Mean Joke of Doctor.

The celebrated French physician,
Ricord, was one day walking along the
boulevards in Paris, when he met an
old gentleman who was very rich. but
who was at the same time noted for
his extreme stinginess. The old man,
who was somewhat of hypochondri-
ac, imagined that he could get some
medical advice from Ricord without
paying fer it. Doctor, | am feeling
very poorly" Where do you suffer
most?" In my stomach, doctor" All,

That's right. Now put out your tongue,

PLEA FOR sELF.RELiANcE.
Charles G. Dawes Good Advice Il
Young Men In Business.

This is q hard world In business. It
always has been and always will be.
There are many good and generous
men in it. There are many who WILL
lend helping hand to you in your ad'
versity, but in the time Of need you
will not find them among the men
who tried to get you to embark In
speculation with your little surplus,
and to sell you something which
would help you to "easy money" Be
self-reliant. Make your own tnvest1-
cation into investments. When you
cannot. put your money in a good
savings bank. Distrust the financial
demagogues as you distrust the po-
litical demagogue. Keep your hand
on your pocketbook as you travel life
first, to give always in proportion
to your means to those who are poor
or; second. to hold from those who
would take through force or fraud
what you need for yourself and yours.
You will then, writes Mr.. Dawes in
the Saturday Evening Post, have your
hand where most Of tho other fellows
have only their eyes. In this alone
you will have the advantage Of them.

HAVE SURPLUS OF FURNITURE
Writer critieises Modern Msthods OF
House Adornment.

Most people have far too much fur
niture in their houses, and certainly
the majority indulge in too much tes-
tile fabric. Too many curtains, too
many antimacassars, too many mats
and cushions, says writer in Good
Health. All these things collect and
hold dust, and curtains shut out fresh
air and sunshine. Carpets. especially
in the rooms we sleep in, l would
abolish.
The bedroom carpet is snare, and
the sooner 1t makes it's final exit the
better for the family health. That
great artist and critic, William Nor
ris, once said: Have nothing in your
house that you do not know to be use
full or believe to be beautiful. This
is counsel many women might take to
heart, thereby making their homes
more beautiful, and undoubtedly far
easier to keep clean and orderly"

How Coal Grows.

p It takes prodigious amount Of yege-
table matter to form layer of coal, it
being estimated that the present
growth Of the world would make lay
er less than one eighth of an inch in
thickness, and that 1t would take a
million years Of vegetable growths to
form a coal-bed ten feet in thickness.
The United States has an area OF
more than 100000 square miles Of
coal-fields, and more than 10O,000,000
tons of coal were mined in this coun-
try last year-enough to run ring
around the earth at the center 5h feet
wide and 51a feet thick. Competent
scientists say that there is enough
coal in the United States to supply the
world for the next 1000 years. i
