The Spanish population was the cher

last. when he could endure the delay no

"You don't savoy, do your? exclaimed
the Judge sharply. "Weu, do you un-

some interesting experiments with ami
mails which have been nearly killed by
electric shocks.
On Wednesday he was standing on
the street and saw sparrow in a small
pool of water left by the street sprinkler.
The bird soon went up and flew to wire
overhead. The shock at once sent him

dentist picked him up, barely able to
move his wings. The gentleman breathed

How to Make Life Happy.

Since we can not get what we like, let

Try to regard present vexation rs you

II is not riches, it is not poverty, it is
human nature which is the trouble.
The world is like u looking-glass
Laugh at it, and it laughs back: frown
at it, ant it frowns back.
The chief secret of comfort lies in not
suffering trifles to vex us, and in
cultivating our underground of small
pleasures.
Angry thoughts canker the mind,
and dispose it to the worst temper in
in the world-that of fixed malice and
revenge. 1t is while in this temper
that most men become criminals.
Take time; it is no use to fume or fret,
or do as the angry houeskeeper who

Second Anniversary.

The Y. Z. S. of G. T.. will have charge
OF the services at the Presbyterian
church next Sunday night, II being the
second anniversary of their organiza-
tion. Antiphonal music will be feature
OF the program. This is species in
which the choir or congregation being
divided into two parts sing alternately.
The peculiar structure of the Hebrew
Psalms renders it probably that the
antiphonal method originated in the
service of the ancient Jewish Church.
1t is impossible to subject the venerable
melodies to minute examination with
out observing that without exception
there are two distinct strains exactly
alternating with each other, pointing
assuredly to the intention of singing
them in contrasted phrases. There is
evidence that the composition of an
tiphomal music was coeval with that of
the Hebrew poetry. According to the
historian Socrates, music adapted to
the parallelisms of Hebrew poetry.
owes its introduction into Christian
worship to Ignatius who died i'm ll5 A..
d. and who in vision had seen the
angels singing in alternate choirs. A
glance at the song of the angels at
the birth of Jesus reveals plainly that
1t was uttered responsively.

With many girls reading is largely a
matter of opportunity: some lack the
means of procuring many books, or
more frequently still, the time necessary
for the mastery or enjoyment of the
helpful volume, or, saddest of all, the
taste or appreciation Of what is beautiful
and ennobling in literature is lacking,
writes Amelia Lanigan in a pertinent
article on "A Girls Best Reading" in
the November Ladies' Home Journal.
This is the heaviest bolt on the gate of
knowledge, for no amount of recommen-
dation can give one enjoyment of a
book, and in mental, as in physical,
food we are profited only by what we
assimilate. But it is just for those who
feel both longing and limitation that
this article is written; simply to act
as a finger-post, indicating in what
direction true mental culture may be
reached. Bear in mind that there are
passing books and lasting books. books
of the day and books for all time. Help
and pleasure are to be found in both,
but the manner OF reading them will
differ. The one kind furnishes COM
paratively easy reading, because more
on the level of our knowledge and
experiences: but the latest book, or
most excellent magazine, should not
occupy the time to the exclusion of the
older authors who, according to Ruskin,
often give you their thought more by
way of reward than Of help, just as
nature does not spread her gold upon
the surface, but let us search and dig,
or crush the rock to get the precious
ore. Do some reading that requires
some thought and labor.

1t is not unusual to meet people who
are always bemoaning the past. There
are many such who spend more energy
in thinking what they ought to have
done, and chiding themselves for not
having done it, than in thinking what
they ought to do, and planning how to
do it. Life is really too short for this
sort of thing; there is too much to be
achieved in the present and in the
future to justify continuous dwelling on
unimproved opportunities in the past
1t is always in order and in time TO turn
over new leaf to begin again, to make
stepping-stones of the sins and errors
and mistakes of the past, remembering
them only so much and so long as to
learn how to avoid and overcome them
in the future. ''O,if could live my life
over again." says one, show differently
l would act" But you cannot live it
over again. The only thing you can do
is to live to-day as well as you can, TO
straighten your lines of action, and see
that they all point upward, away from
the wrong, toward the right. Time
spent in mere idle regret is worse than
wasted. The atmosphere OF regret is
debilitating, enervating, asphyxiating.
1t should be avoided by us as we
avoid malarial atmospheres and those
saturated with infection. A great
purpose will lift one out of regrets, and
failing great purpose many smaller
ones will accomplish the same end. In
such world as this there is always
enough affirmative, positive good to be
done to occupy all ones time and
thought, all ones capaciAyof doing and
willing.
