The BENEFIT OF BEING KNOCKED
ABOUT IN THE WoRLD.-It is a
good thing for young men to be
"knocked about in the world"
though his soft-hearted parents may
not think SO. All youths, or if not
all, nineteen twentieths of the sum
total, enter life with surplusage Of
self. conceit, The sooner they are
relieved of it the better. II in meas
uring themselves, they discover that
it is unwarranted, and get rid of it
gracefully, of their own accord, well
and good if not, it is desirable, for
their own sakes, that it be knocked
out of them. A boy who is sent to
a large school soon finds his level.
His will may have been paramount
at home, but schoolboys are demo-
cratic in their ideas, and if arrogant,
be is sure to be thrashed into rec.
ognition of the golden rule. The
world is great public school, and
it soon teaches a new pupil his
proper place If he has the attrib-
utes that belong to a leader, he will
be installed in the position of a
leader if not, whatever his own
opinion of bis own abilities may be,
he will be compelled to fall in with
the rank and file. IF not destined to
greatness, the NEXT best thing to
which he can aspire is responsibility !;
but no man can either be truly great
or truly respectable who is vain,
pompous and overbearing.
BY the time the novice has found
his legitimate social status, be the
same high or low, the probability is
that the disagreeable traits of his
character, will be softened down or
worn away. Most likely the process
Of abrasion will be rough, perhaps
very rough, but when it is all over,
and he begins to sac himself as
others see him, and not as reflected
to the mirror of self.conceit, he will
be thankful that be has run the
gauntlet, and arrived, though BY a
rough road, at self knowledge. Upon
the whole, whatever loving mothers
may think to the contrary, it is a
good thing for youths to be knocked
about in the world ; it makes men of
them.

CAUTIOUS MEN.-Some men use
words as riaemeu do bullets. They
say but little. The few words used
go right to the mark. They let you
talk, and guide with their eye and
face, on and on, till what you say
can be answered in a word or two,
and they lance out a sentence, pierce
the matter to the quick, and are
done. You never know where you
stand with them. Your conversation
falls into their mind as rivers into a
deep chasm, and is lost from sight by
its depth and darkness. They will
sometimes surprise you with few
words that 60 to the mark like a
gunshot, and then they are silent
again, as if they were reloading.
Such men are safe counselors and
true friends in every case where
they profess to be such. To them
truth is more valuable than gold,
while pretension is too gauzy to de-
ceive them. Words without point to
them, are like titles without merit,
only betraying the weakness Of the
blinded dupes who are ever used as
promoters of other mems schemes.
CURIOUS RELICS AT HIGH PRICES.
The ivory armchair presented by the
city of Lubbock to Gustavus Vasa
was sold in 1925 to M. Scbinkel, a
chamberlain of the King of Sweden,
for 10000 francs; the prayer-book
used by Charles l., of England on
the scafold, fetched $500 francs:
the coat worn by Charles XII, at
the battle of Pullowa was sold in
Edinburg for SOL 1000 francs.
