Gives Away Nickels.

A shopkeeper is this year calling the
attention of customers and those he
desires as such to his wares by novel
method. The person to whom it is
addressed receives by mail a well filled
envelope, with no external markings
to indicate it's contents, but up in the
left hand corner of the envelope are
printed the words: 1.-The five cents
is inside
The appearance of the envelope, to-
gether with the notice, is calculated to
induce curiosity at once. The state
ment that the five cents is inside is
true, for, on opening the letter, a bright
rev nickel of 1902 date is found tucked
away between the middle pages Of a
pamphlet. -ss.tsss ,'ssss4 ...ss.j,.:ss4s...
The explanation given in the pamph-
let is that the sender is not stealer
Of other peoples time, and that as it
was calculated that the recipient would
use up five cents worth Of his own
tine in reading the shopkeeper's story
the latter had decided to be honest and
pay for the time used or purchased
as he puts it, and he therefore inclosed
a nickel in payment.
Whether the meth cd pays the shop
keeper is not yet settled question

Cheerful Living.

Cheerful living is matter for every days
experience 1t is not series of lightning
flashes, each succeeded by a gloom of dark;
it is steady glow such as the lamp con-
tinually fed and tended makes because it
is lamp. Il is and must be ever in this
troubled life the great attractive quality
for disappointed and despairing men. To
proclaim lChrist's invitation with good
words is much, but to be ourselves
Christ's invitation by life of constant
cheerfulness is at once the noblest and the
commonest of all earth's opportunities.
Since cheerful living is light, the time of
darkness is it's opportunity of shining. To
be happy in life,s happy days is as easy
as breathing: The opportunity of help
comes in with trouble, sorrow, loss. And
it comes most perhaps with petty troubles,
cares, anxieties, vexations. To be cheerful,
when it is easy to be vexed or sad, is to
win victory for Christ and hold a light
for men. One lamp in the city's glow
counts little. but how men in the darkness
of the wood follow one lamp that shows
the way toward home and peace!-Congre-
gatiOnalist

Let the Master Enter.

There is an interesting legend of strange
instrument, which hung on an old castle
wall. No one knew its USE It's strings
were broken and covered with dust. Those
who saw it wondered what it was, and how
it had been used. Then, one day, stran-
ger came to the castle gate and entered
the hall. His eye saw the dark object on
the wall, and taking it dQyn, be rsleysntly
derby reset its broken strings. Then chords
long silent woke beneath his touch, and
all hearts were strangely thrilled as he
played. 1t was the master, long absent,
who had returned to his own
Some one, commenting on this legendary
incident, says: I'm every human soul
there hangs a marvellous harp, dust COW
cred, with strings broken, while yet the
Masters hand has not found it. Open
your heart every morning to Christ Let
Him enter and repair the strings which
sin has broken, and sweep them with His
skilful fingers, and you will go out to
sing, through all the day. Only when the
song of Gods love is singing in our hearts
are we ready for the day."

Tickle Leave Mans Romance.

Ambrose Winterton, ticket-of-
leave man, has been charged before the
Torquay magistrates with failing to re-
port himself to the police. The prison
er told the bench romantic story. 1t
was because he wanted to bury the
past and lead an upright life that he
had not reported himself. Confine-
ment in prison had seriously affected
his health, and on his discharge on
license he was ordered to the south
Of France to regain his health. He,
however, found that the French eli
mate did not agree with him, and he
decided to return to England. On the
way home he met a young woman of
means. They soon became on very
friendly terms, and eventually they
were married. Being anxious that his
wife should not learn anything of his
previous career, he decided to settle in
TOrQuay, believing the vigilance of the
police would not penetrate so far. Mrs.
Winterton, however, noticed that her
husband was sometimes depressed and
came to the conclusion that something
was weighing on his mind She ques-
toned him on the subject, and a
month later he confessed he was a
ticket-of-leave man. The bench now
sent him to prison for month.-Lon-

SIX TABLES IN ONE.
Novel Piece Of Furniture Designed for
Harvard Astronom cal Ohsorvotorv

Novel Piece of Furniture Designed for
harvard Astronomical Observatory.
one OF the first results of the recent
anonymous gift Of $4,000 made to the
Harvard astronomical observatory is a
new study table for the directors Of
nee. The table is probably unique
among study tables the world over. It
was worked out by Prof. Pickering
and Mr.. w. P. Gerrish, also of the
observatory, and is practically six sep
arate tables of ordinary size, each pro.
vlded with it's own bookcase. But in
stead OF having to move around from
table to table, and from shelf to shelf,
tables and book shelves move around
to whoever is using them. These
tables are Joined to make one big cir
cular table which revolves horizontally
on an axis so that each section can be
brought easily within working distance
OF a stationary Office chair. The book
case, situated in the centre of the table,
revolves independently, SO that any
DOCK may be brought within reach
without disturbing the table itself.
~ AAieSAAA dAlO VI lQC CdU1G proper,
the part used as a writing desk and
covered with the materials of the vari-
Gus subjects which are constantly tax
ing up the directors personal attention,
rises from floor to ceiling and turns
slowly around as one section after an
other passes IN review before the sta
tionary chair in which the director is
seated. Above this table and in the
centre of it is the special library con-
tanning all the books and pamphlets
likely to be needed in the days work.
But there are really six little libraries,
and between each Of them another
smaller triangular compartment for
pens, ink, mucilage, letter scales, pa
per weights, and all the other things
that accumulate on an ordinary desk.
Each section is about four feet long
by two deep, and in addition has two
good-sized drawers for stationary,
stamps, envelopes, measuring charts.
diagrams, photograph slides, and the
other paraphernalia Of modern as
stronomy. One section is, therefore,
for scientific correspondence. Two
sections are devoted to photometry-
the constant record of the light or
brightness of the stars. Another sec
ton is for studying and comparing the
records of the thousands of spectre
scopic photographs yearly taken by the
observatory instruments. Another is
devoted to the proof sheets of the OBJ
servatory annals, bulletins, and cata-
logues. The new revolving table is
thus very like the whole observatory
/, in miniature. In fact, every bit of
scientific information that goes out
from the observatory will ride round
and round upon it in process of being
digested.-New York Times.

Liking What You Have.

It is not always easy to be content with
ones surroundings or possessions; nor is it
always necessary. To be content with such
things as we have is not intended to make
us lazy and Indifferent to the things we
ought to strive for, but to keep us peaceful
in the place God has evidently placed us.
Much unhappiness is caused by fretful
discomfort, which is condition of mind
different from noble discomfort that seeks
to rise higher and grow stronger both in
manhood and possessions the sake of
better service But there is a wholesome
bit Of philosophy which may serve us in
the hour of foolish longing after things
clearly impossible to us: IF you haven t
what you like, try to like what you have =
you like" and it is also the secret Of con-
tentment.-Angelus.

to eat his egg quickly, so he could take

fore another boarder, who he thought

it. He was small boy, much given
to using large words at random. The
egg still remained in the dish when he
was really to eat it, so, looking across
the table, he remarked apprehensively:

The other boarder smilingly replied.
