The True Cure.

There are two ways of dealing with
the evils in the world which we Justly
deplore and wish 10 a~bolish-one, to
attack and try to break them down
forcibly; the other, to dissolve or ex-
hale them by the active presence Of
good. The former of these methods
appears sc much the more direct and
obvious that it generally gains the
first Mace in our attention, We see a
wrong and our impulse is to crush it;
we see an injustice and we long to
extermiaate it; we observe an unright-
eous institution and we desire to
overthrow it. The slower and less di.
rect method of overcoming evil with
good, of substituting a better way for
that which is bad, of deroting the
same energy to building up that we
would have given to the work of tear
ing down, obtains a gradual hold over
US only with time and experience.

BEHIND THE TIMES
GENTLE CRITICISM OF THE MOD

Misguided, She Begins Early to Crush

perior in Charm.

THE odd thing is. that for all
they're so dead anxious to marry their
girls. English mothers don't a bit know
how to do it. They're right back in
the middle ages in their IDEAS. They
think a girl should be good, and quiet,
and not too smart, and not OF talka-
tive, and not different from any other
girl. Above everything ON earth. she
is not to be conspicuous.
From what English girls have con
tided to my sympathetic ear, | should
Judge that conspicuousness is looked
upon over here as one of the seven
deadly sins. What is there that a a
wants in a wife?
ASK him and he'll reel you off a
catalogue of solid virtues. But watch
him. and you'll see him attracted
either by beauty (and the English girl
could be the most beautiful in the
world If she only knew how to dress
and do her hair); propinquitywhich
is the cause of half the marriages in
England, especially the unhappy ones

can in every class do, so that they're
only too likely to marry the first per-
son they really get a few tete-a-tetes
With or else-what the English
mother ignores-individuality, that
something in a woman which sep
arates her from the crowd.
English women generally have their
individuality quenched by parents who
want their offspring to be lay figures
draped to copy mamma. At the best,
they seldom develop a marked person
atty till they are nearly thirty and
have lost the bloom of their youth and
the cream of what to the American
girls are the happiest years of her life
"One of the most pathetic sights in
the world to me is an English ball
room full of young girls, all much of a
muchness in white, and all shy,
gauche, self-conscious, unfledged-hob-
bledehoys still, instead of having en-
tered into their kingdom of charm
ing w~omanhood.
"They have nothing to distinguish
them from one another, Why, their
very partners can't tell them apart,
and have to make careful mental notes

Chapman, in the New York American.

VentilatinQ the Sickroom.

In ventilating a sick chamber it is
often desirable and necessary to leave
the window open to secure fresh air.
The best way to do this is to tack a
piece of muslin across the open win
dow by means of thumb tacks. 1t the
air is chilly this will keep the drafts
of the patient and will keep out the
dust and dirt, which might otherwise
be blown in. If the day is hot and
sultry-and these days are the hardest
and most trying on a sick person
an ideal way to yentllate, purify and
cool the air is to open the window or
windows and stretch a piece of muslin
across the opening, then lower the
shades to where the window is opened
and after this has been done thor
oughly saturate the muslin with cold
water. Then place a large basin or
pail of cold water under or near the
bed. If this is done it often will en-
able a restless patient to obtain some
m~ueh-needed sleep and rest. As o
as the muslin becomes dry wet 1t

The nSlnoinq poa.n

In Sammy, a handsome collie, Lud.
wig Carlson of Montclair, n. J.. pos.
sesses a s~elf-educated canine tenor
soloist. Every morning when the bell
on st. Johns Episcopal church, near
the dogs house, begins ringing.
Sammy takes up a position not far
from the edifee and begins an accom-.
paniment that has none of the dis
cordance of the ordinary canine howl.
1t is a musical voice which Sammy
blends with the deep notes of the bell.
and It has been observed that the dog
Is exactly in tune with the metallic
sounds that come from the church
belfry.
At moo the collie makes tracks for
a lumber plant operated by his owner.
Here the dog accompanies the whistle,
which is blown at midday. and here,
too, he always achieves perfect har-
mony. The dog also joins his voice
with the town curfew bell at nine
o'clock at night. Z
Persons who have studied the dogs
performances say that in the begin
ming his voice was harsh and not at
tuned to the bells or the whistles,
but devotion to practice and love of
harmony have made him an accom-
plished canine vocalist.

Foolish filings at Farmer.

There is no form of idiocy that
makes me madden than does the at
tempt of a stage comedian to make
a joke at the expense of the modern
farmer" says Fred Storm. ''The
chances are that the farmer the butt
of the alleged Joke, has ten dollars
where the so-ealled comedian has ten
cents, and that he is a much better
educated man.
81 was in a playhouse the other
night with a farmer friend from Men
tor, when one of these comedians
came out and sang a silly song about
the poverty and persistency of the
man on the farm.
MY fnrmer friend smiled innocent
ly. Well he said, my farm brought
me in over $4,000 last year and my
wife and | have just expended $500 on
a trip to California. That may be
poverty and 'parsimony,' but those

IS OLDEST ATTIC LETTER
Missive That Gives a Glimpse of Man
ners and Customs in Demos.
themes Time.

A little leaden tablet. furnished,
ugly and otherwise trivial in appear
ance. was sent a few years ago from
Athens to the Imperial museum OF
Berlin, the Scientific American says
On n side of il was some writing
which only recently was deciphered
with precise correctness by Adolph
Wilhelm, an Austrian %savant, who
i've In Athens. The tablet is the
original of a private letter that was
written about the time of the orator
Demosthenes.
The writer of the letter lived in a
rural neighborhood and wished to send
a commercial order to a town. The
form of the address was: T be
taken to the pottery market and to be
handed to Nausias. or to Thrasykies,
or to the SON. (perhaps the son of the
writer was meant). The weekly mar
ket, to which the Attic countrymen
had gone to offer their produce and
wares for sale, may be imagined in
progress. There the boy who was
bearer of the letter was to find the
stand or booth of one of the three per-
sons to whom 1t was addressed and
deliver 1t to him. The text of the let
ter says: "Mnesiergoes greets you
cordially, he greets your family with
the same esteem and wishes them
good health, and he says also that his
own health is good. Please be so kind
as to send me a mantle, either Of
sheepskin or of goatskin, and let it be
as cheap as possible, for it does not
need to be trimmed with fur. Send
with a pair of heavy soles also. AS
soon as | have an opportunity | will
pay you"
So much for the letter, to the mo-
tive of which the reader can point
with as much precision as the author.
Apparently it was written In winter,
poor Mnesiergos having been surprised
out in the open country by one Of
those icy snowstorms which sometimes
even at this day cover the temples Of
Acropolis with a mantle of snow.
Therefore he desired to receive as
quickly as possible the heavy and
warm garment of the poorer country
men, a goatskin, which could be
bought for Az drachms, and the
strong soles which were worn under
the ordinary sandals on the rural
plains and hillsides. A good pair of
the latter could be bought for four
drachmas, as a well-preserved bill of
that date shows.
A noteworthy feature of this artless
letter is the formula that may be found
used in very numerous letters that
were preserved by the Greek literature
of later times. Even at the present
day every letter written by a rural
Greek begins with the same cordial
inquiry about the health of the person
to whom the letter is written and with
the brief information about the health
of the writer.

The Artists Compensation.

Save a few business concerns, great
concerns. Harrod's, the army and
navy stores and the like, what a
strange welter is in our whole system
of payment for worf-more especially
in the higher branches of work! Art
and literary work are terrible eX-
amples OF this confusion and want Of
science. The payments to many of
the best workers in those barren
fields are SO bad that a MAJ is quite
sanguine if he secs not at the end of
his career the madhouse of the pau.
per's grave.
If he paint without genius, a paint
er may, by attracting an ignorant pub
lie, make himself secure. If he write
without individuality or real force, the
writer may likewise make himself Sc
cure by driving hard bargains with
those who buy and sell his wares. But
for the most part, good work in these
branches is the work of sensitive men
who are little children in money mat
ters and who shrink from bargaining.
Politics and public life and business
make a much better game than art or
ietters-London Saturday Review.

Proper WAY to Walk.

When a man walks in thelright way
speaking literally-the back Of his
heel strikes the ground first. Then
the rest of the heel comes down, after
which the outer edge of the foot takes
the bulk of the burden until the for.
ward movement shifts the weight to
the ball of the loot and finally to the
toes. The ideal step is a slightly
rocking motion. At no time should the
entire foot be pressed against the
ground. Heel and toe is the move.

His plea.

A story is told of a prisoner before
Lord Justice Fitzgibbon. at the time
when the latter was one of the JUS
tees of appeals of Ireland, whose
ready wit probably saved his neck.
Lord Fltzgibbon was holding a~ssizes
In Tipperary county when a man was
brought before him on indictment for
murder. The case was proved that
the victim came to his death by being
hit with a stick in the hands of the
defendant, but the doctor testified
that he had what they called in med
ical p%arlance a paper skull"
The case looked dark for the pris-
oner. however, and the jury returned
a verdict of guilty. AS the man was
brought before the court for sentence
1t was noticed that his lordship had
his black cap in his hand.
"IIave you anything 10 say why sen.
tence should not be pronounced upon
you?" demanded Lord Fitzgibbon.
The man looked for a moment and
then said. mo, your lordship, | have
nothing TO say, bnt l should like to
ask one question"
What is that, my man?" said Fitz.
gibbon.
II should like to know what a man
with a head like that was doing in
Tipperary?"
The black cap was put away and a
prison sentence imposed.-Youth's
Companion.

JUST ONE SLIGHT MISTAKE

Clothes as Viewed by Scientist.

Now the scientists are making a
careful study of our clothes. The ear.
lest garment was probably the shawl,
which was also used as a petticoat.
Make two rows of stitches up the
middle of the p%etticoat, give one long
cut between them and you have trou-
sers. The band on a mans hat is a
survival of the fillet wherewith the
shawl was bound over the head. The
Scotch cap, the bishops inter and the
little boys sailor hat with their tails
and the bonnet strings can be referred
to the same origin. The little bow in
the hat lining at the end of the lacing
had its origin in the time when there
were no one-eighth sizes and head
coverings could be laced in or let out
according to the size of the wearer's
head.
Men in uniform wear their feathers
on the left side, because when plumes
were first used and men drew their
swords more frequently they did not
want them to get mixed with their
feathers. The cooked hat probably
began when hats were so large that
they were Topped up and the habit
then became permanent. The helmet
of the modern fireman has hardly al
tered since the Greeks.

Fare Coin Found by Gardener.

While excavating recently a garden
er of Mobile, Ala. unearthed in the
western part of that city a bronze
coin. 1t later came into the posses
sion of c, A. Dodge, a local inventor.
who had the coin photographed and
sent to the Smithsonian institution,
Washington. T. T. Belote, Of the di-
vision of history Of the institution,
says that the find is a most valuable
one; in fact, so rare that there is no
specimen of the coin in the National
museum. According to Mr.. Belote
the coin is of Roman mintage, struck
during the reign of Emperor L. Sept

211 A. d.
