Did His Best.

In the absence of the regular society
reporter the dramatic critic of the
Daily Chronicle was detailed to write
up" a wedding. "I'll do the best
can" he said but l feel sure shall
make a botch of It," This Is what he
turned in, emitting the preliminary
remarks about the size Of the audience
and the delay in beginning the per-
Torrance:
MIR. Burnside, in the role of the bride
groom, acted the part In a stiff yet list
less manner. He has good stage
presence, but mars the effect by n
total lack of animation and an almost
Inaudible voice.
Miss Jones, as the bride, was much
more effective. Her costume was be-
wildering, yet true to life. II one may
venture to criticise, her effort to over
some her obvious stage fright was a
trife too evident. She was In good
voice however, and her enunciation
was clear and distinct
1t must be confessed that both Miss
Jones and Mr. Burnside were deficient
N their lines and had to be prompted
almost constantly by the Rev. Jabez
Simpson, who, as the officiating clergy
man, was decidedly the star Of the
performance.

A somewhat striking story dealing
with the now obsolete conventional
suicide, "harikiri' or happy dis
patch" once common In Japan. is told
by the French Admiral Gourdon.
When he was II young man he had a
comrade who, having assisted In the
organizing OF the japanese navy, was
subsequently raised TO the rank of ad
miral In that force He took the part
Of the tycoon against the mikado in
the revolutionary war and. having
been captured, was tried by court mars
tial and sentenced to death, which in
those days implied "harikiri." When,
however, the fatal sword was present
ed to him he fatty refused to kill him
self and declared that II he was to die
somebody else must Kill him. Threats
and entreaties alike proved unayailing.
He resolutely refused. The whole of
Japan was scandalized Mt such immor
al behavior, which, however, saved his
life. The japanese penal code had
never contemplated such a contingency
as a man inhuman enough to refuse
the "harikiri," and In the end he was
banished from the country and re-
turned to France.-St. James Gazette.

THE chewing of gum Is generally re-
garded by the parents of children who

It," said d dentist. And yet In Ger
tain cases. | have no hesitation in say
ing that II is a most excellent thing
In fact, on more than one occasion
have | advised the parents of children
whose faces were narrow and whose
jaws We're not sufficiently developed to
make them chew gum. The constant
exercise has a tendency to widen an
otherwise narrow jaw and thus make
room for teeth that show evidence of
crowding each other out of shape. The
constant chewing of gum for two hours
every day Is sufficient exercise to bring
about a most desirable result In the
dwarfed formation of a child's jaw.
Even when no such treatment is neces-
sary | see no reason why the children
should be forbidden to chew gum. 1t

good In keeping the teeth white and

Prompt Decision.

The secret of getting through work Is
method. Order. 1t has been said, Is
Gods first law. Let 1t be yours. Do not
let your work accumulate upon your
hands. 1t is not work that kills, but
arrears of work Work put off Is work
put on with heavy interest. Sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof" 1t
becomes intolerable If 1t be laid upon
tomorrow.
II may recommend you three rules
for saving time and economiZing
strength they shall be these: Answer
letters, keep appointments, make up
your minds. In the affairs of this life
prompt decision Is often more impor-
tant than right decision. One man
makes up his mind and arts. 1t may be.
wrongly, but If SO he finds out his mis-
take, corrects and retrleyes 1t before
another man has acted at all. 1t il
possible to waste great amount OF
time by thinking, and still more by
talking over actions. First thoughts
are sometimes wiser than second and
generally wiser than third. - Contem-
porary Review.

THE GOOD OLD WAY.

A severe cold or attack of la grippe is
like a fire, the ,oner you combat it the
better your chances are to overpower it.
But few mothers in this age are willing
to do the necessary work required to
give good old-fashioned reliable treat
ment such as would be administered by
their grandmothers, backed by Boschee, 8
German Syrup, which was always
literally used in connection with the
home treatment of colds and ia still In
greater household favor than any known
remedy But even without the appli-
cation of the old-fashioned aids German
Syrup will cure severe cold in quick
time. 1t will cure colds in children or
grown people. 1t relieves the congested
organs, allays the irritation, and effec-
lively stops the cough. Any child will
take it. 1t Is invaluable in a household
of children. Trial size bottle, 25c;

The little creature which possesses
the distinction of having more legs
than any other animal Is that which
belongs to the family Of insects known
us millepeds. or thousand footed. There
are several different species of these
but they all possess tho common char
acteristic Of having Sc .,mented bodies
each segment of which is provided
with It's own pair OF feet. These are
set so closely along the body as TO re
semble hairs, and when they move one
after another with perfect regularity
the effect is precisely the same on
small scale as that Of field of oats
undulating under the influence Of the
wind. Some species Of millepeds have
as many as $50 separate and distinct
legs. They are all perfectly harmless,
unlike the centipeds. which frequently
have the power Of inhictlng poisonous
