The screaming walloon is hard duck
to kill. Its hide Is very tough and is
thickly covered with feathers and down.
Besides the bird is Il great diver: one Of
the kind that used TO dive Mt the flash

flashed when fired. 1t is of very little
value for table use. being SO tough The
only way to manage it at all is to skin
it and parboil it in a big pot with plenty
of water. The negroes make caps of
walloon skins.

The great German Goethe in the
greatest passage in all his novels teaches
that there are three reverenceS TO be
learned: FIRST. reverence for what is
above us: for God, and for all those who
show his power and truth. Second. rever-
ence for those on a level with US, as each
human soul is Il particle of Divinity.
Third. and greatest of all, reverence for
all below Us. especially those in poverty.
suffering and humiliation. This last les
son Goethe pointed out to us as made
clear and illustrated by the life OF the
founder of Christianity. Cultivate reyer-
ence for all that is good, true and beau
tiful. for the human soul in its greatness
and in its weakness You may believe at
first that no one is more wise than you,
nor better. Smother that belief for a
while and defer 10 others. Study the best
that is in the people around You. Think
more of them and less of yourself Try
to make them comfortable and happy in
all little ways. At heart cherish high
and unsetish ideals. If the mass of am
bilious American girls would do this for
awhile the manners Of Americans would
improve, for it is always in civilized
lands, the women who set the standard Of
manners

founded in 1882. During the year 1899
the total number of matriculated stu
dents in attendance was 234S. OF these
1886 were enrolled in the faculty of arts.
1899 in the faculty of medicine. 36S in
law. A in divinity, as in science and -
i'll music. Among the matriculated stu
dents were 236 women.
ST. Andrews university is even more
ancient than Edinburgh, having been
founded in 1411. 1t originally included
three separate colleges and corporations:
st. Salvatore, dating from 1850; St.
Leonard's, 1912 and st. Mary's. 1887.
In l74I the two first named were united
and took the faculties of arts and medi-
cine, St Mary's being devoted to theOl-
ogy. University college, founded at Dun
dee in 1880. was made a part of the
University of St. Andrews in 1897. The

qae Thumb Reveals Character.

The thumb confeSseS the man; no man
is clever enough TO deceive his thumb
For all time it has been divided into
three parts typifying the three qualities
that master the w0rld-will, logic and
love. The first or nail phalange signifies
will: the second, logic; the third, which
is the boundary Of the Mount OF Venus,
love. When the thumb is unequaily de-
veloped. and the first phalange is eX-
tremely long, it is neither love nor logic
that governs the individual. but merely
sheer will. If the middle phalange be
much longer than the first, reason pre-
dominates, yet the man may not have the
power to will himself to do thai which
his reason dictates When the third
phalange is long and the thumb is short
man is revealed as the slave Of the
senses guided neither by will nor reason
If the thumb be supple -j0inted the IN

Te Weddina Ring.

A long time ago the wedding ring was
worn on the f0retinger. and was thickly
studded with precious stones People
who have seen til old pictures of the
Madonna in Rome will remember that in
one or two of them there is a glistening
ring on the forefngcr of her right hand.
bur with Christianity came the wearing
of the wedding ring on the third finger
rather than the first The old story of
there being Il vein that runs from that
finger to the heart, says the Chicago
Tribune. is nonsense. Its use originated
in this way: The priest first put it on
the thumb. saying: "ln the name of the
Father" ON the foretnger, adding. In
the name of the SON; on the second
finger repeating, "ln the name of the
Holy Ghost" and on the third finger,

70 Grow Roses.

One of the secrets Of success in connec-
ton with the growing of roses is 10 make
the beds deep enough. that is, to loosen
the soil to depth sufficient to allow the
roots to penetrate far enough to obtain
the required food and moisture Too much
soil can hardly be provided for roses, for
the plant demands rich food. and its
strength and its bloSsomu& are depend
ent upon the richness of the soil Natural
soil that is inclined to he heavy and has
considerable clay in it is best for roses.
bur it should be well broken up, made
fine and loosened rs already suggested.
The required drainage for the rose bed
may be supplied ny taking out the soil to
a depth of three feet and filing in one
half the space in the hole with stones,
broken bits of brick. crockery, or any
Kind Of rubbish. and then replacing the
soil. This will allow ample drainage for
any surplus water and at the same time
the drainage materials will he SO far he
low the roots of the plants that no moist,
ure needed for them will be drawn off.

A Gallant Thrush.

A young Highlander, having set

open-braded basket, secured the ld VITA
much string and many knots and then
hung the basket upon Il nail near thr

In the afternoon the parish minister
was called iii by the boys mother, who
wished him to persuade her son to SET
the captive free. While the clergyman
was examining the bird through the has

thrush perched on a branch opposite the
window.
