Once in a great while a youth is
found with a morbid desire to hoard.
Personally we have known but few
such, but in them the habit grew
until they became notorious for
meanness, says q writer in the
Christian Advocate. A story is told
of a celebrated bishop, who grew
so mean that one day when he cut
his finger with penknife and no
court-plaster could be found. a cler-
gyman standing by brought out his
card case and took from it a five
cent stamp and gave it to the bishop
to use to stop the flow of blood.
The bishop accepted it gratefully,
placed the fve-cent stamp in his
own cardcase, and then took out a
one-cent stamp and pasted it over
the still bleeding wound. This
seems almost too much to believe.
But a celebrated minister in New
England was offered a hat by hat
ter who was a friend of his, and
who admired him in most respects.
He asked him if he had another
kind eyes," he said, though not
quite so good as that" He said
he would like to see one. and asked
what the price of the first one was,
and was told five dollars, and of the
second three dollars. "Well," said
he, "as you offered me the first one
if 1 should take the second, would
you give me the difference il
money?s A young person should
not be a spendthrift, neither should
he be stingy.

which has an attractive appearance
from all sides. The plans show com
pact arrangement, while convenience
has been the first consideration in the
designing. Success in this, combined
with a neat, well-proportioned ex-
terror, gives US a combination which
goes to make it attractive to all, and
suitable for erection anywhere. For
a person of moderate means wishing
a pleasant home, with the interior
comforts and conveniences it contains,
we can with confidence recommend
this design. 1t is quite modern and
contains a fair share of the modern
conveniences.

SUCCESS.

AT the foot of the Hill OF Endeavor,
o Young One, look upward and see
The shine of the prize
That daZZles your eyes
Win the CLEAN of the glory to be.
Far up in the clouds like beacon.
Its luster illumines the world;
And you start on your way
AT the dawn of the day
With the flag of your purpose unfurled.
Youth, Hope and Ambition attend you,
And the line of your march is bestrewn
With the roses that bring
You the fragrance of Spring,
While the fuilness of earth seems your
own.
Up the sleeps of the Hill of Endeavor
You battle and toll and keep on
For the glittering prize
That daZzles your eyes
At eve as 1t did at the dawn.
Its brilliance is always before you
To tighten the -arduous way
That leads to success,
Through struggle and stress,
And crown you with laurel and bay.
At the top of the Hill of Endeavor.
Old One, look downward and call
To the brave and the true
Who are following you
God speed and good cheer to them all.

only a Few of Them Leo.

A few individuals of the white
rhinoceros are to be found in Natal
and ZululanSl, but their number is
very small; it is supposed that not
more than 20 of these animals exist
in the world. Not long ago band OF
five was seen by a party among
whom was the governor of Natal.
The group was composed of four
adults, among which was a powerful
male and an individual of three
quarters growth. On the same day
were seen group of three others of
the same species. The white rhinoc-
eros is protected as strictly as pos
sible, and it is forbidden to hunt it
under a penalty of $3.50 to $500, or
imprisonment; the governor himself
cannot give permission to kill them.
1t seems likely that the species will
before long become extinct.

impossible to remain at Falconhurst,
for-could she help it?-she had
learned to care for Leslie, who, in
spite IF the humble position that she
had taken up, had always treated her
with as much Difference and courtesy
as he did his mothers guests.
''Vera, you shall not go!" he cried,
striding after her and taking her
hands. MY darling, do you think
that I would let you leave me like
this? Little one, don't you know how
I have learned to love you?'
But one look at her face was
enough for him to know that she
loved him even as he loved her.
"But your mother-what will she
say?"
my dearest, have you not just now
told me who you really are? Had
met you before your aunt's circum-
stances changed my mother would
gladly have welcomed you as her
daughter, so why should she not well
come you now?"
When, an hour later, Mrs. FalconeF
came into the library her consterna'
ton can be imagined on seeing the
position of her son and housemaid.
"Lesliei" she exclaimed.
'sHush, mother, and let ne explain.
Vera has promised to be my wife"
''Your wife? You to marry "a
But he held up his hand.
"Can you not see that Vera is not
what she has pretended 70 be? She is
just as well born as we are. She is
Col. Wynston's daughter"
"You, the daughter of Col. Wyns-
ton, of WINSTON towers? Incredi-
blei".
s'It is true!' said Vera.
So Vera's venture ended happily
for her; and her husband is wont to
say that he viii ever be thankful that
she acted as she did. for it brought
him the happiness of his life.-For-

siIence Gnfden.

Though very fond of stories, and
an excellent raconteur himself, Ru-
binstein was rather taciturn. Once,
it is reported, a Scotch friend of his,
whom he liked very much, went
home with him one night after a
concert at Glasgow.
Roth gentlemen sat down to tea
and cigarettes, and as midnight
struck they had not yet exchanged
word. Finally the guest risked a
bold and novel query: do you like
Beethoven"
Rubinstein emptied his cup and
said, softly: Beethoven good"
Half an hour later came another
question: "And how do you like
Wagner"
To which Rubinstein, throwing
away a cigarette, said: Wagner
not good.'
Having exhausted his stock of in
quisitiveness. the Scotch friend Of
the Russian pianist got up to bid
his host a pleasant rest.
s'Stay yet. my FRIEND" said Rubin
stein; 81 like your conversation
very much"
And both remained still drinking
tea and smoking cigarettes in pro-
found silence until three q. m.
struck, when they wished one aa-
other good night and parted.-Lon.

rooms. The dimensions of the house
are 37X55 feet over all. The height
of first story is 9K feet, and the Sec
ond story S1s feet. The outside walls
are sheathed and papered, and fin
ished with half-inch siding. Painting
and plastering are three-coat work.
The house is trimmed in natural fin
ished woods; cypress for first story
and pine for second story. The house
is of best construction, using only
good material and workmanship. The
house is arranged to be heated by fur
mace, and would cost from $4,000 to
2,2o0 in most localities.

ART IN ARCHITECTURE
Designed and Written Especially for Ttl. Paper

There is a cellar under the whole
house. The foundation walls are of
stone and above the foundation the
building is of wood. In the first
story are handsome porches which
well protect the entrances. From the
front porch you pass through the yes
tibule into either parlor or sitting
room, thence into the dining-room.
The principal rooms on the first floor
are connected by wide sliding doors,
enabling them to be thrown together
on occasion. The parlor and sitting
room have beautiful bay corners,
which add to the cheerfulness of the

Lard DirisIon In Chinn.

Agricultural land in China is di-
vlded into three classes, each class
paying a different rate. First-class
lands are in fertile valleys, with a
good depth of soil and a good water
supply. producing annually two crops
Of rice or one cop of sugar cane
Second-class lands are generally stu
ated higher up the slopes of hills and
have not such a good water supply as
the first class. The third-class lands
are those situated on still higher
slopes an are far removed from a
good water supply.

New Rand Fire pistol.

The United States board of ord
nance and Notifications has recon-
mended that $4,000 be allotted for
the purchase of 1000 of the automat-
ic pistols which recently made such
a wonderful record in the tests at
Springfield armory. The sum aliot-
ted is sufficient to furnish five of
these pistols to each troop of cav
airy in the service. At the recent
tests of the pistol 80 shots were fired
in about 151s seconds, rate of fire
of 116 shots minute. This is dou-
bic the rate obtained from any other
automatic pistol.

finement is best secured in simplicity
of treatment and the use of delicate

limited, it is better to concentrate our
efforts upon a handsome front door

Choice of Tourtng ComnanIona.

The czhilaration and enjoyment of

qualities are very largely dependent
upon one important point-the choice
of companions for the trip. If the

"Great Scott! Is It possib1ef
Housemaid or not, though, she is .
lady, am sure. And what nice face
she has-not only pretty, but full of
character. I wonder what has made
her do it?''
Leslie sauntered on to sthe house,
but all through the evening he could
not get the pretty house1naid out of
his mind.
Vera went back to her work on en-
tering the house, very much annoyed
with herself.
81 had no right to have forgotten,
even for an/instant, the position that
1 occupy here. And yet it was so
pleasant to chat to him. she unused.
''It seemed like old times. All! shall
I ever have friends again?''
The next day, as Leslie sat half
asleep in a chair in the library, he
heard someone moving about the
room, and, turning round, he saw the
| girl who had chatted so pleasantly to
him the day before standing by one
of the booksheives. She had been
sent to dust the books, and on seeing
him in the armchair she had entered
SO softly. hoping to finish her work
before he awoke, that he had not
/ heard her before.
''She does look nice in that cap and
apron" he thought, and yet-he could
not tell why-it gave him an uncom-
Portable feeling to see her in them.
GOOD morning, Miss" And he
waited for her to supply the name.
Good morning." she said, not
noticing the fact that he evidently
wanted to know her name. ''He must
suspect that am not what appear
to be- she thought.
! ''Have you read that?" he asked,
pointing to the book in her hand.
Il have" she answered, but so
stiffly that he resumed his seat and
/ said no more.
'She evidently does not wish me to
speak to her, he thought, $50 that,
unless 1 want to be cad. must not
notice her any more than I would an
just now, though. Fancy my being
snubbed by housemaid!"
But somehow it always happened
that the owner of Falconhurst want
ed something about the library just
at the time the new housemaid went
on to attend to her duties.
At first he told himself that he only
wanted to befriend her, as she seemed
| SO lonely, and then he thought that
he would try and get her something
better to do, ''for her position must
be intolerable," he thought. But as
| the weeks went on he knew that it
was not friendship that made him
seek Vera's society.
And she, what did she feel? At first
she was very coy, not answering any
monosylla bles, and never, if she
could help it, keeping up any CONVEX
sation with him.
But after time she became less
reserved, and grew to look on him as
a friend, even acknowledging to him
/ that she was a lady, but asking him
to keep her secret.
But he thought, 81 must not be
too friendly, for it hardly seems the
thing for the master of Falconhurst
to make a friend of his mothers
housemaid."
81 leave to-day, Mr.. Falconer.
Good-by!"
Leave to-day? Why are you go-
ing?"
"For several reasons. You have
been very good to me; thank you for
it,"
She turned to go. They were in the
library. She had just finished her
work, and so babe him good-by be-
fore she left the room. She found it
