COURTEOUS. BUT CUTTING.

The Prince of Wales can be cutting as well as courteous, and when he isn't in the mood for feminine pleas antries he will not take them even from society beauties. Recently at a large bazaar the prince being tired, entered the refreshment room and ask ed certain well known society beauty, who was performing the role of waitress for cup of tea. This was soon brought to his royal high ness. who, smiling, asked her how much he owed her for it.
 "The price of the cup of tea, your royal highness, is half a crown or dinarily. but (taking sip from The tea cup), when I drink from it the price is one guinea
 'I sec" replied the prince, quietly placing guinea on the table. Then placing half crown beside it, he said:
 ''The guinea liquidates my first debt and now might I trouble you to briug me an ordinary cup of tea as I am thirsty.v
 The society beauty was too crushed to bring his royal highness the sec ond c,1p.-NeW York Press.

HINDER1NG PECULIARTTIES.

Many a youth has been hampered because of peculiarities which he has allowed to creep into his personality or manner, which, if realized by him. self might easily have been pruned and trained, had he only been taught the secret of habit forming
 Young people do not easily realize how much a pleasant and agreeable manner has to do with success. Ey. erybody likes to be surrounded by agreeable people, of gentlemanly man. ners, not by those who are gruff, un- couth, peculiar and disagreeable. We are looking for sunshine and harmo- ny ill this world. We try to avoid the dark, damp and dismal places, and shrink from harsh, disagreeable, dis cordant surroundings. fA@
 Even commanding ability will not always counterbalance disagreeable peculiarities. Young men and women often wonder why they lose their sit uations when they have q good educa- tion, ability and valuable experience. It is very often due to some striking peeuliarity or unpleasant mannerism, which the employer does not like to speak about, and he finds some other excuse for filling the position with q more agreeable person.
 Employers do not like to have mo- rose or gloomy people about them. They like bright, cheerful, buoyant, sunshiny natures, that look toward the light.
 Sarcastic, ironical employees, those who are always insinuating, finding fault and making innuendoes are nev- CT popular.
 Stubborn, obstinate self-willed peo- ~1-.x 1T. and are selfish about everything are not wanted. The over-bold, the egotisti- cal-those who are always Dragging about what they have done and can do -are also not in favor with employers.
 The tattlers those who are always meddling and making mischief among employees. and those who are always complaining are among the people who never get on.-Success.

The comparative performances of American locomotives and those of other makes are not to be establish ed in a magazine article, or, for the matter of that, in any article, writes B. F. Watson in the Engineering Maga- zine Disquisitions and assertions are worthless in the face of train-sheets; they are the only arbiters, and time and again American locomotives have been compared with foreign locomo- tiyes and have. shown themselves first in the rank of railway machines inaall that is essential Pound for pound, both in the load drawn and steam car ried, over the same route. equal skill in driving being assumed in both cases, is the only test which can be made of two engines by different makers, as re gards their capacities. The private or public opinions of more-or-less disin- terested parties upon either side have nothing to do with the issue. The enormous mileage of successfully oper- ated railway in the United States, much of it through thinly settled dis tricts where the traffic has only frac- ton of the density found in Britain or on the Continent; the comparative cheapness of American railway freight rates-stated by Mir Phillips in the Engineering Magazine for May to be only about one-sixth of what they are in Britain, while first-class American passenger fares are barely equal to third-class English fares; the phenom- enaI performances in transport also described by MT Phillips in his study of ore movement in the United States all these afford so substantial proofs
 of the efficiency and relative economy
 of American railway motive power | that no other answer need be made tc critics of the American engine. Loco
 motives which can contribute to sucl
 results, when working over roads which are in the main far inferior tc
 the average British standard, show by
 their own record the ignorance or pre- ! judice of those who would cry then
 down as costly failures" and worth
 less at any price,"

INACCURATE PEOPLE.

1t is not safe to trust people who are habitually inaccurate in their work. Even with the best intentions in the world, they become dishonest. Before they are aware of it, the habit of inac- curacy extends to their statements. They do not take pains to be thorough in anything they undertake, even in clearly expressing the truth.
 These people never carry much weight in q community, however hon. est in principle they may be, because no reliance can bep laced on their words or work. You cannot depend upon what they tell you. If they are orators, they are discredited; if they are at the bar, the judges always take their statements cum grano sails; if in the pulpit, they do not win the respect of the congregation. In fact, whatever those people do, they are placed at a disadvantage because of their habit of inaccuracy.
 There is a great difference between going just right and a little wrong. These victims of inaccuracy did not start right. They failed to realize that what is put into the first of life is put into the whole of dife.
 A pebble ill tiny stream will turn the course of river, so the seemingly unimportant habit of inaccuracy has kept many a man from success by changing the current of his life.
 Accuracy, doing things to finish, is one of the most important lessons that can be taught child, because there is moral quality at stake. Men whose ability would have made them peers in their communities have become nonentities. and their careers mediocre or total failures, simply because they were allowed in childhood to form the habit of half doing things, and of mak- ing half or exaggerated statements.

Among those in attendance is Dennis McCar- thy of Providence, who was at one time the war horse of the temperance movement in Connecticut.

Plant Lo,e4a .-.s 10. wanton.

Plant Lovers --4e No1 tVAnt0m.
 It is no uncommon thing to hear persons say that they love flowers; but watch them among the flowers and you will see them pick fine specimen, toy with it for time, and then-calmly throw it on the ground to be trodden under foot. Love never wastes the en- ergies of its object, aud we may there for set down this professed love of flowers as very unreal thing. The waste, sheer waste, of pant life is in- credible, and it is not the children who are responsible for the vandalism be- trayed by punches of wild flowers that strew the lanes, paths and porches. Every child should be taught by those who have it in charge that plants are living things, playing their part in the great scheme of life, scheme so un- fathonable that it defies the most searching scrutiny of even the most powerful intellects.-Current Litera- ture.

August sweetheart of the sun, Summer work is nearly done. While the idle days are going List thy ardent lovers Wooing. Now the year Is In It's prime Take thy brief vacation time. Stubby fields are brown and yellow, Pippins ripe are growing mellow. Ranks on ranks of shining corn, Jeweled by the dew of morn, Whisper in the evening airs Like a legion saying prayers.

EVIL OF "coNvEN1ENCEs., ],

&E4
 It is remarked by a newspaper, with tears i'll it's voice, that towns without modern conveniences are fast becom- ing scarce"
 Truly so; and the fact is not always realized by the inhabitants of some of the towns that are looking for the summer visitor that one of the great est advantages that such town may have lies in the fact that the banging and crashing trolley car, the eye-de- stroying electric street light, the ex- press train at all hours, and all the rest of the paraphernalia of city, are not part of their makeup
 A good many people go away from home to get an absolute change of en- yironment. Where are they going to get 1t if all over the land we are to have the furnishings, the sights, the noises, and the nuisances as we'll as the conveniences of city's crowded streets?
 "Oh, for lodge in some vast wild erness'' is getting to be the prayer of a good many people in the summer time That is why they go to the widest woods they can find. and seek to avoid even a suggestion of the old sights and sounds till it is the unhappy time to again go around on the old treadmill.
