A Kind Thought.

Long years ago when I was girl at
boarding-school, silver-haired old
lady was in the habit of coming into
our advanced French class now and
then. We girls all fell in love with
Madame Closson for her kind face and
gentle, placid manners, and used to
think it great privilege to sit by her
and find The place for her and help
her with her wraps after class was
over.
One day when it was my good for
tune to hold the place Of honor beside
her, the last one to recite chanced 10
be Miss Parks. She was daypupil, a
plain, awkward girl, and very dull.
1t was evident from her first SEN
tence that she did not know the les
son, but Madamoiselle patiently heard
her through, apparently desiring to
see If there was anything in it she did
know.
When we had been dismissed, and
[ took up Madame Closson's shawl to
iay it over her shoulders, 1 was think
ing, "What a dreadfully hOmely,
stupid girl NJ iss Parks is p' Could the
dear old lady have read my thoughts
1 think she had soul too innocent for
that, but this is the remark she made
"My dear, what .sweet-tempered
disposition Miss Parks seems to have"
The words went through me like an
electric shock. For the first time /
realized my own selfishness and saw it
contrasted with the goodness Of heart
which could see only goodness in 9th.
ers. My eyes filled with tears and
with sudden impulse, I kissed the
hand she gave ME Us she said goodbye.
Again and again since that day,
when some unkind thought has come
into my mind, the memory of dear
Madam Blossoms kind face and sweet
words has come to help me; and if ]
have learned to see more Of God's i'm.
age in those meet than ] did in my
girlhood, owe it in great measure
to the dear old lady's kind thought

Heart failure as cause of death, to
use cant expression has become
chestnut" We read in the New
York Medical Examiner:
q The clerk of the Board of Health OF
Syracuse. says Insurance, recently re-
fused to issue u burial permit on the
physician attending the deceased,
which simply gave "heart failure" as
the cause of death. The physician,
when informed by the undertaken OF
the clerks refusal, declined to give
any more difinite account Of the case
for the benefit of the board than was
contained in the words heart disease.
This resulted IN the board, at its next
meeting, adopting resolution 10 the
effect that physicians in the future
will have to specify the direct cause Of
death, and that "hcart failure" "as-
thenia," and such generalities will not
answer the purpose. This is sensible.
To say that q person died from ''heart
failure" is to say no more than that the
person died because his OF, her heart
stopped beating, and 10 assign "asthen-
ia" as the cause of death is simply to
affirm that the person died by reason
of inability to live.

Still at MY Lessons.

"Still at my Lessons" was the sig.
nificant exclamation of Michael
Angelo when in the height of his glory
he was surprised studying the models
and monuments of the ancient
masters.
If this gifted man, who, even in an
age when Christian art was at its re.
NTH, stood unrivaled before the world
as painter, sculptor and architect, wa
content to keep at his studies, at what
time should the common learner in
life's school cease to become dilligent
student? A man may have genius and
he may be inspired for the work set
before him but if he wishes to be
successful in his life-work he must
keep patiently, preservingly at his
lessons. And is this not true of all the
worlds great workers ? Their grand
developments of character are the out.
growths of continued, persistenl
study.
Efficient, preserving and fruitful
activity brings no uncertain result
The mechanic who wishes to become q
skilful workman does not give up his
lessons when the days of his appren
ticeship are over: neither will the
physician who wishes to rise in his
profession lay aside his books when he
receives his degrees. Rather will they
not keep still at their lessons. suppli

and courageous study until they
