A BIT OF USEFUL ADVICE FOB
TINES OF TROUBLE.
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

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.

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
