A Girl Who Was Tired.
In the American Magazine Edna Fer

Town Felng." One of ~the principal
charactcrs in it is Mercedes Meron of
the Morning Glory Lurilescuers com
pany. Rere is what Mercedes says
about the alleged gay life that she
leads:
'i'm dead sick of this. Who cares
whether I live or die? It's just one
darned round of grease.paint and sky
blue tights, and new boarding houses.

Forged Postage Stamps.
Bad money and sp:rious banknotes
are as common as spDrrows. but for'
ed postage stamps are seldom heard
of. The most glaring case cif stamp
forgery in Great Britain occurred in
1sr2 and 1S73, and its origin has never
been discovered. In those days the
minimum rate for telegraphic mes
sages was I shilling. and the stutmps
that were forged were all for such
amount, eac' being passed through
the Stock Exchange telegraphie oltice.
One of the principal reasons against
postage stamp forgery is the keenness
of philatel'ists. The v'igilance of the
collector would speedily bring to light
the existence of any faulty stamps.
Of the many thousands of varieties of
stamps Issued, only about 100 are
known to have been forged. and these,
specimens have usually been skillfully
faked more with the object of trap
ping the collector than robbing the
postal authorities.-London Standard.
Keep the Machine in Repair.
Think for a moment. A man who
would no more run his motorcar on
defiated tires or with sand in the gear
box than he would use sulphuric acid
for motive power will keep going right
on at his business when the tread of
his own physical mechanism is flatten
ing out and the gear box of his mind is
filling with the wrong kind of grit.
(The impatient optimism that shakes
off a vague oppression with the assur
ance "I'll be all right tomorrow" has
had as much to do with lengthening
out the list or'bankrupts as any other
one thing I could ,mention. You can't
correct a bad condition by persisting in
the things that cause it. Yoc will only
make it wose You can easily enough,
if you are obstinate enough, make it so
much worse that it will "be the death
of you," or, anyway, -pct you out of
business.-National Food Maganee.
A Tyrant and a Terro..
It has been said the life of Frederick
the Great as a boy under his father,
Frederick I., first king .of Prussia, was
worse than that of Oilver Twist or
Smie at Dotheboys Hall. The old
king was a tyrant of the worst de
scription, and his own family experi
enced him at his worst. Frederick as
a boy received instruction in music
and French from refugees in Berlin,
but when the king learned of it he
stopped the music pieremptorily.
The lad had little liking for militery
pursuits. His father suspected his son
of 'heresy without having any clear
Idea of what his own' theology really
was. Once in a rage the king almost
strangled his son with a window cord,
ami at length matters were brought to
a -risis by the prince running away.
It was only through diplomatic inter
vention that Frederick's life was
spared, for he was a soldier, and he
had been guilty of desertion. in his
father's eves this was a heinous of
fense and so grave that a friend who
was associated with the priace in his
"rebellion" suffered the extreme pen*

HOW CHRONIC COUGHS a
Are Being Cured by Vino!
New Haven, Conn.-"I was troubled 2
with a most persistent chronic cough
for a long time and had tried so many
remedies and prescriptions without
benefit that I was dfscouraged. I was
persuaded by my friends to try Vi -_
nol. After taking the second -bottle,
my cough left me, and I must say I -
never felt better ini my life. I can al-~
so recommend VinoI to any one in a -_
run-down condition as thle best possi
ble remedy."
It is the combined action of the
medicinal elements of the cods' liv
ers, aided by the blood-making and 9
strength-creating properties of tonic
iron which makes'Vinol so efficient in m
curing chronic coughs, colds and
bronchitis-at the same. time building
up the weakened, run-down system. ~E

derstanding that your money will be a
returned if it does not help you. __

Stone That nends.
"rmas a reek:' "unbcnding as
flit," are phirases often used: but. as~
a matter of fact, there is a sort of stone
that Is as flexible as wooden jiber. It ~
is, of course, very rare, and the few
specimens known are now in mu
sums. One of the finest is in the e
Hartley instittution in Southamipton, 0
Egand. having been foundl near- Del- O
hi, Inidia. It is .lathlike~ in shape,-about
an 'nch thick and two feet long. It is +
a particularly flexible specimen and 0
can with the hands be curved several o
inches from the horizontal; otherwise
it is hard and mineral-like, having the
grain of ordinary gray sandstone.

The Canny Grocer.
The canny grocer sized up his cus
tomer.
She had ordered six strictly fresh
eggs.
He took down the paper bag and, go
ing to the basket, picked them out.
Twisting the top of the bag together,
he handed it to the woman, who paid I
him and went away.
The canny grocer smiled.
He had given the women seven eggs
when she ordered but sir.
He knew that when she reached
home and found she had seven Instead
of six eggs she would be so delighted
with the supposition that she had over
reached him that she would entirel
disregard the fact that six of eggs
were storage and one was dubious.
For the grocer understood human na
ture.
And he was canny.-Cleveland FPiM

Deep Grief.
Throughout his career .as a newSpa
per reporter the youfg man's assign
ments had taken him into demonstra
tive crowds whose periods of noisy
demonstration It was his duty to time.
"Mr. A. finally appearing, the audience
cheered for fifteen minutes." "Senator
X. finished his second joke amid laugh- r
ter that lasted for ten minutes," or "At
the close of the speech the audience
applauded wildly for thirteen minutes." .
These and similar records of the pub- t
lic pulse plentifully adorned nearly ev
ery story the young man wrote. One
day he was sent to attend the funeral
of a rich and crusty tempered old gen
tieman whose young wife had notori
ously repented her choice. The man
wound up his story of the funeral thus:
"In the silence that ensued the wid
ow wept for sixteen seconds."-Wash

Discovery of Speed of Light. e
One of the greatest discoveries of
science is due to observation-of the
eclipses of Jupites moons. It Fas 0
found that when the earth'was In the
part of Its orbit nearest to Jupiter ,
these eclipses occurred sixteen minutes -
earlier than when it was in the far
thermost part, whereas by all rules of
astronomy they should have occurred
at the same minute each time. It was S
deduced from this that the light was 33
not instantaneous and consequently
took sixteen minutes to traverse the
diameter of the earth's orbit, a dis
tance of about 200,600,000 miles, thus A
giving to light a velocity of 186,000
miles a second, which was accurately
shown later by other experiments.

The stars on our flag and those on

six pointed stars on the obverse of the

five pointed stars on the reverse. The
reverse of these coins Is a copy of the
great seal, with the clouds and the
stars omitted. So far as can be as

Advice to the Trustee.
In handling other people's money
e principal must be kept intact If,
s a trustee, those to whom you are
esponsible insist upon an income
rhich you in your heart know cannot
e obtahed without taking some slight
bance, give up the trust without hesi
ition, says World's Work. There is
o more bitter experience through
rhich an honest trustee or executor
an pass than the rendering of an ac
ounting for a lost or depleted trust.
o reason or excuse can weigh for an
stant against the actual result which
e faces. A single slip in the handling
f funds like this may doom all f4ture
enerations of that family to lives of
overty. This is the greatest responsi
iity ever laid upon a trustee, an ex
cutor, a banker or an adviser, and no
onest man should assume It unless
e is prepared to endure for the sake
f the future all the criticism that may
enter upon him on accoiit of ex
Sama coaervatism in the present.
