BENEFICIAL. 7 = !;’l‘he Grand Rapids Independent has the following to say relative to |the imposing of the death penalty lon Munn and Mathieson and the setting of the dates by the governor for the executions: “Governor Johnson is loath, according to press reports, to set & date for the execution of the Bel- trami county murderers. If the governor only knew what a wide- spread effect for good the executions | would have in this north country, | he would hesitate not a minute, but hasten the date, that justice would not have a chance to miscarry. The governor’s contention that capital {punishment is a relic of barbaric ages may be all right, alright, but }the same might be said about shoot- {ing a fellow man in cold blood, and looks to us as though something more than a year or two or three in prison and then a pardon ought to be done to put a stop to the extremely careless use of life-des- troying implements in this great state.” The Lord will not lift the man who does not try to rise. Use the knowledge you have and you will have all you can use. One day’s charity is a poor balance for six days’ robbery. Folks need what is in your heart more than what is in your hand. It’s nothing but a cackling kind of piety that can be made witha tailor’s goose. Some folks think they have lots of grit because they know how to grind their neighbors. The man who is advertising for a wife says that the ‘“net proceeds” of his campaign so far are a house- keeper. That’s more than a lot of husbands have. A Testimonial For Veracity.’ “It's & moighty foine thing to have a character for truthfulness,” remarked 0’Grady when he returned home the other evening. “Indade an’ it is that same,” agreed Mrs. O’Grady, with an approving nod, as she hauled one child out of the fen- der and scraped the cinders off his . “An’ what makes ye say that, Phelim?” “'Cause me master belaves in me veracity Intolrely,” was the response of Phelim. He lighted his short pipe and took his accustomed seat on a broken chalr near the chimney. “I tould him this morning that I couldn’t belp being late an’ that I had run a molle in a minute an’ a half to_get there in toime. An’ what do ye think be sald?” “Mebbe that ye desarved another sixpence a week.” “Better than that. These are his very words. ‘O’Grady,’ ses he, ‘O1 wud Just as soon belave ye if ye sed ye had done it in half a minute’ So ye see what faith he has in me veraclty Intoirely.”—London Answers. Reading the Face. Restless eyes denote a deceitful, de- signing disposition; greenish eyes mean falsehood, malice and a love of scan- dal; blue eyes tell of tendency to co- quetry; black eyes mean a lively, spir- ited and sometimes deceitful charac- ter; eyes with a yellowish, bloodshot white usually betoken strong emotions and hot temper; gray eyes mean dig- nity and intelligence and brown eyes a tender, true, kind and happy nature. A mouth had better be too large than too small, for a very small, pursed up mouth is seldom significant of good conversational power. Large mouths are more often found in conjunction with llberal dispositions than very small ones. A person with a pointed chin is fanciful, refined in taste and difficult to please. A broad, square chin signifies ardent love, often accom- panled by jealomsy. A broad, round chin means ardent love, with a stead- fastness and purity of affection. When Did You Oil Your Watch? ‘When did you .oil your watch last? Never? You may remember when you lubricated your sewing machine, type- writer, lawn mower or grindstone— within a year, probably—but your watch you never olled, that you can remember. Yet in a perlod of eighteen months the balance wheel turns on its axis 18,996,800,000 times. Bxpert watchmakers say that a watch should be thoroughly cleaned and ofled ‘every elghteen months. Many persons wear 8 watch for years, winding it up each night, and never ofl it. Watches are instruments of uncertaln age; some run indefinitely, keeping accurate time, Without need of repairs. As a matter of fact, nothing is s0'neglected as this small, delicate and useful instrument. ~North American, ; Majoestic Webster. Theodore Parker gave the following graphic description of Danlel Webster in the famous three hour sermon preached soon after Webster's death: He was a man of large mold, a great body and a great brain, He seemed made to last a hundred years. Since Socrates there has seldom ‘been a head so massively large save the stormy features of Michael Angelo. Since Charlemagne 1 think there has not been such a grand figure in all Christendom. A large man, decorous In dress, dignified in deportment, he walked as if he felt himself a king. The coal heavers and porters of London looked on him as one of the great forces of the globe. They recognized & native king. In the senate of the Unlted States he looked an emperor in that council. Iven the majestic Cal- houn seemed common compared with him. Clay looked vulgar and Van Buren but a fox. What a mouth he had! It was a lion's mouth, yet there ‘was a sweet grandeur in the smile and a woman's softness when he would. What a brow it was! What eyes—like charconl fires in the bottom of a deep, dark well! His face was rugged with voleanie fires—great passions and great thoughts, “The front of Jove himself; an eye like Mars, to threaten and com- mand.” Came Near It. Wit and humor are such elemental, fundamental things that it has al, ways been found difficult to analyze them. Upon some points, however, those who have essayed this puzzling task agree, for they all hold that wit is an intellectual, humor an emotional, quallty; that wit is a perception of re- semblance and humor a perception of contrast, of discrepancy, of incongru- ity. The incongrulty is that which arises between the ideal and the fact, between theory and practice, between promise and performance, and perhaps it might be added that it is always or almost always a moral incongruity. In the case both of wit and humor there is also a pleasurable surprise, a gentle shock which accompanles our percep- tlon of the hitherto unsuspected re- semblance or incongruity, A New England farmer was once describing In the presence of a very humane per- son the great age and debility of a horse that he formerly owned and used. “You ought to have killed him,” interrupted the humane person indig- nantly. “Well,” drawled the farmer, “we did—almost.”—Atlantic. A Strenuous Statesman. In his “Eclipse and O'Kelly” Theo- dore Andrea Cook tells a story of the English statesman and sport Fox. He had wagered something about a waist. coat which could only be obtained in Parls; went off to Dover by night, caught the mail packet, posted to Pam Is and back to Calals, and remembered he had a horse racing at Newmarket. He chartered a fishing boat bound for the eastern counties, just got to New- market in time for the race, took the post back to London and stopped on the way to dine. In the middle of the port and dice after dinner he was caught by a special messenger who had been tearing over half of England in search of him and reminded that he had to move to Lring in a marriage bill in the house of commons. He rushed to the stables, reached the house in time to make a brilliant speech in re- ply to North and Burke and defeated North on a division by a single vote. The Bee’s Feet. Naturalists say that the feet of the common working bee exhibit the curi- ous combination of a basket, a brush and a palr of pinchers. The brush, the hairs of which are arranged In sym- metrical rows, is seen only with a high grade microscope. With this brush of falry delicacy the bee brushes its vel- vet robe to remove the pollen dust with which it becomes loaded while suck- ing up the nectar of flowers. Another delicate apparatus is the spoon shaped appendage that receives the gleanings that the bee wishes to carry to the hive. Finally, by opening the brush and the basket by means of a neat lit- tle hinge, the two become a pair of pinchers, which render important serv- ice In constructing the cells for the reception of the honey. Tinned Tongue. “Are you studying Esperanto, Mr. Idiot?” asked the linguist. “I am not,” said the idiot. “I can talk too much in English if I want to.” “It 1s a very fine Ignguage,” said the lnguist—*“condensed, concise and east- ly acquired.” “No doubt,” said the idiot. “But I don’t care for potted tongue.”—Broad- ‘way Magazine. The Other Captaln. - Captain (witheringly to private)—My friend, you ought to be eating hay. Are there any more like you in your family? Private—I have only one brother, sir. Captaln—Oh! And what 1s he? Private—Captaln, sir.—Bom VI- vant, His Act of Charity. Mrs. Henpeque—So you did an act of charlty to commemorate the twen- teth anniversary of our wedding. Mr, Henpeque—Yes; I refused a raise in galary to one of my clerks who wanted to get married. One Use For It. *“1 notice that you writers use a great deal of tobacco. Does it stimu- late your brains?’ “I don’t know, but it makes you for- get that you're hungry.—Cleveland Leader. The Bachelor's View. “What is the most aggrayating thing In married life?” asked Dorothy. “Sometimes,” sald the bachelor friend, “it's the husband, and some- | imes 1t's the wife.” 3 2 A Criterion. “What is a synonym?” asked a teach- eor. “Please, sir,” sald the lad, “it's a word you can use In place of another if you don’t know how to spell the oth- er one.—School Board Journal. Used Up. Digby—How long did it take you to learn to run a motor car? Skorcher— Oh, five or six. Digby—Five or six what—weeks? Skorcher— No; motor cars.~Catholic Standard and Times. A Hideous Dream. I had a horrible dream a few nights ago. 1 dreamed that I was the sub- | editor of a religions weekly. There 18 nothing dreadful in that, of course. The horrible part comes later, My editor, just off for a holiday—editors generally are, you know—instructed me to write to severa] people of emlnence and ask them to tell me thelr favorite prayer. (I record {his little story in all reverence, you understand.) Well, many of the eminent people replied, Including & lady novelist of great fame. The lady wrote: Dear Sir-—In reply to your esteemed fa- vor, I have much pleasure in informing you that my favorite prayer is, “Give us this day our daily bLread.” I placed {t at the head of the col- umn, put the paper to bed and went there myself, feeling pleased, Next morning when I opened my copy of the religious weekly I found that three letters had been dropped from the lady novelist's favorite prayer, which, to my constérnation, now read as follows: “Glve us this day our daily ad” I woke up screaming.—Keble Howard in Sketch. Classed as an Antique Also. A charming hostess of one of the “blg houses,” as they are called by those who are welcomed Into them, has the added beauty of prematurely | white hair, says the Washington Star. That which seems to her contempo- raries an added charm may appear to | the crudely young a mark of decline, at least so it appears In one instance of which the hostess herself tells with | enjoyment. The lady is a connolsseur of antlques, At one of her teas a debutante rich with the glow of youth, but sadly con- strained with her sense of her own cup was beautifully blue and wonder- fully old. The hostess, desiring to lighten the strain on her youthful guest by a pleasingly diverting re- mark, said, “That little cup Is 150 years old.” “Oh,” came the debutante’s high strained tones, “how careful you must be to have kept it so long!” Trades That Kill, One of the most dangerous of trades, according to the Pilgrim, “is the cover- Ing of toy animals with skin, chamois leather being used, for instance, for the elephants, calfskin for the horse and goatskin for the camels. This covering must of course fit without | en model is first dipped into glue, then sprinkled with chalk dust; then the skin is put on. The chalk is so fine that it fills the air and is drawn into the throat and lungs. A year of this sort of work often results in death. Another very injurious toy is the rub- ber balloon. The fumes and solvents used in reducing sheet rubber to the +| necessary thinness while retaining its strength and the dyeing of the bril- Hant yellows, greens and purple are most of them poisonous. A Swelled Head. A typical Englishwoman, when some one spoke the other day of a certain man having a “swelled head,” looked dazed. “Really! You don’t mean it!” cried the Englishwoman. “I’'m very sorry.” A day or so later the English- woman, happening to meet the wife of the man in. question, observed that she was so sorry to hear that Mr. Blank was ill. “But he isn't!” cried the wife. was never better in his life.”” “He man. “Why, what could Mrs. Dash have meant the other day when she said he was suffering from a swelled head?” His Narrow Escape. A jolly old steamboat captain ‘with more girth than height was asked if he had ever had any very narrow es- capes. “Yes,” he replied, his eyes twinkling, “once I fell off my. boat at the mouth |of Bear creek, and, although I'm an now If it hadn’t been for my crew. You see, the water was just deep enough so’s to be over my head when I tried to wade out, and just shallow enough”—he gave his body an ex- planatory pat—“so that whenever I tried to swim out I dragged bottom.” —Everybody’s. Horrible Example. “My dear,” said Mrs. Strongmind, “I want you to accompany me to the town hall tomorrow evening.” “What for?” querled the meek and' lowly other half of the combine. 3 “I'am to lecture on the ‘Dark. Side of Married Life”” explained Mrs. 8., “and I want you to sit on the platform and pose as one of the {llustrations.”— Chicago News. A Financial Pessimist. Gaye—Yes, he s what you might term a financial pessimist. Myers— What’s a financial pessimist? Gaye— A man who is afrald to look pleasant for fear his friends will want to bor- row something, Accidental. Alice—How did you come to meet! your second husband, Grace? Grace— It was ‘purely accidental. He ran over my first one with a motor car .| and afterward attended the funeral.

He was very dead, but I did want to khow how he met his untimely end and after Inquir- Ing learned that he had been run over by a ‘splegelscheibentransportwagen.’ I could readily understand how that would have killed even an elephant and wanted to know why the infarngl machlne had been allowed to come iny to the city.

Poor little dachs!” 1 The Sheik and His House. ‘When the French came into contact with the Bedouln in Algeria, it was thought that a ready way of civilizing bim would be to assist him to build himself a permanent habitation. A shelk who was thus favored was full of gratitude to the French engineers who had built him a house. “Since my house was finished,” he sald, “I have not lost a single sheep. I Jock them up in my house every night, and next morning I find them \all In safety.” 0 “Then where do you sleep yourself?” asked an officer in amazement. “Oh, for myself, a sheik can llve only in his tent!” said the other, with dignity. Blond Indians. One of the mysteries of Mexico is presented by the Maya Indians, who inhabit the Sierra Madre mountains in the lower part of Sonora. They have fair skins, blue eyes and light hair, and students of ethnology have always been puzzled to account for them. There is a tradition, however, that these Indians are the descendants of the crew and passengers of a Swedish vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast centuries before Columbus discovered the new world. But this tradition is founded on nothing more substantial | than a folklore tale current among them that their ancestors came over the big salt water hundreds of moons ago. A Frog of Peculiar Habits. South America has a frog of peculiar habits. Dwelling in the virgin forests, at the tops of the highest trees, it chooses as a site for its nursery some hollow stump and then proceeds to ! line it with resin procured from trees In the neighborhood. This lining serves to catch and hold the rainwater, with {which it quickly becomes filled. As soon as this takes place the eggs are laid therein, and here they undergo de- velopment into tadpoles. How the re- sin is collected is a mystery, nor is it yet known how the separate pieces be- come welded to form the water tight basin necessary to insure the safety of the treasures deposited therein.
