her friends h.nl scarcely assumed that
she was likely to forsake her spiuster

bachelor who was considered rather
eccentric. A friend of hers took It

I don't dislike him ut all: it's only
that everybody thinks him—well, not
exactly eccentric, but, at any rate,

"That may be," replied the prospec

likely to make a good husband."—

EFFECT OF MIND ON BODY
Worry, Doubt, Fear and Apprehension
Make the Physical Organism Sus
ceptible to Disease.
Since all of the cells of the body are
more or less Intelligent and we think
not only with the brain but with the
entire physical organism, we can read
ily see that our thoughts and convic
tions must atfect, according to their
nature, all of these cells. We can
think health Into them or we can think
disease.
What have you been telling these
little cell minds In your body, ray
friend? Have you been filling them
with worry and anxiety regarding your
health, with fear with dread, with ap
prehension? Have you been filling
them with doubts, with uncertainties,
doubt of your ability, lack of faith,
lark of self-coutidence? When they
are apparently sick, perhaps the vic
tims of your negative thoughts, your
discouraging moods, your despondency,
are you going to think Into them
more despondency, more discourage
ment, more hopelessness, or are you
going to stimulate them with hope,
faith, confidence, expectancy of better
things to come? Are you going to
radiate health Into them, optimism,
joy?—Orison Swett Marden, In Chi
cago Daily News.
Holland's Day of State.
Although the Dutch are very demo
cratic they still cling to the pageantry
that surrouuils the movements of their
queen on days of state. A case In
point being the opening day of their
parliament, which is quaintly ceremo
nious. The queen rides III a gilded car
riage through the streets of The
Hague to the old Knights' hall In Par
liament square, and with crown on
her head and her gold-braided prince
cmisort at her side sits on the throne.
At this ceremony the Dutch cabinet
ministers are compelled by tradition
to wear giddy uniforms resembling an
old-time minstrel man in an admiral's
int. After this one day of pomp tha
ministers and member%of parliament
put on their working clothes and get
down To business, while the queen,
who prides herself on being a typical
Dutch woman with domestic tustes,
lays her crown aside for auother
year.
Just Where He Had Left It.
Uncle Billy Is getting old and ab

wll'e, noticed that lie was roaming
round from room to room. Presently
lie called to her from the kitchen,
"Sally, have you seen uiy pipe?"
"No, Billy," she answered. "Can't
you find It?" %
"No, 1 can't!" be replied rather
grossly. "I've-looked upstairs and all
over, and I can't And It."
"Didnt' you leave It In the bath
room?" asked Aunt Sally.
"No, I didn't. I've looked there.
Come and look yourself."
As Aunt Sally laid down her paper
she heard him laugh.
"Have you found It, Bill?" she
asked.
"Yes," he replied. "It was In my
mouth."—youth's Companion.
A Miner of Bullets.
F. 11. Lamley, iui ore specialist, is
removing lead and copper-nickel from
the litli back of the target range at
Camp Lewis, near Tacoma, Wash. By
means of a "Jig^ operated by water
power, he shakes the heavy metal
from the eartli which he Is excavating.
In three months' time, he expects to
get 100 tons of metal valued approxi
mately at $200 a ton, and having
cleaned up at Camp Lewis, he will
take his apparatus to .other camp
cites. All of the metal he mines was
shot into the hillside by the boys of
Uncle Sam's army two years ago.
Lamley works on a commission basis.
"First man to mine a target range,"
says Lamley of himself.—Leslie's

Earth Not a Perfect Sphere.
The diameter of the earth from pole

In popular language the earth is said
to be round, like u ball, It Is really

at the poles. The slight departure
from rotundity is accounted for by
the rapid' motion of the earth while
