I lie chances are you have no good reason for your bluish feel i il ;t . It may be caused by a bad liver or an insurgent stomach. Or it may be your "temperament." Or there may be some adequate rea son. Hut I hese ihiiijjs aside, your case is curable. 1 he cause of your trouble is in side of you -in your thinking. You ihink the world is all wrong, but you are somewhat like ilie drunken man who thinks every one is intoxicated. The world is not wrong. You are wrong. Now for ihe cure: I put the prescription in two words, and will write it, not in l-atin, as the doctors do, but in t'nglish. It is this: H.) something ! It is not important what you do, but it is important that you quit your brooding over fancing trou bles and do something that will change your point of view. Your mind has been hypnotizing itself. The will power has been broken down, and some of your faculties are running without a governor. You have permitted your mind to delude itself. Do something. Cet your mind in shape to overcome its inertia. Do something, if it is only to clean your teeth or brush your clothes or carry in coal. Change the current of your thought. ( live your will power a chance to assert and right itself. Look at your troubles from a dif ferent point of view. Smile if you can. Smile at yourself and the worst is over. You v, ill begin to see the sih. er lining of the clouds. On the oilier hand, if you con tinue i i nurse your blue feeling it w ill grow into a grouch. You will inn only make yourself more miserable, but cause discomfort to every one about you. 1 )o something. ( iet out of the rut. Conditions are largely what we think them to be. II you think blue thoughts vou will have blue feelings. You can make your thoughts to suit you. If blue thoughts are j not to your taste change them to . suit. ! The best wiy to change your ; thoughts is to do something. ' tie Won't I. imp Now. N,i Inii.lii; IV.

The mellowed murmur of the winds in many a lowly vale, Or moaning on the mountain side, or thundering in the gale, Tossing aloft the faded leaf whose sere and shriveled form Has left its forest harbor to the laughter of the storm. Brief is the hour of beauty, and it may be that afar, Blooms many a tender leaflet!! many a lonely star, Or brightens many a forest where no sympathetic eye Marks where the blush of loveliness is lifted to the sky. Forgotten soon, for soon 'tis gone where evanescent bloom Clows in the rising morn, and glides into deepening gloom Of night, or where the robing of the forest fades away, And leaves but evening ashes for the glory of the dav. And yet there is a vision that forgets not even it k .il A faded, shivering, lonely, hidden, lost and di r. en leaf - Not one among the myriads which fly on w ildest wing, And counted by ihe thronging multitudes a worthless thing. A vision which reveals why even a torn nnd quivering leaf Is bound to deeper purposes, as many a golden sheaf Is bound, by that infinite law whose order, by and by, Flings yet again a brighter bloom unt; a lovelier sky. Thou faded leaf in the savage wild, 01 Ion .ly fores: glen, Tho' stained and spurned by all the countless multitudes of men, Behold the love that follows thee in every wandering way And seeks to turn thy winter night into the summer day.

A man who was staying at home during the past summer, not hav ing received his weekly letter from his wife, thought he would be s nan and send her quotation from t'le Bible that would surely bring a letter by the next mail. Not having a Bible handy, he depended on his memory, and wrote as fol lows : "My dear wife: Proverbs, xxv, 21 John." I le did not gel any mure letters. When his wife returned he asked her why she had not written. She showed bun Ins quotation. He looked at Ins Bible and said: "Oh, I.ordl 'l quoted the wrong verse; it should have been l'rov. I I need your help as much as you need mine, You think to sing is something quite divine; 1 think to be a banker must be great. Yet each of us have grievances to state, And each needs each in mutual trust loshate The daily burden and the daily care. There is no life that is so sweet it feels No prod and thrust of all the haie that reels In whirling simoons round the weary earth; There is no life that is forever mirth; There is no life that does iu.i need another To lean upon as brother leans on brother. I take light words, sweet words, this Fugiish tongue Of resonance and beauty, feeling young With high elation, and it bubbles strong In flowing fountains of the bloom of song, But deep beneath the fountain (lows the sea That tosses you the same as it Joes me.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHERS CASTORI, THE PUPILS KNEW. "These 'kids' 1 teach aren't a bit slow," observed a school teach er recently "In fact, I'm afraid they read the papers. "The other day I proposed the following pro blem to my arithmetic class : " 'A rich man dies and leaves $1,000,000.

Wot k is a good antidote to worry. Busy people do not have time to fret about tomorrow. If you want lo master your troubles go to work ai something, if it is but sawing wood. When we fold our hands we offer ourselves as targets to the arrows of anxiety and grief. Work that engrosses, that claims our thoughts as well as our efforts, is the deadliest to worry and repin ing. In life's contests there are prizes enough to go around. It is true mat not every young man can gain "FATHERS." 'Six Things,'' Says "Are Requisite to Home. Hamilton, Create a TESTIMONY i nc enre ii ui nl "Integrity must be architect, and tidiness the decorator. It must be warmed by affection, lighted up by cheerfulness; industry must be the ventilator, renewing the atmos phere and bringing in a fresh sa lubrity day by day; while over all, as a protecting glory and canopy, nothing will suffice except the blessings of God." Several years ago this clipping came to my no tice, and as lime passes the beauty and strength of the combination, husband and wife working togeth- enormous wealth. Not every ! er Ullder the canopy ot God s bright ambitious boy can-be a states-i blessing, have grown upon me. It man. But the real health, hap : piness, good friends, a quiet con 1 science, simple pleasures, the joy of helpfulness are not the rare ' prizes reserved for the few. There i are enough of these for all. You have strength enough for j today's work. What breakes peo j pie down is tomorrow's burden, j You have courage for the present ! trouble. That which sweeps you i off your feet is the disaster that is j on the way. You would get along j without any difficulty if you were ; satisfied to live in the present. The : reason that we fail is that we try to i live in the future; with just re : sources sufficient for today. The world's standard for its I workers arc continual! advancing. I A generation ago preferment was easy in scores of lines where today every inch of advance must be fought for. Fmerson expressed the truth by saying that the world is ; no longer clay, but iron that each man muct hammer out a place for himself. And what was true in Em erson's time is true in ours. TIIF VALUE OF THE ABANDONED. Nothing Dies To iod. So many of the things of the past are valuable to us. God means to gather up for us what we have cast away, and make it a blessing. The The wrappings about the entombed Lazarus are rendering better ser vice, laid aside, than when they enshrouded him, for now ihey speak of a living l.azarus. The broken and useless alabaster box is really more precious now that it has been broken in love for the Chi ist than when n contained all its precious ointment. The gar-! ineiits that Dorcas made have long since been shreds and dust, but i they render a better service to the ; world than they rendered while she lived. Dorcases have multi plied under inspiring spirit until there are many of them now called bv common names. The cross, the folded napkin that wrappcS the face of the dead Christ, laid aside, are mementos of what I le glorified. The bandages of death 1 bioken by Hun make thousands hopeful and fearless in the face of dissolution, Nothing dies to God. The past ' is ever present to him and the far- j oil' is near. The desert becomes a ' garden to us if its barrenness leads ' us to seek Him The moments of forced idleness, if they lead to meditation, turning our attention away from mere routine duties to ; eternal realities, are our richest monuments, the very jewels of tune. It is exceedingly easy to ; measure the value of comfort, and i of a clear open pathway according ; to the estimates of this world, but it is not easy to measure the value ot comfort, and a clear open path-' way according to a better, if not a pleasanter way. Our choice of; tilings may be our most worthless, : and despised things ih- mosf val- i should be no one-sided affair. The industry of one will not atone for the lack of integrity in the other, nor any amount of good humor on the part of one make amends for the loss of affection on the other's part, while a disjointed, mangled method of living can not, in the very nature of thing, evoke or draw upon itself the rich blessings of our Father, whose very being is love, justice and order. As books are dedicated, hospit als and orphanages set apart for special use, as churches are conse crated, so every home should be sanctified, and the dedicatory pray er should be read somewhat after this manner "Father of all, may this house shelter a happy family, may it be the dearest spot on earth to all the household, and may one of the many mansions in the better country at last receive all who be long to this one." The disintegration of the home is one of the perils that menace our national life, and one of the causes is that the foundation is in adequate. The wife and the moth er, even though she has the devo tion of a Lois, the strength of a Deborah, the voice of a Miriam, the consecration of a Hannah, can not alone support the institution which God purposed should rest equally with her, upon the shoul ders of a Samuel, a Joshua or a John. I heard a story recently of some children who had earned their Christmas money by being caddies for golf players. Their father found a memorandum of their intended expenditures. It ran as follows: Mother, one dollar; father, seventy-five cents; Sister Susan, fifty cents, etc. "1 low is this laddie?" said the father. "Why do you i mean to spend a dollar for your i mother, and only seventy-five cents liir me?" "Oh!" was the sufficient answer, "Mother's moth er. " Who but the father is re sponsible for the priority of mother in the lad's expression of his atf'ec tions' - Presbyterian. Mrs mma IJailey Proves That Lydia E.
