Thera are few more dangerous ene- mies to the peace and comfort of every, day life then the people who speak hastily in the squalls of pressing 111 tens - per, and then, when they are restored to good humor, expect everything to be just us it was before. There Is no finch position possible as "just ae it was be- fore" in this up and down hill human nature of ours. Every act or word is ase byb step which we mount upward or er sink lower w in the unhindered journey- iugs ouwurd of all the conditions of lite, and the people who give utterance to the incriminations of passionate tem- pers unfailiugly drop down in the esti- mation of others, from.which it is a still' climb up again. Moreover, words once uttered, whet)). er true or false, are usually undying and live on In hearts and memories long after the careless bow that shot sucb poisoned arrows forth le unstrung. And though the utterer may plead that to teed his passion he said not whet he really believed, but what he thought at the time would hurt most, it is al- most impossible for the hettrer to un- derstand that the expression was not that of a living though latent opinion and to feel it accordingly. The code of fashion in the moral realms hits decreed how much better a passionate temper is than a sulky one, but there is something to be said in favor of the latter its that it only hurts itself. Like tbe little girl who when annoyed always ate her apple tart with- out sugar, the guilty person may suffer most individually, but that is surely better than the suffering to the inno- cent caused by the random shots of the fierce though short onslaughts of a hasty temper. And silence le much less generally disturbing than violence,. though perhaps quite as unbecoming.— Edith Ie. Fowler in London flail. DOES AN EDUCATION PAY? Does it pay au acorn to become an oak?

E.c'entist4 who have suede a careful study of the inrfiu•nae of. clover on the soil tell us dolt after large eropt have been removed, from the land the soil is actually richer in nitrogen after growing clover than it was before, owing 'to the large a,cn oat of nitro- gen which' the clover roots have cb- tained 1rond j the air. As t rule the farmers grow clover and timothy together, and are therefore unable to ascertain the oampara::ive in .x nes of each ore: these clops on the so 1.

Whenever a looking glass appears in a scene in a play above a fireplace, in a sideboard or a cabinet one is 'almost sure to hear somebody ask his or her neighbor why the glass has been smear- ed with whiting or soap or something that dulls its surface completely. AIt sorts of reasons are hazarded or sug- gested. Sometimes it is stated that it is done for luck, at others that they did not intend to leave it dirty. The: real explanation is, however, a simple one. The glass is dirtied to prevent tide illusion of the scene being de- stroyed, as it certainly would be if the audience saw in' it the reflection of themselves or, worse still, the reflec- tion of the people in the wings carry- ingon thebusiness of the stage.e. Onions For Diphtheria. In cases of diphtheria onions in the form of a poultice anda sirupare said 1 to have an almost magical effect. The poultice in this case is made of -the raw onion pounded to a pulp and bandaged around the throat well up to the ears, changing as often as the mass becomes dry. A poultice of the same on the sole of each foot reduces the fever. The mucilaginous properties of onion juice make it specially soothing to the in- flamed mucous membrane and there- fore acceptable in case of whooping cough, croup or diphtheria. An excel- lent way to snake the sirup is to cut the onion into slices, sprinkle plentiful- ly with sugar and press between hot plates and a heavy weight until all the juice is extracted.

"Be pure and shine" is the crystal's in- junction, while the sword is a reminder to "Be sharp."

They wito make arsenic eat it, as 'a rule, for they say that oily the arsenic eater can with, stand the arsenic fuluee. These makers and eaters of the drug are comely, They have a blooming and clear color. They leek touch younger than they are. "The foreman in a certain arsenic faetare told me that in his boyhood, When he first went to that plant. be was advised to begin to eat arsenic lest his health suffer from the fames," says a toxicologist, "Ile did begin, and his first two or three small doses gave hint a abut'p pain, like a burn, in the stom- a sell, and this pain was followed by tr en ous hunger and a violent, dis- agreeable excitement. But as his doses increased in frequency and size their effect became pleasant. There was no longer pain or exeitewent. On the con- trary, tbere was n ravenous appetite, as well as a mood of joyous activity wherein be could do three men's work. "This chap, by the time he got to be thirty, was taking four grains of arsenic a day. IIe looked at thirty, with lyes clear pink and white color, no more than twenty-three. He was as robust all a blacksmith. But he said he would die at forty-five or so, that being the age at which all the Styrian arsenic enters die," The drug is a preservative, and in Styria when graves are opened bodies are found to be es fresh six or seven years after interment as on the day they were lowered into the earth. HALF FALSE JEWELS. How One Diamond Makes Two Each as Dig as the Original. The lapidary was splitting a dia- mond. He leaned forward with inteut brows. His tiny machine buzzed like a bee. A delicate and shining dust arose. Then suddenly everything was stilled, and the diamond, split in halves, lay in the lapidary's white, thin hand. "Out of one diamond," he said, "I am going to make two, and each of these two will be as big and brilliant as the original one was." As he scraped up the glitttering dust he explained: "First 1 will make in paste an exact duplicate of each of these two halves. Then I will join to the bottom of each genuine half its artificial complement, malting the junction so carefully that no one will be able to perceive it. FI - natty I will mount these two half false and half genuine stones. Each then will appear to be altogether genuine. Their paste foundations will not de• tract in any *ay from their brilliance. The owner of the big diamond will have two big diamonds. "The making of fake jewels," tbe lap- idary said, "is an interesting study. Do you know what the beat fake pearls are made of? They are made of fish scales—silvery and iridescent fish scales pasted on the inside of balls of glass.

"In the old days, when the capital of Alabama was located at Tuscaloosa, there was a good deal of open gam- bling at that seat of legislation," said a southern man. "It was the custom in those times for men of all grades of society to risk their money at games of chance, and tate lawmakers who gathered at Tuscaloosa were among the best patrons of the gaming tables. "The proprietor of one of those re- sorts, wishing to keep the state solons separated from the ordinary customers of his place, put up a big sign in the apartment devoted to faro, poker, roulette and the like, which rend: "'Waters of the legislature please take the table to the right; gamblers take the table to the left.

The Augustine monks at that place desired to build one such es they bad seen in Italy, but the lord of the manor forbade thein, de- claring that the winds belonged to him.

"Oh. that's easy," replied the owner of the pug nose. "First you buy a dia- mond ring azud give it to her. then you buy a gold ring like =mina's got and give that to her.

It is ex- pected when the kettle is returned a small portion of the food that has been crooked in it will be left in the bottom. Should this custom be disregarded by any one, that person would never be able to borrow again, as the owner must always know what has been cook- ed in her kettle. A white woman on one occasion returned a seourecl kettle, intending to tench a lesson in cleanli- ness, but her act became the talk of the camp as a fresh example of the meanness of the whites.
