PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Self-inspection is the best cure for
self-esteem.
Write ii on your heart that every
day is the best day in the year.
To suffer is the lot Of all those who
press forward. ahead of the world.
II one treat an enemy as a friend
be may make a friend Of the enemy.
No matter what his rank or posi-
ton may be, the lover Of books is
the richest and happiest Of the chill
dren of men.
A perfect human life-that Is. q
life in which all the bodily and men
tai powers of man are fully devel-
oped and exercised-is the highest
good for the individual
Time iraweth wrinkles In a fair
face, but addeth fresh colors to a
fast friend which neither heat nor
cold, nor misery. nor place, nor ies-
tiny can alter or diminish.
What a curious path fate often
seems to make her mortal feet, lead
ing them exactly whittier they have
resolved not to go, and shutting up
against those ways which seemed so
clear and plain.
Experience of life makes us sure
Of one thing, which we do not try to
explain-thst the sweetest happiness
We ever know comes not from love.
but from sacrifice. from the efforts to
make others happy.
With a quickened eyesight go on
discovering much good on the worse
side, remembering that the same pro-
css should proporftionately magnify
and demonstrate to you the much
more good on the better side.
There are few. IL any. in whom we
cannot find something to esteem IL
We search for it; but we often allow
their wrong doing to form so thick
cloud over their whole nature that
all the bright spots are hidden from
our view. II we had more Of that
charity which believeth all things
ami hopeth all things. We should be
quicker to detect the good. slower to
mark the evil. anxious to bring out
and develop the former. and glad to
cast the mantle Of silence over the
latter.

night my brother and I vent to the

was a hot night anu the house was
crowded and there wasn't anything to
do but to stand around and talk tn the
people one could reach. while the peo.

Arouna LAC World Afoot.

A remarkable traveller IS Russian Cossack, who is journeying around the world on foot. He left his home on the slopes of the Caucasian noun tains in 1892, and set out on tramp ing expedition, with the determina- tion of seeing the people and the countries of the world, having been filled with this desire from reading books of travel. During the nine years he has been in central Asia, Siberia, Manchuria, Corea, Japan, In dia, Persia, Turkey and the southern countries of Euorpe. He was in Paris during the recent exhibition there, and subsequently, came over to London. He has yet to visit America, Australia and Africa. In the course of his wanderings he has experienced many strange adventures. He has gone days without food, and was obliged to make some of his sea journeys as a stowaway. He has acquired on his journey fair knowl- edge of six languages. London Chronicle.

Deep Play.

The author of the book on gam blers and gambling mentions that when he first came into the world, in 1750, there was no such thing as a faro table admitted into the houses of people of rank and fashion; that in his childhood people had too much pride to receive tribute from the proprietor of such machine, and that excessive gambling was not as a rule carried on in private houses, but at clubs, where the play was deeper than ever was before or since. One can scarcely imagine, however, deeper play at any period than was carried on in the "clubland'' of the regency; indeed, play survived in that most exclusive country long after Fox and the wild prince had given up the dice box.
