Rule BY Which to Rise.

Find your purpose and fling your
life out to it. Try to be somebody
with all your might.
What is put into the first of life is
put into the whole of life. Start
right. The first thing you should do,
if you have not done it, is to fall in
love with your work.
Don't brood over the past nor
dream of the future: but seize the in
slant and get your lesson from the
hour.
Necessity is the priceless spur.
Give youth resolution and the al
phabet, and who shall place limits to
his career?
Don't wait for extraordinary OPP
portunities; seize common occasions
and make them great. A great OPP
portunity will only make you ridicu-
lous unless you are prepared for it.
The lucky man is the man who sees
and grasps his opportunity.

Writing Up His Diary.

He was only little boy, and this
was his first diary. 1t had been given
him as birthday present, and was
bound in a red cover with highly
colored picture adjoining the front.
He meant to begin we'll and early,
so he carefully wrote, "Got up at
seven" Then, according to instruc-
tions, he took it to his governess for
approval. The way her eyes dilated
and her mouth opened made him feel
uncomfortable, and he wondered
whether anyone had been tampering
with his literary production.
"Got up!" she screamed; "got up!
You naughty boy! Does the sun get
up? No! it rises"
Very neatly she scratched out the
barbarous words and made him write,
"Rose at seven" This settled Master
Tom; no more mistakes of this kind
for him again!
So on retiring for the night he wrote,
with the air of a man who knew his
business we'll, "Set at eight"

ErandmOther's RemedY.

"Girls don't have to do anything!"
declared Bobby, as he sat down with
a thump on the shoe box in grand
mothers room. "Girls don't have to
feed hens or fill the wood-box! |
wish 1 was girl, so 1 do"
"Girls don't have to do anything"
exclaimed Grandma Stone, in surprise.
"Well, we'll, well! You come with me
a minute, Bobby, and We'll see if you
are right"
Bobby followed grandmother into
the sitting room. But when they got
there both were surprised. for, sitting
in the big rocker, was Beth, her eyes
full of tears.
81 wish l was boy, same as Bobby!"
she said sorrowfully. "I'm as tired
as anything of busting rooms. Boys
don't have to dust or mend stockings
or do anything! Oh, dear, dear, dear!"
and Beth hid her curly head in the
buster and sobbed.
"Well, l never did," exclaimed
grandmother. "Suppose you do
Bobby's work to day, and he will do
yours. l know that he will be de-
lighted to change work with you"
But would you believe it? Grand
mother was mistaken, for Bobby
shook his head.
'I'm going to feed the hens myself -
he said.
Beth wiped her eyes in a hurry.
"Girls never fill wood boxes" she
murmured'
Then they both laughed, and stop
ped grumbling for that day. So, you
see, grandmother remedy was wise
one, after all.

A Recipe for Simple Living.


The following excellent morsel of
advice, whose author calls "four
rules of sincerity" is we'll worth
committing to memory. We can all
mark, read, and inwardly digest these
with profit. The rules in brief are
as follows:
We should never buy things that we
do not want.
We should never willingly, or
through mere Indifference, buy things
that are not genuine.
We should never try to do things
that we know we cannot do, or have
not time to do.
And we should never do things that
we do rot want to do, just because
other people do them and ask us to
do them.
If we all observed these four rules
of sincerity, we should discover that
simplicity of life is, after all, an at
tainable ideal-Er.

WhenIGO Home Agan.

It comes to me often in silence
When the freight splutters low
When the black uncertain shadows
Seem wraiths of long ago;
Always with thrCb of heartache,
That ills each pulsive vein,
Comes the old unquiet longing
For the peace of home again.
am sick of tbe roar of cities,
And of faces cold and strange:
know where there is warmth of welcome +,
And my yearning faucies range
Back to the dear old homefolks.
With an aching sense of pain,
But there will be joy in the coming
When go home again.
When go home there's music
That never may die away,
And it seems the hands of Angels
On a mystic harp at play,
Have touched with yearningsadness
On beautiful, broken strain
To which is my fond heart wording,
when go home again"
Outside my darkening windows
Are the great worlds clash and din,
And slowly the autumn shadows
Come drifting slowly in.
Sobbing, the night wind murmurs
To the splash of the autumn rain;
But l dream of the glorious greeting
When go home again.

The Teachers Creed.

The School Journal publishes in a
recent issue "The School Teachers
Creed" written by Edwin o. Grover,
a graduate of the st. Johnsbury Acad-
envy, class of 'S9, and copyrighted by
Alfred Bartlett of Boston. The creed
is as follows:
81 believe in boys and girls, the
men and women of a great to- morrow,
that whatsoever a boy soweth the
man shall reap. l believe in the curse
of ignorance, in the efficacy of schools,
in the dignity of teaching, and in the
Joy of serving others. I believe in
wisdom as revealed in human lives as
we'll as in pages Of printed book, in
lessons taught, not SO much by pre-
cept as by example, in ability to work
with the hands as we'll as to think
with the head, in everything that
makes life large and lovely. Ibelieve
in beauty in the school room, in the
home, in daily life, and in out-of-
doors. believe in laughter, in love,
in faith, in all ideals and distant hopes
that lure us on. l believe that every
hour of every day we receive a just
reward for all we are and all we do.
1 believe in the present and its OPP
portunities, in the future and its pro-
misses, and in the divine joy of living.
Amen.

HOW TO READ.

"In the first place, one should main
tainan active rather than a passive
attitude toward the book he is read
ing" writes Rev. William Dewitt
HYDE, D. D., in Christian EndeaUor
World. "What one gets out of book
depends less on what the book brings
to him than on what he brings to the
book. If you bring a dull, listless,
passive mind to the book, the book
will leave a dull, dim impression on
your mind.
"To avoid this passive habit, one
should limit very strictly the amount
Of light reading in which he INDUCES.
Ten minutes day is enough to spend
on the daily paper. A newspaper is
not meant to be read through, any
more than bill of fare at hotel is
intended to be consumed entire. The
paper gives all sorts of things to in
terest all sorts of people. The wise
reader glances over the headings,
selects the few things that interest
! hlAI e1uu lSdNSS IuS ISSU.
"The best way to secure the active
attitude is to read by subjects, not by
books. To take up book on sub
| ject in which we have no special in
terest, and attempt to read it through
from beginning to end, is to invite the
| passive attitude. A book mark in a
book to indicate where the reader left
off is as sure a sign of intellectual
Shiftlessness as is the hoe of the farm
hand stuck up in the field to mark the
point at which he left off hOeing an
infallible proof that the hoeing has
not been we'll done. How different
the attitude of the reader who has a
paper to write or report to make on
a subject in which he is interested!
How eagerly he runs through the table
of contents or the index until his eye
rests on the topic which is of special
interest to him! Then he turns to the
page on which his topic is treated.
Perhaps he finds that in order to un
derstand this page he must read the
pages that went before. Then back
he goes to the beginning, but how
different an attitude from that Of the
reader who began there with no def
mite interest ahead! He bounds on
through the book, reading what is
essential, skipping what is not, until
he comes to the pages where his sub
ject is set forth. By that time his
interest in the book is aroused so that
he cannot rest content until he has
read it through.
"He who reads by subjects, follow
ing lines of interest as they arise, will
read five times as fast as the listless
reader of mere books, and he will get
twenty times as much out of his read
ing. 1t is a rule of all good teaching,
and it applies equally we'll to all judi
cious reading, always to have an in
terrogation point to hang your answer
on before the answer comes. Answers
,, without previous questions are un-
harnessed horses, hard to catch and
hold, and practically useless"

Why Leaves Change Color.

Probably not one person in a thou
sand knows just why leaves change
their color in the fall, says an emf
nent botanist in the Washington Star.
The green matter in the tissue of
leaf is composed of two colors, red
and blue. When the sap ceases to
flow in the autumn, the natural
growth of the tree is retarded, and
oxidation of the tissues takes place.
Under certain conditions the green of
the leaf changes to red; under differ
ent aspects it takes on a yellow or
brown hue. The difference in color
is due to the difference in combina-
tions of the original constituents of
the green tissues, and to the varying
conditions of climate, exposure and SO
on. A dry, hot climate produces
more brilliant foliage than one that
is damp and cool, This is the reason
that American autumns are SO much
more gorgeous than those of En-
gland and Scotland.
There are several things about
leaves, however, that even science
cannot explain. For instance, why
one of two trees growing side by side,
of the same age, and having the same
exposure, should take on brilliant
red in the fall and the other turn yell
low, or why one branch of the tree
should be highly colored and the rest
of the tree have only yellow tint,
are questions that are as impossible
to answer as why one member Of a
family should be perfectly healthy
and another sickly. Naples and oaks
have the brightest color.-Erchange.

Reverence is not to be won in an

Every trif1ing jest about sacred mat

and, on the contrary, every hushed

Mrs. sangster's Definition of Tact
NeiC Orleans, La.

Mrs. Sangster's Definition of Tact"
Tact means touch. Sincere means
transparent. One may be tactful,
that is, quick to feel and respond to
the feelings of others, therefore sym
pathetic, and at the same time be
above deceit. The habit of saying
pleasant things is praiseworthy, and
there is not the slightest necessity
for their being untrue. AS a rule,
the people one meets are good and
kind, and there is much opportunity
for being nice to them. Look for the
best in friends, and cultivate the ac-
complishment of praising it. She
who says disagreeable things need
lessly, even if they are true, is a So
cial guerilla.-THe LADIES' Home Jour

LITTLE PICK-UPS.

A politician and poor workman al,
ways blame their tools.
1t seems much easier for some men
to buy things on time than to pay for
Them on time.
The man who stands in readiness for
the opportunity when it comes is the
only real successful man.
The man who does favor with the
expectation of receiving one in return,
usually gets disappointed.
A man may be ugly enough to stop a
clock and still he can marry woman
pretty enough to stop a car.
When money is tight it is sign it
is.locked up. 1t is sometimes the same
way with some of our citizens.
A woman may not be able to love
three men simultaneously, but she
sometimes makes a strenuous bluff at
it.
There are some men In this country
always preaching economy to their
wives who ought to first get something
for their wives to ecOn0lDize with.
About the only use some men have
for head is that it makes conven-

There is no truth in the saying that
a woman can make fool of man.
Nature has always gotten the start of
her.
A girl sometimes lets good chance
slip while waiting for a better one,
but it is different with a wldower.
The man who thinks he has married
an angel may consider himself very
fortunate if she turns out to be only a
good cook.
