What "A Young Man Did.

A college graduate had hardly received
his diploma before he was compelled to
face poverty and family disgrace. His
father. who had baen reputed to be
wealthy. was an embeZEler and a fun.
tive from justice. His mother and sisters
were entirely dependent upon his modest
earnings in a brokers' office.
He had planned taking an advanced
course of professional study in architec.
ture. His ideal occupation had TO be
abandoned. He was III love with a
charming girl. but ceased to visit her
since marriage was out of the question
An opportunity for a yea travel in Gu
rope at a friends expens was given up
Year after year he maintained a hard
bitter struggle to max. a living at IN
congenial employment for his mother
and sisters. to support ais father abroad
and to overcome prejudice caused by the
family disgrace. He became a success
full business man, but was ~prematurely
gray at 40. His life was haunted by the
ghosts of his youthful hopes
Such lives do not furnish material for
exciting stories. They are dull and pro
sale, but are nevertheless heroic. TO
give up all that is dear to youth and to
be loyal to family obligations sometimes
is a browning triumph Of unselishntss

ment unknown until after the discovery

fore the time of Christ. Pliny the elder,
IA contemporary Of u Saviour, writes
as follows in his Natural History" re-
speeding an instrument made of the wood
of the aquifolia:
IF a staff made of this wood, when
thrown at ali animal. from want of
strength in the person throwing, falls
short of the mark, it will come back to-
ward the thrower Of its own accord. so
remarkable are the properties of that

1t is altogether probable that the

ties to the nature of the wood of which

An Eccentric Washington Woman

There is a woman in Washington So

den to the literary feast We're informed
upon arrival hat they must enter by a
side door, Is the morning being rainy
they would otherwise track mud over the
hall carpet. That the hostess is not SO
much a respecter Of persons as of things
is further evidenced by her conduct at
an afternoon reception.
Those of her guests whose garments
were ornamented with jet We're asked
during their stay to remain in the second
parlor, where the furniture was Of ma.
hogany. This sorting out process was
explained by the frank announcement
that if people would yea sharp ri

To this name as we have grown strong and great.
some have objected as being too restricted in It's
