TO THE CHEERFUL MAN.
Ills Praises Sung in Cheerful Tone by
Cheerful Mr.. knozzleton.

81 like the cheerful man." said Mr..
Knozzlet m, "the man who refuses to
be cast down, but takes always a
cheerful view.
"'D'you ever see such weather as
this? says the dismal man, YEARLY,
shedding more sultriness all around.
Did you feel that breeze? says
the cheerful man, smiling, and as a
matter of fact there was the faintest
flicker of movement in the air just
at that moment, and he caught 1t,
because he is receptive to all good
things; and he magnified it to all his
hearers by his breezy cheerfulness.
The cheerful man for me every
time-he makes life worth living;
and | like especially to see him
around in hot and humid weather.
But he's helpful at all times.
so many people are so easily de-
pressed; good people. but with only a
narrow margin of courage; so that II
any little thing goes wrong they
think that everything's going to
pieces and the world is coming to an
end. but then
POOH. says the cheerful man,
what's that? and he actually laughs
at this little picayune trouble, and
JUS brushes it away and forgets it,
making the faint hearted to laugh
and forget it, too; and in time he
may bring the easily discouraged
man TO acquire the blessed habit of
laughing at all the petty troubles
that pop out at us on the road OF
life, and so driving them away, in
stead of gloomily letting them climb
on him to ride on his back. Good
man to have around is the cheerful
man.
u haven't caught fish to-day,
says the disappointed man in the
| fishing party, and you'd think from
his general castdownness that catch
and that if you didn't catch any, life
was a failure.
Well, l haven't caught any.
either. says the cheerful man, but
I've had a darned good time and I've
caught an appetite like team of
horses, and what l want now is to
get back to where they cook those
bluefish the way they cook em here
and if | don't eat II of EN- miss my
| guess Does the cheerful man perk
up the whole party? Why, sure; and
when they've got few of those blue
fish inside of them they all think
they've had a great time"

The Germans, who believe in thor
oughness, are about to put in opera
ton in Berlin rule that no man
shall be permitted to drive on the
streets of that city without he has
first demonstrated his fitness to do
so. 1t is doubtful whether the in
novation will result in any very
marked diminution of accidents.
Observation teaches that it is not in
competent drivers who are respon-
sible for the mischief done in big
cities; usually carelessness is at the
bottom of the trouble, and the man
who knows how to drive is more apt
to be negligent when handling the
reins than the fellow who is new at
the business.

NOT MEANT TO BE UNIFORM.
Expert Explains Why Clocks Fail &c
Strike Together.

A man in New York whose business
Is clock winding, which includes also
the regulating and cleaning of the
family timepieces in his charge, ex-
planned the other day why it is hard
to have a number of clocks strike to-
gether
You see," he said, some clocks are
arranged to strike half minute be-
fore the hour, some quarter of a
minute before, others a few seconds
after, and so on. Now if | regulate
them to strike at the same instant
they will not be in agreement in point
of actual time, and that is really a
more important consideration. or
course, if there are great many
clocks in the house it is likely that
several will happen to strike together.
For instance, one house on my route
has 20 clocks that l look after. OF
these, five or six strike in unison and
the others all within minute, except
ing one. l have orders to keep 10
of the clocks at exactly the correct
time, but the little jeweled timepiece
in the bedroom of the mistress of the
house is to be kept always three min
utes fast. l suppose she has some
special reason for that.
mo, don't get rich at my business,
but make a living at it, The house
| just spoke of is an especially profit
able one, of course. having so many
clocks. They pay me 500 year for
my attendance there, which is given
weekly, as it is to all the places /
visit

INDICATING.

1t should be one of the duties of
the state press to expose illegitimate
attempts on the part of an individual
or a corporation to float worthless
mining stock. The Eastern papers
are filled with well-worded adyer-
tisements of Fine Opportunities for
Investment, but anyone who puts
his money into such without thor
oughly investigating their reliability,
might just as well charge it up to
profit and loss first as last, with
notation that "a fool and his money
are soon parted"
The Southern camps have merit
enough to make them prosperous
without any assistance from the wild
cater. A wild cat can do more dam
age in band of sheep in fifteen min
utes than scab can do in a year. and
a few wildcat mining concerns can
do the state more harm in six months
than can be overcome in decade.

The probable escape of the party
reported lost from the steamer Ouch

York indicate that somewhere in

Science mud Morality.

The true student of the professional
or technical school becomes heir to a
comprehensive and clear understand
ing of his duties and responsibilities in
his rela lions to his fellow men and TO
the community. Those duties and re
sponsibiities present themselves to his
trained mind in their real proportion.
He is neither nondeveloped nor malde-
veloped in his judgment of affairs. His
university training, especially in the
technical school. has taught him accu.
racy and penetration in the analysis of
any proposition confronting him and
that truth and knowledge must be

fusion to the shifty, devious and dis
honest inquirer. The fundamentals of
morality are the very stepping stones

A SENSE OF DIRECTION.
The Prime Requisite For Making n
True WOOdsman.


A sense of direction | should name
as the prime requisite for him who
would become a true woodsman, de-
pending on himself rather than on
guides. The faculty is largely devel-
oped of course by much practice, but
it must be Unborn. Some men possess
it: others do not - just as some men
have mathematical bent. while to
others figures are always despair. 1t
is sort of extra. having nothing to
do with criterions of intelligence or
mental development. like the repeater
movement in watch. A highly edu-
Gated. cultured man may lack 1t; the
toughest possess it. Some who have
never been in the woods or mountains
acquire In the space of vacation a
fair facility at picking way, and !
have met few who have spent their
lives on the prospect trail and who
were still and always would be as
helpless as the newest city dweller.
1t is a gift. talent. If you have its
tiniest germ you can become trav-
eler of the wide and lonely places.
If you have it not you may as well
resign yourself to guides. Stewart Ed.

A SOURCE OF DISEASE.
Beware the Man Who Blows smoke
Through His Nostrils.

A popular practice of many smokers
consists in discharging the smoke in
hailed. especially from cigarettes,
through the nostrils. This is even
considered by some TO be essential to
the full enjoyment of the flavor of the
tobacco.
The London Lancet. While acknowl-
edging that perhaps under ordinary
circumstances no harm is done to the
smoker save TO his sense of smell, has
sounded n note of warning against the
habit as Il possible dissemination of dis
ease. Hay fever and other annoying
complaints have been spread through
unsuspectlng households by the I'M
thinking visitor who habitually blew
smoke through his nose.
The surface traversed by the tobacco
smoke before issuing from the nose. 1t
is remarked by the Lancet, Is mois-
tened with the natural secretion Of the
mucous membrane lining it, and this
secretion is mingled with the fluid dis
charged from the conjunctival sac pro-
tecting the eyes. 1t therefore contains
numerous micro organisms. which.
floating in the air. have become attach
ed TO the moist and stick surface Of
the conjunctiva. as well as those which
pass over the surface of the nasal
membrane. AS Tyndall long ago show
ed. germs are completely filtered off
from the air inhaled by the extensive
and irregular surfaces presented by
the turbinal bones. These germs are
carried into the air by the man who
blows smoke through his noStrils.

A small proportion of the fora is in
digenous. The majority came from
the east. like all the great ideas on
which our culture is founded, and were
developed and improved on this classic
soil. Italy received the lemon and
the orange from the Semites. who in
their turn had obtained them from
India. The olive. the fig. the vine and
the palm were grown by the Semites
long before their cultivation penetrat-
ed to the west. The laurel and myr-
tie. indeed. are indigenous in Italy. but
their use for ceremonial purposes came
across the Mediterranean from the
east. The home OF the cypress Is not

The Saddle.

Early Greeks and Romans rode
horses bareback. They regarded it as
effeminate to ride in saddle. The
modern saddle. with pommel. crupper
and stirrups. was unknown to the an
clients. Nero gave out fancy coverings
to his cavalry. and the bareback riders
of the German forests used to laugh at
them. Saddles with trees came into
use in the fourth century, stirrups
three centuries later.
