Wbu I Am a KNIGHT Of Puthias.

General Joseph II. Lyon, former
ly Pythiln Supreme Representa-
tive from Kansas. in responding to
the ques ion, "Why am knight
Of Pythia-?" recently gave the fol-
lowing characteristic reply. He was
Knight Of Pythias because he
found good companionship, loyal
friends, congenia! work, but more
than all else, because il gave him a
chance 20 do something for humanity.
He thought be was doing the work
Of the Master. As he understood
j., Pythianism meant the upbuilding
of character, the development Of the
best traits Of the heart and mind.
the fostering Of noble impulses, the
dissemination Of charity, the love Of
country and home. All this made
men better, and be was proud TO be
engaged in a work Of that kind

Patient Follows Doctors Directions 10 the Letter, But Does Not

A Macclesfeld man was in a very bad way of health. After much anxious thought he determined to consult doctor, relates Lon don Tit-Bits.
 The latter, after most minute exam nation, pronounced the patient to be sui ,ering from a severe form of dyspepsia, anc prescribed for him accordingly He was very particular in giving full directions as to diet.
 A light breakfast-cup of cocoa, dried toast, and other simple fare; plain dinner chop, no potatoes, glass of claret; and only one cigar per day. He was most care ful to impress the fact upon the patients mind that the one cigar should never be ex ceeded.
 The patient went away and returned in q week worse than ever. The doctor was nonplussed.
 Upon inquiries he found that the man had most faithfully carried out all his in structions to the letter
 "I know what it is, replied the man of medicine You've had more than one cigar day. It's the smoking that's done it"
 'Yes; I know that, doctor. It is the smoking; but I've only had one cigar al a time, and that was quite enough, for never smoked in my life until you tol, me to-"

Literature ms II Trade

To write successfully means to serve long and hard apprenticeship; it means to do many things badly in or der to learn to do few things well; to read many authors, and good ones; to live with words till one knows their value, and it means, too, that one must know something about the reality of life. In short, writing is trade, just like bookbinding or type-setting. It is different. of course; it has a higher side, we believe, but to think only of the higher side, and ignore the trade part of it, is to prepare ones self for a great disappointment. Decidedly the novice should not expect to earn pin money by setting down her day dreams, when successful authors are obliged to slog daytime and night time in order to learn the mechanics of the art.-Woman's Home Com panion,

WALKING AS A PLEASURE.
One Thnt Is More Enjoyed by English women Than by Their Amer
 ican Sisters.

The fondness of the English people Tor walking is cause for comment by every American tourist in "the tight little isle," and they cannot avoid not ing the contrast between English and American women in this respect. An observant American lady in discussing the subject notes the fact that English girls speak of walk as a pleasure and notice all kinds of interesting things by the way, To this she attributes the absence of nervous, tired expressions from their faces.
 The natural corollary to this is that American women might proftably follow the example of their cousins, which is probably true. It would un- doubtedly be good thing if every woman and girl in this country could walk five or ten miles without over- weariness when in a normal condition of health, and there is not much doubt that most of them could be trained to do 1t if the conditions and climate were favorable. This has been proved in the women's colleges, where walk ing happens to be fashionable. There is no woman's college where the ma jority of the girls are not fairly good walkers, and where some of them can not keep it up all day without fatigue.
 But there are a good many difficult ties in the way of the American girl when she undertakes to exercise. If she lives in town she must travel a considerable stance to get to point where there is. anything amusing in walking, and then she runs the risk of meeting undesirable characters. The girl herself may not be much afraid of tramps, but her family usually raise objections, and it is the. exceptional girl who can always command com panion in her rambles. In short, this country is in the half-settled condi- tion, materially and socially, in which 1t is not as convenient for the average woman to take long walks as it is in | the country districts of England.
