THEIR MINDS FOCUS WRONG
Why Many Persons Fail to Perceive
Events Clearly and In the Right
Proportion.

The veriest amateur In photogra-
ply knows that view of an object
may be completely distorted by being
out of focus, and thus give an entirely
wrong notion of it's relative proper
tons. To get the correct focus the
eye of the camera must be neither too
close nor too far from what is to be
photographed
So It Is with the human vision
though merely a mental photograph
the same precision of focus is neces
sary to arrive az relative. values. The
trouble with too many people is that
their minds focus wrong. and grasp
events at either too near or too great
distance. or from extreme angles, or
magnify uEirnpcrtant details at the
expense OF the vital clements
The man WHO Is out of focus with
his surroundings or with the subject
he is discussing is quite common. and
the peculiar IDEAS of which he be-
comes obsessed are as bizarre as a
photograph made By q freak camera
To get such mar back into focus is
much more diff cult than to adjust a
lens. yet that ;a precisely what must
be done in order to give him clear
perception and enable him to see
things in their right re'ation.-Onaha

minister Review.
The fete is as old as the Revolution.
when It first seems to have begun In

the Debats- There was a procession
of oxen. with their horns crowned
with flowers. followed by children
crowned with violets. by young men
wreathed with myrtle. and old men
with garlands of olives and girls
dressed as vestal virgins.
At Paris in August 1897. there was
a great festival In honor of the old
men. who were all given seats at the
Opera. when "a gracious Hebe crowned
their white locks with garlands of
roses" and the soldiers presented
arms The idea of the fete was the
encourag ement of the family circle
The old man. who was a happy grand

Here is story, or bit of advice
that is worth remembering. 1t tells
of girl who is a joy to her parents,
a ray of sunshine in the home, and
who later when she has home of
her own, will be the kind of wife
that is the best kind that it is pos
sible to find. Here is the story: An
old gentlemen was heard to remark
the other day: "Once 1 was young,
now I'm old and I've never seen a
girl unfaithful to her mother that
came to be worth a one-eyed button
to her husband. 1t isn't guess, it
isn't exactly in the Bible, but it is
written large and awful in the life of
a misfit home. If one of you ever
come across a girl with face full of
roses, who says as you come to the
door: Il can't go for 80 minutes for
the dishes are not washed you wait
for the girl; you sit down on the
doorstep and wait for her. Because
some other fellow may come along
and carry her off and right there you
have lost an angel. ''-Cofeyyill Jour
