 oh, 1t is not easy to cast aside these rious things. even for a few minutes, alone few hours. especially if one .,as allowed oneself to get too dccr into the rut.

 M ny businesses are ruined by noth- inG more than because the firm Is down a ,ut and will not get out. Many Businesses are saved because the rut hns noen discovered in time and the firm ,ns manfuily climbed out of it. X good way to get out of any rut. mental or physical is to change the routine a little. Don't think so much about yourself and the business. Get cut and 20 to things that are lively md ejverting. read books of any kind trat interest you. Mingle with people on pleasure bent and go to church and listen to sermons on subjects that d. rot treat of business. You will ind that there Is q whole lot in the world besides what you could see from the rut and you will also discover that there are many new ideas and thought that had not come to you but which ...n he applied to the business for its nivalc. mcnt.

One of the very worst habits in the world is the habit of getting into rut and staying there. It is bad to get into a manual rut and 1t is bad to get into physical rut and either habit is mighty hard habit to overcome.
 The average man of business gets into a nut and 1t Is bad for the man. fer his family and bad for the business. Moreover the longer he drags himself along In the rut the deeper the rut gets. until finally 1t is SO deep that he cannot see over the edges of 1t and he doesn't know that there is great big world outside of the rut. full of vital and interesting objects and sug- eestions.
 Right here. when the business man reaches the point when he cannot see ever the rut that he has been travel ing in for years is when his business is most likely to go down hill.
 There arc right now men who not only arc wearing down rut for them selves. but they started in . rut. the one that father left them. This rut was already pretty deep when the man took hold of 1t and he has plugged along in 1t year after year until 1t Ia now so deep that a derrick couldn't lift him out and # he did manage to get up into the fresh air of advance ment he would probably be killed by the shock.
 People often complain that business Is bad. Very true, at times business is bad. but 1t is good deal worse for the man down in the rut than It is for the man who has kicked him. self free from the well worn path and dc monstrated something original.
 When the brain has been in the rut 100 long 1t Is almost impossible to pry tt cut but 1t can be done.
 Cne bad rut to get into Is the ono where n man thinks that business is going to the bow vows if he isn't on the job every minute of the day and thinking about the job half of the night. A proper attention to business details is of course necessary. but one continuous and concentrated thought on business and self is bad thing for both.
 If r,an can for Q few ours every day throw the cares of business en- tircly away. forget for even a little time the perpiexities. tho worries and the figures. hc will have accomplished much in the way of setting out of the rut.
 He will find after q few hours of recreation that he can give more and better thought to the problems that confront him than if he had kept his weary mind grinding always on the subject. Tho mind Is refreshed by the relaxation and what refreshes the mind refreshes the body.
 It is hard to cast aside the worries that come with the management of business. or with the following of a rryfcs-,on and yet if the habit of cast isg 1t ali aside. for little time each day can be c,rmed ono will be able to brir, rnoro of energy. more of con-

The steamship Cristobal sailed out of New York harbor today with the first battery of guns to be mounted on the defcuses of the new Panama canal That Is cheerful news. Much more cheerful than some of the honorable gentlemen In the senate and house of representatives of the United States wish us to hear. for some of these gen tlemen actually disaproved of fortIfy- ing the great inter oceanic waterway that we have built.
 1t is q remeakable thing that some of the governors of this land of ours. if we may call the congiomerate body composing the legislative branch by so distinguished title as governors i'm plies. have never been able to see the necessity of preparing for the defense of the great land that we have hewn out of the virgin wilderness of North America or for the protection of the empire in the way of colonies and out lying possessions that we have builded from the fragments of the earth that have come into our possession either by peaceful means or by conquest.
 We have left our own coasts de- fenseiess. . pray for any foreign foe that may wish to attack us. We have escaped 1t more by good luck than good management. We have re- lied upon tho vastness of our terri tory and tho prompt response of our manhood to the call to arms to repci invasion or to make invasion impossi- hle. We have replied upon these two fs rces and yet had tho time come or sfould the time come now when for eign foe assails our shores we would find that thousands upon thousands os good American lives would have to b.. sacrificed to make up for the dila- tcrlousness of the men who rule us.
 Sending guns to the Panama canal scne is an excellent and necessary thing and we should send not one bat tcry but many batteries of those in- svrance agents of peace. To half do the job is as bad as not doing fl ot nii.
 Tn this connection there is another matter that 70 far the legislative gen. tiemen who are having the guns sent tu the canal have overlooked It ia . very serious omission and 1t might render the guns useless and the money appropriated for their construction thrown away. That is the lack of men |lo- man tho guns once tho engineers hays put them in place.

sandaIwood Monopoly in Mysore.

Consul Henry d. Baker, on special
service in India: A most remarkable
gain has occurred in the value ,realiz-
ed by last years sale of sandalwood
by the Mysore government, which
controls a practical monopoly of the
worlds supply of the high grades used
for medicines and for scents. At this
sale the usual quantity of about 2,50C
tons offered brought about $750,000 as
against $685. 900, the value of the
sandalwood sold during the years
l910-1011. The general previous aver
age, with unimportant variations, for
the past ten years has been about
$4,000 annually. This extraordinary
increased value has brought a quite
unexpected substantial increase in
revenue ton the Mysore government,
and has been in the nature of 6. sud
den cutting of a big melon" for the
benefit Of this native province Of
southern India. .Saz
The reasons for the almost, doubling
of tho value of sandalwood within a
year, while the price had previously
never shown much fiuctuation,S are rot
at all understood by the. officials Of
the tMysore government, and they are.
greatly surprised by the high prices
offered by European dealers, Whp gave.
no explanation as to the Of the,
unusual dumand. 1t is thought, how,
ever, thai some new important use.
has been discovered for sandalWood
by some manufacturing interests who:
are keeping the matter a secret. 1t
is net known whether or not to ex-'
pect these high values to continue.
The chief sandalwood area, of the.
world, producing about seven-eighthsi
of the total annual supply, includes a
belt in Mysore. about $40 miles long

Physician Claims TO Have Discovered
It in Venom of Toads.
Philadelphia Cor. New York World:
Dr.. L. G, Rowntree, a young scientist
of John Hopkins University, who for
merly practiced in Camden, N. j., left
Philadelphia for Europe, taking, with
him a box of gigantic South American
toads. These animals secret a particu-
larly virulent venom In the large
glands on each side Of the head. When
attacked they have the power of elect
ing this poison with deadly effect.
1t is estimated that a lose OF one.
t~housandth of a gram will throw a
guinea pig into violent commissions
and ultimately cause death. The dead
illness of this toxin closely approx
mates that of the protein extractor the.
castor bean called "ricin", hitherto the,
most deadly poison known. The scien-.
tific name for these creatures is aqua
marinus. They are said to reach
sometimes a length of eight inches and
to prey, upon field rats and small birds.
DR.. Rowntree discovered in expert
stimulant, acting directly upon the
cardiac muscle, when administered in
sufficient dilution. 1T is declared that
in the future this drug will supplant
digitalis ands@other.- heart stimulants
because of its greater potency and the
ease with which quantities of it. can
be obtained.
Hitherto reptilian or amphibian ven
ON never have been extremely used in
medical practice, as they are prone to
cause what is known as "haemolysis'',
or destruction Of the red blood corpus
Giles and subsequent fatal anemia. DIR.
Rowntree thinks he has solved this
problem. for he says that his prepare
ton exhibits one of the properties.
The doctor expects to visit Munich
and some Of the other great medical
centers of Germany in order to demon
strate his discovery.

This Mulhall evidence is the best
