CHINESE PROVERBS.

If the roots be left. the grass will
grow again.
One lash to Il good horse: one word
TO wise man.
The gods cannot help q man who
loses opportunities.
Riches come better after poverty
than poverty after riches.
Dig we'll before you are thirty. Be
prepared for contingencies. ~' >-"
The error of one moment becomes
the sorrow of a whole lifetime.
Borrowed money makes time short;
working for others makes it long.
The gem cannot be polished without
friction nor the man perfected without
trials.
Large fowls will not eat small grain.
Great mandarins are not content with
little brbes.
A wise man adapts himself to cir
cumstances as water shapes itself to
the vessel that contains it.
The best thing is to be respected and
the next is to be loved. 1t is bad to be
hated, but worse still to be despised.

Dangers For Timid Diners.

II one were to study the subject and
risidly avoid eating all things that are
reputed to be bad for ones health in
one way or another. it would probably
be difficult to keep starvation at bay.
The list of things which cannot be
eaten with safety by those who have
a tendency to appendicitis is very
long one. A prominent scientist de-
clares that one of the deadliest sweet
meats is preserved ginger; but pine
apple, fresh or preserved, is almost
equally risky, while oranges, figs, rasp-
berries, in fact all fruit with pips, are
also very dangerous eating. To still
further limit our dietary, there are a
number of other things which may not
be eaten by those who fear typhoid
fever. The oyster scare has led to sus-
picion Of all other shellfish, not only
Holsters and crabs, but even the hither

sary shrimps and prawns.-St. James

The first record concerning mirrors
dates back to the days of the venerable
Moses, and they were made of brass.
When the Spaniards landed in South
America they found mirrors of polished
black stone in use among the natives.
In the fifteenth century the first glass
mirrors were made in Germany by a
blowpipe, and were convex. The first
mandatory of glass mirrors for sale
was established in Venice early in the
sixteenth century. In the reign of
James 1. men, women and children
wore looking glasses publicly, the men
as brooches or ornaments in their hats
and the women at their girdles or on
their boSoms.

BOY BATTLES.

For His Rights.

Let the Youngster Learn to Stand Up
For His Rights.
Have you forbidden your son to fight
| under severe penalties? And have you
sent him to public school hampered
by this Injunction? This is the infalli-
BILE result: Either he will fight and
| deny 1t to you, which is far more
blameworthy than fighting, or he will.
| If strictly obedient boy. refuse to
| fight or to resent imposition, and thus
gain the reputation of a "milksop" or
| SISSY" and his school days will be
made miserable by the injustice Of this
stigma and by the indignities and an
noyances to which he will be subjected
by his mates. If you find your boy
quarrelsome and inclined to impose
upon other and younger boys punish
him as severely as you wish. I am
fully in accord with you there, for
quarrelsome, tyrannical bully is nui-
sance in any school; but as long as
there are schools so long will there be
auarrelsoma. tyrannical DULLES, and
you and l, my dear madam, wish our
boys to take these DULLES in hand and
thrash them. Now, isn't that so?
Do you suppose that Fatty was any
the worse for his fight with Fishy?
And when, in after years. Fatty be-
came one of the best football players
and cane rushers that Dartmouth col
lege ever boosted and one of the best
business men in New Hampshire is
there any doubt that this fight had
some infiuence-a slight influence, per-
haps, but still an influence-in produc-
ing this development? And do you
suppose that he was any the less
gentleman and good citizen from
having learned to stand up for his
rights and to resent improper interfer-
ence with his, affairs? Let your boy
learn to box, to wrestle. to fence, and
so develop every muscle. 1 never yet
saw a boy who knew how to box
strike with a club, a stone or a dan
gerous weapon. - Judge Henry A.

THE FISHER sMARTEN..
Conceiteti, Cunning and Intelligent
and without Fear

q anu rear ~
The fisher marten deserves to be
much better known than he generally,
is, if only on account of his own good
opinion of himself, his wonderful cum
ming and shrewd intelligence. =
One of the largest and handsomest
Of the martens, he has also agility,
strength and endurance for any two
Of his kind put together. Measuring
about three feet in length, with slim,
vigorous body, the fisher will travel
enormous distances in a single night,
bounding lightly up into the air, with
his nose turned up in order to catch
every Whit Of scent, outwittng other
animals and the cleverest trappers and
making himself at home wherever he
happens to find himself. -. IS,
He generally chooses as his hunting
grounds the thickly covered hills and
ridges where the hemlock and spruce
grow in abundance, but he is as much
at home on the tree tops as on the
ground and can sleep as soundly in
low hollow Of a tree as on branch Of
fir tree, where he will lie stretched
out In the sunshine like any old cat.
I AS for fear, he does not know what
II is. He will not only face but &C.
tually kill Canadian porcupine and
does not even appear to mind the
quilts which penetrate his body. He
10 not particularly fond Of meeting an
old bear with cubs. but IL generally
clever enough to steal her cubs while
she goes of on some little expedition
Of her own, while instances have been
mountains even killing young grizzlies.
AS for man, he appears to laugh at
him and lis designs for trapping wild
animals He will pull a .marten trap
open and take ont the bait whether
alive or dead; he will tear pine mar
ten or mink to pieces in no time and
carry it OF or drag the trap over some
rough projection in order to spring it
and make off more often than not
without having received as much as a
scratch.
But perhaps his cleverest trick. when
he finds a trapper is following his
trail, is to get behind the trapper and
follow his. so that while the uncon-
scious trapper is walking after the
fisher the fisher Is keeping completely
out of danger by following the trap
per. Many IL useless mile has the
trapper walked in this manner. and
many good bats has he lost by the
very same shrewd, cunning animal he
is trying to trace and catch.-Collier's

= Lucky Game of Chess.

A story is tc.d Of the Moorish prince
Abul Neje". who WAS thrown into
prison for spdit,on by his brother Mo
manned. king Of Granada. There he
remained for several years until the
king. fearing he might escape. placed
himself at the head of fresh revolt
and seized the crown, ordering one of
his pashas to see to his immediate exc
cution. Abul Hejex was playing at chess
when the pasha came and babe him
prepare for death. The prince asked
for two hours respite, which was re-
fused. After earnest entreaty he OBJ
tanned permission to finish his game.
He was in no hurry about the moves.
we are told, and we'll for him he was
not. for before an hour had elapsed a
messenger brought the news that Mo-
manned had been struck dead by apo
pleXy, and Abul was forthwith pro-
claimed king of Granada. 1t was in
deed small favor for the pasha to
grant, but it altered the whole current
of the kings career.

OCEAN LINERS IN PORT.
The Work That Is Done by the Grew
%S@ That Never Sails. 2aI#

Ii tsea ThAt never Sa1ls.# ssask
The captains authority over an ocean
liner. and equally. of course. his respon-
sibility for her extend only over the
time when she is crossing the sea.
Practically the responsibility ceases
when she approaches land on either
side. for the pilot assumes charge OF
her nayiga ton as sooS as he comes
aboard. When the ship arrives at her
pier. or as soon, to be exact, as she Is
within hailing distance, the captain Is
no longer in control. She is then under
the authority of the marine superil-
tendent, who is in command of tie
piers and tugs and harbor front equip
ment of the line and who takes charge
of the docking of all vessels. ..-,..
To bring a giant Liner to rest at her
pier is a delicate operation. The flow
of the tide, the Roadway impaired by
her engines before they stop, the depth
Of the water, must all be taken into
consideration, for the quarters are mar
row. and If she were to ram the pier
1t would mean bad smashup. But
with the skill of long experience the
superintendent, by voice and hand, con-
trolls the great vessel perfectly, and
with tugs helping her and cables draw
Ing her she glides into her resting place
as quietly and easily as a tired child
slips beneath the covers at night.
Practically, from the moment when
the liner ia made fast she is turned
over to the crew that never sails. Her
officers remain on duty, and their work
il rs arduous and almost as incessant
In port as ut sea. But the law requires
that the crew Of each vessel shall be
paid or and discharged at the end Of
every voyage. h the case Of the liner
they are again signed Immediately, but
during the period while the vessel lies
In port they are not officially connected
with her, and the work which naturally
would fall to their lot is performed by
the port crew.-Earl Mayo in Leslie's

OUR INSTINCT TO CHEW.
It Manffests itself In Numerous and
s.E# CuriOus Ways

It Manffests ITSELF In Numerous and
Curious Ways.
Seeing that the maxillary appara tus
OF man has for long ages past been put
to vigorous use, it is not surprising that
the need to exercise 1t should express
itself as powerful instinct. This In
stinct manifests itself in many and
curious ways. During the early months
of life the natural function Of feeding
at the breast, peovides the infants
jaws, tongue and lips with all the need
full exercise. This bottle feeding fails
to do, and we frequently find bottle fed
children seeking to satisfy the natural
instinct by sucking their thumbs, fin
gers Or any convenient object at hand.
The teeth are provision for biting
hard foods. but even before they actu-
ally appear we find the child seeking
to exercise his toothless gums on any
hard substance he can lay hold of. and
there can be no doubt that exercise Of
this kind tends to facilitate the erup-
ton Of the teeth, truth indeed recog-
nized universally, whether by the prim-
tive mother who strings the tooth Of
some wild animal round the neck Of
her infant or the up to date parent
who provides her child with a bejewel-
ed ivory or coral bauble.
When the teeth have erupted, the
masticatory instinct finds among print
i've peoples abundant satisfaction in
the chewing OF the coarse, hard foods
which constitute their dietary; but
among MS moderns, subsfsting, as we
do, mainly on soft foods, ahorfing but
little exercise for the mastcatory ap-
paratus, it does not and ita proper ex-
preston, and thus tends to die out.
Nevertheless It dies a hard death and
long continues to assert itself. Witness
the tendency Of children to bite their
pencils and penholders. have known
child to gnaw through a bone pen
holder much in the same way as q
carnivorous animal gnaws at bone.
This instinct to chew for chewing
sake manifests itself all over the world.
In our own country not only do chill
dren bite pencils and penholders, but
they will chew small pieces of india
rubber for hours together. The prac-
tice Of gum chewing, SO common among
our American cousins, evidently comes
down from faroff times. for the primi-
tive Australians chew several kinds of
gum, attributing to them nutrient
qualities, and the Patagonians are said
to keep their teeth white and clean by
chewing matri. gum which eXudes
from the incense bush.-Lancet

Work and Leisure Should Be Mated.
Work is good. No one seriously
doubts this truth. Adam may have
doubted it when he first took spade in
hand and Eve when she secured her
first pots and kettles, but in the course
of few thousand years we have learn
ed to know and value this honest. trou-
blesome, faithful and extremely exact
ing friend. But work is not the only
good thing in the world. 1t is not a
fetch to be adorned, neither is it to be
judged, like sum in addition. by its
outward and immediate. results. The
god of labor does not abide exclusively
in the rolling mill, the law courts or

whose name is leisure. and in her soci-
