The Walt Mason Care. I hate those guys who frown and mope, and fret the livelong day, who use all sorts of doctor's dope to chase dull care away. I hate the fellow who complains of every kind of ill. who toil:; us of their cares and pains until your blood runs chill. To such as these I always say Walt Mason is the cure. if you would once again feel gay and; happy and secure. I have no use for chaps who find this world a sorry place, who moves amongst their human kind with long and dreary face. I know, of course, their troubles lie right under- neath their nose, and that Walt Mason will supply a tonic for their woes. If I can find a man who says this earth's a gay old spot, who spends his blessed nights and days boosting his happy lot; who .;laps his neighbor on the back and speaks a word of cheer to those who daily cross his track or lend to hits an ear.- Then sure I am that 1 have found an wan of sense and grit, who knows Walt Mason is the truck to L. p one well and fit. Some folks wear quite a churlish glance, with Iooks told and austere, others with smiling counten- ance keep sorrow in the rear.

"If your friends attempt to take up your time in trivial conversional switch them to the chief operator." "You must dress plainly but neat- ly in dark or blue colors. No puffs, rouge or perfumery." "Jewelry and ornament$ art not in good taste." The phrase book contains set phrases such as "Number please." "Keep your temper and cio your best to obtain the service asked.

The Egyptian Government has begun one of toe most costly and comprehen- sive drainage projects for the reclama- tion df lands ever attempted by any government in the world..

It is estimated that the work will re- quire four years and $15,000,000 will be required for drainage, a like q g ,and amount for irrigation. Ninety per cent. of the land redeemed will be owned by the Government. The principal object of the project is to redeem a fertile, but now worthless region of the delta under dot - ton cultivation.

A recent supreme court decision will no doubt, as an exchange remarks, re- sult in the death of many vicious dogs. The„decision was in a case where action had been brought to recover damages from the owner of a dog that barked and frightened the plaf tiff's . horse. The plaintiff was thrown and injured, and brought suit for $1,500 damages. The jury gave him a verdict for that amount,•and the owner of the dog ap- pealed to the supreme court. The su- preme court confirmed the verdict, and says in strong words that the owners of barking and vicious dogs are respon- sible for all damage caused by such dugs, and that the owners keep them at their own peril.

There is a saying, much wiser and cheaper than It seems at first glance, to the effect that "you won't get sick if you keep well." it is a bait jesting way of setting forth a profound truth. The rises and exposures or life are $o many and so insidious that they cannot be escaped. The only hope of passing through them unharmed Is to keep the body so strong and sound that It can defend itself against the diseases which are constantly lying in wait for the unguarded and the weak. It is a mere commonplace to say that one man will take exactly the same course and -face precisely the same risks that another man finds fatal and go 'entirely unscathed. Some- times It is a difference born in the two orguuisms, but often it is the result of different living and different condi- tions In respect to strength and health. If the body Is maintained at a high state of efficiency and if care istaken to overcome and correct the little dis- orders and signs of trouble as soon as they appear there is not much danger of n serious illness. The small pre- cautions and the constant toning up of the body by exercise, fresh air, sen- sible eating and drinking and absten- tion from all excesses and follies ward off prolonged and often desperate struggles against disease. It Is the principle of the old adage, "A stitch in time saves nine." The same rule applies to the care of health. -Cleveland Leader. The House of Lords. The house of lords was composed chiefly of clerics until the time •of Ed- ward II1. Thus in 1205 the peers were ninety spiritual and forty-nine lay members, including twenty archbish- ops and bishops, sixty-seven abbots and priors and three master's of or- ders. Many clerical dignitaries sum- moned did not attend at Westminster, refusing to recognize the authority of parliament over their own convoca- tions of Canterbury and York. It was partly from this cause that the lords spiritual decreased in number until early in the reign of Edward III, the upper house consisted of eighty-six lay and only forty-five clerical peers, while during 'Elizabeth's parliament there were forty-three and twenty-six respec- tively. --London Standard.
