The henpecked man frequently
realizes too late that all he has ac
complished by his servility is the
loss of his wife’s respect.
A Los Angeles woman collected
insurance on her husband's life and
was having a high old time ui til
her husband turned up. Depend
upon it, men will do anything to
spoil a woman’s fun.
Save all wood ashes and use I
around fruit trees as a fertilizer.
Wood ashes are especially good for
peach trees, and they will benefit
all fruit trees and vines. In using |
them as a fertilizer, do not place ;
any against the trunk of the tree
s:nce the strong alkali will injure
the bark. Scatter them thinly on
the soil over a circle as big as the
top of the tree. The feeding roots
run out farther than the longest
branches of the tree.—A. M. Lath
am, in The Progressive Farmer.
The best text we have heard in
years from which to prepare a
sermon or deliver a lecture, came
from the lips of the mother of the
governor of Mississippi. When
asked by a reporter if the news of
her boy’s election was not the
proudest moment of her life, shook
her head and replied: "No, it was
not the proudest moment. When
news reached me my boy had been
converted was a prouder moment^
to me. This shows what that
mother was thinking of. not of her
boy’s worldly success, not of his
physical life and its ups and downs,
but of his spiritual welware where
all will be serene to those who are
successful, where troubles will not
come, where traitors are not known
and where reward once bestowed
is not taken away. Ex.

"All want something they have
not got. I want a cottage, others
want castles."
Thus saith the rich Duchess of
Sutherland, depreciating the age in
which we live. Let not the Duch
ess worry. The wanting some
thing you haven't got is what
moves the world. Even adversity
has its uses, k is the lack of
things he wants that keeps man
moving upward. Picture a condi
tion un^er which every man had
everything he wanted. Why. it
would be a mighty listless, uninter
esting old world, wouldn't it?
But nature has provided differ
ently. She has decreed that man
like all other animals, like the flow
ers, the birds, the fishes, the j
streams and the hills, shall change
and in each change discover some I
thing that he wants.
The rich, the titled, the power- j
ful, all want something that they
have not got, as well as the poor
and lowly. Hence, there is a striv
ing for things. Probably Adam |
recognized the mercy of the Lord j
in tempting his punishment with 1
the necessity of earning his living j
Anyhow, since Eden's time, or !
since the time when scientists say
min swung from branch to branch
in quest of acorns and other
monkey food, man has grown
through effort for things he wanted
but had not. —Ex,

MUCH FUSS ABOUT CHILDREN
Youngsters in Modern Home Studied
as Carefully as a Vacuum Clean
er, Declares Writer.
Good gracious me, what a fuss there
is about bringing up children now
adays, anyway! In order to do it
you've got to buy a library with each
child. Every time the baby squawks,
you quickly look up your Develop
I ment of Child Character and see how
this squawk is going to affect his
future career as a statesman. Every
time when your infant daughter won’t
mind you say to yourself, "Quick,
! quick! my Psychology of Education!
j If 1 don't control her in Just the right
way she may make a terrible mistake
! in selecting a husband." The fact is,
| a child in the modern 'household is
! studied as carefully as a new vacuum
j cleaner.
Thank fortune, it was different in
my young days! When I was a child
people made the besr of children—as
children. They weren't the kind to
| sit around and sav solemndike, "Now. ;
! here's a nice pine board. Pome day
I it’s going to be a beautiful china
closet or an oak desk. Meantime we
won't treat it like a board, but like a
china closet that is to be.” Their
plan was to use that board in patch
ing up the fences or some such hum
ble thing, and to let the furniture ca
reer take care of itself. Consequent- j
ly, when I was a child I kept quiet in*1,
school, “minded” my parents—some
times with the persuasion of a cat
switch that hung by the kitchen man
: tel—and did such chores as watching
! the turkey eggs, picking up rotten ap
| pies and scrubbing the kitchen chairs.
| This work didn't hurt me 0116 bit,
I and when I played I had the best
I time in the world. As for my shy and
j precious “individuality” you can just
believe there was nobody standing
! round to take it out of its wrappings
before it was ready to come.—Corinne
Lowe in the Country Gentlewoman.

AMUSEMENT THEIR SOLE AIM
Few Go to the Theater to Think or in
Any Way to Induce Ac
tivity of the Mind.
How many people go to the theater
to think or to be even ordinarily alert?
The actor, facing them, can tell you
better than one of the listeners, for
he has a chance to watch the ba
rometer of facial expression. Yet from
the front it is possible to see that a
great many either are incapable of
keeping up with “rapid-fire stuff" or
do not propose to be forced into, as in
a boxing matSh. For them, the obvious
and the spectacular, with perhaps, a
little music that is easily assimilated.
The foregoing, it can be seen, is
not meant to apply to plays which
need the student as a complement. It
; applies to the lightest entertainments
' with their occasional smart spots. The
i comfortable British merchant, made
I logy by a full dinner and an assault
j on port, goes to the theater to be
| mildly amused and resents a draina
ge's efforts to shake him up. More’s
, ,.e pity, we have only too many for
I whom fun or seriousness must be
i palpable.
Ancient Anti-Gclf Law.
Perth. Scotland, where golf is now a i
municipal institution, is the city
where the first act was passed forbid
ding the playing of "Golfe. futeball or
other sik unprofitable sportes " That
was in 14“1 and .lames 1. was the cul
prit, directing his laws against his
subjects while playing the game him
self on the North Inch. The golf club
there is older by centuries than James
the Vi., though it bears his name.
When that monarch became James 1.
®f England he brought his liking for
the game southward. He issued let
ters patent at Salisbury to William
Bervick for the making of golf balls j
for twenty-one years. The reason
would delight Mr. Bonar Law. It was
to prevent so much British money go
| ing out of the country to pay for golf
, balls made in Holland.
Clemenceau Story.
It is said that Monsieur C’lemen
| eeau, who bearg the pleasant sobriquet
of "the tiger,” is about to connect
himself with a new journal to appear
in the near future. This return to the
limelight from which hp had not with
drawn to any distance, gives occasion
for some new stories concerning him
One of these is'that, a young man ap i
plied to him for a place. “Do you
know anything about foreign affairs?"
asked the tiger. “Yes, monsieur.” was
the answer, to which he modestly add
ed. “a little.” Clemenceau appeared
greatly astonished. “Ah, truly! Dc
you know what, is the question of the •
Orient, tin- Austro-Hungarian problem
and pan Slavic policies?” “Yes, mon
skur.” Then “the tiger” turned or. j
him. “T his is too wearisome. It j
would amuse me much more if yot:
knew nothing at all "
Not Always Traveling.
Knights of the grip will appreciate
this yarn, which is told of one ot theii
number. He had been summoned as
a witness in a case at court, his em
plovers having sued a delinquent eus ,
tomer, and tlie lawyer for the defensi |
was cross-examining him.
“You travpl for Hooque & Orooque
do you?” asked the attorney.
“Yes., sir.”
"How long have you been doing it?'
“About ten years.”
“Been traveling all that time, have
you?”
“Well, no, sir," replied the witness
making a hasty mental calculation;
"not actually traveling. I have pu
in about four years of the-, time wait
ing at railway stations, junctions am
watering tanks for trains.”—Magazine
of Fun.
When a Person Faints.
If a person faints he ought to bf
laid down flat on his back, for this
will facilitate the return of blood t<
his head Indeed, nature has provid
ed for this, for a person who faint'
will fall down and soon recover if n<
one interfe res. On the other hand, e
person with an epileptic or cataleptic
fit. indicated by convulsions and froth
ing at the mouth, ought to be proppe
up, so as to facilitate the flow o
blood from the head to the lowei
parts of the body, which may be sti!
further promoted by slapping tin
palms of the hands.
Now, I cannot account for it. bui
tlie fact is that all ignorant people
in an emergency, reverse this treat
raent. A person who simply faints
is carefully supported in a choir, and
the face is plied with cold water ap
plications, fanned, tin- r< suit bein'
that the fainting is prolonged. Or
the other h ind, a man who drops ii
the street with epilepsy or cataiens;
is invariably laid flat on his back
which in some cases is enough to kill
him.—From the Family Doctor.
Luxury.
The late Robert L. MacCameron. the
noted artist, used to tell a story in
illustration of the almost incredible
luxury of the multi-millionaire class.
“A Fifth avenue lady"—so he
would begin—‘‘was shoppiug with her
maid in the Rue de la Paix. The lady
entered a lingerie establishment ami
there she purchased a great deal oi
cobwebby, hand-made lingerie.
"Finally the attendant, displaying a
delicate contrivance of lace and rib
bon and embroidery, said:
“ Would you 1 ik*• to have this hand
some nightgown case, madam?'
“ ‘No.' said the lady, smiling. ‘No
it would be of no use to me.'
"She smiled again, and her maid
explained to the attendant.
" My mistress, you see, has a new
nightie every night.'"
Quicksilver in the United States.
There are nineteen quicksilver
mines in the United States, and fif
teen of them are in California, while
the remainder are divided between
Texas and Nevada. The product for
the year 1910 amounted to 20,601
flasks of 75 pounds each. The value
of this was $953,153, and as compared
with the previous year this shows a
decrease in the quantity but an in
crease in the value. The outlook is
for a still further decreased total, as
no increased product is looked for
except possibly from Nevada. Our
chief markets are our neighbors, Can
ada and Mexico. The world’s product
amounts to 3,599 metric tons, on—
third of which is produced by Spain.
Sun Power in Egypt.
At Meadi, a suburb of Cario, is a
sun-power plant of unusual interest.
It consists of five reflectors, each 204
feet long, whose cross section is in
the form of a patabola, with the gen
erator units at the focus. The last
named are of zinc, built of rectangular
sections 14 inches wide.
To render them efficient they are
painted with a black paint of high heat
absorbing capacity. The water is in
troduced at the lower end and the gen
erator at its upper end is provided
with silvered glass mirrors. The
plant works best at a pressure slight
ly below the atmosphere.—Scientific
American.
In Merry England.
‘That’s rather a handsome mantel
dece you have there, Mr. Binkston,”
aid the visitor.
"Yes,” replied Mr. Bingston, proud
y, "It is a memorial to my wife.”
“Why—1 was not aware that Mrs.
iinkston had passed away,” said the
isitor, sympathetically.
"Oh, no, indeed, she hasn’t,” smiled
!r. Bingston. “She is serving her
: liirtieth sojourn in jail. That mantel
- dece is built of the bricks she was
i convicted of throwing."^
