MAKING LIFE EASIER


There are thousands of people who mean to be good Christians,
yet who, while talking unselfshness. are continually making life
bard for others by the thoughtlessness in small things which is one
phase of selfshness
People who borrow books and forget to return them until they
are sent for by their owners; people who borrow umbrellas and rain
coats and overshoes, and forget to return them in the same manner,
are in the class mentioned.
Then there are others
Those who drop in to see a busy man or woman and sit for an
hour talking of nothing which benefits them or the other party; and
those who stand in the room for half an hour after they have begun
to 60.
People who write to strangers or mere acquaintance and ask
favors and fail to inclose a self-addressed and stamped envelope;
people who write to men and women in public life and tell their
family histories and personal experiences in 20 pages of dificult-to-
decipher penmanship; people who use pale ink in writing to their
friends; people who date their letters "City" and expect their friends
to remember the street and number.
In the close association of home life among those who are not
able to afford the luxury of separate apartments for each individual,
there are innumerable ways of being ~thoughhess of one anothers
comfort and pleasure.
The tossing of papers and books and garments on divans, beds,
floors and chairs, and where some one must go about to replace
them in their proper receptacles-some one besides the tosser.
Many poor men and many poor women are refined in feeling
who have not the surroundings which insure comfort, unless other
members of the family are considerate. When a man of delicate
feeling is closely associated with a woman who is careless in her
habits, or when a neat woman must live with a man who is neglect
full of the little refnements which order and cleanliness demand,
life is marred and made uncomfortable, even though these men and
women may be loyal and loving and unselfsh in a thousand other
ways.
Life can be made a beautiful thing in the humblest home if
there is real consideration for the feelings and tastes of others
shown by each member.

Rothchilds' Immense Fortune

A statistician has just completed figures which, he asserts,

fortune is estimated at ten millards of franks. A millard is a bill.

Placed at per cent the Rothschild fortune would produce an
annual revenue of sSO.OO0.0OO But this sum is far from being a
reality, as the great part of the Rothschild riches is in property.
In Lancashire they own immense thread mills. while in Germany
they possess numerous coal mines with a capacity OF millions of
tons per annum. In Brazil the Rothschilds own immense rubber
forests, and in Persia factories where the most beautiful carpets in

Not Really Naval Stores.

The terming of turpentine. tar,
pitch and rosiu as naval stores is a
misnomer. II originated many years
ago, when tar and pitch first were
used to coat the bottoms Of vessels to
make them watertight and to cover
the rigging Of ships to preserve 1t
from the action OF the weather. All
ships carried always supply Of tar
among their stores, and hence the
original of the term naval stores" It
was used only by ship builders and
ship owners and others who had to do
directly with shipping, and was nau-
teal term only. Then, when the prod
acts of the gum of the long-leaf pine
came into general commercial impor-
lance, the term was accepted as fit
ting one for all articles of commerce
manufactured from that substance,
and is maintained to this day, al
though the uses that created 1t have
little 10 do with the interests Of the
trade.

CLING TO OLD DESIGNATIONS
Sporting Language That Was Used In
the Middle Ages Is Still Good
Form Today.

Much of the language used In vari-
Gus sports Is our inheritance from the
idle ages. Different kinds of beasts
when in companies were distinguished
by their own particular epithet, which
was supposed to be in some manner
descriptive Of the habits of the ami
mails. To use the wrong form Of these
words subjected the would-be sports
man to ridicule.
Many of these terms have passed
away, but some of them are still re-
tanned. This list from the middle
ages is still good usage today. A pride
of lions" "lope" of leopards, a herd"
of harris and of all sorts of deer;
"bevy" of roses, "sloth" Of bears,
singular" of boars, "sounder" of
wild swine, 'routep of wolves,
"harras" of horses, ray" of colts,
stud" Of mares, pace" Of asses,
barren" Of mules. team" Of oxen,
drove" of kline, flock" Of sheep,
"trite" of goats, "skulk" of foxes,
a down" OF hares, next" of rab-
bits, "clowder" of cats, "shrewd-
ness" of apes and labor" OF moles.
. Also of animals when they retired
to rest, a hart was said to be "har-
bored" roebuck "bedded," hare
formed" rabbit set" Two grey
hounds were called brace" but two
barriers were called couple" There
was also a mute" of hounds for
number, a kennel" Of raches. cit
ter" Of whelps and 'cowardice" of
: ours.
This kind Of descriptive phraseology
was not confined to birds and beasts,
but was extended to the human spe-
cies and the various propensities, ma
lures and callings.

Elephant Most InteIIiaent.

The elephant is by long shot the
most intelligent animal under man.
Some horses know a great deal, some
dogs are exceedingly bright, but for
real sound sense and allaround long
headedness the elephant heads the
list. He is not only bright, he is q
deep thinker and profound philoso-
pher, and has been known to do
things that apparently required moth.
ing less than human intelligence.

animal IN telligence, with the wonder.
full things that our dumb fellow.beings
have done, and while you will find
much to the credit of the dog, horse
and other animals, you will be i'm
pressed with the fact that, next to
man. the brain-power of the elephant
Is the greatest among them all. D.,

First to Use ChIoroform.

Chloroforn an as anaesthetic was
Arst used on the 30th of September,
1876, by DR.. w. T. G.. Morton, a den
list of Boston, in case of tooth ex-
traction, aud thereafter by him In
many difficult operations. The news
Of the discovery reached England in
December, 1916, aud British dentists
Immediately began to use 1t. Sir
James Simpson, u Scotch physician
(1S11-1870) was the first to use 1t In
hospital practice and this he did In
1S47. His discovery was considered
independent of that by the Boston
dentist and in 1866 he was knighted.
He had public funeral when he died

II food Is tasteless without salt, It is

A level teaspoonful of salt is sufficient
for q quart of soup, sauce, or vege-

Salt used once a day is an excellent
