actual life that they do not really be.

are told that we ought not to work sc
hard; ought not to put such strain
upon ourselves; ought to make oui
ideals simpler and easier of attainment
ought not to want SO much; ought, as
The British Medical Journal once said,
to "take a little more care not to kill
ourselves for the sake of living"
There are silly extremes of overwork,
and tragic ones, like mania, which nc
one would seek to justify. They are
generally to be condemned on Other
grounds than that they risk life. But,
as rule, the multitude of men in pro-
fessional and business pursuits, whose
intensity Of work excites these homilies.

A good story is told of Isaac Newton.
1t seems that one day, feeling chilly, he
ordered his servant to build good roar
ing fire in the CRATE, and when his orders
had been obeyed he drew his chair up
and enjoyed the cheerful warmth. In a
short while he dropped into deep thought,
and became unmindful of the heat of the
fire until it grew SO intense that he was
compelled to notice it. He rang the bell
violently for the servant, and when he
came ordered him to move the crate.
The servant scratched his head in puzzled
silence, and Newton, becoming thoroughly
exasperated with the heat and the SER
wants disobedience, shouted, "Will you
move that CRATE ?' The servant jumped
this way and that in terror, and finally
coming to his senses, said: "Would it
not be better, sir, for you to move your
chair ?" "Welll well! well'' said New
ton. upon my word, never thought
of that!'-Ha7per' Round Table.

Plum Pudding Betrayed Him.

London Letter to Paris Temps.
The English are proud of their watch
dogs and Ii is known that many farmers
rely upon the caclxle of their guinea hens
for the protection of their henroosts, but
in addition to all that England has just
afforded an example of the safeguarding
qualities of plum pudding. This unexpect-
ed demonstration took place In house
on the Portdown road. in the Maidavale
quarter of London, belonging to Mr..
Preston. a surgeon in the navy.
At about $3.50 o'clock in the evening
burglar got into the house through the
cellar by breaking the lock of the kitchen
door. This burglar was George Donovan.
He knew that the house was empty. The
family were at the theater. and the serv-
ants took advantage of their absence TO
go on a vacation of few hours. Favor
ed by these circumstances Donovan had
little trouble In reaching the dining room.
There an enchanting spectacle was pre-
sented to his eyes. A Hindoo poet tells
us the story of the brigand of Delhi who.
at the moment when he was about TO cut
a hole in the wall of a house to get in
and commit a robbery. hesitated whether
he would cut 1t In the form of a Tyre or
of a flower or of a bird. George Dono-
van was not absorbed by any such artis-
tic preoccupations. He noticed on the
table a splendid plum pudding, something
that he hadn't tasted for a long time.
So he sat down In front of the national
dish. cut a huge slice of IL and sailed in.
The pudding was delicious. Like Raggles,
Donovan struck II rich. He cut slice af-
ter slice but unfortunately for him a
plum pudding is not possessed of the
light qualities that belong to French pas
try. Soon the burglar got thirsty. and
in his search for something to drink he
discovered a bottle OF Scotch whiskey.
his favorite beverage. lie remained at
the table enjoying himself thoroughly for
about an hour. Soon he became oblivious
of his professional duties. In fact. he
didn't know where he was. so he threw
TO sleep with an unrufiled conscience. At
about midnight ne was aroused up by
policeman who had been called in. He
without hesitation his object,
but he was loud in his praise of that
pudding. Addressing Surgeon Preston.
he said he would like to know II the
pudding was made in the ,house or in
somet confectionery establishment. be-
cause, he said. he never before had tasted
anything so delicious and he wanted TO
taste IL again. He was taken before a
police justice of Marylebone. VINO COM
mitted him for trial.
"All right. Judge" he said. but. all
the same, that was a fine pudding ana
