IN, Prudent Princess.

There was once a beautiful princess,
who had a head on her shoulders,
which head was devised for thinking
purposes.
She caused it TO be announced that
she was coyly willing to be married ii
the right man came along.
Among the suitors was wealthy old
prince, who was enraptured with her
beauty and delighted with her intellect.
He cried
"Ah, / could die for you"
Stand aside" suggested the prin-
cess.
So the old prince stood aside, and
the sutors passed on in line, one after
another being rejected. At last there
came a young and handsome prince,
who had overheard the plea OF the
wealthy old prince. Now, the young
and handsome prince, though he had
little money, had considerable sense,
so he said,-
"Ah, could live for you!'
Il am yours, said The prudent prin-
cess, lust as soon as the other gentle
man dies for me"

Inheritance than through a breach OF

parrots caught sight Of each other they
broke into a torrent Of apparently ar.
ticulate language, consisting, as it
seemed, of questions and answers, but
what the language was no one present
could tell. The owner Of the first par.
rot had never during the years it had
lived with her heard it speak this

London Crowds Look Much Alike.

To the chance observer the throng-
ing thousands OF overcrowded London
are not easily classified, writes Walter
A. Wycoif in Scribner's. One readily
recognizes certain types, as the casuals
and tramps and abandoned women, the
fiotsam and jetsam generally of a city
population which are not widely unlike
wherever met. But this carries one
but a little way in knowing a city full
of industrious workers of all manner
OF antecedents and ranging from four
teen years to old age and engaged in
nearly every conceivable industry.
There is little, any longer, in the dress
of the English working people, as in
the case of the working classes in
America, to give them distinctive
stamp, The factory girl is a type apart
and the costermonger and the Jew OF
the sweat-shops, and one imagines that
one distinguishes roughly between
skilled apd unskilled workmen, and
certainly between criminals and honest
workers. until experience suggests a
difficulty. But for those who, from long
study OF the working classes OF Lon

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Sincerity is the secret of success.
1t takes more than money to make
a living.
self-surrendcr is the secret of soul.
satisfaction.
The tree of knowledge is not the
tree Of life.
To break our mirrors will not make
us beautiful
The heart is only clean when it is
wholly clean.
You cannot make an enemy without
losing a friend.
Sympathy for others is a salve for
our own sorrows.
1t is a vain hope that the chains of
habit will rust off.
The supreme art of living may be
summed up in giving.
When father is too tender his sons
usually balance things
Life is a mans opportunity for the
realization Of his ideals.
TO be at our best tomorrow we
must be at our best to-day.
When ambition is the child OF envy
it will be the mother Of sorrows.
The lights of the world are not il.
lumined by the fires OF controversy.
He who has friends only to use them
will have them only to lose them.--

Raising the Wind.

When a certain late Shah OF Persia
became temporarily embarrassed Tor
money he had quite a unique method
Of filing his purse. He would go to
the market where, after examining
the shops, he would select one anG,
turning to the proprietor, would say:
will you take me in as partner In
your business for the day| The offer
was, OF course, accepted. The Shah
would take his scat near the shop en-
trance and say to his courtiers, whom
he always took with him on these oc-
casions: Now, I'm the salesman
Who'll buy?" The latter, not daring
to refuse the offer OF the royal merl
chant, set about clearing the shop OF
its contents, paying sometimes two
hundred and fifty dollars for goods
that were not worth fifty dollars. No
one was allowed to beat down the
prices or to leave the place without
making purchases When everything
was sold the Shah had a list OF the
cost price OF each article made out,
and Loyalty shared with the shopkeeper
the amount OF the profits realized.
