Luxuries.
Luxuries are those possessions
"Which aro enjoyed chiefly and almost
solely because other people do not
have them. All other possessions aro
necessities. If every one were a
Standard Oil magnate, it would be an
Insufferable bore, and It is getting to
bo almost that anyway. Luxuries do
not connoto comfort. On the con
trary, they connote litter, Indigestion,
gout and lassitude. Comfort comes
only from necessities Ufe.
If he would attend to his Instructions
he would bo cured. He then gave
the farmer a prescription, which he
directed should be taken to a neigh
boring druggist, but when the latter
op"f.ed the envelope and rend the con
rents he was as much startled as the
farmer. For the prescription was ns
follows: "This man lias the cattle
plague. Take him Into the backyard
and shoot him, according to act of
j parliament." Needless to gay, the
' cure was Instantaneous.

the English say. The Spanish proverb
laa It: "When the fool has made up
Tils mind the market has gone by."
The old Latins said: "Opportunity has

Interesting Analysis of Snow.
The London Lancet once made an
analysis of London snow on a week
day and on a Sunday. Tho SuncY
Enow showed roughly a fifth of the
amount of impurities present In tho
neeltday snow. But the most signi
ficant difference was that while tha
weekday t-now contained ns much :is

Investing In Nature.
A man must Invest, himself near at
h?.H, and In common things, and bn
content with a steady and moderate
return. If he would know the blessed
ness of a cheerful heart and the sweet
ness of a walk over the round earth.
This is a lesson the American has yet
to learn capability of amusement on
a low key. He expects rapid and ex
traordinary returns. He would make
tho very elemental laws pay usury.
He has nothing to Invest In a walk;
it Is too slow, too cheap. We crave
the astonishing, the exciting, the far
away, and do not know tho highways
of the goila when we see them always
a sign of the decay of faith and sim
plicity of man. John Burroughs.

Worldly Wisdom.
As there Is a worldly happiness
which God perceives to bo no more
than disguised misery; as there aro
worldly honors which in his estima
tion nre reproach, so there Is" a world
ly wisdom which in his sight Is fool
ishness. Of this worldly wisdom the
characters are Riven In the Scriptures, j
and placed In contrast with those of
tho wisdom which Is from above. The
one is the wisdom of the crafty, the
other that of the upright; the one
terminates In selfishness, the other In
charity; the one Is full of strife and
bitter cnvylr.gs, tho other of mercy
and of good fruits. Blair.
Small Scale Love.
Dr. Pierce Underbill, whose hook on
divorce and marriage is to appear next
month In Indianapolis, delivered a lec
turo on divorce recently In a fashion
aide Indianapolis church.
"Kxtravagance," he began, "is one
ut the Mr causes of divorce. My cous
in, a bnnk clerk, married a pretty
jc!rl and took her home to a nice little
tat. But she frowned and bit her Up.
"Oh, Jack.' she Bald, 'I can't llvs

"You don't love me when you say
thai, darling,' said my cousin.
-"Oh, yea 1 do, but not on such a

Bean Milk.
'Tlgeon milk is a myth." said a
milkman, "but there actually is a bean
milk. It Is drunk, put In tea and cof
fee, and even frozen fur ice cream.
The Japs are Its Inventors. This milk
Is made of the Sofa bean. Tlie bean
Is first soaked, then boiled in water.
After the liquid turns white sugar and
phosphate of potash nre added, and
the boiling is kept up till a subJianee
of tho thickness of molasses is ob
tained. Nobody could tell this bean
milk from condensed milk, and when
water Is ndd'M It can't be told from
the fresh. Tho Japanese poor uso

; It was one of tlrj branch unices of a
! Dig railroad. As the man ahead of h t
' llierw down hi money, grabbed his
( ticket and disappeared, she fluttered
j up to the counter.
"I want to get my trunk checked,
please."
"Let mo see your ticket, miss."
"(), Clare, we forgot to get my
ticket." turning to the girl with her.
"So we did. Now we will have to
go all the way back."
"You can get your ticket here, miss."
"O, Clare, I can gvl my ticket here.
Un't it lovely?"
"Just happened to have a few odd
lota on hand," grinned some brute bit
'jlnd her. "It's bargain day, you know.
All tickets reduced to 1.!I8!"
"What does that rudo creature
mean, t lare .'
"I don't know, dear. Don't pay any
attention to him."
"Where to, miss?" Inquired the
ticket agent at this point
"New York."
"Round trip?"
"O, I wait a moment. Clare, I
oevor thought about that. Would you
get a round trip? You know the How
ards may only be In New York a week,
and 1 may go on with them to Pitts
burg. They have been begging me to
for weeks, but If Mabel's wedding
should come off by the 30th, I'll want
to go to that. I shouldn't be a bit sur
prised though If she postponed It
again, but "
"Round trip, miss?" asked the ticket
agent again, while the waiting line of
men und women btood on the other
foot.
"O, Clare, what would you do? I
urn wild to go to Pittsburg with the
Howards "
"And we are wild to have you go,"
suddenly yelled a man at the ex;rome
end of the line, whose train left in 20
minutes.
"Try Pittsburg," yelled another
voice. "You have to chang9 every
thing there every hour or so, and you
can Include your mind without any ex
tra inconvenience."
"Oh. no," shrieked another frantic
Individual, "go to Mab'd's wedding. I
nm dying to have you go. What, Ma
bel?" "Clare, did you ever see such dread
ful people. I shall report you at the
main olllce." and she glared at the
ticket agent.
"Yes, miss," returned that Individual
In an expressionless voice.
"Round trip?"
"No, single," haughtily. r
"What time? The next call la be
tween 11 and 12"
"Oh, my trunk Isn't packed yet. 1
could never get It ready In that t ime.'
"Next call between 3 and 4."
"Very well, have the man call for
my trunk at 3, tlua 1 can take the 2
o'clock train."
"You would not have your check
mis?"
"Why not? I can g :t the check when
the man comes for my trunk."
"But you won't be there If you go
on tha 2 o'clock train and he doesn't
come until 3."
"Oh." A long pause.
"Clare, I won't bo there. What
shall I do? Do you think I could get
my trunk ready by 12? You know
they never come when they say they
will."
"I think you could, dear. I'll pack
one tray for you and we'll phone for
Helen to come and help us, and "
"Say, look here," shouted an excited
person In the rear, whose hair was
standing wildly on end and whose
eyes appeared to be endeavoring to
sever their connecting links with his
face. "I've got Just 20 minutes to
make my train In, and It's a matter of
$40,000 to mo if I lose It. Now if
'Clara' and her friend will retire for a
few moments and decide the?e mo
mentous questions the rest of u.i can
et our tickets before she has tlmo to
rhange her mind aguln."
"Clare, I'll not stay here another
moment and be Insulted. I shall not
;..et my ticket at this office, and I shall
certainly report you, sir, at headquar
ters. I will never go on this road
again and I shall tell all my friends
how I have been treated, and see that
they take their custom elsewhere."
and then she and Clare swept haught
ily from the ofllce, while the crowd
cheered.
As the two disappeared the ticket
agent winked at the crowd, and then
began throwing out tickets and mak
ing change, as each man yelled his
destination, tossed him his money and
snatching his ticket sprinted out of
the door with his coat tails standing
out straight and his suit case cutting
long streaks out of the utnioapUere.

The Human Family.
The human family living on earth
to-day consists of about 1.450,090,000
souls not fewer, probably more.'
These are distributed literally all over
the earth's surface, there being no
considerable spot on the globe where
man has not found a foothold. In Asia,
the so-called "cradle of the human
race," there are now about 800,000,000
people, densely crowded, or an av
erage of about 120 to every square
mile. In Europe there are 320.000,000,
averaging 100 to the square mile, not
so crowded as Asia, but everywhere
dense, and in many places mer-popti-
lated. In Africa there are 210,000,000;
and In the Americas North, South
and Central 110,000,000, these latter,
of course, relatively thinly scattered
over broad areas. On the Islands,
large and small, there are probably
10,000,000 more. The extremes of the
blacks and the whites are as five to
