emotional coloring associated with 1t.
We are enraptured with the notes OF
the peepee in spring, or the earlier
piping Of the frogs, not because these
sounds In themselves possess any In.
trinsic sweetness, but because they
recall endearing memories of many
happy, hopeful springtimes. They are
always the harbingers of another yer.

Lies HeaIlnqs.

OF all the amazing forces Of nature
---her thunder and cataracts, oceans in
wild storm and volcanoes in floods of
molten rock, and those hidden mon
ster-powers Of electricity, gravitation
and chemic affinities-the most Won
derful Of all is her healing power, her
ability to get over anything, her In
finite resources of recovery.
Haven't you often wondered why
the whole world did not die of the
cholera? And those other plaques no
one seems able to stay, the typho. the
smallpox, the bubonic plague, be
sides the awful pests Of history, the
red death and the black death; why
have any Of them ceased at all?
One reason of this Is that the four
huge rooms in nature'e house are full
Of health supply. These rooms are
sunshine, water, air and earth.
For Natures other name is The
Healer. She Is the original and
only cure-all.
And all this Ia quite as true in the
realm Of mind and soul as it is in
the realm of body.-Woman's World.

Horse LIN a Tree

Visitors to Ferry Bar were much
surprised yesterday morning to see a
horse up among the branches of a
tree. The animal had got in its un-
comfortable position by falling ten
feet from a bank that overtopped the
tree. The tree probably saved the
horses life.
Blocks and fall were fastened to a
tree stump on top Of the hill and
leather belts were wrapped about the
horse. When the work of hitching
the belts was completed 1t was found
that the animal could not be rescued
until several Of the limbs Of the tree
were cut of. This took considerable
time, during which the horse rested
and watched the work Of the score or
more of men who were trying to re-
lease him. With the removal of the
last limb the horse was slowly drawn
to the top Of the bank from which he
had fallen. A close examination re-
vealed that outside Of a few
scratches he was unhurt. Baltimore

LONG EMBEDDED IN AMBER

Curiosity.

Files in amber are not uncommon.
but a dragon fly, almost perfect, is

sect 1t contains. This particular
dragon fly fitted about over the
marshes of what biologists call the
tertiary period, tens or hundreds of
thousands Of years ago, and was en-.
quilted by the resin that flowed from a
pine tree. This resin, in the course
of ages, turned to the stone that we
now call amber. Several thousand
species of fossil insects have been
found in amber but this is one of the
finest ever seen.

ALWAYS TIME FOR COURTESY
Even In This Age of Rush and Hustle
the Wise Person Will Never
Neglect II.

Life Is not SO short but there IL
always time enough for courtesy"
So says the wisest of American phil
osophers, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and
all will agree with him.
1t Is said, however, that this most
pleasing quality has deteriorated since
the days Of chivalry, and since the
time has grown so short for the ac-
complishment of all that we have to
do In this busy, busting world. But
this should not be. Gracious courtesy
Is well worth the trouble which 1t en-
tails. It costs but so little to bestow,
and yet means so much to the recipi-
ent.
Lord Lytton, the polished novelist
and gentleman, tells us: what a rare
gift is that OF manners! How difficult
to define-how much more difficult to
impart!"
The receipt Is given by Emerson
in these few words, Good manners
are made up of petty sacrifices"
Not big sacrifices, but petty sacri.
fees. It is the little things that tell.
and the courteous man is careful to
do little things to help his friends
and please them.
where'er they be, all hearts Of gentle
strain
Still cannot choose but courtesy pursue;
For they from nature and habit gain
What they henceforth can never more
undo.
These are the words of the italian
bard, which tell at once Of the need
and the advantage Of courtesy.
But II we would fully appreciate the
charm of courtesy we should view it
In contrast with that most abhorrent
churlishness by which some portion
Of the humanity seem to like to be
distinguished. Let US be courteous
ourselves and learn our manners from
the unmanerly, as did Lucian the fab.
ulist.

Spell Against EVIL Eye.

Southern India is land Of omens

Just published in England. gives an
exhaustive account Of the strange be-
liefs Of these various races, where hui
man sacrifice, though forbidden by
law. persists.
The author cites among other
charms against the evil eye impress,

may be seen on the walls of mosques
and other Mohammedan buildings and
at Kadur on the houses Of Brahmins,

PRESERVED THE OLD STYLE
How One Young Bride Brought Az
mosphere Of the Past Into Her
New Home.

A young bride who went to house.
keeping in her husbands old homo
was very much disappointed to find
that his mother, with the very best
intentions In the world had bought a
lot Of modern furniture and put away
some really antique pieces, because
she thought they were too out of date
to please her boys city wife.
The wife, however, in quiet way
found out that the new furniture had
been purchased with the understand
ing that the bill be settled within six
months. She talked the matter over
with her husband and his mother and
then with the proprietor Of the store,
and, in the end, all the modern" fur
niture was taken back and the same
amount traded out for several beauti-
full rugs and the curtains for all the
rooms on the first floor Of the old
house.
Then the bride went to work and
fixed up all the "old fashioned" furni-
ture which had been stored In the at
tic. A dining table was found and
four chairs to match. These she had
scraped and sandpapered, then filler
applied. and. lastly, good quality var
nish. This, when thoroughly dry was
again rubbed down until the final fin
fish was dull, and the effect was splen-
did. 1t suggested age, but good con-
dition.
The young wife also removed the
screens from the old fireplace and
they laid down new hearth-stones Of
cream brick. And the most delighted
inmate of the home was the mother,
who saw in 1t all vision Of bygone
days.
