THE MAN viz WORKS.

And the Man Who Gets Through
Things the Easiest Way He Can.
'The man that is so far advanced
that he likes the work he is DOING"
said MI. Stoggleton. has reason to feel
hopeful of himself. suppose that the
very great majority of is go through
the work we have in hand the easiest
way we can and get through it, skip
ping the hard places when possible and
thinking We'll be glad when it's fin
ished; but the next job will be just the
same. There will be just about so
many hard places in it, and then We'll
be wishing just the same that we could
get through that job.
"The fact appears to be that we are
always trying to shirk the present job.
We mean well in a feeble sort of way.
and the next thing we tackle we are
going to do right up to the handle, but
when we strike that, when that be-
comes the present work, don't we try
to shirk that too? We do, indeed. And
that's what we do all through life-dai.
ly putting off our best endeavors till to,
morrow. Kind Of a miserable thing to
do, isn't it?
"But occasionally you meet a man
who puts in his best ticks every day
and rejolces in the labor. He doesn't
care n continental what the next day
is going to bring to him-he al handle
it, whatever 1t is. Just now he's en-.
gagged with today's labor, and lie does
that up thoroughly and completely and
searches out the last nook and Granny.
He isn't trying to see what he can
pass by, but what he can root out, and
he goes home satisfied with his work,
and he's the n man in a thousand
that leads all the rest, and his pay cor.
responds with his labors."-New York

A Maori Legend

In Cassell's Little Folks there is a
quaint Maori fairy tale which con
cludes thus: Suddenly the father, who
had been looking up into the western
sky, cried out in n glad voice: There
they are! l see themv The mother
came running out at his cry, and to-
gether they saw their two children
standing hand in hand far away in the
sides of the sky, the two little stars
that had not been there before. Let
us follow them,' said the mother, and
together they rose into the deepening
twilight and fled after their children.
"But Piri and Noko, far off in the
sky, saw their parents coming and,
thinking they were angry, sped away
toward the western horizon. The par
ents followed, and when they reached
the highway Of Tame that god of light
changed them into stars. And now,
when the night is clear, you may see
two little twin stars flying away to-
ward the west and some distance be-
hind two larger stars in vain pursuit.
Thus forever they go round and, round
the world, Piri and Noko running away
from their parents because they were
so foolish as to think their mother did
not love them"

The Duttcrnx., pocL.t

The male butterflies have the proud
privilege of a pocket. but the pocket Of
a butterfly is wonderfully made. 1t is
really an extension of the under wing
folded back ON the upper side, but it is
exquisitcly colored and marked like the
upper side, so that it is very hard to
detect. and no II has yet discovered
just how it is opened. although. un-
doubtedly the butterfly can throw it
open while lie is flying.
At first glance there seems to be only
white or amber colorel silk floss with
in, but examine this with a microscope
and you will find twisted ribbons. slen-
der rods shaped like a shepherds
crook. others jointed bamboolike and
flexible rods and tiny scales Of various
sorts and patterns.
1t is known that insects have a mar
velously keen scent, and it is believed
that all these odd little objects are per-
fume boxes and that the fragrance so
thrown abroad is a signal call to the
female butterfly, which may be wan
dering about in the air. 1t is, to say
the least, a very interesting guess, and
there is evidence to prove that butter
flies and moths are summoned from
distances by odors that we would hard
ly notice.-Philadelphia Times.

Hnd II All Fixed.

The Youths Companion says that the
descendant of a M England Puritan
divine has in his possession m old ser

manuscript is written in a strange.

kled with marginal references. Read

himself in n spot, and ito be given

places. The most emphatic and I'M

Did you ever try to dodge the
rain-drops? Did not succeed
very well, did you? It's just
as useless to try to escape from
the germs of consumption. You
can't do it. They are about us
on every hand and we are con-
stantly taking them into our
lungs.
Then why don't we all have
this disease? Simply because
these germs cannot gain a foot
hold in a strong throat and
lungs. It's when these are
weak that the germs master.
The body must be we'll supplied

when the blood is poor and the

A Peculiar Dutch cu.tom,

The four Sundays of November are
observed as fete days in Holland. They
are known by the curious names Re-

fairs, November in Holland being the
month par excellence devoted to court
ship and marriage, probably because
the agricultural occupations of the year
are over and possibly because the lords
Of creation from quite remote antiq-

of having wives to cook and cater tor

On Review Sunday everybody goes
to church, and after service there is a
