that she had, on the whole, done well

Just then the carriage entered the

pretentious vehicle wheeled "a BIZ

THE CIG4RETTE coy INSCHooL.

A prominent teacher in one of the
large cities writes about the cigarette
habit: When he recognizes a new boy
as a cigarette-smoker land the signs
of the vice are so patent as to &c
easily detected), he sets out at once TO
break him of the habit, and if that
cannot be done, it is practically use
less to try to do anything else for him.
His experience with the incorrigible
cigarette smoker is that his power IF
attention becomes SO impaired and
his intellect so weakened that e Call
not be made to study, and he anh 1T
make Roadway even when he iris.
Morally he deteriorates into a liar,
who denies that he smokes, and con-
fesses only when he is found out If
money is kept from him to prevent
his buying cigarettes, he will steal it.
He plays truant, gives lying excuses
to his parents and teachers, forms the
lowest associations, and sinks rapidly
and helplessly into the condition OF
wreck Even cigarette smoking boys
who do not fall into such deplorable
excess, early find study irksome, lose
their desire for knowledge, and are
anxious not to go to college, but TO get
into business, which represents to
their immature foresight relief from
study, and from supervision and res
traint.

THE ABSENT MINDED NAN.

He has been at it again. He had
been reading the egg story, and de-
cided to try the trick. The first thing
to do was to boil the egg. How many
minutes ~ he asked himself, and GO
ing to the stove with the eggs in one
hand and his watch in the other, he
dropped the latter in the hot water.
Then, placing the egg on the table, he
sat down to read until the time was
up. At the end of five or six minutes
he was surprised to find the egg lying
there before him, but supposing he
had himself taken it from the kettle
and cooled it, he proceeded to crack
and peel it. The consequence may he
imagined. Finally he missed his
watch. The house was searched high
and low, and it was not until the fol
lowing morning that the cook found
it in the saucepan, where it had been
boiling for hours.

Eastward TO the lands of old,

Upon beauties yet untold.

Where the masters works are hung,
And shall listen with due patience
While hear their praises sung.
II will spend long years in study,
Learn to WELD the brush with ease,

In the world Of art and letters
Make the brush surpass the pen .
Forth then went this foolish painter
To the eastern lands of art,
Many weary years he studied
What was dearest to his heart
When an old man, bent and feeble,
Home at last he took his way,
He would start his famous picture
Right at once, without delay.
But alas! his genius failed him,
Stiff his fingers were and sore
Dim his eyes with constant plodding
In thu wondrous books of love.
Forth he went from home one even
Just at setting of the sun,
He was sad and disappointed
For life's course was nearly won.
He had learned bitter lesson
Learned where proud ambition leads,
How life is 80 soon wasted
Ere are done the living deeds.
As he gazed across the landscape.
II will paint his then" he said,
That my friends may see the dwelling
Where lived-when am dead"
And he wrought the simple picture
OF the fields at eventide,
When, at last, it was completed,
Crossed his weary hands. and-died.
And the public, long years after,
Hung it in a gallery old,
For" they said, lit is so natural

A MISTER

4 curious mystery is the temporary
uneasiness of animals about an hour
before dawn, no matter at what hour
this occurs. Children turn and moan,
elderly people awaken and turn over
for another sleep, roosters crow, dogs
become uneasy, and the horses and
cattle move about for short period,
when stiffness returns for time.
What is the cause? Are the animals
effected by some magnetic wave which
precedes sunlight an hour or so, or is
the habit one of heredity passed
down through numberless generations
from an originally wild state, when
an alertness Just before daylight was
necessary for protection from enemies?

In decorating the home many families
want design that will be not only pretty,
but unique. Here is one that New York
artist tried last year in his suburban home:

corner, wreath of mistletoe encircling
them at the chandelier From the woods
quantity OF pine cones haG been gathered.
the cones being tied In clusters with cherry
coiored ribbon and hung here and there
from the evergreens. The doorways were
bordered with evergreens and hung with
clusters OF cones, and the windows and
mantelpeces were outlined with the same.
The stairway in the hall was a dream of
artistic decoration. From each stair 10 the
ceiling WAS run line of evergreens, max
ing screen of green outside the balus-
trade all the way up. At the ceiling a
cross festoon was caught at every third or
fourth division OF the evergreen. where Il
wreath OF mistletoe was hung. Ever
greens were wound about the pillars and
