Tnke n Fresh Sfnrf.

AS the horses trot down to the wire
In a long, struggling line race official
bangs a bell and the whole field turns
and goes back to try again. A fresh
start is necessary. But 1t is not only
on the race tracks that fresh starts are
essential to the achievement of results.
There are countless Instances of busi-
ness firms taking fresh starts after
visitations Of misfortune. individuals
without number daily turn their backs
upon discouragements of the past and
take a fresh start. The man who fails
is he who is unwilling to do battle
over again. An individual suffers ever
lasting failure if, when confronted by
obstacles, he refuses to grid up his
loins and take fresh start. Fresh
starts are the foes of sluggishness and
laziness and the guarantee Of a brigh-
ter success than could be possible
without them.-Baltimore Herald.

Her Method of Darning.

"The worst case of a henpecked man
| ever saw" said the travelling man,
"is up in my little native place among
the Berkshire hills. The hen in this
case is a smart woman who runs a
farm and keeps everything shipshapc
except her husband. She is content TO
let him get along in any old fashion,
so long as he does not interfere with
her work One day he asked her apol-
ogetically if she wouldn't darn at least
one pair of his stockings, for every
pair he owned had holes.
"She gave him a crushing glance and
said. IF every pair has holes, wear two
pairs, and the good places in one will
cover the holes in the other And she
made him do it too."-New York Press

In Mexico fans were used long be
fore the conquest, and when Monte
yuma heard that the Spaniards had
landed and were about to visit him he
sent for goldsmiths and lapidaries and
ordered, among other gifts which were
to be offered to Cortes, two feather
fans ornamented with a sun and moon
of highly polished gold. Like the Japa-
nese and other ancient nations, the
Aztecs evidently considered the fan an
emblem of authority, for they general
ly placed it in the hands of Ometeuctli,
god of paradise, and of Totec. the mill
tary disciple of Quetzalcohuatl.

On the eve of leaving London for
Canada Mrs. Brooke, who wrote "The
History OF Emily Montague" the first
novel written in Canada, gave a fare
well party, Hannah More, Johnson and
Boswell being in the company. Dr.
Johnson was obliged to leave early and
apparently departed after wishing his
hostess health and happiness. Shortly
after a servant whispered to Mrs.
Brooke that a gentleman was waiting
below to speak to her. Running down

They have a whistle language on Go

They can whistle. there as articulately
as a Bostonian speaks. And, since they
can whistle very loud and shrill, the
Gomeras can converse a long way off.
A GOmera hunting a mile from home
can ask his wife what there is for
lunch, and, If the menu does not please
him, he can scOld her and order a
change quite as well as though he
stood beside her.
The Gomeras talk In a singsong, and
their whistle language reproduces the
spoken ones intonations. For instance,
children all over America have a taunt-
ing cry:

MAKES FRUITLESS SEARCH
FOR DRIFTING LOG RAFT
DereIict, Unless It Has Broken Up, Is
Dangerous Menace to
NAVIGATION,

PORTLAND, Ore. May 13.-That the
big log raft which broke adrift from the
steamer Frances Fl. Leggett off Crescent
City, California while en- route from AS
toria to San Francisco is still adrift on
the high seas is the opinion of the master
of the Leggett, which has returned to
Astoria after fruitless search for the
raft
Captain Reimer states that when the
raft broke away hurricane was raging
and that he was too busy caring for the
safety of his vessel to pay any attention
to the raft
When the storm abated, he made a
careful search along shore, and found
neither the raft nor any piling that would
indicate that the raft had broken up.
If Captain Reimer is correct, the dere-
lict is dangerous menace to navigation
as it is several hundred feet long and
about fifty feet in diameter and would
bring certain disaster to any craft which
might encounter il.
