THE SLIPSHOD MIND.
A Bane to Its Owner and to the World
at Large.

A Bane to Its Owner and to the World
at Large.
The individual with shipshod ap-
pearance, says Ruth Cameron, Is a
heavy burden for himself and the
world, but the individual with the slip
shod mind is a greater. You know
them as well as do, the men and wo-
men who never face any issue fairly
and squarely, who leave their thoughts
always at tag ends, who never try to
look ahead and plan their lives to some
good end, but who weakly say they'd
rather not know what's coming, for
when ignorance Is bliss It's folly to
be WISE" think the devil made that
maxim just for those people and con-
graduated himself when he had done
it, for it's the DEVILS most important
business, you know, to supply fools
with good sounding Qualifications Of
their folly, and that's such a very
good one. I hate that maxim. can't
imag gine anything more foolishly untrue,
but how many times I've heard slip
shods quote it in explanation Of their
hanging shoestrings Of thought or run
down heels Of indecision. I know q
girl who whenever she is late for an
appointment-which she is nine times
out Of ten-f1rmly turns her eyes away
from the clocks along her route so that
she need not be reminded Of how
abominably late she is. when ignor-
ance is bliss tits folly to be wise," she
quotes In explanation. Now, am
pretty sure that If she would punish
herself by craning her neck to see ev-
cry clock she possibly could and burn
ing the record Of her tardiness deep
into her brain she would be less likely
to be late the next time. 1t is the
same girl who will never look over
her bills when she thinks she has spent
more money than she ought to have.
when ignorance is bliss" she cheer
fully tells me- "'tis folly to be wise,"
and goes calmly on toward the inevi-
table crash from the ruins of which
some long suffering relative has to pull
her.
The shipshods are always drifters.
They go with the tide. They don't
know exactly where it's going to take
them. They're not at all sure but that
If they sat down and thought 1t over
they might not find 1t wasn't taking
them to the places where they really
want to go. But for that very reason
they do not sit down and think, for
when ignorance Is bliss 'tis folly to
be WISE" you know. But the bliss that
is bought at the price Of ignorance Is
apt to be pretty costly one, and my
heartfelt advice to any one who is en-
joying that sort is to commit the folly
of being wise as soon as possible, for
If you act before it Is too late you will
probably be able to win in exchange
for the slipshod, uncertain, uneasy
bliss Of ignorance the sane, we'll found
ed happiness of look-things- in the
face wisdom.
And unless you're an incurable slip
shod you'll find it pays.

Of increase is that Of 998 miles, or 81
per cent in Africa, followed by 1851
miles, an increase Of per cent, in
North America, and 2,917 miles, rep
resenting an increase Of Ii per cent
in Europe. The greatest amount OF
construction in European countries
was that in Russia, where 1,625 miles
Of new track were built; France was
next with 431 miles, and Germany
built AL miles. The largest additions
in Asia were made in British India
where 900 miles were built, China
coming next with 464 miles. In South
Africa, the largest addition was In
! British South Africa, where the mile
age was increased 81 per cent by the
addition Of 1862 miles.
During the decade from 1897 to 1907
there was extraordinary activity In
the building Of railroads throughout
the world, 140,137 miles Of new rail-
road being built in that time, repre-
senting an increase Of 23a per cent
The largest gain was in North Ameri-
ca The statistics Of S5 per cent OF
the railroads owning the total mileage
given above show that there is a total
capital invested Of nearly s42,000,O00,-
900. If the same rate Of cost has OBJ
tanned in the railroads Of which statis-
tics were not available, the total out
lay on railroads, from their inception
to the present time, must be nearly
$50, ,OO0, 100000. This would represent
an investment of about $31.59 for each
inhabitant Of the globe at the present
time-Scientific American.

The Railways of the World.

America still continues, by wide
margin to lead the world in the extent
of its railway system. One Of a total
of 594,S67 miles Of railroad in the
whole world, 26S,O5S miles are located
in North America. This Is but little
less than the total for the three conti-
nents of Europe, Asia and Africa; Eu-
rope having 199,3S5 miles, Asia 56,294
miles and Africa 1853 miles, total
of 274,i9S miles for the Old World.
South America has a total Of 34,911
miles and Australasia Of 17,700 miles
of railroad. which added to the fig
ures for North America, makes a
grand total for the New World Of $780,
669 miles.
The above figures form part of re-
port compiled by the Prussian minis
try of public works for the year 1907,
which shows that, compared with the
previous year, the largest percentage

"The police should have no contact
with saloons nor with enforcing the

their legitimate duty Of maintaining

Finally and most emphatically,
there is need of individual patriotism,

HAY FEVER RAVAGES.
More Prevalent In the United States
Than Other Countries.

In an exhaustive paper on hay fever
read at q meeting Of the Society Of
the Alumni Of Bellevue hospital, DR..
w. w. Carter said that the disease,
which will be making its annual yisi-
tation soon, was not recognized 100
years ago. Moreover, he said, this an
noying complaint is more prevalent in
the United States than in any other
country, and 1t has increased to q re-
markable extent in the last fifty years.
These are some Of the striking feat
ures Of the paper:
Hay fever is an affection of COM
paratively recent date; there is no
positive evidence that it was recogniz-
ed prior to 1919, when Bostock read
before the Royal Medico- Chirurgical
society Of London a paper entitled "A
Periodic Affection Of the Eyes and
Chest in which he described his own
Affections and attributed 1t to the sun
shine and heat in summer.
1.-THE remarkable increase of this
malady during the past half century
in this country at once arrests our at
tention and we seek an explanation.
There are within our boundaries in
the neighborhood of 100000 hay fever
subjects, and this number Is being rap
idly augmented. Hay fever. like 9TH
er reflex neuroses, is pre-eminently an
affection of civilized man, and is most
common in our large cities, where 1t
is increased with the increased de-
mands for nerve energy.
ION the other hand, the farmer who
comes in contact with more pollen
than any one else is practically never
affected. In this case the immunity
may have been acquired by constant
contact with the exciting cause Of the
disease; but what is more likely. it
comes as a compensation for his sim
pie habits Of life.
"Heredity plays a most important
part in this affection, and is recognized
by various writers in from 40 to so
per cent Of their cases. In my own
practice in fully rs per cent Of cases
more than one member Of the family
Is affected. In one New York family,
where the father and two uncles are
affected, five out Of seven children
have hay fever and two Of these have
also asthma.
"In regard to the use Of drugs, with
view to curing the affection, I must
say that my own experiences have
have been most unsatisfactory"
Palliative measures.-If the patient
is unable to go to hay fever immune
district, he should avoid excitement
and hurry. Exercise increases the
number Of re5pirations, consequently
the amount Of pollen inhaled. Then,
too, the perspiration Is solvent for
the pollen, and in the susceptible sub
ject causes the face to itch and burn.
Bright sunlight and dust aggravate
the symptoms.
The skin, bowels and kidneys should
be kept active and the diet must be
frugal Well known reflex excitants,
such as shell fish and strawberries,
should be avoided, and meat should be
taken only sparinsly.-New York
Times.

Heiqht of Humility.


Patrick F. Murphy, at an American
society banquet in Paris, recently told
his famous humility" story.
GAS we Americans" he said, "com-
pare our country with foreign lands,
and compare ourselves with the for
eigners we have no cause for humil-
ity. No cause to emulate the local
preacher.
"a poor local preacher was once
invited to a luncheon given by his
bishop to all the pastors Of the dio-
cese. These pastors were for the
most part eloquent, learned and sue
cessful men. The local preacher felt
very humble among them.
"a few minutes after the begin
ming Of the luncheon the bishop MOTTO
ed, at the foot of the long table, a
subdued commotion. Then a strange
and horrible odor fioated to him.
Dear me- he exclaimed, wrinkl-
ing up his nose, there's very odd
smell in the room, think
"a profound and awkward silence
ensued. Then, in the midst Of this
silence, the local preacher said calm
ly and modestly:
"Tt is only my egg, bishop
'The bishop turned to one of his
servants.

"Oh, no, bishop said the local
preacher, continuing to eat on. DO
not trouble, sir. 1t Is quite good
enough for me. ."-Philadelphia Ev-

The Cash Value of q Life.

A large insurance company has ap-
piled for permission to buy 5000
acres Of land on which to establish a
tuberculosis sanitarium. One Of its
policy-holders dies Of tuberculosis
every 80 minutes. Upon the conser-
vative estimate Of Prof. Irving Fish
er, president Of the committee Of one
hundred on national health, tuber-
culosis is seventy-five per cent pre-
ventable. In its early stages 1t can
generally be cured. An insurance
company can better afford to cure a
consumptive than to pay death loss.
The German government is taking
a leading role in consumption preven-
ton, as 1t does in other health-pro-
tective work and in guarding men
against factory accidents. New York,
Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania and 9TH
er states are establishing consumption
sanitariums as a matter Of business
economy. It is a policy that pays.
So much a life is worth. Is 1t not
odd that, when city and state govern
ments and even insurance companies
are. doing or planning so much, the
people most concerned, those menac-
ed by consumptives themselves, do
frequently so little?
Many men with delicate lungs and
frail physique can preserve their lives
for their families without losing a
days work by observing the three ba-
sic rules Of breathing fresh air win
ter and summer, or eating oftener
than three times day plain nourish-
ing food and Of avoiding unnecessary
physical exertion until the weight be-
gins to increase.
Why do they not do It? 1t would
pay.-New York World.

A Paiama One.

'aThe late Col. A. K. Mcclure was 6
brilliant raconteur," said a veteran
Glover club man. "I'll never forget
his pajama story.
"Col. Mcclure told this story at a
Glover club dinner in the old Bellevue
of Philadelphia. 1t was story abou,
the Spanish war.
There was a regiment, 1t seems
recruited from Conshohocken, CHINA
minson, wawa and Manunka Chunk
and the ladies of those Pennsylvania
towns got together after the regi-
ment's departure and made a lot OF
pajamas for the soldiers. Pajamas
were a new thing in those days;
smart, exclusive, and so forth; the
ordinary man wore a nightshirt.
"well, these pajamas, in half
dozen big package cases went duly
Cubawards, but no word Of their ar
rival ever came back. The ladies
waited about a month. Then they
wired to the colonel, a genial, whole
souled Conshohockener.
Anxious to know If you got the
pajamas last month
'aThe colonel had never heard OF
pajamas. He wired back:

probably fabricated by enemies to
ruin me politically. Admit am not

mas last month or any other time.

Geographical knowledge In 1892

But very little was known in regard
to the extent of the world in Aristo-
ties day, in the fourth century before
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 retrograded rath-
er than advanced. 1t was the popular
belief in the time of Columbus that
the world was fiat, though many con-
temporary scholars thought different
~. The great civilizations of the world
at that time were grouped around the
Mediterranean sea, although England
was a considerable power and the
Scandivanians were a 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 latter continent he
was perfectly oblivious of the fact. He
thought Haiti was Cipango or Japan
and for long time regarded Cuba as
a part of the mainland of Asia.

Didn't Want Justiee.-A well known
attorney Of this city had q client whose
case presented a mass Of technicali-
ties, of which his lawyer took every
possible advantage. Before the final
argument and handing down Of opin-
ion, however, the client was forced to
take a journey Of some hundreds OF
miles and was compelled to be absent
for several weeks. He arranged with
his attorney to flash him by telegraph
the result Of the trial Of his case, but
told him to so word his telegram that
the addressee alone would comprehend
it's import.
The result was the awarding Of a
verdict in favor of the litigant in
question, and his delighted counsel
sent him the following message:
