THE THREE BEST THINGS.
BY Rev. Henry Van Dyke, d. d., i
the Outlook.

BY Rev. Henry Van Dyke, D. d., in
the Outlook.
Work.
Let me but do my work from day to
day;
In field or forest, at the desk or loom
In roaring market place or tranquil
room,
Let me but find it in my heart to say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me as
tray:
This is my work; my blessing, not
my doom:
OF ali who live, am the one by
whom
This work can best be done, in the
right way"
Then shall see it. not too great, nor
small
To suit my spirit and to prove my
powers;
Then shall cheerful greet the la
boring hours,
And cheerful turn when the long
shadows fall
At eventide, to play and love and rest
Because know for me my work is
best.
Let me but live my life from year to
year,
With forward face and unreluctant
soul,
Not fastening to, nor turning from
the goal
Not mourning for the things that dis
appear
In the dim past, nor holding back in
From what the future wells; but with
whole
And happy heart, that pays it's toll
To Youth and Age, and travels on
with cheer;
SO let the way wind up the hill or
down,
Though rough or smooth, the jour-
ney will be joy;
Still seeking what ! sought when but
boy,
New friendship, high adventure, and a
crown,
l shall grow old, but never lose life's
ZeSt,
Because the roads last turn will be
Love.
Let me but love my love without dis
guiSe,
Nor wear mask of fashion old or
new,
Nor wait to speak till | can hear a
clue,
Nor play a part to shine in others
eyes,
Nor bow my knee to what my heart
denies;
But what l am, to that let me be
true,
And let me worship where my love
is due.
And so through love and worship let
me rise:
For love is but the hearts immortal
thirst
To be completely known and all for
given,
Even as sinful souls that come lo
Heaven:
SO take me. love, and understand my
worst,
And pardon it, for love, because con-
feSSed
And let me find in thee. my love my
ErSI.

There's Nothing New.

Every generation marvels at the
progress it is making and looks back
on the immediate past with a pity
mingled with contempt, and yet little
antiquarian research sometimes proves
humiliating to the man who believes
everything worth while was hrst
thought of in his lifetime.
For instance, we hear much recently
Of the healing power of music, now
certain harmonies will stimulate heal
ing processes and all that sort of thing,
and all the world Is inclined to pat sur
gerry on the back and heap praise upon
the age of scientific marvels. An off,
cial of the Bath corporation In Eng
land recently discovered record dated
1904 stating that the physicians or the
town had requested that the band be
allowed to perform in the pumproom
for the following reasons: THAT the
least stroke imaginable upon any
musical instrument has such an effect
on the human body as to move its COM
ponent machinulae In all tnelr parts'
giving the fibers of the whole body
more or less, according to their degrees
of tension, correspondent conclusions;
and consequently, the spirits are not
only raised, or made fine, but the other
animal fluids are also briskly agitated,
and their preternatural cohesions and
viscidites destroyed.
The physiology of the two-century-
old record, brought to light within the
last week or so, may not be compatible
with modern theories, but 1t goes TO
show that the general principle of the
value of music in medicine was ap-
preciated in an age which our sur
geons, struggling with the same prob
lens, would say was absurdly benight-
ed and crude.-Chicago Tribune.

The GIutton Fly.

Mr.. Fly is one great gobbling glut,
ton. His stomach can stretch like
toy balloon. A fly can lick up enough
in a few seconds to last him for sew
eral days. This tells why he may car
ry germs so far-maybe across a con-
tinent-if he rides on Pullman anC
goes right straight through. Mr.. Fly
has a thousand times worse and more
numerous ways of planting deadly
germs than by simply shaking the germ
dust off his feet and wings where he
lighted walketh, hummeth, kisseth
grabbeth and holdeth on.
Living typhoid germs have beer
found in a fly stomach six days after
the fly had sucked them in, and these
germs were in their "specks" for two
days after germs were eaten by Miss
Fly. Consumption germs were taker
out of the belly Of a fly at fly post
mortem. Mrs. Fly had sucked these
particular consumption germs in fifteen
days before. Diphtheria germs live ir
flies a week, but cholera germs die out
in a couple of days.
If you will look at some unclean win
dow panes this time Of the year lots OF
large white specks almost as big as
fly can be seen. Each Of these spots
show where fly fungus has killed a fly
Tip years ago suggested that this fun
gus be cultivated and fed to flies In
slrup. sputum, etc. But it seems that
similar things have been tried on lu-
Gusts and would not work. Still, there
might be chance for somebody to
make good money by making fungus

THE SUPREME COURT AT WORK.
How the Justices Prepare Their De-
cisions and Dissenting Opinions.


On Saturday evening each justice re-
ceives from the chief justice an enVel-
ope containing the names OF the cases
the chief Justice has decided to allow
the Justice to write the opinions ln'
and the chief Justice also notifies the
justices of the hour Of the conference
on Monday morning. The conferences
are usually held in The conference room
under locked doors. The chief justice
presides. and cases are taken up or
postponed according to the wishes OF
the justices or their readiness to con-
slider them. Each justice Is furnished
with a lock book, in which he may en-
ter the details of a case, the record or
the vote on conference and the hnal
disposition. On a case being assigned
by the chief justice to justice TO
write the opinion Of the court the
opinion when written must be agree
able to the justices. If not, the dis
satisfied justice will promptly write
dissenting opinion. In some instances
four of the justices have each written
a dissenting opinion, but the usual
custom Is for one to write 1t and an
nounce that the others concur
Before a case Is reached for argu-
ment the justices familiarize them
selves with its records and briefs, and
when one Is directed to write the opin-
ion he makes q study Of the case, long
or short, as it's gravity demands. This
may take a few days or months. The
opinion Is dictated, and after being
typewriter 1t Is corrected, boiled down
and revised; another copy Is then made.
further revised and sent to the printer.
In order that the compostors who set
the type may not know the decision or
the case, the foreman sets up the last
few lines of the opinion, locks them IN
a safe, and after the opinion is set up
he adds them to it, takes two proofs
and forwards them under lock and key
to the justice. 1t is again read and
revised, and sometimes completely al
tered, and returned to the printer, cor
rected by the latter and nine revises
sent to the justice.
If the opinion Is now satisfactory to
the justice a copy Is mailed to each
member Of the court. These are re-
turned to the justice with the nota-
tions of the justices, and the opinion
Is revised or changed, if need be, to
conform to their views. If there be a
dissenting opinion the justice writing
the majority opinion holds 1t until the
dissent is completed.

Thomas Griffin, wealthy manufac-

SOME ABNORMAL EATERS.
One Boy Who Consumed 100 Pounds of
Raw Meat In "a Hours.


Extraordinary eccentricities of diet
were recorded by w. Soltau Fenwick,
NJ. D., in an address delivered at the
Institute of Hygiene recently to a
select audience of doctors, nurses and
other experts.
Various odd devices, he said, were
resorted to in former days to stimu-
late a tagging appetite, such as the
drinking of spiced wines, the dropping
of coins or cold metal down the back,
or sometimes a little exercise or gentle
alteration was INDUCED in between
the courses to settle the food in the
stomach" 1t became the habit of a
later period to scratch or fondle the
lobe of the right ear to stimulate the
flow of gastric juices as the nerve
which supplies this part of the skin
has a direct connection with the great
nerve of the stomach.
Every one was said to possess the
stomach he deserved, and there could
be no doubt that, within certain linn
it's, our digestions were of our own
making. The stomach was the most
educablc organ of the body, and one
could reduce it's activities to degree
which was only just compatible with
the preservation of life, or one could
train it to perform twice the amount
of work which nature ever intended it
to do. An average man at the age Of
80 had consumed 25 tons of food, but
some people easily consumed three
times that amount. They never knew
when they had enough.
There was an authentic case of lit

Peculiar Experience of Doctar With

In conversation one day about the
peculiar views that commercial men
sometimes entertain about profess

told the following story:
"A very wealthy man came to con-
suit me about ar attack of vertigo. He
said that he had just returned flola
a trip to Europe. where he had con-
suited eminent specialists, but that
they had failed to afford him any per-
manent relief. "A physician in Lon

then and told him to come again in
day or two. He did So
"'Well,' he exclaimed, I am cured.

FUEL OF THE FUTURE.
Oil May SuppIant Coal In the United
States Navy.

Substitution of oil for coal as fuel
on United States cruisers and battle
ships is being so seriously contemplate
ed by the naval authorities that its
early adoption by the navy is now
generally considered certain. Recent
experiments have demonstrated, it is
reported, that the plan is not only
feasible. but a great Improvement
over the use of coal. 1t not only gives
the ships a greater Steaming radius,
according to experts. but it elimin-
ateS the telltale trail Of smoke that
in the event of war could easily be-
tray the Whereabouts or a fleet.
Vessels now being built for the
United States government are being
equipped with auxiliary oil apparatus
This is regarded as the first step of
the government in it's contemplated
plan to eliminate the use Of coal. If
the results prove satisfactory and it
can be demonstrated that a vessel of
war can be better propelled by the
power derived from the use of oil as
locomotives are in the west. then the
substitution Of oil for coal will be
made.
The change. it is believed, will be of
great benefit. as it will enable the
government to dispense with the SER
vices of half of the men now employ
ed in the boiler rooms, will save space,
do away with smoke and eliminate
the laying up of vessels for days at
a time in order to take coal supply
aboard. a way can be devised for
filling the oil tanks Of the vessels in
a few hours. At present several days
are lost in filling the bunkers with
coal.

MAKING PANAMA HATS.
Requires Thirty Days to Manufacture
Good One.

Requires Thirty Days to Manufacture
a Good One.
The American consul at Honduras
has furnished the state department
with an interesting account of how
Panama hats are made. incidentally
it shows also that most of the So
called Panama hats are limitations,
since the output Of real Panama Is
quite limited.
The Panama hat is a misnomer, he
says. Panama is only the place OF
departure for hats sent there from
South America. The Panama hats
made in Honduras, while possibly not
equal to the hats made in Jipijapa,
Colombia. are nevertheless Of su-
perior grade, but being produced on
a small scale and as a household in
dustry they are practically unknown
in the United States. The plant from
which the hats are made is called
junto (hunco), known scientifically as
Carludovica palmeta named after
Charles w. of Spain and his queen.
Louisa. The softness of the fiber and
its durability make it an excellent
material for hat making. The plants
grow wild in many parts of the re-
public. being cultivated only in the
department of Santa Barbara, the
cultivation consisting Of keeping the
weeds and underbrush down. Never
theless the fiber is superior to that
of the wild variety. The junco grows
somewhat like the banana plant in
that it has a parent stalk, and from
eight to ten sprouts about the base.
When the sprouts are two to three
feet high, and about to flower, they
are cut off; the long, slim, spearlike
casing of the flower Is peeled on, the
inside of the casing taken out, split
with shape bone into very thin strips
the thinner the slips the finer the
weave of the hat-and then hung In
the sun to dry. In a day or two they
shrivel into light. compact. cylindrical
form, like a cord or string. These
are llen put llllO q SioSci wa "''N
smoked with sulphur fumes twenty
four hours to bleach, when they are
ready for use. The fiber must be
continuously moistened while being
woven to keep it pliable.
The hat-making industry OF H0ndu-
ras is localized in the department or
Santa Barbara, where it is carried on
by the women of nearly every house
hold. They acquire great skill and
rapidity in the weaving, yet a hat
that will take all the time of an ex-
pert weaver for thirty days will not
sell on the spot for more than IS to
$S Hats are made ranging from 81
to $25. Santa Barbara is about four
days journey from Peurto Cortes
through which hats are exported to
the United States. the exports in 1909
amounting to only 1868 against $3,OS1
in 1908. The journey from Peurto
Cortes to Santa Barbara is over a
rough mountain road, and must be
made on mule back. Most of the
hats are bought up by native travel
ing buyers. who go from village to
village. picking up the output and
sending them to Guatemala, Mexico,
Belize the United States and Europe.
The output for local consumption and
for export, does not reach 100000 per
annum, but it could be largely in
creased if there were larger market
therefor.
