Timorousness of Notable Men.

The late Lord Derby earned the
title of the Rupert of Debate" from
his dashing alacrity, but he declared,
when I am going to speak my
throat and lips are as dry as those of
a man who is going to be hanged. "
He never rose to speak without ex-
periencing a peculiar and very IN
pleasant nervous tremor. The same
is said of Lord Lyndhurst. That
eminent jurist and statesman was
totally unable to free himself, from
beginning to end of his career, of
trepidation and nervous emotion
when he got upon his legs to address
either court or parliament. Can
ming, too, told his friends that he
knew beforehand, by a disagreeabIe
set Of symptoms, when he should
win and hold the ear of the house
and extort the admiration even of
his adversaries. He was always con-
scious of an ominous chill of fear.
It meant not failure, as was his
dread, but a fine grafton. Cassell's

NJ. Remains Library Coat.

When arranging his books Renan
was accustomed to put ON an old
coat, almost in rags. On the day
when he was for the first time to
meet the Due d'Aumale at the acad-
envy he remembered the appoint
ment while thus busted, and without
remembering how he was dressed
took a cab to the academy. There
he had the usual cordial reception,
and had long talk with the new
academician.
On returning home, before Mime.
Renan had time to make any remark,
he said to her, Il am just back from
the academy, and l don't know what
there is about me, but all my col
leagues, while exceedingly friendly,
had a surprised look" Nine. Renan
then called his attention to his IL
brary coat. IN. de Blowitz in Lon

Practical Charity.

A closer alliance between public
and private charities must be Sc,
cured. If the public authorities con;
tinue to administer outdoor relief
they ought to be in constant com
munication with the private agencies
engaged in the same work. There is
no reason why there should not be
hearty cooperation between the
overseers of the poor and the agent.
and visitors of the benevolent So
cieties. The lack of such co-opera.
ton is one of the gaps through which
mendicancy creeps in.-Rev. Wash
ington GLADDEN. in Century.

PHYSICAL Exercise.

DR.. Sargent estimates that the pur-
suit Of outdoor sports is limited to
probably less than 1 per cent. of our
vigorous young men. Even among
the members of athletic organiza-
lions only 10 per cent. are really ac-
tive. DR.. Sargent attributes the in
creasing lack of interest to the grow
ing tendency among Americans, as a
people, to pursue sport as an end in
itself rather than as a means to an
end. In making excellence in the
achievement the primary object of
athletic exercises they are robbed of
half their value in various ways-for
instance, by increasing the expenses
of training; by the devoting of too
much time to practice; by reducing
the number of active competitors
by relying upon natural resources
rather than on cultivated material ;
by depriving the nonathletic indi
vidual of incentive to physical exer-
tons; by depriving the exercises of
their efficiency as means of health.
DR.. Sargent holds that the harmo-
NOUS development of the physique
and the building up and broadening
out of the highest types of manhood
and womanhood ought to offer in
ducement enough for each to work.

me up quietly out of my own basin.
Wondrous echo! my dear sir, :"

A Dog with a Passion for PaDers.

A friend whose factory is not far
from London bridge had fine re-
triever which suddenly contracted a
habit of bringing in all the daily
papers and latest periodicals. The
owner was much exercised in mind
as to where the dog obtained this lit
erature and had a watch set upon
him. -
It was soon discovered that the ami
NAL went to London bridge station to
meet the people on their way to bust
ness, selected an unsuspecting vic
tim, snatched the paper or book
from his hand or coat pocket, and
hied off to his master in high glee,
Swift punishment soon cured him of
his thievish propensities, and he was
not allowed even to carry any parcel
or stick-an accomplishment which
had evidently melted him to robbery
with violence.-London Telegraph.
