SNAPSHOTS OF THOUGHT.
By TN. SULLIVAN.

God places into your loom the
warp and woof OF an earthly ex-
istence into which, II. with the
shuttle Of industry. you weave the
threads Of virtue, integrity, and
love. your fabric will be a mantle
Of immortal glory
Retrospection Is the golden chord
that binds venerable age to the
sweet memories Of happy child
hood.
Cover the embers OF hate with
the mantle Of love.
Pride is usually the chief tenant
OF an empty brain; therefore. IT
hates superiors. looks with con-
tempt upon interiors. and ac-
knowledges no equal.
The tenderness Of a mans heart
Is a better gauge of his worth TO
the world than the capacity OF his
head
Let not the manacles OF despair
shackle the tendrils Of hope.
Stern reality often punctures the
balloons that ideality initiates.
The diplomas awarded by the
school CT experience are bestowed
too late In life 10 be of much
service 70 the recipients.
1t is never necessary to replace
the machinery OF business that is
fabricated with courtesy.
Conscience is the faithful SEN
tinel which guards the border
line between right and wrong. chal-
lenges should always be needed.

MAY OPEN NEW LINE.
Pacific steamer to Manila Proposed
by Capitalists.

When the new regulations governing
importation OF the products of the Philip
pines into this country 80 into effect It
T. is regarded as highly probable by the Of
fcials OF the Treasury Department that a
new steamer lire will be inaugurated
between some point on the Pacific Coast
and Manila.
The new rules provide that all mer-
chandise must be shipped direct from the
islands 10 the United States 10 be ad-
mitted free from duty Goods transhipped
at Hongkong and other points will be
required 10 pay the same rate OF duty as
other foreign articles
This viii seriously curtau the business
OF the tramp steamers which handle a
large part of the produce Of the Philip
pines. and il is stated that the regular
steamship lines wiz be unable 10 handle
the increased tonnage.
This situation offers an excellent op-
portunlty for the entrance Of new
competing line OF steamers into the field
and il is rumored that several capitalists
in this country are already considering
the matter.

For outing hats there is nothing nicer
han an unblocked Panama.
They are comfortable. and generally be-
coming.
Besides that they are very easy to roll
or fold for packing.
Soft French felts are very nice for the
same purposes.
For both of these the colored satin
scarfs to be had now are particularly
.ovelv.
Plain coiors seem 10 be the more pop
ular az present, but of the others there
Is a great variety.
For these hats it is good idea to pro-
vide set OF small-headed, inexpensive
hatpins. in black or white or colors. They
may be had for as little as five cents
apiece. so that their loss is not a thing
TO be mourned, nor will they be likely TO
catch at things. or fall out IN the course
OF rough mountain excursions.

Picnic Diversions.

A picnic is always supposed to be a
delightsome affair. but nevertheless the
hostess knows the dullness that some
times settles down upon one.
There are many novel ways OF pre-
venting such an occurrence and keepine
the guests constantly amused. One very
ecod plan is to have the guests hunt for
their food. The hostess places all the
edibles in a number OF tin boxes. these
are then hid and when the guests ar
rive they find a tablecloth with flowers
menu cards. and dishes arranged on il
but no sign OF any food They are then
sent out in couples to search for the
goodies, and prizes are awarded TO the
most successful
A lantern picnic is a very pleasant
after-dinner diversion. The coffee. ices
and fruit are hidden and guest is
placed on guard, with instructions 10
fash light at regular intervals. Other
guests armed with lights disperse in
different directions. and the search be-
comes very exciting. A prize Is awarded
to the discoveTers Of the hidden feast
and their success is announced by the
pealing Of a bell hung on a tree
