When thou wishest to delight thyself think of the virtues of those whu
live with thee; for Instance the activity of one and the modesty of another
and the liberality of a third and some other good quality of a tourth. Mar-
cus Aurelius.
There is in souls a sympathy with Bounds and as the mind is pitched
the ear Is pleased with melting airs of martial music brisk or grave some
chord in unison with what we hear is touched within us and the heart re-
plies. Cowper.
Be sure that straightforwardness is more than a match at last for all the
involved windings of deceit. In your daily life do what you feel right say
what you feel true and leave with faith and boldness the consequences to
God. F. W. Robertson.
The absolute Justice of the present system of things is as clear to me

Stand aside from the crowd and look on have no other business than to
look on how mad and preposterous how purposeless and inexplicable will
the whole sceue or human life appear. Step down Into the crowd; choose a
path or let accident choose for you; be one of the jostling multitude; have

A. Fuller.
There are many who Beem to think that we bave fallen on an age in the
world when life Is especially difficult and anxious when there is less leisure
than of yore and the struggle for existence is keener than ever. On the
other hand we must remember how much we hi e gained in security. It may
be an age of hard work but when this is not carried to an extreme it Is by
no means an evil. If we bave less leisure one reason Is because life Is so
full of interest. Cheerfulness Is the daughter of employment; and on the
whole I believe there never was a time when modest merit and patient In-
dustry were more sure of reward. Sir John Lubbock.

f the highest importance that the
drinking water of a household or a
holding the post and he decided that
city should be In its purity above re
proach but the problem for the ordi-
nary man is how to determine this
point.
The appearance ui the water Is by
no means conclusive for it may be
beautifully clear and palatable yet
ontain myriads of deadly bacteria;
or it may be muddy and of a disagree-
ble odor and taste and yet contain
nothing of a really harmful nature.
The only way by which absolute cer-
tainty can be had lies in a chemical
and bacteriological analysis repeated
at regular intervals.
But elaborate and repeated analyses
n? this sort can be had as a rule only
n the case of large communities with
a common source and are not at the
service of the individual who must
look to bis own supply from wells or
springs. In such a case one must judge
of the source by Its surroundings.
If the neighborhood Is thinly set
tled and the well is forty or fifty
feet from the nearest house or out-
building and on higher ground one
may use the water for drinking with
reasonable sense of safety. The
same is true of water from a spring
which Issues from the ground at a
level considerably above that of the
house and barns. But if water Is
drawn from wells fn a town or from
well near the house or outbuildings
or below their level or from a spring
similarly situated It is almost sure to
be contaminated occasionally if not
onstantly and so is the water of a
tream except In an absolutely unBet-

which will ever be sacred. It is the
mound on the hill about a mil? from
where gold was first discovered be-

founder of Tombstone. Here is a great
pile of rough boulders in the face of

Indians were always at their very
worst. Schleffelin. however believing
that he was In a country where he was
likely to find the wealth for which he
was looking persisted In his prospect-
ing undergoing many privations and
in constant danger of losing hi 3
scalp.
His persistence was rewarded far be
yond his expectations for on the slope
of the Mule mountains about half way
between the summit and the bed of
Walnut gulch he discovered the out-
cropping of what proved in time to be
a great bed of ore which gave Tomb
stone its world-wide reputation. He
staked his claim and christened the
camp. Why he chose the name of
"Tombstone" no man seems to know.
It was probably but a freak Idea In-
duced by the fearsome surroundings
and the fact that the entire country Is
covered with enormous boulders which
might well mark tbe graves of tho dead
of a mighty city.

plays an Important art in the preven-

Heretofore It has been common prac-
tice in tooth powder holders to pro-
vide a receptacle which may be shaken
In the hand and a portion of the pow-
der dlseharged through a small orifice
or to support the holder upon a rixed
base and to discbarge the powder
through a bottom opening having a
gate or valve. . With both kinds of ap-
paratus it has been found difficult to
discharge the powder freely especial-
ly when it is composed of precipitated
chalk in a large measure this powder
having a tendency to pack In the hold-
er so as to be discharged through the
small aperture with difficulty. John
S. Sanger has designed a receptacle for
this purpose which has no shoulders

Sir Harry Johnston whese discovery
or a new species of animal in the
Uganda Protectorate has excited much
interest among naturalists brought
back to London and exhibited there
early this summer a specimen of
gigantic species of earthworm whlcb
when alive was about three feet long
and as thick as two fingers. Even
larger epecles of earthworms than
this exist. Ceylon has some giants
of a blue co.or that attain as great
a size. In Cape Colony and Natal
there is a species particolored green
above and yellowish beneath which.
It Is averred sometimes attains
length of six feet. Giant earthworms
are also found in Australia and South
America.
I MM IMHMM ST PAUL'S.
Much attention has been attracted
in England and some apprehension
aroused by (he discovery of cracks in
the walls of St. Paul's Cathedral. Ex
perts think that th? opening of un
derground railways and sewers In the
neighborhood of the great structure Is
responsible for the damage. One of
the suggested methods to secure th
safety of the cathedral at a cost of
about $1000000 is to underpin its
foundations by carrying them down
about 36 feet to the solid blue clay
which underlies London.

The remarkable fact that the earli-

of the modern whale bore heavy ar-

by the German paleontologist. Or. O.

U. 8. Consul Hughes at Coburg re
ports that the German navy and some
manufacturers are using a new fuel
called "naaut" an oily product from
German brown coal. The coast de-
fense vessels are fitted for the use of
this oil and some battleships and
cruisers are arranged so that they can
use both coal asd masut. Masut Is
said to have one-fourth greater heat-
producing power than coal and Is
easier tc handle as it Is necessary
only to open a valve in order to fill a
furnace.
A Vmw Telescopic Oan-Htgbt.
Sir Howard Grubb the celebrated
Irish telescope maker has invented a
new form of telescopic sight for use
with a rifle. Neither fore nor back
sight Is employed with this contriv
ance but the shooter. In taking aim
looked through a small lens which by
an optical device throws an image of
a bright little cross In front of the
gun and in line with the barrel. T..ln
Image serves as a foresight and by
simply holding the center of the cross
upon the object aimed at. tbe marks-
man takes his aim. The Invention li
shown at the Glasgow exhibition.
Alligator and Crocodile.
Alligators according to the late Pro
fessor Cope belong to a much more
modern genus than that of their cous-
ins the crocodiles. No undoubtedly ex-
tinct species of alligator has eve- been
discovered by geologists but those an-
Imsls are fast being exterminated st
the present day on account of tbe
vslue of their hides. Alligators are
round in China as well as in North
America! the crocodile exists la Af-
rica southern Asia and northern Aus-
tralia. The crocodile differs from the
alligator In preferring salt water to
fresh snd In being more vicious Id Its

"And so you sre a mind-reader.'
said the Interpreter of the law. "I
wonder If you can read my mind."
"Oh yes." replied the prisoner ap-
parently believing that a "bluff" would
serve his cause as well as anything.
"You are of a bright and cheerful
disposition. And I can see by tbe
merry twinkle In your mind that you
sre about to tell me to go home."

"Do you mean that you would take

fair girl murmured.
"Yes" he answered; "you have

"Revolver or rope?"
"Neither."
"Gas (hen or poison?"
He shook his auburn locks and
smiled at her battled air.
"What then would you do?"
