1t is mark Of weakness to be eccentric
in dress; and to devote to it SO much time
and thought that tie pursuit dwarfs the
mind and takes from the opportunity for
culture and for spiritual growth is worse
than weak-it is wicked. One may, how
ever, especially in these days of artistic ex-
cellence in dress, select the mode, the
jewels, the shapes, fabrics and colors best
suited to ones personality, and in a man
ner adopt n style of her own. The dress
for the street and promenade should have
an appropriate relation to its uses; the
business dress should be trim, tidy and
unobtrusiye; the home dress and that for
occasions of ceremony, ornate, tasteful,
elegant and costly n the purse can buy"

j THE HORSE OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
which is Greek for bulls head" The
king would gladly have bought the horse,
though the Thessalian asked an immense
sum for it, but none of the courtiers could
manage the creature Whenever any of
them mounted him he reared and threw
some of their bones
. Now, the young Prince Alexander, care
fully watching the horses proceedings,
noticed that he swerved aside and became
unruly from fear of his own shadow, and
having asked and obtained his fathers per-
mission to try his hand, he boldly mounted
the animal and rode him full against the
sunshine, so that his shadow fell behind
him. Bucephalus, no longer seeing the OBJ
lect of his dread, became quite docile and
carried the prince quietly. The king was
so overjoyed at the courage and skill of his
youthful son that he presented him with
the horse, eXclaiming, Go my son; seek
another kingdom, for Macedonia cannot
suffice for thce."
: Alexander became much attached to his
horse, and took him with him through all
his campaigns in Asia. After bearing bis
master safely through many conflicts, Blu
cephaluS is said to have died Of the wounds
he received in the battle with Porus. the
Indian king: but Arrian, the historian of
Alexander, says that he died Of fatigue
and old age, being then about 80 years old.
However that may be, Alexander was deep

a story for Very Little Readers.

There never was such musical family
Ella played on the accordion, and seemed
rs if she could not tire of playing. HC-
brother Fred had a trumpet which he blew.
Rosa did not play, but she could sing. and
George and Harry had violins, on which
they scraped from morning until night.
Now, George was the one who could play
best on the violin, and so he was the director
OF this little concert band. He placed a
piece of music on the stand, and put his
violin under his arm and held his bow in
his right hand, after the fashion of musical
directors Said he: ELLA and Harry stand
in front and Fred and Rosa stand behind,
and when wave my bow and count one
you must all begin"
But what are we to play" asked Ella.
