No man can be providert Of his time
who is not rrovident in the choice Of his
company.
He who reigns within himself and
rnles his passions, desires, and fears, is
more than king.
ENVY is passion so full Of cowardice
and shame that nobody ever had the con-
fidence to own to it.
The spring style Of the commonha
organ has only one stop. 1t begins in
the morning and stops at night.
Two sisters--twins-have to be told
every thing together, because they are
30 exactly alike they can't be told apart.
AFTER bordering for six years on the
query, Why do animals fear fire?"a
southern professor answers, Because
fire Is hot"
MOODY, speaking on the duty Of
waking the sleepy fellows who slnmber
in Church, says: "a bunch from the
elbow may save SOUL"
The battle cries of the Turkish army
nust be very enthusing. Think of a
General in bag trousers shouting along
the line: Remember Biuna Djunee."
Anger in dispute is like an unquiet
horse in dusty way--it raises such
cloud in the eye of the understanding
that 1t obscures the vision and impedes

STRENGTH for to-day Ia all that we need,
As there never will be d tomorrow
For Tomorrow will prove but another to-day,

Then why forecast the trials Of life
with such sad and grave persistence,
And watch and wait Tor crowd OF ills

cream These children cannot eat SKIM
milk for breakfast" "Sure, ma'am, it
isn't mesilf that would be afther giving

CHILDREN must have love inside tho
house, and fresh air, and good plsy and
some good companionship outside-oth-
erwise young life runs the greatest dan
ger in the world of whitening or growing
stunted, or at best prematurely old and
turned inward on itself.
A NEW feature has been introduced
into some of the country schools When
one of the girls misses word, the boy
who spells it gets kiss from her. Sew
eral girls are fast forgetting all they ever
knew about spelling, while the boys are
improving with unexampled rapidity.
GATHER up the fragments. In every
human life there are sure to be somc.
Every one Of us has secret chamber
somewhere, filed with inhabitants whom
none but himself can see it rests wit
himself alone whether they shall be de-
caying corpses, or only beautiful ghosts.

A LADY writer desires to be informed
"why there are no female tramps" She
refers to an accepted fact, that there are
more women than men in the country,
and cannot understand how 1t is all OF
