IT IS A SIN TO ALWAYS GRUMBLE. We ave Much to Be Thankful For, and Should Try to Be Contest, Says William. The best thing for a man or a wo man to do in these troublous times is to try to be content with our situation and surroundings. Good Lord, what a sight of time is wasted in longing for what we haven't got and in appre hending trouble that may never comel Ambition for fame or wealth or power is a mistake. It is worse-it is a sin, for it is founded in selfishness. Burke tried them all and acquired them all and deserved them all, and yet in his old age he said, in a letter to a friend: "Solomon was right, for they are all vanity. My time is nearly out and-I would rather sleep in the corner of a little country churchyard than in the tomb of the Capulets." I was ruminating about this because a Singer sewing machine agent visited my house today and when he found we didn't want another machine he sat in the veranda and we talked about the war and about the beautiful region and the lovely weather and about inventions and progress and the restlessness and discontent of the people. He was a philosopher and had traveled. We agreed that if a man was making a fair living here he ought to be not only contented, but thankful and happy. "This is the most attractive part of Georgia," said he, "and I have not found a region so signally blessed, and yet your people do not seem to know it or to appreci ate their good fortune." That is true. What a good idea it would be for a man to keep a debtor and credit account with his Maker and charge himself with every good thing -his health and strength, his sun shine and shower, the pure air and the trees and fruits and flowers, the pictur esque views of hills and valleys, the fast flowing streams, the songs of the birds and the music that cheers the hearth and home. Then there is the daily greetings and meetings with kind neighbors and friends and the merry voices of the children and the peaceful, inviting sound of the Sab bath bells--and the blessed privilege of worshippizg God according to our conscience, with none to molest or make us afraid. Then there is the daily morning prayer that is daily answered. "Give us this day our daily biead," and He gives it, for we have neither tramps nor beggars to affliot us and nobody suffers for bread or the necessaries of life. Above all, we have peace within our borders, and Pope says that, "All the joys of reason and of sense lie in three words-health, peace and competence." Good graci ousl what a debtor account we could run up against ourselves, and every item would be God-given. Well, of course, there weuld be some things to put down on the other side-such as sickness, a death in the family, or some afflicted child, or what is worse, some son or daughter who has disappointed our hopes or brought grief to broken hearts. But most of these things are not chargeable to God, but rather to our own imprudence or lack of duty. Fire and storm and pestilence come through His laws, but they rarely come. There " is more sueshise than cloud in our life if we only look at it right, for we are the most helpless creatures on earth, and a helpless man ought to be thankful for everything he gets. We don't know where we came from nor where we are going nor when we will have to go, and yet we see folks strutting around and swelling up with consequence.. The best wayis tooarr7 our sunshine along with us and divide with our neighbors, and if they have got any to spare let us get a little of theirs and mix it. Heard a fat woman say at a picnic: "Needent bother about a uonshion for me; I always carry mine along with me." That's a good ides. I can pick outs a dozen men in this town who carry sunshine, and you are glad to meet them. There are many more who carry dlouds and still many more who don't carry anything. It has been forty years since old Uncle hilly liangh died, and I still treasure his memory, for he carried sunshine everywhere he went and never com plained. If he couldn't sell his water melons he gave them away. He raised the best in the world, at least it seems so to me now--a small, long, white, thin rind melon with red meat and white se~ds. He peddled them around town. and like old General Bethune of Columbus, talked to the pretty women and looked at them through his spec tacles. If they dident wish to bay, he would say:. "'Well, I would like to give you one if you will come after it." But it tvocldent do to send a servant. He said he wanted the sweet and pret ty women to come .idh enough for his old eyoed to nee them good, and so they generally accepted the compliment and went. My wife, she always went. "When is it gcing to rain, Unele Billy?" "You'll know by waiting," he would reply. I think of that nowadays when anybody asks me what will be the ontoome of this old war. '"You'll know by wailting;" and the days are all coming this way. But the eager peo ple don't want to wait. Aunt Ann,oar old Guinea African pook, casme up this morning wild with excitement. She .Ieelared.that two trains went unp the road "'bout Eayb -oak di mornin' all loraded down wid 400 dead soldier earryin' em to Chatnootggy to bhUy 'em. Dey just killed in de fast battle aod hadn't been put in no eoda. Blood runnin' from 'em through de Boos ~ears je' like hogs. Dat's what.d tells me."" We ae having birthdays and ot episodes at our houe nosrs d is these weaft ea war. and we managed to eab them and coop them, and so we had a couple for the dining. They were rouan and fat and beautifully roasted. There were twelve good lady women or womanly ladies at the table besides my wife and one man. I was that man. The prophet Isaiah tells us of a time coming when seven women shall take hold of one man, but there were thirteen after me, and I felt as meek as Moses and as humble as a dead In dian. I got along pretty well, though, considering age and infirmity, and stood by my colors until the strawber ries and ice cream were served, which was, I believe, the fourth or the fifth oourse, and then I heard the door-bell ring, or thought I did, and left the festive board. These swell dinings are hard upon me, and upon the children. Two dear little granddaughters had waited and waited and peeped through the crack of the door a dozen times, and when I went out one of them said, "Grandpa, ain't they done yet?" It reminded me of the old Scotchman who got tired of waiting for his wife to come home from meeting-so he went after her-and, as she was near the door, he tiptoed in and whis pered, "Ain't he doon yit?" "Yes," said she, "he'be doon some time, but he won't quit." My old friend, Eu gene Harris, says he has watched the Methodist preachers at his mother's house during quarterly meetings watched them through the crack of the door until they had eaten the last giz zard in the dish, and then they would sit and sot over their coffee for half an hour, and at last get up and say amen and amen and pat their stomachs and go, and then, and not till then, did we boys get a chance at what little was left. And our little orphan grandchild had a birthday yesterday. She rose up to nine years and gave a little out door party to her little cousins. Ev erything i.as home-made, and it was nice, and I was invited and enjoyed the cake and ice cream and strawber ries as much as they did. And she got some nice little presents from home and abroad, and I believe that if I had my way she should stay as young and pretty and happy and innocent as she is now all the rest of her days. But I reckon that couldn't be did-could it? -BILL An in Atlanta Constitution. In the days of old he would have rushed to his fate blindly, says the Burlington (Iowa) Hawkeye, but the new woman has made the new man somewhat more cautious than he used to be in the old days. She could see by the way he fidget ed around in his chair that he made up his mind to come to the point that evening, but desired to look a little way into the future first. "Sary," he said, abruptly, after a rather painful silence, "hey ye any bloomers?" "Nary bloom," she replied, prompt ly. "Ever expect to get any?" he per sisted. "I never had no hankerin' fer pants," she retorted. "Sorter reckon that yer husband kin look arter everythin' in the pants line, do ye?" "I wouldn't have a man that couldn't." "Course ye wouldn't," he said, thoughtfully, and then he pondered the matter for a few minutes before continuing. "Hey ye any idee thet ye know more about politics than me?" he in quired at last. "What d'ye s'pose I know 'bout politics?" sheretorted. "D'ye reckon there's any politics in the cook book?" He nodded his head approvingly. "I rather like the way ye talk," he said "but ye don't seem to be up to the ~imes. Most o' the wimmin now adays wants to do all the votin' and all the talkin'." "'Tain't my style," she returned. "D've think," he asked, beooming more earnest than ever before, " thet I know my own bus'ness better'n you kin tell it to me?" "I wouldn't have ye sparlin' round here ef ye didn't," she answered shortly. "That settles itl" he exclaimed, joyfully. "Will ye marry me?" And so the matter was settled. Interviewed the Deptist. A girl employed in one of the large laundries in town found her teeth in a rather deplorable condition a while ago and decided to have a false setpof molars. She gave her order to a defitist, and when they were finished he promised to send them to the laundry. In the meantime, one of the men at work about the laundry learned of her predicament and decided to play a joke upon her. While cleaning out an ash barrel be discovered an old seMt of false teeth which he brushed up and wrapped in a piece of paper. Ho then hired amessenger boy to de liver the package to the girl person. ally. The set was evidently too large, for when the girl came down to the laun dry the next day she looked like a fe male chimpanzee. Her mouth was stretched all out of proportion. She took them back to the dentist, and it would be worth $7.63 to knotr what she said, inwardly and outwardly, af tar a petonal confab with the dentist. -Portland Express. The Ways of Childhood. Great are the tribulations of moth erhood. A member of the Mothers' Oongre~ was asked by her good little six-yea-old to lend him her large aoi* sore. They weren't convenient at the time, and, against his protest that he couldn't use the little things, she gave him her small emaroidery soisors. The next day when she wanted them sh6 asked for them, and he, turning very red, left the room. In ten min atee he returned sad gave her ona or are fragments of the original article. He said ain explanation: "I told you I eoulda't pre the little ones,that I wanted the'bigones, 6ut yeou weuldn't listen te me. We" were playig baak robberad I was thapobber." WORtO OF WISOW uilt arms shadows with spe. EThe fOme of devotion is kindled be altar of;prayer. The best secret keeper is the one that does not know it. Leisure hours are the best or the worst part of our lives. No fraud is more wicked than sheating in a love game. Hope is the antomatic feeder in the human threshing machine. It is as easy to impose upon a child once as it is diflicult to do it a second time. Idle men are more burdened with their time than the most busy are with their business. Set no standard for others-they may live nearer to the light they have received than you do. Time is always tooled away, when we try to build towers of our own from which to get into heaven. A man who does not know how to learn from his mistakes turns the best schoolmaster out of his life. Do not try to drive some undesira ble topic from your mind, but crowd it out with something better. Be patient with every one, but above all with yourself. Do not be disturbed because of your imperfec tions, and always rise up bravely from a fall. Reverence is the soul of religion. When that is gone, there is little left with which God can be pleased. Where nothing is sacred, everything becomes common, even God himself. Desaress. Among the few ear troubles that may be fittingly spoken of in this journal comes, first and foremost, that greatest of all ear troubles-deafness. And deafness arises from a niumber of causes, only one or two of which can be indicated in this paper. A leading aural surgeon states that numbers of people travel hundreds and thousands of miles to consult him about deaf ness wvhi-h is entirely due to a collec tion of wax in theears, which is easily and safely removable with a syringe and warm wafer. This experience is fully borne out in that of other prac titioners and patients who come to us in great concern about their deafness are sent away perfectly satisfied and comforted by the application of some softening pmaterial to the wax and the removal of the softened mass by care ful syringing. This leads to another cause of deaf ness-a sore and congested throat, and enlarged tonsils, quinsy, etc. The deafness that not infrequently ao companies a cold is in many cases traceable to the blocking of these little tubes, which convey air and sound to the ear. Hence a gargle of alum water with a little cayenne pepper, may relieve this form of deaf ness by improving the condition of the throat; or a wet bandage round the throat, covered in turn by gutta percha tissue or flannel; or a linseed poultice may cure the same condition; and in cuases of chronically relaxed throats, with accompanying deafnesas, the cold douche to the throat is in valuable, if systematically used; and a chlorate of potash or carbolic acid lozenge, eaten occasionally, will also be beneficial. Cobalt mKie Eicher Than a Gold O.e. A cobalt mine is more desirable than the richest golden bonanza of all of the Bocky Mountains, qpd cobalt has been discovered at Grand Encampment,Wyoming, bythe French mineralogist, Charles Poulot. Cobalt is worth $1.60 a pound, and George Doane, the copper king of the Grand Encampment district, has a mine where thousaids of tons of this ore are already in sight. Cobait is the active principle that colors blue all porcelain and glass. It is the active principle of blue in oil .and water painting. It is one of the rarest minerals; Norway, Sweden, and Bohemia have in the puast furnished the bulk of the world's supply. The Doape mine yields $18 to the ton in cobalt. This is only one among hundreds of copper mines at Grant Encampment, and if they all contain cobalt Wyoming's new mining distriot within a year may be producing more wealth than any three mining districts in the world, not excepting Klondike, the Transvaal, and Cripple Creek. If cobalt exists in the Grand Enoamp ment copper ore to the extent that M. Poulot asserts from his chemical an alysis of the Done ore Grand En campment will add to the mineral wealth of the world $100,000,000 an nually or else the price of cobalt will be reduced to a minimum.-New York Times. odd iaoo .
