have his gamecock, which he keeps in
a carefully made cage in his patio,

United States minister at the court of

One day Mrs. Proctor told Mr. Ten

some lines on her birthday and that
she must insist upon reading them TO

askance and submitted with bad grace.

the opening line, II know a girl-they

and sprang to his feet with a gesture
of impatience. TOO familiar he
growled out In high disdain and re-
fused to listen to the remaining lines,

Cleared His Doubts.

A well known English gentleman
engaged tan and powerful high
lander to act rs gamekeepcr on his es-
tate. Having been a considerable time
at his post and not having caught
any poachers, the gentleman suspect
ed his gamekeeper of "arclessness.
So one dark night he disguised him
self and went out with a gun to poach
on his own ground. He had fired only
one or two shots when he was sud
denly pounced upon from behind and
his gun wrenched away. Then kicks
and blows were showered upon him
until he fell down half insensible.
The highlander then walked away
quietly, and when the gentleman re-
covered sufficiently he crawled home
and took to his bed for two weeks.
He has now no doubts as to whether
the man can perform his duty or not.

THE BEST IN LIFE.
Cultivate Gladness--The Brand i'm
proves With Constant Practice.

If you want to get the worth of the
bargain in life cultivate gladness. The
one who mopes doesn't enjoy herself
and surely no one enjoys her.
Any one can be glad when things go
her way. To be glad when the maid
breaks your best dinner set and the
frock on which you've broken yourseif
turns out a fright shows disposition
that can be counted on to oil life's
wheels.
There's n lot of sladness going, but
many of us are blind TO it. What we
want is to take life like a healthy
child and find enjoyment in simple
things. We can cultivate our critical
side until it takes the zest from every
thing.
What if we haven't an overflowing
pocketbook? Need we bang down the
corners of our mouths when there are
health and the outdoors and love Il
make for gladness? Does it come
easier to look on the black side? Has
the pose of misfortune become your
natural state? Forget 1t and take TO
grinning.
At first that grin may bc strained.
but most of your friends will think Il
more lovely than your usual hangdoE
expression The brand improves with
practice.
Forced cheerfulncss is not pleasing
but it is better than chronic depres,
sion. Keep pumping out that oil OF
gladness. and by and by the dumps
will be fabricated.
Gladness isn't an effort to be glad; il
is just being glad. You cannot worry
yourself into it; neither does it come
by stimulation; it does come from TAX.

You sad one try for day to hunt

the day to find how many have been

station if he saw me coming he would
look the other way and pretend not to
know me. If he met me anywhere else
he always bounded to meet me with
great delight. But at the station i!
was quite different. He would pay no
attention to my whistle or my call.
He even pretended to be another dog
md would look me right in the face
without apparently recognizing me.

THE ClERM0NT.
First Passage by Steamboat From

In August, 1S0S-the exact day Is n
matter of dispute-the steamboat Cler-
mont made the first passage by steam
from New York to Albany. The dis
tance, somewhat less than $50 miles.
was covered in thirty-two hours, n
record hailed as triumph in speed,
for previously the passage between
the two cities averaged four days.
Robert Fulton had experimental
with steam several years, but the Cler-
mont was the first boat he constructed
on large scale. AS he could not get
the engine he wanted in this country
he ordered one from England. The
Clermont was so reconstructed in the
following winter that 1t gave more
commodious accommodations to trav-
elcrs, and the year 1903. which was
the first year of regular travel by
steamboat, Fulton made it n point to
start his boat precisely on scheduled
time. Curiously enough, n portion OF
the public complained of this. 1t was
not until well along In the summer
that travellers got accustomed to It,
Previously boats had been held for
two hours at the request of passe1-
gers who weren't ready. Fulton's per-
severance won public approval before

Tho Larynx.

The larynx has been compared to Il
wind, a reed and stringed instru-
ment. The comparison of it to Il violin
gave rise to the not very accura te
phrase vocal chords us the name OF
the two cushions which are its most
prominent features. But no string so
short as those vocal chords could pro-
duce musical bass note. In fact, the
comparison of the larynX to any instru-
ment which produces only musica!
tones is inadequate to begin with.
There 10 no instrument but the larynX
which produces both song and speech.
and ans those comparisons view the
larynX merely as producer of mu-
sical sounds we have no further CON
cern with them at present. Besides.
the voice can be trained for speech
elocution and oratory without n knowl-
edge of the physiology of the larynx.
We have the power of adjusting the
larnyx of varying the tension of its
cords. cushions or ligaments, as they
have been variously called. We can
do these things without scientific tech
nical knowledge of how they are done,
without any knowledge ut all of vocal
physiology, and 1t is the work of the
trainer of the voice to teach the pupils
how to do hem.-Chambers' Journal.

The acid of lemon is not harmful
