PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

The good mans life is like the spark
that is brightest at the close.
The door Of mercv has hinges, and
it may be shut, and then locked with
the adamantine key of justice.
Idleness is craven's goal. No man
OF worth wants to be free from work.
Without work life is not worth the liv-
ing.
Difficulties of thought, acceptance
of what is without full comprehen-
sion, belong to every system of think
ing.
When interest is at variance with
conscience, any pretence that seems
to reconcile them satisfies the hollow
hearted.
If you want knowledge, you must
toll for it; if food, you must toll for
it; and if pleasure, you must toll for
1t; toll is the law.
To let man know that you recog-
nize and rejoice in some good quality
of his, is to bless him with new
heart and stimulus.
Courtesy is the passport to success.
We double the power of our life when
we add to its gifts unfailing courtesy.
The world always begrudges room to
boor.
The habit of blaming others when
things go wrong is an insidious and
dangerous one. Far more is it to the
purpose to inquire within whether the
fault, or much of it, may not lie at
home.
Benefcence should never be exer-
cised at random, nor upon irrational
impulse, but should be the outcome
and expression of disposition trained
and nourished in the atmosphere of
human friendship.
Cheeerfulness upbuilds, uplifts, at
tracts. Be cheerful. If you have not
the habit, cultivate it. Grumbling,
whining, complaining, are so much
capital taken from your vital, mental
stock, and put to the bad use of help
ing to make others miserable.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

A more glorious victory cannot be

By doing each duty fully as it comes

aptitude for succeeding duties. Faith
fulness day by day in small things will
make us keen to recognize the divine
voice with reference to greater things.
Chapman.
We are apt to underrate the moral
quality of mans regular vocation,
his daily talk, his business, to look

character, nothing else that so fur

Pensions for British Omcers.

In the future wounded Br itish OF.

equitable manner, the Queen having
recently approved by royal warrant q
change in the existing pension rules.
Her Majesty orders that
can officer who has received in ac-
ton bodily injury, certified by the

of our Secretary of State, be allowed
gratuity of from three to twelve
months full pay of the appointment
held by him at the time of the injury.
If at the expiration of the period for
which the gratuity has been awarded
the injury be certified to be likely to
be permanent in it's effects, the officer
may be granted temporary pension
at half the rate prescribed in the scale
laid down. Such pension shall be
renewable from year to year at the
discretion of our Secretary of State,
according to subsequent reports of
the regulated military authority. II
the temporary pension is renewed for
five years, and the bodily disability
continues, the pension may be con.
verted into permanent pension.

In his address to the Northampton
Educational Society at Northampton,
Mass, President Harris, of Amherst,
said that the ideal educati on was given
by the old district school system, by
which the pupils gained three months
of book learning every year and
rounded it out with nine months of
industrial training in the yocations of
their fathers. Nowadays, in a school
OF six rooms he would have one room

ual training, and perhaps the
third for a school of sewing and laun-
dry work. He would have the pupils
go to school but half of each day, and
80 restore to the parents some of the
service and the employment of their
children, who are now almost ex-
clusively taken from them by the
schools.

Shot by "A Pet Cat.

While attempting to slay house
,at with rifle Francis Pelky, of No
gato, CAL, narrowly missed losing his
life. The cat, an old household pet,
literally pulled the trigger and sent a
bullet into Pelky's left foot.
Mr.. Pelky had decided to kill the
animal because of its extreme age.
He held her in one hand and with
the other placed the muzzle of the
rifle at her breast. Tabby's age,
however, had not dimmed her eyes or
dulled her instinct of self-preserva-
ton. InI the struggle Pelky's rife

the weapon by the stock. His fingers
and the cats foot accidentally touched
the trigger, and bullet nearly cut
off the big toe of his left foot. Ths

Whales are not the only objects
found i'll the ice. Various expeditions
have reported the finding of human
bodies, whalers or other seamen who
had been caught in the snow, buried
in the ice, and preserved for years.
In 1922 Capt. Burnham found the
body of seaman buried in blue ice
four feet from the surface, both body
and clothing being in perfect state
OF preservation. Captain Kendall of
the British navy, in examining the
soil of ID, ception Island, one OF the

School Pupils adopt Rules of Etiquette.
A new departure which has been

THE MARCH OF PROGRESS.


An Episode in the Career of Carlisle
Indian Centre Rush.
The champion middle weight of the
world stepped off the train that was
rapidly bearing him to California and
new laurels. 1t was small Dakota
town at which the train stopped. On
the station platform was the usual
crowd of loungers, including lone
savage.
The champion had been indulging
in strong waters, despite the prohibi-
ton laws of North Dakota, and was
in a frisky mood-rather searching
for excitement.
He espied the Indian; then he beck
oned to his friends.
"Watch me have some fun with old
Ripping Thunder there" said he
His friends smiled in sympathy, and
the party made towards the lone saw
age.
The champion struck theatrical
attitude. "Me bad man, John"
quoth he. "Want to drink Injun's
bloodr"
The Indian gazed in cold disdain,
and stepped backward.
The champion followed "Urghhp
said he, grinding his teeth. ''If I
can't have Injun's blood, knock off
Injun's hat off, anyhowr'
With this he made an attempt to do
it. Then it was that the barometer
fell foot in one-tenth of second in
that part OF Dakota, indicating pow
erful storm centre.
1t was too sudden to get details,
but the champion rose in the air,
Tapping like flag in gale of wind,
and the champion came down again
with thump that ratified the station
windows. And the champion flew to
the right and to the left--now here,
now there-landing ON his head or
feet, regardless of consequences.
There was a scurry of dust, vibrat-
ing champion impelled by what
seemed to be half-dozen lone In
juns, and the trouble was over.
The champion sat up and regarded
his unmoved conqueror.
"It's all right, my FRIEND" said he,
sadly. This is on me, and / don't

tell me where you learned the art l
