FIND FISH ALREADY BR0lLED
Volcanic Peak in South American
Andes Throws Out Dainty Morsels
Which Indians Appreciate.

There is q volcanic peak In the
South American Andes that serves
broiled fish for breakfast. Not infre-
quently they also are on the bill of
fare for Mrcheon and dinner as well.
This peak is called the Tunghurahua,
and is regarded as special instru-
ment of the gods by Indians living in
the vicinity.
They believe that when an eruption
takes place, running their crops and
perhaps sweeping away their homes,
the mystic spirit Of the Tungurahua
provides the broiled fish so that they
will not want. But the scientific ex-
PLANTATION is somewhat different.
Far underneath the mouth Of the
volcano is subterranean lake. When
the volcano begins to spout flame and
lava the suction draws up tons Of wa
ter. carrying along the fish, which are
cooked by the inferno they pass
through. After an eruption the In
dians find thousands of the fish in the
ashes and lava from the volcano, and
many of these are just crisp enough
for dainty breakfast.

Knew Value Of Relaxation.

"How is it that you are able to do
so much more than other people?" ask
ed tired, nervous woman, who stop
ped Mrs. Palmer for a word at the
close of one of her lectures.
Because" she answered, with the
sudden CLEAN of q smile. 81 haven't
any nerves nor conscience, and my
husband says I haven't any back
bone"
It was true that she never wor-
ried. She had early learned to live
one day at time, without Hooking
before and after" And no one knew
better than Alice Freeman Palmer the
renewing power of joy. She could
romp with some of her very small
friends in the half hour before an i'm
portant meeting; so for a walk or
ride along country lanes when a vex-
ing problem confronted her; or spend
a quiet evening by the fire reading
aloud from one Of her favorite po-
cts at the end Of busy day.-Mary

GLOOMY DAY HAS ITS USES
For One Thing, Il Gives Man an op-
portunity to Mediate and Be
Strengthened.

A gloomy day now and then serves
useful purpose. 1t enables fellow
to sit down and take stock Of himself,
for there is something about the lower
ing clouds and dismal weather which
causes one to contemplate more seri-
ously the realities of life, the Dayton
News observes.
And a gloomy day at this season, OF
all gloomy days! Sodden, sullen,
dreary! The gloom seems to hover
over and settle down upon one and
sink into his soul. The mind refuses
to run in cheerful channels. The very
muscles seem to relax and to rebel
when asked to do a task. The blood
flows slowly through the veins and the
nerves grow dull. At least, that is
the way it seems upon gloomy day
at this time of the year.
It is pretty hard to think seriously
when the sun is shining. Life seems
to be q sort Of a joke. The world
smiles and you smile with it, and all
is fickleness. 1t is no time beneath the
smiling skies of a pleasant day to
mediate. But a gloomy day-what
are we on earth for? From whence
did we come? Whittier do we go? Is
it all worth while? Should we struggle
on, with the reward so small or end 1t
ell? These are the questions that
come to the fellow who sits and gazes
out into the sullen air Of gloomy
day.
But the beauty Of it is, he answers
his own questions to his own satisfac-
ton, and arises from his place at the
window, renewed in strength and In
determination to do the right thing
for he comes to understand the
beauty Of these gloomy days, to value
them at their worth, and to know that
he who sits and meditates is profted
thereby.

Equity.

Let the tears of the poor man find
in them more compassion, but more
justice, than the pleadings Of the rich.
Try and discover the truth, as well
among the promises and presents of
the rich man as among the wailings
and opportunities Of the poor.
Where equity can and should have
place, charge not the rigor of the law
upon the delinquent, for the fame OF
the righteous judge stands not great
er than that Of the merciful.
If perchance you should bend the
rod of justice, let it not be with the
weight Of a bribe, but with that OF
mercy.
When it should happen to thee to
judge the cause of some enemy OF
thine, turn thy mind away from thine
injury and set it on the truth Of the
case-Cervantes.

Blind Mans Fine Memory.

In the later years of his life the
mathematician Euler was almost total
ly blind. Then, and probably earlier,
he carried in his memory table OF
the first six powers of "series of ma
tural numbers up to 100" 1t is related
that on one occasion two of his stu
dents attempted to calculate q con-
verging series. AS they progressed
they found disagreement in their re-
suits. These differed by unit at the
fiftieth figure. The question was re-
ferred to Euler, who decided to make
the calculation. Ee did this mentally,
and his result was found to be correct

, Useless Wishes.

sT wish I had not done it. wish I
had not said it." How often we hear
and say these words. But Of what use
are they? Nothing was ever dragged
back from the past by a wish that
came afterward. 1t is the wish that
comes before, and prompts US to be
cautious, because we desire to do and
say what is best, that IS worth any
thing. Preventing is better than re-
lpenting, because preventing spares the
irepenting that is unable to recall the
deed done, and the word spoken.
