Tho Proper Spirit

That some people have q proper under
standing of the contagiousness Of diph-
iberia, and proper regard for the well
fare of others, was we'll illustrated in
Philadelphia u few weeks ego. A young
boy had taken n book from q public IL
5rary, and while he had it ut his home
was attacked with diphtheria- When
he recovered his mother sent to the Ii
brary a new copy of the book that had
been borrowed, stating that, as her
son had had the other copy while SUI
fering from the disease, she was afraid
it might spread coutagion, and had
therefore burned it. That Is the spirit,
says the Ledger Of that city, that should
actuatc every n having care of pa
tionts suffering from dlphthcria, for
when it begins to rule epidomics of DIS
ease will become almost unknown

The idea that the character is a
fixed, unalterable quantity is likely to
be for most Of US an uncomfortable
one. And yet not q few people OF
eminence have held it. Carlyle was
one Of them. He ono said that he
was SO convinced of it that if he had
his own way he would put all rogues
in q bag and drown them out Of the
life they polluted. This is not all
estimate of existance which is apt TO
confer dignity upon it But, thank
goodness, neither is it an estimate We
are bound to except.

This, is not On age of following

often inds further progress impossi-

of individual cxsrtion, Independent
action and selfrcliance. Originality
is the watch-werd, and only those
who accept il and make If their guild

ever increasing, ever more an obstacle,
demands new ideas, new methods and
new devices to overcome, and only

In its work of redistricting the
State the Legislator will be very eau
titus. An effort will be made to so
arrange the counties that hereafter
no Republican can be elected to Con-

fail, for the simple reason that nearly
all the young men growing up will
be voting the Republicans ticket when
they come in as voters and in semc
counties there are more boys than
there are voters just now.

choosing h Bnby.s Name in India.

a IIindoo baby is named when i.
is II days old, and usually by the
mother. Sometimes the father wishes
for another name than that chosen
by the mother. In that case the
names are written OIL separate slips
of paper and a lamp placed over each.
The name over which the lamp burns
brightest is given the child. Egyptian
parents choose a name for their baby
by lighting three wax candles; to
each of these they give a name, one
of the three always belonging TO some
dignified parsonage. The candle that
burns the longest bcstows the name

The first enemy that i'll health
brings in its train is perhaps egotism:
and q formidable enemy it will often
prove. The man who never enjoys
good health is forced to keep guard
over himself, to ask whether this or
that course of treatment seem to be
the more hopeful. His thoughts be-
ing thus drawn towards himself, he
becomes sclf-absorbed; "my health
my interests" "my concerns" begin
to take a larger place in the moving
panorama of life than they do with
a physically healthy man.
