Sudden wealth never yet made a man any less a fool than he was be fore he got it. A man will never find his right place in life if he thinks somebody else Is in it. The man who is always so sure that he knows a good thing when he sees it Is often taken for one himself. No man ever gets to be so rich that he thinks he would be happier if he didn't have so much money. The man who can not handle today is no match for tomorrow. Judge. Anything Possible These. Day.

ITHIN two days' journey of Philadelphia lies one of the most remarkable lands in the world. Imagine a land of the simple life, that per sists in maintaining its cheerfulness, beauty and youth, and refuses to grow up; a place where it always is spring; where the motor car and the trolley are never seen; but where exists the most delightful kind of civilization, the civilization that makes its way without noise, or haste, a very com fortable sort, in fact, and that is the Bermudas, says the Philadelphia Pub lic Ledger. When one steps from the steamship at the wharf at Hamilton, one seems to have at the same moment moved into yesterday, and the change is not so violent as one might believe. Nev ertheless, it is a change. The absence of tall buildings, the prevalence of white ones, almost all of them of stone, Indicates that one has left home behind. It is impossible to find something compatible with the new vision, for there is no place like it in the world. There is a suggestion of the tropics, but the temperature is most temper ate. The winds are of the kind usu ally referred to as balmy, and to know just what that word means one has to go to these little islands south east of the Gulf stream. Hundred Fair-Sized Islands. It is Incorrect to allude to the land as Bermuda, for there is a small archipelago, and collectively the is lands are known as the Bermudas. But Americans probably always will refer to it as Bermuda. The Bermudas consist of about one hundred fair-sized islands, but if one counts all the islets that are visible when the tide is at ebb then, as some Industrious geodetic surveyor has left it of record, there are 365. The total land area of the islands is 1914 square miles. In a general way the main islands are arranged in the form of a fish hook, and the distance from one end to the other is about twenty-five interest. Bicycles are also used, for the roads are built of the same white coral stone that serves for the build ings, and this makes most admirable roadways. Unfortunately, the roads, as a general rule, are only 20 feet wide, and that was regarded as too narrow to permit automobiles to be used, so there is no use trying to take a motor car to Bermuda, for the ma chine will not be permitted to be landed. Simple, Pleasant Life. While there is nothing without in terest on the islands to the visitor, it still is the land of the simple life; and not so very simple, either, when one considers that there are two places where one may see moving pic tures. There is something progres sive about that, but it must be re membered that the total resident pop ulation of the islands, and that in cludes the two towns, although Hamil ton, the capital, is called a city, is only about 21,000 persons. The remainder of the population is floating, being augmented upon the arrival of each steamship and likewise being dimin ished by the departure of every ocean going vessel. There are plenty of amusements for the visitor, but they are naturally almost all of them of the outdoor variety. The climate and the general character of the weather rather Bug- gests this kind to the visitor, for while there is no lack of rain in this little land, the porous character of the white coraline roadways absorbs the water as soon as it falls. Just imagine a land where there is no mud to be found on the roads, even after a heavy rain. But this is a fact about the Bermudas. Frost is unknown there. Plenty to See and Do. There are bathing, sailing, fishing; the most beautiful lagoons and lakes in the world; rocky coasts, sandy beaches, Islands that Invite one to visit them; caves, an aquarium, sea gardens, long roads, bordering the sea or lakes; hills rising about two hun dred and fifty feet from the sea, cov- System Wrong.

A young man dropped into a state of coma and it was several days be fore he fully recovered. Later he spoke of his experience with a party of his friends. "Oh, yes," the young man said, in response to a question, "I knew all the time what was going on, and I also knew that I wasn't dead, becaust my feet were cold and I was hungry." "I see," thoughtfully said one of his friends, "but how did that make you think you were' still alive?" "Well," answered the young man, "I knew that it I were in heaven I wouldn't be hungry, and that if I wore anywhere else my feet wouldn't be cold." Philadelphia Telegraph. Appreciating a Philosopher.

RuBBtR trtx im Bermuda. miles. The largest of the group Is Bermuda island, which is nowhere wider than three miles, and has a length of fourteen miles. As the average person does not like to burden himself with details about geographical position, expressed in degrees, it will be better appre ciated how near home these delight ful islands are by merely saying that they are 810 statute miles from the steamship pier In New York to the pier at Hamilton. The distance is about the same as that of Chicago from Philadelphia. There Is still an other way of indicating the location of the Bermudas, and that is to ex plain that the group lies about six hundred miles east of South Carolina, Just a little north of the latitude of Charleston. They are nearer to the United States than they are to any other land. Housei All of White Rock. One of the first things that strikes a visitor from the unnea states wnen he catches bis first glimpse of the hills of the Bermudas is the spots of white which powder them. As the steamBhlp approaches It Is discovered that these almost sparkling white dots are roofs of the houses. To a people accustomed to tin roofs painted red, or to slag houBe coverings, it re quires some time to become recon ciled to the sight of white-roofed build ings. 4 The houses are all, that Is all that are found in the two towns Hamil ton, the capital, and St George, the old capital constructed of a white coraline stone that Is found on the islands. The roofs are whitewashed, with the design, principally, of keep ing the drinking water pure. Transportation in and about the islands is of two kinds, by one-horse Tlctorlai and by steam ferries and ateamboata, to the various placet of ered with cedars and shrubs; acres of Easter lilies under cultivation, and plantations where the delicious Ber muda onions and potatoes are raised A long causeway connects the two largest islands, and nearly every va riety of beautiful landscape is close at hand. For so small a place as these Islands there is an extraordinary amount of natural wonders. There is a weird old cave whose roof has tumbled In at one time or another, and into which the water of the ocean pours in at low tide, moaning In a most fascinating manner. They call this well, which has been stocked with fish native to these waters. Devil's Hole, on account of the noise the water makes when it enters. It is a natural aquarium and the fish in it have been looked at by visitors for so long a time that they rather like the experience, and even answer to a call for dinner. Then, just a few miles outBide, specially fitted boats, which have glass windows In their bottoms, take wonder-struck tourists to a fine stretch, where the watert is perfectly clear, and the passengers are shown the beautiful coral on this sea floor, like a marine garden of great beauty. Pound Cake. Cream a half cupful of butter, add one and a half cupfuls of pastry flour once sifted. Boat the yolks of five eggs until thick, add one and a half cup fuls of powdered sugar, gradually, beating constantly. Combine the mix tures and add the whites ct five eggs beaten stiff, and one teaspoonful of va nilla. Sift over one teaspoonful of baking powder and beat thoroughly. Turn Into a buttered, floured pan, and bake In a moderate oven. Remove from the pan, and cut in fancy shapes. Cover with boiled frosting, garnish with shredded cocoanut, fruit or rose leaves. Cat Saved Soldier's Life. A singular story of an English of ficer having his life Baved by a cat Is told by Sir M. Lloyd of Newport, Pembrooke, England, the father of the officer In question. Lieutenant Lloyd became detached from his regiment near the French frontier. He found refuge in an outhouse, where be re mained In an exhausted condition for three days. When he was found a cat was discovered curled around bis neck, and it was the conviction of bis rescuers that but for this cat Lieu tenant Lloyd would have) perished from the cold. Nice 8ugar Cookies. Cream one-halt cupful of lard, one- half cupful of butter, one cupful of granulated sugar. Add one cupful of rich sour cream, two unbeaten eggs, four cupfuls of flour mixed and sifted with one teaspoonful of soda and one- half teaspoonful of baking powder. Stir just enough to make a stiff dough; toss on to a lightly floured molding board and knead another cupful of flour into it Flavor with a little nut meg, roll out and cut into cookies and bake. His Recipes. "I see," said Bilklns, "that a French scientist has discovered a method for staving off old age." "Well, what of it?" demanded wii- kins. "There's nothing new in that. A man can stave off old age by Jump ing off the Eirfel tower, or dropping a lighted match In a powder barrel while sitting on it, or by rocking the boat when he s out on the water, or by riding over Niagara falls sitting astride of a log. Those French scien tists make me tired with their hullaba loo over nothing." Harper's Weekly. A Solution of the Far-Eastern Tangle. Why should not the United State let Japanese energy and engineers and workmen work with American capital in the development of China's re sources? The Japanese are willing and eager to earn dividends for American capi tal, if America is willing to give just rewards for their labor. China would welcome American capital, for she knows that there is no string of terri torial consideration tied to it Chinese coolies would be delighted to find work in mines and factories. The hardest work has no terror for them. It is empty stomachs, and the appall ing and ever-growing number of them, that they fear. And America, why should she ob ject to handsome dividends on her in vestment, to. the increase of China's purchasing power, to the expansion ot American trade with the Far East, to a better understanding between her and Japan? Besides, this answer to the Far East ern question solves also the California problem. Let American capital and Japanese energy develop northern Manchuria and Yunnan, and you will see with what an Indecent lack of manners "the politest race on earth" would turn their backs on the smiling foothills of California and the thirsty cities of Arizona.
