little THINGS OF LIFE.
Quarrelsome Individual Asserts Man
Has Much to Learn.

tits queer how little most people
know about little things" said quar-
relsome man not long since Some
day am going to start school where
only the minutiae Of life will be
taught-hOw to button the coat when
you put it on, how to brush hat, and
so on. Not one in a hundred persons
knows it is a mistake to button the
bottom of a coat first. The top but
ton should be the first one, otherwise
the shape of the coat, even if it is
carefully tailored, is seriously affect
ed. This little pointer alone would
save many persons 9 lot of money.
A hat should always be brushed in
the direction opposite to the hands Of
q clock Otherwise the pile of the felt
is taken out and the hat given 3
cheap, poor appearance. OF course
with straw this does not apply. In
the care of paste, too, it is odd how
little is known by most people. The
best way to buy paste nowadays is in
the water-well jars put up by all large
manufacturers. Then when such a jar
is gotten keep the well always half
full Of water II paste becomes hard,
too, from lack Of use stir it with a
stick until it has proper consistency.
If obdurate add little water. If still
obdurate after this add little glyc-
erin and water. This will put it III
good condition. Altogether, if people
only knew more about the little things
Of life and less Of the pretentious and
immaterial ones, it would be a far
happier place to live in-this world
we have down here"

Drivind Into Nets.

In the old days every southern gen.
tleman had his net for quail. The
drive was an event in the county. Our
youth of to-day may never enjoy such
sport. In the proper season the neigh
bors were invited All came on horse
back, for while quail will rise from
the approach of a dog or man, they
will run along the ground ahead of q
gentle horse Much skill was required
to drive a covey into the net AS many
as 80 horsemen would form a semi
circle and slowly, patiently, silently
make the roundup, all driving toward
the common center, yet from one sen
eral direction only, and that always
against the wind The net had been
set facing the wind. An impatient
man on a fractions horse might des-
troy the work of half day by flush
ing entire coyeys.

In Sitka, Alaska, is one of the most
ancient and historic churches in the
dominion of the United States. 1t
was built many years ago when Rus
STA ruled there, and the site of a
Grecian spire overshadowing the SIM
pie shrine in the wilderness was dear
to homesick Russian hearts. Solid
silver candlesticks, six feet high,
guard the altar and a massive chande-
lier of rich silver hangs from the
dome. On the walls hang paintings
from masters of the old world, the
altar vestments are encrusted with
priceless jewels, and the robes of the
priests, displayed to interested tour
lists, are richly embroidered In
precious stones. The church has no
pews, the worshippers standing in
groups about the church while the
two hours service is in progress.

CURE FOR MORBID WOMEN.
Work and Laughter Will Exercise De-
mon of Discomfort.

When people have real trouble to
contend with they do not sit down
and analyze their emotions and re-
member whether this person or that
person looked to the right or to the
left when they spoke to them, and ex-
actly what the tones of their voice
and the elevation of their eyebrows
meant, as the morbid woman does.
Morbidness should be accounted a
wicked demon that can be driven out.
Healthy companiOnship, laughter, long
walks in the sunshine and plenty of
work will exercise the wicked little
imp Discomfort and make it's victim
the happy, healthful, hopeful woman
she should be. Form resolve not to
be constantly thinking of self, and
you will be surprised to discover how
much less complicated is your outlook
upon MISUNDERSTANDING.

A REWARD OF FAITH.
Conclusion Drawn from the Destruc.
ton of an Ohio Church.

A congregation in billy district in
Ohio bought small tract of land and
erected a church building upon it,
says the Youths Companion. Ther
the question of insurance came up.
Mr.. Sipes, the wealthiest member,
who had contributed more than half
the money needed for the new struc-
ture, declared that he did not believe
IN insurance. This is the Lords
building. He'll take care of it, he
said. His view prevailed and there
was no insurance In a few weeks
the building was struck by lightning
and almost totally consumed by fire.
Another one was erected, Mr.. Sipes
contributing the greater portion Of
the fund as before. This time the de
mand was almost unanimous that it
be insured, but Mr.. Sipes again OBJ
Jected on the same ground IF it
burns down again, brethren" he said
I'll agree to rebuild it myself" Again
ne carried his point. In less than q
month the new church was struck by
lightning again, and although Strenu-
Gus efforts were made to save it, the
loss was almost total. There must
be some reason for this, brethren,
said Brother Sipes 81 am going to
find out what it is" Thereupon he
employed a force of men to sink a
shaft on the site of the twice des-
troyed church Within a few days a
rich vein of iron ore was found and
the church property was sold for
many times the amount needed to buy
land in another locality and build
again. Il tell you, brethren" said
Brother Sipes, 1T pays to trust the
Lord. He's a great deal better bust
ness manager than anybody in this
congregation"

PUSHING A GOOD THING"
Almost Too Much Eagerness for Re-
ward of Virtue.

The general manager of a traction
system of a western city recently re-
ceived the following communication.
together with a five-cent piece: 81
beg to advise you that a week or two
ago | rode home on car No. 1899, of
your Main street line. The car was
very crowded, and the conductor,
through no fault of his own, failed to
reach me. When / left the car he was
too far to the front to enable me to
get to him. l, therefore, now remit
you the amount of my fare, and beg to
say that I would have done so sooner
had it not been that I was out Of
town" This unusual occurrence was
reported by the general manager to
the roads board of'directors, with the
result that, by their instruction, an
annual pass was sent to the honest
patron, together with letter couched
in complimentary terms. The recip-
tent must have recounted his expert
ence to his neighbors, for in little
while the manager received a letter
from another patron, reading: in
view of the fact that yesterday neg
lected to pay my fare on your line, l
herewith inclose a five-cent piece.
Kindly forward pass to address be-
low"

LAW ABOUT SPCoKS.
Illegal to Shoot Them in England
Other Court Rulings.

Lawsuits about alleged ghosts, OF
nature similar to the one which was
threshed out the other day before
Mr.. Justice Grantham, are far from
uncommon.
Indeed, there is quite little library
of books relating to the subject, all or
them full of musty, fusty precedents,
and each and every one of them bound
in that peculiar, UNDERGONE pie-crust
coIGred material known to booksellers
as law CALI
From these books one may learn
many things about ghosts, and the
nrOper way to treat them.
1t is, for instance, illegal to belaoor
q ghost after it has cried out that It
is not a ghost; while a man who goes
gun-hunting after an alleged ghost,
and shoots and kills a human being
who is masquerading in spook attire,
is guilty of murder.
You may not summarily give up
possession Of a house of which you
are tenant, simply because you be-
iieve it to be haunted, nor yet even If
it be currently alleged and reputed to
be haunted.
But, on the other hand, damages
have been recovered against land
lord who let a VIGOROUSLY spook-in-
tested dwelling to a tenant without
first informing him Of it's evil reputa
.tion.
A father has, too, obtained verdict
against a schoolmaster whose school
was haunted by a ghost which fright.
ened his boy into fits, and it has been
held to be Illegal to shut UP prisoner
in a raputedly haunted jail.
Once a woman sought judicial sep
aratiOn from her spouse on the ground
that he was in league with familiar
spirit, which haunted his bedroom by
night and his study by day.
But her petition was refused, the
judge remarking that she had taken
her husband for worse as well as for
better, and that she might as well ask
to be relieved of him because he had
developed a wart on his nose as a
sprite at his elbow. = Pearson S

MONEY IN APRICOT PITS.
Substitute for AImonds-Big Profit in
Them for BaIearic Islands.

A recent increase in the price Of
almonds has caused a new tide OF
economy and much money is being
made in the Balearic islands in the
Mediterranean off the coast of Spain
by the sale of the kernels f'apricots,
says the New York Sun. There is a
huge demand for them in England and
Germany, where they are used as a
substitute for almonds in candy and
in cheap grades of buildings and
pastry.
The fruit is cultivated in the Ba-
learic islands on an enormous scale to
be preserved in various styles. Until
recently the stones, when the pulp
was removed from them, were treated
as refuse Children pick out the
kernels and they are dried and
packed for shipment after the regular
preserving season is over, thus pro
longing the wage-earning period of
the people.
Last year Majorca alone produced
$4,000 Sases of apricot kernels, weigh
ing about 200 pounds each case. There
are both bitter and sweet kernels. The
price of the sweet ones rose from
about SIS case in 1906 to about $27
last yeaF The bitter ones are consid-
erably cheaper.

Why, my husband is the meanest
