HOW TO KEEP YOUNG.

The way to keep young is to keep
young 10 spirit
That is TO say
II you want to renew your spirit you
should cultivate the things that make
for youth-new faces. new ideas. new
memories. new hopes. new enthusl
asms.
If. for instance. you cultivate only
the old memories. brooding over them
in the chimney corner. excluding the
memories OF yesterday and last week,
your mind will form the trick of fol-
lowing the old channels. and you will
come to live on the old memories.
Or
If you withdraw yourself from the
new faces, shrink from sociability
and. Ike n rat In his hole. issue forth
only when you must. you win soon
become back number. Let this
world alone for ever so short a time
and it will let you alone for good and
ali.
Or
II you are inhospitable TO new ideas
your attention TO the things Of current
interest viii soon grow calloused. The
mind grows by what it feeds on.
Or
Cease from your earnest endeavors.
"retire from business" make no plans,
indulge no hopes Of future accomplish
ments. What can you expect? You
will age rapidly both In body and in
spirit.
But IL you keep a youthful soul by
means OF new memories, faces. ideas,
hopes. you win not only keep old age
IN the background. but you viii have
sympathy for the young and toler-
ance.
You win not say, as so many elderly
/ persons are apt 10 say:
'Well, people did things differently
when I was young. Manners and Gus
toms were better 10 the good old
days"
Rather YOU will ask yourself II you
really did do better in your day and
whether. after all, the world is not
/ growing better
Above all, II you would keep young
in spirit be careful your temper does
not grow intractable. DO not become
irascible a. you grow older The man.
Hesitation Of temper In an elderly per
son Is not only very unbecoming, but Il
is dangerous 70 him who INDUCES It.
You should have learned 10 control
your feelings. You should have learned
how 70 cultivate the virtues OF pa.
tience and tact and sympathy and
charity.
And. II so. you viii realize the truth
Of the Scripture that. while 'the outer
man decays the inner man is renewed
day by day
Grow old gracefully and graciously.

Punched.

Glenn Wilson was on the verge of
starvation for two days and a night
last week. Glenn was splitting up wood
for winter on his land, four miles west
Of Bingville, Tuesday. 1t appears that
just before he stopped work to eat his
lunch which his wife had put up for
him, Glenn drove a wedge into a good
sized log and then sat down over the
split and began to eat.
Glenn says he was just starting IN on
the sixth hard-boiled egg when, for some
unaccountable reason the wedge flew out
and the split in the log closed UP sud-
denly, holding Glen a prisoner by the
seat of his pants. Glen yelled as loud
as he could, but the nearest house was
over two miles away. Night come on
with Glenn still fast in the log, which
was too big to carry. Glenn says he
would of cut the seat of his pants off,
but he didn't even have his penknife with
him.
BY the next morning he was pretty
hungry and along towards afternoon he
said he guessed he could of drunk a
barrel of water. Along about 9 O'Clock
that night happy thought struck Glenn,
and he Embossed his suspenders and man
aged to slip out of his pants, leaving them
fast in the log. He says he was a
blamed fool not to think of this sooner.
Then he walked the four miles to Bing-
vile with nothing on but his hat. shirt
and shoes. 1t was a coolish-like night,
too, but Glenn at last reached home, en-
tering town the back way. He went
back to the woods Wednesday and pried
his pants outen the log-Bingville Bugle

snaiIs and sIugs.

A woman gardener wrote to State
Zoologist H. A. Surface at Harrisburg,
Pa, asking for instructions how to
overcome the snails in her garden.
Prof. Surface replied: 'Snails and
slugs, although very great and seri-
Gus garden pests, especially where the
gardens are damp and the vegetation
rank, can be prevented by the use OF
an impossible barrier of powdery sub
stance around the beds of plants to
be protected. SCOT is excellent for
this. although dry ashes will serve
the purpose, and air-slaked lime will
be found very good. Also, you can kill
them by busting them with some
freshly slaked lime mixed with paris
green, using about thirty parts Of the
lime to one part of the paris green,
which is busted abundantly over their
bodies. Also busting their food plants
with -four and paris green will de-
stroy them. Another method is to poi
son some leaves of plants of which
they are particularly fond, and put
this where the Snails will find and eat
them and be destroyed. Another meth
cd is to place boards loosely on the
ground, as traps, and in the morning
examine them and pick out and gath
er the snails and brush them into a
vessel containing salt, which will kill
them. If the ground is dry and crack
ed pour salt water into the cracks
and thus destroy them. The barriers
mentioned above should be kept dry,
or renewed every time after a rain.
Keep the vegetation around the gar
den moved low, or keep the ground
cultivated, SO that these pests will
not find suitable places where they can
multiply"

names suggested by him ere: DIR. Hei

who drove the bubonic plague out OF
San Francisco last year; DIR. White, who
cleaned up New Orleans of yellow fever
DIR. Cofer, who established the quaran.

great accession of foreign population
in the last few years, and with the for

large increase in consumption ard other
diseases of poverty and overcrowding.
When Boston finds the expert she wants
he will be put to work recognizing the

The Bees Sense of Direction.

hi A French beekeeper made a test
which satisfied him that the sense of
direction is more finely developed in
the bee than in the pigeon. He took
a dozen pigeons and dozen bees about
eight miles from his garden and there
released them. To recognize the bees
he busted them with -four, and had a
friend stationed near the hive and well
in view of the dovecote The first bee
arrived home exactly fifteen seconds
before the first pigeon, and their COM
panions followed in due order.
