Suffering as a Discipline.


Suffering is the most perfect disci
pline of character. We all shrink from
it, as we shun the scourge or plague,
but it is only through affection that we
can ever hope to attain to stability and
true symmetry of manhood and woman
hood. Disappointment and sorrow de-
velop certain traits within us which, il
they remained dormant, would leave
our lives imperfect and incomplete. We
can acquire fortitude only by sur
mounting fears, and endurance we can
gain only by suffering unmitigated
pain. Sorrows educate mind and
heart; they elevate, they purify the
baser passions.
We receive our best instructions in
conflicts with the world; not in those
trays in which we are victorious. but
in the encounters that often witness
our defeat. We need the stern and
rigid discipline of outside trouble, of
inward struggle, that calls out the best
that is in us. Human nature is weak
enough as it is, but were it not for the
trials and temptations which it must
meet and resist we would soon degen-
crate into a race of characterless be-
ings. We cannot suffer too much in
order to be strong Adversely is a
teacher whom none should despise.-

R,stic Practitioners.

The Rev. Augustus Jessop, in bis
'.Trials of a Country Parson, tells some
amusing stories concerning his rustic En-
glish parishioners. The mistakes which
hearers make in interpreting sermons,
he says, are simply endless, and some
times almost incredible. No invention
of the most inveterate story teller could
equal the facts which are matters of
weekly experience.

Browning Would No. Sell Poetry.

Browning is believed to have made
f2, 600 q year, but this he achieved only
after many years of ceaseless produc.
ton. His antipathy to writing for the
magazines is well known, and no doubt
helped greatly to limit his income. On
one occasion an English magazine of.
fered him large sum for the privilege
of publishing one of his poems. This
he refused. The offer was then in
creased, but he still refused. Finally
a blank check was sent to him with
the request that he would fill it up to
his own satisfaction, but even this
failed to secure the poem.-London

An Arabic anecdote, illustrative O.

ables it to glide into the heart of g
saint, is told of the holy Mohammedan
Sakati.
He said that for twenty years he had
never ceased imploring divine pardon
for having once exclaimed, praise bt
to God" On being asked the reason
for such persistent praying he an
swered:
"a fire broke out in Baghdad, and o
person came to me and told me thai
my shop had escaped, on which I ut
tered those words, and even to this
moment repent of having said so, be
cause it showed that 1 wished better tc

Wash Your New Socks.

A pair of new socks, fresh from the
store, feels very comfortable to the
feet, but the man who wears them be
fore they are washed makes mistake.
Hosiery should always be washed be-
fore being worn, as the washing shrinks
the threads and makes the socks wear
as long again, besides preventing the
feet from being injured by the color
ing. When put on before washing
they stretch out of shape, and can
never be restored to the original form.

A Cure for Ague.

No disease has given rise to more
numerous and curious catalogue OF
charms than the ague. A common
practice was to run nine times through
a circle formed by brier that grew in
that direction. This was no doubt a
Druidical ceremony, nine being the
mystic number of high antiquity. A
spider given, unknown, to the patent
was favorite remedy with some per

Pennies in the Post Box.

1.-THE postoffice department makes a
small sum of money out of the people
of this city every year in way that is
rather out of the ordinary" s,.id Mr.. L..
M. Bergman, assistant superintendent
of the city delivery division at the post
Office 1.-THE collectors in their rounds,
you know, frequently find in the letter
boxes pennies, two or more.
"Where do they come from? Why,
people put them there of course. Very
often a person wants to mail letter
and has not a stamp ready, so what
more simple, thinks he, than to drop
the letter along with couple of pen
MES into the nearest box, taking it for
granted that the good natured postoffice
officials will buy him a stamp and save
him the trouble of sticking it on.
"Again, a person may mail letter
and remember afterward that he failed
to stamp it, and, feeling a little doubt
full about it, he goes back and drops a
couple of coppers into the slot, think
ing that it will be all right. So it
would if there were only twice as many
pennies collected as there are letters.
But this is not the case. Lots of peo-
pie forget to stamp their letters and
then fail to drop two pennies into the
box afterward, and it is impossible for
us to tell to which letters the pennies
belong. All the letters and money are
brought to this Office, and the pennies
are carefully preserved and eventually
transmitted to the department. In this
way have collected and turned in $6
within six months. "-Washington Star
