of the god of the woods.
An infant was brought to the church
for christening. and the name proposed
for it was Vanus. "Yanus" repeated
the dean. I suppose you mean We
nus. Do you imagine | am going to
call Christian child by that name.
and least of all male child?"
The father of the infant urged that
he only wished to name 1t after his
grandfather. Your grandfather cried
the dean. II don't believe 1t. Where
is your grandfather" He was pro-
duced-a poor old soul Of eighty or so,
bent double and certainly not looking
in the least like the goddess in ques-
ton. do you mean to tell me, sir,
that any clergyman ever christened
you 'Vanus.' as you call it?"
"Well no, sir. was christened Syl-
vanus, but they always calls me va
nus"

It's only a mighty big man that
doesn't care whether the people whom
he meets believe that he's big, but the
smaller fellow Is the bigger he wants
to appear. He hasn't anything Of his
own in his head that's of any special
Importance, so just to prove that he's
trusted employee and in the confidence
of the boss he gives away everything
he knows about the business, and, as
that isn't much, he lies little to swell
it up. It's mighty curious thing how
some men will lie little to impress
people who are laughing at them, will
drink little In order to sit around
with people who want to get away
from them and will even steal little
to "go into society" with people who
sneer at them.
The most important animal in the
world is a turkeycock. You let him
get among the chickens on the manure
pile behind the barn. with his wings
held down stiff, his tail feathers stuck
up starchy, his wishbone poked out
perky and gobbling for room to show
his fancy steps, and he's a mighty i'm
pressive fowl But small boy with
a rock and a good aim can make him
run a mile. When you see fellow
swelling up and telling his firms Sc
crets, boiler CASH" and you'll STAN
pede him back to his hall bedroom

Health is like any inheritance; you
can spend the interest in work and
play, but you mustn't break into the
principal. Once you do and it's only a
matter Of time before you've got to
place the remnants In the hands Of a
doctor as receiver, and receivers are
mighty partial to fees and mighty
slow to let go. But If you don't work
with him to get the business back on
a sound basis there's no such thing as
any further voluntary proceedings,
and the remnants become remains.
It's mighty simple thing, though,
to keep in good condition, because
about everything that makes for poor
health has to get into you right under
your nose. Yet a fellow IL load up
with pie and buckwheats for break
fast and go around wondering about
his stomach ache as If it were put
up job that had been played on him
when he wasn't looking; or he'll go
through his dinner picking each
course in different brand of alcohol
and sob out on the buffers shoulder
that the booze isn't as pure as it used
to be when he was boy; or he'll come
home at midnight singing 1.-THE Old
Oaken Bucket" and act generally as
If all the water in the world were in
the well on the old homestead and the
mortgage on that had been foreclosed;
or from s p. m. to G. X. he'll sit in
small game with large cigar, breath
ing blend of light blue cigarette
smoke and dark blue cuss words, and
next day, when his heart beats four
and skips two and he has that queer
hopping sensation in the knees, he'll
complain bitterly to the other clerks
that this combining Office work is XIII
ing him.
Knight add that don't like the effects
Of drinking any more than the after
effects, and for this reason you should
never hire men who drink during bust
ness hours. When a fellow adds up on
whisky he's apt to see too many fig-
ures, and when he subtracts ON beer
he's apt to see too few.
OF course, with all the care In the
world, a fellows likely to catch things,
but there's no sense in sending out in
vitations to lot Of miscellaneous mi
crobes and pretending when they call
that it's surprise party Bad health
hates man who is friendly with its
enemies-hard work, plain food and
pure air. More men die from worry
than from overwork; more stuff them
selves to death than die Of starvation:
more break their necks falling down
the cellar stairs than climbing noun
tains. If the human animal reposed
less confidence in his stomach and
more In his legs the streets would be
full Of healthy men walking down to
business. Remember that man al
ways rides to his grave; he never
walks there.

Use of Cold Frames.

purpose. BY May Is to 20 one will

Be careful not to bind plant so as to
obstruct circulation. This latter plan
is neat, attractive. makes finer fruit, Is
less subject to rot, but involves more

been some back pressure upon the land
from the cities, and in this reversion of
the tide of population from country to
city the old farm lands have not been

Improbable. In some regions the old
