IDEAS ON GOVERNMENT.

forming Its function* to the highest
degree o f efficiency, -with every u»an
true to hi* oath o f office, and the en
tire administration revealing no Im
perfections except those that are the
Invariable result o f our fallible hu
man mind. *In other words, free. In

underlying all we think or do is the determination that
there shall be uo alleu hand placed upon the administra

its administration, which shall be Impartial to the serv
ice of any particular Interest ; that there should be
equal justice, ability and Intelligent desire to serve the
Interests o f all. and tbatr.ln all our complications of
policy we should be swayed by no dealre' to win the favor
o f the moment, but by a constant dealre to build an en

GOOD HUMOR THE SAVING GRACE OF LIFE.
B y Camille Melllsnd.
The benefits Of good humor cannot be ex-
aggerated. The ideal would be always to be
in good humor, or, at least, to be able to put
fj
one's self In It i t w ill; to have only to press
K

Y
ored. This Is an Invention which would sur-
^
.peas In utility all the others; unhappily, the
inventor la still to come.
I, do not fear to proclaim that good humor
m u te s good humor. It Is a {ruth o f the beet evldfcncd.
Have you not noticed that In your days o f'g o o d humor

Good humor is often nothing but the consciousness o f
being loved. When we are In a position where we feel
ourselves loved we know that all are pleased and 4re
are in a Joyous humor. As a general rule, order produce#

the neceasary obligations. In order to be In a good hu

Queen Alexandra is having much
amusement with the Imitation rubles
which she. possessing some of the most
magnificent Jewels in Europe, can dare
to wear. Her majesty rarely wore any
thing but pearls and diamonds former
ly, so the rubles attract the more at
tention i n ^ i r o u i e admiration, which
the queen perfectly understands, Is not
provoked utterly by their beauty.
When any one praises the rubies her
majesty says, as If much gratified: “ Do
you like them? Y es; they are very
fine, aren’t they^ B eautiful!”
But
-hen she adds, smiling:
“ Between yon and me, they are Imi
tation.”

The rubles are snch astonishingly
good counterfeits that only an expert

false.

ally accurate astronomers explain that
It Is not a patch but rather something
which becomes visible by reason of the
anomaly that It contains nothing that
Is visible. The lay mind, preferring
bald reality to abstract truth, Is some

the coal sack Is visible because It inn-
tains nothing that is visible. In other
words. It Is a vast hole In the stellar
system In which' there - Is not even a
pinch o f stellar dust to shed a flicker
of luminosity. It |e typically and ab
solutely the quintessence o f blackness.
Because It Is so, and In contradiction
o f all preconceived notions, the human
eye can see It without the aid o f tele
scope or other Instrument. Between
the stars o f the Milky Way there are
'many little bole» In the stellar system
—little by comparison, that Is to say—

There Is a remarkable picture painted by the celebrated English painter,'
Hogarth. It Is called “ False Perspective.” There are houses In the fore
ground. a stream ln fh e middle distance, and a hill In the background. In a
spirit o f humor' Hogarth haa filled the picture with Impossibilities from the
standpoint o f perspective, and yet at the first glance a cureless observer would
detect nothing wrong In It
Here 'Is h somewhat Similar picture that shows what a queer-looking
jumble would result if the artist should ueglefcf the rules o f perspective la
parts o f bis drawing and follow them In others.
I f you were asked to polut out which o f the three elephants and which
o f the three giraffes traveling through tbs long, queer-looking corridor or
bridge sown In the accompanying picture are the tamest, would you not at
once place your finger upon the hindmost animals? The giraffe that brings up
the rear seems tto overtop the other two, and the elephant in front appears
but a dw arf compared with his big brother occupying the last place- behind;
and yet, surprising as it may aeem, you will find, by carefully measuring the
heights A>f the animals, that the nearest one* are really either tatyer than
those that follow or fully equal to them In sise.
The reasin that the latter look so much larger than they really are Is
because they do nof grow smaller In the same proportion as do their sur
roundings, which are drawn according to the rules o f perpectlve.
For you will notice that the Hues o f the roof, floor and sides o f the
building grow closer together as they vaulah in the distance. Tbs Illusion Is
further emphasized by the threeemen on the platform! These also are drawn
in accordance with the laws o f perspective—that Is. they appear larger or
smaller according to their distance from the eye of the observer.

who, in his soa’a absence during sev
eral years in pursuit o f an education,
quite forgot him, and was not reminded
o f his existence until a friend ar

The father was pleased with the
manners and wit o f the young man pre

a series o f misunderstandings aud er
