Persons who are constantly saying
that they are free from prejudice are
generally more preiudiced than Others
though they are not aware OF the fact.
They are like the old lady who declared
that she was open to conviction, but,
shaking her head, she added that she
would Just like to see the man who could
convince her.
We have heard Of the man who said
that of all noises music was to him the
least disagreeAble; and OF his brother,
who said that he could never whistle
but two tunes, one OF which was "Old
Hundred" and the other. wasn't; but
real musical taste and talent were never
M a lower ebb than in the pupil OF
whom his teacher said that he did not
know enough of the diyipe science even
to play hand organ correctly.
There is great deal OF sham charity
in the world and bat very little OF the
genuine article, which, like good gold,
will stand the test, OF the crucible. If
we are going away from our enemies and
never expect to see them again we can
readily forgive them, but ii we are TO
remain i'm their midst We can hardly re-
sist the temptation to pay for an injury
with another injury. There is a vast
deal Of religion which closely resembles
that OF the man who said, "les, i freely
forgive him, at any rate until l get a
good chance to pay him back"
Have you ever come across a class OF
people who always manage to throw the
blame for wrong act on some one else,
and who invariably make themselves
out the injured party? They are not
the most agreeable people in the world,
for the simple reason that no matter
what thew do they always succeed in
making YOU feel that you are the sneak
thief after all. THAT man." said oRe OF
these folk, "has been scolding me Tor an
hour. and has told me at least forty
times that stole deliar from him, and
the simple truth is only stole hity
cents. don't want to be blamed for
what don't do"
A part OF the truth is apt to be equiva
lent TO none Of it. A young man was
asked how he could be happy IN
country town where he had been resid
ing for three months entirely without
company. "But was not without com
pany," he explained, ''ior spent every
evening with two sisters who lived IN
the house adjoining, and | assure YOU
the time passed very agreeably.' ~ es,
but YOU never spend your evenings
with your two sisters when you are IN
town" some one said. "and how could
YOU do il in the country" "Oh, he
answered, al forgot to say that they
were not my own sisters, and that l am
engaged TO one OF them"
The sons OF wealthy parents are likely
il is said. to turn out bad. Ii our observ
alton. however, ia correct We may add
that they are no. the only ones who gel
at the wrong end OF life. Riches may
have a tendency to spoil Il young man
but there are very few poor young mer
who wouldn't risk trial OF that danger
Gus experiment, and who wouldn't like
to find out practically just how muct
money it would take to spoil them. A
father who had large bank account
and who regretted the rapldity witt
which his son was living, once said L
him:-"Frauk, am not satisfied witt
YOUR late hours. Hereafter L propos'
10 have the house closed at ten O'Clock,
"Well, father" WAS the reply, "that vii

The difference between the value o
an article which you want to sell anC
the article which you want to buy II
very great. Ii you want to sell it yor
try to persuade the purchaser that 1t Il
the only one OF the kind in the world
that il was made expressly for you, ant
tnat Immediately alter it was made thu
pattern vas lost and the artist who made
the pattern died. Ii you want to buy
on the other hand, you declare tina
such things can be found at every stree
corner, that they are made by the mil
lion. and i'm certain countries they arr
thrown away as useless. All this u
called the policy of trade. The German
comic papers have picture OF q Hebrew
youth aSiride of horse when the iath

There is nothing in the world which
better illustrates the possibilities OF. al
enduring patience than German scholar
ship. The only stimulant in which tn
specialized professor indulges is a glas
of beer, or perhaps a mild cigar, or, bet
ter still, rare and delightful combine
ton Of both of these elements OF humaV
happiness. The American leaps wher'

happens that the tortoise; who plod
