Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself.
Till by broad spreading it dispense TO naught.
To toll for it is to toll for shadows instead or
substance, the glitterng aurora rather than the
comforting hearth fire.
And yet there are men and entire races THAI
are intoxicated with this passion. 1t has often
been noted how often the word glory appears
in the martial orders OF Napoleon. and how
often the word duty IS to be found in the
public messages of Wellington. The words are
Characteristic OF their respective nations. 1t is
not accidental that the most effective watch
word in the history Of France is: From yon-
der pyramids twenty centuries look down upon
you,' and in the history Of Britain: England
expects every man to DO his duty"
Honor among men is alluring goal. At
first it seems to point the way to all excellence,
for must we not become worthy in order to win
renown? Alas no. Many famous man upon
whom the world heaps its laurel wreaths is
stained with blood. foul with lust. or rotten
with hypocrisies. 1t is far from necessary 10

as courageous Paul in order to become

or a list Of last century's kings, OF the songs

and If they not they are in a very

~ honor is to be lightly esteemed because it so
often units for the honor that endures. The
standards of earth are not the standards Of
heaven. II a man desired service in the State

but such folly would be wisdom compared with
the absurdity of following worldly ideals when
to leave the world.
A noble fame is preached by this
poem of John Vance Cheneys:

Better the lowly deed were done,
And kept the humble way.
The rust will find the sword OF fame
The dust will hide the crown;
Aye. shall nail high his name
Time viii not tear it down.
The happiest heart that ever beat
Was in some quiet breast
That found the common daylight sweet,
And left to heaven the rest.
That is it-Ieave it with God, and if He sends

Separate Beds.

New York Evening Sun.
The fashion of separate beds for each
member of a hOusehOld-for fashion it is
in a measures decidedly on the increase,
both in England and in this country. Upon
the continent, sleeping separately has been
in vogue for so long that IL is rare to find a
hotel sleeping apartment with a double
bed-twO single beds are almost always
the rule. In a private family a separate
bed for each member means more trouble
and very much more laundry work, but
the habit more than makes up for these
things in health and comfort. In the nur-
Sery. each child TO a bed is a cardinal point
in the newest doctrines. The old practice
of our grandmOthers' times of slowing
away a least four children-twO at the
head and two at the tOOt-tO a trundle bed
would now be looked upon with nothing
short of holy horror. No household that
has ever tried sleeping separately was ever
known TO return to the Old-fashioned way.
