TO KEEP FROM sCowLsNG.

A great many earnest thinkers of ner-
vous temperament fall into the habit Of
scowling when they read, write or talk
seriously. This causes two little perpen-
dicular lines to plough in between the eyes.
1t is habit almost impossible TO correct,
once formed, as it is done unconsciously
by great many young people. Even in
sleep their brows will be drawn together
in this malicious little frown that is the
alder and abettor of age.
A bright, studious young woman still in
her early twenties found herself the victim
of this seoal which had already made two
fine hairlines in her white brow. She set
herself to work to cure the habit by set
ting her mirror before her face when she
read, wrote or studied; but as this distract
ed her attention from her work she finally
placed ribbon band tightly across her
brow. tying it in knot at the back of her
head. and at night she slept in the band.
After several months the little hairlines
disappeared from her forehead, and she is
quite cured Of tue disfguring habit.
A smooth, white, uncorrugated brow ~
one of the greatest attractions in \ woman s
face, while a prematurely furrowed and
wrinkled brow mars the beauty and youth
of the fairest features.

TRIPLES.

One New Years day miner tarew
down his pick in despair, because wages
were low aud his family ill., and went
Home.
The car-boy ran his vehicle to the aban-
doned working, saw no one there, and
amused himself shying pieces of slate
around until the mine boss arrived and or
dered him to the next workman.
One of the pieces of slate fell into the ore
cart. 1t mingled with the mass there. 1t
was foreign substance, and at the smell
ters got reduced to a mere grain, but it
caused minute flaw in bar of metal.
Through various manipulations the met
al reached pin factory and became re-
duced to pins. The tiny flaw lay just
across the centre Of the pm.
With Others it was papered and sent to
Paris. A woman bought the paper of pins.
She happened to draw out the pin with the
flaw. 1t was weak and bent in two as she
ran it through her shawl.
The bent pin was east out ofthe window.
Next day her boy found it, straighteued it
out, and put it in his coat.
A week later, seated by the side of a rail-
road track he discovered it, drew it out,
and placed it with another pia across the
rail, to form a pair of miniature scissors.
The engineer OF the advancing train saw
the bent form, supposed it was some per-
son unconscious of the approach of the
train, and whstled down brakes.
Tie train came to stop SO Sudden as to
break coupling. 1t took an hour to fix
it. The train reached its destination half
an hour late.
Aboard was French officer with impor-
tant dispatches for the seat of war, that
might have directed manmuvres disastrous
to the Germans.
He lost his connection by the delay. He
started for the distant camp ON horseback.
Instead of arriving at noon he reached
the camp at nightfaIl.
Meantime the battle had been fought. A
delayed train, a crooked pin, flaw in a
bar of metil, piece of slate, discouraged
miner, cost France its history as great
nation.

as these the destinies of countries hingel

IT'S BETTER TO LIVE.

have sometimes felt that the burden
ofIfe was too heavy to bear;
And have longed to lie down at the noon
tide
And rest and forget all my care;
But over my heart comes a message.
Repeated again and again
'1t is better to liy and to suffer,
Than to die to be rid of the pain.''
There is rest in the darkness of dying.
And end to the weary despair;
The grave holds sure peace and calm 81
lence;
No sorrow nor pain can be there;
But perhaps in the struggle of living,
Is soul that has need of my care
Some heart may be bearing burden
That my hand may tighten or share.
'Twould be easy TO say al am weary"
And He down and give up the strife,
To suffer no more with the heartaehe
And sorrow meet in this life;
But perhaps from my sorrowswept heart
strings
A melody sweet may be wrung,
And my lips when they drank deep of suffer
ing,
The tenderest songs may have sung.
'Tis so hard to be patient with living,
When all the world is awry;
so wearisome waiting for pleasures
That will only come after we die;
But even through all my complaining
can hear that undying refrain
''It is better to live and to suffer-
Than 10 die to be rid of the pain.''
will live and be strong and will suffer,
If need be, until | find rest,
When Life and Its trials are over;
Though never my life should be best
Though always the sun should be darkened
BY the clouds that hang over my way,

When at last awake "in the day"
