The Wisdom Of Experlenee.

There was no doubt in the minds Of
the Hobart family that young James
had a remarkable gift. It remained
for an obscure uncle from the Cape
to drop a word of caution and of
worldly wisdom.
You say he's wonderful farseeing,
and can tell folk just how things are
going to turn out?" he inquired
"Yes, Il seems So" said James
adoring mother.
"Well, now, If you want him to be
the most unpopular man anywhere
round, you just let him foretell and
prophesy and forecast" remarked the
old uncle, grimly.
III you want him to keep a few
friends you must shunt him off to
some other track. Let him work out
sums in his head. That's a harmless
practice"
But why?' faltered the mother.
Just this" answered the authority
from down on the Cape. when he
prophesies thingll so wrong and they
do go wrong, the heft of the blame'll
be laid straight on his shoulders
When he says they'll go right, and
they do, folks be too busy enjoying
themselves to remember your James
And when he says they'll go wrong and
they go right, they'll call him a fool

Sea Water as a Beverage.

Sea water has been converted into
beverage, A little citrlc acid or
citrate of silver is added to tho
briny liquid, chloride of silver is pre-
cipitated, and q harmless mineral
water is produced. One ounce Of
citrate renders half pint of water
drinkable. Seven would furnish a
shipwrecked man with water for Il
week. The question is how to secure
citrate for shipwrecked men. 1t rs
recommended that those who go to
sea carry a bottle of citrate proteoed
by an india rubber covering, or that
such bottles should be furnished in
life preservers. If, with presence of
mind, shipwrecked folk remember to
take these with them all the agonies
Of thirst portrayed in nautical stories
may remain unrealized fiction.

kINDLINESS.

The whole world is hungry for
kindllness. Kindliness win solve all
the great problems that engage the
attention OF men. 1t is the solu-
tfon of the peace problem, the
labor problem, the negro problem,
the divorce problem and every 9TH
er problem. Is anything making
you unhappy? Go out and do
something and tos omebody and
your unhappiness will take wings
and lily away like a scared crow
Is there friction anywhere in your
life? Pour in a little of the sweet
oil of kindliness and everything will
hum. Or, better still. mount your
life with bah bearings Of little
kindnesses and the friction will
never develop. The Iron Rose Bible
Glass teaches its members to be
kind. The Gospel of kindness is the
Gospel of Jesus Christ, '.lnas-
much as ye did it unto the least
Of these yc did it unto me- And
il costs absolutely nothing to think
the kind thought, say the kind
word and do the kind act. Pray
then, why not?
