Turit it Over in
Wm&#r Mind
Don’t you think it is far
more economical and much
more business-like to pur
chase your furniture where
you know you will receive
full value for your money
and can inspect the articles
before buying them.
It certainly is, when we’re taken into consideration.
A full line of furniture as low priced you will find
anywhere.

There Is a Marked Difference Be
tween These Two Acts.
THE POWER OF OBSERVATION
It Should Be Cultivated Even In tho
Most Ordinary Things—A Faculty
That Is Possossed by All, but That
Is Developed by the Few.
It is the hope und desire of all par
ents that their children shall make
some sort of a mark in the world when
they Ri'ow up. They do not in the ma
jority of cases expect that their off
spring will become famous and make
names that will live for ages, blit they
cherish the thought that they will be
successful men and women In some
profession or business. That is the
keynote—that success slutII lie their
portion.
Vet it is a fact that most parents
neglect or pay very little attention to
one part of the child's education which
is of the highest importance. They do
not train the perceptive faculties.
Power of observation will help you
more than anything else in your strug
gle for existence, and yet there are
comparatively few people who are
keen observers. One small fact will
prove tills latter statement. The man
who observes everything, he who sees
everything lie looks at, is singled out
either as tin Inquisitive person or a
clever one. and this shows that he is
an exception.
It is easy to give instances of this
lack of perception even in tile ordinary
things of life. Some years ago an art
ist engaged in a London linn of print
ers had to draw an advertisement in
which the central figure was a cock In
the act of crowing. Nothing seemed
easier, but when he set to work the
artist found himself confronted by a
difficulty—does the cock show its tongue
prominently when it crows? IOvery
one of the hundred men employed by
the firm had seen a cock crow scores
of times, yet not one of them coni i
answer the question. The artist find
to go to a friend who kept fowls and
chase the poor rooster round and round
the yard until it crowed.
A schoolmaster, wishing to test the
perception of his boys, asked I hem
how many times they had seen a cow
or pictures of that animal and found
as he had expected, that all flu* boys
had seen the creature more times than
they could remember. Then he offered
to give sma’4 prizes to the boys win
could correctly answer this question
“Are a cow’s ears above, below, in
front of or behind its horns?" ()t:l
two boys gained prizes, and their an
swers were guesswork.
Now sit down and lest yourself In
some such simple manner. Von liavi
all seen a horse "down.” Can you de
scribe how it rises? Does it gel up on
its fore feet first and then on its hind
feet, or does it kneel first, then get ot
its bind feet and finally on ils fori
feet ?
However, you need not confine your
self to the animal kingdom in testing
your perceptive faculties. Many sub
jects will suggest themselves to you.
As tin excuse for tills want of obscr
ration it is often urged that "a man
can’t know everytljing." but the excuse
is a bad one. There is a great differ
ence between knowing little of nothing
and knowing everything. When the
faculty lias been trained it requires no
more effort to note the points of the
object looked at than it does to glance
at that same object i,nil come away
none the wiser.
Tin* chances of success in life are on
the side of (he man who knows cer
tain tilings because lie lias learned
about them by using his senses instca I
of having to go to a book for all ilia!
lie wishes to know. Hooks tire indis
pensable, as there are so many things
which cannot come within the range of
our observation, Imt wherever possible
we should use our senses to acquire
knowledge at first hand.
Tills will explain why men who can
not read or write have built up sub
stantial businesses. They have made
use of the power possessed by all. but
cultivated by very few.
Tile perceptive faculty must lie train
ed during childhood and youth. After
tile completion of tlie twentieth year
very little progress can be made. .\
grown man is tumble to develop Ills
powers of observation to any satisfac
tory degree. Youth is full of energy,
and that is the time to inculcate tho
lesson that we should see all that our
eyes rest upon.
It should lie the object of ever,- par
ent to teach Ids child to note every ob
ject that comes in his way. When oul
for a walk in a park the child should
be told to observe the shapes of the
leaves on the different trees, the pal
ing of tin* color of animals toward the
under part of the body, and so on. and
should lie told that when asked a ques
tion on tlie subject he must lie prepar
ed to sa.v that It is so. not that lie
thinks it is.
All children have Inquiring minds,
and after a walk or two. coupled with
such instruction as we have mention
ed. you will find the child making
great progress and acquiring a quality
that will lie invaluable in after life.
One of the methods adopted by [Ion-
din, tin* conjurer, for quickening tie-
perception of his son was to make him
walk rapidly past a shop window or a
stall on which a number of articles
were displayed and then write down a
list of the objects noticed. At first
only half a dozen articles were per
ceived during the moment occupied in
passing the store or window, hut after
having done it once a day for a mouth
the boy was able to make a list of
forty objects.—Pearson’s Weekly.
A Rattlesnake Trap.
Rattlesnakes wore the most danger
ous wild animals with which the early
settlers of New Jersey had to contend.
They were very numerous, and their
•dtp, If not treated properly at once,
was generally fatal In "Slorles From
American History" F. I(. Stockton
cites an Incident which gives an idea
of the abundance of the rattlers In
tho new colony:
In a quarry from which the work
men were engaged in getting out stone
for the foundations of Princeton col
lege a wide crack In the rocks was dis
covered which led downward to a
large cavity, and in this cave were
found about twenty bushels of rattle
snake bones.
There was no reason to believe that
this was a snake cemetery, to which
the creatures retired when they sup
posed they were approaching the end
of their days, but it was without doubt
a great rattlesnake trap.
Tho narrow, winding passage lead
ing to It must have been very attrac
tive to a snake seeking retired quar
ters In which to take ils long winter
nap. Although the cave at tiio bot
tom of tlm great crack was easy
enough to get into, it was so ar
ranged that it was difficult if not im
possible for a snake to get out, es
pecially In the spring, when snakes are
very thin and weak, having been nour
ished nil winter by their own fat.
Thus year after year the rattlesnakes
must have gone down lino that cavity
without knowing that they could never
get out again.
His Unlucky Day.
“I tell you what it is,” said an old
cynic—“I am firmly convinced that ev
ery man lias his particular days for
good and bad luck. Monday is tny
unlucky day. 1 have been watchlug
it for twenty years, and nothing can
shake mo in this belief. I never be
gin any enterprise, no matter how
trivial, or start on any journey on that
day. Therefore I make Monday an off
day and do nothing but potter round
the house. Even in these little affairs
everything goes wrong.
“Take the record of last Monday, a
fair average, and be convinced: Smash
ed finger while nailing boat'd on fence.
Pell down cellar stairs with coni scut
tle. Fell over wheelbarrow while car
rying stepladder. Sat down on chair
where children had been sucking tof
fee. Got swindled by peddler. Got
thumb pinched in gate. Dropped
smoothing iron on foot. Unity got out
in yard and was hutted by strange
goat. Tax man called. While eating
supper square yard of ceiling fell on
dining table. Went to bed to escape
further disaster. Had nightmare.
Thought I was falling front lop of
Eiffel tower. Fell out of bed and
broke arm. Looked at clock and saw
it lacked fifteen minutes of midnight.
Lay still till clock struck 12. Was
afraid if T moved before Tuesday was
ushered in would have broken nock.
Yes, Indeed,” concluded the man,
“Monday is my unlucky day, and I
approach It with feelings akin to ter
ror."—London Tit-Hits.
The Right Word.
“Why do you speak of him as a fin
ished artist?”
“Because he told me he was utterly
discouraged and was going to quit the
profession. If that doesn't show that
he’s finished I don’t know wlmi dot's.”

Lavadura
It Softens the Water**
Nothing shrinks, nothing fades and there’s no hard rubbing and scrubbing when
Lavadura is used. Your hands are kept soft, smooth and white, and all kinds of
cleaning is done quicker, easier and more satisfactorily.
Use I.avadura in dishwater instead of soap and see how much sweeter, brighter
cleaner your china and glassware, pots and pans are. Once use Lavadura and’
you 11 never want to be without it.
