PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

You do not lift another's burden by
treating it lightly.
The only love that is wasted is that
which Is paid out.
Meekness does not buy mastery at
the cost of manliness.
Learning the duty of happiness, we
discover the happiness of duty.
No heart is more hungry than the
one that follows for the loaves alone.

MODERN WHALING IMPLEMENTS

The bit itself has cutters suitable for
wood and iron, but the principle upon
which it operates is the same, no mat
ter what kind of material it is going
through. There is the ordinary anger
bit. the face of which is set at right
angles TO the centre line of the spin
die, just-like any other boring bit, but
the square hole is formed by two mill
ing cutters, which revolve parallel to
each other just back of the principal
cutter and in a plane at right angles
to it. Our illustration shows the ar
rangement. The milling cutters have
faces broad enough to take out the cor
ners cleanly.s A sharp square hole is
the result. Taking off both milling
cutters will give round hole, and tax
ing off one will make the funnel-shaped
hole. A spiral or twist of metal on the
outside of the spindle conveys the chips
out of the mortise.

Humble Language Of a Great Man.

Humble Language OF d 1Tcdt Walt
at is only now and then that
Americans get an insight into the hui
initiating attitude taken by European
statesmen in dealing with their SOW
ereigns," remarked an official of the
State Department to a Star man a
few days ago. 1.-THE remarks of NJ
Witte in replying to a toast on the
Kaiser Wilhelm II during his voyage
home were an example of the humility
of really great men in referring to
the august sovereign, who in this case
is not at all a man of strength.
I'm the most humble language he
reminded the people who had sought
to honor him that he was practically
worm, fit only to grovel in the dust
and to obey the will of his master
He told them that that august master
had dictated everything he had done
in conducting the negotiations with
the Japanese ENJOYS. If any mistake
was committed it was he who COM
mitted it, but all that redounded to the
honor and the glory of Russia had
been inspired by the Emperor.
Poor fellow Few Americans know
how i'll it would be for M. White if
he had dared hold his head UP like
any American citizen would have done
after performing a duty we'll and truly
for his country, and have simply re-
NAMED quiet and allowed the world
to judge whether he or the puppet at
st. Petersburg had anything to do
with the. conduct of those diplomatic
negotiations which resulted SO greatly
to the advantage of Russia. | tell
you whenever true American gets
an insight into the lowness of citizen
ship in such monarchy as that OF
Russia, either abroad or at home, he
appreciates what it is to be an Ameri-
can citizen and to be an heir to that
independence that was established by
the Revolutionary fathers and which
still survives to even greater extent
than it existed a century ago. -
