Limit and Thounnt.

Not all thought is travelling. The
superstition that when one thinks OF
the moon ones thought travels to the
moon is q mistake, for the thought is
formed tn the mind and remains there.
The time taken to think of anything"
declares a writer, occupies some
small fraction CT q second. Light
travels" at the rate Of sbout 10000
miles a second, and If II is thought
which travels IN what is called tele-
pathy it would have to travel at the
same speed because ether, tho medium
which transmits light, would also
transmit the brain vibrations that &C.
company thought. The telepathlc the
Org Of Thought which travels" has
been objected TO on the ground that
after travelling considerable distances,
such as are sometimes claimed for
telepnthic communication, the brain
vibrations would be so diffused and
weakened as to make no impression.

STORMS AND FOREST TREES

dure Strain Better Than That OF

II Is always interesting to watch
the effect of storms anywhere, but In
the woods these effects ere most va.
ried and remarkable. says a writer.
II frequently happens that tor
nado or hurricane viii follow GER

It's swath suffer or are blown down !;
but where there Is a general very high
wind and all trees are hit with about
the same force IL may be noted that
the best rooted ones and not these Of
the strongest wood survive.
Wind resistance of the whole tree
has also something to do with tho
bending character of the trunk and
branches. for where these give before
the force of the storm they permit the
wind 10 slide OF. The hickory. above

10 croeusea in November.

It should be a consolation to women
who have passed thirty to remember
that the most beautiful work of human
hands-the Venus de Milo--is the
statue OF a mature woman, comments
n writer. AL the Yenuses, In fact. are
represented as mothers. Them Is not

Greek statues only Psyche could quail

Psyche might appear q little plump

one does rot expect to pick snowdrops

November, and it IL just as futile to
hope to look sixteen when you arc

Generation That Really Knows What
GIadness Is Has Not Been sern,
Asserts Church Paper.

Seine sage has arisen to remarl;
Ehat human life up TO about fifty years
ago was not worth living-that only
the Inventions and institutions Of the
Inst half century have made life bear
able.
Unfortunately, there IS no way aceu-
rGtely TO gauge the degree of happi-
ness OF any period or even to define
exactly what happiness is, says the
Christian Herald.
All we can know for certain is that
the happiness of our own times is tho
best that Is attainable to rs, and lucky
Is be- who gets his share Of IT,
Happiness. like health, Is known 70
us chiefly through its opposite. Health
is known through disease and pain.
and happiness through dlsappoinf-
nent and misery.
The masses of mankind. until this
century almost dumb now make heard
their sufferings and dissatisfaction.
The woes of centuries are finding ut
tprance In the free speech of our day.
The wall may cause the unthinking
TO suppose that the sun OF human
happiness Is suddenly obscured. But.
TO the contrary. the remedies follow
ing the better understanding Of wrong
conditions steadily improve the con-
ditions under which happiness may
become more general. The more we
hear of wrongs. the fewer wrongs We
have.
Philosophers may wrangle about 1t
until doomsday. and no doubt they
WILL but tire age which knows the
least earthly misery and woe Is the
one that has been longest dead, and
The generation that really knows what
happiness Is and can realize its full
possession is a long time yet unborn.

The Beauty Of Truth.

Only that which has character IL
beautiful.
Character Is tho essential truth OF
any natural object, whether ugly or
beautiful; 1t Is even what one might
call double truth, for it is the inner
truth translated BY the outer truth; it
Is the soul, the feelings, the idea, ex-
pressed by the features OF a face, by
the gestures. and actions of a human
being, by the tones of sky, by the
line of a horizon.
Now, to the great artist, everything
In nature has character; for the I'M
swerving directions Of his observation
searches out the hidden meaning OF
all things.
There is nothing ugly IN art except
that which offers no outer or inner
truth. Rodln.

IT have to admit that rooster Is
better than an alarm clock in some
ways. The noise Of the clock can be
stopped if a man rebels at getting up,
but the rooster keeps on growing. Ere
quently people neglect to wind up the
