According to a Japanese newspaper the' founding of a society for the pre- Tentlon of cruelty to animals in thd Island empire has been warmly wel comed. One promoter of the society tell the storv of how Shigetada Hata keyama, a hero of the Gempei period showed his affection for his favorite charger by descending a steep dc clivity, carrying the horse on his back. Again it is paid that "whenever the well-known actor, Kikugoro, plays the parting scene of Shiobara and hi horse, the audience is melted to tears. The crueltv of the people toward dumb beasts is therefore only appar ent and by no means deep-seated In their hearts." New Courage In Old Age. There con.es a time In the life of nearly every man when he reallren I that he in growing old. Perhaps it la In the very prime of life, about the I fortieth year, that thjs recognition of I hla mortality gives the mont distress, ' and he la disDOsed to doubt whether It la possible for him to accomplish nvthln worth whll In the face of much evidence to the contrury it has bivD affirmed that a man who haa done nothing "treat heofe ' that "age will never do It; that life after forty consists mainly In leaning on previous acquisitions. However, as time goes on many a man develops n new cour age, and especially he resolves to live thoroughly and heartly to the last mo ment. As a French philosopher urged, a man should keep at his work as though immortal, even though he should know that death would come to-morrow. Another moralist asserts that a man who. on a sinking ship, should not take hla pill at the pre scribed moment and wind up ai watch lacks a manly quality. Any how, the man who at eighty, or any other age at which he retains 3 healthy mind, does not shrink from an undertaking merely because death is near gets the best out ' of life. Philadelphia Record.

Halcyon days was a name given by the ancients to the seven days that precede and follow the winter solstice, from the circumstance of the halcyon or alcedo bird selecting that period for hatching her eggs. While this pro cess was going on, the weather jvas generally remarkable for its calmness, and hence the expression has passed Jnto a proverb, signifying days of peace and tranquillity. Profits in Kerosene. The account given by H. A. Crafts In the Scientific American of the quan tlty of petroleum in storage In Call fornia is likely to Impress the reader wth the fact of how easy it Is to get rich if one only enjoyo- a monopoly of the natural resources of the earth, The Standard Oil Company, which is the chief concern to barrel up the wealth of California, has G.Ouo.OOO bar rels in storage and the largest of its reservoirs has a capacity of 500,000 barrels. Of course, there is an element of labor present in the buying, refining and shipping of the crude article. The regular price quoted at some of the oil fields is 20 cents a barrel, and some sales have been made as cheap as 14 cents a barrel. Th se who pay 14 cents a gallon in the stores for refined oil can see the amount of profit extracted from crude petroleum. But manufacture has been stimulat ed by the cheapness and the employ ment of oil as fuel has increased to such an extent that it is now equiva lent in cheapness to coal at 70 cents a ton. J. J.
