CULTIVATE TACT.

II You Do Not Possess 1t, Strive to
Acquire 1t.
I want it recognized that tact should
be taught continuously, seriously, thor
oughly; that 1t shoul. be placed in the
forefront of education and take its
natural first place side by side with the
catechism. writes Frank Dandy in
Black and White.
A friend of mine recently suffering
under a great bereavement was in the
receipt Of innumerable letters and tele-
grams from friends, acQuaintances and
the general public. Out of the lao Of
such communications two only hit the
right note. Among pages Of sentiment
al and religious commonplace two mes
sages alone touched the heart.
He was a man I loved. I am with
you in your grief" was one.
The other ran: you have lost your
best pal. He was mine too. God help
us BOTH"
Both Of them epitomized the senders
men with great hearts. But the ac-
QUESTION Of tact by some Of the other
sympathizers would have supplied its
place.
Again, paying an afternoon visit re-
Gently, my hostess, wanting book to
which our conversation had referred,
rang the bell Within two minutes the
servant appeared with tea, and the fol-
lowing cOlloquy occurred:
"Who told you to bring teaY"
"Please, ma'am, l thought that was
what you rang for"
"Well, please don't think. hired you
to answer the bell 1t wasn't the sig
nal for guessing competition. When
want you to do that I'll supply the
kitchen with copy of newspaper"
l was not surprised to hear this lady
changed her servants frequently.

STOP IT..

Boosting Of what you can do instead
Of doing it.
Thinking that life Is a grind and not
worth living.
Exaggerating and making mountains
out Of molehills.
Talking continually about yourself
and your affairs.
Saying unkind things about acquaint-
ances and friends.
Thinking that all the good chances
and opportunities are gone by.
Thinking Of yourself to the exclusion
Of everything and every one else.
Specializing as to what you would do
In some one else's place and do your
best in your own.
Gazing idly into the future and
dreaming about it instead of making
the most Of the present.
Longing for the good things that 9th
ers have instead Of going to work and
earning them for yourself.-Success.

In Darkest London.

In his book, Child Slaves Of Great
Britain" Robert H. Sherard writes:
There are thousands Of our poor chill
dren in London starving not on &C.
count Of the poverty Of the parents,
but by reason of the ignorance and
sloth Of the mothers. They know moth
ing of cookery; they wish to know
nothing. They do not care for the
trouble. In every London slum you
will find fried fish shop or cooked
meat shop or grocer who sells cheese
and pickles and potted things. 1t is
much easier and less worriting-like' to
send the children out with coppers for
a penn'orth of fish and chips or a bit
Of cheese and pickles than to cook any
thing for them"

A Hurricane.

The terrors Of the deep were perhaps
never more thrillingly set forth than in
the description by a young lady who
last year made her first trip abroad.
She kept diary, very much, says the
New York Herald, like that Of Mark
Twain, when for seven days he record
ed the fact that he "got up, washed and
went to breakfast"
There was one important exception.
When she crossed the channel the ex-
perience was so trying that she felt
impelled to describe it.
Il firmly resolved to stay on deck"
she wrote, although the tempest in
creased to such a frightful hurricane
that it was only with the greatest diff
Guilty that could hold up my parasol."

ORIGIN OF PIXIES PEAK.


Indian Legend Of the Formation q
This Famous Mountain.
The quaint Indian legend of the for.
nation Of Pixies peak is as follows:
AT the beginning Of all things the
lesser spirits possessed the earth and
dwelt near the banks of the great
river. They had created a race Of men
to be their servants, but these men
were far superior to the present in
habitants Of the earth and made end
less trouble for their creators. There
fore the lesser spirits resolved to de-
stroy mankind and the earth itself. so
they caused the great river to rise un-
til it burst its banks and overwhelmed
everything. They themselves took each
large portion of the best Of the earth
that they might create a new world
and quantity Of maize, which had
been their particular food, and return
ed to heaven. Arriving at the gate of
heaven, which is at the end of the
plains, where the sky and mountains
meet they were told that they could
not bring such burdens Of earth into
heaven. Accordingly they dropped
them all then and there These falling
masses made great heap on the top
Of the world which extended far
above the waters, and this is the origin
Of Pixies peak, which is thus shown to
be directly under the gate Of heaven.
Ut was formerly twice as high as now,
but lost its summit, as is told in an
other legend)
1.-THE rock masses upon it and all
about show that they have been
dropped frem the sky. The variety
and extent of the mineral wealth in
the region prove that the earth's choic-
est materials are deposited there. And
still as the consultations move across
the heaven and vanish above the
mountain submits we may see the
spirits rise from the great river and
pass to the gate of heaven. The fall
ing stars are their falling burdens or
the dropping grains Of MAIZE"

IMPORTANCE OF CARBON.
Without II or It's Equivalent We
Could Have No Arc Light.

Without It or It's Equivalent We
Could Have No Arc Light.
The electric arc light as now so COM
monty used is produced by the passage
Of a powerful electric current between
the slightly separated ends of pair Of
carbon rods, or carbons, about twelve
inches long and from three-eighths to
one-half inch in diameter, placed YER
tically end to end in the lamp. The
lamp mechanism Is so constructed that
when no current Is passing the upper
carbon, which is always made the posi-
tive one, rests upon the lower by the
action Of gravity, but as soon as the
electric current is established the car
bons are automatically separated about
an eighth Of an inch, thus forming
gap Of high resistance in the electric
circuit, across which the current Is
forced, resulting in the production Of
intense heat. The ends Of the carbons
are quickly heated to brilliant mean
descence, and by the burning action of
the air are maintained in the form of
blunt points. AS the carbons burn
away, the lamp mechanism feeds the
upper one downward just fast enough
to maintain the proper separation.
The carbons are not heated equally,
the upper or positive one being much
the hotter. A small cup shaped cavity or
Crater" ordinarily less than an eighth
Of an inch in diameter, is formed in its
end, the glowing concave surface Of
which emits the greater part of the to-
tai light. In lights Of the usual size,
something like half horsepower Of en-
ergy is concentrated in this little era
ter, and its temperature is limited only
by the vaporization Of the carbon. Car
bon being the most refractory sub
stance known, the temperature Of the
crater is the highest yet produced arti-
fcially and ranks next to that Of the
sun. 1t is fortunate that nature has
provided us with such a substance as
carbon, combining, as it does, the high
est resistance to heat with the neces-
sary electrical conductivity. Without
carbon or an equivalent-and none Is
known-we could have no arc light

Vocation and AYocatiou.

"Avocation" is one Of those unfOr
tunate words that are constantly being
used in wrong sense. Strictly speak
ing, it refers to something that calls a
man away from the ordinary occupa
ton of his daily life. If you earn your
living by drafting conveyances and in
terpreting legal subtleties and also are
often seen in leisure hours with a cam
era in your hand and have dark room
at home, then the law is your vocation
and photography your avocation.-Lon-
don Telegraph.

Manners.

Manners are Of more Importance than
laws. In great measure the laws de-
pend on them. The law touches us but
here and there and now and then.
Manners are what vex or soothe, cor
rupt or purify, exalt or debase, barba-
rize or refine us, by constant, steady,
uniform, insensible operation, like that
Of the air we breathe. They give their
whole color to our lives. According to
their quality they aid morals, they sup
ply them or they totally destroy them.

A Wonderful Memory.

Hortensius, the Roman orator, could
repeat word for word book he had
just read. On one occasion he made .
wager with one Sienna and to win 1t
went to an auction, remained all day
and in the evening gave list Of all the
articles sold, the prices paid for them
and the names Of the purchasers. The
accuracy Of his memory was in this
case attested by the auctioneer's clerk,
who followed the recapitulation with
his book and found that in no case had
the man Of wonderful memory made a
single mistake.

The Ptarmigan.

There are few birds whose plumage
is so variable as the ptarmigan's.
Three times in the year its plumage
changes. 1t has separate coats for
spring, autumn and winter At the be-
ginning of November it puts on the last
costume Of the season. Its spring
brown and summer gray serve well to
hide 1t among the scanty heritage of its
haunts from the keen eye Of the soar
ing falcon.
