They have put a St. Louis man in
lail on a charge of insanity because he
believes he is in hell. The only trou-
ble with that poor fellow is that he's
too candid.
Ridding the heart of malice does not
in itself free the hands from cruelty.
A man may act cruelly from malice,
but he may act just as cruelly from
sheer coldness. He that would be kind
must not only be delivered from the
spirit of hate, he must be filled with
the spirit of love. If the hands are
never to be cruel, the heart must never
be cold.

In the enterprising city of Buenos
Ayres automobile carriages are no
uncommon sight, in the form both of
private vehicles and of delivery wa-
gons. Cycle roads now radiate from
Buenos Ayres to a distance of sixty
nnd seventy miles in the surrounding
country, and under the care of the Ar-
gentine Tour'.ig club these rcftds are
reserved for the use of bicycles and
automobiles.
A young missionary far in the inte-
riorof China received for baptism a lit-
tle child. The name given was Moo
Dee, so unusual a combination that
;he minister asked its origin. "I havo
heard of your man of God, Moo Dee,"
was the reply. "In our dialect Moo
means love and Dee God. I would have
mv child, too, love God." Mr. Moody
was not a Chi' se, but his name told
In that language the secret of his life.
When I'm Old.
<OUl Favorite >
I would ask of you. mv darling.
A question soft and low.
That gives me many a heartache.
As the moments com ami go.
Your love 1 know Is truthful.
But the traesi love grow# cold;
It is thts that 1 would ask you:
Will you^ve me when I'm old?
Down the stream of life together.
We are sailing side by side,
Hrping some bright day to anchor
Safe beyond the surging tide.
To-day our sky Is cloudless,
But the night • clouds unfold,
And Its storms n ather round us;
Will you love me when I'm old?
And its storms may gather round us;
Will you love me when I'm old?
When m.v hair shall shame the snow-
drift, .
Ar.d my eyes shall dimmer grow,
1 would lean upon some loved one
In the valley as I go.
I would claim of you a promise.
Worth to me a world of gold;
It is only this, my darling.
That you'll love me when I'm old;
It is only this, my darling.
That you'll love me when I'm old!
The manager of an immense business
Jeclares that it costs his house twenty
thousand dollars a year simply to cor-
rect errors in invoices and other pa-
pers—mistakes due to poor writing and
poor English, for which employes are
responsible. "Some stenographers
need but the idea to turn out the per-
fect letter," said he, "while others are
a means of grace because they try the
patience." The money lost because of
ignorance and carelessness in that sin-
gle house would pay the salaries of a
considerable body of teachers in sec-
ondary schools whose pupils are sup-
posed to learn how to write plainly and
speak correctly.
A situation involving some tension
has arisen out of a conflict of inter-
ests between the live stock companies
and the frontier settlers. The com-
panies wish to continue their occupan-
cy of the great plains of the West as
cattle ranges, and are urging the gov-
ernment to lease them to the highest
bidders. The settlers wish the lands
subdivided for homes and farms, and
protest that they shall still be held
open to individual purchase or to pri-
vate entry under the homestead law,
which gives 1G0 acres to each actual
occupant who makes certain improve-
ments. The governor of Nebraska in-
vites other Western governors to a
conference in the interest of the set-
tlers.
Details of the sudden eruption from
the central crater of Mount Etna, last
July, are gradually coming to light
through scientific reports. One of the
most striking phenomena of the out-
break was the formation of an "erup-
tive pine" or "cloud-tree" directly
above the crater. A famous example
of these volcanic smoke-trees is that
which was seen standing over Vesu-
vius during the destruction of Pom-
peii. But Etna is a far mightier and
loftier volcano than Vesuvius. The
verge of its great crater is nearly 11,-
000 feet above sea level, and the
"eruptive pine" last July rose more
than 16,000 feet abov'e the crater. It
was finally blown off by the wind, hid-
ing the sun as it drifted away in an
elongated blacl; cloud.
How to Keep Young
If we take a little leaf out of the
mind-cure books we can have physical
rejuvenation through a youthful spirit,
which must find expression. Cast away
sadness—for that is hateful to youth—
and cultivate instead a real interest in
all that is going on, whether in the
world about you or in the great
world. Observe a young girl of normal
intelligence who has not been
"spoiled." Could anything be more
striking than her keen, voracious in-
terest, in contrast to the tired apathy
of her elders? Keep your interest
alive, feeding it on catholicity of sub-
jects, as you value your youth; for if
certain mental muscles are not used
they will atrophy, and you will be old,
no matter what is the date of your
birth. Every human being you en-
counter is the central point of the
universe from his or her point of
view; how, then, can such a one es-
cape the interest of others? Every
life has its life aims just as vital as
yours. Interest yourself in others,
and, with no such intent at heart, you
will find the spirit refreshed. Away
tack in nursery days we learn of the
little girl who wept in contemplating
the bridge she did not have to cross
after all; but the lesson did not go
very deep, for we keep on worrying
until we have lines up and down the
forehead and lines across. "The thirty-
year marks," they call them, but that
is a mistake. Thirty years of worry
would wrinkle a marble forehead, but
thirty years of optimism would keep
smooth the most delicate skin. Worry
spoils the digestion and brings ill-
health, which in turn ruins beauty.
Worry enwraps the mental faculties,
and prevents them from free exercise,
hampering judgment and shutting out
light. Even those who do it must
know these things well, yet still keep
on, for not to worry means a condi-
tion of spiritual strength and eleva-
tion which is only attained by gradual
process, and everyone has not learned
the way. The lines on the face are
the expression of "the body's guest."
They will come; but who could object
to a crinkling around the eyes that
make a smile the merrier, or lines
about the corner of the mouth that
have a kindly meaning? Such lines
stamp the face with undying youth.—

An era of good feeling has begun
to make its appearance among the vari-
ous denominations professing Chris-
tianity. It is now not an infrequent
occurrence in any of the large cities to
see priests of the Methodist, Presby-
terian, Catholic, Baptist churches, etc.,
in conference discussing reform topics.
But just as this happy state of affairs
begins to show on the horizon of the
church world, J. Alexander Dowie has
made his appearance at the head of a
sect which threatens to grow into great
proportions under the title of the Zion,
Zipn has set its face against all other
denominations and has begun the con-
struction of the city of Zion on the
banks of Lake Michigan. The rapid
strides being made by Dowieism has
surprised church men generaHy. The
real secret seems to be in its social and
co-operative features. One of the cor-
ner-stones is a bank to which members
may bring their money and check it
out at pleasure. This feature may be
adopted by other churches.
Untidy Girls.
One often wonders how it is that
<some loveable girls, who are domesti-
I cated, obliging and accomplished, are
so terribly careless of their personal
appearance at home. They are in the
! minority, it is true, but they are to be
| met with very*frequently, and it is for
j their benefit that this paragraph is
penned. Why should the members of
your own household, who are, pre-
sumably, far dearer to you than
| strangers, be treated with less con-
| sideration than outsiders? If you are
! staying at a friend's house, you would
j not leave your bedrgom without mak-
ing a careful, though not necessarily
j 'laborate, toilet. Why, when iinder
:he parental roof, should you take your
I seat at the breakfast table with hair
j still in "irons," neck and wrists de-
;idedly untidy, and a general ap|«ar-
mce of neglect and slovenliness per-
cading your attire? Even if there are
household duties of a "grubby" nature
to be performed—fires to be lit, grates
'.o be brushed, or carpets to be swept—
these can be done just as well if the
hair has been neatly arranged, the
morning ablutions conscientiously per-
formed, and a neat dress donned. Then,
lust before breakfast, another washing
of the hands, and the putting on of a
collar and a pair of cuffs, will make
the busy girl quite as attractive in ap-
pearance as she undoubtedly is when j
"dressed" for the afternoon. The habit I
of going about the house untidily at- I
iired is which erows rapidly on 1
the unwise girl who once adopts it. It
appears so much more easy to keep in
the "curlers," instead of ' giving the
hair its matutinal brushing and ar-
ranging. The complexion-preserving
wash is shirked, because the water "is
so cold"—this is not an exaggeration;
there" are some girls who in winter
never wash their face until after
breakfast. The old gown, with frayed
wrists, missing buttons, or broken but-
ton-holes, is put on morning after
morning, until its wear becomes al-
most second nature; and no attempt
is made to "look nice" until there is a
chance of being seen by somebody out-
side the family circle. If these untidy
girls could only hear the remarks made
about them when by chance a stranger
does happen to catch sight of them in
their unlovely rb they would at once
relinquish their slovenly habits. The
strange thing is that it is generally
nice-looking lassies who are the worst
sinners in this respect. Plain girls
know how greatly neatness of attire
adds to personal attractions, and, very
wisely, take care to adopt it.

Suggestions to Beautify the Home.
Nothing affords so great an oppor-
tunity for decoration as a window in
a recess. A low seat running arounG
it, the cushions upholstered with some
artistic tapestry, is suggested at once.
After that, growing plants should be
hung from above and curtains ar-
ranged to make of the window a ver-
itable cozy corner. Of course this Is
simple if the recessed window is built
in th« house. But the appearance of
a recess may be given to any window,
and is advisable often in the case of
one in a large, bare room. Place a
couple of brass arms so they will Jut
out from either side of the window
and connect fhem in front with a brass
pole, over which some curtains are
draped. Curtains may also be hung '
from the side arms and the inner side j
of them partially concealed by tall ,
palms. The decorations should be tin- ,
ished, of course, with a window seat. [
To beautify one of those long, narrow,1
commonplace halls, hang with some j
light paper and paint the woodwork in ,
ivory and white. Then midway down
the hall or just at the foot of the '
stairs place a brass rod from wall to j
wall. Throw curtains of some art ma-
terial over it, and from the center
swing a lamp of wrought iron.
After a man once gets the hang of
tlie tiling it i.-> just as easy to be true
and honest as it is to be false and
wabbly.

From Washington
How a Little Boy Was Saved.
"Washington, D. C. — " When our
boy was about 16 months old he broke
out with a rush which was thought to
be measles. In a few days he lmd a
swelling on the left side of his neck
and it was decided to bo mumps. lie
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it was scrofula and ordered a
salve. He wanted to lance the sore,
but I would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became a running sore.
Three doctors said it was scrofula and
each ordered a blood medicine. A
■leighbor told me of a case somewhat
Mke our baby's which was cured by
Jiood's Sarsaparilla. I decided tc
^ive it to my boy and in a short while
his health improved and his neck
healed so nicely that I stopped giving
him the medicine. The sore broke
outagain, however, whereupon 1 again
gave him Hood's Sarsaparilla and its
persistent use has accomplished a com-
plete cure." Miis. -.ettie Ciiase,

Must We tVear the Saucer Hnngs?
The reign of the pompadour is on the
wane. Gradually it is getting smaller. 1
Now a bit of the t" ickness is left out i
of the bunch on the side; again a little
is taken away from its height. Slowly
but surely it is losing its inflation,
surely getting flatter and flatter." Thus
far the new mode is excellent, for it .
always is delightful when the shape
of a woman's head stands out clearly, j
But, alas! Dame Fashion has no wish S
to see the hair of her subjects dressed j
plainly, so she has begun to suggest i
the saucer bang. Paris already has j
adopted this ugly fashion, and so have ]
those American women who always j
try the new styles without waiting for :
the conservative woman to make them
"good form." It is to be hoped the
latter never will happen. Surely the
good taste of American women will re- j
volt against the general adoption of
this hideous method of dressing "wom-
an'® crowning glory."
