SUMNER READING.

1t isn't often that we call q mans

which he lives to have his name upon

It to one gentleman and he replied

There Is q man whose conversation,

who fails to understand that the old

in the cooler months. and that II
he expects to keep up with it he will
have to read sumner news" just the
same as that dished out by him home

But the fact OF the matter Is the
home paper Is home institution, and
as such is entitled to support twelve
months in the year. 1t would be q
fine community il we quit going to
church and kept our children out OF
Sunday school just because the house
of worship is not as comfortable In
summer as It is In winter. And
wouldn't 1t be bad judgment to quit
doing business with the banks through
the summer months, or to buy uI
enough groceries in the early spring
to last until cold weather?

It has fallen down completely in prac-

Is plain. We are not yet ready for
this step. As a people, we have no:
yet arrived at that point where OH
representatives are efficient or honest

the taking over Of the wires and othc,

Foolish Fear of Poverty.

great deal of apparent poverty
come from dread of poverty. A man
saves every cent and goes mind and
soul hungry, and, ten to one, he is
starving somebody else at the same
time along with himself. He is really
poor, for the time being, although he
has q large bank account.
Poverty will come every time as the
result Of the improper attitude toward
money. Money is not reality; It rep
resents things that we consider for
our good. But there is no poverty like
that Of the starved soul that shrtnks
Ind dries up into narrowness and COM
preston. In getting the feeling of
wealth look about you. See all the
wonders of nature; believe that won
ders will happen and then get ready
for them.
After the days work is done build
air castles, and then go in and lay a
strong foundation under one of them.

essary for the bigger job. The key to
this lies in your hands In doing the

GREATEST IN OUR HISTORY
Among Men Of Acknowledged Pre-
eminenee George Washington Eas-
lily Stands at the Head.

In the generation that saw the birth
and the earlier years of the republic
five men stand out-George Washing
ton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas
Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and
John Marshall.
them were great men in the full sense
Of the word Is q question on which
people were not agreed in the lifetimes
Of these four. and are not agreed to-
day; but every one felt then as every
one feels now that Washington was
great. He Is q world figure.
In mere Intellectual power he was
not superior to the other four. He
had less originality and less wide
range Of capacity than Franklin, less
versatile activity of mind than JET
ferson, less brilliant gifts for con-
structive policy and the exposition
thereof than Hamilton; less logical
grasp and penetration of thought than
Marshall; but he rose superior to them
all in a certain massive strength Of
character, in a stately dignity, in
calm firmness Of purpose that neither
the smiles nor frowns Of fortune could
divert from the course his judgment
had approved. So his primacy was
undisputed then and has remained I'M
disputed ever since.-Youth's Com

THEIR HEARTS NOT BURIED
Many Instances of Celebrated Men
Who Have Had Chief Organ Of
Life Preserved.

A recently proved will contained the
clause that the deceased wished his
heart to be separated from his body
and preserved in spirits"
The request, though singular one,
is not without precedent. In 1909
Lord Burton made similar request,
and nine years earlier the Marques
Of Butte ordered that his heart should
be conveyed to the Mount of Olives
for burial. This was done by his
widow. Robert Bruce enjoined a sim
liar duty on his retainer Douglas,
who may or may not have acceded
to the demand
Shelly's heart is supposed to have
been rescued by Trelawney during the
cremation Of the poet, but there is in
sufficient evidence on the point. Da-
vid Livingstone's body rests in West
minister abbey, but his heart lies I'M
der tree in Africa, and the exact
spot is marked by tall obelisk sur
mounted by cross, raised by the
Royal Geographical society.

Odd Funeral Customs.

Curious funeral customs fingered
long in Wales and the border coun-
ties. Aubrey tells US of "the sim
eater" who came to the house Of the
dead person and for meal and a fee
undertook the responsibility of the
guilt of the departed!
In Wales the night before the burial
the friends and neighbors came to
the house, bringing with them small
piece of meat or bread and some beer,
etc. Tais night was called "Wyl Nos"
(the watching night. Certain psalms
were sung and Scriptures read, and
when person entered the room they
knelt before the corpse and repeated
the Lords Prayer.
Pence and halfpence were given to
the poor in place of small rolls Of
bread, which was the oder custom.
Along the road from the house to the
churchyard at every cross-road the
bier was rested on the ground and the
Lords Prayer repeated; so also on
antering the church.

Moss Grows on Old Books.

A French scientist, DR.. Pierre See,
has recently communicated to the
Academy of Sciences in Paris the re.
suits of original botanical excursions
which he has been making in the IL
braries. By means Of microscopic ex-
animation of moldy volumes, together
with experiments in propagation, he
has shown that these blemishes are
caused by fungi of low orders. Certain
OF these molds secrete pigment whose
color Is characteristic of the species,
and which diffuses through the paper.
More than thirty years ago Hun
garian botanist, Jules Schaarschmidt,
attempted to study the plants met up
on the edges and in the folds Of old
bank notes. among the dust and dirt.
He scraped the surface Of paper mon
ey in these places and, transferring
the deposit thus secured into a drop
Of water placed under a microscope,
he was able to establish the presence
Of an abundant cryptogamic vegeta-
tion.- But he pursued his investiga-
lions no further than this.
