Now comes a doctor who says that the late Charles T.

Salt is put among the drugs, to be taken by prescription only, and if overused it is more dangerous, because more insidious, than the active corrosive pbisons. Pepper was long ago put out of the list of safe condiments, vinegar is under suspicion, and we don’t know what Worcestershire sauce is made of, and if man would live till he dies he must eat unseasoned food and rely on hunger for its sauce. o » T The importation from Australia decreased 40 per cent. The decrease in coal consumption is due to the extending use of fuel oil. The oil production of California in 1902 ‘Was’ 13,000,000 barrels, in 1903 it was 21,000,000 barrels, in 1905 it was 33,000,000 barrels. We imported less coal and exported 800,000 barrels of oil, and carry over in tankage 10,000,000 barrels, showing that con- sumption has not yet overtaken production. The railroads use 15,000,000 barrels annually. New discoveries are keeping supply ahead of demand, but with increase in railroad mileage and population we may anticipate a balance only a few years ahead, and then oil ‘will be oil, because so many establishments are fitted to its use that they will be averse to refitting for coal. Qil fuel in deep water steamers is extending nearly as rapidly as the use in locomotives, and the life of the coalpasser is made easier, like that of the engine fireman. 2 The sudden rise of California to be the greatest oil producing State in the Union has saved to this country the reputation of pro- ducing half of the mineral oil of the world. We lead Russia and are able to control the market. It is believed by our mineralogists that before many years coal discoveries will make us independent in our fuel supply. Our coals so far developed are incomplete. But the fact of their existence is an indication that finished coals may be found, because other great coal deposits have occurred in the same sequence. ent mc necessities 1 the wi se¢k sa OUR FUEL STATISTICS.

BY ANGELA MORGAN ‘ WENT BROKE+ OMEN, If yoa want to progress, ' ' useful and alive, If you want your interest In life to increase instead of to diminish with the years, don't become resigned. Of all the foes to happiness, usefulness, health and youth, resignation is among the most deadly. There is nothing that will more quickly rob life of zest and meaning than the at- titude of resignation. There is nothing that will more surely paralyze & woman's | mental and spiritual powers, narrow her | horizon and destroy the best.that isin | her than being heavily, hopelessly re- | signed to what is undesirable. | There is one kind of resignation that is | beautiful, because necessary and right. | There is another kind that is not beauti- | ful, because unnecessary and not right. The first consists in cheerfully adjusting ome's self to duties and demands that are a part of one's life work, and not to be evaded. | The second consists in supinely accept- ing undesirable, hampering, blighting con- ditions as inevitable and permanent sim- ply because one has not the faith, the | daring, the spiritual enterprise to seek a way out. Or else one permits the limita- tions and beliefs of others to regulate her life, and Is fearful of belleving, hoping, acting positively for herself. And there is all the difference in the world between these two attitudes as to | the actual results produced in one’s life. | It is possible to be resigned and yet not | resigned. No matter how necessary, how right it is that a woman adjust herself to | certain difficult and unfavorable circum- | stances, she should never commit the er- | ror of settling into the deadening belief | that these conditions will not change; that there will never be a way out for her. Nor is there any reason why a woman should accept as unavoldable the restric- tions and handicaps that other women experlence, simply because such evils are usual. It is the thoughts we hold, the suggestions we give ourselves, that de- termine what our life conditions shall be. To become “resigned”’ to evil and suffering and limitation because we see them as the experience of others is igno- rant and suicidal. In the matter of age the difference in mental attitude very/speedily shows itself. The woman who becomes resigned to the 1f you want to keep YOung, | PICKINGS FROM PUCHK | stitution and mental equipment was con- thought of fading charms and waning powers will become settled and gray long before her time, while the woman who combats age or who keeps herself men- tally and spiritually so actlve that she has no time to consider it, remains young, buoyant and aspiring, no matter how long she Jives. I know a woman of 35 or thereabouts who, at the age of 28, resigned herself to the belief that she was an old maid and that the future before her was bound to be gray, hopeless, full of drudgery and disappointment. Thereafter all her plans, her aims, her Ideals, were shaped and colored according to that belief. It was not long before “old mald” stamped itself upon her per- son, her manner and all her modes of ac- tivity. Bvery feature showed the image she was holding in mind. As she thought in her heart, so was she, and so did everybody regard her. To-day she is old, 1ll, faded, useless—a burden upon rela- tives. I knpw another woman of the same age who had not one whit the advantage of the first so far as looks, physical con- cerned. At the same time that this other was stamping ‘‘old maid” all over her mind and her conditions the other was vigorously pushing forward in various en- terprises that kept mind and spirit posi- tively Interested and wide awake. She did not glve the advancing years a thought, except to welcome the new ex- periences for growth and knowledge that time brougnht Her ideals were youthful, happy, glowing. She was always lodking forward with faith, hope, expectation of good. And that good has come to her. She is a radiant typs of womanhood. She has advanced intellectually and spliritually until she {5 an individual well worth knowing. She has attracted love, es- teem, friendship, and can have her choice so far as matrimony is concerned. The differerice in these two women con- sisted simply in their difference of men- tal attitude. One was ‘‘resigned,” the other would not be. 2 Women, steer clear of resignation! Keep your faces turned toward youth and hope and achievement, Keep on alming, aspir- ing, belleving! It is only when we are looking forward; only when we are pushing on with faith and courage and daring, that we are kept in the path of real happiness and progress. REALISM.—It was the 1st of January when a stranger entered the offices of Pushup’'s Monthly Magazine. “Graclious, but it is hot in here,” he re- marked to a man In his.shirt sleeves, who was mopping his face with a handker- chief. “Some," was the terse reply of the man, who was no other than the famous editor himself. “What are all those flowers, straw hats and palmleaf fans scattered about for?" tion number,” the great editor's kindly reply. was London reports the remarkable case of a man who deliberately put his legs un- der the wheels of a railway train in order to obtain compensation from the company and £500 reward from a magazine.

I can’t take care of the children and do the housework, too. You've got to get a girl! Adam (with resignation)—Oh, very well. 1 suppose this is where I lose another rib.

The lively microbe is ever with us, and | among his happy hunting rounds, so we are told, are life pages of old books. But this is the age of hyglene, and so t.hc[ London publishers have had the lucky fn- | spiration to Invent some wonderful rag ' picture books which will never carry dis- | ease, for they can be washed again and ; again, and yet “‘come up smiling.”” There are all sorts of attractive little books in this .Iingenious series. he hygienic system is also applied to the | encous baby's playthings, for here are rag pic- tures of toy elephants, horses, etc., which, when cut out and stuffed, may be sucked by King Baby without hurt—most ngs finding their way to a baby's mouth. ¢ 3 ALPH GOWAN, a wealthy mer- R chant, smiled contentedly in the realization that a duty, per- formed regularly for four years, was now ended. His son James had grad- uated from college and mongbly checks need no longer be forwarded. James, however, did mnot care to as- sume business responsibilities imme- diately, and In a most persuasive man- ner induced his father to let him tour the world with a college chum. The old man was pleased with his son’s per- suasive powers—it indicated business ability. He permitted the boy to go. ‘James was given a goodly wad of money and a positive warning that the sum must suffice. He was further given to understand that he’d have to com municate with his father by postal card only and that all letters would remain un- opened. “He has too much pride to beg on a postal card,” cunningly chuckled the father, ““and, consequently, will make his money last.” Postal cards from Europe came reg- ularly to Ralph Gowan. He became in- terested in his son’s travels. The cards were pinned to the library wall, with & sort of geographical relationship. Many of the postals /were works of art and in a few weeks the exact- ing business man had contracted an acute mania for souvenir postal cards. A beautiful card was delivered to the merchant one morning and in a moment the air was split with sharp expletives. The card was mutilated. A crack across the glazed surface indicated gross care- lessness on the part of the authorities. More cards arrived, the beauty of each marred by a crease, made, unquestion- ably, with maliclous deliberation. “Look here,” sald Gowan, angrily, as he approached the postmaster and handed him one of the cards, “all my postals are cracked like this one. Some one is to blame. Here are a dozen more like it." The postmaster calmly gazed at the mutilated cards, noticed a similarity of wording and of creasing, and promlised to fnvestigate. A That same day the postmaster called on Mr. Gowan, and, chuckling immoder- ately, said: *“Read these cards and for every crease substitute the word ‘broke.” The merchant pondered for a moment and then took up a card and read: T remain as ever—broke—your loving son, James." Gowan meekly mailed a check. Then his arm swept viciously over his library wall and in a few moments the atmos- phere was permeated with the odor of burning paper.—Phlladelphia North Amerjcan., FRIDAY A LUCKY DAY. In many people the superstition that Friday Is an unlucky day is deep-rooted. They will not go upon a journey on that day or begin a new undertaking, because it is sure to be unfortunate. But consider the following facts and believe in luck on Friday: Columbus sailed from Palos on his voy- age of discovery on Friday, August 3, 1492, and he discovered the New World on Friday, October 12, 1432. On Friday, Jan- uary 4, 1493, he started on his return voy- age to Spain, and on Friday, March 15, 1493, he disembarked in Andalusia. On Friday, June 8, 1498, he first saw the con- tinent of America. On Friday, March 5, 1497, Henry VII of England gave to John Cabot his dispatch for the voyage that resulted in the dis- covery of the North American continent. On Friday, November 10, 1620, the May- flower first' disembarked a few immi- grants on American soll at* Provincetown, and on Friday, December 22, 163, her pessengers finally landed at Plymouth + George Washington was born on Friday, February 22, 1732, and the union of the colonies was formally made on Friday, May 20, 1775. The battle of Bunker Eu ~was fought on Friday, June 17, 1775, a the surrender at Saratoga took place on Friday, October 17, 1777, which event re- sulted in France acknowledging us as a nation and offe us material aid and ragement. On Friday, October 19, 1781, the British ‘surrendered at Yorktown, and on Fri- day, June 7, 1776, Henry Lee read the Dec- tal Congress.—Minneapolis Tribune. “FHE CLOUDSHIPS. BY A.'d. WATERHOUSE.

Because he believed the claims of suf- fering humanity superseded any personal | claim upon his own emotions, he smoth- | ered the longing for wife and children and devoted the thought and affection of | a long and useful life to furthering the | happiness and welfare of less fortunate men—less fortunate that is, in worldly | goods, for, despite his great riches and | despite his lofty and busy life, Stephen | | Salisbury cannot be regarded as other | than unfortunate and unhappy. Notwith- standing the good fight he made against the dictates of his great, generous heart. the eminent philanthropist was never able to banish one face from his memory | —was never able to stop his ears to one haunting voice, one haunting laugh—the face and the voice and the laugh of the girl whom he loved in his youth. Few in Worcester save his most intl- mate friends knew the details of Mr. Salisbury’s life romance, for in spite of his generosity and unselfish care for others the great philanthropist lived a lonely. silent and unutterably sad life. The secret of it all was his stern New England consclence. Stephen Salisbury not only believed with Carnegie that to die rich is to die disgraced, but he also belisved that for a wealthy man to have a pleasure loving, care free existence Is a high erime. It seemed to him that a wealthy man had so much to do with his money that he had no right to think of his own happiness, and tals Is why he turned a deaf ear to the call of the heart. His romance began strangely enough. As a young man he attended Harvard, whence he was graduated. It was at school that he planned the system upon which his career was to be so rigorously followed. He was already an orphan and master of a fortune of more than twenty million dollars. He was 20 years old, and he was a handsome youth. He endowed a hospital in his native city of ‘Worcester and established two handsome- Iy equipped schools. Then the primordial longing for a wife and a hearthstone took ROBINS—Subscriber, City.

He stopped his ears to the world old call and interested himself still more deeply in the well being of his less fortunate townsmen. But still the call sounded more singly In his ears, though thus far Stephen Salis- bury had not seen the face of the one particular woman whom he wanted above all others. It was then that he resolved to run away from himseif. He would travel. He reasoned that there was nothing that would make a man forget so soon as the sight of strange cities and of strange lands. Alone he visited the great popu- lous cities 6f the earth. East and wes, north and south he traveied, always si- lent and alone. And still he could not forget the face of that mystic woman whom as yet he had never seen. But at last one day he did come upon her face to face. It was in Yucatan that he met her, a dark haired, dark eyed Spanish girl. The moment he laid eyes upon her rich Spanish beauty he knew his doom was sealed. Those were short, happy days In Ste- phen Salisbury’s life. The stern, vigorous New Englander was completely carried away by the spell cast over him by the senorita. The young man knew that with- out her his life must always be a woeful and broken thing, but nevertheless, strong as was his passion for her, he realized that marriage meant for him less fidelity toward the great trust placed upon him by his wealth, and he salled away with- out declaring himself. He returned to Worcester and became a recluse in the great, lonely house where he had been born and where he continued to Mve until the day of his death, 4 few weeks ago. He became a power in the world of flnance, and his name was a household word in every home in all New England. As his years increased the one domestic light in his solitary life seemed to be the friendship of Mrs. S. E. Reed Lawton, a friend of his early childhood days, who had married in hAls youth, Her home joined his solitary grounds, and throughout a period of nearly forty years her threshold was the only other one he ever crossed. But apart from this one friendship Salisbury shunned society. His one peculiarity in Hfe was to avold as- soclation with others, but from first to last his heart was In far away Yucatan, with the girl who had to all intents and purposes passed entirely out of his lfe. — ANSWERS TO QUERIES. | -— the duty of the father to express words of welcome immediately on seeing the friend, and mot wait for the visitor to greet him.
