Humor From a Library

many amusing and queer specimens OF the
genus homo.
A librarian of long experience tells a
good story of woman who wanted very

neither the title nor the authors namo

later she returned, her face radiant, and.
beaming upon the librarian, she said tho
book she wanted was Gloria Mundi.'

ing. Few persons have any idea how these
lectures are arranged and still less what
the lecturer receives for his orations.
OF recent famous lecturers Nansen and
Stanley probably attracted the largest
crowds. Indeed, it is difficult to guess
what these men received in fees for their
lecturers. Stanley is said TO have received
$3.50 for his two hours discourse at the
Albert Hall. London, describing his last
and triumphant journey through central
Africa.
Although actual figures are not forth
coming as to the amount Stanley received
for the lectures he delivered, his agent,
Major Pond, has stated that the gross re-
ceipts for his first lecture in New York in
1890 amounted to almost $4,000. Altogeth-
er. The great explorer delivered 10 lectures
in America, often receiving as much at
81, SEQ a lecture. Nansen was even more
successful than Stanley as a lecturer, and
undoubtedly realized snug little fortune
|. for the hundreds of lectures he delivered
in various countries.
When DR.. John Watson was last in
America he received an offer of $4,000 for
II lectures. He refused the offer as he
could not afford the time. When in the
United States in 1885, DR.. Watson address
ed Sc audiences in a days. His lecture
| agent cleared $4,000. When Or .Talmage

fewer than 20 addresses, for which he was

cup citron sliced very thin, half tea

brown sugar, half teaspoonful each OF
salt and grated nutmeg. two nearly

until liquid, add yolk, stir until it
thickens; add brandy just previous to
serving.
The pudding may be boiled in three
ways: in a cloth, mold or bowl. In any
case the water must boil rapidly and
not stop boiling for one moment. If a
bag is used. keep it entirely covered
and turn several times, but not above
water. The bag should be scalded,

Don't be Afraid to Work.

One thing that keeps young men
down is their fear of work. They aim
to find genteel occupations, so they can
dress well and not soil their clothes
and handle things with the tips of their
fingers. They do not like to get their
shoulders under the wheel and they
prefer to give orders to others or figure
as masters and let someone else do the
drudgery- There is no doubt that in
dolence and laziness are the chief OBJ
Stacles to success.
When we see a boy who has just Sc
cured position take hold of every
thing with both hands and Jump right
into his work. as if he meant to sue
coed, we have confidence that he will
prosper. But, if he stands around and
asks questions when told to do any
thing: if he tells you that this or that
belongs to some other boy to do, for it
is not his work; if he does not try to
carry out his orders in the correct way;
If he wants a thousand explanations
when asked to run an errand and
makes his employer think that he could
have done the whole thing himself
one feels like discharging such a boy
on the spot, for he is convinced that
he was not cut out for success. That
boy will be cursed with mediocrity or
will be failure. There is no place in
this century for the lazy man. He will
be pushed to the wall.-Success.

idea is clever one, and as to the use
fuiness of such bag there can be no
argument.
There are many ways of making pa

was of piece of holland, such as win
dow curtains are made of. Take
piece eighteen inches wide by forty
inches long, sew the ends together like

is used for fancy work and sew to the
edge on each side. Take strip of
wood as long as the linen is wide. slip
inside and tack the linen to it. This is
to keep it out fiat and will be the top
of the holder. Take a piece of rope
as long as you want to hang by and
tack to each end of the stick, add tas-
sells of raveled rope. A spray of morn

extend across the bottom and up one
size; and the word Papers in large

Those With Facility to Make Most Of

Providence ought to have so ar
ranged that every woman should be
born with a silver spoon in her mouth, $

Many a woman suddenly thrown on her
resources, unequipped with profession
or trade to do battle with the world.
and cropping her way with uncertain.
timid feet, has probably vaguely felt
that such a provision would have been
only justice on the part of Providence
which manufactured woman on too
frail plan TO endure hard knocks and
rebuffS.
Women have, however. "A certain ia
cility for making the most of their op-
portunities which carries them over
many rough places. They take up new
occupations and new modes Of life with
greater ease than do men. Their i'm
aginations are most active and they
have ingenuity which prompts them to
enter upon occupations at which the
average man would scott as absurd and
doomed to failure.

bright minds who have succeeded along
odd lines of work.
Olle young woman with no practical

students and business poole. In a few
places she had acquaintance who
eagerly grasped the chance to get up
spreads of home cooking. These told
of their good fortune to others, and so
famous became her ability to turn out
delicious roast chickens, which she had
delivered hot at any hour ordered, that
1t was not long before that one line of
cooking paid her exceedingly well.
Baked beans and brown bread, mince
and squash pies were also staple arti-
cles which she sold in considerable
quantities, as well as many other
dishes which she made to order. OF
course the secret of her success lay in
the fact that her cooking was always
exactly right, and possessed that de-
