Behold him in yourself. There exists no/ other evil in nature than what yoy either do or suffer, and you are equglly the author of both. A gen- eral evil could exist only in disorder, but in/the system of nature I see an established order which is never dis- turbéd. Particular evil exists only in the sentiment of the suffering being, and this sentiment is not given to man by nature, but is his own acquisition. Pain and sorrow have but little hold on those who, unaccustomed to reflec- tlon, have uneither memory nor fore- sight. Take away our fatal improve- ments, take away our errors and our vices, take away, in short, everything that is the work of man, and all that remains is good.—Jean Jacques Rous- seau. Consider Your Blessings. As there can always be found in this world plenty of things to find fault with, so there can always be found an untold number of blessings. Never stop to worry because some people are better off than you are, rather keep your hearts full of thankfulness because you are so much better off than are thousands of other human beings. “That was rough on Davis.” “What?” “He stepped on a piece of orange peel, fell and was arrested for giving a street performance without a Ii- (AL AR XX R XX XY LOOK UP, MY BOY.

PEPP BRI PP DD PR DR PD Not a Breath of Suspicion. Many men, although they may not care to confess it, need to guard against lapsus linguae. A case in point is that of a prisoner who was address- ing a court over which Lord Russell was presiding. A very nice story the prisoner was telling of an offense al- leged against him of which he was LA s A L 2R XL ST 2T I T T T L XL T T H XT3 BERPBPIBEPEBOD DR PR PR R RPRRRP R BRP PP ‘wholly guiltless—he, a man against whom there had never before been a breath of suspicion. “Prisoner, pardon me one moment,” interrupted Russell. a little louder. I cannot catch what yousay. What was your last sentence?’ And “Six, months, m’ lord,” came the amazing reply from that fatally facile tongue.—London Globe. “Pemmican” a Cree Word. The word “pemmican” really means # sausage. According to Father A. Lacombe’s Cree-F'rench dictionary, it is a Cree word, derived as follows: “Pimiy (noun), grease, fat; pimiwiw, greasy; pimikkew, the act of making grease; pimikkewin, the act of making pimican, grease, etc.; pimikkan, a bag filled with a mixture of glease and pounded meat.” Bemidii Electric Co.

Wilson's Fair Store g The Store Where the Dollar Does it’s Duty “You must speak | Ancient Bridge Superstition. A primitive notion existed among the Romans and other races that a bridge was an offense and injury to the river god, as it saved people from being drowned while fording or swimming across and robbed the deity of a cer- tain number of victims which were his due. For many centuries in Rome pro- pitiatory offerings of human victims wete made every year to the Tiber. Men and women were drowned by be- ing bound and flung from the wooden Sublician bridge, which till nearly the end of the republican period was the one and only bridge across the Tiber in Rome.—London Spectator. Russia did not break into European history until comparatively recent times. Ruric, a Varangian chief, seems to, have been the first to establish a government, about S862. Ruric’s de- scendants ruled amid many ups and downs till 1598, at which time the real history of the country may be said to begin. With the solitary exception of the United States of America, the progress of Russia under Peter the Great and Catherine II. is unequaled for rapidity in the history of the world. until Xmas A Railroad In the Air. ‘The Wiessen viaduct on the line from Davos to Filisur, a portion of the Al- bula railroad in Swizeriand, is one of the highest stone bridges in Eurape. It carries the track at the height of 289 feet above the Landwasser river. If even with this altitude it is some three feet less in height than the Solis bridge over the Albula, it nevertheless far surpasses it both in its total length of 689 feet and in the size of its cen- tral arch, which has a clear span of 180 feet. Unlike the round arches of the Solis viaduct, ‘which rest upon abutments in the rocks, it is supported by lofty piers of built up, masonry.— _Independent. Reflex Intimidation.
