HOW TO ENJOY ACHIEVEMENT
x
One Should Indulgo In It Moderately,
According to Argumonto Mod*
by Author.
Achievement mint be moderately
indulged in, not made the pretext for
a debauch. If one hat achieved a
new cottage, for example, let him
take numerous week-end vacations
from it. And let not an author ait
down and read through lue own book
the moment it comes from the hinder.
A few more months will suffice
to blur the meraorv of those imrroaa
ble, nauseating foundry proof*. If
he forbears?instead of being sickened
bv the stuff, no gentle reader, I
. - venture to predict, will be more keenly
and delicately intrigued by the
volume's vigor and subtleties.
If you have just made your fortune,
be sure, in the course of your
continental wanderings, to take
many a third-class carriage full wf
wittv peasants, and stop at many an
unpretentious inn "Of the White
Hind," with bowered rose garden and
howling green running down to the
trout tilled river, and mine ample
hostess herself to make and bring
you the dish for which she ia fanions
over half the countryside. Thus you
will increase by at least one Rsedekeriau
star-powder the luster of the
next Grand Hotel Royal da 1'Universe

PRODUCE LESS MAPLE SUGAR
For Various Reasons tha Output Haa
Boon Steadily Decreasing for
Soma Years Past.
The making of maple sirup anil
sugar in Canada in moat of the older
and more settled parts is gradually
on the wane, as most of the "augar
hushes" give way to cu It irated* farms.
From 1850 to 1890 the prodnctiou of
maple sugar, together with its equivalent
in sirup, increased year by year,
hut since that time it has. steadily
fallen. The industry is confined in
Canada to Quebec, Ontario, Sew
Brunswick, sn<| Nora Scotia. It is
. estimated that this industry, repreHciiiing
an anuual valuation of almost
$2,000,000, is carried on bv
about 55.000 growers. While many
of these operate their larger of smaller
wood lots preserved upon their
good farms, a vastly larger number
take their sap from rough and atonv
areas that would have comparatively
little value if the trees were removed.
The increasing value of maple wood
and the comparatively low price of
maple sugar and sirup, due to unfair
competition from cheap, adulterated
products, has Jed in recent years to
the removal of many fine sugar or
chard* that had produced crops of
deliciounncs* ymrlv for moot of a
cent wry.
QUITE SO.
At a club frequented by doctors
the discussion came up recently
whether a person could lire without
a brain.' During the discourse one
of the doctors said: "When I was
practising medicine in Indiaua a remarkable
case came under my supervision.
A man. while out hunting,
had leaned upon his shotgun and the
weajKui had gone off accidentally,
making a large wound iu his head
just above the ear. The brain was
laid bare and in bringing the patient
to the hospital a handful of the gray
matter leaked out. fie was trepanned
and dually recovered, hia
mental faculties apparently as good
as ever."
"Your story ia interesting." interrupted
an auditor, "hut it sounds to
me somewhat inconsistent."
"Why so?" questioned the narrator.
"Because." auawored the other doctor.
"if he had ever had a handful of
brains he wouldn't have leaned on
the gun."?National Manthly.
A STEADY TALKER.
"You used to say that the sound
of my voice ravished your eara."
"So I did, but since that time inj
ears have had nine years of uninterrupted
ravishment."
FAME AND OTHERWISE.

aword I want to go to war."

WANDERINGS OF A WATCH* ~
tary Told aa Simple Truth la <8omawhat
of a Strain an tha Moat
CnaSutaua Mind.
No writer of fiction could have invented
a stranger story than that of
the curious adventures of a watch,
which Capt. George Xicbols, an ol<Jtiroe
SsJrm shipmaster and mefcbant,
used to tall as the literal tratjh.
At Manila in 1803, says Captain
Nichols. I employed a Mr. Kerr to
aaaiat ma in my bnsinesz. Be took
a great fancy to my watch, and proposed
to give me his own watch with
soma indigo to hoot in exchange fof
it. We find fived upon a quintal
and a half of indigo, worth then
more than $1i?0 anrt f k-ent mv r-h.iin
and seals. The indigo I sold for $130
more than the original coal of my
watch. and besides, J got a watch
that proved to be a better timepiece
than mine had been.
Some twelve years or uiore after
this I was in company with Cant.
William lender of Salem, when he
took froin his pocket a gold watch.
"That watch," said 1. "looks exactly
like the one 1 sold to Mr. Kerr
in Manila."
"[ know the whole history of that
watch," replied Mr. Lander. "I was
in Manila after you left, wheu Mr.
Kerr told me that he had sold your
watch to a sea captain from New
York or Philadelphia, and that in i
passing Agulhan Bank, near the Cape |
of (food Hope, the captain accidentally
loat it overboard. Two or three
day a after, as another vessel was
passing the bank, one of the crew
caught a ftsh. and on opening it
found a gold watch. He carried the
watch to Calcutta, and sold it to Captain
Biackier of Marblehead. from
whom I got it."
This was Captain ljuider's story,
and I have no doubt that the watch

And that is the main reason why the
majority of us are faddists. We constantly
look for and instantly seiae
(he la I est fad that comes along and
contribute our share of energy
toward making it the prevailing
craze of the hour. . . . We readily
and willingly succumb to the
newest ragtime song, the neweat
dance, the newest breakfast fo?>d, the
newest outdoor amusement, the newest
hit of slang or anything new just
so it is new. It is as easy to relinquish
an old fad for a new one as
it is to breathe. The faddist gets a
greal deal of pleasure out of life.?
