BE a Live Wire.

The man who arrives, has will, has
a vision and looks into the future to
make life worth while. In business he
is not satisfied to do the work that is
before him; he will do the work OF the
other man; he can do two mems work
as well as one, writes John ID. Rookie
feller Jr., in Leslie's. He is the kind
of man you can not down. The same
may be said of the human live wire
as of the material live wire. He is a
man whose life has been planned, who
makes each day in his life count. Like
the other live wire, the human live
wire must be connected at both ends
at one with source of power, and
that is the power of God. A dead
weight or a live wire? 1t is not what
we have been, but what we are going
to be. The choice is yet to be made.
Is it to continue drifting? Shall it be
that or shall it be the life of the man
who is the live wire? There was never
a day when there was such demand
for human live wires.

HAVE A SENSE OF MEMORY
Experiments Prove That Horses Are
Capable of Remembering Either
Pleasure or Pain.

The horse is generally considered a
stupid animal, and so he is about
many things. But he certainly has a
mind of kind. A correspondent in
the Glasgow, Scotland, News, tells of
an animal which conveys his majesty 8
mails from the postoffice to the sta
tion, and he is actually capable of cal
culating particular runs.
1t is the practice of his driver to
lunch previous to taking away the
sixth load of mail and, being rather
deficient in molars himself, his horse
falls heir to the crusts of his masters
piece" Occasionally, for the delec-
tation of the staff, he endeavors to de-
part with the sixth load without eat
ing the lunch or handing over the
crusts; but his calculating horse can
not be induced, even with chastise-
ment, to leave until the customary
feed has been forthcoming.
The same animal on another run
enjoys a delicacy in the form of ba-
mana skins at the station, and should
the supply of skins ever run out, let
ters would be delayed.
Some horses show by their man
ners that they don't forget when they
have suffered pain from operations.
such as firing and docking.

however, a great scarcity of water,

Animal TRAINING.

Most people have heard of the cele-
brated calculating horses of Elberfeld,
who can do anything up to calculating
square roots, in addition to being pro-
ficient at spelling 1t would now APP
pear, according to the Paris Press,
that although these feats are actually
performed they are due to a very
clever device An animal trainer has
informed the Matin that he has util-
lied system of wireless telegraphy
for training animals to do all sorts OF
tricks. The receiver displaced on the
horses bride, while the trainer or an
assistant mainipulates the transmit
ter, and by code of signals, which
are not difficult to teach, the animals
can be made to give any desired AN
swer." 1t is suggested that this sys-
tenn is used in the case OF the cele-
brated Elberfeld horses. Prior to the
utilization of wireless telegraphy, the
trainer mentioned employed method
of signals by means of toothpick.

PL0W DEVISED BY ABRAHAM
University of Pennsylvania Has Pic
ture OF Probably First Ma
chine of Its Kind.

The University of Pennsylvania
has Just discovered that 1t owns what
is believed to be the first picture of
the plow invented by Abraham GEN.
turies ago. According to the Egyp-
tologists at the museum, their trans
lations of the hieroglyphics show
that Abraham was the progenitor of
the harvester trust.
While plows undoubtedly were used
before the time of this invention, the
Abraham plow is combination seed
er and planter, and, according to the
inscription on the picture, three men
were necessary to operate it.
The picture was made upon a Baby
1onian brick, which was the custom in
those days. The apparatus had a
tube-like attachment, into which the
seeds were poured. A vessel above
the ground facing the frame of the
plow was used as receptacle for the
seed, and then the harrow was at
tached to the back Of the plow.
The Babylonians sowed and titled
according to Abraham's commands,
and with his invention they feared
neither the ravens nor any other
birds that devoured their grain.

QUESTION REMAINS il PUZZLE
Unable TO Tell just What Country
First Found Value 81
Cotton.

Where did cotton originatey The
question comes up because Brazil
claims that it is indigenous to the
Amazon valley. 1t is a fact beyond
dispute that cotton, from the earliest
ages OF the world, has been grown In
China and for five to ten thousand
years the people of that country have
worn cotton clothes. The same is
true of India. There is no record of a
time when the people of India did not
wear cotton cloth. at least strip OF
it.
On the American continent the rec
ord Is much shorter but equally as
positive. The first white men found
cotton cloth a regular dress of the
Indians of Mexico and the Indians OF
Peru
It is impossible to say where cotton
originated unless it was originated on
two continents. The lost Atlantis
may have connected the old world
with the new, and cotton may have
been carried from the new world to
the old. or it may have been brought
to America many thousands of years
ago. All in all we can see no reason
why Brazil should claim the distinc-
ton of having originated cotton.
Neither Peru, Mexico, Persia nor Chi
ma would consent to that.

HOT WEATHER DRINKS.

During the hot weather there Is
great demand for cooling drinks, and
we prefer those made at home with
materials which are unquestionabie,
rather than many which are served IN
bottles or at the fountains In the fol-
lowing, there surely will be found one
which will suit the palate of all;
Ginger Water-This Is tn old-fash-
ioned drink which used to be carried
to the fields to refresh the tillers or
the soil who have made our country
what 1t is today. This drink is just
as popular today among the descend
ants Of the early fathers of our coun-
try, and is so easily prepared that 1t
should be more frequently used. Take
a tablespoonful of ground ginger, add
three of sugar and pint of ice cold
water; stir well and serve. In the
olden times they sweetened this with
molasses.
Rhubarb Drink.-This is very re-
freshing as well as wholesome drink
for children. Boil seven or eight
stalks of pie plant in a quart of water
for ten minutes; strain into pitcher
in which has been placed the thin rind
of lemon. Add four tablespoonfuls OF
sugar and let stand for a few hours
before serving.
Oranoeade.-Make a sirup by boil
ing half a pound of lump sugar with
a cup of water Pare four oranges
very thinly, put the rinds in pitch
er and pour on the boiling hot sfrup.
Let stand until cold, then add the
juice of the oranges and six lemons.
Add a quart of ice cold water, and
serve.
Boston Cream.-This is drink
which will keep, and will be ready to
use In an emergency: Take two
pounds Of lump sugar and five pints
of water; boil together fifteen min
Gtes. When cool add half an ounce OF
lemon extract, two ounces of powdered
tartaric acid and the whites OF three
eggs we'll beaten. When quite cold,
bottle When required for use. pour
a few tablespoonfuls of the mixture
in a glass, fill with three parts water,
stir up we'll and add a quarter of
teaspoonful of soda. Stir briskly assd

FIND VALUABLE OLD VOLUMES
British Museum Gets Two Copies @
the "Ly of our Lady'-Copies
Are Rare.

London.-The British Museum has
just secured two copies of the only
two leaves known of the so-called sec
ond edition of the "Lyf of our Lady
by John Lydgate, printed by Caxton
about 1884 in folio.
Some time ago the librarian OF the
ST. Bride Typographical Library, Mr.
r. A. Peddie, discovered among a col
lection of pamphlets and other papers
originally the property of William
Blades bundle Of early printed
leaves and fragments of leaves wrap
ped in leather binding from which
the boards had been removed. On in
vestigation it was discovered that the
whole of the printed matter was from
Caxton's press and the binding itself
was from his workshop. There were
thirty-eight leaves OF the Boethius,
printed about 147S, and there appear
ed to be little doubt that the binding
originally belonged to the Boethius
and that the careful disintegration OF
the boards had resulted In the remain
ing fragments.
Among these fragments these six
copies of the two leaves before re-
ferred to were discovered. One leaf
was still pasted on the binding The
"Lyf of our Lady" contains ninety-six
leaves and there are eight copies now
known to be in existence.

light, with which it was confused by
mariners many years ago.
A year ago the scheme of a local
land company to acquire the light
house was defeated by the hue and cry
that was raised by citizens of Scituate
and patriotic societies all over the
country In the town meeting last
March the town raised 81, 700 for the
purchase of the lighthouse.
The story of the heroic Bates girls
may be found in many Of the histories
of the Bay state. The two young
daughters of Aaron Bates, the light
keeper, lived with their father on the
then lonely strip Of beach half mile
from the village of Scituate.
One day when their father was in
his fields mile from the lighthouse
a British man-o'war came in and an
chored half mile off the shore. The
boatloads of sailors started ashore.
The invasion of Scituate was undoubt-
edly prevented by the two girls, who,
taking from the wall a fife and drum
which had been carried by their grand
father in the revolution and on which
they had frequently practiced, they got
behind a sand hill and struck up
Yankee Doodle" to such good effect
that the sailors returned to the ship,
which sailed away. The girls have
been called the American Army or
Two"
