The story is told of certain New Yorker,
whose splendid country seat has not al
ways housed himself and family and
whose plethoric bank account is of com
paratively recent date.
There was, not so very long ago, as a
guest at this house. "A man whose usual
courtesy was greatly taxed by the ostenta-
ton of his host. Did he admire the view
Of a distant river he was told what it cost
to cut the vista through; when the stables
were visited an estimate was given of the
expense of building and stocking them; a
fine painting was commented upon only to
have its value in dollars and cents pro-
claimed, and so on in the most trying
manner.
At length dinner was announced, and
beyond giving the amount of the wages he
paid his French cook the host was fairly
quiet. At dessert, however, whose fruit
included some dollhouse peaches, he pressed
a second upon his guest, who took it with
the remark that such luscious peaches at
this season were tempting delicacy.
Yes" said the host, "they are, and an
expensive delicacy too. | estimate that
these peaches cost me about thirty-five
cents piece right here in my own hot
house"
Whereupon the guest, taxed beyond his
endurance, reached over and took third
peach from the dish, produced dollar bill
from his vest pocket and saying calmly:
81 suppose you are willing to say three
for a dollar" laid it down and left the
table.-lIer Point of View in New York

Success at College and Arl,rward.

While excellence in the military academy
is a desirable thing to aim at, it is well to
bear in mind that the ratings of that in
stitution are not always maintained in
actual experience. Indeed, its appraise-
ments are frequently reversed in the after
life Of its pupils. Lee it is true, was the
second in his class at graduation, but Joe
Johnston, who was at least as able com
mander, was thirteenth, and Longstreet
was fifty-fourth, while on the Union side
w. b. Franklin and .. A. Gilmore were
first In their respective classes and Nc
Clellan second, yet Thomas was only
twelfth, Grant twenty first and Sheridan
thirty-fourth.
As rule, the men who carried Off the
honors in West Point failed to hold their
place when brought to the actual test Of
practical work, while those who were well
down In the list forged to the front. The
truth IL that West Point, as il the case
with technical schools Of other sorts, can
not permanently FIX the standing Of It's
graduates,-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

THE TWO GREAT MYsTeajEs.

We know not what Il Is, dear,
This sleep SO deep and still
The folded hands, the awful calm,
The cheeks so pale and chill,
The lids that will not lift again,
Though we may call and call;
The strange white solitude of peace
That settles over all.
We know not what IL means, dear,
This desolate heart pain,
Inc dread to take our daily way
And walk in it again.
We know not to what sphere
The loved who leave us go;
Nor why we're left to wander still,
Nor why we do not know.
But this we know-our loved and lost,
If they should come this day,
Should come and ask US What is life?'
Not one of us could say.
Life is a mystery as deep
AS death can ever be;
Yet, oh, how sweet 1t is to us,
This life we live and see
Then might they say, those vanished
ones,
And blessed is the thought
30 death Is sweet to us, beloved,
Though we may tell you naught,
We may not tell it to the quick,
This mystery of death;
Ye may not tell it If ye would,
The mystery of breath.
The child that enters life comes not
With knowledge or intent;
30, those who enter death must go
As little children sent.
Nothing is known, but | believe
That God is overhead;
And as life is to the living,
So death is to the dead.

met with women who would like to be-
taken down by novel and married to q

hitherto been known to seek marriage

however exist. il the following advertise

Miss Ellen Terry, in "Stray Memories, 4"
gives description of that singular sensa-
ton, stage fright. you are standing there
apparently quite well and in your right
mind, when you suddenly feel as if your
tongue had become dislocated and was ly-
ing powerless in your mouth. Cold shivers
begin to creep downward from the nape of
your neck and all up you at the same time,
until they seem to meet in the small of
your back. About this time you feel as IL
a centipede, all of whose feet had been care
fully iced, had begun to run about in the
roots of your hair. Your next agreeable
sensation is the breaking out of a cold per
spiration all over you. Then you feel as
though somebody had cut the muscles at
the back of your knees; your mouth begins
slowly to open without giving utterance to
single sound, and your eyes seem in.
clined to jump out Of your head over the
footlights.
"At this period it is as well to get off the
stage as quickly as possible you are far
beyond the hope of any human help" One
such occasion she can recall when she was
playing at the Royalty small part in a
piece called 1.-THE Governors Wife" Il
had" she continues, "just sense and
strength enough to drag myself off the
stage and seize a book, with which, after a
few minutes, reappeared and ignomin-
iously read my part"

CHARLOTTE BRoNTe's IMPRESSIONS.
What She Wrote and Thought About the

What She Wrote and Thought About the
Famous Author of vanity Fair"
There Is a man in our own days whose
words are not framed to tickle delicate
ears; who, to my thinking, comes before
the great ones of society much as the son
of Imlah came before the throned kings of
Judah and Israel, and who speaks truth
as deep with power as prophetlike and as
VITAL a mien as dauntless and as daring.
Is the satirist Of Vanity Fair admired in
high placesi l cannot tell but | think If
some Of those among whom he hurls the
Greek fire of his sarcasm, and over whom
he flashes the levin brand of his denuncia-
ton were to take his warnings in time,
they or their seed might escape a fatal Ra-
moth Gilead"
So wrote Charlotte Bronte of Thackeray
in her preface to the second edition of
Jane Eyre" Everybody who pretends to
know anything about the history of liter
allure knows how this preface to popular
novel helped, to a certain extent, the au-
thor of vanity Fair"
There are few besides students, however,
who know that there was "A time when it
was seriously alleged that the authoress of
Jane Eyre" had been governess to Thack-
eray's children-that, indeed, he was the
Rochester of Jane Eyre" and herself the
Becky Sharp of VANITY Fair"
Today of course we know differently,
says an English writer. We know that
Thackeray and Charlotte Bronte did not
meet until long after the publication of
Jane Eyre" and that Miss Bronte was, on
the whole, disappointed with her hero
Mr. Thackeray," she says in letter to a
friend, "is man of very quiet, simple de-
meanor; he is, however, looked upon with
some awe and even distrust. His CONVEX
sation is very pecuiar-too perverse to be
pleasant" She expected to meet prophet
like Carlyle; she really encountered per
son who seemed to her to be mere pro
fessional man of letters

Relics OF Sir John FrankIin's Expedition.
An interesting feature at the English
Royal Naval exhibition is the collection of
relics of the Franklin Arctic expedition.
The two ships of this expedition, the Ere
bus and Terror, started on May Is, 1916,
and were spoken by the Prince of Wales,
whaler, of Aberdeen, at the head of Baffln's
bay, shortly after that date, and from that
time all tidings of them were lost. The
history of the search expedition which
went out to find, and if possible to rescue.
the survivors of the Franklin expedition is
a most interesting one.
In 1859 Captain Leopold McClntock
went out in the yacht Fox, fitted out by
Lady Franklin. and found traces Of the
lost ships in abundance, and innumerable
of these relics are now to be seen at the
Royal Naval exhibition. They consist

very extensive, are undulating and well
