to the majority of us that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more or
less miserable i'll health takes
first place. Hannah More said
that sin was generally to be at
tributed to biliousness. No doubt
a crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause Of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And wht
can reckon up the fearful aggre-.
gate of pain, loss and fear a
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
" be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like

sition in the confidence of the

ment with some of the theories that
were developing in his fertile brain.
| He reached California in 1876. He
was twenty-five years Of age, slender,
rather delicate, but possessed Of great
vitality and endurance.
| The country was new. the settlers
few. Burbanks's stock Of money was
small, and he could not get a start In
his chosen line Of work. Day after day
he sought work-work Of any kind, but
failed to find it. He was willing to
do anything honorable and for a mere
pittance found steady work In cleaning
out coops on a chicken ranch. He had
no place to sleep and made his home
in the chicken coop; but even this dis
agreeable work failed, and he was re-
duced to absolute want, being obliged
to beg the refuse Of bones at the meat
market and getting what sustenance
he could from them.
At last he found work In q small
nursery. Here he would work among
his beloved plants, but his wages were
place to lodge, and slept in small
bare room over the steaming hothouse,
where his clothes were never dry.
Constant exposure and lack Of food at
last brought on fever. A poor woman
in the neighborhood found him in a
critical condition. She insisted upon
bringing him each day a portion Of
the milk from one cow that scantily
supplied the wants Of her own family.
This act Of womanly devotion saved to
the world the life of man who Is to-
day recognized as one Of the greatest
benefactors Of the human race.
Persistency will overcome every Diff
ficulty, and in the course Of time Luth-
er Burbank saved up enough to set
him up in business for himself. His
ideal was to become not only raiser
of plants, but an improver Of the va
rieties, and creator Of new plants,
and toward this ideal he worked with
patient courage and indomitable en-
ergy.
One day there came an order from a
man who wished to establish q large
prune ranch. He must have 10000
trees, and he must have them in nine
months Burbank had the audacity Of
assured knowledge and took the order.
It would take the ordinary nurseryman
more than three years to raise the
trees. Luther Burbank secured the
country for men and boys to plant al
monds. It was the only tree suited to
his purpose that would sprout so late
in the season. 1t grows very rapidly.
Soon the young shoots were big enough
for budding-20,OO0 prune buds in
readiness, were budded into the grow
ing almonds. In nine months the 20.-
900 prune trees were ready to deliver.
The brain Of the man had changed the
course Of nature into what seemed a
miracle Of energy and today one Of
the finest prune orchards in the world
is growing from these trees.
This gave the young nurseryman
start. Year by year he extended his
plants and discovered new, wonderful
powers in nature through selection
and breeding. Money was lacking to
carry out his experiments on a suf1ci-
emily large scale until the Carnegie
institute offered a grant Of $4,000
per annum for ten years, to be used in
furthering the experiments.
The grant became available in 1905.

THE BLUE JAY.
Why Should He Be Selected as Sand
Rnarar N Satan?

Why Should He Be Selected as Sand
Bearer to Satan?
It is said and believed by many that
all the blue jays disappear every FRI
day. and not one can be seen until the
next day, and this disappearance is ac-
counted for by the statement that the
birds are under a compact with Satan
and that they devote each Friday to
delivering him a supply Of sand to heat
his caldron to the point Of torture.
But why should the blue jay be Sc
lected as sand bearer to Satan when
there are so many birds of stronger
and fieeter wing? There are many
superstitions that have a reasoning
basis, but this particular one has moth
ing whatever to go on.
The origin of it lies in the fact that
the blue Jay is a most particular home
builder. He knows how to build his
house, and he takes a great pride In 1t.
He doesn't hang his nest to limb nor
glue it to a tree.
Instead he selects a substantial fork
or crotch of limb, lays down few
twigs of goodly size and strength, and
on these he superimposes strong
foundation of clay, with layers of pa
pers between, and when his nest Is fin
ished it is as substantial in proportion
as one of our modern structures.
Thus fitted and finished, it is admi-
rably adapted to the rearing of a
strong and healthy brood, and the blue
Jay goes about his business with the
earnest energy that characterizes al.
his movements.
He raises his young and leads them
about from tree to tree and from bush
to bush until they have tried and
found their wings, and then, his re-
sponsibilities being over, he proceeds
with his career Of gayety, veritable
practitioner of rough fun and stage
humor.-Uncle Remus' Magazine.

PRINTING ON TIN.
Myriads of Decorated Boxes and Cans
| Produced Annually.

MyrladS OF decorated Boxes ana Sahs
Produced Annually.
Within comparatively recent years
there has come to be done great
amount Of printing on tin in making
the innumerable decorated cans and
boxes used in marketing various man.
ufactured products, says the New
York Sun.
Printing on tin Is done from metal
plates Of zinc or aluminium, but more
commonly from stone blocks. 1t is
commonly done in two or more COL
ors; with the use Of only two colors
the effect Of three may be produced
by leaving part Of the bright tin ex-
posed. Many boxes or cans are print
ed in three or four or half dozen
or even a still greater number Of COL
ors. Each color must be printed on
| the tin separately; nobody has yet in
vented a multicolor press for printing
on tin.
OF course, tin does not absorb ink
as paper does, and so printed tin
plates must be dried. AS the printed
plates come through on the press they
are taken off the stone one by one
and stood separately in a movable
rack that will hold about 20 plates.
AS fast as racks are filled they are
rolled into kiln for drying, a process
that may require from one to two
hours. And the plates must be dried
In this manner every time they come
off the press, which would be, for ex-
ample, six times If they were printed
| In six colors.
1t might seem that the elaborate
handling required in the drying pro-
cess and the repeated landings re-
quired in the repeated printings would
add materially to the cost Of the box
es, but it doesn't add so much as
might be thought, for there are many
pieces on sheet. OF these strips for
the sides and ends Of sardine cans, for
instance, there might be 20 printed
| on one sheet of tin. OF designs for
small box covers there might be en-
graved on a single block as many as
So which would in single color be
all printed at once. So In drying
rack holding 20 plates there would be
400 sardine strips of 1900 small box
covers, in this process all handled at
once.
With the plates for all parts duly
printed the printed tin is cut up and
made into boxes. These decorated
tin boxes of various sizes, shapes and
coloring and manner Of decoration
are all made to order for the various
consumers using them in the market
| ing of their goods. Some buyers OF
tin boxes supply to the box manufac-
turer the designs to be used, COM
pletely printed with the colors to be
reproduced; for other buyers special
designs and colorings are supplied by
the box manufacturers. In either
case the specially designed box be-
comes sooner or later a distinguish
ing mark of the goods or the prepara-
ton contained in it.
The number of these various sorts
of decorated tin cans and boxes now
sold is enormous. There are single
concerns putting goods on the market
in such packages that they buy TO-
000,0OO to 100000 Of decorated tin
boxes a year, and In the aggregate
there are now sold of such cans and
boxes hundreds Of millions annually.

have seen enough to make me be-
lieve in Zollner's fourth dimension
but 1 don't. My mind is so con-
structed that such wonders as we
meet in seances produce very little ef-
feet on me. They are as normal to
me now as the popping of corn or thr
roasting of potatoes. But as for be-
lief-well that is not a matter Of the
will, but of evidence, and the evil
dence is not yet sufficient to bring me
to any definite conclusion. In fact, IN
the broad day and especially the Sec
ond day after I have been through
one of these experiences 1 begin to
doubt my senses. Richet speaks of
this curious recession of belief and
admits his own inability to retain the
conviction that at the moment the
phenomenon was complete. mo
sooner is the sitting over than my
doubts come swarming back upon
me-" he says. THE real world which
surrounds us, with it's prejudices, its
scheme of habtual opinions, holds us
in so strong a grasp that we can
scarcely free ourselves completely.
Certainty does not follow on demon
stration, but on habit"
Maxwell says: Il believe in these
phenomena but l see no need to at
tribute them to any supernatural in
tervention. / am inclined to think
they are produced by some force
within ourselves" Just what he
means by that 1 can't precisely ex-
plain. It's harder to understand than
the spirit hypothesis. He goes on to
say that, while he is certain that we
are in the presence of an unknown
force, he is convinced that the phenom-
ena will ultimately be found orderly
like all other facts of nature. "Some
future Newton will discover a more
complete formula than ours" he
prophesies every natural fact
should be studied and, if it be real,
incorporated in the patrimony OF
knowledge" He then adds, with the
true scientists humble acknowledg-
ment of the infinite reach Of the un-
discovered universe, Our knowledge
