your admirable editorial on the

review the remarkable statement
by Judge Roam in denying a new

far as they were printed in the

have heretofore RETAINED from
making any comments or criti-

deeming it an intrusion possibly
to prejudice any one while the
case was pending in court. Now
that the whole matter will be
referred TO the Supreme Court of

exceptions has been signed in
cooperating the remarkable state

TIME line Of honesty is an ex-
ceedingly straight one. It
sometimes gets badly
crooked in the use, but is by ma
ture rectilinear and is the short
est path between duty and per-
Torrance. Small dishonesties are
Of the same nature as big ones,
and by cultivation easily grow
into big ones,
There is no halfway between
straight and crooked, and If we
do not begin by being dishonest
in g small thing there is no dan
ger OF our graduating into a
lsrge-scale deceiver or swindler.
All Of that is very simple and
old-fashioned.
Much is said about the new
morality, the new thought. the
new art, the new religion, and so
forth, but the old is pretty good.
It has stood the racket for a good
while, and we had better stand
by 1t and not fling ourselves away
on fancy innovations till we are
quite sure that they viii make as
good a show IN the working as
what we received from our ia
theirs and graudfathers.
There are forms of inconspicu-
Gus dishonesty worth mention,
which are so frequent as to be
almost respectable, but which
loosen the joints OF character and
occasion no end of annoyance
and some times even distress
one is that Of engaging to do a
given thing at a specific time and
then failing to do It at the time
promised, and postponing It to a
later hour or day. or even not do
ing It at all.
When a promise of that kind Is
made conditionally, with no posi-
tive assurance attached to it, and
with only the understanding on
the part of the one making 1t that
he will do his best to meet the
wishes of the party with whom he

QUEER PLANT THAT COUGHS
Works Itself Into a Rage When Dust
Is Deposited on Its
Leaves.

All have read of c~arnivorous plants,
of laughing plants and of plants that
weep, but who has heard Of a plant
that coughs?
There is the authority of a French
botanist, however, for the statement
that a plant in various tropical re-
gions actually possesses the power
to cough in the most approved man.
ner. The fruit Of this plant resembles
h common broad bean.
1t appears that the coughing plant
is something Of a crank, that it easily
works itself into rage and that 1t has
a curious horror of all dust.
AS soon IS a few grains of dust
are deposited on it's leaves, the air
chambers that cover their faces and
are respiratory organs of the plant
become filled with gas, swell and end
by driving out the gas with a slight
explosion and a sound that resembles

The Difference in Men.

One man will settle down into the
routine Of his calling, digging the
ruts deeper each day, until he loses
power to see out from them. Anoth-
er. in the same vocation, shows an
ability to make each days work a
source Of new growth in power and
in appreciation. So, n person will
rest passively on the fact of. some
well-established love or friendship,
and thus lose, after a time, the beau
ty of the relationship and the mean
ing 1t once possessed for his life;
while another actively woos the love
OF his friend every day, and so finds
a deep, ever opening below deep in
the relationship, with an ever fresh
realization of the truth and wonder
Of life.-Edward Howard Griggs.

SECRET OF POPULARITY
Girl Must Have Some Beauty, Grace
and Intelligence, and Especially
Radiance,

What can q young girl, who 10 neil
Their a great beauty nor q great heir.
ess, nor one to whom the gods stood
sponsor OF birth, do to make herself
popular?
Let US sit down and take our chins
In u hands and think about It
A girl must have, at least in some
small degree, four qualities. There
are children of fortune who have them
all, and in abundance, but as from q
small palette of primary colors q great
picture may be painted, 1ust so out
OF a few elementary attributes quite
wonderful results r possible. The
four qualities Of personality are:
Beauty, grace. intelligence, radi-
ance.
Beauty may be that Of face or ig.
ure, or 1t may be merely an effort of
beauty through style, charm, or even
one of the other three qualities fol-
lowing:
Grace includes not alone symmetry
OF movement, but all accomplish
ments In activity, such as dancing,
skating; swimming, riding, and also
any especial gifts, such as a talent for
music or acting. In other words, the
girl who has the gift of grace Ii the
girl who does things well.
BY intelligence is meant the sympa-
thetic, adaptable quality of mind, rath-
er than that Of the brilliant order. But
the n great attribute that crowns
them all-granting, Of course, some
gift Of the other three-but without
which beauty, grace, cleverness are
all as apples Of Sodom-is the sense
Of enjoyment, the gift Of happiness.
/ don't think l can better define It
than by the word radiance. And best
of all, radiance is a quality that can

Tea Was Not Popular IN, 1858.

A description of a model country
rector's household in an issue of the
London World for 1853 shows that
tea-drinking was then far from gen.
era1: "His only article Of luxury is
tea, but the doctor says he would
forbid that, If his wife could forget
her London education. However, they
seldom offer 1t but to the best COM
pany, and less than a pound will last
them a twelvemonth."
A few years prior to this the Fe-
male Spectator declared that the tea
table costs more to support than
would maintain two children at
nurse; It is the utter destruction of
all economy. the bane of good house
wifery. and the source Of idleness."

NURSES OF $50 YEARS AGO
Old Time Article Tells the Difficult
Duties and Requirements of Their
Profession.

In their History of Nursing" the
authors, Miss Nutting and Miss Dock,
quote from an article written In 1894,
which gives an insight into what was
required Of the trained nurse in the
eighteenth century. The article says:
This occupation Is as important for
humanity as it's functions are low and
repugnant. ALI persons are not
adapted to it, and the heads of hospi-
tails ought to be difficult to please, for
the lives of patients may depend upon
their choice of applicants. The nurse
should be patient, mild, compassion
ate. She should console the sick,
foresee their needs, and relieve their
tedium. The domestic duties of the
nurse are: To light the fires in the
wards and keep them going; to carry
and distribute nour1shment; to accom-
pany the surgeons and doctors on
their rounds, n afterwards to re-
move all dressings, etc.; to sweep the
halls and wards, and keep the persons
Of the patients and their surroundings
clean; to empty all vessels, and
change the patients linen; to prevent
noise and quarreling and distur.
Dances; to notify the steward of
everything they see which is wrong;
to carry out the dead and bury them;
to light the lamps in the evening, and
visit the sick during the night, and
to watch them continually, giving them
every aid which their state requires,
and treating them with kindness and
consideration
