Keep your eye on Gildner's win dows for new wear ables. HOUSE MOVING H. C. Trumblee Manchester Phone on 7 Public Morality. I have not the slightest regard for that statesmanship which is divorced from the morality which we say ought to guide us in our private life, which we gather for a nation as for individ uals from the religion we profess. Time, persistent labor, fidelity to the great principles which we hold and .believe in, will give us the victory over existing evils.—John Bright. Good Opportunity to Learn. If you are married you will have just as much time as if you were sin gle—if you know how to find it. Your wife will give you plenty of time wait ing for her. Don't fret and fume dur ing this interim—read. I have known men to pick up a liberal education reading while waiting for their wives to go out. Go Blundering On. The whole universe goes blundering on, but surely arrives. Collisions and dispersions in the heavens above and failure and destruction among living things on the earth below, yet here we all are in a world good to be in! It is as if the creator played his right band against his left—what one loses the other gains.—John Burroughs. To Kill Limburger Scent. A Pennsylvania cheesemaker is au thority for the statement that it is the outside of limburger cheesp that smells objectionably—that if this part is cut off in chunks, sliced and given a few seconds' immersion in hot water the smell will be destroyed, leaving the taste unimpaired. The inside of the cheese, he says, needs no treatment. Peat Bogs. Peat is a vegetable formation, some times of a spongy character (when recent), and again of a kind approxi mating in composition to wood, while in some instances, at the bottom of bogs, it approaches lignite and even coal. Immune From Appendicitis. The famous surgeon afid traveler, Dr. Nicholas. Senn, while visiting the hospitals and towns on the African East coaSt, was informed by the phy sicians he met that they had never come across a case of appendicitis among the black natives who ljve mainly on fruit and vegetables. Doc tor Palier also found the same ex perience among the Brahmins of In dia, who are strict vegetarians. A Comfort. A certain poor woman had received some new underclothes from one who had helped the family. The woman's husband thanked the donor's husband, and a whole drama of humble ambi tions might be built round his words. "Mary's mighty glad to have those clothes," he said. "She says now she'll have something to hang out on the line Mondays."—Boston Recordi Eccentric Will Overruled. An eccentric will has been declared void on the grounds 'that its provi sions' had neither reason nor public sentiment in their favor. The eccen tric will was made by Miss Catherine MacCaig of Oban, and was overturned in thfe court of session, Edinburgh. By her direction eleven' bronze stat ues of her father, mother, brothers and sisters were to be' erected at Oban Hill at a cost of $5,000 each. Wanted Information. Little Margaret was bright and ht/r proud parents accorded her the priv ilege of answering the phone when it rang. Margaret answered the phone one day and was asked by the party at the other end of the wire to call her big brother Will to the phone. Margaret knew that Will was sleep ing upstairs and she did not wish to disturb him needlessly, so she asked: "Is it anything very particuable?" Save Baby From Gorilla. According to Doctor Livingstons, the gorilla sometimes picks up a ne gro baby and carries it about. The natives rescue it in rather an ingen ious way. They place a large bunch of bananas in the way of the gorilla, which seizes them with both hands and lets the baby drop. Had the baby been one of its own kind it would have clung to its nurse. But, being a hu man baby, it naturally falls, so thai the rescuers can drive away the ani mal and carry off their prize. Just V/hat Did He Mean? Judge—"What was the cause of the rumpus?" Policeman—"Well, you see, judge, this man here and that woman there are married—" Judge—"Yes, yes, I know but what was the other cause ?"—Boston Transcript. Helped by Mother Nature. Among the beggar children of south ern Italy there is rarely one who looks ill-fed. Though food is scarce, the sunshine and their life in the open air do much toward nourishing their bodies.—Argus. Term Originated by Fox. The word "Radical," as applied to ft British political party, originated in a speech made by Charles J. Fox, in 1797, when he referred to the neces sity for-"radical reform." Supply of Oil Assured. An oil bed in northern Alberta. Canada, is estimated by a British geologist to contain enough oil to sat isfy the world's demand at the exist ing rate for some two thousand years. Proper Strivings. Patience and strength are what we need an earnest use of what we have now and all the time ah earnest dis content until we come to what we ought to be.—Phillips Brooks. Some' Difference. Floyd and Walter had just come home from school. Walter, the young est, said to Floyd: "We got two dead birds in our room." Floyd replied: "That ain't nothing, we have lots of them. They ain't dead, them's stuffed." sawed-Off Sermon. Getting into heaven doesn't worry the average man as much as trying to keep out of the other place.—Indian apolis Star. In Its Highest Form.

Life has been good to me, and as I look back upon it no one thing seems more precious than the thought that I have been much trusted with deep things in the lives of other men and women. Next to living great things for one's self (we learn by and by to put that aside) it is wonderful to be lived through. It is wonderful to know a human soul and ask noth ing of it save its utter confidence.— From "Hempfield" by David -Grayson in the American Magazine. Just Like a Boy. The teacher was having an inter esting half hour with the children, asking them questions, anyone having the privilege to answer. It was a great time to show off. The teacher asked about various things, and one question was about locusts. Several hands were raised, and finally one boy was selected to speak.. "A locust is a bug that gives people tuberculosis," was his answer. No Demand. Once upon a time a man invented glasses with which people could see their own faults.

Penny Wise and Pound Foolish Hard times make every woman look to see where she can save money, which, of course, is sen sible and proper if not carried too far. In the case of food it would be foolish to attempt to substitute sawdust for a breakfast food because it is cheaper. Everyone knows sawdust has no food value and its use would be a positive detriment to the health. Alum baking powders may cost a little less than cream of tartar powders like Royal, but many of the highest food authorities both in this country and abroad have declared them to be injurious and not safe to use. To attempt to cut the cost of living by using low-grade alum powders is unwise economy. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. New York Wall Street Lasi Matin, Manchester. lfl.
