Time to Vpproarh h Mm un Humuomm f "Come in and sec n o Monday morning and we'll talk it over." said Gassaway, but Minks replied: "Couldn't you tnakc it Tuesday morning or Monday afternoon?" So it was arranged for Tuesday morning. ltlnks turned from the telephone to me with a smile, saying: "I'm glad he didn't make it Monday morning. We would never come to u conclusion then. You see," he continued, noting my surprise at such a statement. "Monday morning is the morning after Sunday. Never approach a man on business on Monday morning. "I can't explain why it is, but every man goes to his of lice on Monday morning with a grouch. I suppose it's because he's heen resting up all day Sunday and sort of hates to tear hiid&elf away from it. Anyway, I know it is so. "Take your own case. I've known you many years, and whenever you meet me Monday morning 1 notice that you are yawning, taciturn and unsmiling. You had a good Sun lay no doubt. Either you rested to beat tho band or played golf or did something. Anyway, that took your mind off your business cares. Then you went to bed rather early, all prepared to get up early Monday. When the clock went off you were miserable about rising, and when you did get up you were ugly to everybody, it s tne same way witn all of us. We rest too hard Sundays. Instead of just relaxing a little we let everything of the week go and fall all to pieces in doing what we call recouping. It's the great American habit. "That's the reason wo 'have 'blue Mondays.' Some day, I suppose, we'll learn how to rest up over Sunday without completely disorganizing our work for Monday. If we don't I think it would he a good idea to cut Monday out of the business week and begin on Tuesday."?New York World. READING THE TREE. Hot*- tlio ForcMer G?*tn IIh I.ife History in I)c(nll. The forester reads the history of a tree in great detail, says the American Magazine. After taking out a few "borings" to the center of the tree at different heights and counting the rings on them ho may spin you such a yarn as this: "This tree is 150 years old (150 rings at the base). During the first five years it grew only seven Inches (145 rings, seven inches from the base). Evidently it then began to touch crowns with other saplings, for it took a spurt and put on fifteen inches a year steadily till it was forty years old (forty rings forty-four and one-half feet above the ground). It was not growing as fast as its neighbors, howover, for at tills point it began to be overshadowed, and its growtii declined for the next ten years to as little as four Inches a year (forty-five rings at forty-eight foot and fifty at fifty feet). Just in time to save its life something happened to its big neighbors, presumably a windstorm, and it resumed a steady growth of about six inches a year, having passed its fastest growing time. Its growth in thickness doesn't seem to have varied much, about an inch every throe years. But it grew faster and faster in volume, of course, as its holgbt increased?a little over a cubic foot a year in its prime of life, I should judge. About thirty yours ago it reached maturity and stopped growing in height (thirty rings at the top of the main stem), and now it is approaching old age (the last rings are pretty thin). Hold on n minute?here's a false ring, twenty, forty, forty-six years back; two very thin ringssee?instead of one thick one; means that something interrupted the growing season, probably a late frost." Tlie l)ruK Clerk. In the old days the drug clerk spent his spare moments in pounding leaves and barks for the production of tinctures and extracts that are now supplied by wholesale manufacturers. When he had nothing else to do he made ointment and rolled pills. The mortar and pestle were the universal sign of the trade. But the diverse mod ern activities or the pharmacist more tlian compensate for the earlier details of toil. It is still a time honored practical jest to ask the apprentice to powder ten pounds of camphor In a mortar. After sweating at his task for an hour or two he learns that camphor won't powder, though it is readily soluble in alcohol.?New York Tribune. Some Worm* Are Ctirimm.

Springs are rarely found in the southwestern part of tlio United States, and for tills reason they have boon from ancient times prized as a most valued possession. Hie people wli^ dwelt in this region, says Walter Hough in "Records of the Past." saw in these sources of life giving water the founts of continuance and well being, and near them they located {heir pueblos. Save air, no elements of nature are nearer to human life than those combined Into tiie primitive fluid which must always be within reach of men who put themselves into the grasp of tlio desert. The primary knowledge of the tribes who were the pioneers und of every human being who has since made his home in the great American desert was complete as to the location, distribution and idosyncrasies of the water supply. Spring water is naturally more prized by the inhabitants of those desert solitudes than that from lining streams, because It is always drinkable and always at hand, while the watercourses, which for the greater part of the year arc sinuous reaches of dry sand, furnish nt flood a quickly disappearing supply of thinned mud which will not he touched by man or beast except in the distress of thirst. One Is not surprised, therefore, that a primitive people will regard these springs as sacred. In fuct, the Indiana of tiie southwest are not peculiar in the worship of springs. The sentiment is worldwide, bus had a vast range of time, perpetuates itself in the folklore of tlio highest civilizations and presents In its manifestations a most interesting body of myth and fancy. But In the eouthwest the arid onviroiqntnt has so intensilled this feature of primitive culture that no spring in the region ia without evidence of many offerings to the deities of water. , It is small wonder tlien that the Pueblo Indians came to regard springs with special veneration; tliat they wove around them myth and tradition and made them objects of roligioius worship. To one acquainted with the environment and its radical needs this seems to have been a natural, even though unconscious, generalization. Perhaps offerings to springs will not admit of such simple explanation. Perhaps the mystery of the underground source of water welling up from unknown depths, Impressive always oven to the observer who believes himself free from the trammels of superstition, has also had a powerful effect on the miml of the Indian, leading, like many otlier natural phenomena, to an attitude of worship of unseen powers behind these masks.?New York Tribune.
