A short Chapter on "Luck. ;,

We have always had our doubts as to the
existence of what is generally termed ''luck. {"
Men who, either by favorable circumstances
or an unexplained freak Of fortune, are al
ways seeming to be favored, are termed
'lucky," and many are inclined to covet
them its possession. But here is a truth
full remark from one of our exchanges,
which bears out our theory that 'luck" is
only myth and in reality it is only by our
own personal exertlons and efforts that we
are ever really lucky: "If the boy who ex-
claims, Just my luckr was truthful he would
say, Just my lazinessr or Just my inatten-
toni
Mr.. Golden wrote proverbs about Luck
and Labor 1t would be well for boys TO
memorize them. Luck is waiting for some
thing to turn up. Labor, with keen eyes and
strong will, will turn up something. Luck
lies in bed and wishes the postman would
bring him news of a legacy. Labor turns
out at q O'Clock, and with busy pen or ring
ing hammer lays the foundation Of COM
potency. Luck whines, labor whistles Luck
relies on chance, labor on character Luck
strides down to indulgence Labor strides up
ward to independence"

British Divorce statistics.

The return of divorce suits and judicial
separations, asked for by Mr.. Gladstone last
December and just published, gives a series
of figures extending from 1858 to the end of
1887. OF course no comments are made only
the bare numerical statement is printed, but
che figures speak eloquently enough. Alto
gether, during the thirty years over which
the record extends, there were 9, 734 petitions
for judicial separations and &c, SCI for divorce
OF the former, rather more than one-third
were successful and about one-eighth were
dismissed; the rest, that is to say, more than
half, being arranged privately. A much
larger part of the divorce cases resulted sue
cessfully, the number of DEGREES pronounced
being 1921, an average of 266 per year, and
nearly three-quarters of the number of petit
tions. About 2,428 cases never came to a
hearing, but of those which were brought
into court only Sl2 or one-thirteenth of the
total, were dismissed. The queens proctor
interviewed in 294 cases, four times out of
five with the result of a reversal of the de-
cree. But such general summaries give a
very poor idea of the actual state of things
which this striking return reveals If the
various statistics are studied carefully it is at
once obvious how very greatly the number
of petitions has increased in recent years.

cepv IN leap year, all other Sundays OF the
year. In leap year there are two Dominica
letters, the first for the Sundays between
Jan. and Feb. 20, the second for the other
Sundays of the year, the Interpolation being
postponed until the end of February instead
of being made at the beginning of the year.
We do not know who invented the Domini-
cal letter; perhaps Dionysius Exiguus, who
lived A. D. $50, and devised the Dionysian or
common era, dating it from the time of
Christ The Dominica letters are based on
the Roman nundinal letters; the Roman
market day happened every ninth day. The
Christian adopted the Jewish week, and nee
essarily the nundinal letters fell into disuse
among them. There are no year letters; the
golden numbers represent the number of the
year in the lunar cycle of nineteen years; at
the end of that cycle the moon has her
changes on the same day of the solar year
and month on which she had them nineteen
years previously. The numbers of this cycle
are of great use in determining Easter, and
got their name by being written in the calen-
dar in letters of gold

The Oyster in Mud.

DR.. A. Oemler, an authority on the oyster,
who recently read paper on the subject be-
fore the Georgia Historical society, says:
Mud is the most formidable enemy Of the
oyster Even if the water which passes
through its gills or lungs is muddy, the little
creature dies from asphyxia or suffocation.
If, in its search for the homestead, upon
which its life depends, it encounters a film of
mud the thickness of a sheet of writing
paper, its fine, soft organs of locomotion
being inadequate to free it from the engulf-
ing medium, its course is run. A large oyster
may be deposited upon a muddy bottom and
survive, provided the mud be of sufficient
consistency to sustain its weight so that its
bill may reach high enough above the
bottom of the animal to draw clean water
through its gills for the publication of its
blood, and into its mouth for its support. "

Castle Williams.

Castle Williams, not William, is on the
western extremity of Governors island in
New York harbor 1t looks like a tower, or
like a cheese box that isn't on raft. Fort
Lafayette is on an island in the Narrows,
under the bluff on which Fort Hamilton
stands. Castle Williams was named after
Col Jonathan Williams, who was first
commandment of West Point in 1902, engineer
in chief of the army in 1905, and died in
1915. He built most of the inner fortifca-
tons of New York harbor, including Fort
Columbus and Castle Williams, on Cover

Longevity.

The average age at which mankind die is
now forty years. and is steadily on the in
crease. The United States, despite the talk
about the rapidity with which the Americans
wear themselves out, FORCES ahead of every
other nation on earth in respect to the lon
gevity of its citizens, fifty-five years being
the average here. Of all the nations of En-
rope Russia is the most of a favorite with

From Gate to Horn.

The Golden Gate connects San Francisco
bay with the Pacific ocean. The Golden
Horn is the curved inlet of the BosphorIrs
forming a considerable part Of the harbor Of
Constantinople. To go from the Golden Gate
to the Golden Horn, the route is over the Pa
cifc ocean, Magellan straits, Atlantic ocean,
Straits of Gibraltar, Mediterranean sea, Gre
clan Archipelago, Straits of Dardanelles, Sea
of Marmora and into the Bosphorus The
Golden Horn is SO called from its curved
shape, and is large enough to float 1900 ships
at one time.

Cnrpenter,s Great Painting.

When Carpenter painted the picture of the
deathbed of Lincoln the figure of Andrew
johnson was one of those gathered about the
couch, and this was as it should be, for he
was really there with the members of the
cabinet and others Before the picture was
quite finished, however, the feeling in the
north had grown so bitter against johnson
that the artist feared lest the popularity of
the picture would be injured by the appear
ance in it of the then chief executive He
therefore erased President johnson and in
serted Schuyler Colfax in his stead, although
Colfax was not really present at the death of
Lincoln

Death of Charles XII.

Charles XII of Sweden was killed at the
seige of Frederickshall, Dec. IL, l718 1t is
not certainly known how he was killed, or by
whom He was found during the seige lean
ing against a parapet, as if examining the
works, his hand on his sword and prayer
book in his pocket. 1t is said that he was
killed by a cannon shot, but it is now gener-
ally supposed that he was killed by pistol
shot from the hands of traitorous soldier.
The life of Charles XII is more curious than
that of any other sovereign.

Hito, Haru no Miya celebrated his ninth
birthday on Aug. 81, 1888, and if he lives
will succeed his father on the throne Prin-
cess Hisa is 8 years old, but although en-

Haru TO the cousins Of the emperor.
