Headquarters of the American Mint tog congress have been opened In Washington to promote the establishment of a national bureau of mines. President Taft and Secretary Ballinger of the interior department are said to favor such a bureau.

The practice of reaolving presents a similar aspect It la not entirely perfect at present But considering the few years since Adam inaugurated the outdoor sleeping fad and become grandpa to the human race It ia not surprising thst some details are still to be worked out The forming of the resolution has keen beautifully worked out till almost any one, the merest novice, can resolve. 'The date, too, has been firmly fixed as on the first of January. The chief difficulty that till remains has to do with keeping the resolution once It Is made. Something like keeping your aeroplane right side up once you hare established a neighborly relation with the star. Probably several years wlll elapse of resolving ''"tfie'rcu8t6iu reaches perfection and In the meantime It might be well to adopt a makeshift for the present unattain- Before able.

There are several advantageous features to this resolution. To begin with It la humane. Just think of forcing the poor old lady to teeter down the street with little c'jurch steeples under her sole leather! Her stiver locks bob under her 1'gr.Ified black bonnet and at every gainful step she whispers Ouch." Flo Tor a young men resolve torn this day never again to smoke a pipe church. This. sample Is highly recommended. The practice agslnst which you. issue the edict of banishment la reprehensible In the highest degree. Smoking, while of course It might be a solace to ,you during the sermon, could not but annoy, your neighbors and fellow worshipers. ITh men -- envy, you, heading to countless domestic difficulties for them. Tbe preacher Is unable to see whether an the deacons ars awake or not by the hase from your pipe. Moreover, just as a distinguished statesman once officially declared that the odor of cigarettes annoyed him there are those to whom the smell of a pipe la a nuisance and the offertory collector might be one of these. Besides, you would probably be thrown out or arretted or something. For men who ride much Jn street caret henceforth I will not mind the feathera. This Is one requiring considerable care but If strictly adhered to will be found of great assistance to your dally life. When depending from a strap and resting your toes on some neighbor's a long stiff quill suddenly Jabs you In the noee giving to thst feature the rich red that which another class of resolvists have already c quired, do not release your temper.

So long as the ' will T&StllOETOirnhrTBesame'l-mhave your dally communion wth the tall feathers of an ostrich of of a roorter and If you resolve not to mind, how much more placid the temper!

Its advantage are many, but all the others ary overshadowed By thfs one you cant get any to eat ' , In spite of Jill the teacher may do the pupit will not learn unless he himself studies. You cannot make successful use of these sample resolutions without effort on your part But you should find one among them which can be kept with the minimum of struggle.
