THE DEMOCRATIC MESSENGER, SNOW HILL. MA 1— ■ Something to Think About * By F. A. IVALKER HUMAN NATURE TIIKHK is one lion st that is pro tty Hourly imlvorsul. You probably never mot a man or a woman who, If oo nisioti pivo oppurt unity, woubi not any with eniishlcruble show of pride, “Well, I know human nnturc." They mean when they say It thut they think they can solve the causes of human action, that they can ac curately point out the whys ami wherefores that Inlluemv our relations one with another, our acts and our at titudes, Frequently these readers of human nature will ascribe a questionable motive for any kind of an net, good, tiad or Indifferent. They would have you think that the ehlef foree at work In the world is evil, the commanding passion selfishness. It isn't true. There Is a good deal of good in the world. Tile great majority of people are animated and Intluenccd by high motives and splendid desires. The really bad man or woman Is the exception. • • • Human nature as a whole Is of a kind tiiat really makes life worth liv ing. Klihu Burritt, the learned black smith, wrote down this wisdom: “No human being can come Into this world without increasing or diminishing the sum total of human happiness," After all, the most of our lives und the most of our endeavors are to help in tin* general scheme of tilings. The corner grocer may be cross and surly sometimes, but If you only knew it he sent a basket tilled with tilings good to eat to the woman down the street whose husband is sick In the hospital. Human nature In bis case Is dominated by good. And as It Is with the grocer so It Is with the butcher, the baker ami the (nmlle-stick maker, with the minister and tlie sinner, with everybody. • • • It Is u splendid thing, u helpful tiling, to seek the good side of people, to find out their (tetter qualities and encourage them. There Is some had In the best of us. There Is a lot of good In the worst of us. Human nature is very much like a garden. In it we plant seeds. Some sprout and grow Into splendid dowering plants that give everybody pleasure. Some come up useless weeds. If we plant kindness nml charity and love, the garden will lie worth-while. If we plant envy and greed and malice ami hatred ami Jealousy, it will not prove a source of much Joy to any body. Nobody can plant or tend the garden hut you. Nobody can take from you the credit for the dowers ami you can not shift to another the hlntne for the growths that are worthless. • • • Try to know the good side of human nature. Try to cultivate It anti en courage It. If a motive Is In question give If the belietlt of the doubt and believe It was good until It Is proven to he had. It Bays In the hook of Cenesls that when the Creator considered his work He pronounced that “If was good." Unless there is a greater power than the Creator It must have remained go< id. Anyhow, It Is sort of satisfying to believe that Hood Is more powerful than Kvll ami unless we have to change, let us keep on thinking so. (Copyright.) Hdw ftgstarted k Ji^i EXPLOSIVES.

ANITA '-tsIIH lovely Spanish favorite Anna 1 has won almost as prominent u place among the feminine names of our country as the equally exotic Juanita which followed the song of that title. Anita, however, Is much more redolent of North America than its prototype. For Anita, signifying grace, has an origin parallel with Anne. About the time that the mother of Samuel was recorded In Ittblleat chronicles as the original lluntmh. tin* etymological way was being paved for the entrance of Anita through the 1 gateway of Spain. Byzantium. that kingdom of royal splendor, paid horn- , age to a St. Arum who Is thought to he a flare-buck to the great Itoumn deity. The daughter of Kmperor Basil, call ing herself Anna, married Grand I'rlnce of Muscovy and carried the name Into Russia, where It was sub jected to the Slavic Influence and Is sued forth in various forms of diminu tive* and endearment*, one being the pretty Amur, which still has vogue there. The susceptibility of the name to the influence of all tongues prnh- j ably brought it to the attention of soft-syllabled Spain, who adopted It, cut off the “r” and changed the "m" ' to "n" for euphony's sake, making the I charming Ana, which tins great popu larity there. But Spain no sooner adopts a name than It must have u diminutive, after the Tallin fashion — 1 hence Anita. Italy took Anita aud called her Nlnetta. which was later subjected to a diminutive process nml Issued forth as Xnnna. Anita's tnllsiminle gem is the rat's eye. which tins greater mystic quali ties than those of any other Jewel. It has the power of hypnotism and I* said to he a charm against evil splr* its.
