WISE WORDS.

Worry is half of WEAKNESS.
Paradise is not found by fleeing
from pain.
Revenge never is so sweet as when
foregone.
The critical eye remains longest in
ignorance.
No man is undone as long as he has
a work to do.
You cannot bless men until you be-
lieve in them.
He is lost already to whom sacri-
fee appears as folly.
The saGdest slavery is that of being
ruled by our pleasures.
The sins we wink at to-day are the
ones we wed tomorrow.
Spiritually the most helpless are
those who refuse to help.
Life barriers that resist all force
crumble before friendship.
The fool is known by Offering his
forethought after the event.
To-morrow's burdens always prove
too much for to-day's back.
You have no right to set up your
fad as another mans faith.
Keep the heart healthy and happi-
ness will take care of itself.
Nothing heals our own wounds
quicker than helping others.
Men are to be known by their aims
rather than by their origins.
If you would be far-sighted you
must learn to live on the heights.
It's a sad day when a man lets his
interests determine his principles.
The secret of success lies some
where between wishing and willing.
The weariest man in this world is
the one who is running from work.
Sometimes fleeing from the devil
is only a pretext for fleeing from
duty.
Religion has no home in the man
who does not show his religion at
home.
Our own sins grow fast behind our
backs while we are gazing at the
faults OF our neighbors.
1t is better occasionally to do
foolish act of charity than to com.
NIT the folly of an uncharitable life.
The man who can make his chill.
dren smile does not need to worry
over his inability to preach sermons.

THE CAUSE AND CURE OF
NERVOUSNESS.

DR.. Samuel McComb, the assistant
manuel Episcopal Church in Boston,
who last winter conducted Glass
for the Moral Treatment of Nervous
Disorders" writes in Harpers Bazaar
as follows:
valuable as is suggestion, it is
second in importance to moral re-
education After all, one of the
main roots of neurasthenic misery is
a moral one-egotism. The sufferer
thinks too much about herself. She
interprets the universe in terms Of
friendliness or hostility to her own
petty interests. She broods over real
or fancied ills; she becomes morbid
or melancholy; or she is the play
thing of representative conscience.
magnifying varied offences, the mere
crudities, it may be, of an unripened
experience, into fragrant crimes
against God and man. She passes her
time in dark and sombre reveries.
unable to do anything. a burden to
herself and her friends. Well is it
for such a sufferer if she fall into
the hands of physician who is also
a moralist and a psychologist He
will, by persuasion and sound in
struction, seek to change the centre
of gravity in her inner life; he will
warn her against the power OF atten-
ton and introspection to originate
and to develop states; he will stir her
latent interest and rouse her dormant
energies and capacities, in order to
make an end of fruitless inactivity.
and fill her days with peace and con-
tentment. The nervous woman
needs, above all things. mental and
moral re-education. She needs to
be taught how to keep healthy idea
in the focus of consciousness, and
how to keep unhealthy and morbid
ideas on the outskirts of her mind.
Her emotional nature requires dis.
cipline."

PHOSPHATE IN SOUTH SEAS.
Largest kown Deposits of High
Grade Phosphate.


The islands of the Pacific Ocean
contain the largest known deposits
Of high-grade phosphates. A London
company controls the deposits in
Ocean and Pleasant Islands, in the
Gilbert group The deposits on these
islands are estimated at 50,000,O0O
tons. of which scarcely 100000 tons
have been marketed. By the employ
ment of a large number OF Chinese,
japanese and natives the company
is now marketing 100000 to 800 900
tons a year, of which 100000 tons go
Japan, $4,000 to Australia and the
remainder to Europe. Europe also
receives yearly 100000 tons Of high
grade phosphates from Christmas Is
land and more than 100000 tons Of
lower grade phosphates from Tunis
and Algeria.
Notwithstanding the very large de-
posts owned by the London company,
the mining of phosphates pays so
we'll that not only that company, but
various other investors, have been.
and are, making constant efforts to
discover other phosphate deposits.
and in many islards deposits, small
in quantity and poor in quality. have
been discovered, as in the Ffjis. Re
Gently, however, phosphate of good
quality has been discovered on three
islands in the French colony of Ia
hiti and dependencies. These islands
Matahiva and Niau-lie
in the northwestern part of the Tua-
motu Archipelago of so atoll islands.
1t is also probable that deposits ex-
list on other islands of this group.
The deposits in Matahiva and Niau
are small, but the high grade de-
posits in Makatea are estimated at
100000 tons, with many million
more tons of an inferior quality. The
quality of this deposit ranges from
70 tt 80 per cent. The island has an
elevation of $50 feet-the highest of
the group-and an area of six to
eight square miles. Although many |
others are interested in these de. |
posits. they will be worked by
French company just formed in Paris
for that purpose. AS Makatea is
surrounded by coral reefs and has
no harbor. the phosphate will have
to be loaded at deep-sea moorings
outside the reefs. On account of the
expense incident thereto it will be
come time before the company can
make any considerable shipments,
out in the course of a few years it
IS considered that the capacity OF the
works will be 100000 tons per an
lum.
AS Makatea is so near Papaete, the
centre of this colony. the
of the phosphate deposits
IN that island will add largely to the
business and prosperity of the col
)ny.-Record.

The Rise of the Humble Yarn.

At length the humble yam, hitherto
unrecognized except in certain synco-
pated classics sung by the dusky deni-
zens at the South, has risen to the
dignity of a national problem. Erst-
while the persimmon was thrust into
the limelight through decree which
knocked the quicker out. though ma
ture made the pucker first, as a sort
of basic principle, ard built the per-
simmon around it, just as the Italian
builds his macaroni and the Dutch
man his pretzel around a hole in the
air. The persimmon is pertinent in
any discussion of the yam, for the per,
simmon and the yam are perpetual
where the 'possum blooms.
Which reflection is suggested by
remark in President Roosevelt's re-
cent message on Panama. While dis
cussing isthmian food problems, he
said: there was much complaint es-
pecially among the bachelors, as to
the food they got . especially
as regards yams," and he added the
married men and women, and the
more advanced bachelors" expressed
some dissatisfaction because they
generally could not get yams. Seat.

Enormous Lumber Output.

Notwithstanding the cry of timbe.
famine, the soaring price of lumber
and the disastrous effects of money
panic late in the last year, the total
lumber cut of the year 1907, accord
ing to figures made public by the
Census Bureau, is 2,7G5 million feet,
board measure, more than that Of
1906. The total cut was 40,256 million
feet.
The production of lath throughout
the country fell from 1913 million in
1906 to 1864 million in 1907, but the
production of shingles ran from H.
S5S million in 1906 to II $50 million in
1871.

AN AIRSHlP OF 1843.
In Design 1t Was Similar to the Mod
ern Acceptance.

In the window of a booksellers
shop in Shaftesbury avenue, London,
may be seen a colored print of an
airship which in many respects re
sembles the machine with which Will
bur Wright has made such wonder
full progress in aerial navigation.
The drawing, which was published
by Alderman in 1S43, was dedicated
to the directors of the Aerial Transit
Company. 1t shows the Ariel in full
flight over green fields, with groups
Of nicely dressed spectators gaZ
ing up at the wonderful sight. In
the distance lies London, with the
dome of st. Paul rising above the
smoke Of the great city. The ma
chine is represented as of consid-
cradle size, with hull like that of
a ship.
Overhead is stretched huge
spread of canvas. arranged so as to
form a horizontal plane set at right
angles to the line of flight. In the
rear are two big fans, worked ap-
parently by steam power. and tail
rudder, while atop of all the red
ensign flies stiffly out to signify the
triumph of British invention as we'll
as the rapid pace at which the paten-
tees hoped their airship would travel
also included in the scheme The
whole design is strikingly similar in
conception to the less ambitious and
more successful airship of 1908.
Since then box planes have come
into use, and the petrol motor has
decreased weight and increased pow
er at the same time. But that re-
cent experimenters should have
adopted plan SO closely resembling
that of the Ariel which never real
lied its inventors hopes, makes one
wonder whit he would have accom-
plished on more tentative and hum
