Love in a cottage means a house
like this occupied by two young per-
sons of frugal tastes who are suited
to each other and have many things
in common to enjoy together. The
greatest happiness in this life is not
from the front end of the brown stone
mansion. Mayor Jones, of Toledo,
once said: There is more enjoyment
in the servants quarters in those big
stone houses than there is in the par

fun the help had when he was doing
chores for a living and attending
night school. They had the best of
everything going just the same as the
owner and they had no anxiety. While
Mayor Jones probably was right, in a
way, the fact remains that the desire
to own home is born with every one

The adventure Of contributor to
Science lasted but minute, but 1t
made up in intensity Of terror what 1t
lacked in duration Of time. The writer
tells his own story:
Some years ago while was making
researches In an excavation near
Frankfort, o., the center wall of the
mound was undermined by the work
men, and was struck by mass Of
falling earth. l had just stopped to
examine small bone which had been
uncovered when earth to the amount
OF several cart loads dropped on me.
No one else was in the excavation, the
men having gone to the top Of the
mound.
The falling mass knocked me back
ward, and fell with my Eead and
shoulders on small heap Of earth. The
falling wall of earth looked black to me,
and I we'll remember the rush of wind
It brought.
At first I felt little pain, only intense
pressure, which forced the buttons of
my costume partly inside my flesh.
My watch was pressed tight against
two ribs which were broken. The skin
on my forehead seemed cut, but 1t was
the pressure of my hat forcing the flesh
between the straw. The knife in my
pocket seemed burning hot. Just under
the small Of my back was large clod
which gave me uncomfortable pain, as If
my spine were slowly breaking. Then
it stopped, and I felt nothing.
Thoughts raced through my head like
lightning, thoughts of the past, present
and future. I remember trying in vain
to move a hand or finger. I was per-
fectly motionlesa My chest could not
be inflated. and the downward pressure

my mouth. l tried to keep my mouth
closed to prevent its being filed, but it
instinctively opened, and the earth fell
In. Then the assurance of strangling
came to me, but did not much care.
1t was just sixty seconds, the sur
veyor said, before the men reached me
and felt the earth move slightly. A
shovel struck my scalp and cut me. 1t
felt like redhot iron. When my head
was uncovered the pressure on my
body was so great the blood was forced
to my head until my rescuers feared
my veins would burst.

A Queer Yxnxer

There are men whose pride is in the
stole endurance Of acute discomfort.
They insist upon doing unpleasant
things in order to convince themselves
that they can do them. At Oxford
some years ago there was an eminent
Rugby football player whose passion
was to discover the most uncomforta-
BILE things and theft to do them. One
evening huniorist suggested that-as
it was January-it would be rather
beastly to sit in cold tub all night
long. The footballer at once offered to
wager that he could sit till morning
chapel time in his cold tub. And he
did it.-London Chronicle.

4 A. pale. weak girl entered down
town drug store the other day. She
seemed about to collapse. The propri-
etor assisted her into chair and pre-
pared q mild stimulant for her. The
druggists manner was SO sympathetic
that 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
gtst geniqlly. why. have heart dis.
ease myself; have had it for years.
That's nothing. don't worry myself
about it. don't look like man with
load on his mind, do I? You prob
ably think that you are liable to drop
of any time. On the contrary, any
doctor will tell you that the average
person with heart disease generally
lives to 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, man with weak heart naturally
is careful Of himself bit. He doesn't
commit any excuses. never overdoes
anything, lives in moderation and thus
keeps his vitality unimpaired. That's
all you have to do-just take care of
yourself. What's the use of WORRY.
ingY
: The druggists cheerfulness was in
fictitious, the genial interest of his talk
made depression appear foolish, and
the girl soon began to look more hope
ful and even smiled. After the drug
gist had gayly chatted with her awhile
she rose and walked out of the store
with firm step.
This druggist. though he would scorn
the idea If suggested to him, is bene-
factor to humanity. He Is believer
In the power of cheerfulness, and the
good that he does in his peculiar way
is not easy to estimate.
Not day passes that he does not
impart his message Of the cheerful life
to some 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 confides 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 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 IL
his belief that half the sufferers ia the
world have complaints that bright
spirits will overcome. But even when
they have real disease it is his theory
that little cheerfulness doesn't hurt
and that the malady is only aggra-
waited by constant depression. He
makes it his mission in life to drive
away depression and turn the thoughts
Of people toward brighter things. His
cheerfulness is tonic that never fails
to act.-New York Press.

The Earth. Three motions,

The motion of the earth at the equa-
tor is equal to nearly 1900 feet per
second, and the earth has three mo-
tons viz, the rotation on its axis in
one day Of twenty-four hours, the revo-
luton around the sun in one year Of
1854 days and very slow ~gyratory
motion at the poles. This last men
toned motion is very peculiar one
and has not long been known. The
poles move around the outside Of a
line at right angles to the plane Of the
ecliptic, coinciding with the line Of axle
rotation once in 25,S88 years.

Good and Bad in Us,

In confirmation OF the homelv truth
that there is much of good in the worst
OF men, comes the assertion of Judge
Cowing OF the New York Court of Gener.
al Sessions, that in his twenty-seven
yeas experience on the bench, sitting at
the edge OF the never.ceasing stream oil
crime and vice and evil, he has found in
every man more to praise than to con-
DENIM" Not less than thirty-6ve thous.
and men and women have passed before
Judge Cowing in the twenty-seven years,
to plead, to stand trial, to receive SEN
tence, and the crimes of which they
had been accused include every act count
ed as a crime in the penal code.
Certainly, the Judge has reason to be
a pessimist, if any one has. and yet he
has no patience with people who are all
the time talking about the tota depra witty
OF certain classes. He declares that it is
not in accordance with the truth. There
is plenty of good in the worst men and
women that come before him.
To lie, to deceive, to cheat, is not the
rule. On the contrary, people generally
tel! the truth and deal honesty. An
overwhelming majority of us do so, and
each of US does so in an overwhelming
majority OF instances. 1t is in the nature
of man to tell the truth, to deal honestly,
and to do what he deems to be right,
just as it is his nature to have physical
health. Crime is to the moral realm
what disease is to the body.
We get better understanding of life |
BY seeing good and evil in the right
perspective. 1t is more pleasant and
more Strengthening and ele-
,ating. to think good than to think evil.

Rare Specimens of Lava from the Ha.
waiian Islands.

|
A collection of lava and associated
rocks from Hawaii, is the latest acces
sion to The Fairbanks Museum. 1t was
secured by Prof George Il. Perkins,
state geologist, during the past summer
and contains some very rare and unusual
forms. The lava stalactites and stalag.
mites are hard to get and Prof. Perkins
says that he has never seen such fine
specimens as these. He writes:
was so fortunate as to get into the
favor of guide at the Volcano House
and one day he took me alone off to a
lava cave into which he said few, il any,
had ever been, as he had only very re.
Gently found it. 1t was evidently un-
touched and there we got the stalactites
and some other things. The kilauea.iki
lavas are not often brought out. To get
them | had to climb down an almost
vertical cliff eight hundred feet into the
crater and bring up the lava in sack
and then carry it on my back through
the woods for several m lies. found col.

is doubtful if could duplicate these spec

there three times, once staying a year.
said that in some forms OF lava. | had
better specimens than he had been able
to obtain at any time. feel quite proud
OF my success in getting the sulpher speci.
mems here in such good condition. When
l packed them they were wet, as they
were when taken. l could not get the m
dry, and they were so soft that a grasp
OF ones hand would crush them, but they
are here in good order. Perhaps a word
as to locality may be useful. Kilauea
IS the whole OF the active crater on
Hawaii. The Caldera is the old and
larger crater in which the active crater.
Halemaumau, is located. Kilauea.iki is
an extinct crater east of the great crater
or caldera, as Dutton calls it, Devils |
Kitchen" is a somewhat active area near
Halemaumau, the active crater at Kill |
auea. The walls containing shells are
from Diamond Head where they are i'm.
bedded in breccia of tuff and lime car
Donate near the bottom OF the outside of
the crater.
Prot. Perkins description of the layas |
and his experience in collecting them is |
extremely modest and hardly does
justice to either subject. The specimens
form remarkable collection, one nm.
excited by any save in the larpest
museums in the country. The variation
OF the pieces in color, weight and struc
ture will be a surprise to persons who
have not visited a volcanic district. 1t
is conceded by biologists that Hawaii
offers very fine collecting ground for
lava and associated rocks, one hardly to
be ,equalled in any other part of the
globe. VIZ
For the present this cole ction will he

balcony in the Fairbanks Museum where
1t is arranged in two cases. Visitors who
are interested in this subject and wish to
