The HoIiowness of the Earth.

That the earth is hollow is the en-
gaging belief of a modern philosopher,
William Reed. Says he: why did
Nansen sail Is days through clear wa
tiers and only advance one degree I'M
less he was sailing round and round
inside? Where do the seals and musk
oxen go for their feeding grounds?
Where do the fresh-water icebergs
come from? Why do scientists treat
the earth as If it were a solid and
have to make out that it's three times
as heavy as nickel steel in order to
make their calculations fit? Why is
the sun invisible so long at the north
and south in winter, unless there's a
depression which shuts out its light?
What is the Aurora Borealis? Elec-
trio lights? Then why don't we meet
it all over the earth? 1t is fires re-
flected from inside the earth ?"-Har-
per'S Weekly.

AFTER HOURS

What a man shall do latter hours"
is subject which often receives his
most enthusiastic attention. AS
rule it is devoted to some pleasure
hunt. If some men gave as much
thought during business hours to the
improvement in their work as they do
to planning some sort of diversion or
entertainment to take up their own
time, there would be more large salar-
les paid.
There are few men who realize that
even though they are using time and
brain force for their own pleasure which
belongs to their employer, they are
robbing themselves to much greater
extent PROFESSIONALLY man has a
perfect right to use his own time and
money as he sees fit. He hasn't
right to use his employers time to lay
plans as to what he shall do in that of
his own.
A mans leisure hours should be
worth as much to himself as his other
hours are to his employer. The for
mer are the hours in which he should
lay in store of mental improvement
and money making knowledge. The
man who doesn't SO use at least a fair
proportion of such time stands good
show of remaining in the lower ranks
indefinitely. He is the man who COM
plains about small pay, forgetting
that no one in the world has so much
power TO increase it as himself. He
is the man who lays it all at the door
Of fate or circumstances. A mans
circumstances are generally what he
makes them. The man who does not
realize this fact needs to have his grey
matter raked over and his vision sharp
ened. He has only to look to the his
tory of men Of great achievement,
whether of literary or of business
nature. How did they get it? Ger
tainly not by complaining of hard
ships surrounding them: not by plan
ing how much time they could devote
to pleasure and entertainment. They
are the men that realize that pleasure
and the greatest amount of the good
things of this life lay at the end of a
harder road. They are men that
made their leisure hours count.
A man should at the earliest possible
date get into line of work that suits
him. A man in business that is not
sufficiently interesting to him to lead
him TO study it, is in the wrong line.
He should study something else, for
study he must if he hopes to win.

Will Soon Belong to Language.

The word "contraption" finds it's
place in the Standard dictionary; but
1t has not yet obtained full currency;
it is colloquialism. Bartlett notes
its use as an Americanism. With
greater particularly Mr.. Farmers
"Americanisms" puts it into pillory as
"a genuine American vulgarism ap-
piled to any new-fangled peculiar
thing or idea" Yet the same author,
collaborating with Henley i'm the ''Dic-
tionary of Slang and Colloquial Eng
fish," seems in this later work to re-
gard it as English of England, for the
definition is small articles, tools and
so FORTH" and to this has appended
the date 1888 as representing the first
period of its currency. The Standards
derivation from con and trap seems
rather a concession to the mechanics
of etymology than an explanation of
the sense of the word

Culture.

These things 1 mean: clear and pen
etrative vision, the skill to ascertain
the half-hidden fact, to generalize the
relation, to ground the assertion and
to give the truth its bearings; and be-
sides these, powers of the intellect, a
sympathetic interest in all that
touches life; most tenacious will,
intelligently set for things of value in
themselves. All these are the very
hearts desire of any cultural process
that really cultures. Men are
men as well as workmen. They can
not reach their full strength and their
due rank in the order of things if they
become but operatives in the worlds
work, so busted and so bent on gain
as to feel nothing of the worlds
worth.-F. Warren, Dean Boston Uni
versity.

ECONOMY
The Importance of Living within
YOUR means,

Of all the virtues that help to make
a man success, there is none of great
er Importance than economy. The
economical man never spends as mnch
as he earns. He always has some
thing to fall back upon when the
financial sea grows stormy. Many a
man with private income has be-
come poor and many a poor man fails
to achieve independence through lack
ing the wisdom or backbone to be
economical. Jones gets into Smiths
set, and. althoughShls income falls far
short of that of the poorest of his as
sociates, he endeavors, manfully as he
thinks, to keep up with the rest.
Live within your means though the
heavens fall. If any group OF men or
women set up standard of recogni-
tion that is based on what you spend,
turn your back on it and on them.
Statistics show that the average in
come of the American family is s43O
year. Yet we have people in every

contractor has perfected neat device
to prevent high voltage electricity
from entering buildings. At the in
slant a high voltage enters building.

arty will be pleased to explain more
definately to any one wishing protec-
ton.

Nature has provided the stomach
with certain natural fluids known as
the digestive juices, and it is through
these juices that the food we eat Is
acted upon in such way as to pro-
duce the rich, red blood that flows
through the veins of our body and
thereby makes us strong. healthy and
robust, and it is the weakening OF
these digestive juices that destroys
health. 1t is our own fault if we deS-
troy our own health, and yet il is so
easy for anyone to put the stomach
out of order. When you need TO take
something you know is reliable
something like Kodol For Dyspepsia
and Indigestion. Kodol is pleasant
to take, it is reliable and isguaranteed
to give relief. 1t is sold by Johnson
& Hill Co.

What She Called 1t.

A woman of psychic turn of mind
was telling a friend of a case of trans
ference that puzzled her.
81 was in the shop leaning over the
case looking at the handkerchiefs. An
other woman was beside me. Sudden
ly l saw that my lucky gold piece, a
sovereign, had slipped out of my
purse. So l picked it up/and slipped
it back. But the odd thing! When /
got in the car and opened my purse
there were two sovereigs. The one on
the case hadn't been mine at all! But
do you think it was meant for me,
somehow? What do you call that
phenomenon?
81 call that plain swiping," said the
friend, who wasn't mystic.
