Leaving No Sting.

Our manner of doing thing often
counts for more than the thing itself
Some people have the gift of doing a
gratious things ungratiously. They
seem to think it of small moment how
they act, if they do the right thing.
Their gifts are felt like a blow. 9th
ers refuse with kindness that falls
like balm. The Italian who is asked
for aims, unable to help, replies:
Pardon me, | also am poor devil. {"
That leaves no hurt, while the open
hand of some others inflicts sting.
"God cares more for adverbs than for
verbs" says an old writer. Do the
right thing, but do it rightly, courte-
ously. sympathetically.-S. S. Times.

An Exciting Rum.

The following incident in Lord VOL,
teley's military career is recorded as
having taking place when he was in
his twenties, and had been in the Brit

OF his life. 1t was in Burma, and
Wolseley was in charge of small de-
tachment. During the advance lie had
the bad luck to fall into deep hole,
and when he crawled ont found him
self on the enemy's side. AS he
emerged he was met with such show
er of bullets that he slid back i'll short
order. After few minutes he came
out again, and, amid vigorous volley,
ran for his life. lie was nearly 300
yards from the British line. and was

place OF safety. Companion.

wanted to Sell His Teeth.

The king of Bavaria was kept very
short OF money when he was boy; in
fact, the allowance for pocket money
granted to him and his brother was
only about two shillings week. One
day he heard some one say that sound
teeth were salable, and off he went to
dentist and offered to have his own
extracted for monetary consideration.
