RECORDED THE TRUTH ALWAYS
Wordsworth's Poetry Set Against Hi

Wordsworth. except by virtue Of one
quality, was not remarkable as let

those frances Of thought and mount
ings Of the mind which came to him
when wandering among the hills or
seated upon some old. gray stone. The
act Of penmanship was always q dis

troubled with Inflammation of the
eyes, and he often dictated his letters.
He could chain his mind to record
facts. but to do 20 implied state Of
servitude. He cared little for the let
ters Of great writer's, and expressed
wish that his own might de de-
stroyed. He had NO pleasant malice
eager to escape from the tip Of the
pen. such a. Horace Walpole had. He
had no bubbiing mirth which will not
be repressed like that Of Lamb. He
could not ensrave an exquisite vignette
for . friends delight and his own, like
Cowper. His pen was not an etcher's
needle, nor . dagger to stab. nor q
sword to cut. nor . hobby horse on
which to canter. But to set over
against all this Wordsworth could
write the truth. and the truth he in,
variably wrote.

Fear never but you shall be con.

natural In their hour. For Of ono

however unlike they seem. These
varieties are lost sight Of whom

from sufhcient distance, and It
straightens itself to the average

explain itself. and will explain your
other genuine actions. Your conform.

what you have already done singly
will justify you now.-Emerson.

Household Reform.

The reform that applies Itself to the
household must not he partial. It
must correct the whole system of our
social living. It must come with plain
living and high thinking; It must
break up caste, and put domestic sery-
ice on another foundation. II must
come in connection with true accept
ance by each man of his vocation. not
chosen by his parents or friends but
by his genius, with earnestness and
love.-Emerson.

A Jewel was lost by rich Komati.
Il was found In the possession Of q

It and obtained loan from . local

was asked to search the house Of the
merchant, and before the search was
effected the merchant gave 1t to him
with . present as . bribe not to haul
MIN up before the court. Between the
three policemen sum Of about 90
rupees was looted from one or the

MASTODONS LIKED SALT WATER
Where Remains of Extinct Animals Are
Most Likely to Be Found.

Wherever you find salt or sulphur
springs says a gentleman connected
with the United States geological survey,
you may expect to find the bones of
mastodons and other huge creatures that
have now become extinct.
MANY persons suppose that the pres
ence of these bones in great numbers
indicates that the animals had a sort of
common cemetery, like the llamas of
Chile. which when they felt death COM
ing on always made for the nearest
stream or pond, and if they could get
there died in the water.
''That. however, is likely only a SUI
perstition. The mastodon bones in a
salt or sulphur marsh indicate that the
animals went there to drink the water
and occasionally one got mired and was
suffocated. The great number Of the
bones does not prove that whole herd
of mastodons was drowned at once, but
that one being mired every year or so
during several centuries would in time
cause a great accumulation G. bones.
Missouri has a bone marsh at Sui
phur Springs; there is great mine of
them at the Salt Springs in Kentucky
and at several places in Ohio and lndi-
ana where there are saline springs, A
great spring in Florida, one of the four
or five huge outlets which are grouped
under the name of Silver Spring, is
called the Bone Yard because the bottom
and sides are masses of mastodon
bones."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
