inspiration in Regret.

The life without regret is the life
without gain. Regret is but the light
OF fuller wisdom from our past, il
Illuminating our future. 1t means that
we are wiser today than we were yes.

sponsibility, new privileges. it is a
new chance for a better life. But II

useless; it must become the revelation
Of new possibilities, and the inspira;

them, each other; as love increases

HOW planets Game Into Reirq,,.

From the striking relation Of plan.
etary motions, a British scientist has
made the deductions that the planets
grew out of scattered material each
bringing the next into, being by per.
turbation, with Jupiter as the starting
point, and the only planet with an
original nucleus. From the :lawi.ot
evolution worked out, it is concluded
that the nearest planet beyond k.Nep;
tune should be, AIS as far from the 1e'
sun as the earth, and comparable
with Neptune in size. ; ,I +. HI. f y IA

Courtesv Simply Kindness.

Courtesy is doing that which moth.
ing under the sun makes you do but
human kindness. Courtesy springs
from the heart; if the mind prompts
the action, there is reason; If there
be a reason, it is not courtesy, for
courtesy has no reason. Courtesy is
good will; and good will is prompted
by heart full of love to be kind.

Generosity and Courtesy.

q Only the generous man is truly cour-
teous-he gives freely, without a
thought of receiving. anything in re-

Kindness to such an extent that he
considers everyone as good as himself
-and treats others not as he should
like to be treated (for generosity asks
nothing), but as he ought to be treat.

Quality, Keynote Of British Crops.

Quality must always be the keynote
of British agriculture, as the area is
far too small to enable farmers to
grow the quantities OF produce that
the newer countries of the world can
yield; and in no connection is quality
of greater Importance than that Of the
cereal crops. Wheat, oats and barley
will occupy considerable portion of
the land, and the condition in which
they are put on the market substantial

SandalWood Monopoly
Cuts S750,OO0 Melon

MYSORE, India, Sept. IA most
remarkable gain has occurred in the
value realized by last years sale of
sandalwood by the Mysore govern
ment, which controls practical
monopoly OF the worlds supply of
the high grades used for medicines
and for scents. AT this sale the usual
quantity OF about $500 tons offered
brought about s750,000. as against
1881 600, the value of the sandalwood
sold in 1901.
This extraordinary increased value
has brought a quite unexpected sub
stantial increase In revenue to the
Mysore government. and has been In
the nature of a sudden cutting of a
big melon" for the benefit of this
native province of southern India
The reasons for this almost doubling
of the value of sandalwood within a
year, while the price had previously
never shown much fiuctuation, are not
at all understood by the officials of
the Mysore government. and they are
greatly surprised by the high prices
offered by European dealers, who
gave no explanation as to the cause
Of the unusual demand.
IT Is thought, however, that some
new important use has been discov-
cred for sandalwood by some manu-
featuring interests who are keeping
the matter a secret. 1t is not known
whether or not to expect these high
values to continue. The sandalwood
trade Is controlled chiefly by about
half a dozen leading European firms.
who act as agents IN their purchases
In Mysore for medicine manufacturers

Chinese Feeds His
Horse on SaWdust

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept ia
local Chinese possessed Of a horse
and imagination. has come to grief
through trying to- use the latter in
feeding the former. John had very
little use for the horse, and he found
that. like the oriental of olden time
who begged an elephant from the sui
tan. the beast was an expense to him
instead of source of income In
other words. John discovered that il
cost good Melican money to feed his
mighty steed.
1t is right here that Johns imagina-
tion comes in. He found that from a
local sawmill he could get all the
sawdust he desired without money
and without price. Why not feed his
horse on nice, delicious sawdust? No
sooner thought than done. 1t is not
on record just how John got the horse
to eat the stuff. but there is reliable
authority for the statement that he
fed IL nothing else for several days
The horse did not seem to have as
much Imagination as John. and he did
not thrive on the sawdust diet. Some
one noticed that the horse could
hardly stand, and upon questioning
the Chinaman learned of his UNIQUE
plan to save feed money. The Hu-
name society was notified, and now
John has been allowed to remain ir
possession of his horse upon his faith
full promise to feed him well in the
future and not to repeat the sawdusi
experiment.

BURGLARY NOW
DEMANDS SKILL
Opportunity for Men Of Edu-
cation to Become RafleS
Never So Good

LONDON, Sept 13-Such Of the 1913
crop of college graduates as have
not yet chosen a career may be in
terested to learn that, according to
the chairman of the Middlesex ses-
sions, the opportunity for men Of
education in the burglary business
was never so good as now The igno-
rant Bill Skies type has ceased to
exist, to be superseded by the gen
teel and erudite Rafles.
Sir Robert Anderson, formerly of
Scotland Yard, without committing
himself to the correctness of the view
expressed, declares that If 1t is true
1t is due to the fact that punish
ment is now much lighter than for
merly and that long sentences have
disappeared. He thinks present
methods tend to increase crime.
Il remember that once a friend of
mine, who was a minister, went to
New York, where he was shown
over the prisons" said Sir Robert
''As he was speaking to a well edu-
Gated prisoner on the sadness of his
position, the man replied, You have
fox hunting in England Sometimes
you get a bad fall while hunting.
do you not? I have had a bad fall.
but that is no reason why I should
give up the sport
That is the point of view OF the
educated prisoner. He considers the
risks, and If they are not too heavy
he continues TO prey on society. The
only way to deal with him is to
make these risks so heavy that he
will not care to incur them"
