What to Forget If yon would increase your hap piness and prolong your life* says an exchange, forget your neighbor's faults. Fc:get all the slander you have ever heard. Forget the temp tations. Forget the fault finding, and give a little thought to the cause which provoked it. Forget the peculiarities of your friends, and ^Only remember the good points which make you fond of them. For get all personal quarrels or histor ies^yon may have.heard by accident, and which, if repeated, would seem a thousand times worse than they are. Blot out as far as possible all the disagreeables of life; .?hey will come, but will only grow larger when you remember them and the constant thought of the acts of meanness, or^ worse still, malice, will only tend to make you more familiar with them. Obliterate everything disagreeable from yes terday, start out with a clean sheet to-d?y, and Write upon it for sweet memory's sake only those things w hich are lovely and lovable. S*nso and Sensibility." Per some days the dining room, had been disturbed by the invasion of the Dew boarder. She was fat, fifty and very sentimental and her tender na ture led her to whisper so many rap turous confidences in ber neighbor's ear that all tne rest of the mb e felt uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that one day after a harassed breakfast thc neighbor determined to make a struggle for liberty and general con versation Her opportunity came that night at dinner. "Sweet Howers of springr murmured the sentiment;!list, apostrophizing the 1 nodding daffodil centerpiece. "Aren't they dear': So full bf poesy: And don't yon think that we ought always j to call them daffadowndillies instead , of daffodil??- she whispered. "No. I don't;" answered the neigh bor uncompromisingly and quite out loud "Just tbir/k how awkward it would have been for Wordsworth if he'd had to write: "And then my heart with pleaiftrre fill lea And dances with the daffadownd?liea !" For once the sentimentalist was si lenced,-Youth's Companion. Facts About Hailstones. If it was qui for the couut?ess tril-. lions bf dust particles tnat ?oat sep arately, invisible In the atmosphere, there could be no raindrops, snow crystals or hailstones. From a per fectly dustless atmosphere the mois ture would descend in ceaseless ram without drops. The dust particles serve as, nuclei about which vapor gathers. The snow crystal is the most beautiful creation of the aerial mois ture, and the hailstone is the most ex tr .ordinary. The heart of every hail stone is a tiny speck of dust Such a speck, witt/ a little moisture condensed about it. Is the germ from which may be formed a hailstone capable of fell ing a man or smashing a window. But first lt must be caught up by a cur rent of air and carried to the level of the lofty cirrus clouds five or six or even ten miles high. Then, continual ly growing by fresh accessions of moisture, lt begins its long plunge to the earth, spinning through the cloud and Sashing In the sun like s diamond bolt shot from a rainbow.-Mew York Tribune. The Thunder Sounding Smoke. Th? Victoria falls, the. native nam? for which ls Mosi-oa-Tounya. or the Thunder Sounding Smoke, have right ly been called the most beautiful gem In the whole of the earth's scenery. No pen. picture or photograph can give t ae faintest Idea of the marvelous gran deur and beauty of the scene. The majesty and mystery of the gigantic gorges, the foaming torrents, the Won derful atmospheric effects-sil coro* upon one' with a force and power tut though nothing had ever before beizi read or beard in connection wifii them. The falls by moonlight are a truly fascinating spectacle. Tte roar ing clouds of spray, the somber raia forest, the stream of the- Zambesi shimmering far above the trembttaf earth, the lunar rainbow, co rails? tv make an inimitable picture. Where the Zambezi takes ill ttajtity plunge of a sheer 400 feet tb? iffUT h) over a mile wide, or, io be ettrt, feet.-Band M a IL Hors? or Oeet?

At the table i'eakman said: "Gentlemen. 1 am sorry to say thart we were nuable to get ail our ration ia beef today and bad to take part if it in horseflesh. This which ! am carv ing is .beef: the horse ls at the* other end. and any one who prefers it ce? help himself." Nobody did prefer lt. and so they ail ate beef and made a good dinner. When they bad linixbed Peuktuan sud denly exclaimed: "By Jove, gentlemen. I And 1 have made a mistake in the joints.'

If we drop a lump of sugar, into ? cap of ten we find, it takes a consider able time to melt if allowed to remain at the bottom of the vessel, but.If we told It np In the spoon near the sur face of the liquid it dissolves much m >re rapidly. This is owing to the sugar as it melts rendering the portion of the tea containing it heavier. The sweetened part, therefore, .descends, leaving the sugar constantly in contact with unsweetened, or only partially sweetened tea-in fact, a continual circulation of fluid is promoted until the whole Is dissolved. When the fragar is placed or permitted to lie at the bottom of the cup it dissolves until the layer of fluid next it is thoroughly sweetened or saturated, when it prac tically ceases to dissolve any further, tbe sweetened and heavier stratum above it acting for a considerable time until the law of diffusion comes gradu ally into play, like an impervious cov ering, In keeping back the lighter, un sweetened fluid above; hence the rea son also why stirring, in breaking up the saturated layer and allowing ac cess to the unsweetened portion, is so effectual in bringing about the uni form sweetening of tea. Life is not in frequently sweetened by thc sf me stir ring up process. Tho Family Pair. The wriggly stillness of the study ?period was broken by a slamming door, and a thin boy in dirty, ragged clothes slouched across the room. Halfway to the teacher's desk he drawled, "Pa wants that you should let Jim go home right now." As Miss Davis looked a little doubtful, he added, "He kin come back right away." The permission ?river the two badly soiled, half starved sons of the most shiftless family in the district shuffled down the stairs. Veryyshortly Jim re turned, wearing a pleased and impor tant smile on his pathetic little face. "I come as soon's I could. Pa's brother's dyin' to Poplar," he aanounc ed cheerfully. "That's why pa wanted me." "But you weren't gone long; you didn't stay home. I can't see why you went at all," answered the bewildered Miss Davis. ? "Why, pa's goin'," explained Jim. "Yes, but what has that to do^with you?" asked the teacher. "Pa had to have his suspenders," was Jim's matter of fact reply.-Ex change. -** TW.3 Power cf Sr.riic. One C way cf experiment I fiariiesstt ?> common gardeu snails to a toy "J.j? carriage to see if they could pilli il along, says a writer Ju a Lofidon magazine. Although the gun carriage was a heavy leaden one. the snails putted it so easily that I loaded the body ol' the carriage with .small shot. The snails, however, were more than equal to the task. Auxious to test their powers still further, 1 at tached a toy cannon (made of lead and brass) behind the gun carriage, but the snails and their additional load moved on once again with the same apparent ease. Out of curiosity I decided to weigh the cannon, gun carriage and shot and to my great surprise?found the total weight to be almost one pound. I venture to'think this a very good load for two snails to manage. The Frying Pan. ip1,.'. "People are always decrying the fry ing, pan." said an experienced cook, "but the thiug they refer to-cooking meat, etc.. in a shallow pan with but ter as fat-isn't really iryinf it; it is . sauteing. The reai frying pan is a deep kettle tilled with hot clear lard or olive oil. In this the food-dough nut, croqu. ?te or whatever it may be Is immerse.: just tong enough to make it crisp and brown on the outside and feathery and light on the inside. Food cooked in this way is entirely digesti ble if properly made But so many cooks make the misfake-of putting too much shortening in the mixture to be 'ried, and the fat inside, combining with the fat outside, prevents the for mation of the crisp crust and makes the food soggy." Meanness to a Blind Man. A man with dark* glasses over his eyes' touched the conductor on the shoulder as the car neared Euclid ave nue and East Fifty-fifth street. "Pardon nie." the man said, "but if you're the conductor I want to ask a favor. I'm blind, and I want you to lead me over to the curb when the car stops, if you'll be so good." Not that 1 minded the little bother of doln' that for him," remarked the conductor when he got back on his car, "but 'tain't right to let a blind man go around all alone like that at night trying to find his way around in the dark."-Cleveland Tlain Dealer. His Idea of Economy. "Ifs all very well for you to preach economy," said his wife, "but I notice whenever I cut down expenses that yon smoke better cigars and spend moje money for your own pleasure than at any other time." "Well, confound lt. what do you sup pose I want you to economize for, any way?"-Chicago Record-Herald. Up and Down. Mistress-Here's thelman for" that clock to be repaired. Get it for him.

Needle Dust. In factories where needles are made the grindstones throw off great quanti ties of minute steel particles, with which the air becomes heavily, charg ed, although the dust is too .fine to be perceptible to the eye. Breathing the dust shows no immediate effect, but gradually sets up Irritation, usually ending in pulmonary consumption. In effective attempts were made to screen the ah* by gauze or linen guards for nose and month. At last the use of the magnet was suggested, and DOW masks of magnetized steel wire are worn by workmen aud effectually re move the metal dust before the air ls breathed.-London Granhlc.
