That excellent journal, the
Meridian (Miss.) Dispatch says:
When you find that your watch is
losing a minute a day, you hasten
to have it regulated.
If your horse goes lame, or your
dog gets sick, you seek a remedy
at once.
If your friend has a fault, you see
it and want it corrected.
But, somehow or other, you treat
yourself so very differently.
The only thing precious above
ill other things to you, that you
are especially charged to keep in
repair yourself you treat with
greater indifference than you do
your dog.
You habitually do thousands of
things that you know injure your
health, and that you would not per
mit your dog to do, and don't care.
If you find your pulse is losing a
beat or two a minute, the fact
doesn't worry you half as much as
a second or two by your watch.
The watch much go at once for
repair and regulation, but your
pulse—well, maybe that will work
itself around right. No matter
about that.
The chances are that you don’t
very often know whether your
pulse is beating or not. You care
so little about that.
Once a week, at least, you care
fully compare your watch with a !
chronometer to know that it is j
right. But you don't ever com
pare your pulse with anything.
Why? Because you don't care as
much about your heart as you do
about a watch. The watch cost
you maybe $50: the heart cost
you nothing. And thus you value
them.
No man ever yet controlled op
portunity and fate until he had first
earned to control himself.
Maybe your wife, or your hus
band. or if you have neither then
some other nearest to you. some
tunes gets out of sorts as wives
and husbands and intimates will
and fails for a while to run in har
mony with your own spirits. Do
you hasten to regulate the w:fe or
husband or friend with a pleasant
work and a cheery smile, that best
of all remedies for disordered spir
its. or do you roughly jar and prod
and neglect, in a way that you
would for a minute think of doing
your watch.
A wife or a husband or a chum
is more easily regulated and kept
in repair than a watch, if the same
c reful and prompt attention be
given in the one case as in the
other.
Thousands of men and women
teach pet dogs difficult tricks, yet
neglect to teach their children
e/en good manners.
There are men who will stay up
all night with a sick horse, but will
not lose ten minutes sleep over a
sick wife.
The instinct to care for things
we prize is inherent in us. We
could not get away from if we
would. But we differ vastly In the
things we prize. Nine-tenths of
us seem to value things according
to the cost price and overlook the
priceless worth of blessings given
us free.

CARING FOR
EDNA
• • *..*.*!•
"I've given up all thoughts of ever
getting married," declared Edna, hold
irg up the Irish lace rose she was cro
cheting. "I did think at one time that
my chances were a little better than
the average girl’s, but now I have re
signed myself to the inevitable.”
“Well, the right man hasn’t come
along yet, my dear," graciously sug
gested Edna's married friend ".lust
as soon as he does you'll know it and
he'll know it, and then there will go
the marriage bells."
"I wish it reaiiy was as simple as
that sighed Edna, “hut you are not ta
king my bachelor uncle into account.”
"Why, what has your uncle got to
do with your not getting married?”
“Everything.” declared Edna, rue
fully. "That Is, nearly everything. I
am not the only star in my own eve
ning horizon. In fact, I am either com
pletely obscured or I shine only with
reflected glory. You've heard me
=penk of my bachelor Uncle Bob. He
lives over on the next street in a
boarding house and be thinks that his
one absolute duty Is to drop in on me
every evening of his life immediately
after dinner and act as master of cere
monies for the rest of the evening
The few times he has failed lo appear
he has called me up by telephone
bright and early the very next morn
ing to express his apologies and re
grets.”
“But he doesn't Interfere with your
callers, does he?” queried the married
friend, with dawning comprehension
“Surely he goes upstairs with *he oth
ers and plays cards or something of
the sort?"
“That’s just what he doe: n't do," re
sponded Edna, compressing her lips,
"lie says he enjoys knowing and
meeting my friends, and he usually
remains all evening when they come,
and on some occasions has even es
corted to the door some young man
whom he particularly favored. He
thinks it is his duty as a man with no
responsibilities to look after my matri
monial prospects. I nearly expire with
mortification when he asks some new
man who is calling for the first time
to have lunch with him the next day
i really know of two cases where he
absolutely frightened away very eli
gible young men by his overassiduous
attentions.”
“Couldn't you delicately hint to him
that he is too much of an evening de
light?” suggested the married friend,
sympathetically.
"I shouldn't dare,” affirmed Edna,
prodding her chochet needle viciously
Into the lace rose. "He is the kind
who would spend the rest of his life
nursing such a cruel sting of ingrati
tude.
“Still, Tom says he is about desper
ate to have a few moments alone with
me. The other evening when he came
he asked me if I couldn't put a few
grains of some harmless slumber pow
der into uncle's coffee.
“Just as he finished speaking uncle
came bustling down from father’s
room, where 1 was hoping that h ■ was
safely stowed away. He started at
once to give Tom some good advice
on the subject of a young man's hav
ing a hank account. Then he drifted
into a few words of warning about, ma
king hay while the sun shines and
striking while the iron is hot. A1
though I had a fearful cold I started
to sing furiously.”
"You poor girl!” exclaimed the mar
rled friend. “I wonder you don't have
nervous prostration. Why don't you
get your family to move?”
“I'ncle Ilob would move, t(,r>, ho
loves us so. I thought that when
summer came thing-; would be better
!n fact. I hit on what seemed to me
a clever plan. 1 fixed up the back
yard with a swinging davenport and
wicker chairs. Tom was delighted
with the plan. The first evening the
yard was ready Tom ca ne over early
and immediately we tore out through
the kitchen to the peace and quiet ot
the Arcadia we had scoured.
"As we approached the swing we
heard the chains creaking. Then we
saw the lighted end of a cigar.
“ 'I was just going in to get you.
announced I'ncle fiob front the -cozy
seat of the davenport swing* It is fine
out here 1 was strolling by and came
In at the side gate. Sit down, sit
down. 1 like young people around me
It never bothers me a bit.'"
"Couldn't you marry him off to some
unsuspecting spinster?" suggested
Edna's married friend with sympathy
in her voice. “I d take almost any
measures to get rid of such a clinging
and pertinacious relative.”
"No.” said Edna, listlessly. "Hr says
he will never marry and that he is
waiting for me to get married so he
can come and live with me."

In Ireland when an angler's hook
catches in a root under water he cuts
a willow sprout, bends it into a hoop,
passes it over rod* and line and lets
it float beyond the obstruction, when
a sharp pull on the line generally

HERTZ THE REAL DISCOVERER
flarconi Made Prjctical Success of
the Wireless, but Was Not First
in the Field.
The principle of wireless telegraphy
is easily comprehended. As is known
! light, and heat move in waves whose
h ngtbs can he measured. Thus, the
sun gives out in every direction light
in a series of undulating waves which
may not only be measured, but. can be
deflected, polarized, and so on. Some
idea of this may be gained from
the well-known fact that when a stone
is thrown into a smooth pool of wa
ter a series of circular waves extends
in all directions. If any floating ob
ject comes within these waves they
are oscillated.
It was Ihe lamented Prof. Hertz
who discovered that electricity, like
light and heat, also moves in waves
which may be measured. Just precise
ly l ow these waves p..ss through the
atm cohere is not wholly understood,
but it is believed that they have some
il lation to eihor, which is omnipres
ent and which is be.ieved to constitute
all matter under different negative
electrical conditions, in wireless tel
egraphy a series of !I rtzian waves
are set up by powerful electrical dyna
mos or batteries, and these are dis
charged from the top of a high mast
or pole. These waves extend in all
directions, and, unless their force is
expended by distance they excite cer
tain effects in the re;elver of wireless
telegraph instruments within the zone,
just as tlie waves disturb chips on a
pool. Messages are sent and received
somewhat on the plan of ordinary
Morse code by wires, in that electrical
impulses are regulated so as to spell
words*according to a code.
To Marconi belongs the credit of
( making a practical success of the dis
c.ovcrics of others, but to Hertz be
lo:,gs the credit of making the sys
tem possible.
PASSED AN UNQUIET NIGHT
Traveler, Lost in the 9ush, Was Glad
to Co Without the Blessings of
Slumber.
Rut I had never given a thought to
!he course I had taken in my gallop
across the veldt. I kept on and on, and
before long it grew dark and some
what cold. So I dismounted, and aft
er thinking it over, I knee-haltered the
horse and let him go, crept head first
into a large ant-bear hole for a night's
lodging, and made myself as comfort
able as possible under the circum
stances, using the biesbok hide for a
blanket. The night was dark as
pitch.
Sleep was out of question. I sup
pose it was the haunches and the ra w
hide that attracted the creatures, but
before long it really seemed as if 1
had settled down in a village of wild
pigs and insulted the whole commu
nity. To begin with, squealing inces
santly, they seemed to be racing round
and round in a circle, taking me for iis
c. ntcr. Then a n imb r of jackals
drawing nearer and nearer, joined in
the chorus. Hut I soon discovered
that if 1 disliked the noise I fairly
dreaded the silence. During the quiet
spells I knew that something was
chewing industriously at the project
i ig ends of the raw hide in which i
was enveloped. It was hard work for
me to keep from kicking incessantly,
but whenever I rested for a minute
the chewing developed into vigorous
tugs, the significance of which it. was
easy fur one in my position to appre
ciate.
However,*1 kicked I he night through
'n safety, and early i t the morning, to
my delight., I found my horse n short
distance awry, nibbling contentedly at
i;is breakfast. Atlantic Monthly.
Most Popular Character.
Charles I)ii Urns once ri reived an
invitation to a "Walter Scott” party
each guest being expected to attend
in the character of one or another of
Aoott's heroes. On tile eventful night,
however, greatly to the as'onishmen!
of the asKc.mbh d Rob Hoys and Wa
verleys. Dickens turned up in ordiiury
evening dress and apparently quite
unconcerned. At length the host, who
was feeling uneasy, come up to the
novelist and inquired:
“Pray, Mr. Dickens, what character
'of Scot.'s cun you possibly bo sup
; posed to represent?”
“Character!” said Dirkens. “Why,
j sir, a character you will find in every
I one of Scott's novels. I.” he went on,
smilingly, “am tho ‘gentle reader.’’’
Terrible Ordeal.
“It was perfectly frightful,” said
Clusbbleigh. “There we ran at top
speed around tho corner, and the first
ihing I knew v\e dashed plumb into
that grocer's wagon. 1 guess it must
have held a hundred dozen eggs."
“Ob, well, that wasn't so bad, was
i it ?" said Hicks. "You could afford
io pay for 'em, couldn’t you?”
"Oh. it wasn't th ’t," said Chubhlelgh,
with a shudder, “llut I don't believe
there was a good egg in the whole lot.”

Already Accomplished.
A reader asked the sage for advice,
saj ing:
I 1 am engaged to Kate Murphy, bu.
my former fiancee, Kate Dooley,
threatens to see me for breach ot
promise. Can you advise me how tc
extrlcete myself from this diffi
culty?”
The reply of the sage was short. It
ran:
. “My dear reader, if I may say so,
you seem to have extra-kuted your
self already!”
