"WHAT TERRIBLE CURSE “DRINK” There is no man whose condition is ®o pitiable as the slave to the liguor habit. Excessive indulgence in drink stroys his reputation, undermines is health,~paralyzes his intellect, viti- ates his morals and ultimately makes him an object of loathing and con- tempt. His friends forsake him. He dbrings sorrow and disgrace upon every- one connected with him and drags his ' family down to misery and poverty. To wet drink he squanders the mo! with which he should supply them. the end. his chkildren are in rags and dependent upon charity, and his sor- Mrs. Julilet Murray Lang. rowing wife, old before her time, is con- demned to a life of unremitting toil, to give prives the husband of both the in- clination and capacity to supply.

Have you never felt the marvelous power of beauty in nature? If not you have missed one of the most exquisite joys in life, says Orison Swett Marden {in Success Magazine. [ was once go- {ing through the Yosemite valley, and after riding 100 miles in a stagecoach |over rough mountain roads ‘1 was so completely exhausted that,it did:not seem hs though I could keep my seat | while we traveled over the ten more | miles which would bring us to our des- tination. But on looking down from the top of the mountain 1 caught a glimpse of the celebrated Yosemite falls and the surrounding scenery just as the sun broke through the clouds, and there was revealed a picture of such rare beauty and marvelous pie- turesquerness that every particle of fa- tigue, brain fag and muscle weariness departed in an instant. My whole soul thrilled with a winged sense 'of sub- limity, grandeur and beauty, which I had never experienced before and { which I can never forget. I felt a spiritual uplift which brought tears ’of joy to my eyes. | Napoleon Obeyed the Mob. | In “The Corsican—A Diary of Na- | poleon’s Life In His Own Words.” Bonaparte tells how, as an obscure sol- dier, he witnessed some of the open- ing scenes of the revolution: “I lodged Rue du Mail, Place des Victories. At the sound of the tocsin and at ‘the news that the Tuileries were attacked I started for the Carousel. Before T had got there in the Rue des Petits Champs I was passed by a mob of hor- rible looking fellows parading a head stuck on a pike. Thinking T looked too much of a gentleman, they wanted .me to shout ‘Vive la nation! which I did promptly, as may easily be imagined.” When a Great Man Dies. There can be but austere and serious thoughts in all hearts when a sublime spirit makes its majestic entrance into another life, when one of those beings who have long soared above the crowd on the visible wings of genius, spread- ing all at once other wings which we did not see, plunges swiftly into the unknown.—From Hugo's Funeral Ora- tion on Balzac.

'The color of light depends upon the length of these waves. The light waves producing the colors in the blue end of the spectrum are very short compured with those that pro- duce the colors near the red end. The lizht source that we know as red gives off only waves of a length to produce that particular color. A body appears red because its surface absorbs all the other waves und reflects the red waves back into the eye. If an attempt is made to light a blue body with red light it will fail, because the blue body is uble of reflecting only the short Wav producing the blue. and since the red source produces Tone of these there will be no reflection and the body will appear black. A thing looks black when it is capable of absorbing all the colors at once.—St. Louis Republie, Improving the Book of Job. 1 remember the relief with which, after long feeling the sway of Frank- lin’s imperturbable common sense, 1 came upon a project of his for a new version of the book of Job to replace the old version, the style of which, says Franklin, has become obsolete and hence less agreeable. I give,” he continues., “a few verses which may serve as a sample of the kind of ver- sion 1 would recommend.” We all recollect the famous verse in our translation, “Then Satan answered the Lord and said, Doth Job fear God for naught?” *“Does your majesty imagine that Job’s good conduct is the effect of mere per- sonal attachment and affection’ I well remember how, when I first read that. 1 drew a deep breath of re- lief and said to myself, “After all, there is a stretch of humanity beyond Franklin's victorious good sense."— Matthew Arnold’s *Culture and An- archy.” An Awful Experience. A native diver descended into the water to see whether one of the piers, then in course of construction, had set. ‘While he was engaged in this work a great iron cylinder subsided a little, crushing his hand between it and the masonry. When, on a signal being giv- en, another diver came down he found his unfortunate comrade imprisoned under water without hope of escape. After a few moments of mute despair and harrowing uncertainty a speech- less decision was arrived- at, and the newcomer proceeded with chisel and bhammer to hack off his unhappy com- panion’s hand at the wrist. The pris- oner was thus liberated. but died soon after reaching the surface from the shock. Never, 1 think, bas an opium eater in his dreams imagined a more pitiful spectacle of hopeless human suffering.—*Travels In India.” Justifiable Protest. “My wife is one of the unluckiest persons 1 know,” began a Cedar ave- nue man, who_tells long stories about his household affairs. “She sure is,” agreed the victim of the conversation fervently. But his mild sarcasm was lost. “She was hit by a street car recent- ly.”” pursued the narrator, “and got a broken arm. That's the fourth time in less than a year that something has happened to her. When they brought her to her senses this time I leaned over her sympathetically. ‘Better, my dear? says I. ‘It ain’t fair! she yells. ‘What ain’t fair? 1 asks gently. *Why, she groans, ‘you're the one that car- ries all the accident insurance-in this family, and T'm the one that always gets hurt! It ain’t fair? ”"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. 5 N The Kangaroo’s Kick. ‘When a big *‘old man” kangaroo stiff- ens his tail and converts it into a sort of revolving pivot bearing the whole weight of his body, leaving his tremen- dously powerful legs free for attack and defense, everybody who does not want to be ripped up or thrown in a heap for a considerable distance will give the marsupial a wide berth. Only those who have seen the full grown kangaroo in his native Australian bush with his back to a tree, scattering dogs, bleeding and torn, right and left, can form any adequate idea of the prodi- gious strength the animal is capable of exerting when he finds himself in a tight corner. The Old Man’s Opinion. Mr. Scrimpps—I asked your daughter a very important question last night, and she referred me to you. 0ld Gentleman—H’m! What did you ask her? “I asked her if she’d marry me.” “Well, she won’t.” “Eh? Has she said so?” “No, but from what I know of the girl 1 don't believe she would haye bothered herself about me if she had really wanted you’—New’ York Week- ly. 5 Tommy's Decision.

He threw it well. He made what is called a pat lid and jumped for joy. Then it was Douglas MacDonald’s turn. His case seemed hopeless, but such a splen- did throw did he make that the pat lid was knocked off, and his stone lay at the side of the tee, winning the game. Ia his joy the old fellow jump- ed sky high. He came down so hard that he broke right through the ice. He sank. but, bobbing up again, he shouted from the cold water: “Hi, lads, we’ve won, and if I dinna come oot o’ here alive be sure ye pit that stone on my grave!”—Exchange. Dolliver and the Dahlias.

When they met in Washington after the campaign Senator Dolliver said to the Minnesota man: “Clapp, you would have had me mobbed if I hadn't been prudent. If I had called those dahlias American Beauties those Swedes would ve been for killing me.” “Yes.”” said Senator Clapp, “they are good people and generally do the right thing.”—Minneapolis Journal.
