leading at Breakfast.

Reading at breakfast is fatal to socia,
bility. In breakfasting alone it is per.
Missile, but not in company. Leigh
Hunt wrote in The Indicator: "When
we lived alone, we could not help read
ing at meals, and it is certainly deli
cious thing to resume an entertaining
book at particularly interesting pas
sage with a hot cup of tea at ones ell
bow and piece of buttered toast in
ones hand. The first look at the page,
accompanied by a coexistent bite of the
toast, comes under the head of intensi-
ties" A book at breakfast is no compli-
ment to the cook, but newspaper is
an insult. On the other hand, news
paper at breakfast is a benefit to the
doctor, for it is when one is put off
ones guard by the struggle with the
folds and the search for items Of inter-
est that the way is made easy for the
approach of dyspepsia.
In the old days of The Spectator and
Tattler, when papers were of a reason
able size and reposeful to boot, they did
no harm. Now-well, now the largest
circulation in the world may produce
the poorest digestion. It has been re-
marked (by collector) that the only
literature suitable at breakfast is book
sellers catalogues, but since catalogues
lead always to kilograms or envy this is
doubtful. The line should probably be
drawn at private letters. -Cornhill Mag.

A Cry In the Night.

A trembling voice in the depth OF night,
When all is still, | sometimes hear;
It's plantivc cry puts sleep to flight,
And wakes me with his note of fear
1t is my little boy that calls
My five year old with eyes Of blue,
Who, through the dark ana silent halls
Says 'Papa, let mc come to you.
know his little heart IS filled
With dread of something underlined
Some nccting vision that has thrilled
His soul and stOrmcd his peace OF
mind
And in that lonely hour, when all
Is darkness and he cannot see,
give him courage as call,
Don't be afraid, but come to mel!
Then may we, too, in lack Of light,
When darkness, fear and doubt op-
press,
Lift up our voices in the night,
For comfort in our loneliness,
To Him alone whose Holy Name
Is help for oil on land and sea,
And in our direst need exclaim
20, Father, let us go to Thee"
]. e. BARRETT.

How Worry Affects the Brain.

1t has not only been determined that
worry will kill. but also from recent dis
coveries just how cit kills. remarks a
writer in Science Siftings 1t Is be-
lievcd that scores Of the deaths set down
to other causes are due to worry and that
alone. The theory rs simple one-so
simple that anyone can readily UNDER
stand It. Briefly put, 1t amounts to this:
Worry Injuries beyond repair certain cells
of the brain; and the brain being the nu
tritive center Of the body, and other or
gans become gradually injured, and
when some disease of these organs, or a
combination Of them. arises. death fin
ally cnsues. Thus does worry kill. In
sidiously, like many other diseases, 1t
creeps upon the brain in the form Of a
single, constant, never lost idea; and, as
the dropping of water over period OF
years will wear groove in stone, so
does worry gradually, imperceptibly, but
no less surely, destroy the brain cells
that lead all the rest-that are, so to
speak, the commanding officers of mental
power, health and motion.

II Beg Your Pard on"

A civil word is the cheapest thing in
the world. The story has been told of n
young lady, who abruptly turned Il cor
ner and very rudcly ran against a boy
who wa, ragged. small and frcrklcl.
Stopping as soon as she could, she turned
to him and said:
II beg you pardon; indeed. I am
sorry"
The small, ragged and frccklcd boy
looked up in blank nmaZcmcnt for an in
stant; then. taking off about three
fomrths of Il cap, bowed very low, smiled
until his face was bcaming, and answer
cd: you kin hcv my parding and wei
come, miss. and yer may run ne i'm me an
knock me clean down, an | won't say Il
word"
Alter the young lady passed on, he
turned to II comradc and said half apol-
ogcttcalIy:
II never had anyone ask my parding
an 1t kind O took me off my feet"
