Learn to Walk Erect.

If you are walking along the street
and wake up to the fact that you are
carrying yourself poorly, take the
mental attitude of standing erect, as
we'll as the physical one.
Look at the men you meet and inn
aglne that each one of them owes you
a dollar; put even a suggestion into
your position.
Hold your head we'll back; look peo-
pie squarely in the face.
This will not only give the impress
sion to others that you possess the
lower you want. but 1t will actually
tend to bring that power.
Keep the neck against the collar.
If constantly persisted in an erect
carriage will soon become very nat
ural and there will be no need Of
thinning of it.

ROARTY PUTS ON GOLOSHES
Bases Hard Winter Prophecy on Jer-
sey Farmers Thick Crop
Of Whlskers.

Verona. N. J.-Columbus Roarty of
Greenwood Lake made his annual Wis
itation here to announce the weather
for the coming fall and winter. Be
fore giving out his private tips he was
in earnest confab with the corner
grocery man Columbus was inQuir-
ing about the market quotations on
goloshes and ear muffs a. week days,
and drove a hard bargain by trading
fat pullet that had stopped laying
and set Of mosquito screens for the
cold weather protectors.
The prophecies of Columbus Roar
ty-he refuses to call them prognosti-
cations or even predictions-have
been accepted for thirty years here
abouts as only a little in advance of
fact. He is so sure about the weather
that he always buys his winter sup
plies In summer, and the reverse. An
his prophecies are based ON signs from
nature. After he had traded with the
grocer he gave out the signs.
Were going to have a mighty cold
winter" said Columbus. Everything
points to a cold fall and a rip-roaring
winter. For one thing. have you no
ticed this seasons corn. Every ear
has grown long whiskers, and that's a
sure sign. The corn seems to have
the sense Of Morris County granger
in this respect. A wise farmer1l grow
a good crop of whiskers as winter ad-
varces. The harder the winter the
longer and thicker the whiskers. The
same way with the corn. I've never
noticed longer breezes than they have
this season.
"You may have noticed. too. that
the sunflower blossomed early. That
means that We'll have an early frost
anc early snow. We will have a bliz-
zard of the 1888 brand along the mid
die of November. Then, look at the
apple trees. I can't remember when
we had such a poor crop. That means
that the trees are storing up all their
sap and energy against a hard spell
of weather and long winter. In sum-
mers before mild winter there is al
ways a fine crop of apples. The pres
ent condition, by the way, too, means
a hard winter for the lover of apple
jack.
CAS- a clincher might say that the
cabbages are on to the fact that we
are going to have a record-breaking
winter. When a man says cabbage
head to mean an ignoramus, he does
not know what he is talking about,
for the cabbages are the wisest of
vegetables. Every head of cabbage on
my farm this summer is growing
thick, tough leaves-and all because
they are providing warm coverings for
the cold weather that they know we're
going to buck up against this win
ter"

The Shirt of Work,

The amount of work which each
man accomplishes during the day de-
pends upon other factors than the
mere hours of labor, and the most i'm
portant of these factors is the spirit
in which the work is done. The spirit
of the days work will depend upon
the personal relation which exists be-
tween the office and the workshop. If
the employer is k-own 10 be interest
ed in the welfare of his men, they
will be, more truly than otherwise,
his retainerS, more Jealous for the
prosperity OF his business; but if his
relation to them is that of a taskmas-
ter, they will be his slaves, merely,
and quite capable of any treachery.
The effort of the employer who would
gain the loyal service of his men
must be to preserve in every possible
way the individuality of the employee,
to emphasize his manhood. and thus
to increase his self-respect.-J. T. Lin

The Impulse of COURAGE.

In many cases courage is merely
instructive. Many a man has distin-
guished himself in the performance Of
some act of heroism the thought Of
which caused him completely to col
lapse when the danger was over. The
same instinct which leads a man to
Dodge when about to be struck will
lead him, without waiting to take
counsel of his judgment, to risk his
life in the performance of some heroic
act The impulse of courage is just
as natural as the impulse of fear, and,
however much cultivation may lead
individuals to dislike physical danger,
so long as there are Carnegie medals
to distribute there will probably be
no lack Of persons worthy to receive
them,

his Wlde-AWake PatientS.
A French specialist has come to the
rescue of persons afflicted with in
somnia. His method is somewhat
vaguely described as 'lulling the
wideawakes to Inconsistencies much
as babies are put to slumber.
"It is perfect palace of peace that
he has opened in lovely Touraine.
Here is never a disturbing sound.
The silence is broken only by the abb
solutely monotonous and soothing
tick, took, tick of solid grandfather
clocks, and the scarcely perceptible
drip of unseen fountains.
Everything is seen through ceru-
lean haze, everything moves in list
slippers, the air is fresh but full Of
faint perfume. Before the eyes of
very refractory patients slowly re-
volve colored balls, not the smallest
rose leaf is allowed to crumple in any
bed, each beip so designed that there
is no possibility of the body growing
weary. Here, in fact, the wooing Of
sleep has been made positive sci
ence, and it is said no one can keep
awake here, however hard he may
try"

Husbandless HONEYMOON,

There will be a very unique social
affair In Atchison soon. A certain
girl has never married, and as all YER
sisters married and enjoyed pretty
clothes and wedding presents, her
father announces that he wants to do
as we'll by her, and will give her a
mock wedding.
She will have as much money to
spend on clothes as If she we're to be
a bride, and after she has them all
made her father win give her party
and notify all the kin that they must
carry presents as If to bride. Then
re will send the girl on trip to the

Sermons in Ancient Times.

st. Augustine's sermons lasted
about eighteen minutes, but in that
ancient day it was no uncommon thing
to have several at the same service.
When two or more bishops were pres
ent it was usual for them and the
presbyters to preach one after the
other, reserving the last place for the
highest dignitary. Some consolation,
however, was to be found in the fact
that applause was permitted and
many of st. Chrysostom's sermons
we're hailed with the tossing of gar
ments and waving of handkerchiefs-"

Ianuuaue of Ants,

Insects carry on conversation
among themselves, and while this is
dore by means of their feelers they
are not entirely dependent upon
them.
"a whole colony" says NJ. Bouwer,
'in an ant house or q beehive often
responds instantaneously to a signal
which may have been given without
contact. 1t is interesting to see an
ant laborer for whom burden is too
heavy go to a fellow, make a sign or
give a certain touch with his feeler
and then see the second insect Join
the first in lifting or moving the OBJ
ject."

STOVES IN THE SHOES.
No Danger Of Cold Feet with This
Kind of Eootoear

NO Danger OF Cold Feet with This
Kind Of Footgear.
People who are troubled with cold
feet may take heart. In Germany
there has been patented a contriv-
ance described as "heatable shoe"
The heel is followed out, and in this
hollow is a receptacle for a glowing
substance similar to that used in
Japanese hand-warmers. Between
the soles, imbedded in asbestos COW
ers, is a rubber bag which is filed
with water.
The heating substance in the shoe
keeps the water warm. and it circu-
lates while the wearer is walking,
thus imparting a pleasant warmth to
the foot. A small safety-valve is pro-
vided, so that the bag cannot burst
The warmth given by the sole new
er rises above 20 degrees Fahrenheit
and will last about eight hours. 1t
is claimed that the sole is not un-
reasonably thick, being only slightly
thicker than that of a wet-weather
shoe.

Overcome Adversity.

The waves which sorrow lashes up
around us stand high between us and
the world and make our ship solitary
in the midst of haven full of vessels.
Cannot one do like the fair sun, and
go under the waves and yet come back
again. And yet, after all, If you look
upon his going down rightly there is
no such thing in reality.-Richter.

Until recently New York was a
great dairy State. 1t more than sup
piled this city with its butter, milk
and cheese. To-day We go far West
for the greater part of our butter and
eggs. The States of the Mississippi
Valley supply the New York break
fast table. The commission merchant
is driven to go further and further
West and South for his consignments
of farm produce.
The very rapid increase in popula-
ton has a double effect First, there
are greater number of people to be
fed, particularly in the large cities,
who do not raise any Of their food
supply; secondly, there is decrease
in the available acreage in Eastern
States, owing to the spreading out Of
communities. Every new town that
springs up or expands into a city
draws first on its own immediate VI
cinity for farm products, and there.
by decreases the supply that former
ly was shipped to the metropolis
THUS everywhere the general de-
mand for food products Is increasing,
while the available supply grows very
little larger. The first effect of the
demands Is to raise prices at initial
points. The farmer can ask and re-
ceive higher prices for everything he
raises than five and ten years ago.
There is steady upward movement
in all market prices.
Examine almost any staple on the
1io4 h,ykf ~
find the average price from the dairy
onward has had an mvarying rise.
The producer, think, has had the first
and largest benefit of this increase.
"The longer distance from which
New York must bring it's fresh food
supply naturally leads to some in
crease In the cost Of transportation.
Only a very small part Of the total
comes from nearby regions. The
truck gardens of long Island have
been turned into building lots. The
milk trains start 200 miles or more
away from the city. Iowa butter is
sought after. The States Of the South
furnish us with vegetables.
But 1t is not merely these special
conditions that Is raising the cost OF
living. The real causes lie further
back. The population is growing enor
mously. We are wanting and getting
better qualities of food. The demand
is going ahead at such rapid pace that
1t is overtaking the supply. The re
suit is inevitable-higher prices
There is the answer to your ques
ton"

New Fruit for California,

California is to try acclimating the
Korean wild fig. The fig, growing on
hardy vine, on trees, trellises and
hedgerows to a height OF 80 feet,
beers a delicious fruit. Some of the
seed has been sent to the department
of agriculture, California State uni
versity. The fig grows wild in Ko-
rea and has proved of great value
there.
