The Common Fron.

If a traveller were to announce that he had discovered in some remote part of the globe an animal whose tongue was rooted in the front of its mouth, the tip pointing down the throat, and, further, that the creatures manner of breathing was so peculiar that the sur est way of suffocating it was to keep its mouth fixed open, there would be some little curiosity about the "fnd." If the discoverer went on to say that the creature began existence as fish, breathing by means of gills and hay ing heart of only two chambers, but had undergone transformation, discard ing gills and gradually acquiring lungs, adding a third chamber to its heart, and so in the truest and most literal sense passing from the order of fishes to the order of reptiles, the public might even become excited about this extraordinary animal-until 1t came out that 1t was no other thanatlA common or garden f1g. Then probably 19 per sons out of 20 would instantly cease to take any interest in tie subject. if they did not feel some resentment against the man who had contrived to draw their attention for time to such a common reptile.

The Gain I'm Going Through College.
 The benefit that man who cares for college education gets by going to college is benefit that is already his at the time he graduates. During the four years or three years which he spent at college he made himself richer man for life. The world Is larger, more varied, more interesting place for him. His life will be a broader, more liberal, more satisfying life than it would have been had he not spent few of his best years in contact with the results of high thought and in the daily performance ot invigorating intellectual tasks. The ups and downs of the Stock Exchange cannot take away from him what he has thus stored up, nor could the best gifts of the money god have enabled him to purchase, after years spent i'll relentless pursuit of dollars, that which in the golden days of early manhood he had made his own in the quiet col lege halls.-Baltimore News.

A Cur0iMg Contest.

A professor of languages some years ago on returning from India remarked upon the paucity of objectionable phrases among the British working classes when compared with the abun- dance supplied by the orientals of sim- liar rank. To prove this he gives a case which came under his own notice. He had dismissed manservant for dishonesty, and the next morning at 6 o'clock he sought an interview with his former master. He fourished a carv- ing knife, with which he plainly in- tended to emphasize his remarks. When he found it impossible to gain admission, he sat under the window, and the swearing" process began. He s7rsed the professor along the gene illogical tree back to the first ancestor of his race. Then he dwelt upon every detail of his anatomy, from the top of his head to the end of his toes. 'For three consecutive hours he sat there and swore," says the professor, with out once repeating phrase"
 While travelling on the underground railway in London party of working men entered the same compartment and interspersed4 their remarks with the commonest forms of Swearing" The professor politely asked them to desist, whereupon heswas told to mind his own - business. He at once com fmenced to translate into English some specimens of eastern oaths which he had heard Calcutta merchants serv- ant use to missionary's servant. The men sidled from him as if he had the plague and at the next station sought another compartment.-Liver Post.
