Being in bondage TO the blues is
precisely like being lost in London
fog. The latter is thick and black and
obliterates familiar landmarks. A
man may be within few doors of his
home, yet grope helplessly through the
murk to find the well-worn threshold.
A person under the tyranny of the
blues is temporarily unable to adjust
life to its usual limitations He or she
cannot see an inch beyond the dread
full present. Everything looks dark
end forbiddng and despair with an
iron clutch, pins its victim down.
People think loosely, that trials that
may be weighed and measured and felt
and handled, are the worst trials to
which flesh is heir. Loss of fortune,
loss Of children, loss of friends, they
call these disasters that must tax the
soul to its utmost endurance, and
crush the heart beneath their weight.
But they are mistaken. Hearts are
elastic and real sorrows seldom crush
them. Souls have in them wonder
full capacity for recovering after knock
down blows. 1t is the intangible, the
thing that one breads vaguely, that
catches one in the dark, that suggests
and intimates a peril that is spiritual
rather than mortal; - the burden
that carries dismay and terror to the
Imagination.
Half our fears in life and more than
half our troubles, as we known when
we are reasonable are perfectly
groundless, Apprehensions of evil are
worse than evils themselves.
A tendency to the blues may be an
unfortunate legacy from a forgotten
great-grandfather Away back in
the shadowy past there was somebody
In the family line who had lost the
power OF looking up and, like Bunyans s

a Quaker Whisky Cure,

William Penn was once urging a
man he knew TO stop drinking to ex

Making Good Use of cinders.

The street railway operating plant
of Portland, Ore, which employs
sawmill refuse as fuel, has adopted q
cinder-separating plant with great
success. A powerful draft from a
steel fan forces the furnace smoke
through steel plate flue into yer.
teal steel cylinder 80 feet in diane.
ter, The bottom is a cone-shaped
hopper for receiving the cinders, while
the smoke, after losing its velocity,
slowly emerges through an aperture
at the top. AS the gases lose velocity
the cinders, being heavier, drop into
the hopper, whence they are conveyed
back to the furnaces to be completely
burned. Besides abating the nuisance
the boiler economy is increased.

this important difference except that
the German trade is pushed and easy
