The leading article in a recent issue
Of the Monthly Record, published al
the state prison, is entitled "The Bor-
derland' and is written by No. IS H
and has a decidedly religious tone.
Five rules for conduct are laid down.
and the author saws they are princi-
pies by which his life is governed:
~ If possible, be well and have a
good appetite. If these conditions
are yours. the battle of life is already
half o Many heart and soul trou-
bles arise really in the stomach, though
it may seem strange to you.
a. Be busy. Fill the hours so
full OF useful and interesting work that
there shall be no time for dwelling on
your troubles, that the day shall dawn
full of expectation, the night fall full
Of repose.
81 Forget yourself. You
will be happy if your thoughts con-
stantly dwell upon yourself, your own
.perfections, your own shortcomings,
what people think of you, and so on.
A. Expect little. Expect little of
life, not too much of your friends.

best for you; believe this truly, and the
bitterness is gone from life.-Hart-

It is racing day in Moscow, says q
writer in the Badminton Magazine.
The course is swept clear of snow, and
follows the wooded shores with red
painted ratings on each side. On one
side is a stand, with seating room for
several thousand people and a special
boz, with tent hangings, for the gov
ernor general, surmounted by the i'm
perial eagle in gold. In front of this
box, lower down, you see the prizes,
consisting of gold and silver cups
vases and ornamental pieces, all in
Russian style and taste.
The bell rings; the course is cleared
by mounted gendarmes, and now the
competitors in due order take their
places in front Of the stand, but not
side by side, as they always start from
opposite sides of sthe course, with
heads also turned in opposite direc-

1t takes fully six months for story
like the following to become public
property. Last season a Washington
woman, possessing both social and
charitable ambitions, elected to give q
reception. The affair was to be very
exclusive. Judge of the surprise wnen
n bundle OF invitations was left at the
door of hospital In town upon whose
board of managers Mrs. u. serves. The
Invitations were found to be addressed
to the trained nurses Of the institution,
and great was the wonder that the pro-
fessional ranks had been invaded for
society recruits.
A few days elapsed, and Mrs. Y. paid
a visit to the hospital. Making herself
extremely agreeable, she remarked to
the nurses
"Well, girls, hope you received cards
to my reception"
Smiles and acknowledgements an
swered in the affirmative, and Mrs. IL.
went on complacently:
Indeed, / was only too glad to re-
member you all. appreciate how
much work and how little play you
girls have, and l thought you would
enjoy little glimpse of society fun"
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1898-03-31

"No doubt of it, Mrs. H." one Of the
nurses spoke up, but none of us are
likely to have gowns suitable to wear
al such function"
ooh, that need not trouble you in the
least" returned the smiling Mrs. n.
"Now, my idea is this. OF course, 1
understand you have no evening
gowns, and that you know very few
society people, but these facts must not
interfere with your getting a peep ut
my guests and eating some of my sup
per. / thought the whole thing would
be simplified il you all came in your
pretty uniforms and caps, and took up
your stations in the dressing rooms.
You would only have to assist the Ia
dies with their wraps and you could see
the gowns to such good advantage,
and" But such a chorus of indig-
nant EXPLANATIONS rent the air at that
juncture that Mrs. Us sentence was
never completed.
The social veneering must be thickly
coated on Mrs. H., for to this day she
does not seem to understand why the
nurses meet her advances with frigid
Indifference, and why her visits to the
hospital are no longer pleasant.-Wash-
ington Star.
