Three blind men fshed skilfully,
side by side, in a launch OF Anglesea,
drawing in black bass and founders
at the rate of one q minute. They
never missed Il bite. They never
failed to land fish. Only the cap
tain had to bait their hooks for them
but then the captain bats the
hooks of all depp-sea anglers as a
rule.
The sightless trio, smiling, said
that blind fishermen were not rare;
that in the institution where they
lived full third of the inmates
fshed.
They pointed out that fishing is a
sport singularly suited for the blind.
TO sit still, to catch fish by feeling
them on the line, is, indeed the only
sport where tho blind are at no dis
advantage. Fly fishing, of course, is
beyond them, on account of the diff
fcultieR of the cast. ~ i..,.
Side by side in the rocking launch,
hauling in the bass and founders
briskly, their faces growing redder
and redder with sunburn, the three
blind men fished and smoked and
chartered, and at the days end it
was found that they had severally
caught more fish than any other man
aboard. Chicago Chronicle.

For the Lamps.

All lamp burners and wicks should
be thoroughly cleansed as often as
once a month. Take out the wicks
and put them into pan of boiling
water with a teaspoonful of washing
soda, set the pan on the stove and let
boil for an hour, when they should
be taken out, rinsed we'll in clean
water and dried in the sun. Put the
burners also into pan OF boiling
water in which has been dissolved
three teaspoonfuls of washing soda,
and boil and rinse in the same way.
Thoroughly wash out the bowl OF the
lamp and refill with clean, fresh Oil.
That taken from the emptied lamp
may be put into bottle and used Tor
cleaning in various ways. When the
wick and burners are dried, return
them to the freshly-filled lamp, trim
the wick carefully, lighting to see
If all is right, before you set it away.
All soft or tissue papers should be
saved for chimney cleaners, and when
the lamp is filled and ready to be set
away. 1t is better to rub the charred
edge off the wick with bit of paper
than to try to even it with the scis-
sors. One of the most necessary
articles in the home is clear, sweet
smelling light.

The Only Safe Attitude.

remember some years ago climn-
Ing the Wesshorn above Zermatt Val
lev with two guides. There had been
series of severe storms and ours was
the first ascent for some weeks, consc-
uuently we had great deal OF step
cutting to do up the main arete. we
had left the cabin at . in the morning,
and it was nearly 0 before we reached
the summit, which consisted, as did so
many peaks in the Alps, of spiinterea
rocks protrudng from the snow. My
leading guide stood aside to let me be
first on top. And |, with the long labor
Of the climb over and eXhilaratcd by
the thought of the great view awaiting
me. but forgctful Of the high gale that
was blowing on the other side OF the
rocks, sprang eagerly up them ana
stood erect to see the view. The guide
pulled me down. On your knees, sir.
You are not safe there except on your

EARTHQUAKE MOVED NOUN
TAIN.

Whole mountains were moved by the
earthquake. Investigations at Palo Alto,
CAL, by geological experts, it is said,
show that the small mountain range
known as Sierra-Alorena or Sierra
Santa Cruz, has been moved northward
from three to six feet. This range
forms the backbone of the peninsula OF
San Francisco. Along the base of the
Moreno range for 40 miles extends a
narrow valley which marks an old geo.
logical fault. When it was made the
rocks on the east side fell about 1000
feet relatively with those on the west side,
which constitutes the Morena range.
Most earthquake shocks about San Fran
cisco are the result of friction and read
justment along the line of this old fault.
The violent shock of April Is clearly
was due to this old fault, which reopened
on the west side. This fault slipped
northward three to six feet without
change of level on either side, and when
the strain on the Moreno range was re-
lieved the earthquake ceased At first
the motion was horizontal, and then
waves from more distant points caused
extraordinary twists.

Spirit. and they that worship, Him
must worship Him in spirit and In
truth" Again, when His disciples
had been quarreling among them
selves as to who should be the great
est, once more He had an opportunity
to express Himself, not only to teach,
but to live out, His thought. He
girded Himself with towel and
washed their feet, and said: Let
him who would be great among you
be your servant" What high JOY
He must have had as He not only
revealed His word, but by His action,
for all time-for the generations yet
unborn-taught the truth Of the dig
nifty of service; and If to-day the
world is moving toward wider
brotherhood, If we are thinking not
so much of ourselves and more OF
our neighbors, 1t is because He per-
formed that lowly service. He had
been talking, also, about faith; that
God was their Father and that He
would never desert those who put
their faith in Him. In the hour or
awful blackness, of excruciating
physical and mental agony, His
faith rose triumphant. All! there
was the supreme triumph of Ills
faith. Not in the words He had
spoken, but in the life He lived and
in the way in which He met the
awful tragedy and in the glorious
elimination of His earthly life:
The practical application OF all
this is not difficult. All men have
some sense of destiny, some con-
seriousness of call. some feeling
with respect to conduct. Every man
has moments of Godlike aspirations.
Surely, there come to us IN mo-
ments of high, spiritual endowment,
when the soul knows what 1t ought
to do for its triumph or undoing,
and mans time shall come when he
ia true to the revelation OF truth
that is in him. when he expresses IN
his speech and life the convictiona
that have grown in moments OF SUI
preme inspiration and insight. The
mighty men of the world are the men
who have been able to do this There
was Paul and Martin Luther and
John Wesley and Abraham Lincoln.
God pours into some men more than
He is able to pour into others. be-
cause tley are dDlt W lSSSi'S hioi ~
While it is true that we cannot all
be geniuses and giants, 1t is also true
that every man may live his com
plete, full-orbed life. He may feel
first that he has come from God;
that his destiny is to return to God,
and his business is to breathe in the
teaching and love and spirit of the
Infinite Father, and day by day be
true to the beautiful, pure and noble
suggestions that God will breathe
into him. If man will do this
there is no question of his influence.
The history of Jesus is proof posi-
tive on the point. He lived His life
truly and loyalty, and His world,
which Is the universe, swings around
in obedience to His truth. An,
friends, If we will be as loyal in our
place and limited sphere, the world
will be lifted up by us Just as
Christ's life-world was lifted by
Him. It is in this sense that we are
to follow Him and recognize that lie
is our example day by day as we so
forth to the work and duty of our
life.

TAKING NO CHANCES.

A Glasgow steamship, says Harper's
Weekly, was laboring in a heavy sea,
the waves sometimes sweeping her
decks, but the officers had assured the
passengers that there was no danger,
and all seemed reasonably calm with
the exception of one mcek-appearing
little man, who, every few minutes,
would approach all officer and anxiously
inquire if he thought the ship would
founder

while radium cannot take the place

chiefly on account of being stored in

Testing Small traits.

Testing small frutsi is so simple, ac-
cording to an old time dealer, that
woman who has had any experience
in buying supplies for the house
hold should be able to judge their
edible qualities easily.
With the larger fruit, such as
melons, a woman must have some
experience" said he, "before she
can be sure that the ones she selects
are ripe and good. With both water
melons and cantaloupes weight
should be a determining factor in
the choice. Then, too, with the for
mer, If ripe, the rind should be SOFT
enough for an indentation to be
made with the finger nail or the
sharp end of a pencil, for as rule
when they are hard and resist such
pressure 1t is an indication that they
have not become sufficiently ripe to
eat. OF the many varieties on the
market the Georgia melons are the
best--that is, the sweetest--in my
opinion. Many dealers do not OBJ
jact to cutting into melon when a
buyer has selected one, and If a
merchant is willing to make such a
test | should suggest that a woman
accept such an offer.

Wiring the cloth rather dry from this

ing. An ordinary broom should
not be used upon linoleum any more
than upon a hardwood floor, because
it is too harsh, and in time produces
unsightly scratches. Have a soft,
long-handled brush, which takes the
dust from a polished surface much
better than broom, and does not
scratch or mar the surface; then
finish with a clean cloth wrung out
of the oil and water. Most house.
keepers and nearly all servants scrub

were a bare floor. They are dusty
rather than dirty, since everything

INTEREST IN ZAPUPE CULTURE.
Capitalists Investing in Mexican
Land For Raising Fiber Plant.

Zapupe culture continues to be a
field Of large investment for many
capitalists of Tampico, Mexico, and
also of many investors from the
United States. Within the past
month there have been six large
concerns, two of which are located
in New York and one in Kansas
City, that have sent their represent
tatives to Tampico to look carefully
into the question of zapupe culture.
Three deals in land suitable for rails
ing the fibre have been made, and
several others are pending.
The nature Of the plant has many
things to recommend it to the
planter; 1t is very hardy, runs little
stocks, natures quickly and lasts
fifteen years. is not dependent to
any extent on climatic conditions Or
moisture, and the fibre is extracted
from the leaves with economy There
are several grades of Zapupe and
planters have not as yet come to an
agreement as to which is the best.
The industry Is In its infancy a3
yet. Planting at present is more in
the northern parts of Vera Cruz,
though there are several large tracts
set out in Southern Tamaulipas as
we'll.
Experts say that the Zapupe fibre
is far superior to henequen fibre,
can be used in the manufacture of a
much finer grade of material, and as
such will command good deal
higher price. On the other hand,
one experienced, wealthy and in
fluential planter in this State claims
that while zapupe is undoubtedly q
good thing, hencquen in these parts
is better than zapupe, and far better
than it ever was in Yucatan.
