A dentists' union Is now being form

"Mark Twain" pleads for tho adop

John D. Rockefeller has had a tooth

Tho Connecticut Democrats socm to

Aberdeen University has conferred

An American millionaire it reported
to have paid $40,000 for a Titian. These
would be halcyon days for tho old mus

San Francisco peoplo aro talking of
holding a world'a fair In that city In

Sir Oliver Lodge says tho sun will

gregatlon the old-time giants of the
pulpit faced. They were no4 handi
capped by such considerations as tem
per the eloquent flight of the preacher
of to-day.
Tho publication by a London news
paper of scores of Irtters on "Grum
bling husbunds" draws out scores of
other letters on "Nagging Wives." Tho
husband who sulks or swears at tho
breakfast table, tho wife who over
cooks tho mutton and undercooks tho
potatoes, tho woman who Is cxtrnva-.
gaut and silly, and the man who Is
stingy nnd exnctlng, All tho printed col
umiirt with their unlovely faces; but
no ono seems much tho happier for the
discussion. Tho truth lies deeper thun
any slnglo experience Is likely to dive.
Itut good cooking on tho part of tho
wife nnd cheerful paying of bills on tho
part of thoi husband, economy nnd gen
erosity each In Its place, tact In tho
training of children, success In earning
a good Income, and a thousand circum
stances llko these will not insure do
mestic happiness. Even Love, tho ma
gician, cannot do that, although he
promises blithely to do so. Skill In
tho art of living Is tho essential for a
happy homo and It must bo possessed
by both husband and wife, oven though
In varying amounts. It is exactly like
hklll In playing the piano or running n
complicated machine to bo acquired
by practice, and to bo preserved by
practice. An Irritable word, unregrct
ted, or a glum silence Is an offense
agulnst the art Unselfishness Is tho
very root of It Courtesy Is Its fair
blossom. The woman who has skill In
tho art of living would as soon think of
turning a drove of swlno loose In her
dainty homo as of lotting out thero a
black herd of reproaches and crimina
tions. The husband would bring
thieves and outlaws under his roof as
soon as fault-findings and exaction.
In any largo vlow of llfo theso flaws
In Its most Intlmato relations take on
their truo hldeousuess. Neither a cook
ing school nor n college course can euro
tho disease of which they are tho byiup
touts. That can bo cured only by a
licart-stlrrlng realization of that divluo
order by which tides and stars and
pystcins movo In their npiwlutcd
coum'H, and by which discord and con
tention meet their appointed cud of
misery nnd wreck.

A Chicago scientist has discovered
tTint a man who accumulates money as
Itockufcllcr has done Is aided by
gnomes, sylphs, undines and salaman
ders. This will mnko lots of pooplo
satisfied to stay poor.
The Htandard Oil Company Is go
ing to Increase Its capital 1400,000,000,
giving tho new stock to tho old share
holders as a bonus. This may bo a
cunning schemo to keep Ida Tarboll
from buying her way In.
nusslan terrorists have condemned
Tremler Btolypln to death. It will be
hard for ex-I'reeldeut I'alma of Cuba
to understand how they can get any
body to hold ofllee lit Itussla for auy
amount of money or glory.
The prejudice against the uniform,
when It takes the form of refusing Its
wearers admission to public places of
amusement, whether or not It may be
Justified by experience, Is a bad thing
for the nary. It Is difficult enough uqw
to secure eullsUueuta for that service.
It will be still more dlillcult If It bo
come widely known that wearers of
tho uniform aro subject to hostllo so
cial discrimination on shore. Belf-ro-pectlng
young men ctf the shops and
farms, conscious of such proscription,
will shun tho service.
Under both Eugllsh and American
law every man Is presumed Innocent
until ho hus boon proved to, bo guilty,
but under old Kugllsh law when ho has
unco hud u trial in a court of compe
tent Jurisdiction and has been convict
ed tht'i presumption Is reversed ! It la
presumed that he has been Justly tried
wild Justly convicted. If ho question
the Justice of his conviction and car
ries that question up to a superlru
trlbunal, tho presumptions nro agnlust
him and In favor of tho tribunal. It
Is not, therefore, suftlclent for him to
ahow that some error has been commit
ted on tho trial ; ho must also make It
npicur to tho satlsfactlwt of tho appel
lato tribunal that this error has been
prejudicial to htm and really affects
tho Justice of his condemnation.
If we may accept the expert opinion
of tho famous sou of a fumcuis father,
pulpit eloquence has suffered a decline.
According to Iter. Thomas 8purgeou,
oil of the Into Her. C II. Spurgtxui,
the sermon of to-day Is no Iqnger the
power it was. It Is posslblo the mod
ru sermou may bo couched In equally
forcible language, but Its lutluonco can
not be compared with that wielded by
the exhortations of a generation ojr
more ago, Tho pastor to-day faces a
very different audience, an audience
thnt Is at onco critical nud largely un
impressionable. It doesu't ask for
rhapsodies, It Is Impervious to warning
lessons, It refuses to, have ita feelings
Every physician knows thnt wo may
Increase bodily suffering nnd oven on
Kcndcr tho very discuses wo most dread
by continually dwelling ujioh our bod
ily condition. On tho other hand, wo
may uuKineut our health-power by ex
pelling discordant thought or any other
enemy of health and happiness from
tho mind, ns ono would eject n thief
from his house. Tho mental conditions
that govern success are precisely the
samo aa thoso that govern health and
happiness. Success Is largely a crea
tion of tho mind. If wo would succeed
wo must framo tho mind for success.
Our thoughts must be of success, not
failure. A stream cannot rise higher
than Its source, nnd even a Raphael
could not paint tho faco of Christ with
Batan In his mind for a model. If we
have dwelt upon the dark side and
lived In the shadows, tho brain Is In
capable of producing bright, helpful
nentnl pictures. How can ono expect
to find success and happiness when ono
is going In the opposite direction, con
stantly feeding tho mind with visions
of disaster and failure? The mnln-
spring of all effective effort Is hope.
If hope Is strangled by gloomy fore
bodings there Is no Inccntlvo left. You
can antlclpnto failure and disaster so
long thnt your bralu is absolutely In
rupublo of giving off anything but mor
bid thoughts. You Increase discord by
admitting Its reality, Just aa you In
crease happiness by dwelling upon tho
things which mnlj you happy. So by
dwelling upon and anticipating fail
ure you Invito It and causo success to
fly from you. If we persistently shut
out every thought that discourages or
depresses, and keep the mind In a
bright, healthy, keen condition, then
the bralu cells will be clear to think
and plan and the body strong, active
and able to carry out tho bralu'a dic
tates. Tho mind that is unclouded by
the cobwebs of fear and expected fail
ure and quick to seize upon every pass
ing opportunity or advantago, will open
tho door to success. Indeed, the posses
sion of such n spirit ns this is success
itself. No material treasures thnt nny
man may ncqulro can comimro with
tho treasures of a hopeful, healthful
uilnd.
No Smoking In Street.
No snmklng was allowed In the
streets or parks of Ilerlln before May
23, 18JW, and offenders were punished
by a flue for tho tlrst Infraction of
tho rule and by Imprisonment after
wards. The King of Prussia In those
days detested smoking, and the police
and military men were under strict
orders to arrest anyone who smojeed
In public. It Is recorded thnt when
Napoleon occupied Ilerlln a hundred
years ago the Ilerllncra eagerly took
advuutage of the opportunity to smoko,
nud too a special delight In putting
smoke In the faces of the police, who
then had no power to arrest them. Iu
1832, however, the restriction waa with

A Pleasant Way to Travel
Tho above is the usual verdict of the
traveler using the Missouri Pncflc Hall
way between the Pacific Coast and the
East, and wa bellovo that the servlce
aud accommodations given merit this
statement. From Denver, Colorado
Springs and Pueblo there are two
through trains daily to Kansas City
and St. Louis, carrying Pullman's lat
est standard electric lighted aleeping
cars, chair cars .and up-to-date dlninc
cars. The same excellent service ia
operated from Kansaa City and St.
Louis to Memphis, Little Rock and
Hot Springs. If you are going East or
