SJ t Vl'V s V k A GENIAL SMILE. Who can tell thevalue of a genial smile? It costs the giver nothing, but is beyond price to the erring and relenting, the sad and cheerless, the lost and forsaken. It disarms matice, subdues temper, turns ha tred into love and paves the dark est path with sunlight The Ancient Mayas. It is urged by au archaeologist that the Mayas, who once inhabited Amer ica, had a civilization as far advanced as that of any early people except the Greeks. The dwellers in the jungles of Yuvitan, Guatemala and Honduras are beiicved to be their descendants. ' Making Toast. When making toast you will improve it both in taste and digestibility by laying the slices of bread in the oven for a little while before putting them over the coals or in the toaster. They will toast better and more evenly for this adrance treatment Marking Linen. When using marking ink to put ini tials, etc., on linen do your work first with an ordinary lead pencil and then use the marking ink over this work. The pencil will prevent the ink from spreading and giving the linen a blot ted appearance. Marengo.

Barney Barnato before the tragic termination of his career was widely known because of his large, fortune won in mining ventures. His rapid accumulation of wealth was popularly attributed to luck, but luck of the per sistent variety usually rests upon a more solid basis than mere chance. An insight to Barnato's methods Is af forded by an incident recently related by A. A. Blow, an American engineer once in Barnato's employ. After an exhaustive examination of a mine whose purchase was under considera tion Blow prepared an elaborate and voluminous report It was accompa nied by maps and selections and was a piece of work of which the engineer felt that he could be justly proud. When it was banded to Barnato to read, however, the latter laid it aside unopened. "Tell me about it" he said. Blow proceeded to make an oral re port Barnato dozed. Finally he exclaim ed: "I employed you because I think you know something about this business, and I do not Now, I do not want to hear all of this scientific rot about this mine. All I want you to tell me is whether it is good business?' Blow told him "No." "Then that settles it," said Barnato. "You are willing to accept the respon sibility of turning down this property at the price offered?" "Yes," was Blow's reply, "but I want you to examine the reports, maps. . assays, plans, eta, and see the rea sons I have for my conclusions." "Why should I do this?" Barnato in-' quired. "You tell me that it is not 'good business.' And as I cannot un derstand your report why should I waste my time on anything that is not good business?" Moody's Magazine. A WHITE HOUSE JEST. .General Harrison's Objections to Monuments to "Vest" As a general thing, one of the lirt duties of the wife of an iucouiing pres ident and one of the things she usual ly enjoys heartily is to attend to such rearrangements and refnrnlsliings of the White House as may Ik necessary iii advisable according to her person al taste, tin: size and customs of her family, and o on. I remember one occasion, writes Colonel William II. Crook in the Phil adelphia Saturday Evening Post, when Mrs. Harrison had finally decided upon sonic slight architectural changes and had brought her architect's plans to the president and asked his opinion of tliein. General Harrison studied the drawings with rare and noticed that several niches were left, each plain!. .narked. At last he said: "Well, my dear, here is a place for Lincoln, and here is a place for Grant's bust And you have left three places for Vest" Then he add ed, with well assumed indignation, "I am decidedly opposed to so many monuments to Vest in the White House!" Mrs. Harrison hastened to explain what her husband, of course, knew all the time that the word "Vest." was the architect's contraction for vesti bule, of which there were three on the plans, whereupon the president said he was satisfied and handed the draw ings back to her, with a twinkle In his keen blue eyes. A FIERCE ANATHEMA. The Pious Wish a Woman Flung at Jean Paul Richter. Jean Paul Richter once observed that if a lady officer wanted to give the word "Halt!" she would do it in the following strain: "You soldiers, ail of you, now mind what I say. I order you as soon as I have done speaking to stand still, every one of you, on the spot where you happen to be. Don't you hear me? Halt, I say, all of you!" Upon this a strong minded woman made the following comment: "Now. M. Jean, it was an unlucky day on which you wrote that sentence. May you never hear anything but that lit tle, concise word Xo from every rosy pair of lips you meet May you halt wifeless through life. May your but tons be snappish, your strings knotty and your stockings full of holes. May your bootjack be missing, your feet corny and your shaving water cold, your razor dull, your hair stand up. your collar lie down. May your beard be porcupiny, your whiskers thinly settled and your mustache curl the wrong way. May your coffee be mud dy, your toast smoky and your tea water bewitched, ami, with a never dying desire for affection, may you crawl through creation a meek, miser able, nasty, forlorn, fidgety, fussy, ri diculous, ruined, dejected old bachelor." High Sounding Names. Writing in his Paris paper on the, growing custom on the part of parents to give their children "high sounding" names, Clement Vautel says: "When the boy is old enough to understand he rebels at being compelled to carry through life a name like Anacreou or Ilipparcluis. But he has company. I know a deputy whose parents named him Franklin. The name in itself is not so bad. but he has two brothers. Voltaire and Socrates respectively. Fancy this scene in the nursery: Franklin howling because Voltaire has broken his toy. while Soerates laughs at both. Tiie mother as peacemaker shouts, 'Stop. Soerates. or you'll be punished!" In a narrow street in Mar seilles one broiling hot day I saw a woman spanking a child, shouting in anger, 'Yon naughty Epaminondes; I'll teach, you. Epaminondes! I could nev er think of the Theban general after that without laughing." Her Blunder. "What makes you think she's unrnl- hired?" "She thinks Ibsen's plays are stupid. "Well, a lot of people think so." "Yes, but she says so." Cleveland fteader. Repartee. "We need brains in this business, young man." "You needn't tell me that, sir. Your business shows it" Baltimore Amerl -;& HER HOMEMADE HAT. It Breught a Prepesal .That- Site Prematly Turned Dewn. The bohemians were making merry In the dim lit studio discussing the lat est novel that one of their number was trying to write, the bratal editor who bad refused the best article ever writ tena masterpiece of the host be moaning the nonintelligence of the art critics, execrating the mercenary the atrical manager and utterly repadlat lng the general public the rast horde at the Philistines. By way of diversion the painter of pastel portraits said to the bachelor maid: "That's a charming hat yon have on. Who else would know enough to com bine turquoise and old rose?. You have a genius for color. What a pity you only write!" "Glad yon like my bar, anyway. I made it myself. I trust It will only enhance its merit in your eyes to know that it cost me but SO cents.' "Impossible!" screamed all the bohe mians with one breath, ceasing their arguments In order to take notice of the vastly becoming creation which capped the bachelor maid's brown hair. "Fifty cents, did yon say?" asked the man who once wrote a poem aye, and had it published. Then rising, placing his hand above his heart, bowing low and solemnly, he said: "Fair one, will yon be my wife? All my life I have been looking for a woman who coukl trim her own bats for nothing. Pray be mine." "Nixie!" scoffed the bachelor maid cruelly. "All my life I have been look ing for a man who would be willing and able to pay $50 for my hats." New York Press. FIGHTING LIFE'S BATTLE. Of Things That Must Be Dene Tackle the Hardest First I know a veryjsuccessful man who early In life resolved that no matter how hard anything might be or how seemingly impossible for him to do he would do It if the doing would prove of value to him, says Orison Swett Marden in Success Magazine. He made this the test and would never allow his moods or feelings to stand In the way of his judgment He forced himself in the habit of prompt ly doing everything, no matter how disagreeable, if it would further his advancement People who consult their moods, their preferences or their ease never make a great success in life. It is the man who gets a firm grip on himself and forces himself to do the thing that will ultimately be best for him who succeeds. The man who goes through life picking out the flowers and avoid ing the thorns iu his occupation, al ways doing the easy thing first and delaying or putting off altogether if possible the hard thing, does not de velop the strength that would enable him to do hard things when necessity forces them upon him. It is pitiable to see young men and women remaining far below the place where their ability ought to have car ried them just because they dislike to do disagreeable things until compelled to. The best way always is to tackle the hardest things first Tee Public Fer Him. He was a mild mannered little man, short, with gray hair and spectacles. It was noon on Washington street and, as usual, the crowds were shov ing and pushing to get somewhere. The little man was trying to worm his way through the crowds. A well dressed woman, accompanied by a small boy, was mixed up in the crowd. She wanted to cross the street The boy stopped to look in a window. The lady reached down and grasped a hand, saying, "Take my hand, dear. "Not right here on the public street, she was startled to hear some one re ply. Looking down, she saw that she was clasping the hand of the very inoffen sive little man, who seemed to be much confused and embarrassed. "Sir," she said haughtily, "I don't want you. I want my son." Boston Traveler. The New and Old Geology. In its early history geology present ed two schools one Insisting on a doc trine of "catastrophes," the other on a doctrine of "uniformity." The for mer regarded the changes which have manifestly taken place in our planet as having occurred at epochs abruptly, while the other school, reposing on the great principle of the invariability of the laws of nature, insisted that af fairs had always gone on in the same way as they do now. It is hardly necessary to say that the latter theory has driven the old theory of catastro phe completely from the field. New York American. All Fixed.

A clergyman once heard an address, fr what promised to be, turn unex pectedly Into a challenge to a pie eat ing contest A young man, it seems, believed he could air his views upon certain sub jects in a convincing manner if allow ed to go before the multitude. He was given the chance and took the floor. "Brethren," he began, his face flush ing and his knees, beginning to quake, "br-br-br-brethren (pause), br-br-breth-brethren'(in despair), will you? If any of you want to eat bumble pie Just step up!" Newark Star. . Taken Dewn a Peg. While one thing essential to a cul tured lawyer Is a thorough knowledge of Latin, it is not necessary, said a judge, that he should parade his classi cal knowledge, for he might be "taken down a peg," as was the young lawyer who displayed bis learning before an Arkansas jury. His opponent replied: "Gentlemen of the jury, the young law yer who just addressed you has roam ed with Romulus, canted with Can tharides, ripped with Euripides, socked with Socrates, but what docs he know about the laws of Arkansas?" Case and Comment The Inns of Chancery. Most of the old inns of Chancery are no more. Clement's inn, where Fal staff and Shallow "heard the chimes at midnight;" Xew inn, of which Sir Thomas More was 'a member; Lyon's Inn, where Cobe once taught the stu dents; Furnlral's inn, where Charles Dickens lived; Thavies inn, which was one of the earliest of all the legal set tlements In London; Barnard's Inn, where Lord Chief Justice Holt was among the "principals" all these his toric places have "in the change and chance of time" disappeared from view. Staple inn remains in its an cent state by the good will of the in surance company that purchased it some twenty years ago. London Law Journal. Earnings of Writers. There are at least fifty writers in England who are making 1.000 a year each by their books. In this number it Is possible that there are a dozen who make incomes of 2.000 to 5,000 a year. Marion Crawford is said to have received 2,000 down for each of his novels, and he often turned, out three a year. Sir Walter Scott made 200,000 during his writing career. Al phonse Daudet received 40,000 for a single novel. Lew Wallace got in roy alties on "Ben-Hnr" and "The Prince of India" almost 80.000. For any of his stories Rudyard Kipling is reputed to charge 2 shillings a word. "Les Mis erables" brought Victor Hugo close on 16,000. T. P.'s London Magazine. An Eye to His Epitaph. Edmond de Goncourt. the French novelist, admitted that he worked with an eye to his epitaph, and be wanted the epitaph to endure for a long time. He records in his journal that "the thought that the world may perish, may not last forever, is one which oc casionally fills my mind with gloom. I should be defrauded by the destruc tion of this planet, for I have written only in the hope of eternal fame. A reputation lasting 10,000, 20,000, even 100,000 years, would be a poor return for the pains I have taken, the priva tions I have suffered. Under these conditions it would have been better to lounge aimlessly through life dream ing and smoking my time away." Chicago News. Life Insurance. Primarily life insurance is a co-operative plan to meet the default involved In the premature death of produc tive lives. A nonproductive life is not properly insurable. A life stamped with immorality is not insurable. A life somewhat impaired through defec tive family history or by individual weakness or disease, if that life at the same time is a productive life, is -insurable at a price. All of which brings us back to the same conclusion I. e., life insurance is a great social plan which merges the individual Into the mass and puts behind the frailty of man standing alone the Immeasurable strength of men standing together. Darwin P. KIngsley in Leslie's. An Altruistic Backslider. Because he was too soft hearted to ask his poverty stricken landlady to buy new rugs for his room the altruis tic young man bought several small rugs and spread them over the floor. Immediately after the next sweeping day she presented a bill for the week's expenditures. Items: Room rent, breakfasts, laundry and beating rugs, 25 cents. "Hello," said the altruistic young man, "what does this mean?" "Just what Ic says," she returned. "If folks must cover their floor with extra rugs they'll have to pay for beating 'em, that's all. I can't afford to do it for nothing." And from that moment altruism lost a disciple: Exchange. A Resourceful Community. "We didn't know what to do about Piute Pete," said the Crimson Gukb citizen.

Bostoa Transcript MEDICAL RESEARCH Romance ef the Dtsaavary a ana Cause ef Malaria. In the history of research are auny romances. Of the discovery that am Iarla was caused by BMaqnltoes, It la related now Dr. Low and Dr. Sam bon lived in the nularions Boaaan Campagna without qaialae, They re tired at sunset to a mosquito proof hut. with doable doors and windows of wire net. and they did not leave un til sunrise. The fact that they re malued immune, while the attendants, sleeping outside, contracted" malaria, confirmed the belief that the mos quitoes were responsible. But bow did they carry the disease? At first it was thought to be by wa ter. To settle the-question live mos quitoes which bad bitten infected peasants were, sent boaie and two members of the school submitted to be bitten by them. They both went down with malaria. Again, bow did the mosquitoes transmit the germ? By cutting sections of the proboscis the malarious parasite was found. It breaks through the skin of the probo 8is and Is transmitted at the time of the sting. From the first conjecture to the final proof was a series of care ful experiments, ending with the slic ing of the mosquito's proboscis. Now, this Is finer than fine hah. It Is nec essary to stop to think. For It la eas ier to imagine the triumph of the proof than the delicate operation tbatr produced it London Standard. LIGHTING BY GAS. It Was a Costly Process When It Was First Established. The first Incorporated gas company was the National Light and Heat Com pany of England, established in 1809. In America the first gas company was Incorporated In Baltimore In 1816, the second one in Boston In 1822, and the next one was the New York Gaslight company. Incorporated in 1823. Prior to 1830 the gas business of this country was nominal, but the price probably was responsible for its slow development From 1824 to 1828. says Moody's Magazine, the New York Gas light company sold gas to consumers at the rate of $10 a thousand cubic feet The first artificial illuminating gas was produced in England about 1726 by one Dr. Hales, but not until 178C was a practical test made. In that year the Earl of Dundonald of Scot land arranged an apparatus by which he lighted his caslic with gas. The same year William Murdock of Bir mingham. England, introduced gas as a light in bin workshops at Redruth and Cornwall. As Mr. Murdock was the first man to reap any commercial benefit from the discovery of the use of illuminat ing gas, he may properly be accredited as the father of modern public utili ties. In 1813 London bridge was illu minated by gas. and five years later gas was in general use throughout the main part of London. Red Letter Days. The origin of a "red letter day" has been traced back to the third century. Gregory, bishop of Caesarea. zealous for the conversion of pagans, found them unwilling to give up their cus tomary recreations at the festivals of their gods, so. taking a leaf out of their book, he instituted festivals In honor of saints and martyrs. This ex ample soon led to the Institution of holy days, now corrupted into holi days. In old almanacs all such holy days were set forth in red Ink, the rest being In black; hence the term "red letter day" for any notable occa sion. Others say that the origin of the expression is much more recent and is due to the fact that Saints' day. the 5th of November, the king's birthday and accession and King Charles' day were similarly marked off In red as holidays for the Bank of England, evi dently in the times of the later Stuarts. London Telegraph. Political Animosities. Political animosities today are sel dom carried Into private life. In the past just the opposite was the rule. "Coke of Norfolk" once stated that when he was a child his grandfather took him on his knee and said. "Now. remember. Tom, as long as you live never trust a Tory," and he used to add, "I never have, and, by George. I never will." G. W. E. Russell, too, tells of an eccentric maiden lady whom he knew in his youth who, having spent her life in the Innermost circles of aristocratic Whlggery. always re fused to enter a cab until she bad ex torted from the driver an assurance that he had never carried cases of In fectious disease, that he was not a Puseylte and that he was a Whig. London Graphic When the Press Was Restricted. Many of the restrictions that ham pered the influence of the press re mained in force until the close of the eighteenth century in England. It was not till that period that newspapers obtained the right to criticise the poli cy of ministers and of the king. Mr. Walter, the first editor of the London Times, was prosecuted for censuring the Duke of York. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $250, stand in the pil lory for an hour, be Imprisoned for a year and give security for bis good be havior for seven years. The order with regard to the pillory was can celed, but he had to serve his term in Jail. Same Thing. Mr. Simpson was reading the news paper. "Here's a Chicago man got into a drunken brawl and was stab bed to death." he said aloud. His wife glanced up from her knlt Ing and commented. "In son low saloon, I suppose."
