The lnsufficiency Of Humor.

fourth theclosiesi ss virtue, s y y: necessary to
the living Of life as faith, hope ard char
ltV, namely, j sense of humor. No one
who has ever lived in the house with on
endowed With this Invaluable quality will
under rate it's powers or dissent fl ON an
opinion which makes it Il matter for
prayer and fasting, if by such means the
gift may be lured from heaven. There
is nothing more healing than innocent
laughter, nothing that helps us more
lightly and blithely over the small rough
neSseS and anGularitieS of a life still 50
distant as the one from the ultimate
calm of perfection. a real sense Of
humor. too. hespnaks two enviable quali-
ties in its possessor, intellect, and fine
thinkers sees life as comedy. Willie the
man of feart sees it as tragedy. The
thinkers is the farther view. for if he
smiles to see man squrming in the iron
wise of fate, IT is because he knows
fate humanity created, and because he
realizes how small 4 part any one form
of suffering is in this tremendous vortex
AS humcr tainted by malice ceases to be
humor, so. too. this gift belongs to the
man of tine manners. his humcr must
distinguish accurately where it can tickle
and where it can only wound. AS Mere
dith. the classic authority On the whole
subject of humor, says. the quality must
have salt ard soul" The salt of quick
perception of incongruty is a gift from
heaven as rare and as divine as tho
poetic vision of life, and the soul of
humor is the power of loving and pardon
ing while we mock human weakness. The
value Of humor is tncommensurable.

entire three days did the crowds pc
come so electrified as they did during
the Ladies' RELAY Race. 1t was for
two miles, and the most exciting con-
test of the show In this number the
girls had to change cow-ponies eacii
half mile, unsaddle the old and saddle
the new mounts. before starting the
ensuing relay. Miss Dierdon won pv
100 yards on the first lap. but Miss
Pawson. who finished third, was the
first one to get going again and TO
finish that relay On the start of the
third, her pony bucked her off, but she
was up and on him when Miss Dierd0n
started and was similarly dismounted
Miss Pawson opened up 10 yards on
the last lap, but her mount was not the
equal of her rivals, still running sec
ond. so she saved him, and wisely, FOR
the home stretch, where by excellent
iockeying she won by n head. 1t was
all very wonderful, seeing these three
girls riding hard running and often
pitching horses for two miles, unsad-

81 Years. Work; No Pay.

Lyman Andrews of SouthingtOn,
Conn. is probably the only employe Of
Uncle Sam who has worked for him
consecutively for 81 years without Il
cent of pay. says the New York Sun.
And in all that tire he has been off
his job only twice
Mr.. Andrews is the weather observer
for the Government here. He began
keeping records of the weather in 1860
for his own account. Later he offered
to send his observations to the Smith
sonian Institute ut Washington. which
was glad to get them.
When the Weather Bureau was cStab-
ished in connection with the War De-
partment, Mr.. Andrews fell in with the
scheme naturally and was instructed to
forward mis- weather reports to Boston.
He has continued to supply them ever
since. In 1908 the Government asked
him for his weather reports for every
month from, April 1871, to December,
1904, ana also the precipitation that had
been noted. With the aid of his figures
a chart was constructed showing the
average of temperature, rain and other
conditions for this part of the country.
The Governments first plans Tor
weather observation here included the
taking of observations three times a
day, at Il. m. , and p. M. AS soon
as the weather reports came under the
supervision of the Department of Agri-
culture Mr.. Andrews received from the
Government a maximum and minimum
thermometer, from which he takes one
record a day.
Once during these 81 years Mr. and
Mrs Andrews took a vacation, going to
the seashore for three days. In his alb
sence 4 neighbor kept the records. This
was the only time that the recording
, was intrusted to any one outside the
family. For 10 months Mrs. Andrews
took the records at I a. m. because her
husband was obliged to be in New
Britain at that hour.
| Mr. AndreWs's activity is not con-
, fired TO lneteorology. Recently he pre-
sented to the Springfield Museum OF
/ Science Il collection of 10000 minerals
gathered by him. He was anxious tC
| present the collection to his native
town, but Southington refused to con-
tribute the cases in which to house it
and it went to Springfield
| For the last few years Mr.. and Mrs
| Andrews have been collecting botanical
specimens and have at present about
| 80. 900 in the house, 5000 of which arC
mounted. A large proportion of these
have accompanying them watercolol

NEW WORLDS RECORD.
The Mauritania Makes 624 Knots in
An Even "a Hours.

Halifax, N. S., Nov. 21.-The latest
Cunard greyhound Mauretania has es
tablished a new worlds record days
run Of G24 knots, which is six knots
better than the big days run of 61S re-

speed which contributed to this
phenomenal performance was % 5-6

Russia's Iron Trade.

Consul Il. T.. Heenan of Odessa fur
nishes an excerpt from st. Peters
burg newspaper on the possibility of
exporting iron-smelting products from
Russia. as follows:
TIE present critical condition of the
iron-smelting industry. as i'm the years
1908 and 1901, again brings to the front
the question of the possibility of cX
porting that product. At present the
factories are not working up to their
producing capacity In 1905 they had
reduced their output by ST.: per cent.
against 1904. and the present reduction
of l. per cent. appears likely to be still
further increased. 1t is clear that the
home market cannot find room for the
full rate of production. The present
glut in the market is to great extent
due to the disturbed condition of the
country. which makes it unable to
utilize the product, and when order
and stability are retored then this will
change. Meantime there seems only
the foreign market as an alternative to
a greater reduction. The active demand
in England, Germany and America for
| their own production should make it
possible for Russia to secure a market
outside her limits. Thus Germany
/ largely increased her own output (part-
ly made from Russian ore, and yet had
| to increase her imports from England
to $4,000 short tons, and still the COM
| bine Stahlverband has orders for Is
months ahead and often declines orders
as unprofitahle. The situation is the
same in England and America. On
| June 80 the American Steel Corporation
| had 100000 to 100000 tons of unful-
| filled orders, an excess of 100000 tons
| more than year ago
In 1906 an English firm asked the
Cral factories if they could produce
| American sheet iron, which is similar
to the Cral shining iron. and cannot
be more difficult to produce OF late it
| has been observed that increasing
quantities of pig iron are sent abroad
from Russia and contracts arc being
| negotiated for the expectation of sheet
iron. Still all this has failed to solve
the problem of relieving the home mar
ket of the superfluOus iron.
In connection with the question of
expectation from Russia of sheet iron
there is first of all the fact that the
| Russian article differs in dimensions
| from the foreign product but that is
not an insuperable difficulty. since any
properly arranged factory can easily
adapt itself to such altered conditions
OF the demand. This applies to the
manufactures of various kinds OF rails

Duck Shooting.

The science of constructing blinds
for duck shooting, while it may be
brought to a great stage of perfection.
is not always an exact science. For
instance. a willow blind. with tall will
low Stumps about, may be a fine place
to shoot pintails from on some cold
days, and then, suddenly, the weather
may turn bright and warm, and the
birds will not decoy there. but will
come in to % grass blind, strung about
a squat ducking boat, built to be as
inccnSpicuous as possible, with the
hunter lying down almost totally con-
cealed from the ducks by the grass
which meets above him as he lies IN
the boat.
Dark days and bright days make q
lot of difference, both as to where to
build a blind and how to build it. On
bright days the birds are more suS-
piciouS apparently, and are less apt to
he travelling about. On dark ana
stormy days they are less alert, ana
more constantly on the move. BINDS
for the greater and lesser scaup ducks.
the big and little bluebills, may be con-
struCted from almost anything. THESE
birds will sometimes come in to where
man is throwing out decoys. ana
they are. together with the ringbills.
the easiest Of all ducks to decOy.
Early in the season an old log may
serve as a blind. and a half-doZen de-
coys will serve to bring the blucbllls
in. Where the birds have been more
or less shot at. and have become
warier. brush blind. with some grass
n
good blind. and a large flock of de-
ccyS will be found advantageous. One
of the very first requisites for the oc-
cupants of duck blind is immova-
| biiity A duck has the sharpest o.
eyes. and peering out, or getting up tf
stretch, is not only the sign Of the
| ''tenderfoot," but is certain to be the
cause of losing shots.-RecreatiOn.

Packino Awav Vitality,

If people realized how precious phySl-
cal and mental vitality are, they
would not squander them by foolish
ness any more readily than they would
tap their veins and Squander their life
blood
To accomplish great things we must
have a strong. vigorous life force, a
powerful vitality. If we do not have
these, everything we do will bear the
stdI. of weakness 1t will crop out in
every act. 1t is the strong vitality
that tells in the great struggle of life.
II is the reserve power that enables
the runner to keep going when others
fall exhausted by the way.
1t is a great art to learn to accumu-
late and conserve vitality, to store it
away for future emergencies. 1t is
success capital. You may succeed
without money, but you cannot sue
ceed without physical and mental capi-
tai. it is the strong vitality that wins.
The rluS force. the physical and men,
tai energies themselves are the things
that enable one to surmount difficulties
and ride triumphantly over obstacles.
1t is a very shortsighted policy to try
to crowd the brain beyond it's normal
capacity. to force a tired mind to do
| good work. to force it to think when it
needs rest or recreation.
Many people work so much that they
do not store any reserve power They
use up all the power they generate, as
they go along. All creative work, es-
pecially, requires a fresh brain, vigor-
Gus. SPONTANEOUS thought.
l have noticed that people who think
, they must work every minute, who arc
! always doing some thing. do not ac-
| complish nearly as much. nor produce
work Of as good a quality, as those

it keeps the mind and body in splendid
