INVENTIONS
We have long been the clearing.
house for inventions. Many Of them
are submitted to US by the inventors
in our locality before anybody else
has a chance 10 see them. Some Of
the new and needed things shown Us
since May 1, this year, are the fol-
lowing:
a luminous keyhole which can be
plainly seen late at night. L is i'm
possible to miss this keyhole, no
matter what may be your condition.
The key is magnetica1y attracted
to the keyhole and II matters not
where you jab the door the first
time the keyhole is right there. The
man who showed us this invention
hoped to make a million dollars our

He merely stops and rubs his right
foot along the calf of his left leg
and the friction generates the cleo

HOROSCOPE.


After early morning the influences
of the stars rule with mild effect, as
trologers declare. The day is unim-
portant, so far as any dominant force
is concerned; but it is counted lucky
for all who follow definite vocations
without specializing or taking need
less financial risks.
Mars is in an aspect read as friend

ergy and ambition are felt, the planet
encouraging activity i'll which initia-
tive counts for much.

But unkind history has thrown
some interesting sidelights on the
personality of this far-famed Lea
nora. History says that she was born
June 10, 1888, and that Tasso first
met her at the court of her brother,
Cardinal d'Este, when Tasso was 20
and she was %. and that at the time
that he was supposed to be suffer-
ing from the sweet melancholy of his
love for her, she was a chronic in
valid of about 40. She was sickly
and pallid and irritable and in the
wane Of a beauty that had never
been great. Although well educated,
she cared neither for music nor for
literature, and she could not abide
ar;. Her only real talent lay in the
direction OF careful housekeeping
She mad a penchant for account
keeping.
What really happened was this.
Tasso being dependent of the cardi-
nal came into daily intimacy with his
sisters, Leanora and Lucretia. From
the first the two sisters felt a keen
interest in the young dependent.

of man, although most of us seem
bent upon lodging the beatific duty.
Few of us are even approximately
happy at all times but most of us
can muster enough cerulean atmos-
phere to answer all practical pur-
poses if we only try. The buffets of
fate have little effect upon him who
is guarded by an envelope of healthy
self-assurance, reinforced by a clean
conscience. Neither can it down the
man who persists in taking the
troubles of life as part of the game
aud refuses to get angry with the
force of circumstances.
Most of the harm and all of the
unhappiness that comes to US come
from within. If you can keep on
good terms with the man under your
own hat you'll get along all right
and won't die early of worry. His
mistakes, his bullheaded blunders,
his attacks are the ones that you
must look out for. Moreover, his
disposition to become peevish and to
lcok at the world as through blue
snectacles darkly are responsible for
nine-tenths of your woes The rest
Of them are chargeable to his more
over shortcomings.
Most of us lose happiness in spend
ing too much time in pursuit OF that
abstract treasure. 1T manifests itself
usually in concrete form and is in
yariably associated with the proper
use of those forms. Hence. to be use
fulsppd busy is to be happy. To

NOTES ON A BELATED stIumrn

The trouble with this section of TN
country and the only trouble is that
there is too much weather and moi
enough climate.
When in doubt as to whether t.
summon the ice man or the coal man
call both of them.
If you want cold weather TO stick
around a long time let the furnace
go out and put up all your screens.
Keep an overcoat at each end of
the line, one at the house and one at
the Office.

Contents Displayed.

Under the direction of the Postmaster
General, the parcels disposed of at the
recent sale We're opened and displayed TO
purchasers so far as conditions would
permit, but the amount of inspection
which could he afforded to bidders was
necessarily slight. While possible legal
objection to the element of chance in pre-
vious sales was fully met. it is probable
a more satisfactory method will be adopt
ed in the future. 1t is thought the de-
partment will not be criticised again for
conducting a lottery SALE, because OF
the new parcel post regulations and the
action expected in response to. the re-
quest of the Postmaster General for leg
islation on the subject.
