ADVICE FROM THE oPTIMIsT.
Cultivate Humor and Scatter Bless
ings Around You.

Humor may not be a sixth sense or
a seventh, but it ought to be one OF
the senses of the well-ordered human
being. The man who has no sense of
humor and who goes unhumorous and
laughterless through his dreary exist.
ence may have the comfort of know
ing the animals do not laugh and that
the bray Of the jackass comes nearest
an expression of laughter in the ami
NAL creation. writes an optimist in the
New York Times. He may have that
comfort If he wants it. But he should
not want it. The thoroughly serious
man is of piece with the patient
and somber post that stands in the
ground and holds up part of a fence
till 1t rots off He has a mission, but
1t is not a specially enviable one.
Blessed are the cartoonists and the
satirists and the funmakers. For by
cnlarging upon our foilles and foibles
and conspicuities they awaken us to
their elements of the ridiculous and
lead us with wisdom to temper ex.
uberance. Blessed is the saving grace
OF humor. For where humor is, treason
finds no fertile soil, deceit fiourishes
not, hypocrisy withers and dies, greed
Is tempered and reason only rules.

SOMETHING WE ALL DON'T KNOW
Many Men Are kionophlles or kIono-
maniacs.

The round white missile was we'll
aimed, and with laugh the professor
dug the cold snow out of his ear.
Il am kionophile and so are you,"
he said I'm fact, we are all kiono-
philes, while some of us are kiono-
maniacs.
"A kionophile is snow-lover," he
explained, "one whose heart warns at
sight of the fresh white snow, one
who loves the snow as Beethoven
loved music. Yes, we are all kiono-
philes.
"A kionomaniac loves the snow to
madness. A snowfall makes him tenn
porarily insane. You have seen such
people-adults or children-everybo body
has. Beside himself the kionomaniac
bounds from the house, l>aps yelling
into a great drift, rolls about madly,
kicks and founders in the deep snow
with shrieks of Joy.
There Is about snow something
Intoxicating. Some of us it intoxicates
only to kionophilism; others it drives
into stark raving kionomania. In this
last state people, rolling in the cold
white snow, have given themselves
pneumonia, and they have also severe
ly injured their friends-broken their
ribs. and SO forth, banging them about
in the drifts"

Cat with Knowledge Of Music.

At meeting of Washington short
story club the other evening n young
woman from the northeast section
whose mind is said to run to innova-
tions, produced from her handbag 4
roll of manuscript written on the
daintiest of ecru.tinted paper delicate
ly perfumed with violet. and read
her literary offering. 1t proved to be
an account Of the wonderful doings
OF her pet pussy cat, Sweet Pea" as
she had named the animal. She read
how she had trained the cat to sing
Aud Lang Syne," Annie Laurie"
and other venerable airs in the high
falsetto voice for which the feline
family Is noted. Then the young wo-
man related how. in the balmy sum
mer nights, in the romantic moon
light, her pet cat would station itself
on some neighboring fence and sud
denly hll the neighborhood with
strains OF music instead Of the usnsn
caterwauling that is produced by ma-

Too Much for Her Chief.

There is a cabinet officer at Wash
ington who for long time was great
ly annoyed by the incessant requests
for promotion preferred by q young
woman in his department who was y
friend of his family.
One afternoon last winter she en-
tered the great mans Office with the
usual application. Unfortunately, the
head OF the department was in any
thing but a good humor that day. So
he flared up instantly.
Upon my word exclaimed he.
you clerks are the bane of my life!
YOU" he stopped short, as II re-
straining himself Then he burst out
again with: Il wish to goodness you
were a mani"
The young woman flashed glance
at him from a particularly fine pair of
eyes, and as a smile came to her hand
some face she replied: Mr.. Secretary,
you are the first man who ever wished
that"
This was too much for the chief
She got her promotion.-Sunday Mag

The Goose-AIarn.

There are burglar alarms to notify
the householder when a burglar is
seeking entrance. but an Illinois farm
er has proved that there is something
cheaper and just as good. If goose
is tied up by the leg in front or rear
of house at night she will set up a
vigorous cackle II anybody comes

and her eyesight sharp, and she is bet.
ter on the watch than a dog.
The farmer made 80 different ex
periments with the goose alarm, and
in not one single instance did the
goose fail to announce that there was
some one moving about who ought
to be attended to. II you are afraid
Of burglars, buy goose. If you can
afford it, buy two of them, so tina,
one may help the other cackle.

Brides, American and French.

The American girl is brought up to
think much more of herself than of
her marriage. If, in the natural course
of events, it suits her desire to confer
upon some ardent suitor her good
graces, then she will marry; not 9TH
erwise.
The French girl is brought up to
look upon marriage as an obligation
in itself. something she owes society.
She has no choice in the matter, and.
indeed, so confined and narrow is her
jeune file life, that marriage with no
matter what young man her parents
II y select appears to her as the sea-
same of emancipation. We do not
mean to insinuate that marriages now,
as in the eighteenth century, are con-
summated against the will and in
clination Of the bride, who appears
under such circumstances as a victim:
but we mean clearly to show that,
whereas with us the suitor is looked
upon with condescension, in France.

First Congregational church and ST
Patrick's Catholic church at Tenth
and G streets. At the former a H.
brary and reception room is open
throughout the day, in charge of a
matron. The Catholic church, like
practically all structures of that de-
nomination, has been kept open for
many years during the day and
through the evening.
1t is regarded as important by the
pastors of these churches to point
out to the many shoppers that these
edifices afford places of retirement
Here women can go and mingle some
periods of rest with their shopping ex-
petitions. While resting in the church
they can look over the purchases they
have made and can plan where to
go and what to buy, when they shall
become rested and able to again take
up their errands.
The pastors Of the churches also
recommend the use of the open struc-
lures by business men and clerks dur
ing the rest hour about MONDAY. 1t
is pointed out that these men can
quickly get away from the active and
driving business of the office by spend
ing a few minutes in a quiet pew
A greater use of the church edifices

a day without any stop for Sundays,
holidays or anything else, and If you
can't stand the pace, out you go. On
the dredges it is a little easier, for
while the dredges are kept going all
the time. the men work only eight
hours, three shifts being used on
each dredge. The pay is good, but the
men are mighty glad when the sea-
son Is over.
Nearly all the mining in the Klon-
dixie country is done by big corpora
tions. Their plan is to buy out all
the mining claims on a stream in
which they want to operate. A min
Ing claim is 600 feet along the stream
and 1000 feet on each side of the CEN
ter line of the stream. First they
dredge out the bars and riverbeds for
the entire length of their holdings
which may be ten or 12 miles and even
more. and when this work is done
they wash out the benches on the
banks. They surely do clean up every
thing in the gold line
Wages are good in the mining coun-
try. Ordinary miners and laborers re-
ceive five dollars day and found,
and engineers seven and eight dollars

put up nice little pile in a good sea-

WASHINGTON CHURCHES KEPT
OPEN ON WEEK DAYS.
Havens Of Rest In the Downtown Dis.
triet Of the Capital Are Greatly
Appreciated by Women on
Shopping Expeditions.

By taking only few steps which
will occupy couple of minutes, shop
pers of Washington department
stores can get away from the rush
and hurry Of the bargain counters to
absolute quiet and solitude. This Is
made possible by the open house"
maintained throughout the week days
by the large churches in the heart
Of the shopping district of the city.
"The church is open for rest and
prayer" This invitation is placed out
in front Of the Church of the Epiph-
any, on G street between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth streets, and the wide
open door under the huge pile of stone
which makes up the spire adds hearth
ness to the invitation. In front Of
the open door during the daylight
hours rushes an almost constant
stream of humanity, every one on
the alert. There are business men
who are crowding 20 hours of work
into half that time; there are women
with bundles. Rush and strenuosity
are the chief characteristics outside
of that open door.
Inside all is different There is
gentle light in the large structure
that neither makes one squint his
eyes nor strain them. There is abso-
lutte quiet, and the calmness which
pervades the place has a soothing ef-

An Expert Farmer,

An exchange says a young man asks,
"What would you advise a young man
raised on a farm who cannot stand the
dust Of haying and thrashing and is
most too light to do heavy farm work
to do?"
Gardening, Horticulture, poultry rails
ing. civil engineering-all are good. If
he is built for an expert, there are land
scape gardening, inside decorating and
a number of other good occupations
open to him.
The young nan who is built for an
expert-that is, n who is naturally
bright, careful and painstaking-wilI
succeed In any Of the above or in al
most any other occupation. He will
have to learn the business he selects.
He cannot learn any of them from a
Correspondence school," He needs a
practical instructor who can show him,
and the way to become an expert is to
begin at the bottom and work up, thor
oughly learning all the details as one
goes along. The expert is always in
wages
Whatever vocation a young man goes
into, he should be thorough as he goes
along, always keeping his eyes open
for better ways of doing the work he
has in hand. All vocations are crowd
ed with ordinary workers. but there's
still lots of room in the upper ranks.
