Wise or Otherwise Overwork kills fewer men than excessive leisure. A true story is stranger than a fictitious one. Enterprise is a sprout that is pruned by experience. Charity's argument is short hub it has a long reach. Begin to educate your ^rand-children by educating yourselt. The smaller a man’s mind is, the longer it takes him to make it up. It’s the silly old hens that gives the fox a reputation ol shrewdness, The sneer ol the jealous fool is apt to proclaim the wise man’s merit. When some people feel for the poor they forget to feel in their pockets. Lots of people actually be¬ lieve that their troubles inttr est other people. Many a man would starve it he had nothing to live on but his reputation. The average man is an e oonomist when he has to buy anything for his wife. Many a man who knows his own mind has a some what limited acquaintance. Many a man conducts his bride to he alter and then resigns the leadership.

The doctor from Bonanza says 'Vo are running our for rev emio.Avhnt in the thunder do doc., tors run tor anyway? Do they run for glory?

An editor works half u day for threo dollars with an in vesimootot $8,000; a doctor looks wise and works ten minutes for$2 with tut investment of 8 cent for catn p aid ti[)ih box that cost $1.87.

If a doctor gofs to see another man’s wife lie will charge the man for the visit. If the editor calls on another man’s wire he gets a charge of buckshot. The ®bitor works to keep from starving, while the doctor works to ward off gout. The editor helps men to-live better, and the doctor assists them to die easy. The doctor pulls a sick man’s leg, the editor is glad if hi can even col¬ lecting bill at all. Revenue only? We are I ving for fun and to , spite the doctors.

But lie* was comforted by the fact that she was with her mother. lie wrote her an af¬ fectionate letter and told her to be sure and let him know >f slio grew worse. The next letter conveyed the intelli¬ gence that she was a little worse, though the doctor said it was nothing serious. But in* worried a great deal. The next afternoon a telegraph hoy sauntered into his olfice with the usual nonchalance of a messenger boy con¬ veying a •’rush’’ message and shoved the book under hubby’s nose. “Is dis Mr. Blank’?" asked the boy. "Yes." gasped hubby, cold chills chas¬ ing up and down his spine. "Message f’r you. Sign here. De charges is (SO cents." Hubby grabbed the fateful ninnila envelope and hastily tore it open. What he suffered while tremblingly unfold¬ ing the bit of yellow paper can be Im¬ agined. but not described. He was al most afraid to rend It., but finally he nerved himself for the worst.. This is what he read: "Turn off the wafer and don’t forget to give the bird plenty of seed.”—Omit hn World-Herald. flip Coroner’s Two Vrnllct*. “tnquosts arc sometimes very funny Affairs." remarked n western man. "I remember one in the carle days of my county in KnnriA A man was found dead by the side of a small stream out on the prairie. No mark was found on ills well dressed body. His gun was fully loaded In his hip pocket, and $25 was found in his pocket book. Of course the coroner took charge of the money. A jury was impaneled find affer finishing Its deliberations found that the man clearly died of heart full ure, The cornuor promptly paid from the dead man’s pile the $12 due for ex¬ penses and discharged the jury. The $13 remaining bothered him. He nr giled that to turn flint $13 over to the county, to be held in trust for the man’s possible relatives, would be the game as throwing it away. The man was a stranger in those parts. Possi¬ bly he had no friends. The coroner was equal to the ocea declared himself , slon. however.

Benjamin in Ain I.t’s. the da panose winter is most trviug on account of its continual dampness, but the .lapnnese are content to remain cold. I h-y make almost no effort to overcome it. Tim old •bushhlo’ (chival¬ rous) idea of the ‘sanun-ii’ (knights') was ibnt it was effeminate to n-ci cold. ami snch is their Fevcrc training tlmt they do not really feel it as wo do? The wearing of some extra 'kimonos’ and the use of a hiha.-hi.' or brazier, hi which are a few tim- sticks of lighted charcoal, are the only concessions to winter weather. ^ ith Hid ‘hibnehr they never pretend to heat more than their finger tips, which they hold over the coals. It is used when t've house Is entirely open. “The houses, ns every one knows, nr* built of tlitn. light wood, and the slid¬ ing panels which serve for doors and windows have paper panes. They nre ns apt to be open as closed during the day. When I took my first jlnrikisha ride through the streets of Nagasaki. I forgot my own sufferings in my sym¬ pathy for this unhappy nation, which as surely as the cold came endured such misery from it. The coolies wear thin blue cotton clothes and are always pad¬ dling through the mud. The storekeep¬ ers sit out In their open booths, and the women go bareheaded about the streets. In the houses of the rich the still cold behind the closed panels is often more Intense than that outside In the sun¬ shine, where : the air is stirring. The schools and public buildings are equal¬ ly frigid. “It seemed to me that the only warm things in Japan were the babies, who looked like bundles of gnyly colons crape, their round heads covered In knit. caps. They slumber peaccfull; tucked down their mothers’ hacks. Tin attempt to keep warm in winter is no entirely a‘modern Improvement,’thong! It goes with western civilization. The Koreans do it very thoroughly, the Chi¬ nese to a certain extent. The Japauese, as n race, eontinue to scorn It ns they always have done, aud this is merely one of a hundred examples which prove that the Japanese are still true to their traditions in their daily life and as yet little affected in the ordering of their homes by the ideas adopted from tbo west.” NOVEL CURES.

For example, the bak¬ ing cure: When one lias a well devel¬ oped rheumatism, he Is placed In a spe¬ cies of stove and the crystals of uric Icid are literacy mellecl out of his body. Another odd cure once tried lor rheumatism was burls! In damp, warm day. The first rheumatic took place at Menominee, Mich. Tit® treatment was not a success, and this form of cure h«s been given up. The freciting cure: This was first in< trodured by a Swiss doctor.

The treatment raves many lives, tinging fever * .hove 105 degrees 1<\ has been brought down by these means to normal—08 2-5 degrees—in less than ten minutes. 'Neither of these modes of treatment actually freezes one. A physician of Paris. M. Figeau. introduced In ISiX) an ammonia vapor method., which really froze the patient.

Which, at any given moment, is mov forward faster—the top of a coach or the bottom? Tlie answer to this question seems enough, but probably nine per¬ out of ten, asked at random, give the wrong reply. It would at first sight that the top aud must be moving ft the same that is. the speed of the carriage. by a little thought it will be dis¬ that the bottom of the wheel in fact, by the direction of its mo¬ around its axis, moving backward, an opposite direction to that which carriage is advancing nml is con¬ stationary in space, while i>oiut on top of the wheel is mov¬ forward with the double velocity its own motion around the axis and speed at which the carriage moves.
