ATTENTION A MOMENT, SMOKERS
More or Less Authentic Facts Are Put
Forward in This Story.

The users Of tobacco, it would ap-
pear, are subject to undreamed-of dan.
gers. A French medical journal tells
an interesting tale of man who while
smoking a pipe had serious fall.
Some time later a curious swelling
appeared on his tongue, and this, after
efforts had been vainly made to re-
duce it by common methods, was
found to contain fragment of the
pipe that had been driven into it at the
time of the fall. In another case an
ulcer on the soft palate of a patient
persisted for three years before it was
investigated and found to contain a
piece of cigar holder. How this lat
ter got there we are not informed, but
it appears certainNthat if these persons
had not been users of tobacco they
would have escaped much discomfort.
A word to the wise is sufficient!-Ex.

There is nothing that will convince

glycerine, as in d. D. d. Prescription,
cured him in thirty days after thirty
two years of suffering.

famous rarity in the vegetable
world of Borneo is the raffiesia, the
buah pakmah of Malays. The plant is
one of the most degraded of parasites,
and so completely does it submerge
itself in the tissues of it's host that the
only part which ever shows itself to
the external world is the enormous
flower. The diameter of the flower
measures about two feet, the odor is
repulsive and there is not one feature
of beauty to recommend it to man. 1t
appears, however, to hold an impor-
tant place in the pharmacopoeia of
the natives, which perhaps imagine
that the plant to which nature has
given SO uninviting an exterior must
possess some hidden virtue in the~way
of compensation. Various species oil
rafflesia are known in Borneo, and
oddly enough their hosts are In.
variably species of vine (cissus).

Women of the Future.

Mrs. Annie Nathan Meyer in one
of the February magazines says that
women, like negroes, proud of their
emancipation. have been trying to do
the things that men do, rushing into
already overcrowded professions, in
order to be Indifferent seconds. She
thinks 1t is now time to stop, and
that women and negroes should stick
to the things they did in the past.
She wants to know why pounding a
typewriter should be considered more
intellectual work than beating an ONE
let. AS women adjust themselves to
the new conditions the despised home
will take on new dignity.

American Democracy.

Privy Councillor Zuntz, on his re.
turn to Berlin, after a three-months'
visit to the United States, delivered a
lecture before the students of the In.
dustrial high school of that city, in
which he had much to say in praise of
American students and of the college
system under which they were trained.
Our students" he said, "can help
themselves financially only by teach
ing. The American student has the
advantage in this respect, because
without losing caste or dignity, he can
break stone, act as a waiter or porter,
or do work at any trade. 1t is not an
infrequent occurrence that a young
man acts as waiter at a gathering OF
people where he is received as an
equal as soon as his menial duties
have been performed"

MEASURE or TRUE GREATNESS
Success Never to Be Counted In Pilet
Of Dollars.

What an unfortunate thing that the
idea should be dinned into the ear Of
youth everywhere that 1t is disgrace
to fail-that is, to fail to make money
to accumulate property.
1t is not a disgrace to fail; but 1t is
a disgrace not to do ones level best
to succeed. Not failure, but low aim
is crime"
Multitudes of poor people to-day
who are not known outside of theii
own little communities are really
great successes when measured by all
that makes true greatness-their
heroic endeavors, their brave battle
for years with obstacles, playing o
losing game with heroism. Their
great patience and wonderful self-con
troll under the criticism of those who
do not understand them are evidence
that they have succeeded. The pos
session of noble character is the
greatest evidence in the world that
one has succeeded.
On the other hand, if a man has
gotten fortune, but has left his man
hood on the way to it; If he has bar
tered his good name in the process OF
getting 1t, he is still failure, no mat
ter how much money he may have
accumulated.
A clean record is the greatest kind
of success And how few men who
make big fortunes manage to save
their good name, to keep their record
clean!-Success Magazine.

WESLEY CALLED A vAoAeoNp.
Irish Grand Jury Dealt Hardly with
Founder Of Methodlsm.

The Irish Year Book for 1908, Just
issued at Dublin, contains bit of
history concerning John and Charles
Wesley that is not generally known to
Methodism. THIS account notes that
John Wesley arrived in Dublin on
Sunday in Ausa3t 1747. He had been
preceded by Jay preacher earlier in
the same year, who had gathered a
society numbering almost 800. These
Wesley describes as "strong in faith"
OF the Irish he writes, so civil
people in general l never saw either
in Europe or America" Charles
Wesley and other preachers followed
him and the Methodist song writer
heard his own tunes sung and whistled
as he went
Cork city was disturbed in 174S by
the advent of the new preachers. "A
local ballad singer gains temporary
notoriety as riot leader. Subsequently
the grand jury declared; I'VE find
and present Charles Wesley to be a
person of ill-fame, a vagabond and
common disturber of his majesty's
peace and we pray that he may be
transported
The movement had spread to Ulster
in 1850. At Limerick, in 1852, John
Wesley presided over the first
conference of the preachers. John
Wesley died in 1871, having made
more than two score cross-channel
journeys and having spent six years
of his life in Ireland, as well as
presiding at all the conferences from
1856 to 1878.
Notwithstanding the steady stream
of emigration the Methodist church in
Ireland has $50 ministers, 1858 Sunday
schools, with total of more than
$4,000 pupils and about $4,000
members.

NOT ENTIRELY TO HIS LIKING.
Guides Objection to Bear Too Much
Alive for Comfort.

Miss Geraldine Farrar, at luncheon
in her honor in Philadelphia, marveled
at the American hotel managers dis
like Of the dog.
No one objects to nice little dog
abroad" she said, "but over here they
fear dog as much as Pete Wilson
feared
But that is a story, bear story,
and must begin at the beginning.
"a party of easterners went bear
hunting in California. Pete Wilson
led the party, and day and night he
boasted Of his skill as a bear killer.
They got no bear on the hunt, and
Pete grieved terribly.
This is good enough grub he
would say, as he pitched into a cold
can of preserved meat, but the finest
meal in the world, in my opinion, is a
bear steak, grilled to turn over a log
fire.
Gimme bear Pete growled one
day. Gimme a good bear brile. I'm
gettin sick of this canned stuff
Look out!' cried a neighbor.
There's bear right behind you,
mani
pete gave one look. 1t was a bear,
sure enough. He turned very pale, and
bounded off into the woods.
We thought you liked bear? they
said sarcastically to him on his return.
So do said Pete, but that feller
wasn't well enough done.

BAD NOTES EASILY DETECTED.
Almost impossible to Impose Upon
Handlers of Money.

Incidentally 1t is interesting to note
that the skill which enables one to de-
tect a counterfeit comes not from a
study of counterfeits, but from a thor
ough and unconscious familiarity with
the genuine. If a man were pointed
out to you and you were told that some
day another who much resembled him
would try to impose upon you, you
would be pretty apt to fix his features
in your mind; you would not spend
any time looking at other people who
looked something like him, would you?
And the moment the impostor ap-
peared you would note that in this,
that or the other particular he failed
to meet the details of the other mans
face and figure. Just so 1t is in the
detection of counterfeits. A skilhul
teller in bank, counting money rap
idly, will involuntarily throw out a
note which in the slightest degree de-
parts from the well-known pattern
which is so strongly impressed on his
mental vision. That involuntary act
will nearly always prove to have been
justified, for the bill in 10 cases out of
20 will prove to be counterfeit, 1t is
because of this fact that when re-
quest is received from some one to
loan him collection of counterfeits
for the instruction of his cashiers, he
is advised to have the young men
study the genuine carefully, and there
will be no trouble in detecting the bad
notes.-National Magazine.

Athletic Aristocracy.

The Italian and Austro-Hungarian
newspapers are full of accounts of a
remarkable society cycle race in
which Countess Ilona Bethlen beat
the beautiful and athletic Princess
Letitia, Duchess d'Aosta, fervent de-
yotee of the wheel, as well as Signora
Barato, the most famous professional
woman cyclist in Italy. The latter, it
is said, was promised $4,000 by we'll
known firm of cyclist manufacturers
provided she came in first. Signora
Barato, however, was beaten by both
her titled rivals. The winner of the
race was, of course, the youngest of
the ladies'. She is the daughter of the
well-known Count Andreas Bethlen

uNsuNe HEROES OF THE DEEP.
Life-savers Succeed or Fail Without
the Applause of the World.

The life-saver is never a demonstra
tive fellow and rarely communicative;
also, he lacks imagination. You can
argue with Capt. Jim by the hour that
his life Is a hazardous one and of ex.
ceeding interest to those engaged in
more peaceful pursuits, but in vain,
Only the details of his daily duties,
which are many and arduous, seem to
appeal to him; the romantic side, the
perilous side, he sees not at all. He
will talk by the hour of life-buoys and
life-lines, or night signals and wireless
telegraphy, of searchlights and motor
lifeboats; but of himself who is the
life and power of it all, nothing, says
the Circle Magazine.
The government report Is the sole
history Of our unpretending heroes
of peace" and very dry history it is.
OF nearly 10000 wrecks and rescues,
not word is printed, save bare
record of the time, place, lives and
property saved.
In every instance a small band of
men went out to a mortal struggle,
sometimes right up to the verge of
death. A few went over the verge, so
simply and quietly that their names
remain unhonored and unsung They
battled alone, far away from towns
and cities, and the applause of watch
