DEVICE INVENTED BY AMERICAN
SCIENTIST IS ACKNOWLEDGED
VAUJAHLE FUEL SAVER.
Baking bread and roasting meal
on ilie summit of a mountain with
out fuel is possible by the use of a
device invented by a scientist of
ihe Smithsonian institution, Wash-
ngton, I). C. The intensity of
the sun's rays is harnessed, the
unusual energy is capitalized, and
lood can be cooked bevond the
ine of perpetual snows.
An astronomical mirror at the
Smithsonian institution is capable
of receiving and measuring the en
ergy of ihe sun rays, calculating
ihat in summer the solar luminary
transmits upon each acre of land
equivalent to 7,500 horse-power.
I he so-termed "solar cooker"
consists of a hall cylinder of iron
lined with mirror glass, which
catches ihe rays of the sun and
concentrates them upon a metal
lube thai is the half-cylinder's axis.
The tube contains oil, which ex
pands and becomes lighter, by the
heat as it passes through the tube.
The latter is continued to form a
loop outside ihe half-cylinder, thus
making a sort of endless chain,
Passing through the loop, the
oil cools. However, the sun's
heat forcing the oil through the
portion of the tube inside the half-
cylinder, compels the cooled oil to
follow it, otherwise there would be
a vacuum. So while the sun shines
there is a continuous circulation of
oil. The "loop" passes through
a box which contains an oven.
Heat from the oil warms the oven
and does the desired cooking.

A WISH.
What would I ask For thee, wish fur the sweet ?
Skies that are peaceful and calm ?
Seas that are siormless and winds thai are soft
As the low breath of a psalm ?
No, as 1 love thee, 1 ask not that life
Be from all bitterness free;
Something of sunshine and something of strife
Dear one, is better lor thee.
Yet would 1 ask for thee out of my love
More of its sunshine than storm.
With just enough of life's shadow and strife
To keep the heart tender and warm,
Faith to look upward in gladness and gloom.
Hope 'mid the direst defeat;
Strength in all sorrow, and patience in pain,
These would I ask of thee, sweet.
These and yet more would I ask for thee, sweet;
Grace lo be faithful and strong;
Meekness to bear all thy crosses and care.
Courage to battle with wrong.
May the good angels who watch o'er the good
Guide thy dear feet as they roam
And in the land that is better than this
Give thee forever a home I
EVER BILIOUS?
Charleston. Miss. Mrs. R. V. Heins, of this place,
ssys: "I have never had to use very much medicine,
because if 1 felt headache, dizziness, or colds, bad taste
in the mouth, which comes from torpid liver, I would
take a dose or more of Black-Draught, and it would
straighten me out and make me feel as good as new.
We have used In our family for years
THEDFORD'S
and it certainly is the best liver medicine I ever saw.
It has not only saved me money, it has helped keep my
system in shape, and has never weakened me as so
many physics do. I recommend it to my friends and am
glad to do so." Black-Draught is the old, reliable liver
medicine which you have doubtless heard much about.
When you feel badly all over, stomach not right, bad
taste in your mouth, bilious, or have a headache, try
Thedford's Black-Draught. At all Druggists.
R . Always Insist on the Genuine!

TKIITII IS Till- SUMMIT 01' Bi:iNG;
JI.'STICR IS Till: AI'I'ICATION 01
IT TO AITAIltS."
Oharacier isguaged by the mod
icum of Truth possessed. Toward
it all good miliiutes, and even evil
acknowledges obeisance. The per
son of real character is ihe compos
ite of what is best in mankind, for
"all things exist in the man tinged
with the manners of his soul."
This quality tie exhales upon ilmse
about him, like a fragrant lluwer
in the midst of noxious environ
ment Through time he excites
the emulation of his fellows, and
his precepts and example are the
blessed heritage of posterity.
"Men of character are the con
science of ihe society to which ihey
belong."
Impurity is inefficient and des
tined to eventual failure. It is nec
essarily narrow in vision, seeing
only immediate eB'ecis, and content
with sensuous or brief achievement
generally attained by questionable
methods.
Character is courageous, though
often beaten down by circumstances
beyond its control, it never, to it
self, acknowledees defeat, but
with inherent strength, arises to
the battle with new weapons of ex
perience gained in each conflict.
While circumstances constantly
change, these alonecan never re
pair defects of character. Wrong
doing, if deliberate and with malice-afore-thought,
leaves an indelible
blot on the escutcheon. The wound
may heal, but the scar remains
despite the balm of time.
Those capable of fear are always
finding terrors. To such, mole
hills assume the proportions of
mountains, pigmies become giants,
the cry of Victory does not ring
out, they hear naught but the wail
of defeat. They become syco
phants at ihe feel of Success.
Character does not always wear
a chaplet of palms, but Frequently
bleeds beneath a crown of thorns.
It always carries its cross bravely,
and reviles not its pigmy detrac
tors, but raiher pities them and
says, "Father forgive them for
they know what they do."
Character "is never less alone,
then when alone,'' for it makes its
own environment, sustained by an
exaltation that is the consumma
tion of the ages, a transpport that
is a sparkling stream ever Fed by
eternal springs oF Truth.
Character is always Positive, and
in almost constant warfare with all
forces of negation. Love is its
strongest weapon. A word, warm
from the heart, will often disarm
the selfish foe, and cause him to
surrender ut discretion.
Contrast the deathlike cold of
atheistic philosophy, with the glow
ing fire of life diffused by charac
ler, whose component elements
Divine in their attributes.
"Character is Nature in the
highest form J'
The perfect man, since Cl.hris
is yet to be; but let us strive to live
so that those we leave behind may
think of us as benefactors to the
race, and may our monument con
sist of a halo of stars of thought
and deeds, that shall forever shint
in the firmament of recollection
