A Splendid Chance.

Turkey raising is an arduous bust
ness" said wholesale poultry dealer
Of Baltimore DAY and night you
must look after your birds the same
as you look after horses.
California turkeys are very fine
They are very well taken care Of. 1t
is no snap to work on a California
turkey farm, tell you.
81 was visiting a California turkey
farm last month when boy applied
for job.
"'Your references are good. I'll try
you,' said the farmer.
"'Will l have chance to rise, sir?
the boy asked.
"'Yes, said the farmer, "a grand
chance. I'll want you to have the feed
mixed by four o'clock every morn

PASSING OF EARTH
Speculation as to Possible End
of the World.
Scientists See Danger In the Accumu-
Iation of Ammonia in the Atmos-
phere-What It Might Mean
to Humanity.

There are various ways in which, as
1t seems, our earth can come to an
end as a planet. We will mention one
or two of them. The continuous decay
of vegetation generates ammonia. AS
many scientists have said, there is
more ammonia in the atmosphere now
than there was ten thousand years
ago, and considerable more than there
was million years ago. Fresh sup
plies are added year after year, so
that in a future day there will be an
exceedingly great quantity Of it.
Now, ammonia has combustive
property. II the atmosphere should
get laden with it, universal confia-
grafton would be inevitable. The out
break of a volcano, or flash Of light
ming, would be sufficient to cause the
circumambient air to ignite-all space
would become mass of raging flame
which would boil the rivers and seas,
converting them into hot vapors,
which would devour all living crea-
lures, all forms of vegetable life, would
bake the earth and perhaps burn it to
cinders.
The earth could be converted into
smoke within a second; 1t could be
hurled out of its course and made to
come into dreadful collision with an
other planet; or, thrown dangerously
near the sun, it would be drawn by the
wonderful solar attraction into the
fiery bosom Of that bright monarch of
the universe.
The horror of such catastrophe ap-
pears unspeakably great-something
from which the startled imagination
recoils and staggers. And yet, after
due reflection, we must admit that
the prospect is sublime rather than
horrible. Anticipation Of an intoler
able pain is worse than the pain itself
A human being is capable of pain up tc
certain degree only, as also of pleas
ure up to a correspondingly high de
gree, and no more. Nay, one person
is capable of more suffering and more
enjoyment than another; and it is alto
gether a fallacious notion that there Is
as much agony when fly Is crushed
"as when a giant dies"
How often, after long and disma
anticipation of tragic event, we have
found at the last that the anticipation
of a tragic event outran the reality
This is caused, not only by the quick
ness and resourcefulness Of mind, blu
also by the circumstance that we can
not bear more than certain measur
of pain and affliction.
Then, too, it must be remembers
that as every extreme causes its oppc
site, as a white heat gives sensa
! ton of cold, as frost can burn like fire
as laughter can end in tears and tear
in laughter, as wisdom sometimes sub
sides into folly and the jester will ut
ter the sayings of a sage, so excess o
pain may end in sort of thrilling
pleasure, and this may account for tn
sudden ecstasies Of martyrs under tor
ture.
The passing of earth, then, woul'
not cause so much human pain as i
generally believed. It would probabl.
be nothing more than the suddei
awakening into new world from al
outgrown condition Of being.-ES

Here's a Tanule.

How easy it is to mix up the aver
age business man was demonstrated
the other day when the son Of local
merchant leaned against his fathers
knee and innocently asked:
Daddy, is today tomorrow"
''No, my son, of course today isn't
tomorrow" answered the father.
But you said it was," continued the
son.
when did I ever say today was to-
morrow"
Yesterday" answered the son.
We'll, it was; today was tomorrow
yesterday, but today is today, just as
yesterday was today yesterday but is
yesterday today, and tomorrow will be
today tomorrow, which makes today
yesterday and tomorrow all at once
Now run along and play" and the faith
er collapsed into his chair with a sigh
of relief.-Louisville Times.
