familiar story.
Prom the biography of a failure:
By careful attention to his own busi
ness he gained a competency and
8tood high in the esteem of his fel
low citizens. Persuaded by hia
friends he made the race for congres
sional honors, but was defeated. He
next yielded to the earnest solicitation
of his friends and ran for the legisla
ture, but did not win. Afterwards ha
was at intervals urged by his many
friends to become in rotation a candi
date for sheriff, constable, town mar
Bhai, night watch and dogpelter, and
was each time knifed at the polls by
fiends in human form. Somewhere
along the line he became a liar, dei.-J-beat,
petty swindler and common
drunkard, and one mornhg last week
he was found dead out Behind '.be liv
ery stable. Kansas City Stai.
Easily Digested.
According to careful laboratory ex
periments, white flour is more easily
digested, but whole wheat and gra
ham flour have a greater amount of.
protein. White flour yields 1,150 calor
ies. The best bread flour is that
which takes the greatest amount of
moisture and the best pastry flour
that which takes the least.
All Seek Man of Efficiency.
If a man can make a better book,
preach a better sermon or make a bet
ter mouse trap than his neighbor,
though he build his house in the
woods, the world will make a beaten
pathway to his door. Emerson.
Cultivate Your Talent.
One little talent on which you con
centrate your energies, generally
means far more in a practical way
than the half-dozen gifts which divide
your attention among them. For prac
tical purposes it is easy to be toe
highly endowed. One talent with all
the energy of your nature back of it,
will put you in a place where you will
not need to envy anvone.

If You Do Not Sleep Well.
Should you be a restless sleeper
should sleep come to you only at fits
and starts, try simple remedies, and
ao not plunge into narcotics or stimu
lants a', least not until the others
have failed. A famous English phys
cían is quoted as saying. 1 can cure
the worst case of insomnia in this
manner: When the patient has re
tired, give her a heaping bowl ol
bread and milk, with just a dash o!
salt to season it. This will draw the
blood from the head to the stomach
it will quiet the nerves and put the
entire oody in a healthy glow, and in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
the patient falls into a healthy, rest
ful sleep." Another tasty dose to take
which will induce sleep is a cold or
ange just before retiring. There are
certain sedative as well as stimu
lating qualities in an orange, and it
is probably one of the most effica
cious fruits that can be taken tor this
purpose.
Neglected Duty.
There is one duty that human be
ings conspicuously neglect. It is a
tremendously important duty. And it
Is also, for most human beings, the
most attractive duty in the world.
Nevertheless, in spite of its attract
iveness and its importance, it is sel
dom spoken of. There are millions of
people who don't recognize it as a
duty. So they neglect to strive for it.
Then they wonder why they have not
achieved the duty. Sometimes they
complain, bitterJy. Occasionally, by a
chance, they do achieve the duty with
out recognizing it as a duty. Then
they neglect it, and they suffer for the
rest of their lives. Surely you know
what the duty is. It is simply the
duty of being happy. New York Tel
egram. Poor Kind of Sympathy.
Sympathy that begins and ends In
lip service is of little help to any of

Home Influences.
The value of a home that is a real
home is priceless, writes a Farm and
Fireside contributor. To say that ear
ly environment figures largely in mold
ing the character is putting it very
mildly, as I know from personal ex
perience, both as a child and a parent.
Home environment actually makes the
child what he or she will be in the
future.
To Remove Mildew From Linen.
Mix soft soap and powdered starch,
half as much salt, and juice of one
lemon. Rub the linen well in this so
lution and let lie on the grass for a
day and night. This treatment will
remove mildew stains without harm
ing the finest linen.
Peculiar Table Dainties.
In the West Indies a -arge caterpil
lar, found on the paltt tree, is en
teemed a table dolica-y, while the
edible nests of Java swallows are so
rich and dainty that the ingredients
of a dish will cost as much as 175.
Why Harsh Words Hurt.
Most people seem to feel hard words
more than hard deeds, and are more
upset by insults than by actual in
juries. What we do to an enemy in
war is done from necessity, but the
evil we say of him seems to arise
from an excess of spite. Plutarch.
What He Thinks Remarkable.
"Do you think there is anything re
markable in love at first sight?" asked
the romantic youth. "Not at all!" an
swered the cynic. "It's when people
have been looking at each other for
four or five years that it becomes re
markable.'' Pearson's Weekly.
Optimistic Thought.
The wise man does nothing for the
purpose of being well thought of, but
practices virtue for its own sake.

St. Johns Observer.
Cold Light.
Rare atmospheric gas known s.i
neon, which was first isolated in 18r'S
i by fractional distillation of liquid air,
is now used successfully in electric
! lighting. If a mild electric current
I passes through a tube that contains
a minute quantity of neon, it pro
duces a golden light that is soft and
i agreeable to the eyes, and makes the
object it illumines stand out with re
; maskable sharpness. The neon tubes
' require less current than the mercury-
vapor lamp 'and give out less heat
than any other form of electric light.
Moreover, the electric current disinte
grates the new gas very slowly; the
tubes will produce light for from eight
hundred to a thousand hours without
being renewed. Recently four neon
tubes, nearly 120 feet long, were suc
cessfully used to light an exhibit at
the Grand Palais in Paris.
Derivation of "Canon."
The word "canop" is Greek for
"rule," and is itself derived from
"canna," a reed, which was selected
by carpenters on account of its
straightness. Hence from a measur
ing rule, it became a figurative rule
for measuring and regulating church
doctrines.
Shakespeare's Legs.
There is no authority for the opinion
that Shakespeare had one of his legs
broken in a drunken brawl outside of
a sonnet written by Marlowe, himself
a brilliant debauchee and notor'ous
liar. Apart from Marlowe's dia
tribe, there is nothing to show that
the great dramatist had a broken or
deformed leg.
Pragmatist's Belief.
The pragmatist believes that wo live
in a world capable of improvement
but his immediate outicok seems tc
be upon a pluralistic collection ol
loose ends, which may perhaps some
time be gathered up into a fair em
broidery, but of which we have no real
certainty and of which we have no pat
tern. The spiritual idealist, on the
other hand, is working upon a remedí
able, incomplete world with i cleat
consciousness that lie is striving for
an ultimate spiritual unity in which
the world will be cleansed and com
pleted. His is an idealism in the mak
ing, an idealism which by His own
work he can help to realize.
What Made Him Laugh.
"What are you laiighinj- at?" "I was
Just thinking of my poverty." "Well,
what is there in poverty to make you
laugh?" "It just struck me that if I
should by chance strike it right some
day how many thousands there are
who could honestly say they knew me
when I didn't have a dollar." Detroit
Free Press.
Did It, Even Thsn?
No doubt the weather forecaster of
Noah's day sputtered something about
"a deficiency in precipitation'' as he
went down for the third time.
