CULTIVATE GRAcEFuLNEss

The chief distinction in society
between the Attentions" of the
thoroughly graceful gentleman,
and the one who simply knows
the rules, is that the former pays
them without attracting notice. A
lady hardly realizes that anything
is done for her--she only knows
that the gentleman Is agreeable.
Does the young man ask how he
shall cultivate this unconscious
gracefulness? Some men, the read
er says, have the gift by nature.
True-but with rare exceptions,
nature declines to make her gift
available without cultivation and
care. There 10 but one way to
cultivate the eass Of which We

VALUE OF SELF-RELIANcE.
Better Than easy Money" Says
Charles G. Dawes.

This is a hard world in business. It
always has been, and always will be.
There are many good and generous
men in it. There are many who will
lend a helping hand to you in your
adversely, but in the time of need you
will not find them among the men who
tried to get you to embark in ~specula-
ton with your little surplus and to
sell you something which would help
you to easy money"
Be. se%lf-reliant. Make your own in
~vestigation in Investments. When you
cannot, put your money in a good saw
ings bank. Distrust the financial DEM
asogue as you distrust the political
demagogue. Keep you hand on your
pocketbook as you travel through life
first, to give always in proportion to
your means to those who are poorer
second, to hold from those who would
lake through force or fraud what you
need for yourself and yours. You will

day Evening Post. have your hand
where most of the other fellows have
only their eyes. In this alone you will
have the advantage Of them.

grow. Teach your children, then
to love the beautiful. Give them
a corner in the garden for flowers;
encourage them to put it in the
shape of hanging baskets; show
them where they can best view the
sunset; rouse them in the morning
not with the stern ''time TO go to
work" but with enthusiastic ''come
and see the beautiful SUNRISE"
Buy for them pretty pictures and
encourage them to decorate their
rooms in his or her childish way.
Give them an inch and they will
go a mile. Allow them the privi-
lege and they will make your
home beautiful.

Missouri's Honey Production.
Columbia, Mo-, June %, 1!

Columbia, Mo-, June %, 1907.
The Importance of the honey
crop of Missouri is much largerthan
many people know of. According
to the last United States census
only three states, namely: Texas,
California and New York, exceed
Missouri in the total of honey pro-
ducts. Missouri has something like
three-fourths of a million OF dollars
invested in bees and apiary sup
plies and the total annual pro-
duct of honey and wax amount 8
to from one-half million to three
fourths of a million of dollars.
Within the last few years avery
fatal contagious disease has APP
peared in some places in the state,
known as foul brood.
For the protection of the bee
owners, the last Legislature en-
acted a law for the appointment
of a state Bee Inspector, to be
under the control of the State
Board of Agriculture. Mr.. M. E.
Darby, of Springfield Mo-, has
been appointed under that law
and his services may now be Sc
cured by making application to
him, giving evidence that the bees
are infected with foul brood or
any other contagious disease. Mr..
Darby is a successful apiarist and
thoroughly familiar with treating
bees for foul brood and will
promptly answer all calls made on
him for that purpose. AS he is in
the employ of the state, the Board
Of Agriculture provides for his ex-
penses and the bee keepers will
not be called upon for any part of
the expense.

OLD FASHIONED MOTHERS.

Thank God that some of US have

toned mother. MOI a woman

curls and bustle; whose white,
jewelled hands never have felt the
clasp of baby fingers; but a dear
old-fashioned, sweet voiced moth
er, with eyes in which love light
shone, and brown hair threaded
with silver, lying smooth upon her
faded cheek. Those dear hands
worn with toll, gently guided our
tottering steps in childhood, and
smoothed our pillow in sickness;
even reaching out to us in yearn-
ing tenderness, when her sweet
spirit was baptized in the pearly
spray of the river. Blessed is the
memory OF an old.fashioned moth
er. 1t floats to us now, like the
beautiful perfume of some wood
land blossoms. The music of other
voices may be lost but the en-
trancing memory will echo in our
souls forever. Other places will
fade away and be forgotten, but
hers will shine on until the light
from heavens portals shall glory
fly our own.
When in the ftful pauses of
busy life our feet wander back to
the old homestead, and crossing
the well-worn threshold, standing
once more in the low, quaint room,
as hallowed by her presence, how
the feeling of childish innocence
and depedence come rel US and we
kneel down in the molten sunshine

we knelt by our mothers knee,

times when the tempted lured US

.sin. Years have filed great drifts
over, between her and US, but
they have not hidden from our
sight the glory of her pure, un-
selfshish love.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS Do.
Their UnceaSing Work Keeps
Us Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body pas
e through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part
of this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many dis
eases and symptoms-pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot,
dry skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel
disorders of the eyesight and hear
ing, dizziness, irregular heart, de-
bility, drowsiness, dropsy, de-
posits in the urine, etc. But if
You keep the filters right you will

~BUNGALOW."
Word Of Comparative Modern Date 10
Anglo-lndian.

The word is Of comparatively emod.
ern date and is Anglo-Indian. It's
origin a be traced to the adjective
bangla (Hindustani), which literally
means belonging to Bengal" It is
an easy step from this to the AMI
script preserved in the India Office
(England), dated 1876, which has a
reference to "Bungales or Hovells
-" for all English in the company's
service" Any sketch of a native
dwelling in India will show how al
first 1t vas not unnatural to bracket
"bungales" with novels" The word
was in the making, and the building
improved with the word.
In I'LL we find q reference to a
dutch Bungalow" on the shores of
the Hughley. In the eighteenth and
early nineteenth centuries there are
references in Anglo-Indian CORE
spondence to wayside houses which
are spelled "bungula" and "bungalo,"
and In n instance, in 1909, a journal
of residence in India describes the
bungalo as a garden house. The most
striking reference which tallies with
our W view of the building as de-
scribed by the word is contained in a
book dated 1847, which says: 1.-THE
bungalows Of india are for the most
part built of unbaked bricks and COW
cred with thatch, having the center
q hall, the whole being encompassed
by an open veranda." That is prob
ably the shortest and most complete
definition of the broad meaning Of the
word that a be found. OF course
we build bungalows nowadays of
many other materials besides bricks;
but the latter are used, sun dried. in
many quarters Of the globe besides
India. Primarily. a bungalow ii a
building specially suitable for q hot
climate where the broad verandas
make cool, shady places for sitting

THE ELDER SISTER

There is no characterin the home
circle more useful and beautiful
than a devoted elder sister, who
stands side by side with the toll
ing mother, tightening all her cares
and burdens. How beautiful the
household machinery moves on
with such efficient help! Now
she presides at the table in her
mothers absence, always so neat
ly attired that it is with pride
the father introduces her to his
guest as "our oldest daughter
Now she takes a little troop into
the garden with her and amuses
them, so mother may not be dis
turbed in her work or her rest.
Now she helps the boys with their
hard lessons or reads fathers pa
per aloud to rest his tired eyes.
Ii mother can run away for a
few days recreation she leaves
home without any anxiety, for
Mary will guide her house wisely
and happily in her absence. But
in the sickroom her presence is an
especial blessing. Her hand is next
to mothers own in gentleness and
skill. Her sweet music can charm
any pain, and brighten the wear
lest hours. There are elder sisters
whose presence is not such a bless
ing in the home. There own self
ish ends and aims are the pursuits
in life, and anything that stands
in the way of these is regarded
with great impotence. S u n
daughters are no comfort to a
mothers heart. What kind of an
elder sister are you in the house,
hold?

Facts Concerning Herring.

Some facts concerning the her.
ring are contained in the scientific
section of the fishery board for Scot
land. According to a paper by DR..
Wemyss Fulton, certain theories as to
the growth and age Of the fish which
have been accepted for the last quar-
ter. of a century are not we'll found
ed. 1t now appears that the herring
is a fish of slow growth, and is barely
~ inches in length when one year
old. 1t does not reach maturity and
spawn until five years old, and is
then of an average length of 9$
inches. Herrings ver IL inches long,
like the large Loeb Fyne fish, may be
ten years old and MORE, and the large
caught, measuring from IA to Is
inches, are probably over Is years
old, and may be 20. Investigations are
in progress to discover the reason for
the decline in the herring fishery Of
Loeb Fyne in recent years. An inter-
esting method which has been adopt
ed to trace the migrations Of the fish
consists in marking some Of them
while in the seine net with a printed
silk tag and setting them free. Over
500 have been thus marked. but, SO
far, only five have been caught again,
and these were near the place of lib
aration- /,
Yellowstone Park.
The reservation known as the Vel
lowstone National park, set apart for
public uses by an act of congress-
passed In 1872, covers q tract of about
65 miles In length from north to south,
and about IS miles in width from east
to west, lying chiefly in northwestern
Wyoming and overlapping to a small
extent the boundaries ~ Montana on
the north and idaho on the west.
This gives an area Of 1912 square
miles, a tract that Is nearly the area
Of the states of Rhode Island and Del

large ~ the state Of Massachusetts.

SCENES
IN COURT
TAM PONG CONVICTED BUT THE
JURY VERDICT MAY BE Sci
ASIDE.

The jury in the Tam Pong bigamy
case returned verdict of guilty after
being out for only about five minutes.
Sentence will be passed on Monday.
The case went to the jury about II
o'clock after brief argument had been
made by J. j. Dunno for the prOsecu-
ton and an attempt at argument by
Charles Creighton for the defendant.
Creighton offered no evidence what
ever for his client, and his condition
was such throughout the trial that it
is possible that Tam Pong might stand
a good show for a new trial on the
grounds of incompetent defense. Twice
during the course of the case, adjourn
ment was taken for half a day be-
cause of the inability of the attorney
for the defendant to attend to his
business properly This morning at
the opening of court he made motion
to have the case dismissed on the
grounds that rehabilitation mad not
been proven by the prosecution. The
court 'overruled the motion, and
Creighton declared that the ruling was
prejudicial to the jury and that Judge
Dole had number of times before
made rulings tending to prejudice the
jury against his client.
The court was very patient, but
finally after Creighton had refused to
allow the case to go to the jury with
out argument from the prosecution, as
Dunno wished, and then persisted in
interrupting the opposing attorney con-
tinually, he was ordered to keep his
seat.
This is the second time that Tam
Pong has been convicted of bigamy,
the same woman figuring in each in
stance.

AMPHIBIoUS AUTOMOBILE.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Jules RAJ
vuillier, a French inventor, has arriv-
ed here to demonstrate the utility of
an invention he calls a "canot volt
ure" at the Madison Square Garden
automobile exhibition and at Washing
ton.
The machine. which is practically
an automobile for land and water
travel has the appearance of a life
boat on wheels, and can go, it is said,
at a speed of forty miles an hour on
land and nineteen knots on water.
Ravuillier has succeeded in bring
ing his. invention before the French
naval authorities, which resulted in an
order for sixty machines. They will
be placed at different lifesaving sta
tions along the coast of Franch.
The machine is covered like a canoe,
with an opening in the center to con-
tain the operator, and the wheels are
rubber-tired, like a motor car. RAJ
vuilIier says it will ride out the heavy
lest seas, cannot capsize and will take
to the water like duck when launch
ed from the beach.

FIGHT FIRE ON
LINER MONGOLIA
FLAMES START IN ENGINE-ROOM
AND GIVE THE CREW A HARD
BATTLE

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. GA fire,
which at one time threatened to en-
trely demolish the interior fittings OF
the Pacific Mail liner Mongolia and
ruin thousands of dollars worth of
valuable cargo and machinery, broke
out in the engine-room of that vessel
as she was lying at the new Mail DOCK
on Wednesday afternOO.
The fire was first noticed flaming
through the door of the paintroom at
4 o'clock by the Waterman, who had
just gone below, and an alarm was at
once raised. BY the time a supply OF
water was available the flames had
taken a firm hold of the highly in
flammable material in the paintroom
and were spreading throughout the
engine-room.
The whole of the engine-room staff
was Immediately at work subduing the
flames, and they were quickly re-en.
forced by every available man on the
steamer and on the dock.
Strong efforts vert made to keep the
fire from spreading to the valuable
cargo in the hold, and for some time
the flames appeared to have got be.
yond control, and the loss of the bis
steamer and her cargo seemed newt.
able.
By dint of herculian efforts the
flames were at last subdued. but il
was far into the night before they
were entirely quenched.
The Mongolia was lying at the docR
while the fire ragged and only mira.
Gle saved the steamer and the dock
from destruction. 1t is only a few
weeks since the big liner left the Uni
on Iron Works, after being under re.
pairs for many months. These cost
thousands of dollars. Great reticencC
has been maintained regarding the
fire.
The Mongolia is scheduled to leave
the Mail dock at ! o'clock this after
noon for China and Japan, but it il
doubtful whether she will sail on time
The Mongolia did sail on Novembe
