In, their susceptibility to kindness men and women are in nowise d if-, ferent from the lower animals. You cannot expect your employees to. re main buoyant, cheerful, alert and unwearied under the goad o f scowls ■ and the lash o f a„bitter tongue. En ergy is only another name for en thusiasm, and how can you expect those who work for you to he entlruh siastic or energetic in your sdrvice when surrounded by an atmosphere o f despondency and gloom, when they exppeta volley of Surges and criticism every time you pass? Many a man who could have been a success sleeps in a failure’s grave today because of his gloomy, mean, contemptible disposition and. man-, net. He poisoned the atmosphere about him by venting' his spleen, dyspepsia and bile ou every one in his-vicinity. H e not only minimized the value o f his own efforts, but he also paralyzed the powers, the ini tiative, helpful faculties and sug gestive ideas of'all those who worked fo r him.— 0 . S. .Harden in Success Magazine, Buddha's Tooth. Nearly half a billion people wor ship a. tooth which is supposed to have belonged to the set owned and operated by Buddha. Years ago— . in fact, something like twenty-five centuries ago— the molar was alleg ed to have, been rescued from the . ashes o f the funeral pyre of the god.- Its career since that time has been Varied. From India the tooth was taken to Ceylon, then, it was seized by. the Malabars and later by the Portuguese and kept in Goa. Here ‘ the revgred tooth was burned. As it ,was a, marriage dower with the princes o f the royal house, the orig inal relic had to be replaced, so that the molar which rests among gor geous surroundings and to which a special temple has been dedicated is said to be that o f a wild boar or ape. Satisfaction,, Biquon, the Paris restaurateur, acquired a large fortune, and his wife carried on the business after his death. I t is o f this time that the story is told of a. poor journalist Who was seen in the restaurant eat ing a small plate o f strawberries at a season when the fruit Was So ex pensive as to ,be am extravagance even for the rich. A n acquaintance" saw the wretched periny a liner and smiled significantly. ’ “ Yes,” said the. journalist, “ I know I shall have fo pay 10 francs fo r these, ,but the Bight of'that woman at the counter; who is worth two' millions, pick* ing over Strawberries fo r me, who haven’t got 3 louis In the world ;- gives me such an amount o f satis faction that the berries are worth it.” Two Sides to ths Medal. Everybody knows the woman who says society is such a bore, TTgw o f tis knoW her intimately, for, in point o f fact, she does not go about much. I ran across her at a friend’s house the Other day and marked her lan guid air. The hostess was indiscreet "enough to refer to it, and even the teacups shuddered with horror at the woman’s reply, “ Yes,” teaid Bhe, “ paying calls is so tiresome/’ . - “ Oh,” responded the hostess, “ but think how touch toore tiresome it is to receive them.” And the teacups scored one for Hie hostess. The Half and the Quarters. " John Iloln&l, the youngest brotl c-r o f Dr. Oliver Wendell H olm e. was also known among his intimates as a man o f ready repartee and char acteristic humor. Mr. Holmes nev er married, but lived by himself in a little hotieo. Once a friend rallied him on his lonely life, “ You ought to marry, John ” said he, “ and have a larger house,” “ Why, yes,” replied Mr, Holmes, with a quiet smile. “If I should take a bettor half I would have to improve my quarters” * W B H & t i B FawnstoSell and dan sfell yours FARMROARS , five year*. SMITH « CLEMANS, ' A STRANGER IN CAMP. " H* (*•* Sem* lnf*rm*tlw« That N**d*d C*rr»ctton, It is beet to be sure o f the ground before'ope goes too far. A mining expert tells in the New York Press something that happened to him when, in the self confidence o f his youth, he was prospecting near what js now Leadville, He had been after n lead o f supplies and rode into camp alone at noon one day. It Was no uncommon thing for a stran ger to come to a/ camp and wait for the owner’s return, m the pros pector was not surprised to see a man sitting at the door o f the rough hut or shelter. Paying no particular attention to the- guest, I caBt the lash rope from the pack and called him to help re move the load. He responded cheer fully; and that done I told him to rustle a,little wood and we’d have dinner. Ho quickly .brought a load o f dead limbs, and I sent him for a second lot. Then he asked what further service he could perform. Wishing to humor his desire for work, I told him. he could fill the camp kettlCs at .the creek. After this I graciously gave him permis sion to sit down while I got dinner; Among my various weaknesses at that time was that o f imparting un restricted information to apparently uninstructed strangers. The habit came from a desire to escape-from the tantalizing distinction of a ten derfoot which I then enjoyed. No Sooner were we at -the table, which was a board wedged between two trees, than fI began. I poured forth a Niagara of information con cerning mines and. mining. He proved an excellent listener, and his appreciation encouraged and grati fied me. Finally,'my information becoming exhausted, 1 had to resort.to other things. I happened to turn to the civil war and sailed nlong, manufac turing..history Tight and left and making a 'free gift of it to the stran ger,- Pausing a moment for'breath, 1 was startled by my hearer modest ly venturing a correction-as to: a portion o f the mass o f detail I had so generously given him. I began to reconnoiter. Had he been in the army? Well, ye§,. he had. _ “ Were you a private or an offi cer?” ■ I “ Well, an officer/’ HI: “How did you rank?” ;- ‘ “ Well, I- suppose I ranked as, a general at the close of the war.” I realized'trouble was ahead an meekly inquired: “ What' may I.call your name ?” “ My nameis Logan,” he replied. For the first time I scrutinized his face. There could he ho mis take in the dark, swarthy features o f the man, the long hair, the high cheek bones. Smiling a sickly smile, I slowly^ rose, stretched my hand across the table, grasped " his and said: “ General. Logan, I can only -ex press, my regret at not having been able to furnish you with this infor mation at an eariier date. It might have changed your course o f action during‘the war.” — ............. : The general laughed heartily; but, best o f all, although he remained, in the comp several days, he did not mention the affair in the presence ofothers. -• • " A LITTLE NONSENSE; frh* Evolutfen of a Nam* Fwm .

A H oum of Common* “Bull." It was entirely proper that the latest “ bull” added to the house of commons collection should be con tributed by the member from Done gal.

It must not be scraped first, but “ set on” to boil, half filled with water and with a generous lump o f the soda, This should soften the burned substance, which can then be easily removed. Shoeblacks Abroad. The British consul general in Warsaw reports: “ An attempt was made in 3004 to introduce shoe blacks in the streets o f Warsaw,' but it was a complete failure, as, al though the public evinced the greatest curiosity in the novelty and a crowd assembled whenever any one had his shoes blacked, the publicity was such that few could be found to submit to the ordeal, and the nhoeblucks, failing to make a living, had to be withdrawn.” Nev er! hcless the American custom of commodious public choc blacking is tailing hold in iSurope, The arm chair is now to bo found in many place* in London, Frederick Remington in Harper’s Weekly tells a story of- Joseph Jef ferson’s method o f painting which sounds like the Japanese way of looking long and attentively at an object and then drawing it from memory.

Be sides, I think the house will rot down in less time thnn that,” said Mr. Remington. “ I shall paint it as I see it when I am not looking at it, my boy,” was Jefferson’s answer. ... Quebeo’c Enormou* Birth Rat*. Dr. Osier says you can’t diminish the birth rate of Quebec. In the year 1890 the late Hon. H, Mercier, then prime minister o f the province, had a law passed by the provincial legislature granting 100 acres of the public lands to each father and mother .of twelve living children, and last year a return was made to the house o f thoge who had taken advantage of this act. This return shows that there were more than 3,400 families of twelve living chil dren in the province, while some were boasted of seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, and one even ran up to twenty-three. According to the last report of the provincial compiler Of vital sta tistics— that is to say, for 1903— 00,419 births were registered, which gives a birth rate o f 36.T5 per 1,000 of the population. •y . Timber In India. ( There is a growing demand in In dia f6r limber other than lenk, ow ing to the increase o f factories nnd of coal mines, while there is also a large export. The oldest form of cultivation practiced hv the forest tribes o f India was to burn a good patch of woodland, leaving all the trunks .bare nnd black, and then to sow among the fertilizing ashes ft miserable crop of grain. This was done for two years, by wlucb time the jungle plants grew up and chok ed everything. In this way perhaps $2,000 worth of timber was killed to grow $20 worth o f grain. As some* o f these tribes to tins day know no other way to. grow corn, they resent being interfered with nnd revenge themselves by arson, and more for ests «r<3 destroyed, THEHERALDFOR JOBPRINTING E b e r so le P ian o s AB SO LU TELY DURABLE . “ We have for anumber of yeani used EbersolePianos in the Conservatory where they are constantly subjected to the hard est kind oi Use.
