Ennui Is the only other element
neccssury to be added In full strength
to a deep, damning sense of guilt, to
make u hell on earth within the soul
Itself, - It extinguishes lu its dark
abyss every, treasure and pleasure
given from above, v j
. A slender acquaintance with Ore
world must convince every man that
uctious, not words, are the true cri
terion of the attachment of friends
and that the most liberal professions
of good-will ore very for from being

ington. Tnke life too seriously, and what
Is It worth? If the morning wake us
to no new joys, if the evening bring
us not the hope of new pleasures, Is
it worth while to dress and undress?
Does the sun shine on ine today that
I may reflect on yesterday? That 1
may endeavor to foresee and to con

nor controlled the destiny of touior-

" Miss Etlm Huffman was a visitor
to the Observer offive :' today, -with
some samples of currants which could
easily -bo mistaken for. cherries on ac
count of their size. They wore grown
on the C. D. Huffman Fairview farm
just east of towm Tliey are known
ns tho 'Way"- currants and the prin
cipal thing concerning them Is as Miss
Hufman points out, they are as easy
to produce as are the currants of the
ordinary size. '-They yield fully ns
prolifically, are of just as good qual
ity and arc, no more trouble to culti
vate and nro easier to gather than the
inferior kind..
FARM IMPLEMENTS
SALES ON A LEVEL
Manager Frod J. 'Holmes, of the Isr
land City Mercantile and Milling Co.,
stated .this morning that the sale, of
farming implements this year, will
amount, n dollars and cents, to a 1 Itv
tle more than the sales made last
jar, up to date; but the difference
lies in the fact that the sales this year
are fewer in number, but for larger
amounts. - . ' - -
"This is due mostly to war prices,
and higher cost at factories, resulting
in few purchasers by lurger farmers,
rather than many purchases by a lot
of smaller farmers.",! '

WHERE GREAT EMPEROR DIED
Longwood, the Prison House of Nspo-
I . ; leoilf la- maintained muen
. , : ,,'., He Kiunw lb
Longwood Old House, the prison
bome of Napoleon, Is-about four miles
from Jamestown, - the capital ot St.
Helena. Dismally unattractive, the
placo Is In about, the same condition
that lt was In the emperor's time, , A
low rambling one-storied farmhouse,
once the dwelling of n peasnnt farmer
of the. Island, It is hard to connect the
place with . the ppe-tlme master of the
Tullerles and Versailles. But Long
wood has an air of romance and mys
tery of its own; for It was the death
place of Napoleon, st
Tho house1 is badly lighted and in
Tentllnted. The' robnis are tiny and
musty. The so-called billiard room
could never have held even the small
est table and the players at the snmo
time.' The reception room Into which
the emperor was moved when dying, Is
the pleasantest spot la the place, for
lt bonsts of more than one window. It
was In the space between tho two win
dows that the death bed was placed.
Here today Is a bust of the emperor.
Visitors to Longwood sign the ancient
visitors'; book In this reception room,
while the aged: gnlde tells the story of
Napoleon's last days, t -1: ;
Above the first floor are the garret
rooms, little more, than cubby holes,
whore former statesmen nnd marshals
of France lived during their cxtlo with
their master; : Outside Is the tiny gar
den nnd the emperor's favorite arbor.
Here is, the flshpool built by his own
hands.. At the foot of the plateau Is
Geranium valley, and the emperor's
tomb. , It was by Napoleon's own re
quest that he was burled here. Tho
famous willow tree'bf' fiction ami his
tory, still shadows tho emperor's tomb.
In 1858 Queen Victoria presented
Longwood to Napoleon III, who re
stored, the old place to. the condition
In which the great emperor knew It.
NEED. NOT SEEK POPULARITY
"Expert" May Achieve Highest Meas
ure of Success, but Naturally Ha
Will Never Be Loved.
There Is not much mystery,: or. even
nnv nt till, In tho dislike of "experts"
that Is felt and-expressed by not n few.
The expert man is n man who goes to
other-men and tells them that tho
way In which they ore doing their work
Is not the best way that It Is n bud,
costly, or even stupid way and that if
they will only listen to him and follow
his ndvlee their work will be Improved
and their efficiency Increased. ,
None of us takes pleasure In lienr
Ing talk of that .sort,' and tho displeas
ure Is greater In exact proportion with
length of the hearer's training and ex
perience In conducting his business,
trade, or nrt. AH that the expert says
carries the Implication of adverse criti
cism directed against the recipient of
his suggestions, and usually It Is criti
cism of that recipient's father and
grnndfnther. 'Of. course thnt- ls re
sented, and tlie resentment Is bitterest
when the expert goes nhend nnd gives
undeniable proof that his new wpy
of doing things Is better than the old
ways which have long been productive
of honor and profit. -
The expert, too, Is always open to
the convenient charge that he Is not
"practical" that ha Is a mini of the
ories nnd fndsi Sometimes the charge
Is true but only of the expert who
claims the name without deserving lt.
Peculiarities of Electric Ray.
The eleefrlc ray Is a species of fish
found on the Pacific const. It Is known
from central California southward to
Santa Barbara channel nnd Is very
common In Monterey bay. This fish Is
provided with on electric organ com
posed of hexagonal cells, reaching from
the: skin 0f tho upper surfnee to that
of the lower, nnd situated nt each side
of the head and gill chambers. The
eleotrlclly discharged from this rny
has the properties of other electricity,
such ns rendering nn Iron bar mag
netic, decomposing chemlcnls nnd pro
ducing a spark, says tho American
Atiglcr. Stories vary as to the vol
ume of the dlschnrge, but even a small
rny Is capable of Inflicting considerable
pain. After a few discharges the llsh
becomes exhnusted and must rest be
fore Its electric orgnns are nguiu func
tional.
