WHAT DOES 1T PROFIT THEM7

Hear the foolish people grumbling at tho
wind and at the iain;
They complain about their losses or the
little that they gain;
They are fretting under burdens that
have bent their shoulders low;
They are mourning for the chances that
they missed long long ago;
thinking all the world Is drear.
with sad faces they appear;
eut what profits are they gaining for
See the foolish people frowning as they
hurry on their ways,
They have neither time for smiling nor
- Tor giving others praise;
They are thinking of their sorrows, which
- are always multiplied;
They are bearing woes that ever in their
minds are maEnificd
They are hurrying along,
But what profits are they gaining for the
joys they put aside?
cied sights and wrongs
Ihey decline to search for gladness and
rho,, they hum no hopeful songs;
getting In their haste
To perceive the glowing splendor OF the
precious days they waste
Burdening themselves with hate,
They are caviiling at Fate;
But what profits are they gaining for the
bitterness they taste?
See the foolish people passing Joys they
have the right to share:
Ihey are busy hunting trouble. they are
cinging to despair;
Ihey go pcering into corners i'm their
search for sin and shame;
They are blind to all the beauty that
surrounds them: fun OF blame
For the man whose look is glad.
Ihey pass onward, bowed and sad:
But what profits are they gaining for the
glee they Will not claim?

Ell is Objectionable in more than one
way, but nobody can object to an ap-

Fortunate is the woman who has
successfully cultivated the habit OF
sleeping at will. 1t is said that Miss
Julia Marlowe can rest between
scenes Of the most exacting plays by
her ability to drop asleep when she
pleases. These little periods of I'M
consciousness are great restorers,
and there need be no special prepare
with darkness and bed, but daylight,
soft couches and easy chairs are just
as good for sleeping purposes-only
the power of INSTRUMENTATION is

be serious drawback to good work

splendid health and poise, of strong
mentality, and we marvel at their
gifts when the whole secret of their

Women in Siam.

Next to King Chularongkom, the
most powerful personality in Siam Is
undoubtedly the queen, capable and
energetic woman, and altogether a re-
markable parsonage. The position of
women in Siam contrasts favorably
with that among other Oriental peo-
pies. The ordinary woman possesses
such a robust physique and erect
bearing that a stranger easily mis-
takes her for a man, especially as her
hair is short cropped and the dress of
both sexes very similar In the gen.
eral business of life the average ST.
amese woman is often superior to the
man; she understands thoroughly eco
nomic as well as domestic household
AFFAIRS. and enjoys considerable
share of freedom. Polyeamy is fast
dying out in the lower classes, and
gradually decreasing among the rich.
What is peculiarly hopeful is the at
titude of both government and society
toward female educatlon.-The Lon
don Chronicle.

Concentrated Oil of Pine From the
Camps Also Furnishes Sure
Cure for Coughs and Colds.


A renowned Philadelphia doctor, famous
for his pine forest cures. has recently
given to his fellow physicians a new and
probably the most valuable of pine prod
usts. Ii is known to the profession as
Concentrated oil of pine. In speaking of
this oil. a well known local physician
declared il is without an equal tor the
speedy relief Of acute colds and coughs
and all manner of throat and lung trcu-
bic. The original formula used and now
generally prescribed is as follows;
One-han ounce Of Concentrated oil OF
pine. two ounces of glycerine half pint of
good pure whisky; mix thoroughly and use
in doses of a teaspOOnful to tablespoon
ful every four hours. shaking the bottle
each time.
On inquiring at one of the leading drEsi
stores il was found that the COnccB-
tated oil of pine is put I'D only in one
way and that is in half-cunce bottles. each
iuclOSed in a tin screw top case which
protects Il from heat and light The oils
sold in bulk and patent medicine lmit3
tons sold as oil of pine frequently put
out in wooden boxes are useless: on ac-
count of their impurities they produce
nausea and kidney trouble.
