A LITTLE NONSENSE.

II was a lite ont of the way
church the tI.r Sunday in May,
Just after the "foot washing had
been observed, which is a custom
followed by that particular religious
sect of people, that the preacher
announced that the congregation
would join in singing hymn No. 20,
'My soul, be on thy guard; ten
thousand foes etc.
Jones, red faced, broad Shout
dered giant, tried to put on lot of
energy and sing tenor, for this was
a special occasion, and he seemed
to be the whole church, since he
was musical director and the only
choir they had, as we'll as janitor
and deacon, In fact, he did every
thing but preach. Jones rose up
and in stentorian tones began to
sing in pitch too high. When he
got to the second line ("Ten thou
sand foes" etc. it was necessary
for his voice to rise beyond his ca
pacity, and he broke down. The
congregation began to litter, and a
brother in the front row said:
"Pears to me like you're leetle
bit too high"
An old gentleman in his shirt
sleeves over in the amen corner
rose up with a judicial air and
drawled out:

THE MORNING WAKING.
Getting Up Exercises That Will Put the
Brain In Order.

Getting Up Exercises That Will Put the
Brain In Order.
The difficulty most people experience
In getting up in the morning can be
easily overcome by simple operation,
according to medical authority. Aft
er the nights long rest the brain is
laden with somewhat impure blood, and
the lymph vessels which remove waste
matter are overfull and sluggish. This
is why we all crave another ten miu-
utes in bed and why most people are
so morose at breakfast. Very slowly
the brain gets rid Of the matters which
interfere with its vigorous action, but
the process can be expedited.
II the finger tips are placed against
the neck Just under the ear and moved
swiftly down to the front of the Shout
der along the course of the jugular
vein, the used up blood is drawn away
and room left for fresh supply. This
should be done twice at each side of
the neck. Then the hands should be
placed on the back of the neck just
under the skull and moved downward
as far as possible. This clears out
the lymph vessels and effectually pro-
vents swollen glands, from which so
many people suffer,
After two brisk rubs of the lymph
vessels return to the jugular veins and
then back to the glands, half a dozen
or eight times, until the operation will
be found far better than a cup Of cof
fee, and whenever the brain is dull
through congestion this massage will
be equally ffective.-Pearson's.

Mr.. Gleason, coming along just

REFLECTED GLORY.
II Is Just as Much Fun and Less Trou-
bic Than Real Glory.

BILE Than Real Glory,
1t is a profound truth that reflected
glory is far better worth having than
real glory, as far as the actual fun of
the thing is concerned. The man who
after much struggling has won through
to fame knows all the drawbacks to 1t
and realizes that the game Is hardly
worth the candle. But the man whose
only claim to glory lies in the fact that
he is an acquaintance Of the famous
man has a splendid time, getting most
of the kudos with none of the dlsad-
yantages. We see a great, good man,
let us say Algernon Ashton, aud we
envy him But we feel that his posi-
ton must have its disadvantages. The
strain Of being universal letter pro-
WIDER to the papers of London must be
enormous. Far better the lot of the
man who merely knows Mr.. Ashton
and can call him Algy Mr. Murphy
the orator, supports this view. ut IL
we'll" he says, sometimes in speaking
to treat great mems names Familiarity.
In bracketing yourself thus with the
great men of the world reminds one or
an eastern saying that there are only
two creatures that can surmount the
pyramids, the eagle and the snail"
We know Of scores Of men who have
acquired regulations through their
friends. 1t is the simplest thing in the
world. The wonder Is that everybody
does not do it, for it needs but little
labor.--IondOn Globe.

THE ISLAND OF FIRE.

Java's Geological Eooentricity the Lake
of Boiling Mud.
The greatest natural wonder in Java,
~ ,ot In, fine entire WUliu, 10 me justly
celebrated Gheko Kamdha Gumko or
"home Of the hot devils" known to the
world as the "island of fire." This geo.
logical eccentricity is really a lake OF
boiling mud, situated at about the CEN
ter Of the plains Of GrobOgana, and Is
called an island because Of the great
emerald sea Of vegetation which sur
rounds it and gives 1t that appearance.
The "island" is about two miles In
circumference and is situated at dis
lance of almost exactly fifty miles
from Solo. Near the center Of this geo.
logical freak immense columns OF soft
hot mud may be seen continually ris-
ing and falling like great timbers
thrust through the boiling substratum
by giant hands and then quickly with
drawn.
Besides the phenomenon Of the boil
ing mud columns, there are scores or
gigantic bubbles of hot slime that fill
up like huge balloons and keep up a
series of constant explosions, the IN"
tensity of the detonations varying with
the size of the bubble. In times past,
SO the Javanese authorities say, there
was tall, spire-like columns of baked
mud on the west edge Of the lake,
which constantly belched pure
stream Of cold water, but this has long
been obliterated, and everything is
now a seething mass Of bubbling mud
and slime, a marvel to the visitors who
come from long distances to see 1t.
