A PERSIAN PARABLE.
The Side OF the World the Pessfmist
Had Not Seen.

| AGQ NOS ScSns
There was certain man who
thought the world w2s growing worse.
He vas always barking back to "the
GOOD old times" and was sure that the
human race was dcgeAerating. Men,
he said, were all trying to cheat one
another, and the strong were crushing
the weak. One day when be was air
Ing his pcssimistic views the calf said
to him:
81 charge you hereafter to look care
fully about you, and whenever you see
sny man do worthy deed go to him
and give him praise or write to him
about it. Whenever you meet a man
whom you regard as worthy to have
lived in the good old days tell him
of your esteem and Of the pleasure you
have had in finding one so exalted,
and l desire that you write out an ac-
count Of these good deeds for me that
may share your joy in knowing Of
lit"
So the man was dismissed. But be-
fore many days he returned and pros
trated himself before the calf. When
ordered to explain his presence, he
walled:
"Iave pity on thy servant, and re-
lease him from the necessity Of COM
plimenting men upon their worthy
Seeds, oh, my master. And, oh, son Of
Mohammed, | pray thee absol7e thy
servant from the duty Of reporting to
thee all the good that is going on in
the world"
"And why. oh. slave, dost thou come
to me with this prayer?" the calf
asked.
Since | have been looking for what
is good" the man replied, 81 have had
no time to do aught but compliment
men for their splendid works. So much
that is glorious is all around me that
l may not hope to be able to tell thee
half of it My tasks lie neglected be-
cause have no time
Go back to thy work." said the
calf. 81 perceive that thou hast
learned"

The Value of a Struggle.

It is curious fact in the history Of
nations that only those which have had
to struggle the hardest for an exist
ence have been highly successful. as
q rule the same thing is true Of men.
One would think that it would be
great relief to have the bread and but
ter problem solved by ones ancestors
so that one might devote all his ener-
gies and time to the Development Of
the mental and spiritual faculties. But
this is contrary to the verdict Of his
tory and the daily experience Of the
world. The strugglers, those born to a
heritage of poverty and toll and not
those reared in the lap Of fortune,
have, with a few exceptions, been the
leaders Of civilization, the giants Of
the race.-Success.

Right and Left Cigars.

It is not always because a cigar is
badly made that the wrapper curls up
and works of, says the Tobacco Work
er. 1t is often because right handed
man is smoking a left handed cigar. \
cleft handed cigar" is one rolled by the
makers left hand, for all cigar makers
must be ambidextrous. A piece Of to-
bacco for the wrapper is cut on the
bias and is rolled from left to right on
the filler. The other piece for reasons
Of economy is then used and must be
rolled the opposite way by the opera
tors other hand, Hence a smoker who
holds cigar in his right hand, some
times twisting it about, rubs the wrap
per the wrong way and loosens it

Willing to Comnromise.

\ story Of the Colombian idea of tax
alton is told by Il traveller who recently
visited that South American country.
Some American friends Of mine,"
said the traveller, were visited by the
city officials Of Colon.

A String TO It.

Bridget and Norah Murphy, fresh
from Ellis island, had set out to make
their return calls" on their cousins,
the McGooligans, at service in an aris-
tocratic part Of the city. Upon arriV-
ing at the house, instead Of being con-
fronted by the usual bell knob, nothing
but stingy, mean apology Of a knob
in the shape Of little black button
met them. Bridget got hold Of the but
ton and gave it pull, but her fingers
slipped before there swas any audible
ring from within. Again and again she
tried with the same result until she
turned the job over to "Nonie." Then
the latter yanked and twisted without
success, until both stood on the land
ing gazing helplessly at each other.
Then light came unto Bridget.
I'll tell you phwat it is" she said.

hostess asked Matthew Arnold from
behind the breakfast urn.
Neither" he replied. 81 only take
cream when the coffee is nasty"
The feelings Of the hostess may be
imagined after this statement to have
her guest taste the beverage and di-
rect the waitress to bring him sugar
ard cream.

AMERICAN SOCIETY.
Its Basis, Whether We DeDlore or
Ignore Il, Is Wealth.

Ignore II, Is " enlth.
american society,"" says Ainslces,
"has been definitely established upon
a monetary basis. We may depiore the
fact, or we may ignore it, but it IS
fact, and it is very much the wisest
thing to admit it with dispassionate
frankness. For if we assume our social
standards and conditions to be differ
ent from what they really are, how
are we going to study them and under
stand them and get at their philoso-
ply? From the point Of view Of sci
entilic observer, the classification Of
everybody and everything according to
financial principle Of division, is a
good thing, for it greatly simplifies
the whole subject.
Formerly there was no classification
of any kind. American life was a
chaos, socially, full Of all sorts Of
anomalies and incongruities. Every
section Of the country had its own
standard Of distinction, and this stand
ard was recognized and respected no.
where else Thus in New England lit
erary, scholastic or theological enai-
nence was held to confer a certain
cachet upon those who had obtained it..
In the microcosm Of which Philadel-
phia used to be the center ancestry
counted most of all. This was also true
to some extent Of the south, yet there,
as in the west, political prominence
carried with it social leadership. New
york-always more or less impossible
to formulate-was q place where there
existed social wheels within wheels
and social planesthat never touched;
though, on the whole, perhaps the COM
bination Of ancestry and money meant
in those days what money alone means
at the present time"

indeed in physical power who can af-

DOMESTIC PHILOSOPHY.
(From the Philadelphia BulletinD

A woman likes TO be considered
competent TO give advice to a man.
The man who gives way to temper
only adds wrinkles TO his face.
A woman's ways are so essentially
her own that no man envles her the
possession.
The man who coddles a sorrow gives
strength to an ungracious companion.
A man who keeps his own counsel
rarely has to search for fine phrases
for apologies.
The woman who knows a great deal
likes to take others into her conf
dence.
When man makes a mistake he
usually looks about for the fellow who
as to blame therefor
Men of limited ideas often are men
of unlimited pretensions
