Michael Angeles Studies in Anatomy.
Before his return to the palace Mich.
ael Angelo had begun "a series of care
full studies in anatomy to familiarize
himself with every line and dimension
of the figure. He toiled at the study
for years, until his mastery of the hui
man form was complete. He never
painted or chiseled a figure without
working out in a drawing the most del
icate details of the anatomy, so that
no turn of vein or muscle might be
false to the absolute truth. 1t is by
such means that any mastery is Sc
cured. Behind every work of genius,
whether book, picture or engine, is an
amount of labor and pains-yes, and
of pain-that would have frightened
off a weak spirit.-St. Nicholas.

Result OF Laziness.

1t was rather painful thing for me to
meet the other day my old acquaintance
Jack -, who appeared here in Boston,
after knocking about in that indefinite
region known as the West for some
years. Jack , now a thin, shabby
man with sort of half piteous, half
staggering, @lend -five-dollars" ex-
preston, was once dandifed, Jolly
young fellow, who is now reduced-as
the reader will have perceived TO
pointing the moral of a paragraph.
Jacks fate is worth noting, because it
is simply and solely the result of doing
nothing an awful warning, in fact, as
to the danger of being lazy. He never
had any very serious vices, neither
drank nor gambled; but through life he
has been unable to screw himself rp to
the point of doing an honest days work.
and hence, being born without wealth,
he has existed in an atmosphere of debt
and privation. Let us all take warning
from poor Jacks fatal Incidence

scotty's Bridge Statistics.

Scotty, the bridge policeman, has q
notebook full of interesting statistics.
from which he yesterday permitted me
to select the following:
Seventy men out of every hundred
who cross the bridge on foot carry one
shoulder lower than the other.
Eleven men in every hundred have
red hair and whiskers.
About seventy out of every hundred
have Homan noses, and at least one
half OF these are more or less tinged
with the luxurious color of the Long
Island strawberry.
About sixty-five in every hundred
men walk because they feel like it.,
and yet they are mad because they
weren't fools enough to ride.
Only thirteen men in hundred car
ry canes, and only four ont of the thir-
teen carry them gracefully. The 9TH
ers carry them as if they were clothes
line props borrowed from neighbours
back yard.
About ninety men out Of every hun
dred look to the left or down the bay in
crossing from Brooklyn.
Eighty-fve men out of every hun
dred either toe in or toe out, and could
neither learn to waltz gracefully, nor
yet achieve success as sprinters.
At least 70 per cent. of the male pc
destrians interfere" or rub one ankle
against the other. In the case of a
horse this would be considered an evil,
and steps would at once be taken to eff
feet cure.
Everything being normal, only about
6 per cent. of the men exhibit any signs
of haste. If a good-looking type writer
in new spring hat happens to be cross
ing, and is in hurry, "a per cent. of
the men keep as close to her heels as
possible.
About "a per cent. stub their toes or
meet with slip at the pier steps, and

expressions INDUCED in on such occa-
sions are:

Scotty picks up an average of five
handkerchiefs each morning, which are

GOOD SOFA.

A physician, whose life had been made
beautiful with good deeds and high
faith, said once
~ ! have been happy or useful in the
world, it is due largely to the effect on
my mind Of chance question from a
stranger.
Il Wa poor boy and cripple. One
day, standing on ball-fieid, was
watching the other boys with bitterness
and envy They were strong, healthy,
well-clothed and well-fed. Some Of
the mothers of the players sat in car
riages, waiting to see the game, intend
ing to drive their sons home when it
was over. looked at them with an
angry scowl, sick at heart A young
man standing beside me, and seeing, no
doubt, the discontenti in my face, touched
my arm.
" Say, bubl You wish you were in
the place of those boys, ell? 2 he said.
Yes, do!' l broke out. WHY
should they have everything, and
nothingy
"He nodded gravely. 4 reckon God
gave them money and education and
health to help them to be OF some ac-
count in the world Did it never stike
you that He gave you your lame leg for
the same reason--to make man of
you?'
II did not answer. and he turned
away. I never saw him again. But
couldn't get his words out of my mind.
My crippled leg-God's gift? To teach
me patience and strength?
Il did not believe it. But | was a
thoughtful boy, taught to reverence
God, and the more / thought of it the
more it seemed to me the stranger had
told the truth. did believe that God
pitied meand at last came to feel that
it would please Him if rose above nv
deformity, and by it was made more
manly and true. 1t worked on my
temper, my thoughts, and at last upon
my actions. Gradually it influenced
my whole life. Whatever came to me,
looked upon as Gods gift for some
especial purpose. If it were difficulty
He gave it for me to struggle with, to
strengthen my mind and faith; if it were
helpless invalid cast on me for sup
port, or even beggar, l thought,
God has given me another chance to do
His work.
THE idea has sweetened and helped
all Of my life. wish l could find the
man who gave me this password which
has lifted my life to higher plane. and
has led me constantly to the Source of
all good. - YOath's Companion.

A man who had every appearance Of
being well led and in good health saun-
tered into fashionable uptown cafe
few mornings ago, and, after deliber-
ately divesting himself OF hat, coat, and
gloves, seated himself in cozy corner
and began to read . newspaper. A
polite waiter put napkin and q glass
of water on the table and waited for an
order. He must have known his custo-
mer, for he waited patiently for nearly
ten minutes. Then the deliberate man
ordered cup Of hot water. Have it
boiling hot, said he. The water was
soon brought and the gentleman slipped
it as rapidly as possible. When the CUP
was empty he said Bring me another
one and some celery. The second cup
Of hot water was slipped more leisursly,
and the eating Of the celery occupied
about half an hours time, the guest
reading his paper meanwhile. Whom
the check was brought it read; Two
cups hot water, 30 cents one portion

stoi, as is well known, gave up his lit
cray work to a great extent, and busted
himself chiefly with manual labor and
the spread of the gospel Of brotherly
love-"
Some time ago, when driving in the
streets of Moscow, he saw q policeman
arrest peasant because of some slight
ofense against the police regulations,
and lead him along the street. Order
ing his goodman to halt, the Count
rushed up to the policeman and asked
him if he could read.
Certainly"
Have you read the Bible
The answer was again in the affirma-
tive.
aThen," continued the Count to the
surprised officer, do not forget that we
are commanded to love our neighbors as
ourselves"
The policeman looked at him In as
constituent for moment-then began
an inquisition Of his own.
Can you read9' he asked.
"Yes."
Have you read the police reguia-
tions ?"
The Count was obliged to reply in the
negative.

proceeded upon his way with his victim,
