discerning grace and exquisite proper

ding angles and distortion and glimps-
ing the image of divinity where less
beautiful souls see but lost and de-

Yet ii is the heritage possible to all
who will take the trouble to begin early
In life to cultivate the finer qualities
of the soul. the eye and the heart.
1t is said that the most disgusting
object. if put under magnifying glass
of sntficieRt power. would reveal beau
ties undreamed of. SO even in the most
unloVely environment. in the most cruel
conditions. there is something of the
beautiful and the hopeful when viewed
through the glass of trained and
disciplined mind
a beautiful character will make poet
ry out of the prosiest life, bring sun
shine into the darkest home and deyel-
OPP beauty and grace amid the ugliest
surroundings.
1t is not circumstances so much as
the attitude and quality of the mind
that give happiness, contentment and

Intellect and Hair.

Prom the color of mans hair may
be learned a good deal in regard to his
intellectual ability" says a professor Of
the University of Lille who has for
come months been closely studying the
subject Schoolboys with chestnut hair,
he maintains, are likely TO be more clev-
er than any other and will generally be
found at the head of the class, and in
like manner girls with fair hair are
likely to be far more studious and
bright than girls with dark hair. In
mathematics and recitation these boys
and girls, he claims, specially excel. On
the other hand, he says that boys and
girls with brown hair are most likely to
attain distinction through their indi-
viduality and style and that those with
red or auburn hair do not often excel
In any respect.

tremendous influence in the history and
reign of Henry VIII. of England. Aft
er the fall of Anne Boleyn the papacy
prepared oyertures of reconciliation SO
favorable to the king that he concluded
to accept them. A representative was
sent from Rome with the dispatches,
and when only a days journey from
Calais the horse cast a shoe and fell
lame. AS the horse was a favorite
animal. the messenger determined to
wait for a day rather than take the
chances of losing the horse. The next
day the journey was resumed and Lon
don was reached, to find that Henry
that day had been married to Jane
Seymour a Protestant, that Anne had
been beheaded the day before, and all
hope of a reconciliation was lost. The
messenger was day too late, and the
horseshoe had changed the bent of the
nations history.
