HE IS NOW JUNIOR PARTNER
to Find Favor With Ills Employer.

"Our junior partner" said a bust ness man, "came to us as boy. We had two boys at that time, both equal. ly promising. but one of these boys has since risen only to be a junior clerk in our shipping department. while the other has )now become our junior partner. How did we come to know which was which? I will tell you.
 When came down to the store one morning I found one of the boys sweeping the sidewalk and he was sweeping against the wind. Dust and litter blowing back over the space he had swept. and he going back to sweep 1t up again. Nice boy and meant well. but lacked the kindling spark of quick intelligence. It didn't dawn on him that he was sweeping the wrong way.
 Next day found the other boy sweeping and he was sweeping the right way, with the wind. No dust and litter blowing back, to be taken up again with loss of time. but every thing going with him. He was sweep ing the sidewalk cleaner. making a better job of 1t. and in half the time. Even at that age the boy had good sense and intelligence. a faculty for doing things the right way, and this faculty he developed more and moro as he went along"

Hereditary Talent.

From the postoffice steps FreemA Davis watched Professor Lane cross the road and enter the wheelwright's s shop on the opposite side.
 "Goes in an out free as you or me" MT. Davis remarked to Jabez Sewall. "an' nobody knows how many letters he's entitled to write after his name."
 Jabez nodded. But what I can't just make out is how he come by all his smartness. Ears know. none of his forbears ever amounted to much in a lit'rary way"
 What you talkin' about?" MT. Da- wis demanded, warmly. You knows wells I do that his father could spell Nebuchadnezzar quicker'n any other boy in chool!"-Youth's Companion.

NEAR PSYCHIC AGE
WHEN WE CAN READ EACH oTH.
 ER's THOUGHTS.
Psychologist Declares That Practical Results Soon Will Follow Research Mental TeIepathy Will DispIace
 Other Ways of Communication.

New York-Telegrams telephones
 and letters no longer necessary, bet
 ter health and longer life, sex deter
 mined before birth, and the develop
 ment of race of geninses-that these and many others will be the practical results of the psychological research now being conducted throughout the
 world is the assertion of Floyd Will son, a psychologist and occultist of New York. MT. Wilson, who is the author of several important works on psychology and member of both the New York and London Societies for Psychological Research, believes that the psychic age is at hand and that it
 E only a question of a few years until practical results will be demonstrated.
 "The time :s not far distant" said MT. Wilson at his home, 101 West Eighty-fifth street, when telegrams. telephones and letters will be a thing of the past. Mental telepathy will take their place. At the present time comparatively few people are able to transmit their thoughts to each other In this manner. but it is within the POooAoAAAeACS OA CfCAy OuC- W ACn WC know more about it, as we assuredly shall. it will not be necessary to transmit our thoughts by physical means. Mental telepathy will sup liant all forms of present communica- tion.
 And when we stop to consider it, mental telepathy is no more wonder ful than wireless telegraphy or wire less telephony. The principle is prac- tically the same-space is annihila- ted and without physical connection.
 That our health will be better and | our lease on life longer in the years to come goes without saying. Poor health. to great extent, is due to a condition of mind. By thinking health people will keep in good health. ard by determining to remain young, or at least by determining to keep from getting old, old age will be stayed of many years. Of course, people will get sick and die, just as they do to- day, but illness will be less prevalent and death will be postponed longer.
 Practically all the progress that can be made along educational lines nave been made. The progress in the future will be made in developing our faculties"

Exercise as a Bad Habit.

Regular physical exercise of the artificial kind Is a habit which, just like the moderate use of light alco- holic beverages, has certain advan- tages. but which must also be held within the closest limits unless the disadvantages are to be greater. Ger tainly 1t is no less artificially intro duced into our social life, and in this case too 1t is just as wise not to allow 1t to become a habit. To wan der through the country on a fine day is a beautiful inspiration and healthful for every one. To need the walk with mechanical regularity is the product of bad training, and to become the slave of Swedish gym nastic apparatus Is no better than slavery to cigars.-From Munster berg's Problems of Today.

Here's the whole thing in a nut. she'll" said Brown to me. q am now twenty-eight years old. have my own business. have brought it to such a state that I have decided to take a partner"
 Take one," answered I.
 There's the rub," he gave back. My partner must be such an all around knowing one that I'm afraid I'll have hard work to fill the posi- tion.
 My partner must be able to make Jaws and to enforce them; must be able to carry out complicated chem ical work, must be a skilled mechanic, must know something of economics, must be able to buy wares of all kinds with due consideration of my finances, must be able to do tailoring, of kind, if necessary"
 Hold on, Brown" said I. Are you dippy, as the vulgarians say?"
 'No," replied he q want a wife. Look around among your friends and see if any one man among them could do. all that a good housewife should be able to do. She must make just laws for the family and enforce them
 "She must understand the compli- cated processes of cooking Making, washing, ironing and other wise caring for the clothing of a fam fly requires mechanical skill. Bring ing up child properly requires far more knowledge and wisdom than sell Ing dry goods of standard makes and prices year after year.
 Where is more science and skill than in the sick room? And f the wife does not know how to do All these things how can she direct he work of her paid help. especially f the help knows less than she does" American Magazine

The Japaness Policeman.

Japan has a police force modelled after the French system. In various places throughout Tokio there are small "kabancho." which resemble sentry-boxes. but are larger.
 Three men are attached to each box daily. One remains inside resting. while another stands at the door. and the third patrols a beat, returning, at regular intervals to the box. After twenty-four hours work the three of ficers are given the same time to rest, and three other men are sent to the box.
 During their "ofr" days the men are employed taking census returns, ma king reports regarding the condition of streets, bridges, entertainments, drains and cemeteries. They also re- port weddings, births. deaths, theat- rical performances and the presence of suspicious persons.

Number of Animal Species.

In 1880 Bunther made a Inst of all the known animal species. In 1881 another list was made and the two lists were compared. In 1880 there were about 78,588 species; in 1881 the number had increased to 311,653. And as the minimum yearly increase since then has been 12.000. about 60O.O00 are known at the present time This is a large figure, but it is probable that it Is insignificant compared with figures of the species as yet undis- covered.
 The world of the lower animals is teeming. In 1905 the naturalist Shar per listed a quarter of million in- sects and expressed the belief that a quarter of a million was only tenth part of the number of the species of insects on earth

QUEER COINCIDENCE
ODD coNcURRENcEs ALWAYS
 TICKLE OUR ACCOMPLISHMENT.
Blind Luck by Which the Number on Typewriter and That on the Lottery Ticket Were the
 Same.

There Is something about a coin
 dence that never fails to tickle our
 Rstonishment. We all know that when
 there are a hundred chances to one
 that thing won't happen there still
 remains one chance to hundred that
 It will. Yet when that one chance
 turns up we gasp with undisguised
 Rmazement and refuse to believe that
 It Is a coincidence at all. "Ah, ahi"
 we say at once. There is more in this than meets the eye"
 Condolences should be narrated al ways. Passed on from friend to friend "sotto voce" of a summer evening while the electric fan whizzes and the cracked ice tinkles. Condolences should be prefaced always with such remarks as this: "Of course you cant be expected to believe this, but it actually happened. On my word, 1t did" Or: "On my honor this is actu- ally the truth" Or: You can believe this or not, as you choose, but"
 After this fashion they have told already in a certain neighborhood set down on Long Island the story of the man who bought lottery ticket at lhe French exposition. His mother-in- law was good soul If there was one thing on earth she abhorred 1t was lotteries. She used to write the governor of Louisiana once every year and suggest he suppress the lotteries in New Orleans. Well, as luck would have 1t, she strolled into Johns office and found that lottery ticket, not so long after he had reached home from Paris.
 ! What Is this thing, John?" she asked. adjusting her pince-nez-
 John knew that she knew, but he did what he could. and the outcome should be lesson never to give way to Encouragement.
 That. said John. '1s the secret Writter- Johns mother-in-law turned up the typewriter and looked John braced himself and waited.
 Why. I do beg your pardon" said Iohn's mother-inlaw.
 After she had gone John went over to the desk, turned up that type writer himself, and looked. "Of course you won't believe it," says the Long Islander; T shouldn't myself, but the truth is those numbers, the French lottery ticket and the Inside number on Johns new typewriter. were the same-the same-the same Ill but one figure. and that was an eight on the typewriter that was blurred to look like the six on the ottery ticket And you can't beat hat" said the Long Islander. and passed the clipped ice.-New York , 3un ,

A Little London FInaneIsr.

An East End clergyman tells a moving tale of innocence. A frail It. tie girl came into public house with a jug to fetch her parents half a pint. When the jug was filled she nervously put down two halfpennies on the counter and made for the door. The 'barman, though he hardly liked to frighten the poor, little thing, called after her. in a gentle voice:
 "You're a halfpenny short"
 .No, you're halfpenny shortI" she answered. and disappeared Globe.

ALL IS NEW TO HIM
SURGEONS CUT A BIG TUMoR
 FROM MANS BRAINS.
Mind, Which Had Been Darkened for Two Years, Comes Back and Pa tient Makes Effort to Connect
 Up With Affairs.

Denver, Colo.-The brain of Jere. miah Warwick. which has been strug. gling to resume its natural action ever since tumor as big as a hens egg was removed from it in an amazing operation here. put forth a mighty ef- fort and burst forth for a moment from the mist that had enshrouded 1t for two years
 Warwick told in a rushing, leaping cataract of unintelligible words that he worked in paper mill before he lost his mind; that he made from $90 to S100 month; that his wife, Blanche Ellen Warwick, died two years ago and is buried in Denver; that he had boy named Robert, twelve years old, and that he came from Hamilton, Ohio.
 Hospital attendants say that War. wick has made exceptionally rapid progress this week in gaining his second education. Six days after the tumor was cut from his brain he made his first feeble attempt to write and was able, with considerable as- sistance, to trace the letters of the alphabet in childish scrawl. hardly decipherable.
 Then the patient began to feel his physical strength return and simul- taneously his mind grew clearer He observed events in the ward with evi dent interest and laughed at jokes of nurses and patients heartily.
 He was in the insane ward of the county hospital when surgeon who was looking through 1t found him and diagnosed his case as tumor on the brain.
