The Joy of living.

I have never had much money, but
/ have always enjoyed the things at
hand. / have become so familiar with
the face of Nature that itgfs as the
face of an. old friend and I know and.
love it In every mood. Ny years have
been full of joy, but they have been
years Of simplicity and economy. /
have never stated myself with anything
and the bloom is still o my life.
I have kept young because I have
kept free from worldly and selfish am
billions. If ! had been misery and
grasping, / would have been old and.
unhappy long ago. There is nothing
ike love TO Keep you young-love for
your fellow man and for Nature-and
love Is Natures final law. Someone
asked me how I had kept so
Young and answered that j had been
born young and had never thrown my
youth awny.-John Burroughs.

Snake harmer,s Secret.

How does the snake-charmer charm?
asks a writer in the Popular Science
Monthly. That's one. of the questions
we've always asked ourselves. And
now an English doctor tells us one
of the secrets.
Take the case of the cobra, for
instance. It is a very venomous snake,
yet the snake-charmeri is not harmed
when bitten by one.
The secret lies in the fact that the
charmer 'milks" the cobra before he
allows himself to be bitten. He makes
the cobra bite into a piece of meat,
thereby eHpelling two thirds of the
poison in its poison gland. When the
charmer allows the snake to bite him
Immediately thereafter, there is not
enough poison left in the gland to do
any harm.
What is the next step?The chaImer
makes the snake bite a fowl while he
squeezes the remaining drops of
poison out of the snakes gland: the
fowl dies, and the charmer wins the
confidence of his audience.

Give a Hand.

In every community there are sue
cessful men-men OF experience, men
of In every community there
are young men who might make a sue
cess of life. They have it in them,
all they lack is some one to give a
hand. 1t may not be money they
need, perhaps only an interested
friend. Somebody helps whenever a
young man gets started right in any
thing. Somewhere every successful
mar got q start by some ones help.
To keep the world moving on an up
ward slope the process must be made,
perpetual. Each man, once started.
should become a starter of others.
And who starts another gets himself
along at a more rapid gait. There
is that in helping another that re-
fleets not credit alone to the agent,
but a bent OF mind, an outlook on life,
a generosity of soul, that wins a way
forward for himself also.-Thrift

Efficient

The measure of real necessity is
surprisingly small. When one finds the
medium ground between prodigality
and stinginess he will realize that he
can live there, even though his income
may be moderate. Greater moderation
in many things would leave us a
healthier and happier race, to say
nothing of what it would do for our
bank accounts. Certainly, before buy
ing a thing one should honestly ask
himself whether he needs it. He
should, likewise, give himself an hon
est answer.
The second principle of efficient
spending is that when one has honest
~ decided that he needs a thing he
should buy the best he can get. If
n buys at all, it pays to search the
market for an article of high quail
ity. Moreover. he is very apt not to
find an article of high grade unless
he does search the market rather
carefully. z

VERDICT BY JUDGE LYNCH"
just Where That Famous Jurist First
Held Court Has Long Been Mat
ter Of Dispute.

Lynch law is purely an American
ism. Its origin is somewhat in doubt.
No such law is on the statute books,
and the application of the expression
today refers to outlaw or mob law
which circumvents the written law, or
intiicts a swift punishment before the
legal authorities have had a chance to
take action.
~Figuratively speaking, such an act
is called "a verdict by Judge Lynch
According to one authority, one
Charles Lynch, a patriot Of Virginia,
%conspired with Robert Adams and
Thomas Galloway, to deal out relent-
lessly and un~hesitatingly, punishment
to all law breakers and Tories during
the days Of our Revolution.
However, this origin is disputed.
Some say that there was a small body
of water known as Lynch creek in
North Carolina during the same pc
riod in u history, and that on it's
shores a court-martial was held over
the lifeless body of a Tory who had
been hanged to prevent his rescue
Naturally, the verdict was death by
hanging, and the judge did not have
to bother about the execution of the
misunderstanding Plain Dealer.

INCREASES AS II TRAVELS
Train in Egypt Picks Up Passengers
and Freight al It Proceeds
Along Line.

An American engineer tells Of a
train that will conveniently stop
whenever freight or passengers appear
by the side OF the track. This rail-
way is to be found in Egypt. The
train at starting, as seen by the
American, consisted only of the engine
and coach, which might have been a
baggage car with four windows cut
in it. and a bench placed all around.
But before it had gone very far the
train came upon a couple of trucks
filed with a n standing on the line
in the middle Of a cane field. These
were attached to the front Of the
engine, which moved slowly along till
they came to another batch. These
were almost empty, but the cargo was
piled on each side Of the line, and
Arabs rapidly loaded them, while the
employees took advantage of the de-
lay to water the engine.
This task was performed in the
most primitive fashion by two wa
ter carriers. who, having placed a
notched section of a date tree be
tween the engine and the ground, to
serve as a ladder, laboriously filled
the goatskins, which are swung on
their backs. at a ditch by the side of
the track, climbed up the tree ladder
to the engine and emptied their goat
skins into the boiler. By the time it
was full the. trucks were loaded, and
the train proceeded, pushing about a
dozen trucks before it.

The Water Spider.

DESTRUCTION

A l4-ycar-Old Pennsylvania hoy with a passion for smashing
things, confesses that he wrecked the Lackawanna Limited.
His supreme ambition was to wreck a train. Now he's awaiting
trial for murder.
A lot of brain experts will ponder this lads ease. They'll say
he's abnormal, that he has destructive mania
Psychologists will suggest various cures. Many fathers will
recommend the strap-Oil.
What's really wrong with this boy-as well MS many others-is
that he was born several thousand years too late.
The desire to destroy is one of the most powerful impulses Of
brute man. Civilization has restrained il, but who hasnt gotten mad
at something and smashed it with great glee3
When you were a baby, you smashed toys as fast as they were
placed before you. That's one reason the infants playthings are
made Of rubber
IL You were n normal boy, along about Your sixth birthday pa
ave you a chest of tools. Probably you rewarded him by saving
of the piano leg or driving nails in the parlor Fable.
Every boy goes through the window smashing stage. Throw
a cracked goldfish globe on the ash heap. Nearly every grown up
that passes will look about for a stone. Lets see who can smash it
first
W. boast a lot Of the constructive Sprit of man. But we all love
TO follow the fire engines to watch II house burn down. Watching a
house being constructed isn't as interesting.
This thing we call civilization, is, from the economic side little
more than n bottling up or caging of the destructive instinct
Periodically the bonds break aud a nation goes on a destructive
orgy-war. The world has just emerged from one Of these war
orgies. Now we have to buckle down for a few generations and re-
nQir the damages.
There were plenty of prtcedcnis in the past, warning ms that
what is broken must be replaced. But the desire Ia destroy proved
stronger than the wisdom of restraint.
You wonder what civilization will lead to-what It's highest TYNE
will have as its leading characteristic.
The answer Isl absolute caging Of the destructive impulse.
That has been the story of all great civilizations of The past. The
ancient AthenIan Greeks built a celebrated temple. the Partbrnon
conceded Ia be the finest piece of architecture in the hi,tory of man.
Adjoining it were statues carved by hstory's greatest sculptor,
Phidias.
Being highly civilized, the Greeks revered the statues Inyad.
ing Turks. less civilized, used the statues as targets for their print
tive riaes-and ruined them.
That one incident is characteristic of the whole history of man.
