SAYS THE FELLOW ON TOP
Wage Garner Must Cut Out Luxuries
Before He Has Right to Ask
for Sympathy.

"How do you account for the high
cost of iving?"
The Tubtcund gentleman addressed,
glanced at a check for S8.85, repre-
Jenting the cost of his modest meal,
handed the waiter $40, with instruc-
tions to keep the change; pulled out a
cigar that the interviewer recognized
as 50-center, and leaned back in his
chair.
"All rubbish" he said. People live
beyond their means and then growl
about it. It's their own faalt."
q see. You believe that everybody
should save part of his income?"
Exactly"
"Umph-umph. Sounds reasonable.
But what proportion of it do you
think he should salt down? Suppose,
for instance, the man earns S1.10 a
day, and has wife and five children,
and some of the babies get sick oc-
casionally, and the older ones need
clothes in which to go to school, and
the landlord wants his rent right on
the nail, and a pair of kids shoes
lasts a month, and the instalment on
the sewing machine is so cents every
two weeks, and he carries enough
insurance to bury him, and enough
medicine for his wife is half dol
lar throw, and everything that the
members Of his household eat and
drink and wear costs more than it
used to, and gets higher all the
time, do you think he ought to save
very large proportion of his in

"You do not state the case fairly
Doubtless the man has vices. am
certain he smokes"
'I forgot that Yes, he pays five
cents a package for tobacco and q
package lasts ten days"
'Ha! Shiftless fellow. And, OF
course, he has the nerve to complain
He'll cut out luxuries before he gets
any sympathy from me-"

The First REQUISITE.

When Senator Vance was running
for congress he called on an old ne.

Vance family. Asked after his health,
the negro replied: Mighty poly in

WorId,s Oldest Tree.

The recent rose show given In Paris
by the French Horticultural society
recalled the fact that the Oldest rose
tree in the world is believed to be one
which grows on a wall Of the cathe-
dral at HiIdesheim, Germany. Elev-
enth-century records make mention
of expenses incurred by caretakers Of
the cathedral in maintaining this tree,
which covers the wall to height of
twenty-five feet and is twenty inches
thick at the root.

Limited Vision.

There was a man Once-a poet. He
went wandering through the streets
Of the city, and he met a disciple.
Come out with me-" said the poet,
"for a walk in the sand dunes" And
they went. But ere they had prog
ressed many stages, said the disciple,
There is nothing here but sand" ITO

poet. ITO walk in the sand dunes" "

The Parable of the Ten Ideas.

A teacher put ten facts into a boys
mind, and when he returned a few
months later, to see If the facts were
still there, he was pleased to find that
the boy remembered them. He paid
the boy high compliment on the pos
session Of a mind that could hold
knowledge so securely and deliver it
up on demand with such prompt and
beautiful exactness! Another teacher
gave another boy ten facts, and some
time after he also tested the boy to
see what had happened. He found
that from the ten he had given the
boy there had grown large number
Of other facts. He made no further
inquiry, for he was not interested to
know whether the facts he had given
him were still there or not. He saw
that the purpose for which they had
been put in the boys mind was work
ing out all right, and there his In
terest ended.

Women in Farm Work,

Almost 100000 women in the
United States are either farmers or
farm labOrers. Thanks to the popu-
Iarity of the homestead in the west
and to a belated appreciation Of agri-
culture as a field for wOman's indus
try, this number is rapidly increasing.
The United States, however, has not
gone so far in this respect as Eng.
land. There, in the dairy sections
women have entire control of the
herds, not only the butter making, but
the milking and feeding. In France
nearly 100000 women are engaged in
farm work, while in most Of the cOun
tries of continental Europe the finer
breeds of cattle are mainly the result
of woman's effoTts.-New Idea Wo

CatacIysmic Geology.

"Cataclysmic" geology no longer ex'
lists. 1t was once the accepted opin
ion that the great changes on the
earth's surface had been mainly
brought about by sudden and violent
(catacIysmic) agencies; but SiI
Charles Lyen, as far back as 1888
demolished the old theory Of cata
clysm at once and forever. Sir Charles
proved by facts which were indisputa
BILE that the great geological changes
have been produced slowly by grad
uaI processes of subsidence and eleva
ton, and not by earthquakes, volcanic
action, etc. Lyell may be said to be
the father of modern geology, or, to
put 1t more correctly, Of real, scien-
tific geology.

MANS RESPECT FOR ANIMALS
We Must Recognize That We Arc
Overseers Of Other Forms of
Life on Earth.

If we have any belief at all in a diff
selves and the animals we must recog-
nize that we are, so far as our powers
over nature will permit, overseers of
other forms of life upon the earth, not
merely for our own advantage but for
the good of the universe. We cannot
deny that the struggle for life exists
and that we must take part in 1t and
do our best to destroy those forms
Of life which are hostile to ourselves.
We cannot go so far in respect for
life as to found a society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to bacilli. But at
the same time our respect for life is
sign of our triumph, however imper-
feet, over the struggle for life; and
the greater this respect becomes the
more we are men conscious of the
promise and significance Of all life
and the less we are beasts involved In
the blind waste of nature.
Very slowly and imperfectIy this
sense Of the promise and significance
of all life grows in us. 1t is not only
an intellectual, but rather a religious
and emotional idea. It appears first
in men like st. Francis with a pro-
phetic sense Of a nobler state of be-
ing. From them it is communicated
by the beauty of their example rather
than by argument, to other men; and
perhaps when it has become a matter
of course I'm all civilized human he
ings we shall find that it is Of prac-
tical value and it will attain to a
scientific justification.

DANGER PLACES IN STORM
Bell Wires, Open Windows and Fire
places Should Be Avoided When
Lightning Is Flashing.

What is the safest place in
thunderstorm? AS a rule the safest
place of all is inside a building which
is provided with a perfect lightning
conductor. The conductor, however,
must have no defects. If it be broken
or have a faulty earth connection it
is then a source of grave danger.
In an ordinary dwelling house, un-
guarded as it usually is against light
ming, a safe place is the middle of the
largest room, where one is away from
the walls, or a still safer precautiOn
is to lie on an iron bed drawn out
from contact with the wall
The most dangerous places in the
house, we are further told, are near
the bell wires, or an open window, or
the fireplace. Outside the house the
places of danger are proximity to
walls and buildings and iron fences.
Another danger is a crowd. The
vapor which rises from a crowd tends
to lead a fash toward the crowd. In
the open country one Of the most
dangerous places is the bank Of a
river Avenues of trees, lakes and
hedges are likewise dangerous.
If any one doubts the danger of a
hawthorne hedge let him take his
stand at safe distance during a re-
spectacle storm and watch the effect.
The lightning will dart along the
hedge like sheets of fire. If the OBJ
server gets wet to the skin, so much
the better for his safety.

Object to Slaughter Of Lions.

According to some Of the farmers Of
East Africa, the lion should be pro-
tected as a useful animal, notWith-
standing the fact that once in a while
he kills a man. The lion, they main
tain, is a great destroyer of nOxioUs
herbivorous animals, such as zebras
and antelopes, which are a scourge to
the fields. In one district they say no
fewer than 46 lions have recently been
killed by hunters, and they estimate
that this represents the saving Of 35,-
900 to 10000 zebras and antelopes,
which would otherwise have fallen q
prey to the lions that have been de-
stroyed. OF course, the hunters shoot
zebras and antelopes, but this fact,
they think, does not cOunterbalance
the destruction os those animals that
would have been effected by the slain
lions.

CuriositIss Of Smell.

No substance that refuses to dis
solve in water hiss an odor. 1t is the
actual substance itself, floating in par
ticles in the air, that appeals to the
nose, and not simply vibration Of the
air, as in the case Of light and sound.
The damper a thing is the more pow
erfuI the odor it gives off. A pleasant
proof of the fact can be had by walk
ing in a garden after rain. There Is
no end to the curiosities Of smell It
is, for instance, the vapor Of liquid
that smells, and not the liquid Ia the
mass itself. If eau de cologne be
poured into the nostril the nose re-
fuses to recognize any odor there at
all
