FOOLISH VANITIES.

Of all vanities, the vanity of birth
is the most foolish if we except the
vanity of wealth. There is a salts
faction, undoubtedly, in being in the
line of descent from honorable men
and women, in bearing a name that
has stood for worth and achievement
in the generations back. But this
satisfaction consists largely in know
ing that we ourselves are starting out
with no handicap, that all the advan-
tages of heredity are on our side.
That any human being can actually
plume himself on the fact that his
grandfather was a general, or his
greatgrandmother poetess, passes
belief. Good blood is big RESPONSE
bility, and should be an incentive to
good work. But whoever presents
himself in public decked in his an
cestor's hard-won glories, cuts as ridic-
ulous figure as the little boy who
appears in his fathers hat and coat.
Pride of wealth is, if anything,
sillier, because merely to be rich is not
to ones credit, nor even if he made
the money himself. Often it is de-
cidedly discreditable. Fortunes made
by sharp practice, by cheating the gov
eminent, by grinding the poor, by TAX
ing advantage of another's necessities,
are disgraceful rather than honorable.
But even where no discredit attaches
to the accumulation of a fortune, it
is seldom anything to be proud of,
and then only as a symbol of the
brain and forethought and industry
that built it up. The man who has
made himself rich by legitimate
means through intelligence and appli.
cation, has right to be little com
placent over his success. But that
his children should think themselves
better than the sons and daughters
of poor neighbor is absolutely ridic.
ulous. To be proud of wealth you
have not earned, is as sensible as to
be vain and conceited over the color
of the sky. You have as much to do
with the one as with the other.
Probably all vanity is foolish, but
the two cases named are particularly
unreasonable. Unless you can find
some better reason for holding your
head high than your great-grand
fathers renown, or your fathers
money, it behooves you to walk
humbly.

HOW DO YOU TACKLE YOUR
WORK?

How do you tackle your work each
day?
Are you scared of the job you find?
Do you grapple the task that comes
your way
With confident, easy mind?
Do you stand right UP to the work
ahead
Or fearfully pause to view it?
Do you start to toll with sense of
dread
Or feel that you're going to do it?
You can do as much as you think
you can,
But you'll never accomplish more;
If you're afraid of yourself, young
man,
There's little for you in store.
For failure comes from the inside first,
It's there if we only knew it,
And you can win, though you face the
worst,
If you feel that you're going to do it.
Success! It's found in the soul of you,
And not in the realm of luck!
The world will furnish the work to do,
But you must provide the pluck.

carefully dust them and the shelf be-
hind them. Commence, of course, with
the top shelf. Note when busting any
indication of mold and take steps to
remove and prevent it.
The best way to do this is to spray
the books and shelves, by means of an
atomizer, with oil of lavender, penny
royal, or any of the other perfumed
essential oils. This will drive away all
suspicion of mold.
Sometimes book shelves become in
tested with moths, or rather silver
witches, as the pests are called. This
is small silvery worm, which is seen
when books and papers that have re-
manned undisturbed for some time are
moved. 1t shuns the light and runs
very rapidly to place of concealment,
so it is not very often seen. But the
effects of it's ravages are apparent. 1t
loves starch and feeds on the starch
used in the bindings of books, and also
eats away the surface of heavily
glazed paper to feed upon the sizing.
1t eats also starched clothing, linen
and curtains and may do damage to
any fabric in which starch has been
used.
To destroy the silver witch cover
bits of cardboard with boiled starch
paste poisoned with arsenic and lay
them on book shelves, behind mantels,
in the bottom of drawers, etc. But, of
course, take care that this paste is
we'll out of the way of children or
household pets.
Often a book seems ruined when
grease or oil is spilled upon it, but all
traces of these spots may be removed
by sprinkling the spots thickly with a
little powdered pipe clay. Over this
should be placed a piece of heavy
brown paper and a hot iron should be
applied. The iron should be hot, but
not hot enough to scorch the sheet. If
the powder sticks to the book rub it
off gently with a soft eraser.
If the leaves of a book have become
soiled from much usage, they can be
| considerably fresheneds by rubbing
first with piece of stale bread to take
off the loose dirt. Then lay a clean
piece of plotting paper moistened in a
saturated solution of oXalic acid, and
go over this with hot iron. Do not
use enough of~the solution to wet the
page, but simply moisten the leaf OF
the book with the acid.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF BOOKS.

The man or woman who loves good
books need not be told how to take
care of them, for their treasures are
given the greatest consideration and
care. But the person who really loves
books is rare. Many of us enjoy them
to the extent of picking up book in
our idle hours, to receive from it's
pages entertainment, instruction or
amusement. That is our sole interest
in the book. AS to how it fares once
1t is out of our hands we give no
thought. Whether it is put away on
its proper shelf, whether it is busted
regularly, we know not, and, what is
more, in many instances, care not.
This is all wrong. A book is a treas
ure of thought and should be given
some consideration. Those who are
not willing to assume the RESPONSE
bility of owning books should not have
them in their homes. They should give
away the transient volumes which
they read one day and forget the next.
Some one will be glad to care for them
and treasure them at their worth.
Books that are well kept have a dec
orative value in the home which should
make them respected if for no other
reason. The room that is lined with
books Immediately assumes dignified,
thoughtful appearance that cannot be
gained by the costliest furniture
Therefore, if you are fortunate enough
to possess a number of books give
them conspicuous place in your
rooms, and give them, too, the care to
which they are entitled.
The best sort of book shelves are the
open ones, built in nook or corner of
room These, of course, entail more
care, as the contents of the shelves
must be busted frequently, but they
are better for the books than closed
case. Have the shelves rather deep
and bring the books out to the front
edge of the shelf rather than crowding
them back against the wall. They
look better, may be busted more easily,
and where the walls are damp are not
so likely to become modify. Tip the
books gently forward and dust the
tops each day, occasionally take them
down, two or three at q time, and

You can do whatever you think you
can,
It's all in the way you view It.;
It's all in the start that you make,
young man,
You must feel that you're going to
do it.
How do you tackle your work each
day?
With confidence clear, or dread?
What to yourself do you stop and say
When a new task lies ahead?
What is the thought that is in your
mind?
Is fear ever running through it?
If so, tackle the next you find
By thinking you're going to do it.

The selsmograph as q means for
determining the duration and the vlo-
lence of distant earthquakes has
served its purpose for long time.
Latterly, series of these have been
SO employed that they could locate
by triangulation the approximate

bined agencies earthquakes thousands

twenty years an investigator Of seis-

not seem ut first blush To have auy
practical value. but we are informed
that from a military point of view
the facts are quite to the contrary.
The seismograph has really proved TO
be sort of scientific spy and capable
OF telling Immediately things of the

OF an extensive series Of experiments.
