Anecdote of PericleS.

Democracy was a new thlng TO the
Athenians, and they became so dread
fully swelled over it that Pericles was
at his wits end what to do with
them.
IF it were not for the plain people
politics would be easy" he was often
heard to complain.
Finally, in his desperation, he con
suited the Delphic oracle.
Give the plain people plenty OF
rope" was the yelled answer of the
pythoness, land leave the rest to the
gods"
Pericles was sorely puzzled. But on
his way back to Athens, he purchased
a cigar of the boy on the train, and il
was a Connecticut cigar.
81 wonder if this can be the rope the
oracle meant?" he suddenly exclaimed
after he had smoked awhile.
It could be, and was. To make a
long story short, great political Sc
cret had come to light, and from that
time forth Pericles had pretty much
his own way in everything.

EVILS OF MODERN LIFE.
Harm Done by Hurry ard Worry of
Our Modern Civilization.

Not long ago, while travelling.
CHANGED to stop at a village on the
river Rhine, where ! found an aston
ishing number of old people. There
were a dozen over one hundred years
age and many from so years old up
10 the century mark; yet straight and
vigorous. One woman nearly a hun
bred years old was earning her living
by picking hops; her grandchildren
were middle-aged. 1t was quite Won
derful But there was no mystery
about It; it was merely the effect of
simple life spent largely in the fields,
with plain diet, consisting of a few
vegetables and fruits, little meat, and
native beer and wine for beverages.
Nothing can be more obvious than
that the very completely of our mod
ern civilization is shortening our lives.
But of all the evils that atliiCt us the
worst and most destructive are hurry
and worry. Hurry drives the body
machine beyond its capacity, while
worry racks it inwardly. OF the two
worry is probably the worse. This
might, indeed, be called the age of
worry. Because of the intense nerv-
Gus strain to which we are subjected,
we do vastly more worrying than did
ols forebears. The average man of
today is continually surrounded and
pursued by phantom troubles, which,
though few of them ever materialize
into realities, haunt him continually,
running his peace of mind and injur-
ing his health.-Dr, John v Shoe
maker in the Reader.

Uncomfortable Shaving,

The traveller. who had just returned
from abroad, sank back into his ac-
customed BARRIERS chair with sigh of
relief This IS the first time I've had
the prospect Of a comfortable shave
for three months" he remarked.

things abroad. he continued, but the
BARRIERS over on the other side still
stick to those uncomfortable chairs Of
theirs in the most absurd way

the same time, why they never used

for the reason that they are made in
