicle.

serve the fruits of this labor and ex-
pense. 1t has been a custom for some
time for many farmers to do their
heavy hauling at a time when the
fields are too wet for work. They
have undoubtedly done this thought
lessly, but at the same time they
have been in the habit of cutting up
the worked roads in a manner most
displeasing. When the fields are too
wet for work, the roads are too wet
for heavy hauling 1t is all right to
haul light roads when the roads are
wet, but the heavy loads ruin the
good work of the drags. In many
states there are laws prohibiting the
hauling of heavy loads when the
roads are wet. There is no such law
in New Mexico, but as the said laws
were passed by farmer legislatures
for the benefit of the farmers them
selves, the farmers of New Mexico
should realize the benefit it will mean
for them, and act accordingly.

Declared a Mis-TriaI.

While in the midst of it's trial, the
case of T. NJ Daniel against B. H.
Tallmadge took a peculiar turn in
district court Thursday evening. AT
ter the session of the afternoon
night session was called at which the
trial was to have been continued. Du-
ring the supper hour two of the jury
men in the case inadvertently drop
ped into the store of Daniel & Daniel,
and were seen there by officers of
the court. The fact was reported and
Judge Pope declared it a mis-trial, so
the case will have to be tried over.
Judge Pope said that he declared It
mis-trial because of the fact that,
in case of a verdict for plaintiff, de-
fendant could call for a new trial on
the ground that the jurymen had
been in plaintiffs store during the
hearing. The jurymen were repriman-
ded for their carelessness in the mat
ter.

After expressing himself in favor of
honest elections, and declaring that
municipal ownership is bound to
come some day, Mr.. Carnegie said:
The insurance scandals have made
a profound impression throughout all
Europe. The root of the trouble is
that there are so many men in Amer
ica who are SO good natured that
they lend their names to financial in
stitutions and assume duties which
they have not the time to perform.
Their respectable names are used as
decoys by the real managers of the
concerns over which they have no
control What we need to control
such evils is men in office who are
not money grabbers or who are re
tired from private business, and who
will conduct public offices as they
would their own business
