"Like the Rope of ocnus.y

Few persons who use the phrase "nke the rope of Ocnus'' to denote profitless labor know the significance of the expression or it's great an- tiauity. "The Rope of Ocnus' was the name of a picture painted by Polyg- notus, distinguished Greek, who died in the fifth century B. c. He is reput- ed first to have given life, character and expression to painting. According to P1iny, he opened the mouth and showed the teeth of his figures, and be was the first to paint women fig ures with transparent draperies. Oc- nus was q poor but industrious Greek, whose extravagant wife spent money as fast as he could earn it, and he re lated his troubles to his friend the painter. PolygnOtus thereupon paint ed the picture of 8 man weaving rope of straw, while behind him stood a donkey, eating the rope as fast as 1t was woven. It is pleasant to relate that the silent lesson had the desired effect upon the wife of Genus and that it was through her subsequent frugal ity and thrift that Genus ultimately rose to a position of great prosperity Minneapolis Journal.

dent.

In collision evith a Fairfield ave- nue trolley 4car early this morning, John Will1s, driving a bakery wagon for Jacob Kareher of 155 Wood ave- rue, was painfully cut by flying glass and given shock when the car up- set his wagon.
 Wilks was returning to the bakery from his early morning delivery and was preparing to turn into side street from Fairfield avenue when the car struck him. The contents were scattered over the street while he was thrown violently against the side and the windows were sent fly ing in shower of glass upon the driver.
 Will1s went to the emergency hos pita1 to- have his wounds dressed while the trolley crew strengthened out his horse and badly damaged wagon. Dr. McQueeney found Wilks had cut his hands badly and had re- ceiVed number of small cuts that needed attention. He stitched the torn fingers and sent Wilks home.

Wart Superstitions.

Wart lore is voluminous. It isesaid that a wart will leave person if a lock of his hair is cut from the nape of his neck without his knowing it; that wart will result if a frog spit on one; that warts may be cured by rubbing them over with a black snail, which must afterward be impaled on a hawthorn: that if a bag containing as many pebbles as one has warts be tossed over the left shoulder 1t will transfer the warts to the person who picks up the bag; that if one take a piece of twine, make as many knots on it as there are warts, touch each wart with the corresponding knot and bury the twine in a moist place, say ing. E'There is none to redeem 1t be- side thee," the warts will disappear, and so on ad( inf1nitum.
 Lord Bacon seriously wrote in one of his works how an intelligent and vnonsuperstitious woman, the wife of an English ambassador. had cured his warts by rubbing them with a piece of meat and mailing the meat up on window post fn the sun.

Success,

The flower of true success may be gathered only by discerning persons who want 1t more than they want any other thing and who seek it through all the days of all the years. It has no imitation. is of but one variety and may not be pressed and dried between the leaves of any book, even the Bi- ble. Its name is character. It is not 8 rare flower, accessible to only the few, but it is modest, of quiet mien and hue and is often hidden by the foliage and gorgeous blossoms of more spectaclar plants, so that the merely casual eyes of those who hurry along the life path seem to miss 1t altogeth- CT. It grows indoors and out, in all seasons and weathers, and may be plucked by the black hands of the miner as we'll as by the hands of those whose time is given to less rug ged and daintier tasks. The man who gathers character gathers success, no matter how he may be rated by the commercial agencies.-Richard Wight man in Metropolitan Magazine.

 When digestion is perfect the fluids necessary to this process come natur- ally to the aid of the stomach. They are of right proportion and do their work speedily and we'll. When indi- gestion and dyspepsia are prevalent, these same juices come slowly if at all, are weak and insufficient or are filled with strong acids and allza1ies.
 When such a condition exists each meal is a hardship upon the digestive organs. The meal should strength en the juices, but on the contrary it weakens them, so that man by the very act of eating causes conditions to arise which of themselves bring him pain and loathing for the next meal.

"Love your wife like your soul and beat her like your carpet This is a Russian proverb. Another of the same spirit. Not long hurt the bumps from a loved ones thumps." Wives have undoubtedly been subjected to much i'll treatment in Russia, where most husbands have always held to the opinion that liberty spells a good wife" Some Russian proverbs are cynical as to the delights of matri- mony, and most married men know how to say, ''Wed once. vail always"

HILL cRITIcizEs MAoNArEs.

NEW fORK--J. J. Hill says: "The copper situation seems to be bad be cause the copper men are unwise in the methods they pursue. They want to sustain prices at a time when the demand for the metal is low There are so many producers and their interests are so varied that they can never get together and come to an agree ment to restrict production.
 They ought to lower their prices to a point at which it would not pay many of the large concerns to produce. Some of them cannot afford to produce copper at prices less than Is I-2 cents. others at a price of IS cents. If the price were put low enoght, the produc- CTS would be enabled to get together to restrict production. Nobody buys anything in a falling market, but as soon as prices begin to go up there is rush to buy.
