THE SUMMER MAN. He wears a gaudy blazer, and a dinky hat to match, And a silken shirt ot soft and every night: And a pair of flannel trousers with the bottoms turned 'way up That he creases and he pipe-clays tvery night. His socks would make the colors of the spectrum faint and pale, To class them with the rainbow Isn't wrong. His shoes are tied with ribbons that are quite an inch In width, And he guzzles ice cream soda all day long. His cheek is round and rosy, and is innocent of fuzz. His hair is fine and fluffy as a girl's, He'd wear-it in a pompadour (he'd puff it if he dared. Or to coax it into cunning little curls). His belt is patent leather, and his tie is emerald green. He can turkey trot and trill the latest song. He has the candy habit, and he haunts the picture shows, And he guzzles ice cream soda all day long. New York Sun.

A SENSIBLE FAD. The public manifests as much interest in life today as it ordinarily exhibits toward an automobile race, the financial gymnastics of Wall street, or the baseball score. Various well meaning folk set about devising complex methods of making their own lives less complex. They are determined to lead the simple life, even if they have to be more artificial than they were before. It may not induce many to give up their automobiles, and yachts and stock gambling, but it may give some consolation to millions who have not any of these things to give up. Anyway works of philosophy are read not to learn what to do with our successes so much as to furnish ourselves with consolation for our fail- . ures. The newest" of fads is the oldest of philosophies. But that there is nothing new in it does not detract its value. All real truth Is old. That it be dressed in style suited to the time is all that can be expected. There can be no harm in this generation's sudden interest in the great truths agreed upon by Christ, Moses and Confucius and Buddha, and all the , other great masters of the secrets of j iiylugUt Jtnay Je difficult to fit ! the ainiiara truths 'into round holer

of modern life, but there can be no J harm in trying. Since we must have fads It is good now, and then to have a fad to some purpose. It may not regenerate the world but it may help a little, to have us all give even passing thought to the facts that the "Napoleon of finance" who sacrifices health, friendship, family, conscience and all his generous impulses to a mere material success is paying a high price for something of poor v value, that the ' society woman who finds berself In a condition of nervous prostration at the end of the social season, gives too much for her amusement., that the politician who sacrifices his honor for notoriety of a paltry office would have derived more pleasure and profit from self-respect, and that the Individual who can find satisfaction only in gratifying his sensual appetites is as wretched as any other kind of slave.

Charity of Two Brothers Led to the Founding of the Temple. Once, so runs the legend, there lived In far Judean hills two affectionate brothers tilling a common farm together. One had a wife and a houseful of children; the other was a lonely man. One night in the harvest time the older brother said to his wife: "My brother is a lonely man. I will go out and move some of the sheaves from my side of the field over on his so tb when be sees them In the morning h heart will be cheered by the abundance." And be did. That same night the other brother said to his workmen: "My brother has a houseful and many mouths to fill. 1 am alone aud do not need all this wealth. I will go and move some of my sheaves over on his field so that be shall rejoice in the morning when he sees how great is bis store." And be did. And they did It that night and the next in the sheltering dark. But on the third night the moon came out as they met face to face, each with his arms filled with sheaves. On that spot says the legend, was built the temple of Jerusalem, for It was esteemed that there earth came nearest heaven. Out look I" MAIL. Another Bags, 10 at 13c.

Holey Smith, Dr. G. R. Coffin, Harry tt McGreevy, William Holtoa Iyc, Joepk INDEXING BOOKS. The Custom Is an Old One That Developed Rather Slowly. The custom of indexing books developed gradually. Cicero used the word "index." but in the sense of a table of contents. Seneca provided some works which he sent to a friend with notes of particular passages, "so that he who only aimed at the useful might be spared the trouble of examining them entire." Thin was at least a partial "index" in the modern sense. Annotated, or at least explanatory, tables of contents seem to have preceded the index proper.. Such tables followed the order of appearance of the (subjects in the book itself. Alphabetical arrangement, which was the beginning of the real index, appears not to have been thought of until the invention of print ing, and even then it spread but, slowly. Erasmus was one of the first to provide his works with alphabetical indexes. The custom did not become universal until well into the sixteenth century. The first Index to an English book Is said to be that printed In Pol.rdore Vergil's "Angliae Ilistoriae," in 1346. An edition of this work published ten years later has an index, of tUlrtyseven pages.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

Thair Us en an Important Seal Dates From 1876. Tbe nrt experimental philosopher to discover that electric light cuuld be produced by a dry battery was Sir Humphry Davy, who In ISIO exhibited a light three inches oug. between car bor points, before the Royal society of London. But no commercial Talue was attached to the use of electricity as au illuminant until more than half a century later. The Ootennlal eshlbition, held Id Philadelphia in 170. really marks the era of our present form of electric light, though electric lichtH had been in use abroad prior to that time. The exhibit" to of models and practical demonstrations of electric lights at Philadelphia in ISTrt attracted the attention of scientist.' and capitalists in this country, and tbe first Incandescent lamps and the first arc system were put to practical us In a small way tn 1S7S. The Brush arc light gained favor in tbe beginning as tbe most adaptable for street lightin?, and Cleveland. O.. tbe home of Charles Francis Brush, the inventor, wa the initial American city to adopt tbe arc system for street lighting. Since 1S7S both the Brush arc system and the Edison incandescent system have developed. Marc M. Reynolds in Moody's Magazine. i it!
