Mirth and Medicine.

know of nothing equal to a
cheerful and even mirthful conversa-
ton for restoring the tone of mind
and body, when both have been over
done. Some great and good men, on
whom very heavy cares and tolls
have been laid, manifest a constitu-
tional tendency to relax into mirth
when their work is over.
Narrow minds denounce the in
congruity; large hearts own Gods
goodness in the fact, and rejoice in
the wise provision made for prolong-
ing useful lives. Mirth, after ex-
haustive toll, is one of natures in
stinctive efforts to heal the part
which has been racked or bruised.
You cannot too sternly reprobate
a frivolous life; but if the life be
earnest for God or man, with here
and there layer of mirthfulness
protruding, a soft bedding to receive
heavy cares, which otherwise would
crush the spirit, to snarl against the
sports of mirth may be the easy and
useless occupation of small man,
who cannot take in at one view the
whole circumference of a large one.

NOVELIST ON DESERT ISLAND.
The South Sea Island steamer Suva
has brought to Sydney from Nuaka-
lofa, in the Tonga group, news of an
authoress who, like the late Robert
Louis Stevenson, has made speciality
of Pacific island stories. Early in
this year Miss Beatrice Grimshaw
was in London, where she published
a book that met with some success.
"a few days ago." the report
brough by the Suva runs, "a native
was seen padding his canoe at
furious rate toward the Nuakalofa
beach. When he got his breath and
Gained himself he declared to other
natives on the beach that he had seen
and had been challenged by lone
white bare-footed figure of female
on an uninhabited island.
The Tonga Government officials
were informed, and as it was evening
they decided not to go and see what
the apparition was until the next day,
in case it were some evil spirit.
Next day the officials went out
in a boat to investigate and with fear
and trepidation on their faces landed
on the old pilot station and discOv-
cred fire with a tea kettle singing
merrily, looking glass, and inside
hut, humping her typewriter, Miss
Crimshaw, the authoress, who was
trying to find some land where no
white man had ever trod.

three days, she braved the hot sun

Kings as Linguists.

Perhaps the next best linguist to the
King among those sitting upon Euro
pean thrones is the Kaiser, whose
French is extraordinarily pure and
idiomatic and who also speaks excel
lent English, although he has never
been able to rid himself of strong
German accent. But the Emperor
employs a foreign tongue only on
state occasions, when it is a case OF
noblesse oblige, and even while fully
aware of the Cars dislike to most
things German, including the Ian
guage, he speechifies to Nicholas II. s
polite French toasts in sonorous, gut
tural German. The kings of Spain
and Italy are also good linguists, and
among the queens and princesses of
Europe the talent for languages is
quite extraordinary and adds greatly
to the grace and charm of modern
court life.-Tit-Bits.

Exploiting Scrapple.

Scrapple, that Pennsylvania dainty.

A number of rich farmers in the
lower end of Dauphin County are
considering the advisability of going
into the manufacture of scrapple on
a large scale, for shipment all over
the country. A number of Chester
and Lancaster County men are al
ready in the business of manufac-
turing scrapple, and their success

With A Silent Guard,

Modern science seems to spend its
time undoing it's own efforts. Take,
for instance, so-called burglary-proof
safes.
The up-to-date burglar soon found
that by means of compressed oxygen
and acetylene gas he could produce
a flame so hot that the steel doors
of safe would fuse in it like lead
in an ordinary gas Jet.
In addition, the accessories requir-
ed are of handy size, and there is
no noise. Observation is all the safe
breaker has to avoid.
Now it is suggested manufacture
ers should add a simple apparatus
to the material used in making safes
which would liberate certain cheml-
Gals, rendering it dangerous even
fatal-to tamper with the walls or
door.
No doubt in time the scientific
burglar will find a means of over
coming this, but for a little while,
at least, protection can be obtained
against the scientific craftsman.

Crime Rare in Ireland.

Crimes against morals are so rare
in ireland that in the western coun-
ties of Mayo, Leitrim and Sligo, and
also in Cava1I, they were fewer during
the year 1906 than one offense per
100000 of the population.
This fact is shown in the Blue Book
on Irish criminal statistics issued
yesterday.
The whole range of indictable Of
lenses was 9465. which represents
rate of only very little over two
offenses (22) for every 1000 of the
population. The cases of drunken
ness (77,262) were less numerous
than in any of the preceding ten
years.

REFRIGERATORS.

A rusty and unwholesome looking
refrigerator was taken in hand by a
young housewife and transformed in
to one as good as new. Two coats
of enamel transformed it, and she
did it herself, putting on the first
coat as thin as possible and allow
ing it to dry before attempting to
fill up the cracks. A pale green tint
of enamel was used. By careful
testing it was found that ice lasted
longer in the box after painting than
before, probably because some cracks
in the old zinc were effectually
stopped by the enamel.-New York

State Assembly, asking for sugges-
tions. Mrs. Roosevelt replied with

OF work suggested for the program,
and Mr.. Roosevelt also wrote letter,
making the following among other
suggestions:
For one of your topics, how would
it do to speak of the place of the
father in the home? Now and then
people forget that exactly as the
mother must help the bread-winner
by being good housewife, so the
father in his turn, if he is worth his
salt, must in every way back up the
mother in helping bring up the chill
dren.
After all, the prime duties are
elemental, and no amount of cultiva-
ton, no amount of business force and
sagacity will make the average man
good citizen unless that average
man is good husband and father
and unless he is a successful bread
winner, is tender and considerate with
his wife and both loving and wise

"OFF WITH SILK STOCKINGS!"
Science, with its cold consideration
of cause and effect and its apparently
malicious preference for the plain and
unbecoming as against the dainty and
attractive, has come out again with
an edict against one of the pet fancies
of fair femininity with a courage that
would command respect even in less
dangerous field than that of women's
tastes. The fight against French cor
sets, with their almost miraculous
plastic effects, and French shoes,
with their impOssibly high heels and
low-cut fronts, has been waged in
vain, but the medical men, undis-
mayed by failure and imperViOus to
the rebuffs that would bid them mind
their own business, have plunged
even deeper into the mysteries of the
feminine toilet, and have come out
with an unqualified condemnation of
silk stockings. Many men already
have laid many sins to the charge of
silk stockings now the women them
selves are hidden to recognize them
as responsible for a whole host of
ills, and it remains to be seen wheth-
er they will look on them with any
less affectionate desire than in the
past The alternative they are bid
den to take is unattractive enough to
warrant almost any degree of rebel
lion against the latest mandate of the
physicians. for not motley, but wool,
or worse still, cotton, henceforth is
to be the only wear. - New York
