RevlvIna Memories of Tell.


Tells Chapel, of course. Erected,
one remembered, by grateful nation
in commemoration of one of the deeds
of the Swiss hero. But which deed?
Recourse was had to the faithful Bae-
deker, and the information speedily
ELECTED that the chapel stood on the
historic spot where the savior of his
country leaped from Gessler's boat.
Which was inspiring enough, if only
one happened to recall who "Gessler"
was, and under what circumstances
the hero "leaped." Thus it was
three ordinarily well-read people-that
our ignorance of Tell first arose and
smote us. We become conscious of it
again on arriving at Fluelen and learn
ing that, only half an hours drive
away was, not only Burglen, the vii
lage where Tell saw the light, but
Altdorf, in whose public square the
bowman shot the apple off his sons
head. That mention of the apple set
us on firmer ground at once. Every
body knows that the hero was forced
into attempting that heartrending trial
of his Workmanship and has heard in
imagination the boys cry of Shoot,
father, shoot!" But who was it that
commanded the attempt, and why was
it done? We put these questions to
one another. each deprecating his
companions ignorance and attempting
to excuse his own.

Story Of Bishop keane.

The New World of Chicago gives the
following on the authority of a cor
respondent: /,
previously to his election last year
President Roosevelt spoke at city in
the diocese of Cheyenne. Naturally
there was a great crowd to welcome
him, but it appears that this meeting
was got up by bigots who We're so
exclusive that they did not invite the
resident bishop, Right Rev. j. j. keane.
when the president reached the
platform he looked about and noted
the prelate's absence. Where is the
bishop?" he asked bluntly. Abashed,
the leading citizens explained that
they had forgotten to invite him.
We'll, he'd like to be here, know;
SO I'll just wait until he arrives There
was nothing to do except get him, and
after hurried search the bishop was
found getting shaved in a barber shop.
Soon as he appeared on the platform
the president greeted him warmly, and
said: L thought l would teach few
Of your neighbors to respect dignity
After this the meeting proceeded as
scheduled. II correct as reported, it is
safe to assert the bishop will not be
ignored the next time the president
visits that western city,"

Pleasant Persons.

1t is Il grand gift to be able to smile
as the pleased man or woman smiles
1t is not the stereotyped duty smile
of society, it is not the patronizine
smile OF careless tolerance, or the
painful smile of bored politeness.
Whatever adds in even the smallest
way to the worlds brightness and
cheer is worth while One who says
an encouraging word to disheart
ened neighbor, gives a look of love tc
a lonely one or speaks sentence
which may become strength, guidance
and comfort to another, does some
thing worth while. 1t is always worth
while to live nobly, VIGOROUSLY
struggling to do right, showing the
world even the smallest fragments OF
divine beauty.

WHY Russian Soldiers Sing.'

1t has been pointed out to me by an
enlightened critic that must be mis-
taken in describing the lot of the Rus
sian soldier as an unhappy one. Rus
sian regiments always sing ON the
march," he explains, and therefore, OF
course, the men must be happy.
He is perfectly right .3out the sing
ing. Russian soldiers are always sing
ing; they sing On the march, they sing
in the train, they sing while they are
eating their black bread and kapusta
(sour cabbage), they sing in the khar-
chevna (public house,. have also
seen a gang of V e 400 prisoners in
chains on their way to Siberia, and
they, too, sang as they marched to the
station and a.terward in the train. |
suppose, therefore, that they must
have been quite happy and ccntented.
An American humorist has told us
that a certain amount Of feas is good
for a dog; he passes the day in
scratching himself. and SO forgets to
brood over the misery of being a dog.
Ask the Russian soldier why he is al
ways singing and he will give you
much the same reason. He passes the
day in singing and so forgets to
brood over the misery of being a sol.

CARE OF NOSE AND MOUTH.
Prominent Woman Physician Gives
Advioo IN Mothers

Advice to Mothers.
In the Delineator, DR.. Grace Peck
ham Murray has some remarks on the
care of the nose and mouth that will
be read to their profit by all mothers.
OF proper breathing she says: eff
there are distractions in either the
mouth or the nose which prevent the
free introduction of air, the blood is
not aerated as it should be, and the
whole bodily nutrition suffers in con-
sequence. The trouble occasioned by
such a condition is much greater in
a child than in an adult. If a child
is not growing we'll, if he is pale and
puny, the nose and mouth and throat
should be examined to discover il
there are any obstacles to free breath
ing. Between the nose and the throat,
and generally out of sight, are spongy
growths called 'adenoids.' They inter
fere more %effectually with the free en-
trance of air than anything else, and
as they exist unseen they are often
the unsupported cause Of a child's i'll
health. If the child breathes with the
mouth open, and not through then nose,
they are likely to be present. If there
are many of these growths they give
rise to catarrhal discharges from the
nose, and they will also interfere with
hearing. They sometimes occasion
the swelling of the glands Of the neck
and cause Inflammation which results
in open cores. Children suspected Of
!, having these growths should be taken
to a surgeon to be examined. The
main thing to be borne in mind is thai
the only proper way for a child te
breathe is through the nose"
