LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
Affections and Complaints About
Which So Many Worry Really Done
Amount to So Much.

We are full of Affections and COM
plants. Our salary is too low, our
rent too high. Somebody of less merit
gets a better job. Our children are
~diso5edient and extravagant. The
street cars are slow and crowded. The
wheat crop has failed. Cholera gets
the hogs.
Every o and then. however, we
get the real measure Of these tribula-
tons. This neighbor is not worrying
much about salary or rent. because the
doctors have told him he must soon
die. That n%eighbor finds no fault in
his child. because it lies dead. The
poor ventilation of our house seems
quite tolerable in contrast with that
other house where snow beats through
the cracks and there is neither fuel
nor food.
Before such comparisons we are
dumb and c"ontented for a day or a
week. So in our national life; how
manifold and poignant are the causes
of complaint-until we look across at
those places in Europe where death,
wounds and beggary are the common
lot!
Then-well, we shall complain as
often and as bitterly as ever; but we
shall whistle Hail Columbia!" under
our breath while doing it.-Saturday
Evening Post.

MORAL TRAINING THE BEST
Surgery Alleged to Be
a Failure.

Few sensible persons will be sur
prised to learn that a recent surgical
operation performed in the hope OF
making a decent mar out of a Grim
inal has resulted in failure, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. 1t is always
possible that the weakness or the dull
ness of a boy or girl may be due to
some durable physical or mental all
ment, but to presume that mere way
wardness can be reformed by use of
the surgeons knife is to presume too
much on the credulity of human ma
ture.
The truth of the matter is that
these stray lambs need moral training
in their youth and their failure to get
it is a handicap that is only too apt to
remain with them through life. Moth
ing is more discouraging than the yell
low streak that appears in some per
son and nothing seems more difficult
to eradicate. Their cases should have
the attention of the experts, but we
feel sure that they stand in need of
the punishment that fits the crime
rather than sentimental experiments
on the part of philanthropists who
mean well, but who only encourage
crime by their foolish liberation Of
wrongdoing.

the eyes of beauty; painting sad
ness on the face of JOY; breaking
the hearts Of millions of pure
good mothers and wives, laugh
ing at distress; sneering at vir-
tues smiling in scorn at the rags
Of the drunken beggar; trampling
morality and holy purity of wo-
manhood under foot; scoffing at
religion and cursing God.
And now the senate of Ala
bama, fresh from the people and
asking in union with the noble
representatives in the house.
likewise fresh from the people
asking in fear of God and having
in the confidence and in the name
of the people, pronounce you
guilty of these and innumerable
other wrongs, and we hereby
Danish you from the bounds of
he fair state of Alabama, never
again to return with your dark

among whom you may be per-
mitted to remain"

Finding Noise That Least Annoys.

The question of different kinds of
noises from a practical point of view,
and with special reference to alto
mobile horns, was considered by Pro
fessor Marage at a recent meeting of
the Academic des Sciences. He inves-
tigated the subject by executing pieces
of music upon ancient and modern in
struments, before a number of persons
chosen from all professions.
The general result was that high
pitched sounds produced a more disa-
greeable impression than those of low
pitch, and since it appears that the
grave sounds are more agreeable to
the ear he recommends that such
sounds be used for signals as much as
possible.
In fact, the use of the siren has been
prohibited in many European towns.
He thinks that automobiles should
have two kinds of signals, one a
grave sound for city use which does
not annoy the passers, and a loud
and shrill sound for use in the coun-
try, which sound will carry to a long
distance.

intelligence of the Beaver.

The life history of the beaver dis
closes a succession of episodes in
each of which a reasoning faculty is
employed. Unlike other animals, the
beavers intelligence consists not only
in doing the same things over and
over again, but in the ability to deal
Understandings with novel situations.
Certain of it's actions probably arise
from the same instinct that governs
the rest of the lower animals, but the
orderly sequence in which they are
performed leads many to believe that
the beaver shares with man q claim to
reasoning faculties.

Educating.

The stored mind is strong, mentality
grows, like the body, by being fed.
knowledge is a tested route to wis
dom, but meditation is a surer. What
digestion is to food, meditation is to
knowledge. The end of all education
is to teach a person to think clearly,
strongly and practically.
