THE ART OF FORGETTING.

To forget-that is what we need
just to forget. All the petty annoy
ances, all the vexing irritations, all the
mean words, all the unkind acts, the
deep wrongs, the bitter disappoint-
ments-just let them go, don't hang
on to them. Learn to forget. Make
study of it. Practice it. Become
an expert at forgetting. Train the
faculty of the mind until it is strong
and virile. Then the memory will
have fewer things to remember, and
it will become quick and alert in re-
Numbering. 1t will not be numbered
with disagreeable things, and all it's
attention will be given to the beauti-
full things, to the worthwhile thing.
No matter what scientific problems
you are trying to solve, take up the
study of forgetting. The art of for
getting will give added luster to all
your litrary, business, or scientific at
tainments, and it will add immeasur-
ably to health of mind and body.

KINDNESS.

can look out over the earth at any
hour, and l see in spirit innumerable
Angels threading the crowds of men
and hindering sin by all manner of
articles which shall not interfere with
the freedom of mans will I see also
invisible grace, made visible for the
moment, flowing straight from God in
and upon and around the souls of
men, and sin giving way and yield
ing place to it. But together with
grace and the Angels there is third
band of diminutive figures, with wells
upon their heads which are fitting
everywhere, making gloomy men
cease to groan, lighting up hope in
the eyes of the dying, sweetening the
heart of the bitter, and adroitly turn
ing men away from sin just when they
are on the point of committing it.
They seem to have strange power.
Men listen to them who have been
deaf to the pleading of Angels. They
gain admittance into hearts, before
the doors of which grace has lost its
patience and gone away. No sooner
are the doors open than these
yelled messengers, these cunning min
listers of God, have gone and returned
with lightning-like speed and brought
back grace with them. They are
most versatile in their operations.
One while they are the spies of grace,
another while sappers and miners,
| another while itS light cavalry
another while they bear the brunt of
the battle, and for more than five
thousand years they have hardly
known the meaning of defeat. They
are the acts of kindness which are
daily enrolled in Gods service from
the rising to- the setting of the sun.

HOW THEY LOST THEIR HOME.

Through the gambling instinct.
They let their insurance run out.
They bought things they did not
need because they were cheap.
They did not use good judgment or
right proportion in their expenditures.
They subscribed for everything they
could pay for on the installment plan.
They did not realize how easy it is
to get into debt and how hard it is to
get out.
They tried to do what others ex-
pected of them rather than what they
could afford.
They could not say NO." and could
not tell their friends Il cannot afford
it,"
They drew their money out of the
savings bank to put it into some wild
cat schemes and lost it.
They did not do business in bust
ness way because they were dealing
with relatives or friends.
They signed important papers with
out reading them or knowing their
contents, just because they were asked
to do so.
The extravaganza of children who
had not been trained to economic or
to take care of their pennies swamped
the home.
The mania to make an appearance
beyond their means caused them to
mortgage their property and ended in
bankruptcy.
When the shoe began to pinch, they
"really did not see where they could
retrench." Habit had made luXuries
seem necessaries.
They entertained to extensively
and a great deal more than they could
afford, because they wanted people to
think they were in good circum
stances.
Their efforts to force their daugh
tiers into society of those above them
in the hope that they might make
brilliant matches" involved them
hopelessly in debt.

On Saturday he met a friend; the
cash register recorded $1.35, and he
handed the boy a dime A nickel to
the Lord and dime to the waiter!
He had his shoes polished and handed
the Greek dime without a murmur.
He had shave and paid his check of
10 cents and tipped the barber a
dime. He took box of candies to
his wife, paid, 40 cents for it, and tied
it with dainty ribbon-and gave a
nickel to the Lord

STOCK PRICES SLAUGHTERED.
Wall Street Has One of Most Exciting
Days in History.

New York.-The stock market Fri
day went through the most exciting
day in its history with one exception.
President Wilson's note to the bellig-
erent powers, followed by Secretary
Lansing's first explanatory statement
of its intent, were the occasion of
frenzied selling, which in scope and
volume fairly dwarfed all the opera
tons which followed on the peace pro-
posals from Germany.
Prices were slaughtered to the ex-
tent of 5, 10 and Is points, and in one
case 80, and the days sales amount
ed to 3,176OO0 shares, total without
precedent since the famous Northern
Pacific corner of 1901. The decline
was virtually unchecked, only few
nominal rallies marking the trading
of the final hour
