Once a farmer had 1900 bushels of
wheat, which he sold not to a single
grain merchant, but TO 1900 different
dealers, a bushel each. a few of them
paid him in cash, but far the greater
number said it was not convenient
then; they would pay later. A few
months passed and The mans bank
account ran low. How is thIsT' he
said. MY 1.SoO bushels of grain should

Instead of getting angry, Clarkson
was rather amused at the actions Of
his pet waiter. For two years he had
dined at the same restaurant almost
daily and August knew his every wish
and had always been literally tipped.
That day, however, Clarkson was
shamefully neglected. He had to ask
for butter, his napkin was damp and
soggy, the particular sauce he liked so
well was not on the table, and, In fact,
August was the antithesis Of a devoted
servitor. All his attentions seemed
in gtable. August lowered around him
like a bee around a flower, anticipating
every wish and bringing him sundry
little extras.
The customers was evidently n stran-
ger. Clarkson could not recall having
seen him before, and from his long pat
ronage Of the place he had come to
know all the regular customers by
their faces at least. His curiosity got
the better Of him and as he was leav-
Ing, after bestowing the customary tip,
he asked
"Why is 1t, August that you have
been so attentive to that man and SO
neglectful OF me? Is he In the habit
Of giving extra large tips?"
ooh, no, m'sieu'," said August. "IIe
Is a stranger. He has never been here
before" Then he added, apologetical-
ly, "And l am sure Of you, m'sieu'."

A great deal Of harm Is done by self
drugging for the relief Of various real
or imaglnery Ills.
There Is nothing easier. The only OBJ
lection to the plan Is that what Is good
fer the cough may be bad for the
cougher.
So 1t Is with a headache. Almost any
pain In the head not due to actual
brain disease may be moderated If not
relieved temporarily, by some form Of
headache POWDER; but frequent re-
course to this means Of cure may IA
tally weaken the heart. When this
stops beating the headaches cease to
trouble, but the patient Is not In con-
dltlon to know or care
Every man, Of course, believes him
self doctor, and often thinks he Is
better able to attack cough or case
OF rheumatism or a headache. whether
1t be his own or anothers, than those
who make the cure Of disease a special
study. All he has to do is to make up
his mind what the trouble is-and any
one can tell cough when he has it
and then to take something that Is
good for a cough"
Less serious, but not much so, Is the
abuse of tonics. A true tonic Is any
thing that promotes the nutrition Of the
body. This may be done by increas-
ins the appetite and improving diges-
ton, which Is the function Of the BIT
ter tonics or by improving the condi-
tlon Of the blood by adding to it the
llor 1t has lost; or by supplying the
system with some needed substance,
such as fat in cod liver oil; or finally
by stimulating the tissues to increased
absorption, an action which Is ascribed
to arsenic, mercury and others Of the
mineral tonics.
But these are not the ''tonics" to
which people are apt to resort when
they run down. They take to stimu-
lants, alcohol usually, and think they
are getting strong because they feel
better after each dose. The alcohol
In the tonic" is often disguised, and
the user, perhaps a conscientious tee
totaler, would be shocked to learn that
what he was taking to give him
strength had more alcohol in 1t than
has the strongest whisky. If the system
IS seriously run down, physician
should be consulted, who will be able
to give what Is needed, whether iron,
or !ark, or gentlan. or cod liver oil,
to correct the underlying condition that
causes the debility.-Youth's Compan-

Christian Contentment.

Poverty is largely a matter of fancy.
The real poverty Is in the mind-in
the minds attitude. There Is such
thing as being rich without money.
That man Is rich who Is rich in integ
rity, and who has that best of all
blessings, a contented mind-Christian
contentment. This last great boon Is
gained through making the most of our
little enjoyments, through making the
least Of our little lacks, through doing
our best at our little duties-through
trusting in God and doing the right.
To be sure, we cannot all be money
rich. Some money-rich people are very
poor. But we can all be millionaires
Of character and Of faith, possessing
that godliness which, with contentment,
is a great gain, the real gain, the high
est riches.-G. B. f. Hallock, d. d.

life u DisCipltne.

Sooner or later we find out that life
Is not holiday, but discipline. Ear
lier or later we will discover that the
world is not playground. 1t Is qIite
clear that God means it for school.
The moment we forget that, the puzzle
OF life begins. We try to play in school.
The Master does not mind that so much
for its own sake, for He likes to see
His children happy; but In our play
ing we neglect our lessons. We do not
see how much there Is to learn, and we
do not care. But our Master cares. He

Christ Is the only teacher Of real
PRAYER. He teaches by example and
precept. He prayed trustingly. con-

Father. He teaches us to pray as He
did. Solitude, isolation and retirement
are essential to prayer. Get away from
the world somewhere, alone. Our
households must be so arranged as to
hermit quiet time alone each day,
without interruption or observation. In
prayer there must be absolute concen-
tration of the mind. Read the Bible
prayerfully. Here God talks to His
children. Let the thought of earthly

become habitual. Practice the pres

In our whole life-melody the music
Is broken off here and there by rests y
and we foolshly think we have come
to the end of the tune. God sends a
time Of forced leisure, time Of sick

a sudden pause in the choral hymn Of
our lives, and we lament that our
voices must be silent and our part miss
ing in the music which ever goes up to
the ear of the Creator. Not
without design does God write the
music Of our lives. Be it ours to learn
the tune and not be dismayed at the
rests If we look up, God will beat

We are apt to forget, writes Miss
Kate SanbOrn, in her new book. "Old-
Time Wall Papers" how much we owe
to the Chinese nation--the mariners
compass, gunpowder, paper, printing by
movable types Ga daily paper has been
published in Peking for 1,2O0 years
we call the golden rule 500 years before
Christ was born. With six times the
population of the United States they
are the only people In the world who
have maintained government for
1900 years.
The earliest papers we hear of any
where were imported from China and
had Chinese or Indian patterns, COM
ing first in small sheets, then in rolls
Some of the more elaborate kinds were
printed by hand; others were printed
blocks. These papers, used for walls,
for hangings and for screens, were
called "pagoda papers" and were dec
Grated with flowers, symbolic animals
and human figures.
The Dutch were among the most en-
terprising, importing painted hangings
from China and the East about the
middle Of the sixteenth century. Per-
haps these originated In Persia; the
word "chintz" is Of Persian origin
and the French name for Its limitations
was "PerseS"
About 1745 the Vompagnie des Indies
began to import these papers directly.
They were then also called Indian
papers" Aug. 21, 1874, we find an
advertisement: For sale-2O sheets of
India paper, representing the cultiva-
ton of tea"
Such a paper, with this theme was
brought to America $50 years ago-a
hand-painted Chinese wall paper which
has been on a house ever since and Ia
to-day in a good state of preservation.
