HUMANITY Is A STRANGE CONFIRMATION.

A great many good people think
you must do things in a certain way
or else you are all wrong. All this
produces curious results at times.
Most of as know men and women who
never think of saying prayer or hav-
ing solemn thought till they get In
side of church wall. The common
or ignorant mind is Impressed by sur
roundings and ceremonies. The aver
age man likes to level things and pat
tern all others after himself. He is
not quite sure of his own position and
tries to find comfort In association.
Hence, sects and congregations. Men
swear on the street and pray when
they get under spire. All of which
isamusing but very human. Bagehot
has wisely and wittily said that "our
real ruler Is our next door neighbor. !"
That Is, we are ruled by the common
opinion about us. Hence we must do
things in the common way or we are
all wrong. While it is a good thing

and pure woman do not. But their
integrity is doubted. The Infinite is

earth and sky is often more inspiring
to q true soul than the songs of paid
choir, and more wisdom in the sermons

HOW TO LIVE LONG.

A Paris contemporary has been in
structing its readers how to live to a
good age, drawing its conclusions
from the lives and writings of distin-
guished men.
Michael Eugene Chevreul, the cele-
brated French chemist, who lived Io3
years, was always very frugal in re-
gard to his diet and considered happy
disposition to be an important factor
contributing to his long life.
Victor Hugo had tablet on the
wall of his house with the following :
"Rising at 6, dining at 10, supping
at 6, retiring at 10 make the life OF
man ten times ten.'
The secret of Moltke's health lay
in his great moderation in all things.
Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson de-
clared that those who wished to reach
a century must neither smoke moi
drink. They should eat sparingly oi
meat, work as little as possible by arti-
fetal light, trouble themselves little
about making a fortune and never
allow ambition to rule their lives

SECRET OF WEALTH.

Grow rich Of course, it will gen.
orally be necessary to cut out all the
luxuries, and a good part of the
necessaries, but if you do this it will
suffice III time to make you rich. Be
a slave, be slave to the money god
lin time you will win. Go along
and work the thing out save, and
save and still save. Skimp and skimp
and still skimp. Sacrifice the pres
ent sacrifice, if need be, those who
are presently dependent upon you
sacrifice everything and save. You
are bound in the end to be rich. You
think of being rich An automobile
or a pair of horses A house, a
horse and a home. Think of being
rich
Of course, maybe, there is a lot to
sacrifice. When at last you get rich
1t is possible, or even likely, that you
will be old. It is even possible that
folks will look at you and say, II
remember the time when he did not
have cent, but he was a good saver,
and now he has an automobile. "
And the folks will say, eyes, I re-
member, too.', But getting rich is
easy. There is no doubt about that.
The thing is so simple All you have
to 90 is to live on less than you make.
And who can not do that!

HUMAN MACHINES BAD DAYS.

Just as watch on certain days is
In bad working order, for no account
able reason, so the human body has
its bad" days at fairly regular in
tervaIs.
The above remarkable theory is
contained in newly published scien-
tifc work, "The Critical Days Of
Men," by the we'll known Viennese
specialist, DR.. Hermann Swobada.
These bad" days, he says, are en-
tirely independent of any mistakes in
diet or mode of life. They occur
without any external cause, and the
troubles may be headaches, heart
troubles, indigestion, nervous excit-
ability or lassitude.
DR.. Swobada states that the criti-
cal conditions recur usually every
twenty three, or sometimes twenty.
eight, days, while the results of over
exercise or excess, if they do not ap-
pear at once, often come up exactly
forty.six or forty. nine days after
wards.
This theory applies also to mental
phenomena, grief for the loss of a
relative being serious for twenty three
days and then suddenly passing away.
Lastly, according to DIR. Swobada,
men succumb on a critical day-when
the machinery of the body is in bad
working order.
A well known surgeon, who is con.
nected with large London hospital,
was seen by the Daily Mirv0y yester-
day.
II have been keenly interested in
this subject for some time," he said.
"Dr. Swobada's theory is, in my
opinion, of great importance to medi-
cal science. 1t must be generally ad-
mitted that men have certain days
when they feel unaccountably de.
pressed and i'll through some unknown
cause.
ut is my view that these bad
days are often caused through the
weather, particularly when there is
change from cold to a warm tenn
perature. Bad days are most preva-
lent in spring and autumn.
cat such times the nervous system
is more easily disturbed and the suf-
ferer is far more liable to catch dis
eases than at ordinary times.
.'On bad days one is also mental
ly disturbed. Out of balance crimes
are committed on such days--particu-
larly when they occur in the spring
and autumn.
every man knows from the mo-
ment of waking when he is in for a
bad day. What should he do? It
may sound impracticable, but my ad-
vice is as follows
"He should go out into the coun-
try by himself, and, if it is summer,
lie in a field and think of nothing but
cows. He should also avoid eating
meat"

A POOR SPECULATION.

The town Of Athol, Massachusetts,
is suffering from the longevity of one
its residents, as noted in recent Of
news item. A carpenter who had
saved $o,o lent It to the township
in 1876, the conditions being that he
receive an annuity Of $40 year till
he died. his wife $3.50 during her
lifetime, and their daughter $I2o a
year as long as she lived. The
carpenter died a few years ago at the
age of 90, the wife has since died at
the age of SO, and the daughter is
still alive and enjoying good health.
Up to the>last report the town has
paid SIC, 200 for the original $4,000.
This recalls similar experience OF
a little town in Western New York.
A veteran of the War of 1872 left the
Methodist church in that village his
little fortune when he was seventy
five years old on condition that the
church pay him IS per cent. on the
principal till he died. That looked
like good bargain and the church
accepted. The old man proceeded to
live until he was 1903, and for twenty.
eight years that church paid its fifteen
per cent.

BABY At IS BEGINS TO GROW.

Mildred Hart of London, England,
who, although 20 years old, has the
development of child of S, has at
last begun to grow by the aid of a
physician who In October last dag
nosed the case and discovered the
absence ofthe thyroid secretion. He
has been administering I2H grains
of the extract of the thyroid glands,
daily, since, with the result that the
girl has grown IN inches taller, has
cut several new teeth and has devcl-
oped ferocious appetite, which she
never shown before. The most won
derful change is said to be in her
mental condition. She has become
extraordinarily loquacious, using a
vocabulary she could not possibly
have developed in two months, show
ing that she had unconciously listen
ed to and stored up words without
the power to ilse them.

OON'Ts FOR GOOD ROADS.

visor OF New jerseys I,4oo miles o
high-grade roads, most of which were
inspected recently by the Maryland
Good Roads Commission. has pre-
pared number of "don'ts" for road
builders. These "don'ts," which are
the result of Mr.: Meeker's extensive
experience in roadbuilding, will, nc
doubt, be found as full of wisdom
when applied to Maryland roads as to
New Jersey roads. They are as fol.
lows:
Don't leave grass and weeds on the
shoulders and in the cutters.
Don't dig the mud out of the gut
tiers and throw it on the road.
Don't leave dirt in piles on the road.
Don't throw grass and weeds upon
the road surface.
Don't dump stone and gravel on an
kold road without first preparing the
surface to receive it, because you
thereby cause willful waste and woe
ft1l want.
Don't place new material on the
road without leveling and shaping it
so that the grade and cross-section of
the road will remain unchanged.
Don't expect travel to spread and
roll the new material; one-half the
money spent is wasted by this method.
Don't put new material on an old,
hard road surface before first picking
or loosening the old covering. To do
so is good for the quarryman and
gravel owner, but bad for the tax
payer and road user.
Don't try to do work without prop
er tools.
Don't leave your scarifier in the
shed.
Don't forget to use your sprinkling
wagon.
Don't let your steam roller be idle.
Don't think any old tools are good
enough for road work.
Don't use dull picks, broken show
els, dull scraper blades or broken and
leaky steam rollers.
Don't waste your rainy days.
Don't let water stand on your road.
Don't try to repair road in dry
weather without a liberal use of water.
Don't allow culverts or pipes to
become choked up.
Don't allow the outlets of under
drains to become stopped up.
Don't let water get under road.
Don't let ruts form.
Don't let the shoulders get higher
than the center of the road.
Don't let the road lose Its original
cross. section.
Don't fail to widen your fills at
every opportunity. No better place
for the mud, grass and weeds taken
off the road than on the sides of high
embankments.
Don't use guard rails If you can get
dirt to widen your road.
Don't bury stone road under mud.
Don't crown your road so high that
no one will travel on the sides.
Don't forget that the entire width
of road is intended for use.
Don't expect road to take care of
itself.
Don't fail to locate all good repair
material lying on or near the road.
Don't wait till you are ready to go
to work before you procure the neces-
sary materials for repair.
Don't be constantly changing your
road gang.
Don't let experienced men go sim
ply to give someone job.
Don't lose sight of the fact that road
repairing is trade and must be
learned.
Don't guess at the amount of ma
terial required. Measure and know.
Don't depend on someone else to
tell you what the condition of your
road Is.
Don't fail to visit every road Under
your care at least once a week.
Don't refuse TRY any new material
that may be offered, unless the same
has been proved bad.
Don't be satisfied with anything
but the best.

BY GEORGE Z. TACK.
Now comes the night,
Earth'E little day is DER
And we are spent and sore.
Sweet Is the light.
The starry light that hath no power to smite.
Yonder the moon
Holds its bright sickle keen
Above the meadows green.
Where insects Groom,
All safely hid the grasses hush amid.
Lo, the broad way
OF stars that far-off lies
By walls of Paradise,
And endless day
Day Of all Joy. like gold without alloy.
Heart of my heart,
Our love will never die,
Though dark may grow the sky.
Day shall upstart
In little while, and all the glad world smile.
Yon cleaning bar

With boats upon their lees,
At break Of day the boats will sail away.
So we abide,
The night of dark life through,
Knowing that God Is true,
And that the tide
win some day bear us to life's gold strand fair.

Lenox came slowly up the path from

sad that the animated conversation
ceased as he approached. Without
a word he laid the mail down and
handed Joe letter bearing the name

The old folks drew together, tensely
silent, as Joe leisurely tore open the
missive. He threw it aside with a
