Thought is the mightiest of powers, from the throne of
mind it rules the body and all the physical actions.
The conviction that you are poor and must remain so will
keep you poverty stricken. Such a thought will prove fatal to
any progress. It will weigh you down and keep your wheels
sunk deep in the rut.
The men who battled with poverty and rose triumphant
in victory banished from themselves the poverty thought, the thought that
, they were always to remain down.
H ' The poverty thought contradicts the promise of the divine and nulli
fies the best, qualities of humanity. Collateral can never take the place
of character, money docs not bring happiness, and there is something
larger, something higher for solution in the divine plan than the bread
winning problem.
Man was created for a noble purpose; poverty thwarts that purpose,
thus subverting human destiny. There have lived thousands who had
mighty potentialities in their breasts and who seemingly were called into
the world for high and holy aims, but who were dragged down by the iron
hand of poverty into the slums of uselessness, to be linally swallowed up
by the mud of oblivion. '
Though poverty has ppurrcd men to effort, it almost invariably is
narrowing, belittling, degrading and generally develops, the worst charac
teristics. Many are the noble examples in story of men who have mastered
their circumstances and won victories and gained for themselves undying
honor. Yet these exceptions do not break the rule
that poverty is a curse. The only man I ever heard
preach a sermon conscientiously on the blessings of
poverty was a preacher who had .$0,000 a year income
and of course he spoke from experience.
Instead of praising poverty, we should hate it and
do our best to make it preventable. Hut the unfortu
nate part of poverty is the thought that many of its
victims have gotten into their heads that they can
never get away from it.

With summer arrived shoals of summer bonnVrs at this most lovely
spot; a village which was yet not a village, since thure was no real nucleus
for the very long township, almost an eight-mile sqirjirc. "A sinless spot,"
the boarders said. "So close to nature, the great heart of nature! What
men, what women, must be in these remote farm houses." Deep surprise
was in' the eyes of the summer boarder as time soon disclosed the clutch
at tho dollar on all sides, the etty meannesses, the infinite gossip and
blander. These changed iha not, and the famuier boiirders, even when
returning for another summer, still talked of beauty, but dropped the
"sinless."
I Badly prepared food, chiotiy Jut, starch and sugar, otherwise pie,
doughnuts and pork, thna building anemic bodies unnaturally open to
self-indulgence in vice as well as food. Thus each child began life handi

Where the gleam remains tho loj' makes for tho city and there may
or may not be humanized, though the chances tra chiefly in favor of the
first. Where it has died, he turns into a heavy, dragging-footed tiller of
the soil, rcal life as it might be on the soil unknown, and lies down at
last in an ignoble grave, a human
wreck, when that grave should and

All evil, no matter of what order, may
finally come under the head of disguised
good. We name it evil and begin the
struggle to do away with it, and in that
struggle conies the knowledge that to-day
we see in our system of modern philan
thropy, in which. causes are first considered
and the necessity for all that will do away
with these causes made the matter of first
and deepest importance.
For the hill towns themselves and other
remote portions of New England, there has

"I have had the Idea for some time
past," writes Camille Flammarlon in
the Strand, "of sinking a shaft Into
the earth for tho express purpose of
scientific exploration, descending as
far beloW the surface ns the utmost
resources of modern science would
permit.
The first result would bo to obtain
an inexhaustible source of heat, which
might be distributed and applied to
industrial purposes. According to the
most authentic estimates the boiling
point will bo found at a depth of about
two mili.s.
"Without doubt we should also dis
cover springs of hot water, like those
which were found during the construc
tion of the Slmplon tunnel in 190:!,
with a temperature of 48 to 63 degrees
centigrade. We should also come
upon subterranean rivers and cas
cades which might be employed as a
motive power.
"The second result would be the ex
ploration of this unknown world Itself.
Who knows what curiosities of geol
ogy and palaeontology might bo re
voalcd by this investigation Into these
dark abysses of the earth? What
mines of Iron, of copper, of precious
metals such as gold, platinum, silver,
radium and of elements hitherto un
known and unsuspected?
"This idea has been forcibly re
called to my attention In consequence
of the recent earthquakes and the ex

suited to the builder's demands rather
than to the lot and Its surroundings.
Houses of this sort usually have sev
eral dark rooms and often are not
well-ventilated. In a great many case?
they are not much better than apart
ments. Of course this difficulty might
be avta'ded by making one fairly large
lot of two small ones, but frequently
the builder does not feel that ho can
afford a second lot, and he often fur
ther objects to the keeping of a largo
lawn. Itut to tho normal man tho
lawn is the chief joy of tho home.
The alternative usually is to adapt
tho house to tho lot, to sacrifice some
desired feature of tho Interior arrange
ment, or even a room or two, in order
to attain the really essential light and
air.
Now, the houso hero shown Is
adapted to a lot of small size, and yet
there will be plenty of room for light
and air. It Is especially suited for a
west frontage, giving the sunshine to
all tho bedrooms and shade to the liv
ing room, tho dining room, and the
kitchen. And every housewife will
agree that a shady kitchen Is one of
'
the greatest comforts Imaginable.
This Is a frame cottage, or bungalow,
all hough the exterior might bo treated
with rough boards and stained, or ce
ment plaster might bo used. It all
depends where the house is to be built
as to the exterior finish. The front
porch Is 25 by 6 feet, 6 Inches. Knter
Ing tho houso you pass Into a vestibule
which opens into the living room and
also Into the front bedroom. The
bedroms, of which there ore three, aro
12 by 10 in size. The living room Is
14 feet, 6 inches by 14 feet, and the
dining room Is two feet narrower. Tho
kitchen has a length of 14 feet, 6
inches and a breadth of 11 feet.

Not Their Fault.
A broad-minded dominie, whose par-.
Ish was near the headwaters of the
Susquehanna, bad among his parish
ioners a character who was more
punctual at the finning hole down the
river than he was at the church on
Sundays. Bright and early one Mon
day morning this Sabbath fisherman
called the preacher to the door and
presented him with a very fine' and
tempting string of pickerel. The dom
inie was very profuse with his thanks
for a gift that was Indeed welcome. '
"But, look here, parson," said the
man, still retaining the fish, "those
fish were caught ylsterday, and may
be your conscience won't le ye eat
em."
"Never mind that," said the dom
inie, stretching out his hand for the
string. "There's one thing certain;
the pickerel were not to blame."
One Was Enough for Johnny. '
The Sunday school lesson was from
that scripture which teaches that If
your brother strike you On one cheek,
you should turn the other also and en-
dure even for seventy times seven.
Johnny had listened to his teacher
very attentively, while she emphasized
this fact, and after the lesson the su
perintendent rose to make a few re
marks.
"Now, boys," he ald, "how many
times ought another boy to strike you
before you hit blm back?"
"Just about once!" promptly an
swered Johnny. Delineator.

of the trouble. She writes:
"My heart was so weak it could not

I would never breathe regain
