Napoleon as "a Bogy Man.

Thackeray once saw Napoleon on the
island of st. Helena. The novelist-he
was born in Calcutta in 1S11-was on
ship touched at an island where my
black servant took me for long walk
over rocks and hills until we saw a
man walking in a garden. That is he
said the black man; that Is Bonaparte

the only person Of the time to believe

his wife, You know perfectly well
that l don't like that man" Don't
you think you are little unreason-
able?" asked the wife. Your dislike
arose because he did not answer a

afterward that the letter was hung up
all summer in the pocket Of your over

"Yes, l know that" was the rejoinder,

Politeness is perhaps instructive with
some, but with the majority it is a
matter of training of the slow and care
full discipline of voice and eye and
carriage. Under this training all the
angles Of personal vanity and self con
seriousness are rubbed off, the person
becomes adorned with grace, ease, gen
tleness and simplicity, and what may
seem to the unframed observer as the
perfection of naturalness may be sim
ply the perfection of culture.

A little English girl wrote the fol
lowing essay on cat: THE cat is a
square quadruped, and, as is custom
airy with square quadrupeds, has its
legs at the four corners. If you want
to please this animal you must stroke
it on the back. If 1t is very much
pleased it sets up its tail quite stiff,
like a ruler, SO that your hand cannot
get any farther. The cat is said to
have nine lives, but in this country 1t
seldom needs them all because Of
Christianity"

We had hoped to get more material
concerning the earlier schools and

indebted to Prof. F. j. Mantz, the

not only the education but the tact
necessary for a successful teacher.

with crimson cheeks. She cast down
her brown eyes and talked fast. You'll

of it. Yesterday l wanted to go, as you

One girl mewed. Another COughed.
"All right! You can sneer if you want
to. But listen This morning about
eleven o'clock l was packing my suitcase
to go with you, when suddenly my
mothers face came before me just like
that l can see her in a navy-blue
cloth suit wi'-l big hat and her veil
blowing back, and she said, just as
clearly as L am speaking now: Iris!

followed lack and me to YOnkers. She
was dressed just as Iris says, and we
thought she looked like you, Iris. She
looked as though she had been crying.
"Crying?" cried Iris. Why, what
could she have been doing at Yonkers?"
Maybe" said Babe timidly, maybe
she overheard what we were saying"
"Oh, no, she couldn't" said Iris. 1t
must have been somebody else you saw.

said Buy the candy, Babe, and I'll

At ha1f-past three o'clock Mrs. Chester
was in her room staring at the little gilt
clock which licked away on her dressing
table. She did not realize it, but her
face was strained and white and her
clenched hands were cold and trembling,
rose and went to the window. Every
cab which came in sight she watched
with a sickening anxiety. Once she saw
a suitcase on top of a cab and gray
dress within. Her heart gave a bound;
but the cab ratified on, passed her door
and was lost to sight. Twenty minutes
to fourl Perhaps there were no cabs.
She would give Iris until four.

now in. Iris might have come on either.
Her fears were agonizing, but still she
could not think of Iris on this mad esca-

the delay. Her mothers heart trusted
in a pair of steady brown eyes with long
black lashes and a tender yet resoIute

GREAT CHANGE
From Change in Food.

The brain depends much rnCre on the
stomach than we al 9 apt 20 suppose
until we take thought i'll the matter.
Feed the stomach on proper food easy

amount Of phosphates and the healthy
brain will respond 10 all demands. a
notable housewife in Buffalo writes:
The doctor diagnosed my trouble as a
nervous affection of the stomach / was
actually so nervous that l cau!d not sit
still for five minutes to read the news

duties was simply impossible / doctored
all the time with remedies, but medicine

Ny physician put me on all sorts of

foods, but none of them agreed with me.
l was almost discouraged, and when
tried GrapeNuts 1 did so with many
nisglv!ngs-I had no faith that it would
succeed where everything else had

"But it did 81. .ceed. and you don't

Now why was this great change made
in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind OF

folly TO try to dc this with medicine
There is but one sure way and that is
to quit the old food that has failed and

Mayor Thus Hopes to Re-

LONDON, May 16.-The increase in
the mortality among babies in London
has of late assumed such appalling
proportions that it has become an alb

thing to prevent 1t. Statistics show
that during last year more than 10000
babies died, and nearly all of these
might have been saved had they had
proper attention and unadulterated

The work of saving child life has
become a municipal duty, but while the
London authorities are still consider

poration Of Huddersffeld, representing
q district almost entirely inhabited by
the laboring class, has shown the way.
The alderman, who is now mayor of
the corporation, offered when he took
Office that he would give prize of 50
for every baby born during his term
which lived TO grow twelve months old.
He has now fifty-one babies on his
list fourteen Of whom were born dur
ing last month But, not satisfied with
this. he prepared a scheme TO have the
corporation provide a day nursery for
all children whose mothers were unable
TO look after them because they had to
work in factories His plan was strong

If it be g success the city Of London
will very soon begin to build similar
nurseries on a larger scale in all the
densely populated labor districts where
infant mortality is the highest.
