A Good SuIcIdnl Rule.

Always take it for granted that
everyone means well by you, unless
you have proof to the contrary. The
average person in society has a good
natured, or at least cynical, sort of
tolerence and liking for you. Very
few actually hate you and want to
spite you. When you find out that
there is some one who does, don't dis
cuss it or quarrel about it if it can be
avoided. just drop the person from
your life as completely as possible,
and, above all, never descend to abuse
him or her. 1t will hurt you worse
than it will your enemy. Never treas
ure up grievance; it will grow out
of all proportion with nursing.

hammered coins Of those days. They
were worth all the way from 10 to 40 per
cent less than their face value, and every
body who took one was swindled more or
less. 1t was particularly hard upon poor
people. An attempt at reform was made
by calling in and declaring uncurrent all
these debased coins, and making only
legal tender new coins with 'milled'
edges, which could not be clipped with
