Most Fertile Cause of War. A famous French political economist drew up a statistical table some time ago on this very question, and the analysis showed that nine-tenths of the world’s wars have grown out of quarrels that arose directly from com- mercial disputes. No fewer than fifty- five wars were classified as civil; for- ty-one were wars, of succession of Crown claims; thirty under the _ pre- « ce of helping allies; twenty-eight were religious wars; twenty-four were wars of retaliation; twenty-two were for commercial rivalry; and eight on points of honor. ten Changes in National Features. Whether we look at portrait gal- Jeries, like Hampton court, or turn illustration in old books, it is evident that some physiognomical change has been taking place. The stout, plethoric, muscular, ruddy-faced man of stolid expression is becoming exceptional, and his place is being tak- en by a thinner, more alert, active type. The modern face is more keen, leaner end of less coarse mould than those of the older pioneers who laid the foundation of their country’s greatness.—Aspects of Social. Evolu- than Love ana Life. 2 ‘Love comes when none may know, Lingers a while, and files; We only see him ‘go. ‘Mid music soft and slow, Darkling, as daylight dies, Love comes when none may know. Dream we an hour or so— To wake in sad surprise; We only see him go. ‘With shaft and golden bow, Wondrous in sleep he lies (Love comes when none may know:) ‘Fhen once we look—and lo, Quick he takes wing and files: ‘We only see him go— And range the world in woe, Seeking with wistful eyes, Love comes when none may know: ‘We only see him go. : —Boston Pilot. The Bank of Engtand. The Bank of Kngland generally con- tains sufficient gold in sixteen pound bars to make 20,000,000 sovereigns. Tne bank, which stands in three par- tenes in London, covers three acres of ground, and, as the current price of land in the vicinity works out at £1,000,000 an acre, it is easy to form an idea of the money value of the home of England’s _wealth. The ratable value is nearly £1,000 a week. The bank employs about 1,000 people and pays £250,000 a year in wages and £35,000 a year in pen- sions. There are £25,000,000 worth of notes in circulation, which have been handed ever the ban’s counters. Alcohol in Ancient Times. Considering the possible inffuence of alcohol upon human evolution, Dr. Harry Campbell assumes that such civilizations as those of Babylon and Egypt may date back 30,000 years and that agriculture by migratory tribes may extend back 30,000 years more, but concludes that the use of alcohol as a beverage has net been known more than 10,000 years. He finds no reason to believe that, as was sug- gested some years ago, the discovery of fermented liquor gave the first civ- flizing quickening to the brain of the ape-man. asked how it was that he had such an erect carriage, replied that it was because he bent over and touched the floor with his fingers thirty times every day. If he had acquired rigid- ity of the spine so that he could not do that, he would have had with it weak abdomfna: muscles, which re sult in portal cohgestion. This. por- tal congestion interferes with stom- ach digestién and witn the.action of the liver. The poisomdestroying pow- er of the liver is lessened, autointoxi- cation results, and arteriosclerosis and old age come on at a much earlier day. But by keeping the spine Hexi- ble and the abdominal muscles strong and taut the portal circulation is kept free and old age is held off.—Good Health. —<$ $$ —_—_—— Certain Weather Indications. Distant sound heard distinctly fore Hodes no good weather. If the sun “draws up water” it will rain. The pitcher sweating and the teakettle boiling dry also indicate rain. Cob- webs thickly spread upon the grass are an indication of fair weather. Animal life seems, according to the popular notion, to have peculiar warnings regarding the weather cHfanges., Some of these are explain- able by natural causes. It is a fact recognized by all intelligent stock- men that cattle have an intimation of an approaching storm some hours be fore it is visible to the human eye. There is a certain restlessness which the cowboy has learned to interpret at once. All Positions Have Drawbacks. Every position in the world has its drawbacks, every line of work has its disagreeable side, and failure many times can be traced to this shirking from attending to the disagreeable, seemingly unimportant, or difficult, task. A mother dreads to punish her child:| She can’t bear the scene it will cause, and she lets the small er- ror go uncorrected until it grows great. An employer thinks it mean and small to speak to his help about be- ing on time; and so the few moments are lost each day, other leaks are not stopped, and his business is ruined. ‘ Evening Thought. The little things which you may do for those about you will fall back up- on your heart as the summer dews fall upon vineyards. What if it is nothing but a kind word to a school- boy crying in the street? It dries his tears and the aching heart grows light and glad again. Who knows what a cloud of darkness one kind word may dispel? Wear a smile and make others happy. There is ne joy so great as that which springs from a kind act or a pleasant deed.— Woman's Life. . How Is It With Thee? Look inward through the depthe of thine own soul, How is it with thee? Art thou sound and whole? Does neree gearch show thee no earth- 8 I; ? Be noble! and the nobleness that lies In other men, sleeping, but never dead. Will rise In jesty to meet thine own; Then wilt thu see it gleam in many eyes, Then will pure light around thy path be ‘And thou’ wilt nevermore be sad and lone. —James Russell Lowell. Betrothed at Birth. In some parts of West Africa the girls have long engagements. On the day ‘of their birth they are betrothed to a baby boy a trifle older than them- selves, and at the age of twenty they are married. The girls know of no other way of getting a husband, and so they are quite happy and satisfied. As wives they are patterns of obedi- ence, and the marriages usually tura out successes. Sunshine. The latest fad of the very rich is ee obtained at any cost and almost at will. Verandas are glassed in to form sun parlors, and rdéoms te which the sun comes in the natural course of events are furnished accord- ingly. Then there is no anxiety over the fading of carpets and hangings. A room seen recently contained. rugs warranted ‘to resist the influence of the sun, ecru curtains and rattan fur niture, whose cushiens were covered with Java cotton, in bright colors, that are indelible. It was very pretty and cheery, and had the sun a good part of the day in its early hours. Furnished rooms with or without board.—Thos. B., Munn.

A patient German scientist of a sta- tistical turn of mind calculates that person who coughs once every quar- ter of an hour for ten hours is equiva- lent to 250 units of heat or the nour- ishment yielded by three eggs or two glasses of milk. Coughing is thus seen to be an expensive luxury. The reason for the waste in force entailed by ‘it, or one reason at least, lies in genuine antiques in form and color,| the fact that while in normal respira- that only an expert can tell the dif- ference. “There is one way,” how- ever, declares a well known connois- geur in antique furnishings, “that you can always distinguish between the genuine and its copy. Put your knuckles against it as you would against a mirror to tell its real thick- ness. If it is well varnished so that it brings out the reflection of the finger cleariy, you may. be sure it is new. If the reflection is clouded, it ts antique.” ‘ Natural Cure for Rheumatism. There is a wonderful grotto at Mon- summano, called the Grotto Giusti, where the natural vepor is stated to be an infallible cure for rheumatism, Fifty years ago some workmen were quarrying for lime when they discov- ered the grotto, and its healing pow- ers were first made known some little time later. in the lowest portion, ap propriately named the “Inferno,” the temperature is about 95 degrees Fahr., and here the victims from rheuma. tism sit and perspire for an hour at a time. Such a vapcr bath is said to be ot much greater service than a Turk- ish bath. Workhouse Museums. Several of the great London work+ houses have remarkable museums at- tached to them. In a South London union museum can be found a clergy- man’s letters of ordination (the own- er died in the house), and a peculiar belt made of human teeth and brought from the West Coast of Africa. But perhaps the most significant of all things shown is a small pocket dice box. Upon the box is neatly cut: “This box and other wagering cost me £30,000, and brought me to the workhouse.” a PAKE TOOTH WAS VALUABLE. Enabied Missionary to Gain Influence Over Savage Tribe. A well-known Chureh of England missionary among the aborigines of Queensland, Australia, gained great influence over a certain tribe in a very peculiar manner. This tribe had the queer custom of jaw knocked out. The missionary, by accident, had lost this same tooth and replaced it by a false one, When he got talking with the aborigines, he would pull it out, point to the hollow place, and say, “Me, brother, belong to youl” In this way he gained the complcte confidence of the tribe, converte every member of it to Christianity, and introduced as much civilization as they were capable of assimilating. having the front tooth of the upper ; tion the air is expelled from theschest at the rate of four feet a second, in Violent coughing it may attain a velocity of 300 feet. Keeps Customers in Line. A Watervile barber has a unique eontrivance in his shop. It is a large erunciator about two and one-half feet in diameter and works on the same principle as the date indicator on the face of a clock. The numbers run from one to forty. The idea is that when a man goes in he takes a card from a spindle on a stand by the door and every time a chair is empty thi barber presses the electric hatton an? the indicator moves up a number, When a man’s number rings up he takes his turn.—Lewiston (Me.) Jour nai. Horses in Battle. Arabian horses show remarkshie courage in battle. It is said that when a horse of this breed finds him- self wounded, and knows instinctively that he will not be able to carry his rider much longer, he quickly retires, bearing his master to a place of safv- ty while he has yet sufficient strength But if, on the other hand, the rider is wounded and falls to the ground, the faithful enimal remains beside him unmindful of danger, neighing unti’ assistance is brought. Life’s Silences. For, somewhere in the scheme of things, We vainly seek a way In_ which our hidden purposes Shall find the light of day. . The deeds we might have justified ‘When honor held us still; The faith we did not barter For a fickle crowd’s good will. The loyalty to higher aims ‘When pressed by greed ard gain; The smiling and the passing jest » ‘That covered Bp our. pain. But,,only in the stlences Of souls is found the ccst Of failures bringing victories, And battles won when lost. Enough, if in the scheme of things God's purpose be made clear; And we may walk the hights we reach, Serenely, without fear. —Corrine I. Cone, Tramp Was Conscientious. Wearily the tramp wandered up the garden path one summer’s day and took off his hat to the woman of the house. She eyed him keenly. “Look here, are you the man I gave a big meal one February morning?” she demanded, sternly. “I’m the man, mum,” was the reply. “Well, do you remember you promised to shovel all the snow out of my back yard and then sneaked off without doing it?” asked the woman. “Yes, mum; an’ me conscience smote me,” answered the tramp. “That’s the reason I tramped all the way here through the blazing evn to finish the job.” Lid Grand Rapids VillageLots ing them on such easy the matter over. » REISHUS-REMER SESAASSSKESSELSSSSSKSS OSES OF HG Oe: We have choice residence lots all over town and we are sell- down and $5 per month is certainly easy.
