BIBLE OPTIMISM. lite 'with optimism.
I Because ( Physicians who have studied the hujtsan body and the physiological effects ,W tba optimistic mind upon the body (foil os that: The great force pump, the human t heart, works best when you go smiling I through the world; also the action of the cheerful mind upon the stomach k to make the juices of the glands Sow more freely. Ton see . When you are confident and cheerful !you breathe more deeply, your lungs .purlfy.the blood and your nervous system la normal and under control. ; And , On account of better circulation, dl'gestlon and breathing your body and brain work easier, yon sleep well, rest .repairs waste and every sense is keen. iln short, you are at your best. '. On the contrary, hatred, envy,' mo'roseness and the like are veritable toxins real poisons! : It has taken our world a long time to learn these simple facts. Only within recent years has science considered the tremendous effect of mind over body. ' Thousands of years ago the healthfulness of happiness and the evil effects of pessimism were known. The Bible Is full of it. Especially one book of the Bible known as Proverbs. The book. is full of statements like these: ; "He that is of a merry heart hath a antlnual feast." ! "A merry heart maketh a cheerful eountenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit Is broken." ' "Heaviness In the heart of man maketh it stoop, but a good word maketh it .flad . "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine." : In the Bible also is the statement .that psychologists are just now getting .bold of "As a man thlnketh In his heart so is he." Think cheerful thoughts and you will not only be cheerful, but normal and happy and prosperous. Mind is supreme. Thoughts are real things. As a man thlnketh iu bis heart so is he bodily, mentally, spiritually.
8imon and Qrevy. Jules Simon said that the most exciting moment of his life was when he Was trying to obtain a concession on tariff from a foreign diplomat with whom President Grevy was playing billiards. He whispered to Grevy to lose the game, but Grevy insisted on playing to win and relented only when he observed that the minister was in anguish.

Rural TeachersHeallh Educators. The work of promoting public health In recent years has made great progress throughout the country, but this campaign of education has been conducted for the most part In the larger cities, where congested tenements and badly ventilated factories and stores have made Improved health and sanitary conditions a vital necessity. For the most part the preaching of the doctrine of good health in the rural districts has been neglected, for the public still cherishes the false idea that farm life is too healthy to bother about the conditions under which the farmer and his wife and children live. The bureau of education of the agriculture department however realizes that the standard of health and sanitation in the country districts can be raised to a considerable extent, and in a recent bulletin it advises that the country school teachers become public health educators. Dr. Charles B. North of New York makes the same suggestion, pointing out that, as the natural intellectual leader of his community, the rural teacher can do for the public health in the country what the medical inspector and the school nurse are doing in the city point the way to clean living. The bureau of education says that the people of the farms must be Impressed with the danger of contracting tuberculosis from impure milk and to be brought to realize how constantly they are exposed to that great menace of the farm, typhoid fever, contracted from drinking impure water. "Personal cleanliness, purity of food and of drinks, the nature of disease, and the method of transference, are all things which can be expressed In the simplest terms and made clear to the understanding of children," asserts Dr. North. "Milk, its value as a food, the fact that it is highly appreciated by bacteria, and that it is therefore necessary to protect it against them these are not too difficult' for the child to understand." Dr. North emphasizes the need of special training in this subject for school-teachers. He believes that normal schools and teachers' colleges should have regular courses in public health so that the country schoolteacher may be armed with the es sential facts of sanitary science. Remarkable results may be expected to follow adequate public health work by rural school-teachers. It is estimated that if effective sanitation were enforced the present average of 45 years for human life would be prolonged to 60. "In rural communities annually 400,000 persons die and about 2,000,000 others are seriously ill from infectious disease. If only one-half half of these deaths and cases of sickness can be eliminated, it means that an immense field of useful work lies at the hand of the country school-teacher who will become a public-health educator, and will instruct the children and the mothers and fathers how to prevent the transference of poisonous bacteria from those who carry them to those who do not"

COUNT METTERNICH. Count Paul Wolff Metternich, who recently resigned the important post of German ambassador to Great Britain, was born Dec. 5, 1853. He entered the diplomatic service int1832 at Vienna, and served in Paris, London and Brussels before going to London as first secretary in 1890. Subsequently he was German, consul general at Cairo and Prussian envoy to Mecklenburg and the Hanse towns, before he was appointed ambassador to the Court of St. James in 1901. Count Metnernich is a close personal friend of Emperor William, the two having attended college together and afterward traveling extensively together.
A Bird That Shaves. . ' The bonmot, a South American bird.
takes a dry shave regularly. The bonmot has long blue tail feathers. Each quill is adorned from base to tip with soft blue down. .This arrangement the bird dislikes. Therefore with its sharp beak it nips the quills bare from the base out to about an inch from the tip, where it maintains a neat oval of soft blue whisker. Such action seems silly on the bonmot's part to certain philosophers, though it seems no sillier than van's action in regularly scraping bare his cheek and chin while he maintains on his upper lip an oval of soft hair not unlike the bonmot's tail oval.

THE GILA MONSTER. Rapulaiva In Looks, It la Raally a Harmless Creature. Probably there is no other living creature more feared by the ignorant than the Gila monster, about which all manner of weird tales have been told. It has even been held that the mere breath of this animal is sufficient to cause death to the one upon whom it fell. Scientific inquiry, however, fails to disclose a single instance wherein the breath or even the bite of this creature has resulted fatally. The fact that dissection and microscopic examination do not reveal any trace of glands for the secretion of venom is sufficient evidence to indicate that this curious member of the lizard family has been slandered. Soma years ago a civil engineer In the southwest undertook to settle once for all the question whether "the monster" was deadly or not. A fine specimen was captured and confined in a wire inclosure. A chicken was obtained, and its feathers were removed in order that the lizard might have every opportunity to strike at the breast The chicken was then held quite close to the Gila monster, which soon snapped viciously and secured a firm hold on the fowl's breast retaining this grip for more than ten minutes. When the victim was released it was found that the chicken's breastbone had been broken. Nevertheless the fowl quickly recovered, the bone knitting and the wound healing with no symptoms of poisoning. It is very probable that the reputation for evil borne by the Gila monster is due simply and solely to its most repulsive appearance. Harper' Weekly.
JAPANESE TEAPOTS.
AM Sorts of Shapes and Sizee In All Mannar of Materials. In Japan teapots may be had In any shape, in any design, at any price. One model la a huge caldron-like affair that will hold three gallons, while others are so small that a thimbleful may be said almost to make them overflow. The Japanese have teapots In the shape of birds, beasts, and fowls. Fishes and frogs have lent their forms to others. A beetle design Is very popular, as is one depicting a fat squirming eel. Buddha himself has been pressed into service as a model. Swans, correct to the last curl of neck and feathers, form teapots so small that they can be hidden in the palm of the hand. There are lotus bud pots and pots in the shape of teahouses. All manner of materials are included in the composition. Inlaid silver, hammered copper, iron exquisitely wrought and all the different kinds of Japanese pottery have been used in the manufacture of teapots. Several favorite designs bring $100 apiece, but so cheap is artistic handiwork in the far east that many others may be bought for a few cents. New York Press. A Blow From a L!on'a Paw. A man entered a London theater in the early morning and found to his horror that four Hons, -which were housed there, had broken from their cage. One gave him a blow -with its paw. then took him in its mouth. The blow from a lion's paw is said to be, after the stroker of a whale's tail and the kick of a giraffe, the strongest thing In nature, so that the victim was dead when the keeper went to the rescue. Only one lion had concerned Itself with the man and was now sitting over him as a dog sits over a bone. Two of the lions were playing on the stage with a "property" garland, and the fourth was seated in the royal box. placidly surveying the gambols on the stage and the terrible banquet in the auditorium. The murderer relinquished Its prey immediately its master appeared, and all four bolted for their den like children detected in some misconductSt James' Gazette.
Save the Babies. INFANT MOBTAUTT is something frightful. Wccan hardly realisivthat of all the children Tora fa civilised countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year ; thxrtysevea percent., or more than one-third, before they axe five, and one-half before they are fifteen I We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Caatoria would sarve a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we healtata to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of naxcotio preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation acdieaq to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reveraa, bst you must see that it bears the signature of Cbas. H. Fletcher.
