SUNDAY MEALS,
Do Not Overeat and You VIII Feel
Better on Monday,

Do Not Overent and You VIII Feel
Better on Monday.
II it Is desired to begin the week re-
freshed and ready for labor, rested In
mind and body, the eating customs of
Sunday will have to be read1usted.
Have later breakfast, IL desired, but
have then very light one even If you
are hungry, or, If it must be hearty,
then do not upset your digestive hab-
its any more than may be avoided and
have but two meals on that day and
eat no other. It would be far better to
have three light meals, lighter than
usual, If that could be arranged to fit
with the other household arrangements.
The custom Of noon dinner on that day
arises from the usual absence Of cook
or maid at the later one, and this may
be unavoidable. Very well, then; treat
this rs a rest day for cook and diges-
tive apparatus as well as from other
labors. Have light breakfast, light
dinner and a channg dish supper as
near the ordinary hours Of meals as
possible and remember as you are 60
ing to take less exercise than usual
you demand a lesser amount Of more
easily digested food.-Helen Johnson
in Good Housekeeping.

YOUR OPPORTUNITY,
Make Up Your Mind to Seek 1t Rath.
er Than Wait For 1t.

Make Up Your Mind to Seek 1t Rath.
er Than Wait For 1t.
1t Is dangerous thing to wait for
opportunities until it becomes a habit.
Energy and inclination for hard work
oozc out in the waiting. Opportunity
becomes invisible to those who are do
ing nothing or looking somewhere else
for it. 1t Is the great worker, the man
who Is alert for chances, that sees
them.
Some people become so opportunity
blind that they cannot see chances any
where-they would pass through gold
mine without noticing anything pre-
cious-while others will find opportuni-
ties in the most barren and out Of the
way places. Bunyan found opportu-
nifty in Bedford Jail to write the great
est allegory in the world on the un-
twisted paper that had been used to
cork his bottles Of milk. A Theodore
Parker or Lucy Stone sees an oppor-
tunity to go to college in chance to
pick berries. One boy sees an opening
to his ambition In a chance to chop
wood, wait OH table or run errands.
where another sees no chance at all.
One sees an opportunity to get an edu-
cation in the odds and ends Of time,
evenings and half holidays, which an
other throws away.-O. 8. Marden In
Success Magazine.

A WOMAN WHO SUCCEEDED.

Writing of "American Women
in Business" in the New Idea
Woman's Magazine for August.
Miss Elizabeth Howard West
wood says: IF you talk to the
heads of business concerns which
employ large numbers of women,
they will tell you stories which tax
your crcdulity. One of Chicago's
biggest department stores has as
the buyer of its jewclry a woman
who started in as messenger girl
twelve years ago. Her parents
were the poorest Russian immi-
grants. She was kept in school
only until she was of working age.
From the first she showed unusual
intelligence and Industry, and has
risen rapidly from step to step un'
til she now draws a salary of S5,-
600 year, and makes nearly as
much again on her commissions.
She has passed many men in her
race and won out entirely on the
grounds of her industrial effici-
ency. This is, of course, a case SO
unusual that it seems almost to
belong to the class of miraculous
occurrences, But it has proved
that, given the ability, sex is nc
obstacle.

sOER TOBACCO.
Natives Use 1t, but 1t Is Too Much
For White Men,

Natives Use 1t, but 1t Is Too Much
For White Men.
After 'rransvaal tobacco, but long
way after, comes Boer. The name is in
reality nowadays misnomer, for this
tobacco is grown largely in Natal and
Cape Colony. It is also cultivated in
the Orange River Colony, is sold by the
roll and can be obtained for about So q
pound If whole roll is purchased. 1t
ls also sold by the sack.
White men buy these sacks, but they
do not smoke the contents themselves;
they use it to reward the Kaffir serv-
ants for working overtime or doing any
other meritorious action. The taste for
Transvaal tobacco is an acquired one.
It also takes certain time before
man gets used to the scent. No white
so far lived long enough to acquire
liking for either the taste or the smell,
but it has it's uses in the case of the
natives, and 1t Is also useful If you
have an undesirable visitor whom you
are anxious to get rid of. Offer him
pipe of Boer tobacco, and he will never
enter your house again.
The traders purchase this weed large
ly. They also use 1t upon the natives
in the shape of presents, as every Kaf-
fir who makes purchase in country
store always asks for free gift, and
the competition to secure the native
trade is so acute that the request can
not be refused.-South Africa.

FLORlDA'S EXTENT.
The Everglade State Is Larger Tha
Most Folks Imagine.

The Everglade State Is Larger Than
Most Folks Imagine.
But few people have any conception
Of Florida's extent. Jacksonville is
about as far north of Miami as she is
south Of Charlotte, N. G.; about as far
north Of Key West as she is south Of
Danville, Va. Ignorance of the extent
of Florida leads to many amusing mis-
takes. We sometimes hear the rail-
roads Of the state charged with max
Ing poor time. Why, it takes over
twenty-four hours to go from Pensa-
cola to Miami. The man who makes
this remark would think he was travel
Ing on flier II he made the trip from
Pensacola to Chicago in the same
length Of time it would take him to go
to Miami. But there is very little diff
ference in the distance. A land trip
from one end Of Florida to the other is
as long as from the lakes to the gulf.
A citizen of Maine who makes up his
mind to come south may get on the
cars and pass through Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecti-
cut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware, Maryland, the Dis
trlct of Columbia and far into Virginia.
When he has done this he has taken
no longer ride than he could have TAX
en- by an equally direct line from one
Florida town to another, and there are
some men green enough to think they
are making poor time when they find
it takes them longer to go from Pensa-
cola to Miami than from the eastern
to the western side Of Maine. OF
course the old stagers do not make
these amusing mistakes. They have a
pretty clear conception of the geogra-
ply Of Florida. There are many, how
ever, who come on their first visit with
very hazy ideas of the state.-Florida

The Rainy Day.

A well known artist recently received
letter from chap who has regularly
made 1t a practice to borrow money
Of him. In this letter the chap who Is
always in financial difficulties surpris-
ed his correspondent by saying:
This time have decided to reverse
the usual order of things, and, instead
Of borrowing from you, inclose here
with $50. which I am going to ask that
YOU will lay aside for me for q rainy
day"
But the artist couldn't find any re-
mittance in the letter. He searched for
1t on the floor, under the table-in fact,
everywhere he thought he might have
dropped 1t. Then quite accidentally he
turned over the sheet on which the let
ter was written and discovered this
postscript:

and find It's raining like the very

Here is all explanation Of the old
horseshoe superstition: st. Dunstan
was skilled farrier. One day while
at work in his forge the devil entered
in disguise and requested Dunstan to
shoe his "single hoof." The saint, al
though he recognized his malign Gus
toner, acceded, but caused him 80
much pain during the operation that
Satan begged him to deslst. This st.
Dunstan did, but only after he had
made the evil one promise that neither
he nor any Of the lesser evil spirits, his
servants, would ever mOlest the III
mates Of IL house where the horseshoe
was displayed.

The Lowering Of Freishts on American
Roads.

In 1903, the average amount
paid for freight movement by
each inhabitant of the United
States was S16.72. Had the rate
paid been the same as it was in
1880 and the same freight move
ment made. the freight charge per
capita would have been S27.4o
If the freight rate of 1880 remain
ed stationary, as it has practically
done in England, and the country
had made the same freight move
ment that has been made since
then, there would have been paid
to the transportation companies
in excess of what has been paid
since that date 1876 per cent of
the total increase in wealth since
that date. If the same freight
movement from 1880 to 1904 had
been made, and the freight rates
had been as high as in England
in 1896, 62 per cent. of the total
growth in wealth would have been
consumed in additional freight
rates.
Thus there can be no doubt but
that, on the whole, the freight
rates of the country have been adj
justcd in the past in very nearly
the best way possible for the up
building of the country's COM

BOATING ON THE NILE,
The Best Pilots Run Aground Two OF
Three Times a Day.

The Best Pilots Run Aground Two or
Three Times a Day.
Navigation on the Nile Is not so COM
plicated matter as upon the north
Atlantic, writes Alonzo Clarke Robin
son in Outing. To run at full speed
upon sand bar is an occurrence Of
such frequency rs hardly to elicit a
comment from the passengers. The
crew take more interest because they
are obliged to push the boat off again
with poles, and this entails great
amount Of shouting and some work.
The Nile below the first cataract is a
fairly broad, muddy river, flowing be.
tween deposed banks varying from
Six to eight to twenty to thirty feet in
height. Its surface is interrupted ev-
erywhere by sand spits and islands
upon which are to be seen thousands
of birds. The channel, if such it can
be called, winds from one side to the
other and changes completely with ev-
cry food; hence even the best pilots
run aground two or three times day.
1t Is, Of course, impossible to proceed
at night, and each days voyage comes
to IN end wherever darkness happens
to overtake one. The boats nose Is
simply run plump on the bank, two
men leap out and drive stakes to which
to make fast, and there you are for the
night. A very simple and effective
method, without any ostentation and
requiring very little knowledge Of
mathematics; it has also the advantage
Of variety. Sometimes one finds one
self alone beneath the wonderful
Egyptian moon lighting up the river,
the distant cliffs and the silent, empty
plain, or perhaps one stops near some
little native village, in which case the
bank is lined with silent, curious fig
ures, who crouch for hours wrapped in
their white cloth coverings Once we
tied up beside lonely brick kiln. The
sight was a weird one The red flare
Of the furnace, fed. with sugar cane,
cast intermittent flashes Of light into
the night, in and out of which moved
black half naked natives, while over
head was the cloudless, star lit sky Of
Egypt.

WHY TRAVEL ABROAD7

An American Should Give His First
Study to His Home Land.
When Payne wrote There's No Place
Like Home" he gave poetic expression
to the love he bore toward the ingle
nook more precious than temples or
palaces" What flowers Of rhetoric
could approach IN power of assertion
these five little monosyllabic words,
There's No Place Like Home"-to
gainsay which were impossible!
1t Is the great privilege of Americans
to be able without hyperbole to apply
them to travel, for what is there in any
part Of the habitable globe more
fraught with interest, instruction, edu-
cation, refreshment of mind and body
and uplifting of soul than nature has
provided, with hand so lavish, for the
delectation Of those having the good
fortune to dwell In this goodly land?

A story of Sir Robert Rail.


Sir Robert Ball, the noted British as.
tronomer, on one occasion went to a
remote town in Ireland to lecture on
his favorite topic. Arriving at the sta
ton, he looked for the expected convey
ance, but found none. After all tho
other passengers had disappeared a
man stepped up and said, Maybe
you're Sir Robert Ball?' On receiving
an affirmative reply the man hastily
apologized, saying, "sure, your honor.
I'm sorry kept you waiting, but was
tould to look for an Intellectual gintle-
man." Sir Robert thought that under
the circumstances 1t would be better
not to inquire what was the mans idea
Of intellectually.
