Cultivate a philosophical vein of thought. If you have not What you like, what you have until ean change your environment. Do not waste your vitality in hating your life. Find something in it which is worth liking and enjoying, while you keep steadily at work to make it what you desire. Be happy over something every day, for the brain is a thing of habit, and you cannot teach it to be happy in a moment, if you allow it to be miserable for years. Make yourself worthy of true friend¬ ship aiJ <i lasting respect and worthy love, and if any of these emotions seem to prove ephemeral, remember they were not the realities—the real ones will come to you, since you are worthy. . Acquire all the knowledge ana ac¬ complishments possible, and enter into studies and sports with all y mr ener¬ gies. They help to round life out and and to keep the mind fed with a varied diet, while they open new floors of .pleasure and enjoyment. From a habit of trjing to do some little act to add to the comfort and pleasure of some living thing—man or beast—every day of your life. If you do no more than feed a starving cat, speak kindly to a lost dog or loose the erne! cheek of a misused horse, you have traveled a step toward happiness, and have not lived the day in vain.— -'.New York News. > - Dealer In - licuczs, Wines, Tobacco and Cigars.

SEA POWER OF THE NATIONS Great Changes Made, But England Still Leads, In a review of the sea power of the great nations the Naval Annual shows that in the ten years from 1892 to 1902 these changes have occurred: 1. Russia, Germany and the United fc‘.ates have all become the owners of as many battleships as France, which ten years ago was in that respect sec on:! only to Great Britain. 2. Japan’s navy lias been created and, for Asiatic purposes, is united with Great Britain’s. The British and Japanese navies together number forty-seven armor < cis of the first-class—three more then (he combine^ total of Russian, Ft each and German warships of that class. I. France has made armored cruis¬ er-: the prim ■ feature of her new con¬ struction and will shortly count thir¬ teen of them. 5. Cheat Britain has well maintained her lead over her two most probable adversaries and now counts twenty nine first-class battleships ready for action, against seventeen for France and Russia combined. Assuming that the United States does not join it the Naval Annual con¬ cludes that no combination of naval powers could be made strong enough to destroy British sea power. The things we get for nothing are generally worth just about what they cost. MILLION DOLLAR FRUIT FARM. KiR Apple Orchard In Missouri to Cover 5000-Acre Tract. Missouri is to have a 5000-acre apple orchard, the largest in the world. The ’Frisco road will build a track through it from end to cud, and depots and warehouses will be erected for the stor¬ age of the product. An evaporating plant, vinegar and cider plant and , a a canning establishment will be erected, and facilities provided for caring for every portion of the orchard’s product on a business basis, the keynote to which is like that of the packinghouses —not a thing shall be wasted. The big orchard is to be located in Laclede County,about three miles from Lebanon, on a tract occupying a north¬ ern plateau, nearly the whole of the 5000 acres sloping to the north, a con¬ dition much sought for by orcliardists. It is owned by a company officered by Iowans, and which expects to make an investment on the property of 81,000, 000 . It is proposed to set about 4800 acres of the tract to apples, the remaining ttOO acres being reserved for buildings and other necessary purposes. Two year-old apple trees are to be planted on 1000 acres next spring and 250 acres of peach trees are to be planted, these to afford quicker returns than can be expected from the apple trees. The peach trees will be supplanted by apple trees later, however. From the peach orchard returns are expect¬ ed in three years, while for the apple trees six years are allowed. While the trees are growing the company will plant the land to corn, berries and other crops in order to get a return from year to year. Stump pullers and steam plows are already at work, and the contract has been let for clearing the entire tracts The apples to be grown will be chiefly of the lien Davis and Jonathan varieties, which have been shown to be adapted to that soil and which will keep well, remaining in cold storage for two or three years. It is intended that the orchard company shall market not only the fruit of its own farm, but shall buy and ship fruit from surround¬ ing growers, thus keeping constantly in closest touch with the markets and in position to take advantage of every favorable condition. The Ozark country is yearly taking higher rank among the apple produc¬ ing sections, and one of the promoters of the big orchard said he was advised the apple growers of New York and other of the older States were not re¬ planting their trees owing to the high values of land in those sections. He says that with the cheap lands of Mis¬ souri so well adapted to apple growing and so centrally located as to the best apple markets, the Ozark region will soon become the apple producing cen¬ tre of the world.—Kansas City Journal. The Ping-Pong lYatch. There is one class of the community other than the players which blesses ping-pong. This is the watchmaker and jeweler, for I am told that there is nothing so hard on one’s watch as in¬ dulgence in the game of the. moment. The reason is that most men do not take off their coats and waistcoats, and so play with their watches on. In the excitement the watches are jerked out of the pocket and fall on the ground or on the table, or any way get a nasty jar. A great many girls play with their watches fastened to their bodices, says Woman’s Life, the pin gets opened and clown the watch falls. Even if it does not, the constant jump¬ ing about and swinging of the arms disturbs the machinery so that the watch does not keep time and has to bo sent to be regulated. Since my watch¬ maker told me of this I have watched (don’t think I intended a wretched pun) many girls play, and the way their watches bumped about on their chests has been extraordinary. I can quite understand how it is that my watchmaker says he has more than doubled his income of late repairing the watches of ping-pong players. Si 100,000,000 of Beef. The total annual export value of United States meat—of which beef forms the principal item—is in round figures $100,000,000. If we add to this the distributive sales of the various packing establishments in the United States for the domestic market as well, we find that it reaches the enormous total of 1,000,000 carlcads, valued at $2,000,000,000. Added to this is the value of the many by-products of the packing house, which amount to many millions more,—Leslie’s Monthly.
