RELATIVE MISERY
WNnn.an
There is a saying of a great French
writer tkrat he who has ten needs i s
not happy when nine of them are satis-
fied, It is true that we all of us have
needs that cannot be satisfied and that
they will make us unhappy, if we let
then. It is true that there is no com-
plete and absolute happiness, For-
tunately, it is also true that there is
no absolute misery.
When things go wrong, our own per-
sonal misery is likely to seem to us
absolute, whereas the ills of others
seem unreal and insignificant Even
trifles prick so deep that we forget
that they are trifles, unimportant not
only in the larger movement of the
world but even in the total current of
our own lives. The great preacher
Wesley once visited a wealthy parish-
ioner to get assisauce for some over-
whelming charitable need. The visit
was mainly•occupied -with an account
of the parishioner's fireplace, which
would smoke, no matter what was
Bono to remedy the difficulty. "Would
you believe it, Mr. Wesley, I have haft
the best advice from London, and still
it smokes? These are my troubles.
Mr, Wesley." To this man the life
and 'death of Mr. Wesley's proteges
was of little consequence compared
with the smoking fireplace. How of-
ten is it so with all of us.
To appreciate the relative quality of
our own troubles eve should keep an
open heart for the troubles of other
people a not brood over then, not
wear our lives away in useless pity,
not lose the possibilities of joy that
are given to us by vague complaining
over the sorrows of the world, but
remeiubee. when vexations come, that
they cerise to all and to meet more
thickly than to us.
It is sonretitnea urged that this rela-
tive cure for unhappiness is a selfish
one, anis that we have no right to cul-
tivate otir own contentment by dwell -
Ing on the sufferaigs and the wretched-
ness of others; but that is not what
is iuea.iit at all. We are not to gloat
over cher..' mieoxy, not to emphasize
whatever truth there may be in the
remark of another great Frenchman,
that there is something not wholly dis-
agreeable to us in the misfortunes of
even aur best friends.- The sense that
we are not alone in trouble, that mil-
lions of people daily endure far more
than we endure, ought to soften us
and render us more considerate and
forbearing and helpful. At any rate,
it will teach us that our own miseries
are not monstrous and that, viewed re-
latively, they are in most cases insig-
Iiilicant.
When your fireplace smokes, do not
complain, "These are my troubles, Air.
Wesley," but mend it or forget it•
The Greatest of These.
The world has need of greatness; men
who rise
Upon the stepping -stones of Yesterday
To the To -morrow of their dreams and
ours;
The world has need of power; the
power to build,
The strength to break down barriers;
to erect
The gleaining edifice of betterment
Upon the new foundation -stone of
faith—
Faith in mankind`` --and staunch and
tender trust.
Tho world has need of hope invincible;
Of daily effort croewning daily prayer;
rho svorlci luta need of vision, ere it
sees
rho first deed of that fairer, nobler
eplrer•e
lt.isin; from out the soil of sacrifice.
:heat is the world's need! All the
gifts of. might
And power and will to conquer Des-
tiny;
The gifts of cervico, tolerance, loyal-

Uf ,lirennous purpose and of honest
toil;
Of gladness and good cheer, of merry
hearts,
Of knightly zest anti gallant bravery;
But most of all the world has need of
love!

found that burglars had visited the
house during his absence, and, al-
though one had been wounded, they
irad succeeded in getting away, '
"And so you shot a -burglar while
done and unprotected," he said to his
wife, "Yon are a brave little woman!
What became of him?"
"The. other man carried him off,"
;he replied.
"The other pian?" he asked.:
"Yes," she said, "the one I aimed

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes a size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of a drug
called freezono, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re•
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out•
This drug is a sticky ether com-
pound, but dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn without inflaming
or even irritating the surrounding
tissue.
It is claimed that a quarter of an
ounce of freezone obtained at any drug
store will cost very little but is sufii•
cleat to remove every hard or soft corn
or callus from one's feet. Cut this out,
especially if you are a woman reader
who wears high heels.

CIIf 1DII9OD CONSTIPATION
Constipation -6 that disordered state
of the digestive tract which is nearly
always caused by improper feeding—
can be readily regulated by the use of
Baby's Own Tablets. These Tablets
are a mild but thorough laxative.
They are easy to take and are abso-
lutely free from injurious drugs. Con-
cerning there Mrs. Joseph Dion, Ste.
Perpetue, Que., writes:—"I have noth-
ing but praise for Baby's Own Tab-
lets. When my baby was three
months old he was terribly constipated
but the Tablets soon set him right and
now at the age of fifteen months he is
a big healthy boy and this good health
I attribute entirely to the use of the
Tablets." They are sold by medicine
dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box
from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,
Brockville, Ont.
Signals From Another
Planet?
Interruptions of the Marconi wire-
less instruments by mysterious unde-
cipherable signals, which were noted
before the war, and have been public-
ly referred to since, are specially fea-
tured in the Daily Mail, London, and
discussed by Marconi in an interview
published by the paper,.
"We occasionally get very queer
sounds and indications, which might
come from soniewhere outside the
earth,” said Signor Marconi. "We
have hada them both in England and
America, The Morse signal letters
occur with much greater frequency
than others, but we have never yet
picked up anything that could be
translated into a definite message.
"The fact that the signals have oc-
curred simultaneously at New Yorlc
and London with identical intensity
seems to indicate that they must have
originated at a very great distance.
We have not yet the slightest proof
of their origin. They might conceiv-
ably be due to some natural disturb-
ance at a great distance, for instance,
an eruption of the sun causing elt etri-
cal disturbances."
Asked whether possibly, .attempts
were being made by another planet to
communicate, Signor Marconi said:
"I would not rule out the possibility
of this,. but there is no proof. We
must investigate the matter much
more thoroughly- before we venture
upon a definite explanation."
He added that the mysterious
sounds are not confined to any par-
ticular diurnal period; they are
equally frequent by day and night.

- What All Prospective
Bridegrooms Know.
That he won't be able to find the
wedding ring at the fatal mdment.
That his hands will look as big as
the broadsides of a barn during thee
ceremony and that it is a confounded
shame that it isn't permissible to hide
them in his trousers' pocket.
That it would be .an immense relief
to elope instead of going through the
fuss and flurry of the church wedding.
That his pal has too much of a
smile on his face and is sure to play
some sort of a trick before the cere-
mony is over with.
That all the women in the congre-
gation will wonder what on earth it is
that the bride sees in him.
That all his bachelor friends are
sadly shaking their heads and saying,
"Another good man gone."
That though the bride's father has
protested vehemently that he doesn't
want to give up his little girl, he still
seems remarkably happy over the
fact that she is getting married.
That while the fact remains that
he isn't marrying the whole family
the whole bunch has laid out a sche-
dule of visits they aro going to pay
him during the next few months.
That if the bride's mischevious little
'bfa;her pulls off any of his so-called
"cute little tricks" during the cere-
mony it will be with extreme difficulty
that he will restrain himself from up-
ending little brother and giving him
a splendid little paddling.

Bubble in a Sapphire.
There is exhibited in the British
Museum a sapphire weighing nine
carats whch contains a bubble that
appears and disappears with changes
of temperature.
It is believed that a cavity in the
gem enclosed a quantity of carbonic
acid gas under great pressure. When
the temperature is such as to corres-
pond with the 'critical point" for that
gas under the particular pressure to
which it is subjected in its brilliant
prison house it liquefies and becomes
visible as a bubble.
The publisher of the best Farmer's
paper in the .Maritime Provinces in
writing to us states:
"I would say that. I do not know of
a medicine that has stood the test of
time like MINARD'S LINIMENT. It
has been an unfailing remedy in our
household ever since I can remember,
and has outlived dozens of would-be
competitors and imitators."
Swiftness of Revenge.
Timothy Brown was a commercial
traveller and a valuable asset to his
employers.
On one of Itis periodical rounds he
included in his list of calls a certain
yarn merchant, Jones Perkins by
name—a crotchety, ill-natured indi-
vidual --who invariably treated him
with the greatest discourtesy, ,and
who on more than one occasion had
torn his card up in his presence and
thrown it on the floor. As becomes
a good commercial, however, Timothy
was undaunted, and vowed to be re-
venged.
In dice course he called on his friend
again and presented his card.
"Hallos!" shouted old Perkins, giv-
ing the card the usual wrench. "What
the----" But hero he interrupted
himself with a yell of pain, accom-
panied by a miniature war dance,
Timothy's rasa was made of enema

Spiders' Threads For
Telescopes.
The threads of the garden spider
are fixed by astronomers in their teles-
copes for the purpose of
givingfine
lines to the field of view, by which the
relative positions of stare may be ac-
curately measured.
For a century astronomers desired
to make use of such lines of the great-
est possible fineness, and procured at,
first silver wire drawn out to the ex-
treme limit of tenuity attainable with
that metal. They also tried hairs
(1. -500th of an inch thick), and threads
of the silkworm's cocoon, which are
split into two component threads, each
only 1 -200th of an inch thick. But in
1820 an English instrument maker
named Troughton introduced the
spider's line. This Can be readily ob-
tained three or four: times smaller
than the silkworm's -thread, and has
also advantages in its strength and
freedom from twist.
In order to obtain the thread the
ispider,; is- carefully fixed on- a minias
ture "rack," and the thread, which at
the moment of issue from the body Is
a viscid liquid, is made to adhere to
a winder, by turning which the desired
length of firm but elastic thread can
be procured.
