Don't run to the doctor too often. Hie average mistake will give you less trouble if you come right out slid sdniit It. Some people waste s lot of the pres ent in thinking what they would do if they could live their Ilves over. Good luck mid merit always travel together in one team and bad luck and worthlessness always in another. When mother goes to visit her daughter she takes no party dresses, but you bet she takes her kitchen aprons. If a woman's voice is sweet depends largely u|hhi whether she is calling us to dinner or to get out of bed iu the morning. When a woman reads of a horse “ch.iiuping restively on its bit" she doesn't know exactly what it means, but she feels that she often dot's it.— Atchison Globe. The Governor's Wife. "Two men in Buffalo," says a state official, “recently had a heated argument over the question whether the wife of a governor of a state bad an official title. One man contended that •be should lie addressed as 'Mrs. Governor So-and-so.' while the other stoutly insisted that she was simply ’Mrs. Blank, wife of Governor Blank.’ Finally they agreed to submit the question to the first man they should meet. He proved to tie an Irishman. The esse was put before him, and he was asked for a decision. “ ’Nuytiier of yez is right,’ said the Irishman after a moment's reflection. ’The wife of a governor is a governess.’ ” —Collier’s Weekly. Deaf as an Adder. The expression "deaf as an udder” is from tile I‘sal ms of David, where it appears in the following form: “Their poison is like the poison of serpents. They are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear. which will not harken to tlie voice of charmers, charming ever so wisely.’” East Indian travelers tell us that there is a widely prevailing aupcratition in the east to the effect that botli the viper and the asp stop their ears when the charmer is uttering his incantations or playing ids music by turning one ear to tlie ground and twist.ng the point <rf the tail into the other. Hail Teeth ansi Cancer. Walter Whitehead, tlie well known English surgeon, believes it possible that earner may lie due to bad teeth. Addressing tlie students of the Victoria Dental hospital, lie said that to drain, trap and ventilate a house for n man with bad teeth was waste of money, for lie polluted tlie purest air as lie breathed it and contaminated tlie most wholesome food as be ate it.

TOBACCO SMOKE. TPr Nesaoe Thai Some nt II la Hlaa mid Attrnr hr«>i Smoke conalaU of minute particles of solid or liquid mutter stlspeudisl In tlie air. and Ita color depends partly upon tlie chemical coiixtltutlon of aticli particles, but also largely upon their uize.

IN effect* can also lie traced in tlie cane of the two kinds of tolmcro •moke, imxlitled by tlie murky Huts of tlie carbonaceous product*. The smoke given off from tlie heated surface of tlie burning tobacco in tlie bowl of tlie pipe i-oiisists of matter all of which i has been highly heated and very fully ' oxidized and decom|m«ed. it consists mainly of exceed!ngl.i small, solid particles, exhibiting by virtue of their fliniilluess a bluish color. Ou Hie other hand, that smoke which has lieen drawn through Hie tolmcco Into tlie mouth of the smoker curriers with it n relatively large Quantity of water and hydrocarbon. which are condensed upon the solid particles above mentioned The relatively large size of such purtides explains the well known grayish color of tlie smoke which issues from tlie mouth of Hie smoker. GREEK SUPERSTITIONS. Some of the OVj VI ,1 holos lent Hvlicfa Mill Prevail. “Some of tlie superstitious of tlie old mytiioiogic religion still prevail among the peasant classes in tjiisse,’’ said a native of tiiat country. “Nor are the educated classes without such beliefs, such as Hint harm ensues from looking at tlie moots over tlie right shoulder. Tlie belief In tin* three fates the evil eye. tlie vampires and tlie nercids is general. Dressed in black and appear ing as old women, tlie fates are supposed to come down from Olympus three days utter the birth of a child and to hold u meeting to determine its fate. Consequently a table containing many dainties is set out for their iu visible enjoyment. Especial care Is taken lest tlie okl ladies be enraged at not having enough good things to ent. “No woman desires to be left alone after her child is born, believing that the ugly old women may liecome Jealous and wreak some awful vengeance. Smut is there'ere smeared on the faces of tlie youngsters so that this jealousy may not become excited. “Tlie young Athenian women frequently go to the ancient tombs near Athens and. calling upon the fates, liet them to reveal tlie identity of their future husbands, singing, 'From tlie top of Olympus, where an* tlie fates, where is my own fate?’ ”• Washington Post. THINKING TO DEATH. Melancholy Brooding That In Than DiMeaae. Thousands of people actually think themselves to dentil every year by allowing their minds to dwell on morbid subjects. The idea that one lias some incipient disease in one’s system, tlie thought of financial ruin, that one is getting on in life without Improving prospects any of these or a thousand similar thoughts may carry a healthy man to a premature grave. A melancholy thought that fixes itself upon one’s mind needs as much doctoring as physical disease. It nfleds to lie eradicated from tlie mind or it will have just the same result as a neglected disease would have. Every melancholy thought, every morbid action and every nagging worry should lie resisted to the utmost, and tlie patient should lie protected by cheerful thoughts, of which there is a bountiful store In every one’s possession. Bright companions are cheaper than drugs and plaster*. Tlie morbid condition of mind produces a morbid condition of body, and if tlie disease does happen to be in tlie system It receives every encouragement to develop. We need more mental therapy.- Suggestions. Perfumes ■■ Disinfectants. It is a well known fact that workers among lavender beds seldom take infectious ailments, and those engaged in the perfumery trade are singularly free from them. A good perfume in tlie old days was considered an excellent disinfectant. The doctors then used to curry walking sticks witli silver or gold knobs. These opened with I a lid. disclosing a tiny vinaigrette box. which tlie physician held to ids nose | when entering rooms containing patients ill with any infectious diseases. Not Too Fnst. “Don't you sometimes think we are ; living too fast?” | “No. I used to, but I soon cured tiiat impression. I moved out to a suburb and rode in to work every day on an accommodation train.”—Exchange. Men Mustn't He Selfish. A man should f<*el tlie obligation to . bring gayety into tlie Ilves of nil those whom he loves. The fact tiiat the routine of the day has been dull , doesn't excuse him for being glum mid silent at Ills evening nrjul.—Arthur S. Pier. <lon*t Whine. “It doesn't pay to talk 'bout you troubles," said Uncle Elien. “De mo' you hollers 'bout gettln’ cheated In a mule trade de less chance you lias of workln' de mule off on sonielxxiy else.” • Washington Star. Money may not make tlie mnn. but that doesn't prevent the man from trying to make money.
