"Ships Of Fate"

As nuts are plentiful at this time of
the year, the following game can easily
be played:
Prepare as many half shells Of wal
nuts as there are guests. In each fas-
ten a small candle with a drop Of wax.
Fill tub with water. and before
sailing the boats the water should be
agitated. so as to have it wavy. Two
at a time may sail their boats. light
ing their candles as they do so. The
life Of the owner is prophesied by the
seaworthy qualities Of his ship.
II the storm overcomes the ship the
owner will be wrecked by adversely.
The ship sailing across the tub signi-
fies long sea voyage. while those re-
naming by the side show that the per-
son loves home better.
If the two ships stay together
throughout the trip the couple owning
them will have a happy marriage. If
they bump together that signifies a
quarrel. and If they sail in opposite
directions each person will lead sin
gle life.

The city water system collected
from the consumers last year $751;
293.S5, and the cost of maintaining
the system was $25,912.SS, showing
profit of $35,3SO.97. If this city
was supplied by private corpora
ton, application to the Public Ser
vice Commission would result III an
immediate reduction of rates, but no
reduction seems to be the thought
of the city dads. A minimum rate Of
$1.00 for dwellings, including bath.
toilet and laundry would still leave
substantial margin of profit for the
city. Ask your councilman why
reduction is not made.

The Comparative Cost

Objection is raised to the adoption
of the commission form of city govern
ment on account of the salaries paid
the commissioners, yet it can be shown
conclusively that this modern plan
may be operated more economically
than the present system in the matter
of salaries for the administration.
The present annual salary list is as
follows.

THE EYE AND THE EAR.

You were born with an empty brain
Nature did not give you intelligence
and refused to contribute even the
self-preservative instinct of the ami
NAL. All that you know today, and
all that you can ever receive, enter
your head either through the eye OF
the ear. Each voluntary or involun
tary glance of the eye, and each sound
which enters your ear, is registered
in or on a brain cell, there to remain
forever, even though you may forget
the occurrence.
You cannot help seeing, and you can
not help hearing. Much of what you
see and what you hear may be of lit
tie or no consequence to you, and it
would seem a waste of brain material
to record these sensations; but, as
you cannot avoid this recording, it
behooves you to determine, as far as
is within your power, what you shall
see and what you shall hear.
You must see and you must hear
anyway. Will you attempt to regulate
the eye and the ear, or will you al
low them to run amuck?
Thousands, yes, millions, Of men
see and yet see not; and as many
hear and yet hear not. They lie dor
mant, and allow impressions to come
to them and to occupy the cells of
their brains, without using discrimina-
tion in the receiving and without at
tempting to utilize the result.
One man walks along the city or
the village street. His eyes and his
ears are receiving innumerable i'm
pressions, which he does not attempt
to regulate, and which he allows to
play havoc with his brain. Another
man, while he cannot avoid that which
is before him and around him, dis
eliminates, focuses his eyes and turns
his ears toward the sights and sounds
which will add to his stock Of in
formation.
It is as easy to see and hear intelli-
gently as it is to accept involuntarily
impressions and sensations.
It is impossible for the bright and
intelligent man to look out of the
window, to walk along the street, to
occupy chair at his desk, to mingle
with his fellow men, without obtain
ing something worth while to him, to
his work, and to the world at large.
1t is not enough to receive, for mere
receipts may have no commercial or
other value. It is what you do with
what you receive that counts in every
market.
What you need is everywhere, in
doors, outdoors, in the street, in the
fields and woods. Will you merely
allow it to pass inside Of you, either
through your eye or through your ear,
unconsidered, or will you so regulate
your brain that it will separate the
wheat from the chaff and place it in
a position which will benefit you and
your community?
VIII you be a receiver, a mere re-
tainer, or will you be mill ever ready
to grind the grist that is constantly
coming to you?
You are master of it all. It is for
you to say whether what you receive
is to be beneficial or worthless. Re-
ceiVe you must. What are you going
to do with what you receive?
