There was delightful schoolmis-

scholars certain refined distinctions:
My dears. horses sweat young men

The formality CT those times made
barriers, and in barriers, after ALL: lie
the half of romance. 1t is the face be-
meath the veil that we are most eager
to see, the voice behind the wall that
tempts us to most strenuous climbing.
What could be prettier or more mac
cessible than a young lady all in a

Man is still at heart essentially old
fashioned, and the modern girl, rejoic-
ing in her new equipment of frankness
and courage and unconventiality, some
times finds him strangely unresponsive.
Theoretically he is thoroughly in SYM

needs must be, but for all that he
dimly realizes that something is MISS

CARVING OF A NAME.

Few authors of books for boys have
enjoyed such wide popularity as that ac-
corded to Horatio Alger Jr., who was born
at Revere Mass. Jan. 10, 1884, and died
at the age of SiXty-five. Most of Mr..
Alger's work is not of high literary quail
ity. but it inculcateS high ideals and is
morally unexceptionable. Mr.. Alger was
graduated from Harvard and became a
Unitarian clergyman. Later he abandoned
the pulpit to devote himself to the writ
ing Of hooks for boys about sixty eX-
also wrote other novels and two books
of poems. The philanthropy expressed in
the stanzas below was well exemplifled
throughout Mr.. Ayers life. The words
have been set to music:
1 wrote my name upon the sand,
And trusted it would stand for aye;
But soon, alas, the refluent sea
Had washed my feeble lines away.
I carved my name upon the wood
And after years, returned again;
I missed the shadow of the tree
That stretched of old upon the plain.
To solid marble next my name
/ gave. as a perpetual truSt
An earthquake rent it to its base,
And now it lies o'erlaid with dust.
All these have failed. In wiser mood
| turn and ask myself, What them"
If would have my name endure,
I'll write it on the hearts of men,
In characters of living light,
Of kindly deeds and actions wrought,
And these, beyond the touch of time,
Shall live immortal as my thought.

A Brief History.


In 1884. for the declaration of peace, the
United States kept her first great Thanks
giving day.
In 1889 there was another national
Thanksgiving
George Washington. when president,
And congress- work was done
The Constitution had gone through,
In Union we We're one, z
Proclaimed glad Thanksgiving day;
To God for our success,
Imploring still his guiding hand,
And grace, our land to bless.
When Wayne had triumphed Ger our foes,
The Indians, out West,
The next Thanksgiving day was kept
At Washington's request.
The first was in November's month,
The second. strange to say, i
Was held in February's month
While Washington held sway.
In 1863 President Lincoln issued a ma
tional proclamation for a Thanksgiving
day.
The third came under Lincoln's rule,
Who fixed the holiday.
And babe that we observe it all
In some BETTING way.
Since then every president has annually
named the last Thursday as a day Of
national Thanksgiving. The governors of
the different states usually select the
same date.

by the church and his soul was de-

a suicide was condemned to ignomin-

In the reign of George ". this was re-

spread upon framework few feet from

process from the heat and smoke of the
fire built underneath. Attempts have
been made to introduce mate into use
here without success.

To step aside is human;
One point must still be greatly dark,

How far perhaps they rue it.

Decidedly can try US;
He knows each chord, it's various tone,
Each spring, its various bias;

Japanese Dentistry.

The Japanese dentist does not brighten
his patient with an array of steel instru-
ments. All his operations in tooth draw
ing are performed by the thumb and fore
finger of one hand. The skill necessary
to do this is acquired only after long
practice, but when once it is obtained,
the operator is able to extract half a
dozen teeth in about thirty seconds with
out once removing his fingers from the
patients mouth. The dentists education
commences with the pulling out of plugs
which have been pressed into soft wood:
it ends with the drawing of hard pegs
which have been driven into an oak plank
with a heavy mallet.

That the officials of the United
