Tent Life Cures Consumption.

A doctor in Denver some time ago
made some experiments with consump-
tives, A tent colony was established
little way out of Denver, and the
patients progressed fairly well during
the first part of the winter. But by
and by there was a blizzard, and the
thermometer went down to 20 degrees
below zero, and then they began to
improve very fast One woman did
not seem to improve at all until the
temperature reached this mark, and
then she improved rapidly She had
had no appetite, but that 20 degrees
below zero weather gave her an appe-
tite, which was an indication that the.
body was beginning to work naturally,
that the assimilative processes were
being resumed, and from that time she
kept on improving

Work Done by Optimists

He creates intelligence out of
idiocy, and proves to the law that the
deaf-blind man is a responsible being.
When Hauy offered to teach the blind
to read he was met by pessimism that
laughed at his folly Had he not be-
lieved that the soul of man is
mightier than the ignorance that fet-
tiers 1t, had he not been an optimist,
he would not have turned the fingers
of the blind into new instruments.
mo pessimist ever discovered the
secrets of the stars, or sailed to an
uncharted land, or opened new
heaven to the human spirit. st. Ber-
nard was SO deeply an optimist that
he believed $50 enlightened men could
illuminate the darkness which over
whelmed the period of the crusades;
and the light of his faith broke like a
new day upon western Europe"

Cheer-Mongers in Demand

There is new occupation opened
up to women, but one to which few
have come even though the rewards
are all that one could wish. Certainly
there is need of "cheer-mongers," but
| am afraid that the profession will
never be overcrowded, because l
know that cheerful women are none
too numerous. That is why they are
so much needed, says the Philadelphia
Bulletin.
A "cheer-monger' is just what the
name says, one who carries cheer into
every home she enters. She cures
morbidness by her stock of merry
tales, her cheerful bit of gossip con-
corning the world and her breezy
manner that suggests wholesomeness
and pleasant thoughts and acts. Doc
tors say that great part of the
worlds melancholy can be traced to
solitude and the lack of companion
ship. They also say that the tone of

In that place called Monte Carlo

would have quoted you that falsest of
all false proverbs, "A rolling stone

For otherwise it is an up-todate motto
enough. The rolling stone of to-day
remains polished and fiji for business.

it is only fit for a cushion-to be sat
