Barring the Light.

Standing or kneellng on the sidewalk,
were a group OF boys, intent upon game
of marbles. One little urchn, with
knuckles on the chalked line, suddenly
raised his head to call out companion,
"Stand out o my sunshine, can't ye? !
can't half see what I'm aimin' at when
you shut off the light"
We went on our way, laughing at his
earnestness, yet with wish in our sore
hearts that his admonition could reach a
wider circle. For in the great game OF
life, that busies us all-tangled, complex
Iife-there are so many who are barring
the light They watch the work that is
going on around them, and, by chilling
indifference or contemptuous comment,
shut out the sunshine OF hope and cour-
age, and so spoil many an aim that might
else be true.
If we cannot help, at least LET us stand
out of the sunlight and not throw our
shadow over those who need clear vision
and steady hand for the task before them.
There are many people, Of whom, if their
friends dared to ask what they most de-
sire, II would be- "Stand out OF our sum

Changed The Record.

"There used to be an old fellow OF six
ty," said a Denver Judge, "who got arrest
ed about twice a week for conviviality.
He was always hailed before Magistrate
Blank, and as the magistrate was about
sixty, too, a queer kind Of comradeship,
almost friendship, arose between the two
men.
"In the late autumn the topper was call
ed away from Denver. He did not return
till Christmas time. The convivial Christ
mas spirit in the crisp Denver air was, OF
course, too much for him, and the day al
ter his return he was hailed before the
Judge on the usual charge.
"The magistrate in the green feStoon-
ed courtroom felt kindly and forgiving.
"'Well, George, he said to the pris-
oner, you are here again at last, eh?'
Yes, your honor, said old George
humbly.
"You've been away some time, haven't
you?'
"'Yes, your honor; nigh on to three
months
"'And how many times, George, did
you get drunk during that penodP
"I don't like to say, your honor old
George faltered, before all these here
people.
"Well, said the magistrate, take pa
per and pencil and write it down.
$50 George wrote, and the paper was
passed up TO the magistrate, who looked
at il and said:
"Ah, well, it's the Christmas season,
and since you were away three months,
George and got drunk but sixteen times, I'll
let you Off

as he left the dock. you looked at the

India Rubber.

Christopher Columbus, on his second
voyage, found the natives of the island OF
Haiti playing with rubber balls, and re-
ported the discovery Of the elastic and
resilient substance which since then has
been adapted TO many uses. But it was
not till the last century that rubber was
utilized extensively, when Goodyear, af-
ter long years of patient and costly ex-
pertinent, found way TO overcome its
sickness when subjected to heat.
Since then the demand for it has in
creased steadily and greatly, and at the
present time the supply is so far short OF
the demand that companies are organized
to cultivate rubbertrees in all parts OF the
world, and speculation in the shares OF
the companies has been the stock-market
craze of the year in London.
One-half OF the total rubber produc-
ton OF the worlds now used for automo-
bile tires. As the supply is inadequate,
the price has continually increased, until
the best grades of Para rubber sold in
London few weeks ago for three dol
lars a pound. Rubber OF poor grades
from soTe other districts sells for less
than thirty cents a-pound.
The Amazon district OF Brazil is the
great rubber producing country OF the
world, for more than half OF the total sup
ply comes from there. The Federated
Malay states, the Congo region, Portu-
gueSe West Africa, the east coast of trop-
ical Africa, Rangoon, Penang, Bomeo,
and Mexico, the West Indies and Cen
trail America are the other rubber-pro-
ducing districts. About one-tenth OF the
total yield comes from the Congo.
The rapidly increasing cost OF the arti-
Gle has aroused experimenters, who have
produced substances that have some OF
the qualities of rubber. 1t is not improb-
able that they may ultimately succeed, as
the chemists did in producing artificial
indigo, in making real rubber by synthe-
sis.

Oil On The Water.

When the captain OF vessel in storm
pourS oil upon the waters, he does not
empty cask of oil over the side, as some
people seem to think. He makes three
or four cotton bags which he first fills
with oakum and then with equal parts OF
fish-oil and kerosene. Then with nee
die sailor pricks holes all over the bag
to allow the oil TO pass out. The bags
are hung over the side of the vessel and
the oil drops slowly on the waves.
The effect is magical. A rough, seeth-
ing, white-capped biilow will rise threat
ening to sweep over the ship, but will
strike patch Of oil no bigger than COM
mon dining-room table, and in an instant
the wave subsidies tamely into smooth
swell over which the ship rides like a
cork.
Peace-makers are said to pour oil on
troubled waters. They do it in the same
way. They exude kindness, drop here,
a drop there; now gentle word, now a
sweet smile, now kind deed. No an
ger can resist this in the long run.

Asthma.

Among all physical ills asthma is per-
haps the most irritating. II is hard to en-
dure, and terrible TO observe. Its victims
die thousand deaths as far as suffering
is concerned, and yet are denied the dig
nifty Of having fatal disease, for il is one
of the heartleSS axioms ofexperience that
the asthmatic sufferer is quite as likely to
die of old age as of his disease. lthaS
been said that asthma is not disease,
but state of body, and if its victims are
able TO extract any comfort from the
knowledge that it is nervous in its origin,
they are entitled to that alienation.
Any one looking on for the first time at
we'll pronounced aSthmatic seizure is
convinced that he is watching death
scene, and no wonder, so terrifying are
the symptoms. The patient fights piteouS-
ly for breath, sometimes crouching for
hours in one position, pallid, bathed in
perSpiration, and apparently in the final
stages of suffocation; but curiouSly enough
with all the distress, the patient does not
seem to feel any real alarm as TO the out
come.
The attack may pass off either rapidly
or gradually, in many cases leaving no
apparent after effect except sense OF
great fatigue.
Asthma being a disease with nervous
origin, it follows that there are as many
theories about il and remedies for il as
there are sufferers from it, With some
persons the attacks are apparently GER
tain outcome of eating certain kind OF
food, or breathing certain kind OF air, or
reaching certain day and month OF the
year. Many asthmatics claim the power
of cheating their enemy up to a certain
point by moving to some other locality
when the tragic date draws near-the
asthmatics living in the valleys may pass in
transit their fellow sufferers who habitual-
ly live on the hills.
Those who trace their attacks TO digeS-
tive disturbances learn to avoid the Starchy
foods, or the fat foods, or whatever food
it is that upSets them. Some cannot live
near a stable; others cannot be near a
certain shrub or flower. Indeed, the Spe-
cialties OF these unfortunate people are
without number.
The asthmatic, however, has two great
sources Of comfort. One is the reason
able hope OF reaching a good old age; the
other is the fact that great help is to be
found for him in strictly hygenic mode
of living. The better air he breatheS, both
day and night, the simpler his diet and
the more wisely ordered his exercise, the
fewer will be the number OF his attacks.

He Didn't Understand. .

Wilbur Wright was discussing in Day
ton very imaginative magazine story
about aeroplaneS.
"The story" he said, "was full OF er-

"In fact, he's like old George Kettle,
of Trotwood. George rushed into the
Trotwood telegraph office the other day
with small package wrapped in news
paper under his arm.
Telegraph this to my wife, down to
Dayton, Harvey he said to the telegraph
clerk, ttrusting the package through the
little window.
"'No, no, George; we can't do anything
like that laughed the clerk.
