Captains of fishing smacks in the
North sea have found that Goldfish AT
certain times of the year take sand in
TO their stomachs as ballast" This, it
would appear, is done when the fish
are about to migrate from the shallow
water covering the southern banks of
the North sea to the deeper water far
Their north. 1t has been observed that
fish caught on the southern banks Just
before the migration begins and those
caught in the northern waters after it
is completed have sand in their stom-
achs and that the sand is discharged
after the arrival Of the fish at the
southern banks on the return migra-
ton. In proof of this it is stated that
the sand found in the fish often differs
in color and quality from that of the
bottom where they are caught.-Wash-
ington Post.

W OF CHEERFULNESS.
The Way One Druggist Lighters the
Ills of His Customers

HIS OF HIS customers.
A pale. weak girl entered a down.
town drug store the other day. She
seemed about TO collapse. The propri-
etor assisted her into a chair and pre-
pared a mild stimulant for her. The
druggists manner was so sympathetic
that a little later she confided to him
that she suffered with her heart and
feared she had not much longer to live.
Heart disease?' inquired the drug
gist genially. "Why, l have heart dis
ease myself; have had it for years.
That's nothing. | don't worry myself
about it. | don't look like a man with
a load on his mind, do /? You prob
ably think that you are liable to drop
off any time. On the contrary, any
doctor will tell you that the average
person with heart disease generally
lives to a good old age. The very care
that a sufferer from heart disease takes
of himself or herself is calculated to
lengthen the years indefinitely. You
see, a man with a weak heart naturally
is careful of himself Il bit. He doesn't
NolliiilN hhN tANNHntNs never ONtGlOtS
anything, lives in moderation and thus
keeps his vitality unimpaired. That's
all you have to do-iust take care of
yourself. What's the use of worry
ing?"
The druggists cheerfulness was in
fictitious, the genial interest of his talk
made depression appear foolish, and
the girl oon began to look more hope
full and even smiled. After the drug
gist had gayly chatted with her awhile
she rose and walked out of the store
with a firm step.
This druggist, though he would scorn
the idea if suggested to him, is a bene-
factor to humanity. He is a believer
in the power of cheerfulness, and the
good that he does in his peculiar way
is not easy to estimate.
Not a day passes that he does not
impart his message of the cheerful life
to ONE despairing individual. He
makes all others ailments his own and
points out the uselessness of worry. A
man will come in bent and suffering.
Perhaps he conides to the druggist
that he has kidney disease and fears
his days are numbered. The druggist
Immediately informs him that there is
no cause for alarm; he has had kidney
trouble himself for, oh. so many years,
and has no intention of dropping off.
That druggist, in the course of a week,
probably will acknowledge that he Is
afflicted with every ailment except
housemaid's knee. He makes every
cOmplainer feel better. He fairly radi-
ates good cheer and optimism. 1t Is
his belief that half the sufferers in the
world have complaints that bright
spirits will overcome. But even when
they have a real disease it is his theory
that a little cheerfulness doesn't hurt
and that the malady is only agra
waited by constant depression. He
makes 1t his mission in life to drive
away depression and turn the thoughts
of people toward brighter things. His
cheerfulness is a tonic that never fails
to act.-New York Press.

Sinai was known as the turquoise
