The other night five or six young men
of the listless, self sufficient variety SO
familiar just now dined together in a
private room at a fashionable restaurant.
After cigars had been lighted one of them
drawled:
"l'll bet, fellows, that can throw this
knife and 1t will stick in the crack of
that door every time"
He rose from the table and pointed
out the narrow crack between the door
and the jamb, and showed how he pro
posed to place the knife The five others
approached the place and cried out: 1--WE
take that bet. For how much?"

each of you will pay me the same sum. So
The young man took his position, and,
with rapldity and accuracy that words
cannot describe, executed ten times in
succession this remarkable feat.
When he had finished every one hur-
rahed with delight Each one of his
wagers being paid he pocketed roll of
bills with just pride
but how did YOU ever learn to do
this: asked one Of the company.
Then he revealed the secret. For two
or three years having nothing pressing

had given himself up to patient practice
at this work, Each morning he locked
himself in his room. and, far from Dry.

Vulnerable experiments to measure the
distance required, the force necessary
and the curve, but his perseverance was
invincible At first he threw the knife

a Boarding House Secret.

A certain lady who keeps rather
fashionable boarding house in this city
is troubled with ten boarders-no less
than ten-who possess enormous appe
tites. Everybody that knows a board
ing house can realize that ten boarders
with large appetites are very hard upon
the profit OF the concern. She tried, like
a thorough business woman, all sorts Of
methods to check these ungodly appetites,
but to no avail.
One day she happened to tell her family
doctor of these ten hungry men and how
they worried her, and he said immedi
ately:
why, l can give you an easy remedy
for that"
She told him that she would be very
much obliged to him for any help that
he could give her on the subject, and
moreover said that it would be worth q
great deal Of money to her.
well, said he, next week bake a
lot of lemon pies and see that those ten
boarders get their share of pie.
lis that all your prescription, DOCTOR
said the lady
Eyes ma'am," he replied. land you
will find it is quite enough"
So the next week she baked number
of lemon pies, and she saw to it that the
ten boarders We're helped twice to pie on
the first day. After that she noticed grad
ually that their appetites fell away, and
at the end Of that week there was an
unmistakable diminuton in the bin foI
provisions required for that boarding
house
The lemon pie diet was continued un
til the boarding house became as profta
BILE as it had previously been Improbable,
1t is not within my power to say exactly
how the lemon pie acts on the average
boarder, but it is certainly fact that in
this case the lemon pies produced what
no other system of dieting could accom-
plish. This recipe may be of use to some
OF the down trodden boarding house mis-.
tresses. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

Evidence Against Himself.

Among the many things the saw mill

some native who claims that we are cut

1t is great mistake to suppose that
the best work of the world is done by
people of great strength and great oppor-
tunities. 1t is unquestionably an advan-
tage to have both these things, but
neither of them is necessity to the man
who has the spirit and the pluck to
achieve great results. Some of the
greatest work of our time has been done
by men of physical feebleness. Noman
hns left IA more distinct impression Of
himself on this generation than Charles
Darwin, and there have been few men
who hare had to struggle against such
prostrating i'll health.
Darwin was rarely able to work long
at II time. He accomplished his great
work by having single aim, and putting
every ounce Of bis force and every hour
of his time into the task which he had
set before him. He never scattered his
energy, he never wasted an hour. and
by steadily keeping at il, in spite of con-
tinual i'll health aud of long intervals of
semi-invalidism, lac did a great work
and has left the impression upon the
world of a man of extraordinary energy
and working capacity. Success is rarely
a matter of accident, always matter of
character. The reason why SO many
men fail is that SO few are willing to pay
the price Of self denial and hard work
which success exacts. Christian Union.
