The Ecneft of Work.

Though we all welcome season Of
rest, yet if we We're never to have any
thing in the way of regular duties to
perform what a purposeless, worrying
existence ours would become. The
cricket disporting itself gayly through
the summer hours thinks that no life
can be as pleasant or as sweet as its
happy go lucky improvident hours Of
idleness spent under blue skies and in
the full glare of the glorious sunlight,
yet when winter comes and the lack of
thought for the morrow has proved dis
astrous, then it wishes that there had
been less play and more serious employ
ment that would have brought about
more worthy results.
Outside of the worldly benefit that ac-
Crues from conscientious work. there are
other advantages that few realize unless
they have experienced them for them
selves. The blues speed away before its
helpful influence, time never drags. the
edge of sorrow is made less keen. and a
healthier mind and body stand forth Is
examples of the benefit to be derived
from having something to do beyond
idle gossiping. desultory fancy work or
round of dressing and dancing that
may seem blissful in contemplation. but
is in reality not one-half as satisfying as
the discharge of regular duties that
make one feel that one has accomplished
something worth talking abcut.-Phila-

A Substitute For Leather.


Leather possesses such excellent quail
ties for the many purposes to which il is
put that it would seem Idle to seek a
substitute. Nevertheless there are
many persons who, while they find that
leather serves as an effectual protective
covering for the foot, find also that il is
often obstinate in adapting itself to the
requirements of individual feet or to the
more or less physical abnormalities to
which SO many are subject. In such
;ases, if comfort is to he expected, only
the most supple and yielding quality
should be worn. At the same time, of
course. it should be waterproof and
durable. These qualities. so far as we
have been able to judge. belong in sat
isfactory degree to an interesting and
new material called ''fexus fibra." 1t
appears to be flax derived material,
suitably prepared and oiled. so that .o

Literary Veterans.

Every one knows what the tontine sys-
tenn of life insurance is. A number of
people pay equal sums of money into q
pool. the amount is put out al interest
and the surviving subscriber takes the
accumulated sum. Similarly every man
of letters gradually comes to be Joint
owner with other persons of mass Of
valuable literary material which cannot
be used Ivy any of the joint owners so
long AS the others survive. But if he
outlives the rest it all becomes his. and
he can do what he will with it. without
fear of hurting any ones feelings or dis
closing anything that would work in
jury to the living or to the memory of
the dead. Who is there that writes and
is still under 80 who will not admit that
the stories he knows the best and are the
best worth telling are those that he cam
not tell because of the score of people
still ON earth who would strip the dis
guises from his characters and read IS
biography what he designed to have pass
as fiction? Which of Us does not think
he might do a masnum opus if there
were no lives in being to hinder:-Scrib-
