WISE WORDS.

An optimist is one who keeps alive
the JOY derived from common things.
We should not be with wicked
men as their companions, but as their
physicians.
Religion may become an escape
from duty, rather than its inspiration
and fulfillment.
The trouble with many uplifters is
that they love their notions more
than the people.
1T abideth alone" explains away
some lives. They have never learned
the law of service
Virtue, like health, is usually I'M
conscious of itself.
The best way to save time is to
lose some of it in prayer
It's easy making light of sorrow
when it's not our own.
The church will have trouble in
drawing men SO long as it thinks
more of drawing them than of help
ing them.
Success is not in making mistakes,
but in making the most of them
The saddest people are those who
are trying to pump happiness out of
the cisterns of amusement
An ignorant mans practice of piety
does more good than the most learned
mans philosophy of religion.
He is proficient in self-denial who
can silence the mean things he had
thought of saying of another
Nature provides that if we make
life a dream of pleasure we shall
awaken by stubbing the toe on
pain.
Some think that when they've
rounded off the corners of rottenness
they've polished impurity into
purity.
When you go out in another's wis
dom dressed, be sure that truth will
blow and you will stand a fool con-
sed.--Home Herald

Just Said About the Bible.

The first book that was given me
was Bible, and in those far off gypsy
days, as little nomad, little stran-
ger, when 1 could not tell A from B,
used to open the book under hedge
Or a tree, or in the corner of field
and very often it was the wrong way
up. But that did not matter; it was
all there, and l used to kneel down
beside it and pray this prayer: "Oh,
God, I cannot read Thy book, but
would You fill my heart with it's
spirit" And the Lord heard that
prayer long before l could read
letter; and / should not have been
where l am to-day if had not kept
up that sort of attitude, and l have
tried to cultivate the art of living in
an atmosphere Of talking to God.
And, men and women, you will have
to get there if you are going to be of
any service to God and humanity

Animals That Earn Their Living.

The number and variety of four
footed creatures on the stage or in
the circus and earning good salaries
for their trainers is astonishing.
Lions, tigers, elephants, bears, horses,
clown mules, Shetland ponies who
dance the lanciers in sets, acrobatic
dogs, horses that do fractions, and
monkeys that accomplish some feats
that require almost human intelli-
gence and ability are legion. Good
animal actors are always in demand,
and the salaries they command are
powerful incentives for trainers to
rack their brains to hit upon some
new and amusing act. 1t is not the
cleverest act that wins approval so
much as the most original and anus
ing.
There are two universal rules
among animal trainers. The first is
to become familiar with the animals
and to known his temperament and
to make friends with him. The next
thing is to make the animal under
stand thoroughly what it is that you
want him to do and to make him
do it, The animal must be made
to feel that the man is his superior;
then unremitting labor and infinite
patience are required if successful
result is to be obtained.-Harriet
Quimbey, in Leslie's Weekly.

Fishes That Grunt.

An interesting, but not surprising,
ietail of the Italian biologists claim
20 have discovered that fishes con-
verse by means of buzzes, is his point
hat the red gurnet is the most talk
alive. The gurnet or gurnard de-
rives it's name from kind of grunt
which it utters when taken out of
he water (French ''grogner," to
grunt). Nearly 1000 years ago
Aristotle recorded that, though fishes,
having no lungs, have therefore no
voice, several of them can emit
grunting. sounds. But this kind OF
protest, which might possibly be con-
sidered purely automatic, is good
deal short of the conversational pow
ers which the Italian attributes to the
oroyerbially dumb tribe.

When Eleven Days Were Lost.

and restore them later in the year,
Dr. there might be repetition of the
scene in 1852, when the ignorant
populace were alarmed at the drop
ping out of the calendar of the days
from September to September IA.
The change was one of tremendous
import, and the people, violently in
famed against it, raised the cry on
he hustings, who stole the eleven
days? Give us back the eleven
1ays?" But the eleven days never
came back, and are not likely to do
so. In this respect, as in the classic
case in Ingoldsby, nobody seemed
one penny the worse"

CHILD'S IDEAL DAY

From his earliest years." says Ed
win Collins, latterday exponent of
Rousseau's theory that child must
not be taught Systematically until
twelve years old, 1.-The little one must
rise as soon as he awakes, though on
no account must he be awakened pre-
maturely. After bath he must go
straight out into the garden, and
there, if possible, eat a substantial
meal of as much wholesome food as
appetite suggests. The child may
then ask questions, and these should
be answered. Then, as in the philos-
ophy of the great Socrates, other sub
iects will suggest themselves. These
must be pursued so long as there is
no slackening of interest. Let me
suggest a concrete example: The
morning prayers may suggest Bible
history; this, in turn, will open out
topics of general history; then the I'M
trained mind may wander Off into
geography and even hygiene. The
child must play, too, as his fancy die
tates. Dumbbells and systematized
athletic exercises | do not recommend,
except in the case of STOPPING or de-
formed children, and under the ad-
vice of a health specialist New
York Press.

Pearl Farm Is The Latest.

E. r. Jefferson, of Duluth, has
devised scheme for treating clans
so each may prove a pearl bearer.
He made a study of the pearl ques-
ton as applied to bivalves and ascer-
tanned the scientific theory of the
origin of the pearl in sheIltish. Then
he figured the cultivation of the gems
was possibly practical venture.
Mr.. Jefferson actually has grown
some pearls, although they are small.
1t remains to be seen, with lapse of
time, if large ones cannot be culti-
waited.
Several years ago Jefferson secured
number of clans, and, after in
closing space on a lake shore, plant
ed them in the water. Before doing
so he bored a tiny hole in the shell
and lodged grain of sand in each.
AS a result he succeeded in getting
a number of small pearls.

Wife Dumb, Has To Listen.

Arriving at the conclusion that his
wife could and did talk enough for
both of them, Isaac Hollar, after a
quarrel with her, fifteen years ago,
vowed never to speak to her again,
so for that length of time kept silent.
He was moved to change his mind
a few days ago only after distress
ing accident had happened to his
wife. While she was in an excited
frame of mind and was engaged in
reminding him of his shortcomings,
her tongue suddenly became paralyz-
ed, so that in a second she became
speechless.
Mr.. Hollar at first could not be-
lieve it was true; it seemed too good.
Then, when he saw that there was
no chance of a comeback he address
ed few remarks to Mrs. Hollar. He
rose to heights of oratory and in an
impassionate manner he made up for
all the golden opportunities he had
neglected. All his wife could do
was to make motions.-N. Y. World.

FASHION IN WEDDING MUSIC


A musician who has played at many

curious selections the musical pro-

concerts in town have been given at
big weddings, but many of the pieces
played have been so radically differ

compositions as to shock the brides

A Vegas Feat.

For fourteen years Bava Luchman
Dass received from the priests of the
Black Caves of central India the
necessary education in order to be-
come a yoga, as a yoga must be
capable of taking the forty-eight pos
lures of the Hindoo idols.
Perhaps his greatest trick consists
in balancing himself on the ends of
his fingers while the whole of his
body is in the air. Bava stated that
in order to obtain the rank of yoga
in the Black Caves of India he had
to continue in this position on the
ends of his fingers under the eyes of
the judges, without second S inter-
val, for seven days and nights.
