Bait Box Ready

The Rev NJ. II. Smith, while pas
tor of the Methodist Episcopal
church of South Londonderry. Vt,
preached at least one sermon which
will be remembered by those who
heard it. His text was, "FolIow me,
and | will make YOU fishers of men"
Now, the minister was great
lover of trout fishing, and his baby
boy of four, who was then making
mud pies in the parsonage yard near
by, knew it well. Hearing his fa-
Their talking about fishing and wish
ing to help papa get ready, he got
the bait box, and, trudging up the
center aisle straight to the pulpit,
he held it up and said:
Heres your bait box. papa"
Luckily for the minister, he was
nearly through, and he managed to
tnlsh without a smile.-Boston Her

Mental Poise and Health.

People who reach extreme old age
are, as rule, pretty well balanced,
physically and mentally. \ poised
life Is serene, and serenity and har-
mony tend to longevity. The mind
that is not well balanced is con-
stantly tangled and out of tune.
There Is Il constant Earring which
racks the whole human machinery.
There is discord in an unbalanced
life, and discord is always destruc-
tlye--deadly. The well poised, dig
nitied life is not thrown off its cen
ter quickly. The man who goes all
to pieces over tritles is one sided.
There Is a momentum in poised.
balanced nature which steadies its
progress and hel ps hold it on its
chosen track. Hot temper, con-
slant mental confusions and disor-
der are vitality sappers-life short
eners.-Success Magazine.

What most people call deep and
earnest convictions" on political
and social topics are generally mud
die headed medleys of knowledge of
fact and opinion. They know that
such and such a thing is an evil and
they opine that they see a way to
amend it, and if wiser people point
out TO them that the evil would not
be so amended OF that greater evils
would accrue from the attempt they
only feel that their conviction
are afTronted and opposed by cold
blsoded calculations. This kind OF
opinion is often as confident as ac-
tual neutrality-suspicious. Graphic.

When Postage Was Hiah.

Letters were a luxury beyond the
reach of many people in the old
days before the time of cheap post
age. CoIeridgc as a Young poet was
roaming the lake district. He came
TO Il village inn in time to see the
post messenger hand a letter over
the counter to the girl behind the
bar. She gazed at it earnestly. re-
juctantIy handed it back and sighed
deeply as she said She was too poor
TO pay the necessary shilling. The
tender hearted poet, in spite of the
EIrl ; eager remonstrancc. paid the
money. When the postman had
gone the barmaid confessed that She
had arranged a system of HERO
ElNphicS with her brothcr-signs ON
the envelope which She could under
stand, and that told her all she
wanted to know.

The "spinerct" or web machine
of the common garden spider is an
object worthy of the careful study
of every owner of a microscope. 1t
consists of four united masses. each
pierced by a multitude of holes, the
openings being imperceptible to the
naked eye. These several holes
each permit the passage of a single
thread. Some idea of the infnitesi-
NAL tineness of these threads may
be gained when tits known that the
spiders thread as We see it is made
up of upward of 1000 minute webs,
1000 from each Of the four spin
eret masses. These 1000 separate
threads unite at the main opening
of the splneret, making the single
tilament from which the spider
spins its web.

! ish the necessary steerage- to reach the lightship. Carling gathered up an armful of loose wraps and went for
 ward to where Miss Chester was sitting holding the wheel. He enveloped the girl in a warm steamer rug. then took the wheel gently from her hands and, without a word. threw his free arm about her shoulders and drew her to his side Naturally as a tired child her head found a resting place upon his big shoulder. and so they drifted on, out into the gathering gloom.
 A white mist had hidden the rowland astern and soon the air was filled with large, white flakes of snow falling si- lently into the dark water. The light ship. looming through the murk, was almost hidden, when all at once out blazed the two great lights. cleaving the darkened, snOw-filled air and seem- ing 10 shine a welcome.

 Can ye make out to get up, ma'am?' asked the captain. anxiously. Good, My. but you're as spry as a mackerel Jump up, cap-my boys will drop her astern. and I reckon she'll lie all right"
 Doris had already reached the deck, and Carling acted on the advice of the captain. They looked about them cu- riously; the heavy masts. the great lamps half-mast high the big horn and other massive gear for warning vessels of the dread Shark ShOal. were strange ly impressive as seen in that half light and through the flying mist Of snow.

LABOR RECEIVES
 CHRISTMAS GK l
Big Corporations, Led by the PennsyI- vania Railroad, Make wage increases Agsregating Almost s10o, 1000, 900.

Within a month practically every important railroad system and the largest of the industrial corporations have declared increases in the wages of employees. The Pennsylvania rail- road took the lead voluntarily. Its lS5.O00 employees east and west of Pittsburg will this month receive a million dollars more than they did in November as the result of the recent 10 per cent advance.
 When the Pennsylvania announced its raise in wages it was predicted that the example would be followed by other large employers of labor. One after another. in quick succession, a dozen or more corporations gave the glad tidings to their employees. The Reading made general advance of 10 per cent, the Erie conceded a mileage basis for payment of engineers on all divisions, the Lackawanna increased the pay of employees in the traffic de- partment from to 20 per cent, and the New York Central granted its fire men a ten-hour day and a substantial increase. The roads centering in Chi cago increased their switchmen's pay four cents an hour. The Chicago. Mil Uaukee and St. Paul declared a gen crdl advance of II per cent for switch men. 7Ia per cent for firemen and 10 per cent for all other road employees.
 The Standard oil company has in- creased the pay of it's refinery employees and 6 per cent. The United States Steel corporation has allowed 10000 of its laborers an advance of 10 cents a day. About 11.O0O employees of the American Express company get raise of 10 per cent. a total of $700,0OO year. and 1000 employees of the Ma
