VALUE OF FRANKNESS.
1T IS Effective and Distinctly Uplift.
Ing in Influence on Others.

1T IS Effective and Distinctly Uplift-
Ing in Influence on others.
There is no safety in the practical
dealings in life between men and
women like clear, distinct, persistent
frankness. The man who has nothing
to conceal and who conceals nothing
never has to make any explanations,
and he secures that confidence which
protects him from the suspicion that
he is holding anything back which
might influence the decision of the per-
son with whom he is dealing. 1t is
taken for granted that he has stated
his whole position without reservation.
We are constantly tempted to desert
this high plane of action because other
people do not meet us it; but our re-
lations with others ought not to be de-
termined by their attitude coward us;
they ought to be determined by our
own individual convictions. 1t ought to
make no difference how we are treated
by others so far as justice, frankness
and courtesy are concerned. 1t is aston
ishing how the Grabbed temper yields
when it is treated with uniform cour-
tesy and consideration; how the Sc
cretive spirit gives way when it is met
by perfect frankness; how the impa-
tient temper is quoted and claimed by
patience and forbearance. When we
carry ourselves steadily in all our re-
lations with others, we dispose at once
of half the difficulties which are likely
to rise, and avoid almost entirely those
misunderstanding which are the be-
ginnings of enlargement. We are
often tempted to deal with small people
on the plane of their intelligence rather
than on the plane of our own convic-
make a blunder. Such people, treated
OH a higher plane, are materially helped
to stand on that plane. They are not
slow to discern the respect that is paid
them, and they must be exceptionally
bad if they are not influenced by it.
It is far better, as matter of policy, If
for no other reason, to treat others
steadily from q standpoint which we
have taken as result of conviction than
to continually adjust ourselves to the
standpoint of others. Respect, consid-
Grafton, franliness and courtesy are
rarely lost when they are infused into
our social and business relations. In
the exact degree in which we are gov
erned by these qualifications and ex-
press them do we make ourselves not
only effective, but distinctly uplifting
in our influence upon others.-N. Y.

The thing which the laundryman said
was that Hong Fat was bad man, and
that he must give himself up to be held
by him, Charley Go Lee, for the white
man who would give a reward in money,
and that which Hong Fat said was wild
and animal like and unintelligible, and
the two enemies grasped at each other,
and the fight was on.
Charley saw that his foe was thin
and pale and weak to look upon, but he
did not see that he was maniac, with
the strength of a maniac, even count
ing the broken rib as a hindrance. The
long, snaky, wasted arms of the fugitive
of the desert closed around the washer
mans waist, and even as Charley
hooked his own arm about the neck of
the runaway to choke him and subju-
gate him, the train whistle was heard
around the curve. The laundryman
knew its import, and tried to tug him.
self and his prisoner off the line of
track, but Hong Fat clencehed the
harder and dragged his foe with him
to the space between the rails, where
they wallowed and shrieked, Charley
in fear and the desert man in crazed
rage.
Thus their quarrel ended.
What originally started the feud nc
man knows, as 1 told you in the begin.

FOR SUNDAY READING.
AN IMPROVED READING.


There is no rose but hath thorn
At least I've heard SO from my youth,
And these same fingers. scratched and torn
Have oft borne witness to It's truth.
The ancient saying is well worn,
And true, es everybody knows,
Yet 1t should read There is no thorn
But with it we may find rose"
How many, like willful child,
Strive In unreason for some thing,
A moment by Its charm beguiled,
To find it prove at last sting.
The seeming Is not always real,
Nor Is our wisdom always wise;
Our failure oft Is for our veal
A blessing truly in disguise.
Then let us not make life quest
To crafty our whims and greed;
He who is wise to know what's best, 'n
Is good to give us what we need;
Let this then be our highest AIM
Where'er we find heart that mourns
To plant some rose IN His dear name
Who wore on earth a crown Of thorns.

CHARM FOR wHooPING COUGH.
Curious Superstitions That Prevail
in Some Parts of Ireland.

Curious Superstitions That Prevail
in Some Parts of Ireland.
w. Il. Fanu, a writer on some of the
phases of Irish life, tells of two ways
in which the simple peasantry of that
country treat the whooping cough,
which is generally known among them
as chin cough. One is this: If anyone
should be seen riding on piebald horse
the father or mother of the person af-
fected runs after him, crying: You
that ride the piebald horse, what's good
for the chin cough?" Whatever the
rider suggests is procured, and given
to the sufferer. This remedy is con-
sidered very sure cure by the peas
man riding piebald horse is not met
with every day. ....
The other mode of curing the disease
is not considered so certain, but can
more easily be procured, that is, pass
ing the child three times over and under
a donkey. Some donkeys are better
than others. remember, says.a Belfast
correspondent of the Lancet, famous
one in the southwestern part of County
Down, in which the rustics had great
faith, and LIE Fanu tells of one in Coun-
ty Cork SO famous for curative powers
that the owner, Ned Sullivan supported
himself and large family on what this
remarkable donkey earned for him.
This man used to perambulate the city
of Cork, and the surrounding neighbor-
hood with his donkey, crying out: "Will
anyone come under my donkey for the
chin cough?' .... s. ... a..
Two other charms which I have
known to be used in County Down for
this disease-and it is curious that
whooping coughs and erysipelas (the
rose, as the Irish peasants often call it)
are affections most treated by charms
are the administration to the patient
of two kinds of foods (solid and liquid)
obtained from two first cousins who are
married, and soup made from the tails
of mice. Staying, several years aga
with an uncle and aunt, who were fun

Old Theater Tickets.

During the last few years large
number of small metal plates have been
found at diggings in Athens and Pira-
Gus, and they We're commonly consid-
cred to be small symbols. The Greek
archaeologist, Svoronos, has now dem.
onstrated beyond doubt that the metal
plates were used as tickets of admission
to the Theater of Dyonisos about the
time of Lycurgus. The images on these
theater tickets, certainly the oldest oil
their kind in existence, show either the
head of Pallas Athene, turned to the
left, or the head of lion, and the let
tiers of the alphabet in single, double OF
triple arrangement. 1t appears, there
fore, that the laws introduced by Lycur.
gus, which had such great influence
upon Athenians in all walks of life, ex'
tended also to the admission to theaters
which was also probably regulated by
him.-Philadelphia Record.

CHARACTER REVEALED.
Acceptance of Common OppOrtuni-
ties the Judgment Test.

Acceptance of Common oppOrtuni-
ties the Judgment Test.
This is because our habit and manner
of accepting them reveal character as
nothing else does. The power to seize
an exceptional occasion and, by nerving
ones self temporarily for tremendous
effort, to do something brilliant and con-
spicuous, which wins wide admiration,
is not to be underestimate. 1t is to be
honored and desired. But it is only one
of the elements which unite to compose
ones character. From it's nature it can
only be exhibited now and then. The
final inquiries concerning each of us are
not to be: What has he done, what can
is plain.
1t is the acceptance of common op-
portunities of service, when the ordi-
nary wear and tear of life is being felt,
when the romance of existence has
given place, ait any rate for time, to
prosaic duties and commonplace cX-
periences, that shows out underlying
character. We are not on dress parade
then. We forget or do not care to pre-
USdlh. II we are dulCh-uSnipclSu, Iicl-
full, suspicious, INDECENT or careless, we
show it then. If we are CHEEKY, patient,
energetic, spiritually minded, then it is
that those who know us best thank
God for us. The apostle has hidden us:
whether therefore We eat or drink or
whatsoever we do, do all to the glory OF
God" He might have added: whether,
therefore, we eat or drink or whatsoever
ye do, ye cannot help showing whether
we do it to the glory of God or not"
This is fair to everybody. Nothing
could be fairer. Most of us cannot do
brilliant things. Few can accomplish
acts of heroism often, if ever. But
everybody can use commons opportuni-
ties faithfully. And sometimes, in Di-
vine providence, the most uninviting
openings prove to afford occasion for
the most heartily recognized heroism.
But the Judgment test will not be
whether we succeeded in being appre-
ciated but whether we tried to be faith

| full Heart restaurant and was now out
of the wooded country and into the hot
oven of the desert. The marshal ac-
cepted the advice.
| Although he had Knocked at Charley
Go Lee for being less advanced than
himself, Hong Fat was really q resource
less and uninventive Chinaman, and
there was nothing high-grade or know
| ing about him, except his miraculous
ability in the matter of stewed tripe.
So, leaping from the window to avoid
being deported from the country he
| was fond of, he knew not what to do
next. He could only walk down the
| railroad track, and walk and walk, hop
| ing to arrive somewhere where help
| would be given. He had broken a rib
| and had fearfully plowed his face in
| falling, but it was an unimportant rib
and he did not mind his facial appear
ance. The road through the desert
was long and gray and parched, when
the daylight came after a smothering
night, and afterward the two lines Of
rails flashed a glittering invitation to
farther vistas of quivering heat, as
though it were the way straight to the
home of the damned. The night was
beautiful on the far-away line of noun
tains as he hailed the sun at daybreak;
at ten o'clock the sun was furnace
dropping a heat that was almost liquid
upon him. His broken rib panied him
and his face smarted, and he staggered
on down the line. whittier he knew not.
BY and by the sound of an approach
ing train came to him and he looked
ahead and saw the black blur at the
ends of the pointed lines of steel. He
dropped to his knees and crept off into
the desert like a poisoned dog and wait
ed in the sage for the train to pass
Then, with the insufferable sun still
beating upon him, he resumed his weary
journey. At night he came stealthily
upon village of three houses and he
wanted to steal water there, but he was
afraid, for dog barked. He went
around the handful of huts, hungry and
burning within, but fearful Of that
dread horror, deportation.
1t was thus that the aimless, rudder-
less Hong Fat travelled for full week,
hiding from trains, mourning for water,
and with fostering wounds. He began
to see things on the desert alongside,
and sometimes he lodged into the sage
when no train was coming. He talked
to himself, too, and altogether he was
an evil-lool<ing creature when Charley
Go Lee, turning an abrupt curve of the
railroad, came upon him sitting on a
fallen tree, for the traveller had now
reached the timber country, out of
which he had been so ruthlessly hailed
the week before. Charley Go Lee looked
at the returning wanderer in vast sur
prise. He called to him in Chinese, for
he could hardly believe that this crazy
creature was the Hong Fat of the Cheer
full Heart, and asked him who he was.
There was wild and maniacal cry of
rage heard in the timber camp up the
mountain side, and Charley now knew
positively that Hong Fat had come back.
