received that of a bow from Brig--Gen.
Lacy" She comments further on that
day being almost adventureless.'
A gay young blade from Virginia,
Alexander Spotswood cambridge, asks
her to marry him on exceedingly short
acquaintance, she thinks, although she
hastens to explain, had we been &C
quainted seven years we would not
have been more sociable. The moon
gave a sadly pleasing light" What a
wonderfully complete picture of socia-
bility that entry suggests!
She tells of the pranks she and her
girl friends played ON a certain Mr..
Tilly, "a wild. noisy mortal" who ap-
pears -bashful when with girls and
who talks so excessively fast that he
often begins sentence without fin
ishing the last. which confuses him
very much, and then he bushes and
laughs" Mr.. Tilly plays two tunes on
the German flute and he is unmerci-
fully jeered about his brilliant musical
talent.
A Joke on lilly.
lilly was something of a braggart,
it seems, and the merry company de-
cided to have some fun with him, SO
they fitted up the figure of a British
grenadier and stood it at the door of
the house. While they were chatting
in the gloom of one of the rooms one
December night knock came at the
door. The servant came in with the
message that they were all wanted
outside. Tilly was the first one out
and he banged into the grenadier. At
the same moment a laundering voice
called out: Are there any rebel Of
ficerS here?"
Not waiting for a second word, he
darted like lightning out of the front
door, through the yard, boited over
the fence. Swamps, fences, thorn
hedges and plowed fields no way i'm
peded his retreat" At last they found
lilly and explained the joke to him.
He was induced to come back, and
when he rejo.ned the group he solemn
ly faced the company and remarked:
You may all go to the d-l!" Sally

A STATISTICAL ocToRooN.
a Composite American Finds Himself
Under This Classification.

Under This classification.
The average adult American is
statistical octoroOn. If the blood in
the veins of all our people, white and
black. were pooled and redistributed
each person would have about seven
parts white and one part negro blood
The white strain in him, moreover, is
by no means purely American. White
strains of foreign origin, derived from
Germany. Ireland, Scandinavia, Can
ada. Great Britain, and the countries
of Southern Europe, are collectively
more powerful in his composition
than is the negro strain. Thus going
back only one generation, We find
him to be a composite, the creation of
widely differing bloods and nationali-
ties. The peoples of the earth from
the Congo under the equator to the
North Cape of Europe, have contr1but-
ed. either Immediately or remotely, to
his composition But with it all we
find the Anglo-Saxon strain the domi-
nant one His political institutions,
his laws, his social conditions, and
his mental characteristics, his power
of initiative and his independence of
thought and action are Anglo-Saxon,
sharpened and intensified by fresh
contact with nature under new and
untried conditions. 1t is a strange
and gratifying thing to witness, in
connection with this mixture of blood,
the complete dominance of the Anglo
Saxon strain, and it argues well for
it's strength and vitality, as well as
for the welfare OF the country which
he occupies and governs.-Evsrybo dy's

HABIT IS POWERFUL

I'm Training Children Prevention Il
Much Better Than Cure.
= Habit is one of the strongest forces
OF the world. Not like dynamite or a
big cannon ball, or a steam engine
it requires a man to start on such a
force as either of these mentioned
yet if that same man had the habit
of smoking he would find it very
difficult matter indeed to simply drop
It short OF, and never do 1t again.
So in the end it is an economy of
mind to train children in habits such
as will be &C value to them through
life. One of the mistakes made by
mothers in training their children is il
supposing that careful habits can be
cultivated io careless surroundings
A ragged Or soiled carpet SO little
valued that a grease or ink spot may
fall and be left upon it without caus-
ing comment. may become moral
calamity. A child who is made to eat
it's food carefully, in a room where the
furnishings are respected even If ex-
treme1y plain, where careleSsness is
followed by penalty, naturally &C
quires careful manners, while tying
the child up in a bib and allowing it
to spill its food, or be careless in eat
ing, soiling the cloth, or its hands, is
responsible for bad table habits in the
men and women whom we meet A
child is quick to initiate. If the moth
er is worried by the soiled cloth or a
spot, and takes the trouble to clean 1t
up, to keep the furnishings of the room
neat, to spend some time in setting the
table carefully and keeping the room
in order. she saves time otherwise
spent in repairing damages and cor
recting the child. The ounce OF pre-
vention is worth seven pounds of cure
in the training of children, and 1t IS a
pity when it is not administered in the
small doses needed by children, and
not in the radical doses necessary to
overcome neglect in matters that are
never minor, for manner and habit
speak for much in man. Truly man
may be moral and eat with his knlfe
put he would be a more valuable man
in the community if he recognized the
uses for which the knife was deslg-
mated and applied it only to those uses
And so with many other habits and
manners that prove such trials to men
and women of today, and which m1gh'
have been avoided ii in their childhood
the thoroughness in training had peer
appreciated.

An old nanny who had known

Another .Ananias.

There were crowd of calamity
howlers gathered in a hotel rotunda
during the great drouth of the past
month, and each was telling the other
that all the crops would be burned up
and everybody would starve to death.
An old man, who has the reputation of
being a man who can always tell a
story better than the one just told, put
in his voice and said that the present
drouth was nothing to the one they
had when he was a boy in ''Car'liny-"
They all listened carefully to his won
derful story of how so many people
starved to death. and how when they
cut their bodies open they found that
they had actually eaten grass before
they died. He told the story through
without interruption, but as soon as
he finished one of his listeners asked
But why did they cut open their
bodies?" That was a poser for the
old man. but after splitting reflective
ly at spot on the wall, he said:
why, to see what they starved tc
death on, of course" Then he won
dered what they all wanted him to buy
the drinks for.

Williams mind, by this time, was
clear as to the presence of burglars,
but he was not sure that it would be
sensible for him to go down among

she sat by a courtly old general. and
after eating some fruit the little girl
turned and gazed up at him Presently
she exclaimed:
II wonder you're not afraid to sit
next to me-
Everybody in the room turned at the
sound of the childish treble.
.'On the contrary, / am but too

the little queen replied: Because all
