much duck and suffered Indigestion
thereby, we suggest that he consult a
quack doctor.
Says a poet: IF misfortune over
takes you, smile" Very good advice.

far. like the Minneapolis congregation

text from st. Paul.

READY-MADE LEMONADE.

Probably no beverage is more gem
orally acceptable than lemonade.
The following rule for lemon syrup
is especially good, as by keeping a
quantity of this syrup on hand, a
glass of lemonade may be made at a
moments notice, and will be found
unusually palatable. Make a thick
syrup from six pounds Of white SUI
gar, with a little water. Extract the
juice from one dozen lemons, and
crate into it the outer yellow rind
of six. Let this stand for twelve
hours, strain, and add to the cold
syrup, mixing thoroughly. Keep in
a cold place and, when wanted, place
a tablespoonful in a glass, and fill
with ice water.-Julia ID. Cowles in
The Fruit Grower.

Bolivia's Electrical Storms.

Owing to the peculiar typographical
formation of Bolivia, electric and other
phenomena are of constant occurrence,
the principal zone where such dis
turbances take place being the Att
planicie, or grand plateau. AS the at
mosphere is heavily charged with cleo
tricity both in summer and winter.
dry or electric storms are Of frequent
occurrence both on the plateau and in
the valleys. Before the rainy season
sets in electrical accumulation becomes
considerable on the plateau region, its
most violent manifestations taking
place toward the eastern section of the
tablelands. An electrical storm in these
regions is always a most imposing
spectacle. as the tremendous force of
the wind, almost equal to a hurricane.
and the heavy electrical accumulation
in the clouds produce terrible atmos-
pheric explosions and violent detona-
lions, while the surface of the ground
sparkles and crackles.

GeoqraphicaI KNOWLEDGE In 1892,

But very little was known in regard
to the extent OF the world in Arts
totle's day. in the fourth century be-
fore Christ, and but very little more
was known about it 1900 years later,
in the time Of Columbus. In 1000
years the world had in reality retro
graded rather than advanced. 1t was
the popular belief in the time Of Co
lumbus that the world was fiat. though
many contemporary scholars thought
differently. The great civilizations of
the world at that time were grouped
around the Mediterranean sea. al
though England was q considerable
power and the Scandinavians were n
great maritime people. But Europeans
at that time knew but little Of Asia
and but little of Africa. and America,
Of course. was undreamed of. Even
after Columbus had discovered the lat
ter continent he was perfectly oblivi-
GUS Of the fact. He thought Haiti was
Cipango or Japan and for q long time
regarded Cuba as a part OF the main
land of Asia.

Vacation hy Think,

Make a compact with your soul to
take a vacation and the way is simple.
There are portions Of your time over
which You have control. Probably
your evenings and your Sundays are
your own. Set apart a month or SO.
Eliminate the self assigned tasks for
those hours out Of business and give
yourself up to the pursuit Of pleasure.
Get others to join you. Call a vacation
club. Adopt a real vacation spirit and
go in for a good time. Resolve never
to speak Of work out of business hours,
but to fill to the full that time which
is your own with %recreations which
most appeal to you. Did you ever sing?
Sing now. Did you ever paint? Paint
now. Remember natures gifts to you
and find occasion to praise nature
within as well as MISUNDERSTANDING.

Wasted All Three Wishes.

An Irish legend has it that a good
fairy once visited an old couple and
promised them that any three wishes
they would make would be granted.
After racking their brains for some
time in an cndeavor to discover what
they desired most the couple decided
to visit the county fair TO see if some
thing there would suggest what they
wanted. They did so. and, after ram
bling around all day and not seeing
anything that exactly suited them, to-
ward evening they found. themselves
before a display OF kitchen utensils.
Among them was a soup ladle, cheap,
but likely to appeal to a woman. so the
old woman in an absent moment said,
ooh, | wish | had one of those" and
Immediately she had it. The old man
was so enraged because his wife had
thoughtlessly thrown away one valua-
BILE wish that he retorted, Il wish that
was stuck down your throat" and i'm
mediately this was done. rhereupon
he was at one sorry at what he
wished, and the only thing left to do
was to wish the ladle out again. So
all three wishes went for naught.

PecuIiarities of Crime.

One of the s%trangest peculiarities of
human nature is its inclination to imi-
tate the misdeeds of others. Crime is
epidemical. A particularly dreadful
murder. the details Of which are set
forth in all the newspapers, often has
the effect of inducing similar crimes.
One of the reasons and probably the
chief reason why public executions
were abolished in England was that in
stead Of acting as Il deterrent the exc
cution had the contrary effect Of incit-
ing to murder.
Some years ago a woman of Geneva,
named Lombardi, killed her foul chill
dren. She admitted that she had been
reading of Il woman who killed her
husband, and the very circumstantial
account had made her wish to initiate
the crime, but as her husband was
dead she killed the children. This is
Only one instance out of hundreds
which have come to our notice.
The infectious nature of self murder
receives Il striking testimony in the
following incident: DR.. Oppenheim Of
Hamburg had to examine the body OF
a man who had cut his throat and had
died after some days Of suffering. The
medico told his assistant that death
would have been immediate If the nan
had made the cut in a way which he
Illustrated, and he was startled two
days later to learn that his assistant
had attempted to commit suicide by
decorating himself in that very man.
