HE COULD WAIT.

The Way Lnfondlo Hearn Poshed Himself Into n Situation. IjCfcadio Hearn at one time in his career was employed on a daily paper la Cincinnati. He obtained the position by, presenting his application in person to the editor. “We don’t need anybody at present,” ■aid the editor. Hearn sat down on a chair, pulled a book out of his pocket, wiped his glasses and smiled. “I said we don’t need anybody,” repeated the editor loudly. “I heard you,” replied Hearn affably. "I will just sit here until you happen to need somebody.” That editor was not long in “needing” Ilearn. For lack of anything better the new xn&n was sent out for a descriptive story to be written in the steeple of the Catholic cathedral. When the story was handed in it proved to be a composition rivaling the word painting feats of a.Ruskin or a Gautier. He pictured the city as it looked from the steeple and imparted to his description something besides beauty. There was reality in it. Persons who had viewed the city from the steeple averred that the story was marvelous for photographic accuracy. Now, Hearn was so nearsighted that ten feet from his nose all objects were misty and, indistinct, and it is doubtful if he could distinguish the nearest bouse from the point to which he had Climbed.—News Letter. if’ a -

THE COMPASS.

The Belief Wns Once Held That It Disclosed Men’s Thoughts. A belief that the mariner’s compass disclosed men’s thoughts was entertained by a number of ancient Mexlcompanions and allies of Hernan--46 Cortes. His habit of consulting his compass and chart in his advance through the country and the ease and assurance with which he reached whatever town or village he determined to make for tended to confirm this idea. In the estimation of the Mexicans the compass was a universal oracle. Accordingly in one of the conspiracies which were set on foot against Cortes by the Aztecs a number of the natives, «nost likely Innocent of what was in contemplation, were earnest in entreating Cortes to have recourse to his infallible guide, the compass, that he might ascertain for their mutual satisfaction that they -at least were faithful. Cortes himself records the singular idea held of the powers of the magnetic needle by his Aztec associates and their request in a letter addressed to the Emperor Charles V. Their belief, he adds, was one in which he took care to confirm them.

TRUTH TRIUMPHS.

Life Is a Conflict, and Error Dies In tlie Struggle. Life is u struggle. Wars end, but tlie war of the race the antagonism of thought, the strife between men, between man and the forces external to him, within the soul of the individualends not save it he with extinction. Error gains many a temporary triumph, but the final victory is with truth. There is substance in truth that in the last balance outweighs error. Nature’s process is by test and trial, by unfolding, changing, ripping up, undoing, redoing. By contrast and conflict she tries sincerity and treachery, honor and dishonor, fitness and unfitness, courage and cowardice, truth and error. The conflict of ideas between social and political systems and between creeds and philosophies is as rude as the conflict between the sea and land. Error dies in the struggle.— From “Balance: The Fundamental Verity,” by Orlando J. Smith.

Fatal Applause

An English lady snake charmer named Leyton was performing at a village called Vaelhlinger, in Rhenish Prussia, in a menagerie with a boa constrictor. This she permitted to coil round her neck and breast. Her courage met with thunders of applause from the spectators, who little dreamed that by their signs of approval they had sealed tlie poor charmer’s death warrant Such, however, proved to be the case, for, apparently Infuriated at their demonstrations, the reptile tigbt«ned Its coils and amid the shrieks of the public strangled the lady on the platform before anything could be done to assist her. The snake was Immediately killed.

Cautions.

"Leonidas!” exclaimed Mr. Meekton’s wife on his return from a journey. "I am at a loss to understand your conduct when we parted. I said goodby to you.” “Yes, Henrietta.” "Why didn’t you say goodby In response?” "I was Just about to do so, Henrietta, but I checked myself. I was afraid you would accuse me of trying to have the last word again.”

Declared His Intentions.

t Mrs. Rasher—Has Mr. Goldcoln, with whom you have been dancing all the evening, at last declared bis lutentlons, Mabel? Mabel—Yes, aunt. Mrs. Rusher—l am so glad! A'id what did he aay? Mabel—He declared he would k never marry.

Apt to Be Elusive.

"Pa, who are the ‘authorities?’” "They are the fellows who at critical times claim that they have no authority.”—Cleveland Lender.

Benenth Her.

*‘Dld Marjorie marry for love?” “Oh, no. She Is too well bred for But”— Life.

CHANGE THE MENU.

Don’t Have tlie Same Thing Over and Over In the Same Way. So many housekeepers make the mistake of having regular schedules which they follow for the week. Yet too much Importance cannot be laid upon constant change. . Mutton Mondays, beef Tuesdays, and so on, coming regularly, week after week, certainly isn’t conducive to appetite, especially if It's at all finicky, it’s bad enough for the house mother t> know every one of the “twenty-one jieals a week” in advance, but unless it’s absolutely necessary the same sequences of meals should be avoided. Boarding bouses nearly always have regular meats regular nights—a mistake that is got into by the effort for a system. But system isn’t in having the same things over and over again in the same way. There’s system in constant change, especially In constant change in menu. Another mistake on the same lines is made usually by the very young housekeeper, and that is in dishing up the “left overs” at the very next meal, instead of giving the palate time to forget > Change, change, change. Doctors and taste agree in preaching that for health and strength have their foundations in appetite, and appetite depends largely upon change.

CARE OF THE NOSE.

Tills Feature Need* Special Attention and Dally Treatment. In massaging the face the nose needs special attention. It must be kept free from blackheads, and the nostrils must not be allowed to become too wide. Use the rotary massage movement daily about the lower part of the nose after first applying cold cream. This will tend to reduce the thick cartilage. Never use a downward movement In massaging the nose. Always rub up. To make a red nose white massage vigorously along the leading nerve of the nose at each side. Use the tip of the finger, start at the bottom and rub np the nose on either side and then under the eyebrows. Following the nerve in this way is sure to relieve congested circulation, which is often the secret of that unpleasant redness which comes to the nose. If the nose Is extremely red, in addition to treating the nerve massage the temples and cheeks, using & brisk, vigorous movement, This we do in order to take the blood away from the nose. In treating the nose be careful never to touch It with water. Instead bathe It night and morning with cold cream.

THE CHILDREN.

Try reasoning with children Instead of scolding them. A baby’s weight at five months should be double its weight at birth. Tell your children white lies and they will soon hand you back the other color. Baby’s food should be always administered at regular hours to avoid Indigestion. Spray the children’s throats occasionally with a very weak solution of carbolic acid and water. A little application of the old fashioned maxim about the wisdom of going to bed early might do a good deal to solve the problem of the city child’s nervousness. , When baby pulls at his ear or cries sharply and presses his head against his mother let her beware of earache, a common but dangerous complaint in very young children.

Making or Marring a Room.

Color makes or mrfrs a room, and many inexpensive houses have been made “successful” by the intelligent use of this powerful factor. Harmonious coloring does not necessarily imply a room where everything matches. The blue rooms of the eighties, wb&re'tValls, carpets, curtains, lambrequins and upholstery were all one shade, exist today only In fiction. They were never cheerful, Imparting by some subtle power their own .indigo colorings to the moods of the occupants. The blue room pure and simple Is not now In favor. But we are all familiar with the very green room. Green is nature’s own color, and none other Is so restful, so desirable, but it can be abused. Nature makes use of russets, of yellow browns, of red browns, of bronze shades, of grays, of soft purples, of pomegranate tones. These may be transferred (o the walls of our houses, and if rightly placed are very effective.—House Beautiful.

Jewel Don’ts.

Don’t wear your rings all the time. Leave them off while working, writing or sleeping. If worn constantly they deaden the expression of the hand. The slightest pressure pushes back impulse. This Is the chief evil of modern dressing. Don’t, If your past has been densely populated and your heart sentimental, make on emotional Junk shop of your hand with unrelated souvenirs. Don’t wear all of your rings at the same time. Save costly gems for special occasions. Don’t weaivtoo many plain circles. Complex and pointed effects running up the hand help expression, while straight lines shorten the fingers.

Pillows and Mattresses.

To preserve the cleanliness of your pillows, make them covers of cheap calico to bo sewn on over the ticking. These calico covers, being protected In their turn by the linen pillow slips, will only need washing about once In three or four months, and they will the pillows clean a very long time. Mattresses should be protected In the same way, or at any rate with strips of calico about half a yard wide sewn round the »d*es. , t ... ......

One Week’s Use of flyomei Did More Than Six Months’ Treatment by Specialists. In the treatment of deafness whioh is often a result of catarrh Hyomei acts almost immediataly upon the inflamed membrande and the hearing begins to return at once, A few days treatment wiU bring relief, and in three or four weeks, according to the severity of the oase, a oure will be accomplished. Miss Meeks of Mattewan, N. Y.. says: ‘Hyomei is truly wonderful I have used it but a short time and see a great Change in my conditiou. My hearing is improving rapidly, and 1 had no idea I would improve so rrpidlv in so shert a time. My Ireath which was so offensive to myself and others, has lost its bad odor entirely. I have spent a great deal of money with catarrh specialists and can truly say that six months of their treatment is not equal to one month cf Hyomei.” B. F. Fendig is selling Hyomei on the unusual plan of agreeing to return the money if the medioine does not oure. A ootnplete outfit cost only SI.OO and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the vest pocket, 6 med. ioine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler will last a lifetime and there is enough Hyomei for several weeks’ treatment, Additional bottles of Hoyemi can be prooured for 50 cents. Compare this small expense with the fees charged by specialists and then remember that if Hyomei does not oure B. F. Fendig will return yonr money. dwfeb2Bwmar3 Sick Headaches. This distressing ailment results from a disordered condition of the stomach, All that is needed to effect a oure is a dose '’or two of Chamberlain’s Stomaoh and Liver Tablets. In fact, the attack may be warded off, or greatly lessened in severity, by taking a dose o' these Tablets as soon as the first symptom of, an attaok appears. Sold by B, F. Fendig.
