$40 Noble Thlngs-Not Dream Them
To each man by an illusion OF in,
terror optics his own real life appears
to be not what we see him doing but
what he feels himself feeling-his own
invisible sensations, emotions. aspira'
tions and satisfactions. He Is to him
self the center Of a weblike universe
and every least nerve message that
comes to him is, by necessity of his
souls unity, equally interesting and
exciting to him. But this subjective
ness is not life; 1t is existence. Life is
conduct; it is growth and betterment;
it is what follows the emotion and de-
sire; it is effort and achievement OF
failure. Unless we do the things, we
cannot get beyond to seek further
things. AS far back as man began he
has thought and felt delicately. The
Mid-Victorians set out to do delicately
It is this doing the things that makes
us grow up.-Annie Winsor Allen, In
the Atlantic.

POPE EXPRESSES HIMSELF.

Under the direction of the Interna-
ttional Catholic League Against Alco-
holism, 200 leading Catholics, repre-
senting various total abstinence So
4cieties throughout the world, recently
journeyed to Rome to ask the bless

through Cardinal Merry Del Val, or
his approval and sympathy. How
useful it is" he said, ito show the
1scourge of alcoholism in its economic,
moral and physical effects, putting it
lin correlation with the decay of lndi-
'viduals, whose health, intelligence,
conscience and liberty it ruins; with
the ruin of families, in whose bosom
lit engenders confusion and disorder;
with the ruin of society, whose great
,est interests it renaces! And among
social endeavors there are none more
urgent" He especially expressed the
-desire that "the clergy everywhere
take part in this work Of education
,and Of social preservation, by teach
hng and by example. in the very heart
!of the strife against an evil which
-sows so much opprobrium among the
faithful, especially In certain coun-
tries"

iBETTER BUSINESS.

Regarding the manner in which
Temperance affects the money prob
lem, two men doing business in a
dry town are quoted by the Ottumwa
Qa.) Courier. One, banker, assert
ed that deposits showed steady in
crease which could be attributed only
to the closing of saloons. He said
also that merchants were finding it
much easier to collect bills under a
dry regime The other, a manufac-
turer, states that the checks with
which the shops employees were paid
now came back indorsed by grocers,
butchers, clothing stores and other
dealers in life's necessities. instead of
by saloonkeepers. Experience had
taught him, he said, that men spent
much or most of their money where
they cashed their checks.

Equals a Pound of Beef.

Those who wish to substitute other
foods for meat often desire to know
how much of the substitute Is neces-
sary to replace a given amount of
meat If only the proteins of the meat
are considered the following will give
general idea: Two and one-half
quarts milk, one and one-fourths pound
fresh lean fish, three-fourths pound
dried fish, two-thirds pound ordinary
cheese, somewhat less than pound
of mixed nut meats, nine eggs, one-half
pound shelled peanuts, or two-thirds

to a pound Of beef Of average com.

"Not North the Candle"

The well-known saying, ''the game Is
not worth the CANDLE" means that it
is not worth even the candle that
lights the players during their game.
It is used with reference to an under,
taking to signify that the results
would not be sufficient to justify the
trouble or expense incurred. The
French have the same saying-"le jeu
ne vaut pas la chandelle.' In the "Ja'
cula Prudentum; or Outlandish Prov
erbs, Sentences, etc." of George Her.
bert, an English writer of the seven
teenth century, occurs the proverb:
1T is a poor sport that is not worth
the candle" The saying is onG of
those old ones, the origin Of which it
is difficult, if not impossible, to trace.

The ShoMstone.

The so-called "showstone" In the
British museum belonged originally to
one Doctor Dee, celebrated astrolo-
ger and alchemist Of Queen Elizabeth 8
time. The doctor declared that one
day in November, 1882. the angel Uriel
appeared to him and gave him the
stone, which had the quality when
steadfastly gazed into, of presenting
visions and giving messages. The doc
tors assistant, one Edward Kelly.
while paying attention to the stone,
received the command that he and the
doctor should exchange wives, which
message was forthwith obeyed, with
much ornate ceremonial.

No Room for His Money.

One morning father missed some
money out of his clothes and thought
mother had frisked him during the
night. So, while mother was busy in
another room, father went through her
handbag in search Of his coin. He
found a receipted milk bill, an unpaid
ice bill, q big hunk of prepared chalk,
a powder puff, two coupons six months
old, representing the last time he had
taken her to theater; button hook,
six samples of dress goods, clipping
containing Gene Fields Little Boy

a Woman's Way.

An extremely pretty girl stood in
the middle of Lovers lane. At either
end of this celebrated thoroughfare
was lover. Each had his back turned,
but from where she stood each looked
equally handsome. If she had been a
man she would have tossed up coin
to see which lover she should call. But
women are not by nature gamblers.
They are generally too sure OF them
selves. Then she did the perfectly
natural thing-what any woman would
do. She called to one lover, knowing
the other would hear her. And the
one she didn't call was the one she
wented.-Life.

How Carlsbad Got Name.

An American who says he has

estimated that Carlsbad is now enter

faith to be placed in the old chronic

the pack of this famous huntsman,
which, while in hot pursuit Of stag.
fell into the boiling caldron and had
to be flshed out more dead than alive.

ARMY cANTEEN IN GERMANY.

Word comes that commanders Of
-four German army corps have issued
instructions doing away with orders
requiring soldiers to drink beer on
holidays. Heretofore the soldiers have
received checks on holidays good for
beer. In future the checks will be
good for coffee and soft drinks. The
commander at Strasburg, General
Won Der Imling, has ordered that the
price of non-alcoholic drinks at can
teens shall not exceed the price of
beer. At maneuvers neither wine nor
beer are to be dispensed at outpost
fbivouacs. This doubtless is the begin
ming of the end of the army canteen

To Hear Yourself as Others Hear You

To Hear Yourself as Others Hear You.
An English voice specialist has in
vented a machine which enables a
singer to hear his own voice, just as it
sounds to his audience. The demand
for such contrivance has been so
great that countless adaptations of the
phonograph and Of the telephone have
been tried out in the endeavor to
obtain a correct reproduction of the
voice of speaker or singer, so that he
can criticize his own delivery, and
modify his tone to obtain the best re-
suits. All these devices lacked in
some essential feature, but the new
machine called the "critophone," is
claimed by the inventor to overcome
objections urged against other models.

IA LIQUOR EXHIBIT.

"a LIQUOR EXHIBIT.
Neither the liquor industry nor it's
partner, the government, nor the peo-
pie, who by their votes support and
protect the traffic, ever ask for space
lin which to exploit its products at
state or national or international ex-
positions. The saloon has no window
fdisplay Of its workmanship and no
inspection of its processes is invited.
ION the contrary, wherever permitted,
bit puts up screens in an endeavor to
hide its work and the manner OF 1t
hrom the public eye.
Apropos of this point is the follow
ling story told of the noted reformer,
John B. Cough:
AS Mr.. Cough hastened along the
street of a great English city he
found a drunken man lying on the
Sidewalk outside a saloon door. Go
ing across the street he obtained a
piece of paper and with colored pen
ell wrote on it the words, "SPECl-
MEN of the work done inside. He
then pinned the paper to the drunken
mans coat and stood aside to watch
the effect produced on the passersby,
The attention of the saloon keeper
was attracted by the crowd, which
isoor gathered, and when he observed
the cause of the interest, he angrlly
asked: Who did it," which," asked
Mr.. Cough. IF you mean what is
ION the paper, 1 did that. If you mean
the man, you did that. This morning
when he started for his work, he was
"a sober man; when he went into your
saloon, he was a sober man; when
he came out he was like that, and he
lis what you made him. If he is not

what is he?"
