The story is told of a fellow who
while slashing around with a knife
cut his own nose off, relates the Sedg-
wick Paragraph. He stuck it back
again, but in his haste he got his nose
on upside down. He said that he got
along all right except that when out
in the rain he nearly strangled, and
that every time he sneezed he blew
his hat off.
Told by the Atchison Globe: Yes
terday afternoon an Atchison woman
was 'cataloguing' her Christmas gifts,
arranging duplicates for next year,
ETC., when she paused to examine a
from a friend in Boston. Although
one button was missing from a flap
and another hung by a thread, she
recognized it as one she had made
and sent to Albuquerque, N. M, four
years ago. 1t had gone-first to Chi
cago, then to Boston and back to
Atchison. She felt a great sympathy
for this gift, which she herself had
designed and deciding it had ''traS
ed'' enough, put it in the rag bag.
A bashful young man was invited
to dine with a lady friend the other
day, relates the Atlanta Journal. "A
fine feast was spread and the guests
were comfortably seated when the
mirror on the sideboard and discover
ed he had forgotten to comb his hair.
He turned pale, dropped his head and
began to wonder what else he had for
gotten, and being somewhat nervous
dropped his fork and as he was in
the act of picking it up upset his cof-
fee and made g. bad move there. And
being afraid he might make another
mess he dropped his hands in his lap
in despair, and in doing so he touched
the corner of the table cloth. And, oh,
what next! He had forgotten to put
the tail of his shirt in his trousers
and began putting the supposed shirt
back. When the guests arose from
the table there was a smash and a
crash. He had pulled the silverware
and the china all on the floor. He
was seen pulling about three yards
of table cloth from his trousers he
had so carefully put away for his shirt
tail. He took to the woods

says UNCLE CAV

Too much introspection makes for
mental biliousness, but he that keeps
his hands so busy that his brain has
no time for meditation shall presently
find himself either in a rut or veering
hither and thither like a rudderless
ship. Which condition is his depends
entirely upon the original momentum
behind his activities but which it is
makes little difference in the long run.
The .rut-trotter and the storm tossed
incompetent come to the same sad
end. Neither knows where he is go
ing, nor why, and neither is likely to
reach any goal worth while.
The miSconceived ideal of keeping
busy" has ruined more men than it
has made. 1t is true that one who
keeps his hands occupied will keep out
of mischief and do more manual Ia
Dor than the person who .trifles his
time away, but the two conditions are
not alternatives as too many unthink-
ing persons seem to believe. If the
brain doesn't back the hand for adj
vancement, the man who is always oc-
cupied will continue indefinitely to
now engage his @tte ption.s The sue
cessful man is one who, in making his
way up from the bottom, has left
himself enough time and energy from
simple labor to take thought for a
more ambitious task. There is no
hope of anything more profitable for
him who yields ayshovel sixteen hours
a day and drops off to sleep at the
earliest possible moment. If the show
ell takes all his strength, he'll be a
slovenian until old age CIR rheuma-
tism retires him. "A few hours of play
and an hour or two for thought may
make that same Shovelman the en-
ployer of many such. Don't get the
notion that because you keep your
hands busy and your back bent for
longer hours than the other fellow,
you have paid the price of success.
You've only worn yourself out, if you
haven't had time to think about the
job above.
There is an ancient and deceptive
saying that to be master of great
things one must first master those
which are small. It is true enough if
literally and strictly applied. The dead
and forgotten sage who uttered it
doubtless didn't adjure his hearers to
stop there. Excellence in q mental
task is too often an inducement upon
the part of ones employer to keep
him in an undesirable position, while
on the other hand, incompetence in
such duties is no inducement to bet
terment. What is needed is not only
mastery of the duties confronting one,
but a knowledge of higher ones and
an unflagging insistence that one
would be of greater service in a better
place.
time to think only of his daily toll
is likely to lose the larger chance in
life. It is quite certain that he is in
danger of keeping his hands so busy
that his brain has no chance to assert
itself

and considers her obligations ended
The guests come to entertain
themselves. If they don't have a
good time it is their own fault. Every
thing is there for them, everything
except the personal consideration, the
sense of good fellowship which
should be the moving spirit of the en-
tire affair. Most hostesses do not
recognize this obligation. That this
one in Washington feels she owes her
guests something more than a card of
invitation. a dance program and a
menu card shows that she, at least,
has had an awakening. But she
doesn't deserve great praise for it.
Rather, the others who are still in
different need to be aroused.

SMALL BUT TERRIBLE FoEs.

| No, these enemies are not the
| Balkan states, which have hufnb1ed
the far-reaching Ottoman empire.
They are the insect destroyers of prop
erty, health and life.
One of the services rendered by the
American Society. for the Advance
ment of Science, at its recent session
| in Cleveland, has been the striking
demonstration made by high author
| tiles of the waste caused by insects
which prey upon useful products and
those which are dangerous to the bod
lily welfare of human beings and to
life itself. One eminent speaker gave
damage done by insects Injurious to
life and bodily soundness at not less
than sS00,00O.09O annually. Another
noted man of science explained why
the losses caused by insects which
prey upon crops and other property
can not be much less than $357,00O,-
900 a year.
These figures are impressive by
their mere bulk. They carry weight
at a glance. The most carelessly op-
tfrnistic nation might well be given
pause by such evidence that insect
enemies are vastly more dangerous
and destructive than wild beasts and
birds ever were in America, or the
savages that once possessed the con-
tinent.
The warfare of the present and the
future upon living organisms harmful
to man is not to be waged with rifles
or cannon. 1t is the destined work
of students who make microscopes
and chemicals their weapons and
fight myriads of elusive foes by going
to the very roots of life in their search
for means of determination or check
ing hosts insignificant in their units
but formidable in their numbers and
their fecundity. 49, n

THE SCIENCE OF DREAMS.

| Almost all scientific observers agree
that the materials of which dreams are
made are memories of past experiences
| of the Individual, writes Professor Will
| lam Brown, NJ. A, in the February
/ Strand. Curiously enough, the memories
that occur most frequently are those
of the previous day and those of early
childhood. The former class are to be
found in every dream, and are probably
an essential condition to it's formation;
| the latter (recollections of childhood)
seem to be of even greater Importance,
since they contribute much of the hid
den meaning of the dream. In many
cases where the incidents of a dream
seem to be entirely unfamiliar it has
been shown by careful investigation
that they correspond to actually ex-
perienced events that have escaped the
memory OF the waking self. Delboeuf
records an interesting example of this.
In 1862 he dreamt that he found two
lizards in the snow. He took them up,
warmed them, and placed them in
hole in a wall, together with a small
fern. which he knew they liked to eat.
The name of this fern seemed in his
dream to be Asplenium ruta muralis.
Later on In MS cream ne saw Two OIHer
lizards come and eat the remains of
the fern, and then a whole host of
lizards coming to the wall in a long
procession which covered the entire
street. On awaking he could not re-
member ever to have heard the name of
the fern of his dream. although he dis
covered that a fern called Asplenium
ruta muraria really existed Sixteen
years later, however, he happened to
be turning over the pages of friends
album of dried flowers, and to his sur
prise came across the very fern, with
the Latin name written underneath in
his own handwriting. He then remem-
bered that in 1860, two years before the
dream, he had met the sister of this
friend, and to please her had written
the Latin names under the various
plants in her album at the dictation Of
a botanist Fifteen years after the
dream he also discovered the source
of the lizard procession in an old illus
trated paper, dated 1861, which as a.
regular subscriber he must have seen.
Innumerable cases of a similar nature
are on record, and go to show how re-
narkably heightened the memory may
be in Dreams They also warn us not
too rashly to believe that incidents in
a. dream which seem entirely new are
realIV so

.1NrRoDUCTIoN SQUADS"

Washington papers are saying
much of the innovation made by one
of that city's society leaders who or
ganized an introduction squad" at
her latest dance. This was headed by
Robert Taft and his sister, and they
had a corps of young men and young
women assistants, bright, breezy,
busting people, who went about in
Producing the unacquainted and stir
ring up the shy. In this way it came
to pass that there were few, if any,
''wallf1owers."
And for this the hostess is praised
to the skies; merely for being kind
hearted, Jealous in the interests of her
guests anxious that there should be
no heartburnings, or envies, no pill
lows wet with feminine tears because

sleepless and unhappy nights
The praise is an Indictment of So
ciety which, unfortunately, is too true.
There is nothing finer than true
spirit of hospitality. Like Portia' s
brand of mercy, it blesses those who
give and those who receive But this
kind must be personal and genuine.
It must come from a mutual desire to
be pleased.
Modern entertaining, grown big
and mechanical by the mere force of
circumstances, cannot be that. 1t be-
comes either a spectacular means of
display. a recognized permission of
the well-bred to show themselves

word, or it has a cold business side
