It is very well to love thy neigh
bor as thyself but it is a pretty
good thing to let his wife alone.
This world will never be a per
fect place until everybody in it can
make everybody else do as he'd
like to have them do.
One of the troubles of the post
masters after the Parcels Post
system has commenced working,
will be to find suitable conveyances
for rural carriers. The motocycle
and the two wheeled cart are like
ly to prove rather unfavorable ve
hicles.
If you are observing, after read
ing that Adolphus Busch traveled
to California by special train the
other day, you will note that it is
the man who makes booze in large
quantities 'and not the man who
drinks ii in the same way who is
able to travel by special train.
Representative De Forest of
New York has introduced a resolu
tion proposing a constitutional
amendment to lengthen the term
of members of congress to four
years which we believe should be
submitted to the states for ratifica
tion as the present short term ol
two years keeps the congressmen so
busy looking after their re-election
that they neglect their duties.
LUCK.
The woid luck is used to ex
press many ideas, but its misuse is
in attributing to fate or destiny
what rests with the individual.
"Bad luck" and "just my luck" are
expressions used to lay on some
indefinite something blame that
properly rests on the sufferer him
self.
There are great unchangeable
natural laws by the physical, the
economical and the moral worlds
are governed. The person who
observes these laws has good
"luck" and the one who disobeys
them has bad "luck.” There is
not some 'unseen something back
of the scene handing out to one
good fortune and others bad: the
individual chooses what he will be
and what he will have, although it
may be unconsciously, by putting
himself in line with natural laws or
by bumping against them.
Man is master of his own desti
ny and he but acknowledges his
own weakness when he attributes
to luck what comes from miscon
duct or bad management. The
sample of treatment he gets from
his fellows is as a rule of the kind
he has given. The health he has
is to a great extent a product of
his environments and his care of
himself. His success or failure in
his vocation is due to the observ
ance of natural laws or the lack of
observance of them. It is not luck
but self that each of us is depend
ent upon for our success and hap
piness. for we are not dealing with
chance but with law invincible and
unchangeable.
Then for luck let us read law.
Instead of hoping for ourselves
jood luck, let us stujy nature's
laws and obey them as far as pos
sible. In the event of failure, place
the responsibility where it belongs,
on yourself, and make another
effort profiting by former mistakes.

IS DEMAND FOR ORANGEWOOD
Trees Sacrificed for Building Sites In
San Gabriel Valley in
California.
The sale of orangewood is a new
ami profitable industry, which is being
developed by the owners of Mlchil
linda tract in the San Gabriel valley.
The wood is being cleared from build
ing sites in the subdivisions and it is
being sold for $22 a cord. It is said
to be used in the manufacture of
manicure implements.
The orangewood harvest is some
thing new in real estate tracts. Us
ually wherever an orange tree grows
it is something to he cherished and
protected, but at Miehillinda there are
whole groves and some of them must
be sacrificed to allow space for build
ing.
Through a remarkable orchard sys
tem established by the former owners
of the Xlchillinda site many of the
choicest building lots now afford a
selection of orange, lemon and tan
gerines. Thus the builder may estab
lish his home in a grove of semi
tropical trees, where he may select his
breakfast grapefruit or orange as It
hangs on the trees outside his dining
room Window.
Already the orangewood which has
been sold from this suburb has net
ted more than $2,000 and this from
trees cut for the drives and streets
through the residential park.—Tx>s An

REAL FOUNTAIN OF PUNCH
Provided by a British Officer in 1694
for the Entertainment of Six
Thousand Guests.
Some of the papers have recently
devoted attention to the origin of
punch, that famous seventeenth cen
tury drink which lias long lost its
popularity in this country, though it
still survives to some extent in Eu
rope.
Owing to its intimate connection
with rum one might easily have ima
gined that punch originated in the
West Indies. In fact, however, it
actually came from the East Indies
and the name is said to he derived
from the Sanskrit “panscha," five, on
account of its five ingredients—arrak
(afterward rum), tea, sugar, lemon
and hot water.
The most magnificent bowl of punch
the world has ever seen was probably
that provided by the Right Hon. Ed
ward Russel, who, when commanding
the British forces in the Mediterran
ean in 1694, entertained 6,000 guests
at Alicante, where a large mnrhte
fountain was filled with the liquor,
the ingredients being:
Four hogsheads of brandy, a pipe
of Malaga wine, 2.500 lemons, 20 gal
lons of lime juice, 8 hogsheads of wa
ter, 5 pounds of grated nutmegs in
weight, 300 toasted biscuits am) 13
hundredweight of fine white sugar.
Deeper Tha Highest Mountain.
The depth of 9,780 meters to which
the founding line of a German sur
vey ship is said to have sunk in Uie
Pacific ocean near the Philippine
Islands is some 1,000 meters deeper
than the previous deepest sounding.
Of the total water surface of the
globe, 145,000,000 square miles, about
one-third stands more than three
miles above the bottom of the sea.
but until now no part of the great
oceans has been discovered deep
enough to submerge Mount Everest.
Hut if there is no mistake about this
depth of 9,780 meters (32,OSS feet)
the world's highest mountain could
be sunk there until its highest peak
was 3,000 feet below the water's level.
The deepest soundings have all been
made In the Pacific; 23,250 feet Is the
record of the Atlantic, in proximity
to the West Indian Island of St.
Thomas; while the North sea only
averages 300 feet, or about one-tenth
the maximum depth of the icy waters
of the Arctic ocean.
Sensitiveness of Blow-Fly.
It is well known, says Knowledge,
that the blow-fly (Calliphora vomit
oria) has an extrordinarily keen sen
sitiveness to the odor of flesh, detect
ing it from a distance. Xaxier Raspall
has made some observations on the
rapidity with which the flies find a
bird has just died and he maintains
that they do not alight a second be
fore that. An apoplectic pigeon that
looked dead, but was mV. was left un
visited. A moribund magpie, lying
: beside two others which had just been
j killed, was left unvisited, though the
j flies were on the dead birds just be
side it. The instinct not to lay eggs
in anything not quite dead seems to
be strongly developed Hut Raspall
goes on to draw the hazardous conclu
sion that in the article of death an
animal gives off a volatile something
I of infinite subtlety, which serves as
a clue to the fly.
She Knew.
The city girlie, on her first vacation
in the country, was sitting at the side
i of the first beau she had ever had,
looking at the first full moon she had
ever seen in a perfectly clear sky.
“Billy,” she squealed ecstatically,
; “how perfectly delightfully dear, and
I yet how horribly sweetly sad is the
music of those toadstools, out there
, in the woods!”
"Why, darling,” breathed William,
who had been in the country before,
once—‘ you can’t mean ‘toadstools.’
The noise you hear is being made by
crickets."
“Of course," answered the city girl
—"you know what I mean. I get the
i names mixed up. I knew it was some
thing to sit on!”
London Museum Places O’d Vehi
cle on Exhibition.
Thousands of'Modern Cars Now In
Service and Few of the Horse
Drawn Fare Carriers—Big
Change in Last 7 Years.
London.—The new London museum
has shown its enterprise by adding a
hansom cab to its collection, although
there are at least lour hundred or
these vehicles still in use on the Lon
don streets. Hut the last maker of
hansoms closed his doors three years
ago, and the museum authorities are
no doubt anticipating its rapid extinc
tion.
In 1905 motor taxicabs flist ap
peared on the streets under the bum
ble title of “Clarences-Mechanlcal
Power,” there being 19 of them as
compared with about 7.000 hansoms,
in 1910 the hansoms had declined to
.’,003, while the taxicabs had risen, to
5,397.
The exact figures for today have not
been compiled, but It Is safe to e ti
mate that there are at least 11.000 tax
icabs to 400 hansoms, intermittently
employed. The refusal of the han
som drivers to accept the taximet -r
sccelerated their end, for if they had
accepted it they might have made a
longer fight, as the Paris fiacres are
doing.
uecorativeiy, the London streets
lave lost, by the pasting of the han
om, for the tall, delicately poised
arriage, shiny black, with the driver
commanding cab and horse front his
lofty seat and with the slender whip
ising above all, was an outstanding
ticture of London traffic.
Buckinghamshire ' is planning to
aise, on June 27. in the Vale of Ayles
tury, a memorial to her favorite son,
fohn Hampden, who, according to Ma
caulay, would have been the George
Washington of his country if he had
survived the terrible wounds which
le received in a fight with Prince
iupert’s cavalry in Chalgrove.
Posterity has placed Hampden first
tmong the parliamentary party which
opposed Charles I., and he began the
Ight in parliament as a representative
jf Buckinghamshire.
Some curious o'd documents offered
for sale recently by a I>ondon dealer
prove clearly that the wild fowl which
occupy the lakes in the London parks
were in occupancy there in the reign
of James I.
One document is Lord Rochester’s
bill of charges "for keeping the fowle
and beasts at the St. James Parke
and Gardens for April, May and June.
1611."
It is signed by the earl of Salisbury.
Vnother document is for the "charges
layed out on St. James parke and the
springe garden for keepinge and feed- ,
ing his Majesties forravne bestes and
fowle there 1611-12.” and this is signed j
by Sir Julius Caesar.

While Preaching at
Greeley, Coio.
Greeley, Colo.-—Rev. John Bentley,
an Invalid "tenderfoot,” graduate of an
eastern theological college, inay have
a congregation any time his health
permits him to preach here because of
his nerve. Addressing a handful of

had joined his congregation and
nestled at. his feet. He stooped quick
ly, grabbed the rpp ile back of the

held his congregation for an hour. The
