No matter how depressed you feel.
Look cheerful!
A gloomy face Is ungenteel,
Look cheerful!
Nobody cares about your woes.
Each has his SORROWS, goodness knows!
Why should you your griefs disclose.
Look cheerful.
Though you are blue as indigo,
Look cheerful!
You're prettier when you smile, you
know:
Look cheerful!
The world abhors gloomy face,
And tales OF woe are commonplace.
So stir yourself aud take u brace
Look cheerful!

He Wanted an Equal Chance.

The sporting parson," once a Ia
miliar figure in English society," has
all but disappeared. in consequence
of the religious reviyals and reforms
OF the last century and a half. A
hundred years ago, however, he still
existed. says a writer in Tit-Bits, and
one of the type presided over a little
seaside parish in Lincolnshire.
The place was a favcrite landing
place for woodcock at the time OF
their annual immigration. and the
parson used to tell off native 10 let
him know as the birds began to ar
rive.
On Sunday he was preaching TO
his congregation, and had just reach
ed the second head Of his discourse,
when the church door was cautiously
opened and a head appeared, follow
ed by a beckonlng finger. The par
son either did not see, or would not
heed the intruder. who then gave
loud cough.
The preacher Stopped in his preach
ing in the middle Of sentence and
excitedly asked, What is ii, JohnT
Cocks Is coom," replied John.
The parson hurriedly closed his
sermon case. "Shut the door and
lock IT," he cried TO the clerk.
Keep the people in church till I've
got my surplice of. Let's all have q
fair chance"

Sanitary Conditions Of Paris.

Not for many years have the health
returns in Paris shown such a low
percentage Of deaths as has been the
case since the recent floods. This Is
attributed to the thorough cleaning
process which took place after the
subsistence of the waters when the
accumulated rubbish of years in cell
lars and other obscure places was
either washed out or has since been
removed by the health authorities,
who now practice a rigid inspection
resulting in the greatest cleanliness
and have instituted fresh methods OF
insuring the purest possible supply OF
water. Thus the floods may be con-
sidered as a blessing in Disguise

Form Of Divorce in Old Rome

In the earlier period of the Roman
Republic divorces were quite I'M
known, and were rare right up to the
time of the Sultan Wars In the old
days the husband and wife who
wished to separate appeared for the
last time before the common hearth,
a priest and priestess being present.
AS on the day Of marriage. cake OF
wheaton -four was presented to the
husband and wife, but instead OF
sharing it between them they reject
ed il. Then, instead OF prayers. they
pronounced formulas of strange, Sc
we're. spiteful character, by which the
wife renounced the worship and gods
OF the husband. From that moment
the religious bond was broken. and,
the community of worship having
ceased to exist, the marriage, with
out further ado, was forever dissolved.

The Miracle Play.

Passion Play Is a dramatic repre-
sentation OF the chief events In the
passion of Christ, performed every
tenth year by the inhabitants OF the
village of Oberamergau, Bavaria, In
accordance with a VOW made by them
IN 1858 to express their gratitude az
the cessation OF the plague. This
VOW has been religiously kept, with
few Interruptions. ever since. the
play depicts the events recorded IN
the Gospels, and is interspersed with
tableaux from the Old Testament and
choral odes. II occupies about seven
hours and a half in It's representation.

and is performed in an open-alr the

The Seas Ventilation.

One Of the reasons formerly urged
against the existence of living crea-
lures In the abysses of the ocean was
the supposed absence Of oxygen there.
1t was deemed impossible that any
considerable quantity of oxygen
could exist at great depths. But dis
coveries of recent date have shown
that there is no lack of oxygen even
at the greatest depths. The explana-
ton is that the cold water OF the
polar regions, charged with the oxy-
gen from the atmosphere, creeps
along the bottom toward the equator
from both poles and thus carries
supply of oxygen over the whole vast
floor Of the oceans. The surface wa
ter moves toward the poles, and so
q great system Of circulation exists.
Were 1t not for this world circulation,
one authority assures us, 1t Is alto
gether probable that the ocean would
In time become too foul to sustain
animal life, at least In its higher
manifestations, and the sea, the
mother of life, would itself be dead.

Diamonds from Gunpowder.

Sir Andrew Noble. In a recent ad-
dress before the Royal Institution in
London on the development of ex-
plosives during the last 90 years, re-
lated a remarkable story Of what oc-
Cured during one of his experiments
with a gunpowder made OF cordite
and carbon. After the explosion, in
which the elevation of temperature
was estimated to have been about
4.900 degrees Centigrade. a residue
was left in the explosion chamber In
which Sir William Crookes afterward
found diamonds. They were, OF
course, exceedingly minute, and must
have been formed from the carbon
under the influence OF the immense
heat and pressure developed at the
moment of the explosion.

When Folks Feared Gas.

In the early days of the last CEN
tury. when Illuminating gas was first
used in London, timorous people talk
ed of the dangers of suffocation and
OF explosions TO which gas, which
was still imperfectly purified. exposed
the citizens. Scientists confirmed
these assertions, and the first gasomet-
ers erected in London by Samuel
Clegg so terrified the people that no
work man would venture to light the
gas jets which had been placed on
Westminster Bridge. But Clegg soon
overcame this difficulty by lighting a
torch and applying 1t to the burners
with his own hands. On another oc-
casion before a committee Of the
Royal Society Of London he bored a
hole in the gas holder and put light
ed candle TO it, to the great alarm
of the spectators. but without caus-
ing the slightest accident. Gradual
ly the eyes even of the most preju-
diced were opened to the truth.

Maunetic Lamps.

How Danish Farmers Prosper.


The Danish farmers, living as they
do on or near the seacoast, are great
exporters of dairy stuff. England Is
SO big a customer that the Danes In
fun reproach their neighbors with
eating up their butter, and leaving
them only oleomargarin. yet" says
Mr.. F. N. Butlin in Among the
Danes" they are not all of that way
of thinking. for one old farmer asked
us If we could not persuade our fell
low countrymen to eat butter with
their cake.
"If you ask how the Danish farm
ers manage to keep pace with our
(the British increasing appetite for
Danish eggs, butter and bacon, the
answer is, they cooperate. The but.
ter which is exported Is made in
their cooperative dairies. The pigs
are slain In their cooperative slaugh-
ter-houses. and the Danes are not a
little proud of the process. One dis
tinguished traveller complains that
during his stay in Denmark he was
always being asked to come and see
a pig killed.
"The eggs are exported by co.
operative societies. If Dane has
only one egg he can export it-al-
ways provided 1t be a good egg. No
mistake must be made about that.
Before the eggs are packed for ex.
port, down in the cooperative fac
tory on the shore, they are held over
a basin filed with electric light, when
ell defects can be detected with the
naked eye. II is no use for an old
egg to pose as young one then. Each
egg is marked with the owners num-
Der and the number Of his district;
the owners of bad eggs are fined. No
less than eighteen thousand Danes
belong to this one society. Here, too,
butter is packed for the English mar
ket."

Oatmeal and Stature.

SHIPS OF THE AIR.
Aerial Fleets viii Play Great Part In
Coming Wars.

1t really begins to look as If the
next war-if war there must be-will
mark the introduction OF aerial
manoeuvres on a scale which would
hardly have seemed possible a few
years ago. At the end Of 1903 says
the Youths Companion, there were
already in existence, either finished
or promised to be ready for service
very shortly, 80 dirigible balloons and
So aeroplanes belonging to the vari-
ious European nations. or these Ger
many has IA dirigibles, of six different
models, and five aeroplanes; France,
seven dirigibles and seven aero
planes; Austria, two dirigibles and
four aeroplanes; England, two dirigi-
bles and two aeroplanes; and Spain,
one dirigible and three aeroplanes. 1t
is interesting to remark how Germany
runs to dirigibles and France to aero
planes. Yet France was the first off,
cially to experiment with the former
type.

IA doubtful. Some philologists say 1t

fraud; and others that 1t is de-
rived from the Icelandic bull-"non-
sense" Many definitions have been
attempted, but the best probably Is
that OF Sydney Smith. Writing OF the
difference between wit and bulls
he says. "Wit discovers real relations
that are apparent, bulls admit ap-
parent relations that are not real.
The stronger the apparent connection
and the more complete the real dis
connection Of the ideas the greater
the surprise and the better the bull.
