A stickler For Promptness.

A certain merchant in Boston is
noted for being a sticlzler in the matter
Of promptness to the extent that he has
been known to walk out Of church be-
cause the services did not begin
promptly and to leave his sister alone
in a strange city because she was four
minutes late in keeping an appoint
ment. Not long ago he overheard a
forceful exposition of his popularity.
He had walked out to his stable and
was about to 60 in when he heard the
new groom within say to the coach
man, "Is it thrue, Dolan, that the boss
is cracked about doing things on time
and goes into fit whin anybody is
late?"
'"Thrue? Thrue? cried Dolan. "Let
me tell you, Ryan, how thrue it is. If
the boss had promised to mate himself
at Iliven o'clock and was late he'd find
himself gone whin he got there. That's
how thrue it is!'

Th@Hope of Misfortune.

Pain is soul tonic. Sorrow often
brings out the best there is in us. Hap
piness does not develop character. 1t
gives it surface brightness and decks it
with prismatic bubbles. It takes the
deep reaching arm Of misfortune to
trouble the depths and bring out the
pearls that lie there. The most mag
netic faces are lined by thought and
noble care. Strong, unselflsh love, even
II misplaced and unappreciated, en-
mobiles the lover. It is the frivolous,
vanity born emotions that fritter away
character and make faces Insignificant
To fail in high aim after earnest and
honest effort is not failure. The gain
it brings in strength and discipline will
appear in other directions. Misfortune
has often in the history Of the world
been the means of making a poet, ora
tor, philanthropist, scientist or states
man out Of a person whose career but
for the misfortune or physical disabili-
ty would have been commonplace and
influence limited.-Medical Talk.

A New Language Method.

If person has, as the Celts say,
''only one side to his tongue and
wishes to add to his resources in the
matter Of language it might be well
for him to apply to an old man in
Scotland, whose methods Of instruction
are simple. They are described in
Scenes In Scotland by Mr.. Sinclair.
A lady visiting in the north Of Scot
land wished to get some idea Of the
Gaelic and employed an old native to
give her a course Of language lessons.
The Scotsman took the Bible for the
text book, and, opening it at the be-
ginning of Genesis, he said:
"Now, ma'am, I'll read this to you
in the Gaelic, and you'll see yourself
how it will 60"
With solemn information and an ap-
pealing, triumphant glance toward the
lady at the end Of every clause, he
loudly read the first four verses and
paused to watch the effect. Then he
said in tone Of deep convictions:
"Now, ma'am, If you'll take your
own Bible and turn to that chapter and
read it in English you'll see it's just
the selfsame thing"
The old man was much surprised that
the lady did not continue her lessons.
