WISE WORDS.

Pride Is Truths greatest foe.
Let us seek to disprove the worth
lessness Of worth"
One who can hold himself In abey-
ance Is often the stronger.
Men who marry for money often
find that the currency Is inflated.
Women are more charming after
marriage If men are more consider
ate.
There Is more music in the prattle
Of a child than in the cllnk Of q
glass.
None are blamable for hereditary
sins unless they assiduously cultivate
them.
We have soul as we'll as body
and they are to be strengthened by
exercise.
For the one who will not, there is
nothing; for the one who will, there
are all things.
The man who complains because his
wife is aging, should compare birth
days with her.
Not by friction, but by harmonious
relation are wrinkles smoothed out of
the front Of Time.

OF the Illinois metropolis might at

This fear, it may be said, was ex.

shared by the Prince himself, who has
never been known to entertain any
doubt Of his personal safety under any
circumstances.
The most important of the Princes
decorations Is the Cross of Distin

his Emperor brother, for unusual
bravery and self-possession. His per.
sonal valor and hardihood are illus

Once when he was the watch keep.

lying anchored In northern waters. the
Prince gave orders for all hands to
battle. The weather was chilly and the
officer remarked to the Prince that the
water was unbearably cold, and that

Without word, Prince Henry, who
was on the bridge, sprang into the sea,

There was no reply, and the order was

Danger From Postage Stamps.

The Londan Lancet has an article
in regard to the danger Of mOistening
postage stamps with the lips OF
tongue. 1t says that, when one con-
sdcrs how postage stamps are handled
and how they are left lying about in
all sorts Of places, there must always
be danger Of infection from septic
matter, so long as the habit Of licking
them is persisted in. The Lancet claims
that cases of blood poisoning have
been directly traced to this practice
and the fact, therefore, that the postal
authorities do all in their power to
protect the public by the materials used
in the stamps does not do away with
one Of the greatest sources Of dangers
to those who insist on moistening
stamps with their tongues
