Relax Resolutely.

Be alone some time each day and suffer motion to yield to meditation. Learn to speak seldom and slowly. When you read books omit the sen Sational novel of the present day and relax with Emerson, Carlyle. Whit man, TEoreau, Confucius, EpictetGs, Marcus AureliuS. And prefer oid-fash- toned music to the ragtime of the modern cabaret. The chant of the cathedral organ is a clear invitation to repose. Take long walks when time is abundant Make friends with night :; commune with the stars, let them soothe away your cares.
 Develop your will and dominate your wishes. Think great thoughts and sweep away trilcs. Plan q daily schedule with the right baths, foods and exercises to keep your nerves ready. strong. Leave the nerve tonic" sold iE bottle strictly alone, as it merely tones up the pocket nerve of the maker. Test the regeneratiug power of slow, calm, deep rhythmic breathing as a life habit. Experience the wonderful results on the nervous system of the air. light, sun and earth baths. now so popular in Europe.-E. F.. Purintoa, in the New York Inde- pendent.

Peacock Royal Feast.

Peacock was very costly and fa- vorite dish with royalty in days gone by. Whether the birds were reared on the royal premises or bought from he local peacockmonger is not. recorded. hut the fact remains they figured in the menu.
 The bird was skinned bodily, leaving the feathers and head intact. II was then stuffed and roasted luscious brown. and the skin and head. with the comb nicely gilded were replaced. aud the dish sent ia to table. Of course, it had to be ''undressed" before carving.
 When knights met to have final carouse before departing on some new quest or endeavor, it was always pea cock lon" for the game item If there was special fair dame they wanted to gull into believing that if WIS for her sweet sake they were ou, for fresh adventures. Il was oNci' inc ho ,. ot inc peacock that any smea1s eH her behalf were sworn.

SIMPLY WOULDN'T SCRUB OUT
As It Happened, There Was a Reason Why Dark Spot Was lmpersious
 to Soap and Water.

It is just as well there has been no particular outery against eXtrayaganee in the use of scrilbblng brushes. else one good lady would have caught it. : She was swilIing the flags whilst two of tlie ueisnDors slood near keeping up con :, sation. This was so in- teresting tl'e neither of them noticed anything particular when the lady of the broom. after using 1t pretty free ly in a particular place. put il on one side and fetched a serubhing brush and soap. Down she went on her knees, ard gave the refractory pave ment good scrub and swilI.
 Well" she exclaimed. "l can't tell what's t4e matter with this flag. I've broomed if and scrubbed it. and there's a dark patch still that I can't get off. Just have look
 Thus addressed. her neighbor bent nearer, but the dark patch moved also. II was the shadow of her head that the industrious lady had been trying to wash away.-London Tit-Bits.

The Man With 4 Big income.

The most obvious result of the war munition and supply business is the great increase in wealth of comparatively small number of people. The income tax returns show that the number of incomes between $5o,OO0 and $500, 900 have doubled during the past year. The receipts from incomes of $20,- GOO to S5o.Ooo have increased 50 per cent.
 New evidences of luxury are to be seen on every hand. All over the country great lavish hotels are filled to overflowing The food and lodging may not be much su- parior. but the stamp of style is found everywhere from the sky paflor to the bootblack. The most expensive motor cars are selling more freely than ever before. Millions of money are being made and a new race of multi-million- aires infest the land.
 What are these newly rich neo- pie going to do with their money? They will build palaces oy the sea and in the mountains, heWng roads out of rock and creating great monuments to their superf1uity. It will all employ a great deal of labor at excellent figures, and make 1t difficult for ordinary people to get work done. But all the money will find it's way eventually into the hands of the common peo- pie.
 The new rich man does not usu- ally spend his money wisely. Hav~ ing suffered from limited means all his life, he rebounds to extremes of foolish lavishness. where the man who inherits wealth would use t with less display. The sight ot

of Arkansas push a second prof1ta- be farming campaign because we realize that even with the high price of cotton if the farmers of the state do not feed themselves and have to pay a proportionate high price for the food and feed they use on their farms they are not really getting anywhere. says W. c. Lassetter. acting director of the Extension Division. Raise all the cotton you can but feed yourself and save your cotton money. is the advice given to the farmers by the men behind this movement. EV- cry farmer who makes his living al nome and is independent of these high prices and uses his eottor money to buy better machinery. cattle and home conf rts will SCOT find himself independent; however if he has to spend nearly every thing he makes to buy food and fled and to produae the cotton crop every year ke will not save much, regardless of whether cot ton is worth 10 cents or 20 cents. Fifty years of experience has prov en to a number Of farmers and bus= mess men of Arkansas that simply swapping dollars with the farmers from the North does not get us anywhere. It is true that we are handling more money than ever before but that does not mean that we are going to save more if we buy our own food and feed at the present high prices. There is q wave of prosperity in the state right now because some farmers have more money than they ever had. but many do not realize 1t Is going to cost a great deal more than ever to carry them until the next cotton crop is made: conse- quently, they are spending much of the money which they ought to save for that purpose. A great many of our farmers will be asking for credit again very soon. When pork can be produced for 5 cents a pound, why should the farmers of Arkansas pay the packers 90 certs to 35 cents for the same meat when it is dressed and cured? Why should our people be paying $5.5O per 100 pounds for flour when we can raise enough wheat on every farm to supply the family need? Let us raise our own feed and food, save our cotton money and spend our surplus in making better homes and educating the children.

Suicide Oddities.

An insurance publication called the Spectator has been gathering suicide statistics of the leading cities of the United States. The figures offer plenty of provooation for thought
 From general summary, we learn the surprising fact that the most people kill themselves in the merry month Of June and the few est in the cold and gloomy month of January. Also that there are far more suicides in the new, fresh. hopeful West than in the effete anc presumably despairing East. The most suicidal state in the Union you'd never su5Fe5t it-i8 Gaifor- nia, that paradise where the sun always shines, and every man is suppose5 to have a chance.
 The bad showing of California in this particular is almost incredible. San Francisco, Sacramento and San Diego have the highest suicide rates of the 100 cities investi- gated. h San Diego 65.3 people Kill themselves in a year per I00,- 900 population. In contrast, we have such rates as 9.2 for Tren- ton. N j., 5.4 for Auburn, N. r., 4 for Augusta, Ga. and g. for Holy oke, Mass h the eastern and southern states generally the sui eide rate is almost exactly half that of the Pacific coast states.
 Here are other curious facts: Three times as many men kin themselves as women. Most male suicide occur in the life-decade from AS to 55, most female suicide in the decade from 25 to 35. More people kill themselves in pleasure resorts than elsewhere.
 Sometime a philosopher may arise to explain all these seeming contradictions. To the ordinary mortal they're inexplicable.

Toko, Jan. 6.-The Prince born on the night of Dec 2 to Empress Sa- dako, making the fourth son of Elm. peror Yoshihito, has been named Suminoniya Takahito. The event of the birth, on the day of the great coronation military review which is held only once, in the lifetime of an emperor, has been interpreted by the Japanese people as an omen bespeak- ing the lasting perpetuity and pros perity of the imperial family The Announcement that. both the Em- press and the infant are, doing well has also been welcome news to the people in view of the fact that ru- mors concerning the health of the Empress had recently been circulated widely.
 The Japanese people for ages have believed in signs as indicating the trend of the future and the glorious view which could be had of the sacred Mt Fuji during the coronation review as well as the daylight vision of the crescent moon, which was followed at dusk by the news of the birth of an imperial prince, created a most fla vorab1e impression among the older people that the destiny of the i'm periaI house and of the nation will be a, glorious one. It was recalled that the. Emperor's third son, Prince No buhito Takamatsu-no-nni was born onf the day the supposedly invincible Russian fortress at Port. Arthur ca pituIated to the Japanese army, Jan- 3, 1905.
 On the day of the birth of the new prince, While the Emperor was re- viewing his troops on the grounds just opposite tI1e T Aoyaula palace where the Empress was confined, she was able to see the fleet of aeropIanes and airships ranoeuvering over the parade ground, and,5 accompanied by her court ladies, she was sesn to wave flags in saIutafion to this newest arm of Japanese defence.
 Fulfilling hereditary custom, the Emperor has presented sword to the infant prince. This is a token of protection from all manner of evil things. and is a survival of the for mer widespread custom of presenting every Japanese boy baby with a sword

R,,namita

Dynamite if carefully made and kept will not explode except by shock or a blow; hence a cap or detonator is af- fixed to a charge just before firing to set it off. Seq fire in open air dyna- mite burns fercely with a smoky flame, but does not explode unless several sticks are closely piled together or packed in a box. The most common cause of premature explosion of dyna-
 mite is separation of its nitroglycerin, slight friction or shock causing this to explode and, in turn, explode the dy- namite. Separation of nitroGlycerin usually occurs when frozen dynamite is being thaWed out; hence so many cases of explosion by careless or igno- rant persons who use perfectly good stove in cours8 of instruction in how to handle dyn; NlEte.

Anaora Rabbits.


 The long haired Angora rabbit is a native of Asia Minor. Its name is de- rived from the province of Apgora. where almost all the animals of what ever species have long fine silky hair. Over a hundred years ago Sthe beauty of the Angora rabbit attracted atten- tion, and it was introduced to Europe. The peasants of Switzerland, Savoy and Flanders have long bred the ami nal, and in those countries Angora rabbits are a source of considerable profit Soft furry ''Angora" caps and mfttens and other articles of clothing are knit from yarn spun from the hair of the Angora rabbit. The hair is not sheared periodically, like the fleece of sheep, but is combed off every few months. In the course of year some three-quarters of pound of hair is obtained from single animal.

eraashonper Glacier.

Grasshopper glacier, at the headwa- ters of the East and West Rosebud riv- CTS in the Beartooth mountains of Montana, derived it's name from the myriads of grasshoppers imbedded fn the perpetual ice of that neighborhood Many of the specimens are as perfect as if preserved in alcohol for exhibi- ton. In the opinion of scientists who made a first hand study of the glacier the insects were caught in a periodic southward flight and succumbed to the cold in their attempt to cross the noun tain range. The huge ice mass. under whose crust the gfasshoppers are bur fed, is virtually under the shadow of Granite peak, 12.S42 feet high, ,sthe high est in Montana Only recently has its existence as a perpetual glacier been verified, though as long as forty years ago 1t was additionally known in early Montana mining camps and mountain towns. It was considered then merely a fancifu1 tale of pioneer prospectors and fur trappers who had penetrated to the upper reaches of this branch of the rugged Rockies.

 Within few days a, religious cere- Tnony will be held in the presence of the infant prince. Specially ap-- pointed court scholars will read se- IectedE passages from the books of an cient sages, Gonfucius and others, and the court musicians will play sacred airs on harps and flutes to calm and purify the spirit of the child. The underlying idea is that the infant by hearing the sacred music is inspired to a sense of virtue and high moral ity. It is also believed that if the player is not a man of virtue the sound of the stringed instrument will not be harmonious. The child being named, the, birth and name will be formally reported to the spirit of Amaterasu Omokami, the Sun God dess, who is traditiona1ly regarded as the ancestral founder of the imperial Japanese house. Also a eommuni- cation is made before the sanctuary of the imperial predecessors in the Tokio palace. On the same day the infant prince will be given a, hot bath of water taken from the sacred well in compound of the imperial palace.
 On the 5Oth day after his birth the infant prince will be taken to the inn eperia1 palace for his first audience with the Emperor and Empress
