That happiness is found only when you look within , not with out. That love may be ever so great , but must also be wise , to grow. That a fool is never so foolish that he may teach another fool something. That to be poor without losing selfresppct or a sense of enjoy ment is a fine art. The kindness of any true sort must be expressed in terms of the recipient , not of the donor. That capability marks some men , and importance others , but that indispensability attaches to none. That friendship which is gen uine may invarible be recognised in that it is neither jealous nor selfish- That indolence among the rich is more to be condemned than ignorance among the poor. The rich know better. That intellectual worth is most clearly shown in , , the complete and accurate , knowledge of one's own capabilities. That mediocrity , provided it be persevering , accomplishes more than fitful talent. Hares and tortoises still run races.

Co-Qperates With Dealers. One of the unique methods of combating the catalogue house evil of which the country mer chant has been complaining for the past several years has been evolved by D. W. Reid of Falls City , Nebraska. The plan in short is this : Mr. Reid goes to a town and interviews the local merchants , getting certain ones to pledge that they will sell articles of cer tain values and class at the same price the catalogue houses will sell them for. These agreements he makes in the form of a pledge which he supplies to the local papers of the sections in which he is working in the shape of four-page supplements. The three pages of the supple ment not given to this pledge is given over to exposures of the mail order business and the stand ards of their goods. The feature of the mail order business for the past few years has been publicity , and Mr. Ried is combating them with their own weapons , and is taking this means to get this publicity into the homes where the mail order house is getting its support. lie has carried the war into the camp of the enemy and they have not been loath to make it merr } ' for him as a consequence , a large amount of correspondence having been sent out over the country to try and counteract the influence of the Reid cam paign. The catalogue houses have paid little attention to the wails of the jobbers in convention but the } ' seem to be able to give a good deal of attention to the new scheme which is bringing this system against themselves. Mr. Reid is accompanied by Mrs. Reid who is working with the ladies in different localities on the evils of the formation of soap clubs.

It 10 always hard for a child to believe that anyone lies in bed all night without sleeping. In following the footsteps of oome men you find the tracks rather small. Its \ a mistake lo pin fnith on speculation or roseate promises. Idleness is more pleasant in contemplation than in fact. Complete ownership does not at all times bring complete satis faction. A desire for gaudy attire often is seen in seemingly modest per sons. Believing a thing does not mean that you regard it as a positive truth. Imaginary mportauce has the merit of producing something like satisfaction. There is a way of telling a story which gives it the semblance of credibility. The emotions can be so worked on as to turn hopelessness into rosy anticipation. HappineSb is an nbstiact proposition - position that is applicable to al most any case it may lie applied.

She leaned back against the trcq trunk and watched a squirrel busy on u neighboring branch. Harrington noticed thai aho seemed to Imvo entirely forgotten his presence , unless thcro was merely ! a comfortable consciousness of the 'fact that ho was there if she needed him the knowledge that she had nothing to fear from n chance tramper or theovcrfearcd snake possibility. It was rather an nuusnal thing jfor a woman to bo forgetful of Hart ( ringlon ho could not decide wlioth- . jer the situation interested him or ipiqttcd his masculine vanity. "When you Imvo satisfactorily ex amined the trees , the squirrel , the water falling over those stones , and 'Imvo ' formed your opinion conccrn- jing the entrancing horizon , " ho said in n slightly injured lone , "wouldn't iyou like to talk to mo pome ? " She took oil' her hat and laid it [ on the grass beside her with a sigh of satisfaction. "None of those things are more interesting to me , Diogonos , than ' 'the study of you , 1 assure you , " her lips curled with a teasing smile , and there was n touch ot fun in her eyes. "Sometimes 1 almost conclude ithat 1 positively dislike you , " ho said , amiably , taking long puffs at his cigar , "I never cared much for women but in this ease there is a stronger element , f believe it almost approaches being dislike. ( She wriggled bor blonde bend into ( i more comfortable pose against the tree trunk and beamed upon him as jf he bad said something truly grati fying. "It's an achievement Diogones to have inspired you with a strong fecl- jng of any description I'm prond of myself.

Didn't you know , Miss Burton , that women ought to make themselves or attractive it's uncanny for them to go in for psychology , analysis or vivisec tion. " "Attractive ? 0 Diogones yon arc awfully lacking in manners T was taking solid comfort and con tent in the belief that the powers that be bad made me .attractive and was amusing myself with your so-called vivisection merely as a side issue.

" "Hverylhing , my dear man , de pends upon the point of view , " she pinned on her hat , and turned to wards the path leading to 'the hotel. That afternoon Harrington lay , half asleep , his magazine over his face , in the shade of the bushes Unit grew back of the summerbouse. "Virginia you are acting shame fully , " ho heard DarreU's voice. So be called her Virginia , did ho ? And lu > allowed it ! Virginia evidently enjoyed the idea of acting shamefully for he heard a little ripple of merriment.

A remarkable mode of incarccra- | tion is practiced ly the hornbills , birds with immense bills and horny' ' crests , which inhabit southern Asia , the Malayan islands and central and' ' southern Africa. In most , if not * all , species the brooding female ia walled up in a hollow tree and fcdJ by her mate. She remains confined in her prison until the eggs are hatched , and in some species until the young birds are able to fly. Meanwhile the mother has become temporarily incapable of flight , aa she has moulted or , at least , shed all her wing feathers during her captivity. Hut the male is inde fatigable in providing for his fam ily , and is said to work so hard that he is reduced almost lo n skeleton at Hie end of the brooding season. TRIBUTE TO CHEF. The late John Price Wetherill of Philadelphia had the reputation of giving the best dinners and serving the best wines of any Pennsylvania i Mr. Wetherill had a certain odd , quaint humor. At a dinner that he gave last year the fish course was un usually good. He praised his chef ardently , concluding : "But he is best of all with fish. Why , he pre pares fish so exquisitely that from the frying pan they give him admiring - ' ing and grateful looks. " MOTHER A POWERFUL ALLY. "And how can you be sure of go ing to heaven ?
