A SCHOOLGIRLS DECISION.
Different, 1t Might Have Changed the
Worlds History.

when Charles Wesley, one of the
founders of Methodism, was at school
a gentleman of the same name intro
duced himself by letter to the boys
father and declared his intention Of
making Charles his herr says writ
er. From that time forth the bene-
factor discharged the boys liability at
school and behaved as the handsOmest
Santa Claus all the year round. After
some years the incognito asked the boy
If he would accompany him to Ireland.
Charles eventually decided against go
ing. The stranger went his way alone.
In Ireland he struck up an acquaint-
ance with a person who adopted his
name Of Wesley, Or Wellesley, became
the first Earl Of Mornington, gran1fa-
Their of the Marquis Of Wellesley and
Of the Duke Of Wellington. Had
Charles Wesley accompanied his bene-
factor to Ireland there had been no
Methodist church, British India might
still have been menaced by foes, even
II it remained British at all; Napoleon
would never have met his Waterloo,
and England might have become an
appanage Of France. All this turned
upon the decision Of a schoolboy."

SCIENCE OF LIVING.
An Ounce of Good Cheer Is Worth q
Pound of Melancholy.

''It has been said that it is better to
be born lucky than rich" said Dr.
George r. Butler, "but it is in fact bet
ter to be born tough than either lucky
or rich. After forty eat less and elimi-
nate more. Drink more pure water and
keep the perisJaltic wave of prosperity
constantly moving down the alimenta-
ry canal. Many people suffer from too
much business and not enough health.
When such is the case they had better
cut out business and society for a time
and come down to mush and milk and
first principles Don't be foolish. Eat
less and play more. Indulge in less fret
and fume and more fruit and fun.
There are people too indolent to be
healthy-literally too lazy to live Work
your brains and keep in touch with
people Do something for others and
forget yourselves. There is nothing so

SPIDER SILK.
It's Wonderful Strength, Elasticity
and Lasting Quality.

The astronomer after the experience
of many years has found that the spi-
der furnishes the only thread which
can be successfully used in carrying
on his wort, writes Ambrose Swazey
In the Scientific American.
The spider lines mostly used are from
one-fifth to one-seventh of thousandth
of an inch in diameter, and, in addition
to their strength and elasticity, they
have the peculiar property of with
standing great changes of temperature,
and often when measuring the sun
spots. although the heat Is so intense
as to crack the lenses of the microme-
ter eyepiece, yet the spider lines are not
In the least injured.
The threads of the silkworm, al
though of great value as a commercial
product, are SO coarse and rough COM
pared with the silk of the spider that
they cannot be used in such instru-
ments.
Spider lines, although but a fraction
Of a thousandth of an inch in diameter,
are made up Of several thousands of
microscopic streams of fluid, which
unite and form a single line, and it is
because Of this that they remain true
and round under the highest magnify
ing power.

Senator Proctor and his wife headed

they encountered the Proctor party in

ORIGIN OF LLOYD'S.
Humble Beginning of Europe's Great
Maritime Agency

Two centuries ago a man who had
q cargo to send to the Mediterranean
contrived to get rid of some of the risk
by inducing friend to take an interest
with him. It was necessary to write
out a statement of contract to which
the guarantors subscribed. This was
the first underwriting. These two men
happened to be frequenters Of Lloyd's
coffee house in London, which was a
favorite place for the merchants of the
town to gather to discuss business or to
gossip.
Others Immediately saw the advan~
tage Of the scheme which their col
leagues had devised, and on the next
voyage the risk was parceled out
among a larger number Of the patrons
OF the coffee house.
Out Of this small beginning has
grown the great European maritime
agency, still bearing the name Of the
humble coffee house proprietor, and
which not only writes risks on vessels
but rates them and publishes their ar
rivals at every port the world over, nc
matter how small or how remotely sit

DON QUIXOT
The Philosophy OF Sancho F'.snza and

The enormous number of proverbiul

in England and France, at time when
the apothegm and maxim were favor

the ineXhaustible fund of humorous ac-
ton contained in the work, Sancho's
sententious dicta made the novul as a
collection of proverbs alone worth pres

AS in the case Of so many of Shake
speare's apothegms, hundreds of Sancho
Panza's saying have become so much a
part of our common speech as to sound

THE BLUE RACER.
It IL About the Fleetest Thing In the

"The swiftest snake / have ever
known is the blue racer, as we used to
call the reptile in the Arkansas foot
hills, and I want to tell you this par
ticular snake can travel like a blue
streak said a man from Arkansas.
''The fact is, the name blue racer was
given to the snake because of the rep
tiles feetness. I have seen blue racers
dart across the road at such a rapid
pace that you could only see a mere
suggestion of blue, and if you did not
happen to know the snake and it's hab-
Its you would not know what it was.
You could not possibly get the idea
that 1t was snake you had seen fash
through the dust of the country road
unless you knew something Of the blue
racer. Just what speed the snake
makes do not know, but it is a rapid
pace. The rattlesnake is supposed to
have good speed, and, as a matter of
fact, the rattler can whiz along at q
pretty swift gait, but the rattlesnake

AN OFFENDED BISHOP.
The Way Fond Mothers Joke ON
Her SON Went Astray.

''Bishop Maxwell, is it not?' inquir
ed Mrs. Spaulding cordially as her
guest came down to breakfast, suit
case in hand. II feel that know you
through my son, and / was so glad
when he arranged to have you stay
with us on your way through the city.
But what does this luggage mean?
You're going to stay day or so?'
"No, thank you, Mrs Spaulding," re-
turned the bishop. Il must go right
on today"
"Oh, that makes it doubly unfor-
tunate that had to be away last even
ing. | hope you found my message of
explanation? The friend l was called
to was very i'll, and I felt sure you
would understand but the fact that
Mr.. Spaulding was out Of town, too,
do hope my maid took care of you
comfortably and that you rested we'll
/ thought you must have been weary
when / came in at 10 and found you
had retired"
The bishop replied politely, but there
was an odd constraint in his manner
which lasted until he had bowed him
self out Of the house after breakfast.
"What can be the matter?" puzzled
Mrs. Spaulding as she watched the
distinguished gentleman stalking down
the street. "Dick was so anxious he
should like us!''
Then a sickening thought struck her
and she darted up the stairs.
1t had been Mrs. Spauldings custom
during the boyhood of her only son to
correct his failings by posting about
the house little placards which gently
pleaded with him on the error of his
ways. A week or two earlier, when
Dick was coming home for college
vacation, she had unearthed some of
these old signs and just for joke had
pinned them up in his room, like old
times. They had been taken down
later, but she remembered now that
after being summoned to the sick
friend the morning before, she had led
her new-and not brilliant-maid to
Dicks door and had said: II want
this room swept and arranged for Bish-
op Maxwell exactly as we did it for
Mr.. Dick last week. Do you under
stand"
With wings on her feet Mrs. Spauld-
ing flew to the room the bishop had oc-
cupied, but at the threshold she paused
and gasped.
On one of the pillows was a staring
notice to this effect: "Please put your
bed airing in the morningr' Over the
mirror, "Please don't spatter the glass;
On the window curtain, please don't
throw your shoes on the floor noisilyr'
Everywhere, on pictures and wall:
"Please don't leave your coat on a
chair Hang it upv' "Please don't
leave you toothbrush in the bath
roomw "Please turn off the hot water
faucetr'
There were at least fifteen of these
placards, the please underlined three
Or four times in each, but-horror of
horrors-the largest Of all was this. on
the inside of the door: eff you take /,
