A very good and pious looking young
man applied for position in a well
known store last week. After he had
introduced himself and made known his
wants, the proprietor informed him that
he would like to have clerk, il he could
get one that would suit him.
II suppose you 60 to church, eh!"
he commented.
Yes, SIR"
"Do you drink?r continued the mer-
chant, eyeing him sharply.
"Neverl"
"Do you use tobacco in any formP"
Here the young man pushed the quid
into the roof of his mouth, and replied
with smile that wss cbildlike and
bland: :" never use the weed and new

most shocking habit that man can be
addicted to-
.'Do you frequent the policy shops"
"No, sir; never!"
do you 60 to the National Theater,
dog fights or boxing exhibitions?"
:" Never was at any in my life," was
the emphatic reply.
"Can you tell the ace Of diamonds
from the king Of clubsP"
"Iknow nothing whatever Of cards!m
"Do yon ever betP'
No, sir, don'tlf
"Suppose," said the merchant, "a
man should offer to bet one thousand
dollars TO ten that three-legged goat
could outrun greyhound, would you
take him?"
"No, sir.n

lishment; we don't want you've never

Although the brain Is estimated to be
but one-fortieth the weight OF all the
body, il receives about one-fifth Of all the
blood sent by the heart into the system,
and the analyses Of excretions show
that every three hours Of hard study
wear out the body more than whole
day Of severe physical labor. These
facts should Be accepted as proof that
children who are studying hard ought,
above ali things, to be supplied with
adequate food to the end that the
healthy mind may live on the healthy
body. All brain workers require d
more liberal supply Of food and richer
food than manual laborers, as brain
work costs the organization more than
hand work.

Let Us sec, was Wilder W. Perry, Ed

ice who wrote 10 person, that proof ex-
listed that the man written 10 had com
mltted a criminal offence, and that unless
he paid money, the offender would be
prosecuted BY Perry? Seems to us that
we have heard Of such a letter, and that
it comes very near to a very corrupt offer
for trial justice to make. Perhaps we
may be able to find those letters among
our archives, if circumstances shall seem
to call for their eXhumaton.
