Careful tests and observations made
at the Yale psychological laboratory
have demonstrated the importance Of
studying individual temperament be-
fore prescribing a system Of physical
exercise. A nervous temperament, for
example, requires a different treatment
from that required by phlegmatic
temperament, without regard to the
physical condition Of the subject
The mental factors are more neces.
sary than the muscular in the develop
ment of strength. A nervous person
should never be required to take heavy
exercise. A phlegmatic person, on the
contrary, requires it. The phlegmatic
temperament indicates reserve energy
In both muscles and nerve cells, while
the nervous temperament has less re-
serve power, but greater ability to use
the energy at hand.-Philadelphia Rec
ord.

ST. Rules Tower,

st. Rules tower, in the town of ST.
Andrews, is an evidence Of the link
which binds ST. Andrew, whose feast
all good Scotchmen keep to the cOun-
try of whom he is the patron saint,
The legend runs that monk called
Regulus, or Rule, brought the bones Of
St. Andrew from Constantinople to
Scotland and buried them near the sea-
coast, on the spot round which the
present town of st. Andrews after
ward grew. Whether the story is true
or not, there seems to be no other way
to explain the conn 1ction of this partic-
ular saint with Scotland, for he seems
to have passed the whole of his life up
to the moment of his martyrdom in the
east. James II. certainly associated
him with the country across the Tweed,
for it was he who founded the Order
of st. Andrew in 1851 to be conferred
on the king and sixteen knights.-Lon'
don Chronicle.

Some Famous Echoes,

There is famous echo on the Rhine
between Coblentz and Bingen which
repeats word seventeen times, while
in the sepulcher Of Metella, the wife
of Sulla, in the Roman Campagna, there
is an echo which repeats five times in
different keys and will also give back
with dlstinctness q hexameter line
which requires two and half seconds
to utter. Brewster mentions an echo
on the north side of Shipley church, in
Sussex, England, which repeats TWEEN
ty-one syllables.

interesting book on house coverings,
lately issued by the American Tin Plate

If you live under your own roof you

II you live under some other mans
roof you know how he is blasted for not

The only way to make a roof good for

simple thing, when you know how.
All Of the trouble about leaks cent? r
around selection Of the tin. Getting the
right sort Of tin is the whole thing-M F
Roofing Tin is the best. Every root
made of M Roofing Tin has done its

positively when you see tin roof that

Wales, more than fifty years ago. The

SELECTIONS.


Thy peace, o Lord, the only peace!
Fen in the midst of strife
Our hearts find peace in thee and cease
To fret at vexing life.
When a telescope is to be mounted in
great observatory, it is not enough
that it is to be set upon a structure
strongly built upon the earth; the foun-
dations must be sunk deep, that there
may be no trembling and jarring. The
soul that calmly and unwaveringly
would look out over earth, and up and
away from earth to heaven, must rest
On something less easily shaken than
this world or those that dwell on it.
But what greater confidence or happiness
could there be than is wrapped up in the
assurance that Christ is on the throne,
that his kingdom shall triumph, and that
all must work together for good to them
that love God?
What lack 1 YETI" asked the rich
man of one who surveyed his vast pos
sessions. "Only one thing, permanence. |"
In strong contrast with the transient
happiness of the man whose hope is
based on things temporal is the abiding
Joy, the habitual cheerfulness of the soul
anchored by faith to things unseen and
eternal.
Peace is such a precious jewel, that |
would give anything for it but truth
Nd. Henry.

LESSON THOUGHTS.
Sel6shness and greed, even when they
accomplish their object, do not bring
peace. Real satisfaction can be bought
by nothing that this world offers; and,
indeed, only he who is willing to lose his
life for Christ's sake really finds life and
peace.
If the kingdom Of Christ rules within
us, and we are true subjects of the King
of kings. then we need seek no farther
for peace; Tor the kingdom of God is
righteou ness and peace and joy in the
Holy Ghost.

Or the attendants surrounding the

Indeed the young lions eyes were
hardly ever taken off the king Of the

third time he half turned away.
"All right, boy" said the trainer
gently. "Ill give you a rest. Come out,

BASEBALL. THIS WEEK.
Four Games Scheduled With Belfast
and One With Augusta.

There now seems TO be no reason why
the triangular league with Waterville,
Fairfield ana Belfast for the clubs. cannot
be organized, although it cannot be start
cd this week. All three places are appar-
entity anxious to go IN, but Fairfield doe,
not feel as if she was in condition just at
present and wants this week to remodel
and trim UP her team. She expects To
be able to take her place and her fun
share of TIE games, next week. The
hooks are out, well baited, and several
men are nl5bling around them. If they
bite and are landed, it is expected that
they will strengthen the team a good deal
Meanwhile WaterNille and Belfast will
have it out to their hearts content, four
games being arranged for this week. The
teams have now played four games, each
one taking two, and both will be after
the rubber with an axe. In the last
two games played iii this vicinity Belfast
has been decidedly off color, but this
won't last rs the team is fully capable
Of putting up the real article and they'n
do it in the next game without doubt.
Belfast viii play here on the college
field, Wednesday ana Thursday Of this
week, and Watervllle will go to Belfast
for games. Friday ana Saturday. Belfast
gave Waterville the Saturday game, last
week, so Il belongs to her, this week,
and is the best day for the game there
as it is here. 1t is probable that another
special train may be run up for the Sat
urday game. Those who went on the last
enc had a delightful trip and will be more
eager to so again. With a longer time to
advertise it and on Saturday afternoon,
a mucn larger crowd can doubtless be Sc.
cured.
Belfast certainly did herself proud III
the crowd she sent down. Saturday, and
Watcrvillc ought to be able to do as we'll
as that. The special train, however, will
doubtless depend on the games that ara
played during the week.

lake, where they found awaiting them

Of Capt. Barker as in seating the party

just the right place to sink it deep into
the water SO that it struck a rock ana

from the port side. during which time a

Capt. Barker laid his course for the north
end of the pond, thence to the west by

party landed and after n short stay re-
turned to Salmon Lake House, where all
