housekeeping In Pspua.

European housekeeping in Papua Is
.charmingly simple. Everything arriv-
cd in a tin. for the most part ready for
us. Meat, milk, butter, vegetabes-all
stood in tins in neat rows i'm the store
room. A diet of timed stu!fs grew
rather monotonous Mt times. but we
were able occasionally to vary it.
Sometimes IL man would arrive with Il
live turtle, which he would sell for two
sticks of tobacco, costing threepencc.
The wrctcled turtle would be killed
and cut up, but would still insist on
quivcrins in a most realistic manner
even when placed OH the fire to cook.

one the Kitchen would be found lined

Contrary 10 popular belief, the devil

an official publication issued by the
Institution, Washington,

and yollns. or small fishes Rarely does
one prey on large fishes"
DR.. Gill says that in i, number of re-
spects the young devillsh grows up
under nursing and training remarkably
like that of Il human being. 1T is noul'-
ished, for instance. from it's mother's
milk. 1t is a popularity of The devil

Luck In Golf.

Luck, as will readily he understood.
is Il factor that enters very largely
into golf Perhaps the most notable
case on record is that of Jamie An
derson when competing for the cham
pionship ut Prestwick in 1878. He had
just teed his ball for the seventeenth
drive when a little girl standing
among the spectators remarked that
he had unconsciously placed it just in
front of the proper line. Although
nobody else had noticed the fact, this
proved on examination by the referee
to be correct. Thcrcupon Anderson
tced his ball again in a fresh position
we'll behind the line and made a drive
which landed him In the hole and
eventually enabled him to win the
match. If. however, lie had played it
from the original spot he would have
been penalizcd Il stroke and have lost
the championship. Clearly, then, luck
on the links is something to be taken
into consideration whatever nonbeliev-
crs may say to the contrary Railey's

REAL LITERARY LABOR.
Example ct Charles Dudley Warner.

Example eft Charles Dudley Warmers
Infinite Painstaking.
The extraordinary pains and patience
with which Charles Dudley Warner
did his literary work are shown In an
sccount given by writer in the New
Amstel magazine of the strenuous way
In which MIR. Warner produced an
obituary notice some years ago.
Professor Edward L. Youmans was
q close personal friend of Mr.. Warner.
and on that account when Mrs. YOU
mans died the editor OF a daily paper
asked Mr.. Warner to write n sort OF
personal appreciation of her. This he
consented to do.
half past IL, when he went to lunch.
Returning at o'clock, lie worked
without interruption until 4 O'Clock.
when he turned over TO the editor
what he had written.
Yet the work was not complete. Mr..
Warner read the first proof and in sue
cession three revised sheets
Each time lie made change after
change in phraseology, seeking out the
one right word, while even in the
nicely OF paragraphing he seemed to
make clearer what he desired to ex-
press. Nor did the close revision end
with the marking of the last proof
After the paper had gone to press
and the first sheets had been brought
up to the composing room for an o. II.
Mr.. Warner looked wistfully at the
editor and observed:
Would you object to lifting the
form? I see sentence In the last
paragraph that might be somewhat
changed She was too good, you know,
to have slovenly tribute paid to her. .
Even the printers refused to get an
CRY over the delay, and forthwith the
form was sent up and changes went ON
for an hour. At last. though publca-
tion was delayed fully two hours, the
editor, but not Mr. Warner. had the
supreme satisfaction of knowing that
the work was as nearly perfect as lu-
man art could make it, and the edition
was sent out.

What He Was Allowed to Do.

a Presbyterian delegate who was
accustomed to bcin. sent to denomina-
tional conventions to extend fraternal
greetings was delegated TO the general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
Rising to speak, he said it was al
WAYS an interesting study to him to
note the different receptions accorded
him at the conventions of the various
denominations.

DAY Dreams.

4 You have n particular piece of
work to do. get il done. Don't wait
for the mood to strike YOU
Don't dream. There are more pre-
cious hours wasted in day dreams
than any of us would care to think
about il we counted them.
The queer thing about day dreams
is that so few of them ever amount
10 anything. The dreamer is only
scmiconscious when building his air
castles, so, as a rule they have no
practical foundation.
While YOU are nj work, keep your
mind on what You are doing and do
not let il wander eff to what you
would like to he doing. Only by keep
ing Your mind OH what yc.! are doing
now can You bring i: fresh and keen
To The things You like doing best when
the time for doing them comes Think
Ing too much about even great happi-
ness takes The edge" off i'll.
The best time for day dreams is
after You have gone 10 bed. New
