Soaring the Conscience.

Of all her curious customs London
cannot boast of a more singular one than
that formerly so strictly adhered to at
Holland house, one of the most historic
old mansions in the British capital. The
last of the Lords Holland shot himself
during fit of dependency; everything
pointed to clear case of self murder,
yet the Holland family could never be
dissuaded from the notion that the old
man had been murdered by some un-
known assassin. Accordingly, every
night for years it was the custom for one
of the family to go to the rear of the
house punctually at IL o'clock and fire a
gun, for the purpose, it is said, of "scar-
ing the conscience of the murderer.
This curious practice is a relic of medi-
eval days in continental Europe, and
the case to point is probably the only
instance where it has been noticed since
the days Of the Crusades.-St. Louis Re

Appetite a Good Doctor.

When the health is fairly good, and
there is no special strain to be put upon
the system. the normal appetite may be
trusted to indicate the kind and quantity
of food necessary to maintain that con-
dition. Naturally the appetite varies
with the changing seasons, and unless it
indicates an unreasonable extreme of in
diligence or abstinence no attention
need be paid to any other monitor.
Much harm is done by injudicious or
meddlesome friends suggesting that a
person is too stout or too thin, too pale
or too ruddy, and serious disturbances
of the system often follow the mischiev-
GUS advice to take some bitters or pills,
or refrain from fattening food or drink.
Paving attention to any of these fads is
like playing with fire. If you are i'll
enough to seem to warrant any radical
change of diet or any application of
medicine, consult your physician at once.
Above all, avoid quack medicines. To
use the opinion of successful dealer in
them, whose bank balance is more liberal
than his conscience, they are made to
sell. ."-Harper's Bazar

The bible Of the Buadhists.

The bible of the sect is not without
beauty and high moral as well as poetac
conceptions. There is much IN it of the
nature of mythology and mysticism,
which Buddhists do not pretend to I'M
derstand themselves, yet there is much
to admire. From booknof extracts and
translations from the Buddhist bible ]
give few examples:
''The perfect man is Ike the Lily, I'M
soiled by the mud in which it grows. -
Another: "The perfect man will not be
angry with him who brings him evil re-
ports of himself, lest he be not able to
judge truthfully of the matterYwhereof
he is accused" Its, moral code contains
such rules as fDo not steal" ''Do not
he;" DO not kill" '''Do not be drunk
ard" ''Do not to. another what you
would not wish done to- yourself :"
From theseexamples it maybe observed
how nearly their moral lswfruns parallel
with our own; i and that this has exerted
potent influence in forming the Chi
nese character is evidsnt. Also, that
they cover the cardinal rules of right
living in good society none VIII question.
The esystem offers motives IN the way
of rewards for right living and punish
ments'of evil doing. It develops symp-
athy, the source of many virtues. II
teaches the equality of all men. One
man is better or worse than another
onlyfas he observes the laws of good So
ciety or breaks them.-W. G. Benton in
Popular Science.

Great Men As Boys.

Every one knows how, when Sir Wal
ter Scott was boy, the future novelist
was lost during a thunderstorm, and
found by the alarmed searchers lying on
his back on the hillside looking st the
lightning, clapping his hands at each
flash and eIclaiming, Bonnie! bonnier'
But a story of the same kind, with
Schiller, the German poet, as the hero,
is not so well known One day, while a
very small boy, severe thunderstorm
came on: the boy was missed and could
nowhere be found. The whole house
hold searched for him, but it was not
until the storm was past that he was
seen descending from the top of high
lime tree near the house. To the in
quiries of his father as to his motives he
replied:
81 only wished to see where all the
fire came from New York Ledger.

Men Cooks Always on Time.

"One of the things to which did not

attached a chef to her establishment. ''is
his forehandedness. Soon after his ar

going down stairs late in the afternoon

see at once that my presence was deemed
an impertinence, but | forgot to resent
this in my horror at the condition of af'

as l could see. however, it might have
been sent to the table at that moment.

Then. as if he were willing to tolerate
this one interference: Madame need

at the instant.

fairly sick with anxiety over what

dinner, however, was perfection, every

HOW THE APOSTLES DIED.

Many readers, perhaps large majority
of them, old as well as young, will find
new information in the following para
graph, taken from the Evangelist:
st. Mathew is supposed to have suffered
martyrdom or was slain with the sword
at the city of Ethiopia, in Egypt. st.
Luke was hanged upon an olive tree, in
Greece. st. John was put into caldron
of boiling oil at Rome, and escaped
death at Ephesus, in Asia. st. James
the Great was beheaded at Jerusalem.
st. James the Less was thrown from a
pinnacle or wing of the temple and
then beaten to death with fuller's club.
st. Philip was hanged up against a
pillar at Hierapolis, city of Phyrgia.
st. Bartholomew was f1ayed alive by the
command of barbarous king. St.
Andrew was bound to a cross, whence
he preached unto the people until he
expired. st. Thomas was run through
the body with lance at Coromandel, in
the East Indies. st. John was shot to
death with arrows. st. Simon Zealot
was crucifed in Persia. st. Matthias
was first stoned and then beheaded. st.

Disposing of an Office Seeker.

"The art of putting the right men in
the right places" Talleyrand once said,
sis first in the science of government;
but that of finding places for the discon-
tented is the most difficult"
1t would seem from this that the dis
tinguished French statesman was as
much prey to Office seekers as are the
public men of our own time. His man
ner of disposing of them is amusingly
illustrated in the following anecdote:
One day one of these troublesome per
sons presented himself to M. de Talley-
rand and reminded him that he had been
promised place.
every WE'LL" said Talleyrand, 'but
tell something that suits and which can
be given. You don't know of anything?
Well, find something. You must admit
that l haven't the time to search for you. :"
The applicant was thus disposed of for
the time being, but day or two later he
again presented himself, his face radiant
with hope, and said:
''Sir, such and such place is vacant. :"
'Vacant," replied Talleyrand. "Well,
what do you wish me to do? You ought
to know that when place is vacant it
has already been promised. Boston

A Fathers Kiss

A father was seeing his son off ON the
cars for some distant point. There was
a moment of quiet conversation between
the two, perhaps few words of such ad-
vice as father should give son, and
then the train came laundering into the
station.
As the latter. tall fellow, well along
in his teens" stepped on the platform.
he extended his hand and his lips to his
father. There was gentle kiss of fare
well, and the two separated. There was
no gush, no nonsense, no affectation; just
theexpression of fatherly tenderness that
had followed that son since he lay in the
cradle.
Is there any danger of that boy stray
ing from the path affectionstely pointed
out by his father?
Or is there any danger of that father
ever having to excuse that son because
he is sowing wild oatsg' We think not

been sung by poets, but is there not also
wealth of tenderness and lasting
memory for good in the kiss of father?
