BIGID COURT ETIQUETTE.
'Her Majesty" writes a London CORE.
spondent, 'ests at state dinners without
gloves" The reason for that is at once ap.
parent. 1t enables her Majesty to ger
better grip on the wing of a chicken. In
wrestling with the common hen of Com.
meIce at the dinner table, she must be
handled without gloves, or the battle is
lost. Gloves would also be very much in
the way when her Majesty desired to clutch
an ear OF corn by each end, the tip and the
lobe, so to sneak, while she gnaNed at it
smidships. You see, there are hundred
emergencies that might arise during the
progress OF state dinner wherein gloves
would be in the way.
PLEASURES OF ANTICIPATION.
Very often, my son, II is the dread OF
punishment, rather than the punishment
itself, that restraints us from evil doing.
Many times boy would gladly run away,
and go fishing on Sunday, If he could only
get his father TO thrash him in the morn.
ing before he sets out; then he could ENJOY
the whole long day without a pang. But
when he has to wait until evening for il,
the dread Of that unknown i'll that awaits
him clouds all his skies and pitches all his
songs in miner keys.
DON'T CATCH WHAT YOU DON'T WANT.
Yes, my sop, it's true that molasses catch
es flies better than doth vinegar. But it is
also true that, as rule, you don't want to
catch flies; you want to drive them away.
Argyll, don't smear yourself with molssses
When you are liable to be exposed to flies.
There is only one kind of flies you want 20
catch, and moIasses isn't sweet enough nor
sticky enough for that. Time flies, my
son, time flies.
VERY LIGHT DISCOUNT.
A newspaper has the startling headline,
GA New York drummer elOpes with a
married woman and her three children!"
Oh, we'll, don't get excited about thatl
That's only FIVE off; tina. isn't mach for g
New York drummer.
TOO OLD TO BE GOOD.
No, Edward, it hasn't. You are correct;
the nag of our beloved country has no
scars of centuries. It is a flag without
history. 1t is no huttering dairy. It is q
flag that makes history, and it makes good
history, too. You keep night along with
your studies, and don't grievs because the
fag.isn't as old as the grave. The older flag
is, the more stains there are on it; the
more wrong il has protected, the more evil
and shame and iniquity, tyranny and foul
abuse it has proudly floated over. A flag
five hundred years old is very apt to be
ashamed Of every thread in its fabric
Would you compare the vicious old sinner
of eighty years with the laughing babe in
the cradle?
TIE LONELY NAN.
There are 400, 600 GOO people living on
the planet which we inhabit. And yet
there is now and then a man who wonders
what the rest OF rs will do when he dies
There are people IN society" who honestly
think that all the world closes its eyes
when we lie down to sleep. There are men
who fear to act according to their own
convictions, becsuse, perhaps, ten persons
in q crowd OF l, 400, 000. 600 will laugh at
them. Why, if man could only realize
every moment what busting, busy, fassy
important little atom he is in all this great
ant hill OF important, fussy little atoms,
every day he would regard himself less
and think still less OF the other molecules
IL the corral.
