MUCH DEPENDS ON ONESELF
Good Hard Sense as Applied to An
eient Superstltions Concerning
"Blue Monday"

happened to find a most entertain
Ing old book in the free library die
tionary Of superstitions. 1t has three
big Volumes, all crammed with the
fears and beliefs Of the human race.
Just to sample some of them that APP
ply to Monday, here are a few:
IF things commence to go wrong on
Monday they Will 90 wrong all the
week, but If you have good luck on
Monday you will keep 1t up"
PAY no bills on Monday If you can
help it."
(This is congenial advice and easily
followedD
IF you meet croSs-eyed person on
Monday you will not have good luck
till Thursday
IF the sun sets clear Friday night 1t
will rain before Monday night"

IF you lose your temper three times
on Monday you will have great fam
lily quarrel"
(Thls bit Of sasncty laS an ozcal-
lent chance of being true one would
think. Still, there may be some men
who could get away with three blow
outs and have no cOmeback.)
To add our own observation to the
collected wisdom of the ages your
Monday is neither more or less than
what you choose to make 1t when you
get out Of bed In the morning. You
can make 1t lucky or unlucky If you
wish. -Philadelphia Bulletin.

NECESSARY TO KEEP BOOKS
Without Accurate Accounts No Form
Of Business Can se Successfully
Carried on.

Accountancy, which is the science
OF systematlglng business, has a his
tory that runs back at least 1900
years. Very early il the development
of nations It was found that in COM
merce as well as in the affairs Of state.
systematic and careful account-keep-
Ing were indispensable. These sys-
TENS were, at first, crude and. laborl-
Gus, but they at least kept the finances
Of the nation and the marts Of trade
from being chaotic.
The invention Of double entry book
keeping early In the fifteenth century
by the merchants and bankers Of Ven
fee gave to the commerce Of Europe an
Invaluable trade instrument, and one
without which the great commercial
enterprises of the later centuries could
hardly have existed.
And so 1t has been on down to the
present time there has been parallel
progress between the accomplishments
OF commerce and the science Of &C.
counting, and It Is known 20 every man
In business that the former could not
continue without the latter Even the
most unbuslnesslike people know this
much, and we can hardly imagine any
one silly enough to attempt to carry
on any kind Of q business enterprise
without keeping books.
Bookkeeping. as a formal subject o.
study. Is taught in most Of the public
and private schools Of this country,
but It is only that form Of bookkeeping
that applies to the affairs Of the meF-
chant or the shopkeeper. The public
has yet to learn that housekeeping Is
quite as necessary to THE prosperity Of
the wageworker, the salaried man, the
farmer and the hOuseIEseper as 1t is to
the shOpkesper, the merchant or the
manufacturer Exchange.

ImprsssIonabIe Fowls.

Sunshine seems to play an impor-
tant part in the lives Of fowls. There
is no doubt that they lay much more
regularly, and appear generally hap
pier, when in the sunlight. The next
best thing to sunshine in this dull old
country is light which gives to the
fowls the impression that the sun is
shining.
Fortunately the fowl is easily de-
ceived, with the result that great
deal Of success has attended the ex-
periments Of a weli-known engineer
who is building lighthouses with a
material similar to canvas, stained and
vanished so that the house is always
lighted in the daytime with light of a
pleasant golden cOlOr. By means of
electric light placed outside, the fowls
can easily be made to think the sun
is always shining; and so successful
have been the results that a farm IL
being established on these lines.

FLOWERS HOURS OF SLEEP
That They Differ Is a Proof Of the
Adaptability Of Everything
in Nature.

That flowers sleep Is evident to the
most casual observer. The beautiful
daisy opens at sunrise and closes at
sunset, whence its name days eye"
The morning glory opens its flower
with the day. The ''four o'clock"
awakes at four o'clock in the morning,
but closes It's eyes In the middle of the
day, and the dandelion is In full bloom
only while there is strong light. The
habit of some flowers Is certainly curl
GUS, and furnishes one Of the many
instances which prove the singular
adaptabllity Of everything in nature
The reason is found in the method by
which this class Of flowers Is fertilized.
Flowers which are fortified by
night flying insects derive no advan-
tage from being open by day; and, on
the other hand, those which are fer
tilted by bees would gain nothing by
being open at night. Nay, it would be
a disadvantage, because it would rem
der them liable to be robbed Of their
honey and pollen by insects which are
incapable of fertilizing them It is
possible, then, that the closing Of fow-
ers may have reference to the habit Of
insects, and 1t may be observed, also.
In support Of this, that wind-fertilized
flowers never sleep.

Blind Horses

The manner in which blind horses
get about without coming to more
harm than they do is remarkable.
They rarely, IL ever, hit their heads
against q fence or stone wall, and
will sheer off when they come near
one. 1t appears from careful obser-
walton that it is neither shade nor
shelter which warns them Of the dan
ger. On an absolutely sunless and
MINDLESS day their behavior is the
same Their olfactory nerves doubt
less become very sensitive, for they
will poke their heads downward in
search Of water fifty yards before they
come to stream crossing the road
way.
1t cannot be an abnoEmally deveI-
oped sense Of hearing which leads
them to do this, for they will act alike
though the water be a stagnant pool.
Men who have been blind for any
great length Of time develop some
what similar instincts to blind horses.

Is there problem which. perhaps, Is
more likely to be answered some day
than this one, which has been pro-

lists.

Naturally he would descend feet fore

presumably be going upwards until he

TENNESSEE LAGS
IN HIGHWAYssWORK
Claimed at Washington that
Only Few Federal Aid
Projects Submitted

The following from Washington
shows a lack of interest in road
building upon the part of our state
that is regretable:
What is the matter with the
Tennessee Highway Commission9
1t appears to have fallen into what
old Grover Cleveland once de-
scribed as state OF innocuOus
desuetude" fit is still function
ing it is barely preceptible III
Washington. If a fire is not built
under this bunch of otiiceholders'
the state stands to lose millions of
dollars Of federal funds for the
construction of badlyneeded roads
in Tennessee. With total OF
nearly 100000 available from
federal funds for this purpose, the
projects are coming up slowly to-
the bureau of good roads that it is
exciting comment. The slowness
of Tennessee is in sharp contrast
to other states, which are Compel
ing keenly in an effort to secure
avery dollar allotted TO them under
the federal road act.
Up to June 80 of this year the
secretary of agriculture had APP
proved 1879 good road projects.
OF this total seven were for Ten
|nessee, involving less than one
tenth of the money available. Since
that time two more projects have
been received, making total Of
nine for the entire state.
Projects approved for the entire
country for the fiscal year repre-.
sented more than $4,000 miles Of
road. The Tennessee projects
barely total 100 miles since the
passage of the federal act.
The total amount of federal
money available for Tennessee at
this time is 1895, 224.08. This
includes the states share of federal
funds for the current as well as
the unexpended balance available
from previous years. The work
under agreement between the state
and federal governments will alb.
sorb only about 100000 Of this
amount. The season for road
building is getting late and it is
not probable that many more pro-
iects can be started this year unless
somebody wakes up.
Not only is the federal money
available, but the state good roads
funds is available to match a great
part Of it, as required by law.
Il is charged that the Tennessee
Commission devotes
good part Of its time to propaganda
work creating a sentiment for
road construction in the counties
rather than building the roads.
There is no necessity for waiting
on county bond Issue campaigns to
be fought out, since the money is
available for general pro-
iects.

When you find yourself ready to put
the worst construction on the acts of

an acquaintance passed you without

take yourself in hand. Suspicious PEG.
