William a Curtis starts out the New Year by setting forth in jubilant terms the colossal wealth of the United States, vastly greater than that of any other country on the face of the earth. The showing he makes would b e more gratifying if it were possible to demonstrate that the distribution of this fabulous wealth had been fair and equitable. The absence of that element detracts from the value of the exhibit. riaying ana t-i»i«nit>g. | Muggins—You mustn’t mind my daughter’s mistakes. You know che plays entirely by ear.

The two having the most leisure were delegated by the other members to look for clubrooms. A week later they reported that they bad made a selection. "Where are the rooms?" asked the rest of the women. "On the third floor of this building,” said the bouse hunters, and they spread out on the table a number of exterior and interior views of the building they bad chosen. But their club associates refused even to look at the pictures. "If the rooms are on the third floor it isn't worth while to consider them even for a minute.” they said. "It is an unwritten law that all clubrooms dedicated to aesthetic and artistic pursuits must have an aerial location. Nothing below the eighth floor can be thought of. It is all right for political clubs and other organizations devoted to material interests to bouse themselves in first, second and third floors, but the higher the aims of any . society the higher the altitude de- • manded for its clubrooms.” > The house hunters looked sorely puzzled. "Why?” they asked. But not even the most enlightened woman present could tell why. "We only know that it is so,” they Baid. “Look up the location of all really soulful societies, and you’ll find that the law is thfully observed.”— Remember there are a few splendid bargains yet to b e had in china and cut glass at True and Runyon.

Look, but Do Not See. Passengers on a Staten Island ferrytwat were watching a large ocean liner that steamed slowly up New York bay. The steamer was too far off for her name to be made out, but she was flying the German flag. For the space of fifteen minutes a hundred pairs of eyes were fastened Intently upon the ship. After awhile the silence that prevailed on the deck of the ferryboat was broken by a woman’s voice. “Say,” she said, "what has become of that flag? It was there when we first began to watch the ship.” Excited by the woman’s exclamation, everybody in her immediate neighborhood put forth various conjectures as to the mysterious disappearance of the flag. “They took it down ten minutes ago,” volunteered a man finally. “Didn’t any of you folks sec them haul it in?” Everybody looked sheepish. It was a fact that no one else had seen it Although scarcely a glance had been diverted from the steamer during the greater part of the trip across the bay, the flag bad been hauled down under the passengers’ very eyes and only one man in the crowd had observed the maneuver.—New York Globe.

Jusserand, the French ambassador, called at, the state department to discuss the details of this arrangement and it is expected that it will be promulgated from the state department In the course of a day or two.

Washington, January 3. —Advocates of a ship subsidy are saying that the prospect of passing a subsidy bill at this session of congress is better than ever before. If a bill is passed it will not be a blanket bill of the FryeHanna type, applying to almost everything that floats, nor the broad measure which Senator Gallinger introduced last year, and which the house amended radically.

APPETITE OUB BEST GUIDE. It Will Not Lead U» Astray In tha Matter of Overeating. It Is the systematic practice of civilized people to thwart, pervert, defy and then abuse their appetites—with lamentable consequences. Let me briefly describe what this admirable guide of ours will do for us if it be given a chance. The appetite of the properly brought tip child is simply invaluable. A child needs a great deal of sugar, and if its appetite for this substance be regarded as reasonable and not a symptom of original sin the child wiU take just i bo much sugar as it needs, neither I more nor less. and will not gorge itself With sweets when It gets a ctaance. I am not talking at random, for I observe dally in a small child of my own, and It is itoe experience of all parents endowed with sufficient sense. The food which the child dislikes, such as fat Is the food which the child's stomach has the most difficulty in digesting. In adult life, if the appetite be not cheated by the cook, it is our constant mentor and guide and friend. When we are taking much exercise it is abundant When we take little exercise it diminishes, as it should. As old age comes on much less food la required and appetite correspondingly diminishes. In short at every period of life and In all circumstances a properly respected appetite will guide us In the fashion for which appetite was designed. But we are much too clever to be run by our instincts, are we not? We deprive the child of the sugar which it craves and then find it a little nuisance and a pig because It makes Itself ill with sweets. It is we who should be scolded and should squirm. When our own appetites fall we never dream of asking ourselves whether

this li a morbid failure due to illness or is a normal diminution telling us that wo do not need food at present or that we are not In a fit state at the moment to digest it When warm weather cornea most of u use every device of cookery in order to produce an artificial appetite, which we will then satisfy. Thereafter we will complain of the heat But since we have just piled unnecessary fuel on the furnace, can we wonder that we find hot weather oppressive? Then, as the years go on and we obtain more leisure and free cash, perhaps we are liable to devote ourselves more end more to the pleasures of the table, seeking ever new devices to promote that hunger which is the best sauce—the sauce which all other sauces are designed to produce. All doctors know the results. If we turn to the lower animals and observe how wisely and well their unvitiated appetites guide them we begin to see tlie point of the saying that "ignorance is bliss.”—C. W. Saleeby, M. D., F. R. S. Edin., in London Mirror.

The Last of the Plagues. One by one the plagues of Egypt are being abolished by science. The frogs were abolished long ago by the draintile. The fleas are checked by insect powder, and the darkness that could be felt has melted away before the arc light The sixth plague still remains In full glory. The fly is always with us. The great Dr. Radcliffe used tc declare that the three worst annoyances of life were smoke, flies and ir relevant questions.—Collier’s Weekly.

A Mistake. Not one of us, even the most good natnred, likes to have his mistakes pointed out We may appear not to mind corrections and accept them with a smile, but it is human nature to smart under correction, although some of us may be clever enough to conceal the smart; hence the fewer mistakes we call attention to in others the bet-1 ter. Two-thirds of the mistakes we make are trivial. Their correction is unimportant Why. then, notice them? Yet some people do, and do so constantly. A person speaks of having done a certain thing on Thursday, when in reality it was done on Wednesday. If no important point is involv- ! ed, why call attention to the mistake? What good does it do to have the exact day set right? It is a matter of no Importance, so why Insist upon correcting the trivial error? Stanch friendships have often been pricked by this needle of useless correction, i It is a great art, this art of learning to allow others to be mistaken when the mistake is unimportant Few learn it but those who do are among the most comfortable friends one can ! have.

Arbiters of Hairdressing. “I want to learn the latest thing in hairdressing,” said the visitor as soon as she landed in New York, “Take me to a hairdresser’s establishment, so' I can look things over.” “No, indeed.” said her New York friend. "We will go there after you know what you wish to buy, but the place to learn how to dress your hair is in the dry goods shops. All you have to do is to study the salesgirls' hair. It is always done in the latest mode, and they all do it alike, so you cannot mistake. Sometimes it is badly exaggerated, but. of course, you don’t have to copy that" “I didn’t know the shopgirls were your arbiters of fashion in New York.” “Not in all respects, but you see, hairdressing doesn’t cost anything. To have the latest styles in clothes or jewelry is expensive, but one can be a very howling swell in the matter of hair without its costing a cent Besides, they are usually restricted in the matter of gowns to plain black or possibly white blouses, so they take it ail out in doing their hair.**—New X«fk

OBITUARY. Ann Ada Teeple, daughter of Wil1 liam and Rosetta Teeple, was born January 19, 1892, in St. Marys town : ship, died December 11, 1907, aged 15 years, 10 months and 22 days. From childhood, she manifested a i spirit of loving obedience to her parents and delighted in the association of the home. Her older sister and she were inseparable companions. For her mother she ever wished to do , the things that would please. Her brothers were the pride of her life. I She graduated from the eighth grade last year and had entered upon her high school course, looking eagerly j forward to the time when she might take her place among the teachers of the county. On Friday, December , 6 she took ill and did not go to school as usual, but nothing serious | was apprehended. She did not take ' to her bed until Saturday afternoon. . The family thought she had a severe cold, but during Saturday night, the symptoms became acute. Sunday

morning Dr. Christy was called, reaching her bedside at five o'clock. He at ■ once pronounced the disease laryngitis, i an acute inflamation of the larynx? This condition continued for three days, extending to the bronchial tubes and finally resulting in her death. Reared in a Christian home, she Ipew and loved to do the right. When the last hour had come she called her little brother to her side and said “I want you to be a good boy, Dan.” Her last words to her father were “I want to go to heaven” and so she has gone out into the unknown,where God alone can guide. She was but a child as yet, stirred by the womanhood. Sorrow had not made her heart heavy, life was still pure and fresh as God gives it, but once to each of us. Not for her wern the pangs and heartaches of this old world. Her life has known only the love and protecting care of a home, j She leaves to mourn her departure | a father, mother, four brothers, one sister and her aged grandparents.
