Consolation.

Consolation.
q, deem not they are blest alone
Whose lives a peaceful tenor keep;
The power who pitieS man has shown
A blessing for the eyes that weep.
The light of smiles shall fill again
The lids that overflow with tears;
And weary hours Of woe and pain
Are promises of happier years.
There is a day Of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night;
And grief nay bide an evening guest,
But JOY shall come with early light.
And thou, who Ger thy friends low bier
Dost shed the bitter drops like rain,
Hope that a brighter, happier sphere
Will give him to thy arms again.
Nor let the good mans trust depart,
Though life its common gifts deny
Though with a pierced and bleeding heart
And spurned of men, he goes to die.
For God hath marked each sorrowing day
n numbered every secret tear,
And heavens long age of bliss shall pay
For all his children suffer here.

Record for Stranoeness.

A Niagara Falls mar tells this story:
"A Buffalo man brought a relative
from Scotland here to see our grand
spectacle. The two gazed at the fall in
silence a long time. Then the Buffalo
man heaved a sigh and said:
"Ah, Cousin Donald, did you ever
see anything so beautiful and stranger"
THE ~Scotchman, after a moments
thought, answered calmly:
"'Weel, for bonnie yon's a RIGHT; but
for strange. no-fur l once saw in the

Time to Stop.

From the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph
A messenger boy was told to deliver
a telegram to a certain Chicago min
lister on a Sunday morning at the hour
when the preacher was in the pulpit.
The boy gained entrance to the ves-
try door and he was at a loss to know
how to reach the minister, who was
hen in the midst OF his discourse. He
finally succeeded in attracting the at
tention of one of the ushers, to whom
he whispered:
How long has dat guy been
preachin'?"
About 80 years" said the usher.
We'll, l guess I'll wait, He must be
nearly DONE" said the boy.

HOT AIR INSTEAD OF STOVE

Much Attention.

end. according to the foreign cooks,
and at the same ting a great waste
in fuel in the preparation of meals is
to be eliminated. TAe use of super.
heated air for cooking purposes is at.
tr3cting considerable attention from
the domestic economists. Tbs proc.
ess is said TO be done quite simple
as simple az the ''t1rcles1 cooBer," in
fact. The steam from an ordinary
kitchen boiler is conveyed by pipes to
the "superheater," where, by means OF
a series Of coils above a core fire,
its temperature is raised to 1900 de.
grees. The pressure IL not increased
which eliminates DANGER Of bursting
the pipes. Hollow 1cGs surround and
lie underneath the boiler, and through
these rods the supe1teated air is per.
mttted to rush, quickly making the

'"DRAWlNG LONG BOW
STORIES THAT STRAIN ONES
POWER OF BELIEF.
Baron munchausen Beaten to Il by
Some Of the Observation-Disclosures.
bic 1ow-and-Arrow Story Of
Virgil.

Many Tong bow stories are to be
found in the worlds literature long be-
fore the time Of the celebrated Baron
Munchausen. Indeed, by far the great
est part of them had their origin in
the remote past.
Virgil, in the Aeneid, tells OF four
archers who were shooting for prize,
the mark being a pigeon tied by a
cord to the mast of ship. The first
man hit the mast, the second cut the
cord and the third shot the pigeon as
it flew away. The fourth archer,
having nothing left at which to shoot.
drew his bow and sent his arrow fly
Ing toward the sky with such speed
that the friction of the air set the
feathers on fire and it swept on like
a meteor. to disappear in the sky.
That's bow and arrow story to test
the strongest credulity.
The stories of Robin Hoods archery,
illustrated by his wonderful perform
ance at Locksley in SCOTS "Ivanhoe,'
ere also a decided strain on ones
power Of belief.
The famous legend of William Tell
is believed by some authorities to have
foundation in fact There was q
Dane named Foke Of whom the same
story was told. and William Of Clouds
ley, an Enslishmar. is said to have
shot an apple from his sons head
r.erely to show his skill
The majority Of bow and arrow
stories relate to - accurate aim Of
the archers, but Frenchman, Blaise
de Vigenere, tells one in which the
main point is the tremendous force
with which an arrow may be propelled
if the bow Is strong and long enough.
According to his own account OF the
matter. he saw Barbarossa, Turk.
admiral Of ship called the Grand
Solyman, send an arrow from his bow
clean through a capron ball. Whether
the cannon ball had hole in it or not
he neglects to inform us.
Perhaps the mott astounding of all
stories about arrow shooting is that
Of the Indians who used to inhabit
Florida. It is said that a group Of
them would form circle. one would
throw an ear of Indian corn into the
air, the rest would shoot at it and
shell 1t of every grain before it fell
to the ground Sometimes the arrows
would strike the ear Of corn so hard
and fast that it would remain sus-
pended in the air for several minutes
and the cob never fell until the last
grain had been shot away.

Story of George Eliot.

Mrs. Walford, the English novelist,
has been publishing her recollections.
Among her amusing stories is this of
George Eliot: 1.-The famous authoress
was being feted at Cambridge, and a
few enthusiastic and very youthful
admirers we're permitted to join q
luncheon party given in her honor,
though accommodation could only be
found for them at side table. They
could. however. look and listen, and
as there was not much to look at they
listened the more. The large. full
lips seemed to be emitting words Of
wisdom; then cran> their necks, they
stretched their ears. Suddenly the
tension was relieved; they leaned
back In their chairs and laughed as
only boys ever laugh What had they
heard? The deep voice that should
have pronounced judgment on a
Cicero or a Sophocles had exclaimed
with fervid protest: But, surely, Mr..
So.and-So, you do not mean to say
you really like that bitter Bairisch
beer?"

The Way It's Done Counts

The young girl who would be the
greatest success should always go up
and speak to older women. She does
not have to stay and talk; she does
not have to go far out of her way. But
when she finds herself near the mother
Of one of her friends, or any older
woman to whom she is knoWn-partic-
ularly one to whose house she has
been invited-she should go up and
shake hands and say, How do you
do?" as though she wanted to say it.
Better not say it at all than say it
Rrudgingly, says the Delineator. 1t is
the way Of doing 1t that counts-and
the way is pointed out in the thought
that Is kindly and in the attitude that
ia glad. At the foundation of such

A Cleaning Glove.

An ingenious woman has rece ntly
contrived a cleaning glove and sieve
protector which will be found of rrac~
teal value to housekeepers. 1t con.
sists of a fngerless wash-lesther
glove, with loose sleeve sewed on
at the wrist, which is gathered at the
end and elastic sewed inside, 50 that
the hand and arm may be slipped into
it, and the sleeve then pulled up over
the blouse sleeve wrist
For cutting out the glove, simple
plan is to place hand upon the wash
leather and draw line around it,
allowing about half an inch in every
direction, so that the glove, when
finished, shall not fit too tightly. For
the sleeve any remnant of soft, light
material may be use. The glove will
not only prevent the hand from be-
coming so1led, but will also protect
the sleeve from the wrist to above the
elbow.

SAVES LIFE OF WORKlNGMAN
Respirator Prevents Fine Dust From

The Chicago man who invented the
respirator here described was not only
business man, but a public benefac-
tor. 1t is probably not too much to
say that it will save the lives of hun
areds of workmen who would other
wise die of the various forms of tu-
berculosis induced by the eating away
of their lungs by the fine dust they
tnhale. The respirator is simple
enough device. 1t is merely a metal
cap shaped to fit over the nose and
month with an elastic band passing
around the back of the head to hold
is in place of strip of flexible ma
terial around the edge to prevent the
air penetrating there. The only air
that enters comes in through a fine
gauze wire screen in the front that
is of such close mesh that while it
will admit the atmosphere it excludes
all extraneous matter. Men who
