KEEP A CHEERFUL MIND.
Not Only Wh«« Thine* U« Well. b t
When You Meet Dl ««ter.
To be cheerful when the world is
going well with you is no great virtue.
The thing is to be cheerful under dls-
| advantageous circumstances. If one
has lost money, if business prospects
fall, if enemies appear triumphaut, if
there is sickness of self or those dear
to one, then is it indeed a virtue to be
i cheerful. When poverty pinches day
i after day, month after month or
' through the years as they pass and one
I has ever to deny self of every little
longed for luxury and the puzzle of
how to make a dollar do the work for
two has to be solved, then the man
who can still be cheerful is a hero. He
is a greater hero than the soldier who
faces the cannon's mouth. Such cheer-
fulness is the kind that we need to cul-
tivate.
To acquire this self command we
need to think of many things. We
need to guard against giving way to
irritation about little things, if we can
maintain self control in small matters,
we shall have less difficulty in main-
taining it when great matters are to be
met If we meet with irreparable
losses, we must readjust our lives to lit
the new conditions. There is no great
evil so bad but that it might have been
worse. Let us congratulate ourselves
that the worst Is not yet. '1 here is
truth in the saying that "every cloud
has a silver lining." Though it may
for a time look so dark we can see no
glint of the silver, yet we know it is
the re.—Mil waukee Jou rnal.

'curious scene in genca.
I A Street Where the Sun'* i'
j oixcnrud hr Urr« K Clothe*.
One of the most curious scenes la
' all Italy is to be found in the laua-
j dresses' quarter in Genoa. This iuar-
I ter consists of a short street which is
| reached by descending a few steps
I branching off from the main thorough -
| fare. Buildings of six stories rise on
each side of the street, and from ev-
; ery one of their windows is stretched
one or more clotheslines sagging with (
| the weight of apparel of every kind
j and condition. An eternal shadow cast
\ by hundreds of drying garments hangs
! over this quarter and makes it dark
and gloomy. The pedestrian who looks
I upward toward the blue sky can see
nothing but a cloud of variegated shape
and color which effectively obscures
the light of the sun.
In the center of the street below
there stand in a sort 01 summer house
! a number of public tanks. Crowds of
| shrill voiced women gather day by day
i about this out of door laundry to ex-
I change the gossip of the quarter and
! wash out their piles of soiled linen-
! From the appearance of the lines winch
i stretch and intertwine far above the
j pavement it is to be judged that all the
washing that Is done in Genoa at all
is done in this particular street.—De-
troit Free I'ress.

An Architectural Curiosity.
There are many churches through-
out England which are without tower
or spire, but there are few churches
which ran boast of having a tower and
spire side by side. One of these is the
parish church of Ormskirk in Lanca-
shire. The tower is built over the
porch at the west end, and the spire is
placed as closely as possible to it. 1 lie
origin of this architectural freak has
not been ascertained, but there is a tra-
dition to the effect that when Orme,
the Saxon pirate from whom the town
derives its name, decided to construct
a kirk, or church, as an expiatory of-
fering for his evil deeds his two daugh-
ters quarreled over the design for the
structure. One determined to lmve a
tower, the other was equally resolved
to have a steeple.
As neither of them would give way
the pirate chief acceded to both their
wishes, and the curious may see the
tower and spire still keeping watch
side by side on the surrounding coun
try
The Fir t American Book.
It is a remarkable fact that in a year
after the first printing press was estab-
lished in Cambridge, Mass., or in 10-10
■ an American book was issued from it
! (being the first published in what are
now the United States), which was
' soon after reprinted in England, where
it passed through no less than eighteen
I editions, the last being issued in 1«
, thus maintaining a hold on English
popularity for 114 years. This was
i the "Bay I'salm Book." It passed
j through twenty-two editions in Scot-
I land, where it was extensively known,
the last bearing date 1759, and as it
i was reprinted without the compiler en-
i joying pecuniary benefit from its sale
| we have irrefutable proof that Eng-
| land pirated the first American book,
i being in reality the original aggressor
' in this line. This first American work
; enjoyed a more lasting reputation and
I bad a wider circulation than any vol-
i umc since of American origin, bavin -

Tli«* "Huntsman'* Cop.'
The "huntsman's cup," or pitcher
plant, is conceded to be one of the ear-
liest, if not the earliest, of the wild
flowers of America to become known
to Europeans. References occur in re-
lation to it as early at 1570 when a
Lisbon physician named Launanus
sent it to a contemporary as the leaves
of the frankincense tree. It appears
that two sailors brought the curious
leaves with some resin from the pine
trees growing near, and Launanw1 sup-
posed they belonged together. Muc
confusion occurred and much wonder-
ment was expressed as to what curious
tree with such leaves could be found
in America giving such "sweete odoure
when the gum was hurned DiHl
strange to say. most attempts to clear
up the mystery resulted in greater ob-
scurity.

Bow legs become straighter,

We all like to puzzle our brains over
things which give certain and strange
results, but which we cannot explain.
Here's a puzzle that puzzles everybody.
Take the number of your living iiro
ers, double the amount, add to it three,
multiply the result by five, add to, It
the number of living sisters, multiply
the result by ten. add to it the number
of deaths of brothers and sisters, su
tract 150 from the result, lbe rigli
hand figure will be the
deaths, the middle figure the number
otliving sisters and the left the num-
ber of living brothers.—Canton Satur
day Holler.
Vernet at the Sett.
Vernet, the celebrated painter of sea
pieces, eager In the study of nature,
made several long voyages in his youn-
ger days in order to observe the vari-
ous scenes which the changeful ele- j
ments exhibit. In one of these excur- j
1 sions undertaken merely for the love of j
1 the art a most violent gale of wind
! arose, when Vernet, without attending
1 to the perils with which lie was sur- |
rounded, desired one of the sailors to
j lash him fast to some ot the rigging.
I Soon after this request was granted
1 the storm increased, attended with
i thunder and lightning and with every
circumstance that could add to the hor-
1 ror of the scene, and consternation and
I terror sat on every countenance, but |
I in the young painter every emot on ,
was lost in that of admiration, which j
1 so wholly engrossed his attention that j
I he every now and then exclaimed in ,
j the most enthusiastic terms, "Good |
heavens, what a noble scene!
arc the most fatal of all dis-
eases.

alluring dish In the world, yet they
have been pronounced delicious by

tried them. Fed as they are upon the

prepare them Is to bake them In the

True Blue.
The expression "true blue," which we
hear so often, has not even an English
parentage, but is said to have been a
j Spanish saying, which meant that the
I blood that tilled the veins of the aris-
! tocracy of Spain was blue in color,
while that of inferior mortals was
1 more or less black, and the proverb
1 that "true blue will never stain, In-
' stead of meaning, as it is generally sup-
posed. that "a noble heart will never
disgrace itself," actually refers to the
"blue aprons" worn by butchers on ac-
count of their not showing blood stains
—a far jump this from the blue blood
of the haughty Spanish aristocrat to
the humble apron of the butchers boy.
