q love you." small boy wrote to the inamorata in petticoats who had en- shared his affections, because you've got such a nice dis-per-sition."
 The comfortable person" and the "set- tied person." opine, are synonomous.
 We often hear the expression, "a settled pusson" among the darkeys in the south.
 In that homely term is comprehended all that we in this floating world under stand that Nirvana means to the Orien- tai soul in the next-a resting place-the anchoring of ones affections.
 "A settled person." The very expres- sion conjures up picture of the nice, comfortable, soothing, agreeable, indi- vidual that is a joy to have around
 Being settled is largely a matter of temperament" too.
 Some people are born "settled."
 Some, live perverse coffee. require many dashes of cold water and the various ex- pedients employed to get the clarity of vision necessary and desired.
 Nothing underneath the blue canopy of heaven could settle some people.
 They are quivering, lightly poised things. ready to fly away at moment S notice to another planet, just over yon- der to be reached by some about-to- be- invented d-alr-ship route.
 They are humming birds, fitting from flower to flower-in love, literature, lifel
 'Wanted-A Settled Person."
 You see the advertisement in the paper every morning.
 You can close your eyes and see the man who will get the job. without further description.
 He has "alighted," as it were; he no longer 'moons;" on the seesaw of life he has planted himself, near the middle; more; he's got his balance" and he is liable to hold 1t. He knows where he is going and he's on the way; he's divorced himself from the knap-sack of dreams. and has taken up the real burdens of life; he knows that life is not all rose gardens and thistledown, in which to dawdle away the years.
 "The Settled Person." be he old or young, usually stands for all that Is nice and comfy" and "easy going" and pleas ant and they are mighty fine sort of folk to have around the house.
 "Wanted-A Settled Person'-is an ad that really means a whole lot more than It's face value would indicate, and it's not matter of geography when and where they are wanted. because all the world loves a "A Settled Person"-and all the world loves to have one around

ny DOLLY DALRYBIPLn

Black as the ace of spades, her wrin- kIed hands squared firmly upon her hips looking just as round and just as unin- teresting and just as monotonous as a dish pan, an old negro Nanny deliber- stely surveyed a group of what she called "her chillun" few days ago. and hav- ing taken in the situation from to z, she turned to one of the 'grown-ups'- the third son, now perhaps 50 years of age-and said:
 "Marse John, de res ny 'em is still bettah loolsin' dan you is, an dey maybe Is smarter en you, homegrown nevah wuz very smart-an dey say you aint made money lak de res, but youh Ole Mammy's heah ter tell you dat you allus wuz de mos comfortable one in de fambly ter tion uv de crowd. You is a nice, settled pusson.'
 All things considered, I think that was s'some cornpliment" don't you?
 Its pretty good recommendation for a person to have. this thing of a good dis g position and being comfortable to have around the house, 4 Wouldn't you million times rather live with cheerful idiot than be served by an irritable angel of intellectual light. We Just love our "easy going friends, no matter whether they are pretty or clever or brilliant
 They are the human sofa pillows against which we rest our tangled nerves. The creed of the 'easy-going" phioso- pher is the very first week of the Rest Cure itself.
 Don't run to meet the world. and the world will pretty soon drop by, to see why you don't.
 Cleverness, tact, genius, all are all well enough in their pace-the market place but the comfortable person is given the inglenook in our affections; the nature of such an one Is sunshine for the heart and brain.

TO AID INVENTORS.

Workshop For Making

London.-Poor inventors need no
longer starve In little bare rooms
among the chimney pots Of London
slums. nor bewail by the pale light
OF the moon the tragedies of disap-
pointed hopes. London is founding an
inventors club. which is to be a per-
manent exhibition of patents, In
rooms at Holborn Bars. 1t is said to
be novel scheme. the like of which
never has been tried before, the main
object being to bring poor inventors
into close touch with capitalists.
The connecting link between the
two classes is. of course, the patent
market. and in this new club every
kind Of patent is to find house room.
from hatpin protector to a weird
lever traction patent, the inventor Of
which says he can make a steamship
travel across the Atlantic in two days
But no takers" are to be allowed in
the exhibition; no sideshows will be
allowed to enter the doors, for every
application for space is closely scruti-
nized. and only really serious inven,
lions will be admitted.
Every year a grand prize, gold and
silver medals, and diplomas will be
granted to those exhibitors whose pat
ents are, in the opinion of a commit
tee of experts, the best of the year.
Workshops for making models are
to be erected, and there are to be
separate British. colonial and foreign
sales departments.
Perhaps the most remarkable inven-
ton at present under the roof of the
market is the patent lever traction
Its modest claim is that 1t acts as a
real accelerator. and If employed could
make battle ships travel twice as
quickly as they do now. The same
aid to propulsion can be applied to
sailing vessels. railway engines. auto
mobiles and road vans. By its use
lifeboats cannot capsize and barges
may travel without the aid of horses.
