Conceit is essential to rapid advance
ment-not overconcelt, but conceit in
reasonable volume. The conceit of
youth becomes the assurance of old
age. If you're master of your conceit
you have back Of you slave of unlim-
tied assistance. If conccit is your mas
ter, you're doomed to failure. But
don't cultivate self conceit. It's lusty
plant Give it half chance and it
will outgrow your self respect.-N. C.

When peath Cool, M. s,,,9

There is Il curious superstition in ia
maica that if a death occurs in the
house all the water in it is poisoned at
once and must be thrown away, the
reason given being that "dcath' cools
his sting" after destroying life in the
first water he finds, and as no one can
tell-death being invisiDle-what jar
he may choose 1t is safest to throw it
all away. Careful people to save trou-
bic even carry all water out Of the
house immediately before a death is
expected.
