Sir Edward Morris, premier of Newfoundland, 53 years old today. Henry J. Cloran, member of the Senate of Canada, 57 years old today. . t Knowing the Great Men, Mr.: Browning himself once, told me how important and interesting he thought it that the young should have, as it were, landmarks in their lives by at least seeing great men who belonged to an earlier generation. "Once." he said, "I was walking In the streets of Paris with my son, who was then a little boy. We saw an old man approaching us in a long, loose. rather shabby coat and with a stooptag, shuffling attitude and gait Touch that man as yon pass him,' I whispered to my little son. 'I will tell yon why afterward. The child touched him as be passed, and I said to him, Now, my boy, you will always be able to remember in later years that you once saw and touched the great Beranger.' " Dean Farrar in "Men I Have Known." ' An Even Thing. The late Sydney Mudd of Maryland was on a train going from Washington to his home when a man who had had too much to drink sat down beside him. The passenger blinked at Mudd for a moment; then he lurched over and asked, "Shay, wash your name?" "My name Is Mudd," he replied. Said the other: "You got nothin' on me. My name's Dennis." Saturday Evening Post Thick ' "How did you find the weather la! London?" asked the friend of the returned traveler. "You don't have to find the weather in London," replied the traveler. "It bumps into you at every corner." Life. To give tip of your own win what would cost too much in time and strength is not failure It is success. A clinical thermometer swallowed by a patient in a Mississippi hospital when recovered thirty-six hours later, without injury to either patient or thermometer, registered 104 degrees. DIET AND HEALTH HINTS By D. T. J. ALLEN J Food Specialist DANGER IN SELF DOCTORING "Self doctoring with operation or drugs," says a contributor to 'Life and Health,' Is often selfmurder." There Is an old proverb, that at forty every man Is either a physician or a fool. Everybody needs to know some law to avcld serious mistakes, nd efficiency no one can afford and the same Is true of the laws of health, especially diet, but in a case of serious Illness or in an effort to attain the best health and efficiency no one can afford to be without the benefit of the advice of a physician. The modern Ideal of the medical profession Is preventive medicine, in accordance with the proverb that "an ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure," and the best eervlce of the physician can be given In advice on the maintenance of health, which Is the aim of these Hints. iCopyrtxht.

Honesty A nd Progress.
German steamship companies are going after the ocean passenger traffic by advertising "safety, not speed." Their plan will win. It will also force all their competitors to put safety first in the conduct of their business. Competition is the most potent factor for good there is. It is stronger than'statues or creeds. It pays to be honest, and sooner or later the business world learns it does. It pays to be square and decent and clean. The man who is not eventually goes down and out, because he is transgressing a natural and a spiritual law, and compensation gets in its work. " The knowledge that intemperance will unfit one physically and mentally and anally lose him his position is the greatest temperance law we have. It is the law of competition in the labor field. The knowledge that the most efficient and the moBt loyal men gravitate to the employer who gives the best working conditions and treats his employes fairest is operating to improve industrial conditions more than legislation. Moralists may pride themselves upon the influence they have had with legislative bodies, but the hard facts are that it has been the business and labor world, convinced of the truth that honesty pays, that have been responsible for the general movement upward in legislation. One man trying to see how square and fair he can be with those who have business with him will elevate a whole community, even in the absence of laws. And every community has such men. Washington Times.
Mayor Gaynor--Wit.
Those who imagine the age of letter-writing has past have overlooked Mayor Gaynor of New York. The mayor has a most remarkable correspondence. Apparently half the population of New York pen their troubles to the city's executive, and he personally replies to each correspondent. Some of his letters are classics. In each sentence wit and good, hard "horse-sense" radiate. When Jack Law wrote to the mayor asking permission to jump off a skyscraper with a parachute he was informed that if he wanted to jump it was impossible to imagine anyone offering an objection. A few days ago a gardener wrote to the mayor protesting because the Department of Charities had refused to purchase his carrots" because they were not of the same size. The gardener received the following reply: "Your letter with regard to the rejection of your vegetables is at hand. I must say I deem the condition that the carrots be of one size as whimsical. What difference does it make whether they are of uniform size or not? They may look nicer but will taste no better either to men or horses. You would have to have a good many acres of them to cull out any considerable number of the same size. Or maybe they think there is some way of growing carrots all of the same size. And the condition that your new cabbage be white in the head is another extraordinary notion. New cabbages are rather green. Late cabbages get white in the head after a while. I fear those who are rejecting your vegetables never raised either cabbages or carrots or anything else. Try them again, and see what they say. How would it do if we send them all out on a farm for a year so that they might at least learn the difference between their knee and their elbow about vegetables? W. J. GAYNOR, mayor."
HE SAW THE POINT. And For That Very Reason He Didn't Join In the Laugh. "They" were chatting in the smoking room of a little Konlnklijke Paketvaart Maatscbapplj coaster, on a two months' run among the islands below the equator, when some one speaking of the Malay peninsula some one else said, "My impression of the Straits Settlements can be summed up in a single picture a strong black man, standing in the center of a muddy stream, trying to split a rock .with a shirt" Now this always provokes a laugh; it is venerable and Infallible. But to my surprise, said Frederick S. Isham, the novelist one of the smoking room contingent, on this occasion it partially failed. What was the trouble7 The delinquent the one man out of seven who didn't laugh. ?aa sallow, saturnine and English. "What's the matter, old chap?" asked the novelist "Don't you see the point or are you waiting until tomorrow to wake up to it?" The other man turned his head wearily. "See the point? he said sadly. "I should think I did. I ought to. I," tragically, "am the man who owned the shirt" Then we, knowing he had lived twenty-fire years in the orient became silent; our laughter ceased. A sympathetic melancholy descended upon us. Englishman or not we took him to our heart of hearts and made a brother of him. Baltimore American. "THIS DATE

A SOLEMN MOMENT.
When the Great Mail Steamer Was Stopped In Midooean. The great steamship wavered; the screw revolved more slowly and gradually ceased to turn. There is something uncannily disquieting about an unmoving ship in the middle of the ocean, and for a few moments there were fearsome rumors among the second and third cabin passengers. The steerage, being nearer to the heart of things, understood what was going on. : The deck stewards went about explaining, and as they explained the passengers moved to points of vantage. Then all was very quiet quiet even for the sea. s A man whom the first cabin passengers knew to be a famous bishop stepped down from among them. A heavy, clumsy, grewsome bundle was brought up. Over it the bishop, with bared and reverent head, intoned the service for those who are buried at sea. As the bishop spoke the words of committal, "We therefore commit his body to the deep, to be turned into corruption, looking, for the resurrection of the body, when the sea shall give up its dead," a door in the bulwarks was lifted for the bundle and let down again, the ship began to move, sluggishly at first, then smoothly as was its wont, and the passengers went back to their games, their books and their lovemaking. The greatest event in the dead stoker's career was over. He had stopped his majesty's mail. Exchange. IN' HISTORY"
Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.
HIS DAY Or WRATH. The other day in New York a man committed suicide because he was out of a job, out of money, and no prospects. Which is sad, but not uncommon. But this man, mind you, was no poor, miserably paid worker who was barely able to keep soul and body together and who threw up his hands because he had sever had a fair chance. For years he had received a large salary unusually large. Had he exercised reasonable economy and foresight respecting his finances he easily might have provided for the proverbial rainy day. Instead, he and his family had lived at "the top of the pot." They occupied luxurious apartments and denied themselves nothing. A crash was due. When the big income stopped the family fell In one week from plenty to pauperism. And tbii man knew all the time. lie knew the day would come when he would step across the dead line which marked his usefulness to his firm and that his salary would stop. Strange, Is it not, that a man will face the certainty of disaster and come to the day of wrath without an effort to save himself or his family? He sported with fate. And he is a type. There are a lot of people like him who receive big salaries and stand always on the verge of ruin. They live up to every cent of their income. And in some cases they spend it In advance. Which is unfair to others. Somebody must bear the burden of the support of these people when they go thus blithely and unthinking to their end. Even when the bead of the family tries to cut the Gordian knot by cutting his throat, there is the family. J. J. Hill says: "Whether you can succeed in business or not depends upon your answer to the question, Can you save money ?" Moreover You can succeed neither in business nor In life unless you save money. The saving may be small or it may be invested in some form of insurance or otherwise, but The difference between serene old age and dependency maybe despairis to be found in the disposition to use self denial in putting away a part of your income. PURE FOOD LABELS. They Were Used In Palestine as Early as the Year 850 B. C. Professor George A. Reisner of Harvard university discovered among some speciments of earliest Hebrew writing in the excavations of the city of Samaria, in Palestine, a most interesting record of the first pure food laws' in history He also found ancient writings dealing with the first instance on record of the keeping of wines in a government warehouse under bond. Dating back to the period of King Ahab, 850 B. C, these inscriptions are considered to be one of the greatest finds of the Harvard Palestinian ex peditions which delved into the city of Ahab and Omri for three years. They found labels on wine and oil jars. These mention the year in which the wine was laid down in the cellars of the palace storehouse, and they state the vineyard from which the wine came, important facts that are recognized equally well by vintners today. On the oil jars the label runs, "A jar of pure'oiL" with the mention of the district from which the oil came. The bits of pottery on which the descriptions were written were not parts of the jars, but were evidently intended to be attached to the necks of the receptacles. Just as are labels or seals at the present time. New York World. WOOL, SILK AND LINEN. Tests That Will Determine the Quality of the Fabrics. , If you wish to find out whether the material sold to you as all wool or all silk is really so make a 5 per cent solution of caustic potash and in this boil your sample of silk or wool. If the entire sample is consumed in the boiling your material is what it . pretends to be; if there is a residue that residue is cotton. The caustic solution consumes the animal fibers. If you wish to find out whether the silk that seems to be heavy silk is weighted with mineral burn the sample and the ash will show you bow much mineral weighting there is. The pure silk will be wholly consumed. In buying supposed linen goods of toweling or suiting, dip your sample Into concentrated sulphuric acid for two minutes and wash it out carefully. The cotton will have been consumed, the linen will have resisted the action of the acid. This test is one that should be made with precaution, as vitriol is not a thing to be tampered with. Mary Heaton Vorse in Success Magazine. Right and Wrong Exercise. The word "exercise" covers a multitude of sins. It is a very loose term used for any form of physical exertion, be it sweeping out a factory, walking home from the office or lifting dumbbells. To say "Exercise is beneficial' is a very inaccurate remark and a very dangerous belief. It is necessary to distinguish between right and wrong exercise. As often as not big muscles In arms, chest or legs are a calamity, for they actually shorten life unless the vital organs are proportionately developed to take care of them. Men are constantly wearing out their hearts and arteries with some form of violent work they call "exercise. If continued they would die of arteriosclerosis. A pretty good general rule' for these men to go by is to take no form of exercise after they are grown up that they cannot keep on with until they are old men. J. Rdmund Tbompeoa In Nation Magazine.-

A dainty use for discarded Easter egg baskets such as children have in quantities is to turn them into pincushions. Gild the baskets with gold paint Two coats are usually sufficient. Stuff with wool and cover the top with colored satin, over which is stretched gold lace. Inside the edge of the basket concealing the sewing of the cushion, add a wreath of tiny ribbon flowers in rich colorings. These cushions are equally lovely If the baskets are silver and silver lace is used over a color or white cushion top. Helpful Hint. A good way to avoid getting the fingers inky if one has a tendency that way is to save the fingers of discarded kid gloves and keep them in the writing desk, slipping one over the middle finger and another, if necessary, over (he forefinger, when sitting down to write. This often saves time and an noyance when a note has to be written just before going out FLOOR VARNISH 'VT'OU can have floors as beautiful as any of your neighbors.
