An exchange prints story of a
young lady who went to Colorado for
her health, and while sojourning at
Manitou fell into conversation with a
gentleman on the hotel piazza.
The gentleman remarked, upon ths
grandeur of Pixies Peak, which tow.
cred majestically before them. The
young lady expressed her appreciation
of the wonderful spectacle.
Il suppose" said the gentleman,
after the conversation had proceeded q
little way, that the mountain has a
peculiar interest to me from the fact
that my own name is Pike"
Naturally it would" answered the
lady, promptly; @and I may add that
my own enthusiasm is probably in.
creased by the fact that my name is
Peak"
The coincidence was extraordinary.
and the story has strong marks Of
truth. If it had been made up. the
inventor would almost certainly have
gone on to say that the acquaintance
thus happily begun soon ripened into
friendship; that this in turn gave place
to sentiments of tenderer nature,
and that the young woman soon be.
came, like the mountain itself, Pixies

"l,a. to Do with tho Hands.

1t is great problem with certain
class of peol lie 10 know what they shall
do with their hands They are unwill-
ing to work at anything worthy tho
name Of work, tired of ordinary amuse-
ments. and really worried to find sonno
way of passing the time. A leading
fashion paper contains the following
advice on The use Of the hands, which
illustrates what some people do with
theirs:
MY dear fellow" said society
woman of great candor to an awkward,
timid Young Harvard graduate whom
she was to present, you have any
amount Of talent, you have position,
you have money, but you never will DO
at your ease, never show at your best,
until you know what to do with your
hands and feet. You must lose them,
forget them, be unconscious OF them"
We hope that none of the Farm,
Field and Stochmd11 boys and girls
will ever have to forget that they have
hands. We believe that these hands
OF Ours were Given us for some better
use than to sit with them gracefully
folded III our laps or hanging in sun
conscious" idleness at our sides. God
meant them for work, and gave us all
our duties to perform. Every boy OF
girl who fails to do his duty is shirk
and deserves nothing but disdain. It
is not only ur$elves that we are to
look out for in this world, but others
who need care and help, and if we
haven't all our hands can do working
for ourselves, the part of every noble
boy or girl is to "lend hand" to some
one else. A button sewed on brothers
coat, a half-honr's spading in sisters
flower bed, al armful of wood brought
for tired mother, an afternoon given up
to taking care of baby, these are ways
Of using the hands which are open to
all boys aud girls every day. and it is
| by doing these things that they amount
to something in this world. Hand"
some is as "hand" some does is prov.
erb that recognizes better use for the
hands than merely to look we'll.
Handsome really means handy OF
useful, and only came to mean beauti-
full because people understood that
nothing could be really beautiful that
did not have some useful occupation.
] Our hands are wonderful instruments
and capable of almost any work to
which we may put them, from the
mighty fist Of the blacksmith, which
he could use if necessary for ham
mer, to the dainty trained hand of the
matchmaker, accurate end sensitive to
| the finest degree. So never be ashamed
to use your hands.-Farnl, Field and
St0cknaa7l.
