IN THE
TIMES
A HASTY TEMPER.
'tfh. Iilarai IRDoe r T1noitgl* stilt
1'i#Irr it'll Be seen oyer,
It iii a remarkable thing that there
exists in people's uttnds a, distinct s4-
eIal precedence atnAng the vices,
'lo own oneself on intimate terms
with such a oue us deceit or slander,
for instance, would be .almost undt'eatut
of, hut how often have we heard people
tory, almost with pride, at any rate
with no truce Of altuute, "1 breve u very-
hasty temper?" And then as if to
transfigure It into a very virtue they
triumphantly add, "But It is soon over,"
So It may be, but how about its conse
(thences? Are they soon over?
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.—

Be Deady For the Emergency..
Good luck is desirable even when you
have done your best to succeed, but
remember that the most favorable cir-
cumstances or strokes of fortune are
of little value unless you have pre-
pared yourself to take advantage of
them. Of what advantage would

he repelled with such crushing energy?
Had he not previously weighed and
refuted in his own mind the charges
of his opponent bis reply, instead of
ranking among the greatest master-
pieces of oratory, might have only re-

Woeful Lack of Confidence.
.A. prominent actor tells about a Chi-
cago theatrical woman about to wed
wbo was one day amusing herself by
going over the marriage sereice. To a
friend who discovered her, prayer book
in hand, she said:
"I always melte it a point to da this,
for no matter how well you may hove
known a part in the past it should al-
ways be rehearsed before the piece is
revived" 'Theo, rather playfully, she
rend the words, "Till death do us part."
Whereupon bee friend interrupted:
"How foolish that is, isn't it, dear?
Sounds like one hasn't any confidence

CLOVER SOD.'
ley Prof, C. A. Zavitz.
Clover is 'one of Ontario's most val-
uable farm craps. It is generally re-
cognized by' Ontar:o farmers to be a
heavy 'yielder orf hay which ;furn-
ishes a 1ar,Ja a.ntouti•t o: vuleabl f od

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. '
Wo ixave conducted a series of ex-

comparative value of clover a-'clglass

grew clovers and gr .sees uron sap-
arato plots and xeeinoved the crops,
after which the land was plowed and
other crops, were sewn. The results

The Stage Mirror.
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.
Mirror, Crystal and Sword.
The three symbols of the imperial
house of Japan are the mirror, the crys-

In front of the emperor on all state oc-

"Look at the mirror and reflect tby-
self," or, in other words, "Know thy-
self," is the message of the mirror.
"Be pure and shine" is the crystal's in-
junction, while the sword is a reminder
to "Be sharp."

fecture of this drug isindeed the ntalp
Styrian industry. 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

scales—silvery and iridescent fish scales
pasted on the inside of balls of glass.

Separating Them.
"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. It's hard to
tell you apart.'"
Germany's First Windmill.
The first windmill in Germany Was
built at Windsltelm. 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.
The monks applied to the bishop of
Utrecht, who promptly laid down the
fundamental principle that no one had
any power over the winds of bus dio-
cese but himself. He gave permission
to build the mill and it was erected in
the closing years of the fourteenth cen-
tury.

there Is nothing to do but bathe and sit

The bad sweeper, on the other bans(,

where the sweeper who Is not good

Of Buimik, the great leader of one
sect of sweepers and now himself, like
Pir Jhota, a sweeper in the courts of
heaven, the accounts differ so widely
that it is difficult to identify bin). It
seems clear, however, that with the
profession of sweeper he combined the
recreation of poetry, and there is some
amount of evidence in favor of his
having been the author of the "Ramu-
ana:'
He is alternately represented as a
low caste hunter of tbe Kernel Nardek
and as a Bbil highwayman who was
converted by a saint whom he was
about to rob. There is a legend, too,
that he laid down his life for the
sweepers of Benares and induced the,
people of that city to admit sweepers
into their presence. as they had never
done before.
As for Lalberg, the other great lead-
er. he takes us back at once to the days
of Ilomeric myth. He was born from
the coat of Bahnik and suckled by a
hare, in proof whereof ('Imhras to
this day abstain from eating bares.
On the other band, Lelberg was also
born of a pitcher, through the power of
Abdul Kader R.ilani, and when the
Prophet Elias was turned into a
sweeper for spitting on the saints in
heaven it was Lalberg who relieved
him.—Times of India.
Wire beyond Her Years.
Ile was a curly headed boy with life
before hien. She was a little girl with
a Sauey pug nose, but wise, it would
seem, beyond her years. The fact that
she was nursing a doll with eyes that
opened and shut with a click may have
been buts inspiration.
"Say, sister, I think I'd get married
if I knew bow."
"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. And then you must
buy her a watch for her birthday."
"An' what she give me?" expectant-
ly asked little the hn a.

"Why, unthin', of course," smartly re-
plied his little companion.
"Soy sister," he added, "I guess I
won't marry."
A Sioux Indian Custom.
Among the Sioux Indians a common
custom exists. When one family bor-
rows a kettle from another. 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.
