Australia has always consoled her* 'self for her rainless spells by the be lief that beneath the continent lies a ,sea of frosh water which only needs to be tapped when it is wanted. Now I comes Professor Gregory, a noted ge* iologist, who has been measuring tha I wells and declares that there is no evidence that they are being replen ished and that the supply in each case is diminishing. He suggests that it is time to economize the wa ter, but Australia does not like the suggestion and refuses to believe for if he is right the schemes for reclaiming the great deserts of the interior must come to nothing. RANK RECOGNIZED. "Did your father show an appreci ation of my social position when yoa t«ld him we wished to marry?" asked Baron Fucash. "Yes," replied Miss Cumrox. "He was very much relieved to find it YOUR OWN LIFE A QUARRY1 Out ef It You Are to Mould and Chisel Character, Said the Poet Goethe. It was Goethe who said: "Life is a quarry." He does not mean the life outside of yourself. He means your own life, that separate part of Qod's universe over which he has set you as supreme master, king to rule the dominion. Goethe says that this life, your own life, his life, everybody's life, is a quarry. A quarry is a place where stone 1s gotten. The value of a quarry Is always in the quality of Its stone. Now life. If It be a quarry, is simply a place containing a something that is valued, unformed but with i skill may be wrought lntb what Is val uable. The stone from the quarry is chiselled Into form. A greater value comes from the chiselling of this stone. Michael Angelo's "Moses" Is witness of what a great artist may do with a chisel upon a block of marble. Really, then, If your own life is a quarry, you yourself must be the art ist, and out of the material of the quarry you are going to make what Is beautiful and worthful to the world. Let me complete tho entire quotation: "Life is a quarry out of which we are to mould and chisel and complete a character."—John T. McFarland. IS NOT FIT TO LIVE WITH The Genius Always Is an Impossible Creature Who Makes Family and Friends Wretched. One of the strangest signs ot the times Is our universal admiration for geniuses yet a genius, no matter how you view him, is always an impossible creature. He Isn't -fit to live with. If he Is so unfortunate as to marry, he makes life miserable for his family. If he doesn't marry, he is a care to all his friends. And the probability is that no one will appreciate him in his own age. Tet when we hear that juch and such a one is a genius, we experience an Instant feeling of envy. Most of us would like to be a genius, if we could have, along with it, our own steady traits. We wouldn't give up our regular income, but if we could be a genius with It, we should like It very well. Lombroso declare^ that geniuses are abnormal—degenerate types. Scien tists term them in biological words "sports"—that is, they are exceptions to a rule. They are supposed to see things straight, whereas everybody else Is abnormal. Bernard Shaw says that is what is the matter with him.— Thomas L. Masson in Llpplncott'a. Americans Globe Trotter*. There are many American girls who pride themselves on being globe trotters. A trip to Europe is insignifi cant to them they have been around the world so many times they speak of it as something not unusual. But they do take pride in knowing the art of traveling, of getting along without so many petty annoyances that almost give inexperienced travelers nervous prostration. They are sweet tempered and merry and never seem to be ruf fled by any unexpected circumstance. One of those experienced girls when asked why she got along so easily, re marked: "Well, I soon learned a few essential things and I never have any trouble. It is a mistake to travel In one's own hair. It always gets crum pled and straggling in the salt air, and so I always wear a few pin curls in the day and keep my own hair fresh for the evening. Furthermore, I always make it a point to tip the stewardess when I start on a voyage." Saved By Its Tick. The last thing the woman did was to put four rings in the clock on the mantel. "So thieves won't get them," she said. "I should think that would be Blmply inviting thieves to hm away with them," said her friend. "That Is a handsome clock, and thieves like clocks." "They do," said the woman, "but! they will never steal this clock. It ticks too loud. No wise thief will run away with a clock that goes like a thrashing machine. It isn't the alarm about his person that he is afraid of, for he can stop the clock, but the occupants of the flat are like ly to return before he gets safely away, and if a loud-ticking clock is gone they will miss It the minute they step inside the door, and maybe given him a hot chase for his 1 plunder." Bent By the Sun. The towering Washington taOHu ment, solid as it is, cannot resist the heat of the sun, poured on Its south ern side on a midsummer's day, with out a slight bending of the gigantic shaft which is rendered percepitlble by means of a copper wire, 174 feet long, hanging In the center of the structure, and carrying a pltimmet suspended In a vessel of water. At noon in summer the apex of the mon ument, 550 feet above the ground, is shifted, by expansion of the stone, a few hundredths of an inch toward the north. High winds cause perceptible motions of the plummet, and in still weather delicate vibrations of the crust of the earth, otherwise unper ceived, are registered by It. More Pressing. "Did you ever consider that old profc lem of where all the pins go?" "No, I am going to take up the so lution of "that problem as soon as I have learned where all the dollars go."—j&ouston Poet. jiiiem v.-. 1 v ,» ••'...•••. ...• f'. •.•••.. :\V .. V CALHOUN AT THE OCULISTS La Pollette's Story of the Darky Walt er Applied to Those Who Fear Reciprocity. United States Senator La Follette, discussing reciprocity, said with a smile: 'These fears are groundless. They are groundless to the point of being ludicrous. They remind me. in fact, of Calhoun Clay. "Calhoun Clay was a waiter at a side restaurant. The white glare of tbe sun-drenched beach Injured eyes, and he had to consult an oculist. the spectacles on his nose, he gave a great start and halted before a and extraordinary machine. "Calhoun stared in awe at this ma chine for some time. Then he said: •"Wha's dat, boss*' "That,' said the oculist solemnly, lis an ophthalmometer.' M'Sho',' iwua."* Coops In Fields for Babies. That necessity is the mother of In? ventlen is shown by the hundreds oi little buildings resembling chicken coops which are scattered over th« fields of Weld county to provide day time homes for the babies of the Rue slans who work in the fields. The Russian mothers are obliged to take their babies to the fields am) have built these little structures ol wood, covering them with canvas. A! noon and once In the morning and lq the afternoon the mothers visit thelt children, leaving them alone for th remainder of the day. The youngsters are apparently con tented and remain in their little coopi without a cry, gazing through the slats at the passersby.—Oreelef Got, Dmb ver Republican. For Extinguishing Oil. For extinguishing oil fires when water Is both ineffective and danger ous, frothy liquids have been recoro mended. In a late test near Hamburg a mixture of one quart each of caustl soda and alum solutions yielded II quarts of a yellowish-white foam, hav lng a density of 0.14, and this could be sucked up and distributed like wa ter by a hose. A basement of 30 square feet, filled with benzine to 20 inches was fired, and was extinguished in 71 seconds with 18 gallons of the froth] mixture, and a burning benzine tank, six feet in diameter and nine feet high, was extinguished in 13 seconds. Th« benxlne was little affected, burning ai usual after removal of the froth. Old Maine House. One of the oldest houses in Win throp is this old Morton stand oq "Turkey lane." The name may nol be familiar to (resent residents ol the town, but Turkey lane waB no dream to a past generation. Ita odd nomenclature is derived from the fact that prior to the wai all the residents of the highway ovei the crest of the ridge owned and raised turkeys and over 100 gobbler* each year gobbled their living here until a fateful Thanksgiving removed them from earth. The old Morton house stands just at the turn of the road and is about ISO years old.— Lewiston Journal. Amusing Typographical Errors. A double-barreled typographical er ror is related in Henry S. Harrison'* novel, "Queed." A southern paper re ferred to a spirited old major as "that immortal veterinary" and when it sought the next day to retrieve it self, at the major's insistent demand, the hateful words came out "Immoral veteran." An equally amusing error was made on the occasion of a char lty ball held In Buffalo. The society editor in describing the gowns of the women guests characterized one as having "iridescent trimmings." To her horror and surprise when she saw the article in print the dress was adorned with 'Indecent trim, mlngs." Another Discovery. "Shakespeare was one of the ablest ef brokers." "How do you make that out?" "By the number of stock quotations k)| turn! shed." u v t'" Date. muttered Calhoun, and he 1 backed farther away, his eyes still fixed upon the formidable instrument —'aho', dat's what Ah wuz afeared WHY CELEBRITIES ARE FEW Their Absence Permits the Imitation •wells to 8hake Hands In a Sane Manner. "Even if I didn't read the newspa pers I would know that there are not many strange celebrities in town 'now,'" said the young man with strong social instincts. "I could tell by the way the imltar tlon swells shake hands. Everybody .shakes hands now In a safe and sane manner. Not for weeks have my* fin gers been tweaked in freakish fashion. That Is because the shakers have met no one to set a bad example. "Peculiarities in a handshake are more contagious than fads in accent 01 clothes. Nearly, every person of im portance has his own way of grasping another's hand, and the small fry who ape their big brothers In everything else mighty soon copy that shake. In the busy social season when the big guns come and go pretty frequently the person of imitative habits will shake hands In a dosen different wayq in as many weeks." Mas. Temp. 81 It Wffft'H'?
