The summer vacation is the time when the American makes an exhibition of himself. To the St. Louis Fair he will send his invention, his manu facture, his piano, his picture but he carries his habits, his breeding, his opinions to the mountains or seashore to show the strange folk there what man-' ner of man he is.

But, oddly enough, we all are apt to carry with us on our vacation, be it three months or a week, certain mean, ignoble qualities which we keep hidden at home. We exploit them freely now. The most com mon of them is self-importance. Briggs, being a college profes sor, or a lucky Chicago speculat or, or a boy just out of college* surveys the other guests in the mountain or seaside resort and feels that he is a whale among minnows. There are sure to be some shrewd, intelligent men, some gentle, well-bred women among them that could give him useful ideas. Beyond, in every town and State, are legions of other men and womeneighty millions of themeach in the opinion of the angels of as much importance as Briggs. In every country around the world are teeming myriads when these are dead more myriads will rise, and so on for ages to come. After allwho is Briggs? But he wraps himself in haughty reserve he knows that lie is the Great and Only one. There are -Brigses at this mo ment in every summer resort, dull and miserable. Tlie world laughs at them and passes them by. The largest body of human pests, however, are the com plainers. All day long they find the coffee nauseous and the band out of tune: the eggs are cold storage, the butter is third class and the other guests no class at all. Why do we take these under bred, offensive habits abroad with us? We bring to these re sorts our best coats and gowns to make our bodies fine. Why not put into our souls and speech a little charity and kindness and common-sence?Saturday Even ins Post. BEASTS BORK IN CAPTIVITY. .Those That First Set the Light In Bristol, England, Ar the Best. The birth of a litter of lions at flaslemere Park, a private menagerie to England, leads one of the English papers to note a fact that has for long puzzled biologists, and that is notori ous among those who interest them selves in the study of wild beasts in captivity, this being that nearly all the lion, tiger and leopard cubs born in that country have a clert palate, which prevents them from being properly suckled, and usually leads to their premature death. But, beyond this, a more astonishing fact stilland one that also greatly pu/zles biologistsis that which determines that of all the wild animals born in England those born in Bristol are regarded as the finest and as the most likely to live. So well known is this to professional showmen and menagerie keepers that "Bristol born" is a recognized brand in *hf wild animal trar'o Lignite as Smokeless Fuel.

The condition of sale was that it should only delivered after the man's decease but when the transaction got abroad a great scandal was created. The professor, however, stuck to his bargain, and the big head applied itself to business. Fortune smiled on the latter he fell heir to a "big fortune, and then he began to feel uncomfortable at the thought that the head belonged to an other.

"Uncle Allen," asked the young man, "do you know anything that's good for a cold?" Mr. Allen Sparks opened his desk, took from one of the pigeonholes a large number of newspaper clippings tied with a string, and threw it over to him. "Do I know of anything that is good for a cold1?" he echoed. "My boy, 1 know of six hundred and twenty-seven infallible ways of curing -a cold. I've been collecting them for forty-nine years. You try these, one after the other, and if they don't do you any good, come back and I will give you one hundred and sixteen more. Bless me!" added Mr. Sparks with enthu siasm, you can always cure a cold if you go about it the right way."

Few of us can stand the loss of blood nec essary for their salubrity.Indianap olis News. Necklace Awaits an Owner. A strange story is told about a dia mond necklace which was. found at one of the English court balls some years ago. One of the late qtieen's ladies in-waiting picked up a diamond neck lace from the floor. A lady came for ward and claimed it Th= finder, how ever, declared it was her duty to give it in to the lord chamberlain's office, as this was the rule with regard to anything found in the palace. The lady protested in vain, but, the oddest thing was that this necldace never was claimed, and is probably still at the lord chamberlain's office. Hare as a Universal Provider. In the economy of nature the hare is the one creature that stands be tween moat of the carniv-orous animals and starvation. In the northern woods where snow lies on the ground for more than half the year, and where vegetation is of slow growth, the hare serves as a machine for converting birch twigs into muscular, lean meat, and providing it in such quantities that hawks, owls, wildcats, weasels and foxes can live in. comparative luxury. A pair of hares under favor able conditions produce 70.000 indi viduals in four years. Cats to Kill Prairie Dogs. The owners of an eaormous sheep ranch in Montana suffer so much loss from the consumption by prairie dogs of the tender shoots of grass, that they have determined to import cats enough to exterminate tlie dogs. The first company of 100 cals is being re- i cruited at St. Paul. A facetious writer i in the New York Pos^ shows anxiety for the future of the cats, their work being accomplished. He says if they do kill the prairie dogs they will have the choice, subsequently, of starva tion, cannibalism or brigandage. A Healthy Spot.
