life would be without the newspapers ?
The newspaper goes into the home,

You can buy an almanac now for
penny or less, and a tradesman will
send you one with his compliments
for nothing, but the first printed
specimen published at Nuremberg. In
1475, WEE thought such a wonderful
thing that it was sold at ten golden
crowns a copy-more than its weight
In gold. The first English printed al
manac was the "Shepheards' Kalen-
dar," translated from the French, and
printed by Richard Pynson in 1497.
and the first popular almanac of the
"Old Moore" type was the "Pronos-
tyacyon of Mayster John Thybault,
medycyner and astronomer Of the
Emperyall Majestic of the yeare OF
our Lorde MCCCCCXXXIJ." Besides
prophesying wars, revolutions and
the death CT kings" that early al
manac told you the proper day to
take physic. Monday was the day for
ailments Of the legs. Tuesday for af-
fections OF the head, etc. But what
the unfortunte sufferer was to do
who had a pain on the wrong day 1t
does not state, says the London
Chronicle. You must take pains at
the proper time.

MISTAKES AND MOTIVES.

The world is freer to criticise mis-
.ake than to consider motive. 1t
Is working the fiddle-strings of popu-
lar applause for all they are worth.
The man who. refusing to play TO the
galleries. goes on doing the best he
knows how. acting from q sincere mo-
i've, suffers some disparagement. He
does not succeed often In getting the
world to examine the why's and
wherefores OF his action, because It
Is not In line with what at the time
the world regards as proper. says the
Omaha Bee. The truth is, words are
overvalued in the mart of public dis
sussion and deeds pay the penalty OF
The shorts. There is too much wa
tered stock IN one and too little at
tention to the intrinsic value Of the
other. Words are good and only 30
when backed by deeds" That Is the
maxim of the man with a motive to
tinge his. mistake upon, however
unfairly some of the old friends OF
this truism may be treating It An
ancient wise man phrased the same
principle another way: For as he
thinketh in his heart. so Is he" He
who moves from the standpoint OF
stern conviction may make mistakes.
but he is a much safer man to follow
than the one who trains his wireless
to catch the currents Of Hopular
thought.

MINE RATS SWARM

Suspension of Work in the An
thracite Region Leaves Them
Without Kind Friends

Wilkesbare, Pa.-The suspension OF
mining in the anthracite region the
past several weeks has brought about
a plague of rats in most of the mining
towns. Rats are TO be seen every
where. They have overrun the cell
lars and outbuildings In the towns OF
Warrior Run and Sugar Notch. When,
the mines are working the rats, which
are of great size, make their home In
the underground workings. The min
ers make pets of them and feed them
from their pals.
The average miner is superstitious

That some of the men who were

The treasurer of Massachusetts bank
is reported to have died of infection from
handling bank notes. Death was caused
by complications following blood poisoning.
This incident calls attention in a tragic
manner to the necessity for improving the
condition of the bank notes in general cir
culation.
Some of the bills are so filthy that they
are not fit to handle. The remedy for this
condition is very simple.
All that is necessary Is for the banks,
trust companies and other financial mstitu-
tions to retire the notes as they come in.

The application of the term '1u1k" has
been extended to such a great degree that
in many cases it is incorrectly used.
While it is true that many instances Of
good or bad fortune can only be ascribed
to 'luck"-such as the finding of a purse
or the loss of an arm by accident-the term
cannot be used in cases where some one has
had financial circumstances or position
changed by application, education, ability
as well as other factors.
1t cannot be doubted that some persons
are affected more than others by luck, but
the meaning of the word should be con-
s and not applied to incidents controlled
