All Lessons Of Life.

The worst kind of trouble and sol
row should only teach us the lesson
Of a wider sympathy and love. W.
should never allow ourselves to be-
come immersed in our own griefs, for
that only intensifies them. Let us
shut them out of our minds as much
rs possible.
By letting no day pass without do
Ing some kindness to others who are
perhaps far worse off than we are
the trouble, which seemed SO gigantic
at first, will gradually sink to Lillipu'
tian dimensions. BY thinking sunny
thoughts and shutting out the intrud'
ing dark ones we can rob grief Of all
it's sting. By admitting only the
thoughts Of love and peace we help
ourselves and many others.

HABIT FORMING U


The evils of drunkenness are known
to all, but the ravages of the habit
forming drugs, more terrible than al
coholism in their effects, are not prop
erly appreciated by the public. These
drugs rapidly undermine the constitu-
ton, break down the moral character
and make complete wrecks of those
who are unable to escape from their
clutches. In nearly every city there
Is a systematic and secret traffic in
such drugs. They are even smuggled
into prisons. Needless to say there
is tremendous profit in 1t to those who
are engaged in the business. The hab-
it is increasing alarmingly in the dry
states of the south. DR.. Lucius p.
Brown, state Pure Food and Drugs In
spector of Tennessee, Is authority for
the statement that there are 22,50O
persons in Tennessee suffering from
the drug habit and that $4,000 is
spent yearly in that state by habit
ual drug users.
The general public does not realize
what is going on. A man can't drink
whisky without it's being known, but
the user of drugs can slip of by him.

A Swedish count has an autograph
album in which three statesmen have
written a sentence of their respec.
tive PHILOSOPHERS. The eighty-year-
old French minister, Guizot, wrote:
During my long life l have learned
two wise rules; the one is, to forgive
much, the other, to forget nothing"
Underneath these words the French
statesman Theirs wrote: II have
found that a little forgetting does not
detract from the sincerity of the for.

On the same page there was space
enough for an autograph of the Ger.
man chancellor, Bismarck, who said:
During my life I have learnt the
need of forgetting much and having
much forgiven me-"

Three True steeIs.

Iron and carbon steel, vanadium
steel, and tungsten steel, are pointed
out by Prof. T. O. Arnold, British
metallurgist, as the three true steels.
The second kind is iron and carbon
steel with five per cent Of %vanadium,
the iron carbide having ceased to ex
list, and vanadium carbide being pres.
ent, and the third kind is iron and
carbon steel having lis per cen OF
tungsten, the iron carbide having been
expelled by the tungsten. Iron and
carbon steel hardens at 100 degrees

degrees. its melting point, and tung.

There is nothing more pathetic than
the sight Of some unfortunate woman,

Is there no way Of bringing show

Never put Off until tomorrow what

Never trouble another for what you

Never spend your money before you

Never buy what you don't want be-

Pride costs more than hunger,

We seldom repent Of having eaten
too little.
Nothing is troublesome that we do
willingly.
How much pain the evils have cost

RISH EXPORTS ARE IN- CREASED BY WAR

Irish exports have increas- ed considerably on account of the war. The official returns just completed for the year 1914 show a total of v, ,3OO,- 100 pounds, an increase of :hree and a half million pounds over 1913. The in- crease is due almost entirely
 o the shipbuilding at Bel
 'aSt.
 It is a curious feature of he report that although 54 per cent of the Irish exports are represented by farm pro-
 luce and foodstuffs, 37 per cent of Ireland's 73,OOO,OOO pounds of import should be 'ood, and the department of agriculture comments point edly on the fact that a food producing country should be annually importing great quantities of farm produce, much of which is admirably suited for raising at home.
 On the whole the report is 'egarded as gratifying rec ord of continued progress in Ireland. In addition to the increase in exports, the dec ade has also witnessed an in- crease of imports by 35 per cent in value and twelve per cent in bulk. The total i'm ports and exports of Ireland, in fact, now represent a high er per capita value than the average for the United King dom, the United States, Ger many or Farnce.

PRICE OF SILVER AID ID STATES PROSPERITY

The only drawback to the unexam pied prosperity of Arizona has been removed and the forward speed of the development of the state during the next few months will be as never before in its history, says a report of the Arizona State Bureau of Mines. The low price of silver no longer hangs over the market affording an excuse for the delay in the restoration of the high state of prosperity.
 Silver occurs with so many ores in the State of Arizona that the increased price of silver makes a decided in- crease in the production at many of the mining camps, and reports are be- ing received that shipments are stim- ulated and further exploration greatly encouraged.

ly and subordinate another. The Tno- tion picture, however, must accept things pretty much as it finds them There is but limited opportunity for special arrangements and poses, and none at all for retouching.
 It is consequently with considerable hesitancy that l attempt any analysis of facial lines or features in conree tion with motion picture requisites Any thing I say must be tentatively and with reservations.
 With this understood, I will venture the opinion that the eyes are the most important of picture actress fea. lures. In drama where the voice is denied one, the eyes are the most nearly audible part of the fact. think that you will find them always the most eloquent. I have often heard it said that dumb animals-Jhe horse or dog, for instance-talk with their eyes, and l certainly found it true with my own pets. The only reason we have not taken this more into con- sideration in respect to peo9le is be- cause they have a tongue auG COL se- quently there is small need to pay at tentiOn to the eyes.
 In way I believe it to3i motion pictures to make Us realize ju5t how much one may express with the eyes. The screen emphasized tic old adage that "the eyes are the lamps of the soul"
 l will not attempt to say whas kind of eyes in shape and size anG color are the most desirable. As q gpnela1 thing directors believe that dark tnes photograph the best. Hazel eyes, too, prove excellent in this respect, as do any others where there is a decided contrast between the iris and the white. Such eyes always seem to be the most decisive and to enunciate the most plainly in screen language" h any event, it is the expressive rather than the merely pretty eye that ric- lures require.

AUSTRALIAN APPLE

MELBOURNE, Australia, May 25.- The Australian apple crop, which is unusually big this year is seriously af- fected because of the dearth of ships for export. In the two chief apple producing states, Tasmania and Vic toria, nearly 5,OOO,OOO cases of apples have been harvested, but not more than million cases can be exported.
 There will be left nearly 4,OOO,00O cases of apples from these states alone and Australia must either eat them or see them go to waste. There be- ing some 4,000,OOO people in the corr monwealth, every man, woman and child in the country will live to eat an apple day regularly for five full months if the whole unexportabl4 har- vest is consumed.

TRACING THE CAUSES
 OF INSANITY

In a paper on "Ill Health
 in Its Bearing on Insanity,
 pr. s. E. Smith, Superinten.
 dent of the Eastern Indiana
 hospital, recently said that 95 per cent of the cases of men tai diseases which directly or indirectly invade the brain and other parts of the gen eral nervous system and dis order the brains functions.
 "The diseases causing in- sanity or mental disease are many" said Dr. Smith, "and ninety per cent of them are preventable. The great causes in the order of their importance and responsibility for this ninety per cent of in- sanity are heredity, veneral disease and alcoholism and other drug habits.
 Drug habits other than alcoholism are responsible for some cases of insanity but they so often go hand in hand with alcoholism that they may be regarded as belonging to the same. group.
 Other diseases, also, cause insanity. Any exhaustive, or acute disease, such as typhoid fever, measles in early child hood, diptheria, tuberculosis. pellegra, cerebral-spinal men, ingitis, may produce a disease of the mind. Fortunately, this group is largely curable. "
 Dr. Philip B. Newcomb, clinical director of the state hospital for the insane at Os- awatomie, Kans., in the first symposium the National Con- ference of Charities and Cor rection has had on the tenn perance question in it's forty three years of history, said that statistics of insanity in Kansas are often distorted by liquor interests and others. No greater amount of general insanity exists in Kansas than in surrounding or distant wet commonwealthS, Dr. New comb said.
 Probably a greater ire quency is shown in Kansas state hospital figures" he said, "of a type of insanity known as degenerative and showing defective heredity primarily as a basis. Yet the state of Kansas has a very low percentage of the pSy- choSeS in which intemper- ance is the prime cauSative factor, viz., delirium tremens, alcoholic hallucinosis, alco- holic deluSional insanity. AL coholiSm and alcoholic insani- ty are greatest in border To- 1 calitieS of the state near wet l territory and where law en- forcement is less stringent.
 While statewide prohibi- ton may not absolutely pro- hibit, especially when non territory is con- tinguouS, yet it does, limit op- oortunity for frequent or con- 'tant indulgence and results which follow"

the month of May totalled PAS, ,O9l
tons, in comparison with 122 1877
tons for the month of May in 1915,
according to figures given out Tues
day: This shows that over twice
the amount of business in ore was
carried on in May this year over
1915.
The figures for the Northwestern

during May have not been given
