HOW TO SPOIL.

dong them often.
HOW TO SPOIL.
To spoil farm-rent it.
To spoil your temper-fret.
To spoil your friends-hatter them.
TO spoil an appetite-eat every halt
hour.
To spoil an opportunity it pass.
To spoil home-ill it with family
liars"
To spoil influence-do one thing and
say another.
To spoil business-let others attend
to it.
To spoil good intentionsEnever carry
them out.
To spoil an of1ice-get above your
| business.
To spoil time-retire late and sleep
| in the morning.
To spoil house plants water them
too much.
To spoil breakfast grumble all the
time you are eating.
What is the good of spying holes in
peoples coats when we can't mend
them? Talk of my debts if you mean
to pay them; if not. keep your red rag
behind your ivory ridge. A friends
faults should not be advertised and
even a strangers should not be pub
lished. He who makes fool of an
other is fool himself Don't get into
the habit of laughing at other people,
for the old saying is "Hanging's
stretching, and mocking's catching"
TESTING is too apt to turn into jeering,
and what was meant to tickle makes a
wound 1t is a pity when your mirth
is another mans misery. Before d man
cracks a joke he should consider how
he would like it himself; for many who
give rough blows have very thin skins.
Give only what you would be willing
to take; some men throw salt on others,
but they smart if pinch of it falls on
their own raw places. When they get
Roland for their Oliver, or a tit for
tat, they don't like it, yet nothing is
more just. Biters deserve to be bitten.
The old-fashioned Office boy, who
swears, smokes cigarettes and is i'm
pertinent usually, and reads dime novels
in corner, or loafs when he is sent
on an important errand, is fast disap-
pearing, and it is predicted that in the
course of time the Office girl will have
entirely taken his place.
The mother heart does not need soft
satin and lace and embroidered linens
and rose-hooded candles to make itself
felt. 1t beats just as devotedly and
happily under cheap cottons as under
silken folds; it watches in the silence
of the night by the lowly couch of
some little sufferer as tenderly as it
does by the side of some other little
patient in the splendid mansion; it
reaches out to the convict behind pris-
on doors with the same love that glor-
les in the success of renowned states
man. Mother love in it's countless
combination furnishes theme as old
as the hills perhaps, but one from
which the noblest of inspirations are
drawn. In nearly all relations of life.
from those of blood to those of friend
ship, wonderful combinations can be
made binations which illustrate
to the world the great heights which a
pure love can attain, combinations
which act as gigantic refectors which
not only send light into dark places,
but which draw all within reach into
the circle of their brightness.
The main thing with children is to
have them well started with good prin-
ciples which they will carry through
life. Obedience, truth, unselfshness,
purity are essentials, and these can all
be lovingly cultivated, and will flourish
in the right home atmosphere.

"MY DEMON MOTOR BoAr."

By George Fitch. Pictures bv Albert Lev
 erlng and c. C. Widney. Little Brown
 & Company, Boston.
 Suppose your motor boat has stopped nine miles from dinner. and you have tested the electricity. adjusted the car bureter cleaned the gasoline pipe. found the pump in working order cleaned the spark-p plug, ruined q S2 shirt-and, in short. have demonstrated to your satisfac- ton that there is nothing the matter with the engine except the fact that if will not run. This has taken you two hours, in the course of which you have cranked the engine 19s times. It Is then time to give up and paddle home with seat bottom. thus disgracing yourself in the eyer of all enthusiasts? Hardly You have just begun. It is now time to try the fol- lowing;
 | Remove spark-plug. empty carbu- reter-and crank the engine
 9. Sandpaper the fiy-wheel. take off the commutator- and crank the engine.
 B. Kick the pup. blow cigarette smoke in the primlng cocks-and crank the en- zine
 4 Disconnect the propeller reverse the ensign, empty the gasoline tanlg-and crank the engine.
 5 Repeat a verse from the Koran. tie wet towel about the cylinders. take off the iuDFlc5iOiS-dNd cfdnk the engine.
 G. Take the motor entirely apart put it together with your fingers crossed, drop a quarter in the tank-nnd crank the en- zine.
 l. Crank the engine suddenly. without doing anything else. This often surprises It into running.
 & Turn your coat inside out. oil the rudder. throw the gasoline strainer over board stuff a cushion in the f1ywheel- and crank the engine.
 g. Repeat the names of the prophets in Arabic put a gumdrop in the cylinder, write your candid opinion of all gasoline engines on the stern. roll up your cuffs. connect the batteries with your watch. take off your necktie. yell Heir into the gasoline tank-and crank the engine.
 There isn't the least sense in any of thesa rules Yet each one has started an enesne in it's time.
 All this and much more clever MT. George Fitch tells yon in 'fMy Demon Motor Boat which Is just as bright and readable as lf can be-right in line with his Siwash Tales.

 We heartily agree with the author that never was there such an aggregation of talent assembled about any board as that around the regal board of Travers. on the night he rediscovered himself and his drowned wife Of years gone by.
 The Fourth Generation and Made moiselle Mimi" are the best of the stories, the one an excellent diagnosis of heredl- tary and the other a powerful disserta- ton against international marriages.

Cnmmupication With Moving Trail

Cnmmupiration With Moving Train.
CHICAGO Tribune.
The "railophone," an invention
for communicating with moving
trains. has been given a practical de-
monstration in England. Several
tests were made, and among the feats
accomplished were the stopping of a
train that had been allowed to run
past a danger signal and the trans
mission of message and its reply
between a station and train.
Briefly the system comprises an in
sulated wire laid alongside the track
and connecting to apparatus at signal
cabins and stations, and pair of coils
wound on frames around the railroad
cars. one for sending and the other
for receiving. The system, operates
by induction, and an essential feature
is 2. relay which can only be iperated
by the periodic impulses that convey
the signals and is not affected by the
non-periodic vibrations caused by the
movement of the train.

TO PREVENT BLUNDERS.
Official Book on What to Wear at
: English Court.
) London Standard.

, London Standard.
The problem of the correct dress
to be worn at court, which has al
ways been a source of doubt and anx-
iety even to those who have attended
royal functions for many years, has
beSn simplified by the publication,
under the authority of the lord cham
berlain, of the book, Dress Worn at
Court"
This exhaustive work deals with
every detail, from the number and
position of buttons on a coat to the
smallest item in the trappings of a
horse ridden on royal occasions.
The author is Herbert Trandell, NJ.
v. O., chief clerk OF the lord cham
berlain's department, st. James pal
ace. who for many years has made
close study of the question. AS an
additional safeguard against inaccu-
racy. all the details have been check
ed by the departments and authori-
ties concerned.
The work was originally compiled
during the reign of Queen Victoria,
and enlarged by Mr.. Trandell in the
reign of King Edward, but owing
to alterations which have been made
in recent years in dress regulations
for courts, levees, state balls, evening
state parties, and other official func-
tions, it has been found necessary to
publish the present edition.
Illustrated by numerous colored
plates, prepared from the actual uni
forms, the book will take it's place as
the standard work of reference on all
details of court dress, and will be as
indispensable to the office OF the
court tailor as to the library of the
wearer of the dress.
No department has been overlook
ede The reader finds, for example,
the distinction in the dress worn by
the page of honor when his majesty
is in Scotland and Ireland detailed
. in the most interesting manner, and
wherever the wearer of special dress
has occasion to be mounted, the trap
pings of the horse are minutely set
OUT.
Several pages deal exclusively with
the details of the uniforms worn by
Officers in civil employ under the
government of India, eInbodying the
Regulations arrived at in connection
SBwith the Dubar. Excellently clear
of the new and old
styles of court dress are given, which>
should eliminate once and for all the
confusion between the two styles
which has occurred SO frequently in
recent years. The book announces in
connection with the new style of court
6-es- that the regulation allowing
velvet trousers to be worn with it has
been cancelled.
Among other dresses described are
those of his majestyis -bargemaster
and watermen, who are in evidence
duriag the royal visit to Henly.
