The Art of Overlooking.

Nobody can live long in the world
and not admit that the words moth
ing for nothing" contain sad amount
Of truth. He Is of course IA fool who
does not count the cost so far as the
future is concerned. but scarcely less
q fool Is he who does not overlook past
costs. If we have any good or de-
lightful thing In this life, at all haz-
ards let us not faint our enjoyment by
considering what we gave for 1t. Was
1t more than we could afford? Never
mind. We have afforded it; we have
made our purchase. Let us take Off

less we would spend all our days
In balancing closed ccounts.-London

The Curse,

An Irish authority thus defines as
an expert the effects of well deliv.
cred curse: THE belief among the an,
cient Irish was that curse once pro
nounced must fall in some direction.
If it has been deserved by him on
whom it Is pronounced 1t will fall on
him sooner or later. but If 1t has not
then 1t will return upon the person
who pronounced 1t. They compare 1t
to wedge with which woodman
cleaves timber If 1t has room to go
it will go and cleave the wood. but If
it has not it will fly out and strike the
woodman himself who Is driving it be-
tween the eyes. "-London Globe.

These Are Not Gentlemen

English custom by an assertion that
signified that gentleman, or any one
who is engaged in a ''gentlemanly'
occupation, is denominated ESQUIRE"
but that the tradesman is entitled to
nothing better than mister" The
English themselves are not always
sure in making the distinction. Not
long ago it was found by one who
took the trouble to investigate that the
railway companies vouchsafe the hon
or of esquire" only to those passen-
gers who care sufficiently about their
social standing to be holders of first
class season tickets. The real deriya-
ton of the word esquire is, as most
people viii remember, from ..escuyer"
odd French for ''shield-bearer"-and
so it came to be applied to the chief
retainers of Knights When the feudal
days passed the word remained.-Har.

KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
Unable lives have been embittered
and social and business success pre-
vented by serious skin affections
which so often result from the neglect
of minor eruptions in infancy and
childhood. With but little care and
the use of the proper emollients, baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
fed and beautified, minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and
torturing, disfguring rashes, itchings,
irritations and chaf1ngs dispelled.
To this end, nothing is so pure, so
sweet, so speedily effective as the con-
slant use of Cuticura Soap, assisted,
when necessary, by Cuticura Ointment.
Send to Potter Drug & Chem. Corp,
sole proprietors, Boston, for their free

INFECTION IN THE PRISON
Peculiarly Favorable Field There for
the Spread of the Scourge
of tuberculosis.

Only twenty-one prisons in fifteen
states and territories have provided
special places for the treatment of
their tuberculous prisoners. These in
situations can accommodate, however,
only 800 patients. In three-fourths of
the major prisons and in practically
all the jails of the country the tuber-
culous prisoner is allowed freely to
infect his fellow prisoners, very few
restrictions being placed upon his
habits. When the congregate mode of
prison life is considered, the danger of
infection becomes greater than in the
general population. New York and
Massachusetts are the only states
where any systematic attempt has
been made to transfer all tuberculous
prisoners to one central institution.
The largest prison tuberculosis hospi-
tai is in Manila, where accommoda-
tons for 200 prisoners are provided.
The next largest is Clinton prison hos
pital in New York, which provides for
$50.

where MiIIlons Are Entombed.

The catacombs at Rome were the
burial places of the early Christians.
They are about $50 miles in extent and
are said to have contained 100000
bodies. During the prosecutions of the
Christians under Nero and other Ro-
man emperors the catacombs were
used for hiding places. Under Diocle-
tian the catacombs were crowded with
those for whom there was no safety
in the face of the day. The art of the
catacombs is unique and most inter
esting. Simple designs are etched in
the slabs which seal the tombs. Now
