You have la puy 10 cents in New York for a chicken sandwich, and then it is usually made of turkey. You pay H cents for a ham snudwich. and then you have no idea what it Is made of. 1 was in the delicatessen trade in New York for three weeks, and I .have my suspicions. For 'J5 cents you can have a club sandwich. That is made of toast and chicken-turkey and bacon, nil hot and very good. It is well worth the extra expense, because the smell of the bacon disguises that of tfie chicken. American bacou is not good. It Is nearly always sold in glass bottles, as we sell Jam, which prevents its getting away. Personally I prefer its flavor to that of their chicken, because I was In a hospital once, aud I hate being re minded of It There are as many delicatessen stores In New York as there are wine shops In Paris or tailors in tin; city of Lon- don. To millions of good New Yorkers the most dazzling kind of orgy Is to spend the evening In a cinema theater, which costs G cents, and then go to a delicatessen store and have a ham sandwich. For the rest of the week they live upon dill pickles. Dill pickles are what we call gherkins, and they are far and away the most popular article of food in New York. You can get one for a cent A really big and Juicy one. which will do you for break fast with a bit over for lunch, costs 2 cents. The people of New York are simple and long suffering. The exist ence of the delicatessen store Is the proof of it lu no other trade In the world can you make so large a profit with so little truth. London Truth. A STORY OF MANSFIELD. The Great Actor Was Peculiar and Rather Inconsistent. . Richard Mansfield was peculiar if we believe half the things we have beard ubout him, but he was appreciative of favors, though he hud a queer way of showing it "One had to lie careful alraut help ing him." said an actor who bad play ed with Mansfield for years aud who greatly admired him. "When I joined his company the stage manager told me to get up in Mansfield's lines, so to be able to prompt him if he forgot, lie did one uight in 'Cyrano.' aud 1 gave him the word when ho was floun dering around. He took It and went on. But when he came off he gave nie a terrible scolding. Never in his life had he been so insulted. Was I an actor? Did I know the ethics of the business that I. a mere support, should give the word to the star? "I said nothing, but waited. The very next night in the same play aud almost the same scene he went up again. I stood still. He looked at nie. but I said nothing. In some way he got through, aud when he came off I got It again. Never had he been so In sulted. One of his actors let him flounder and never came to his rescue. Did I call myself an actor? Did I know and so forth? Then I gently re minded him that ho hud forbidden uie ever to help him again. He looked at ine. grunted three times and turned and went to his dressing room." New York Telegraph. Disraeli and Fame. Our uote on the genius who mistook Whistler for a star hailing from the music 'alls reminds a correspondent of a still more weird Identitlcation. Lord Houghton told the story: "I walked with Gladstone on Tuesday, and when he left me a gcntlcniau came up and said. 'Might I ask If that was Mr. Dis raeli?' Such is fame:" Real fame, however, was once the portion of Disraeli. Lady Dorothy Kevlll malls how Ileaconsfield once told her of an encounter with a cab man. He Jumped Into the cab. and Hie driver at once opened the trapdoor and remarked: "I know who you are. sir. and I have read all your hooks bar 'Lothair.' " The "dizzy" heights of fame!

Ha says that I beat him out of $3 In u poker ga me." "Not at all. I beard the remark my self." "What did he say?" "He said that you beat him out of $5,000 in a wheat deal." "Oh, well, then. I suppose it is all right. I hardly thought' he was tha kind of man to go around telling stories that reflected ou my character." Lite. Successful Expedient. 1 "I tried to sing my youngest boy to sleep." said Senator Sorghum, "but It wouldn't work. Then I told him a j story, and that wouldn't work either." "How did you get blm to sleep?" "My wife cauie to the rescue with one of her clever suggestions. I deliv ered one of my speeches to hiiu." Washington Star. Spiteful.

A,nd Then Be Sure That You Are Sat isfied With Yourself. It is not what people say about vou it's what you are that counts. The one person in all this world whom you should aim to satisfy is yourself. You ulone know yourself. Other people know your outward appearance, your actions, your deeds. You, and you ulone, know your motives, your ambi tions, your thoughts. Are you satisfied with yourself? It is your own fault if you are not Are you satisfied that you are doing the best you can in your work, that you are making the most of your time? Are you confldent that your conduct toward your family, your friends, your neighbors, your employer, cuuuot be improved'? Look yourself straight in the face this morning in your mind's looking glass. Ask yourself whether it is what people say about you or what you are that hurts. Analyze your own conduct in all matters. Put yourself in the other fellow's place and try to see your actions through his eyes. Imagine that you are your employer instead of yourself. Answer honestly whether if he knew us much niiout you as you know about yourself he would discharge you or would raise your wages. If you do this f conscientiously there are many things you will do differently. Remember this, too other people's opinion of you Is based on your own opiuion of yourself. Are you self re specting? Other people will respect you. Are you truthful? The world will believe you. Are you honest? Ev ery one will trust you. But weigh yourself frequently. Weigh yourself carefully. Be certain that your own opinion of yourself is Justi fied. Be satisfied with yourself. Wil liam Johnston in American Magazine. CRABBE, THE NEGLECTED. A Poet Whom Byron Called Nature's , Best and Sternest Painter. Dante was a great traveler and the greatest pen impressionist who ever wrote. He describes a landscape in a line so that it stays with you forever. He uses the fewest possible number of words, hardly any adjectives, and the picture leaps up before you. immortal and unforgetable. Who can do this among the moderns? Keats could. Tennyson gives you English landscape. If you read "lu Memoriam" you have lived a year in the English country and seen the march of the English seasons. Crnbbe can do It. Who reads Crablie? Nobody. And yet he is a wonderful poet, as realistic as Tolstoy and Arnold Bennett Byron called him the best painter of nuture "Na ture's sternest painter, yet her best" He writes almut the poor as they are, without sentimentality and with out exaggeration, and as a painter of English landscape he still remains the best. He may not be read by the mod ern generation, but he is not forgotten. A Frencbmau wrote a long and excel lent hook about him not long ago. Ho is safe lu the temple of fame, which place you have entered and can't leave. And this temple is like a wheel. It goes round and round, and some of its inmates are in the glare of the sun, and sometimes they are In the shade, but they nre there, and they never fall out Maurice Baring in MetroM)lltaa. Writing For Posterity. A prominent French critic, the story runs, once said to George Bernard Shaw: "You are putting on a new comedy Monday night Let me attend one of the dress rehearsals, won't you?" "Impossible," said Mr. Shaw. "My dress rehearsals are always private. I have to refuse even the most distin guished critics access to them." "But" said the other, "I want to write a critical criticism. If 1 have to write and telegraph It In a few min utes on Monday night It will be very hurriedly done, and I fear It will give a wrong Impression of your comedy to Paris the next day." "Have no anxiety on that score." Mr. Shaw replied. "My comedies are not written for the next duy.'j-Exchange. r BbE3TUDyON -) THE DELUGE EFFECT. Genesis 6:9-22; 7:11-24 Feb. 2. "For the viiym of tin is death; tut the gift of (Jod Is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lont."Komant 6'.K. SCIENTIFIC Bible students find the Bible story of the Deluge corroborated by Geology, As tronomy aud History. The old est records of Babylonia tell of the Deluge. But uo record compares with the Genesis account or gives a connect ed history of 105(1 years from Adam to the Flood. Geology demonstrates that, there have been several great deluges. When we ask whence such floods could come. Astronomy points us to Saturn and Jupiter with their "riugs," composed of minerals thrown off as gas when the planets were at white, heat. These gases cooled and formed vari ous rings. The ro tation of the plan ets on their axes causes these rings to spread out as great envelopes. and gradually to thin at the equator and thicken at the poles, until they collapse, causing delugps. The earth once had similar "rings," precipitated one after another, at long Interval during the Six Great Cre ative Days. God so timed His Plan that the last of earth's rings was still unbroken when man was created. But it had spread into a great canopy or veil. There could be neither rain nor storm under such conditions. (Genesis 2:5.) The temperature of the whole earth was equable, the sun's rays act ing upon the canopy as upon the white glass of a hot-house. Why the Polar Ice? Geology testifies to a Glacial Period, when great Icebergs, carried by floods of water, rushed from the poles to ward the equator. Scientists have traced great valleys cut by these Ice bergs during this period. The tollapse of the canopy caused a deluge at both poles, a flow of great tidal waves toward the equator and sudden, intense cold at the poles. The water froze so rapidly that In recent years animals with grass between their teeth have been dug out of solid polar ice. The vertical rays of the sun kept the equatorial atmosphere very hot until the trade winds sprang up. distribut ing the heat over the earth. The equa torial waters were also very hot until the ocean currents set In. These, like the Gulf Stream, carry the warm equa torial waters toward the poles. These processes,, going on for 4400 years, are gradually thawing out the polar re gions, and causing large numbers of icebergs to break loose from the polar glaciers, and distress mariners. Professor George Frederick Wright has dropped a suggestion which fits well with the Bible narrative that Noah's ark apparently remained near the place where it was built. As we understand the professor, the geolog ical evidences are that swift currents laden with Icebergs and rocks visited parts of America, Europe and Asia, but seemingly avoided Mt. Ararat. j where evidently an eddy formed, for alluvial deposits there are extraordi narily thick. The Cause of the Deluge. Let us inquire,' Why did not Divine providence precipitate the last ring be fore man was created? The answer is that God foreknew the rebellion of Satan and permitted the temptation and fall of man solely because He foresaw how ultimate good could be accomplished and valuable lessons be given both men and angels. All of His dealings are along lines of Justice, guided by Love Divine. Before the Flood wickedness had greatly increased, but not merely from human depravity. Some of the angels beenme disobedient to God. and by their greater intelligence led mankind Into depths of iniquity. Genesis 6:1-5. The Bible cites many instances where angels have materialized as human be ings. This power appears to have been possessed by an gels before the Flood. Some of them married daughters of men and lived as hu man beings. The children of these angels were hu man beings d i f fereut from Adam's family. We read that they were giants, "men 'All flesh died: of renown," who filled the earth with violence. Finally God's displeasure blotted them out of existence In the Deluge. God thus man if est ed Ills de termination to destroy sin. Antediluvian sinners of Adam's race . belong to the mass of mankind, with whom Messiah will deal during His Millennia I Reign of righteousness. Af terchastlsement for wilful disobedience, they may be. If willing, recovered from sin and death, and attain human per fectionat Jesus' cost. For the sons of angels by human mothers there Is no hope. Their exist ence was not authorized by God. They were not redeemed. They will have no awakening. As for the fallen angels, the Bible (ells us that for 4100 years they have been restrained "in chnlns of darkness." until "the Judgment of the Great Day." Jude .

North of Ne-.v York, author of an article on "Sani tation in Rural Communities." just issued by the United States Bureau of Education. As the natural intel lectual leader of his community, the rural teacher, he maintains, can do for public health in the country what the medical inspector- and school nurse are doing in the city point the way to clean living. Remarkable results are expected to follow adequate public health work by rural school teachers. It is estimated that if effective sanita tion were enforced the present aver age of 45 years for human life would be prolonged to 60. "In rural communities annually 400,000 persons die and about 2,000,000 othews are seriously ill from infectious diseases," Dr. North declares. "If only one-half of these deaths and cases of sickness can be eliminated it means that an immense field of useful work lies at the hand of the country school teacher, who will become a public health educator and will Instruct the children and the mothers and fathers how to pre vent the transference of poisonous bacteria from those who carry them them to those who do not." More teaching of physiology is not what is needed, Dr. North says. Physiology may satisfy the curiosity of children as to their internal or gans, but it does not protect them in any way against disease. The ris ing generation, whether in the coun try or in the city, has a right to be instructed in the first principles of sanitary science. Far from being too difficult to teach in the elementary school,' the subject of public health can be made both understandable and interesting. Such a simple operation as washing the hands, for instance, becomes at tractive when studied with reference to bacteria.

Dr. North emphasizes the need of special training in this subject for school teachers. He believes that normal schools and teachers' colleges should have regular courses in pub lic health, so that the country school teacher may be armed with the es sential facts of sanitary science. Mr. Rlerduuit You would say that the man who could boost his own town and at the same time ad vance his own interests and still failed to do so is not a good citizen. And still, do you realize that if you are not doing your share in drawing people to Ashland to trade, by offering good goods at right prices, that you are failing to take the opportunity to boost your town and your own interests?
