AGAINST the Bell.

The young man, who was making a
call, had said he would have to be 60
ing and they we're standing just out
side the front door having a final lit
tie chat. He was leaning against the
house talking in subdued tones. 1t
was then 1870 o'clock. They had
been there ten minutes perhaps, when
suddenly man in pajamas appeared
at the door.
Father" said the girl in tone
that showed modification, why are
you down here looking that way? Are
you walking in your s-eep?'
The father looked at the young
man. George" he said, "I've never
complained about how. late you have
staid here talking to Mary. and I'm
not going to kick about that to-right,
but for goodness sake stop leaning
against that doorbell! You've got the
whole family awake!"-Kansas City

Sam wanfed To Save Them.

Sam Wanted to Save Them.
Sam wilkins was messenger to a
firm of solicitors in Salem. One thing
which puzzled Sam greatly was the
telephone. How the wonderful appar
atus worked was more than he could
fathom.
Recently a fire broke out in one of
the offices, and soon became so serious
that everybody was ordered out of the
building. Sam went with the rest, but
suddenly an idea struck him and he
rushed back through smoke and flames
to the telephone room. Frantically he
Knocked on the mahogany box. Hi!
Hi! Come out of that" he cried, 1.-The
place is all on fire, and you'll be
roasted alive if you don't hustle out"

Cured Younuster of SMOKING.

A wise mother caught her little boy
smoking cigarette the other day. In
stead of inverting him over her knee
and nearly spanking the life out OF
him, she said; ! Johnny, dear. ] see
you are getting quite big little man,
Come away In and I'll give you one OF
papa's great big black cigars to
smoke" So she marched Johnny into
papa'a study and set him down to
smoke one Of papa's cigars. She sat
down opposite and watched while his
lips grew white and his eyes yellow
and his handv dropped hopelessly, and
4 llttlo later, aS she miniStored TO him
with o basin, she had the satisfaction
Of receiving his vehement promise
that he would never never smoke q
cigarette again In his life. isi Il 84

A New Hampshire Samaritan.

My wife and children are spending
the summer up in the southern part
of New Hampshire, where the follow
ing story comes from, says writer in
the Boston Herald. A short time ago
the lady with whom my wife is stay
ing and her mother went berrying. It
was a torrid day, and, becoming thir'
sly, they called at farmhouse, and
when an old farmer came out one of
the ladies asked for some water to
drink. The farmer said he was very
sorry, but he could not give them any,
as his we'll was very low, and he had
hardly enough water for his livestock
The lady replied: well, you ought
to have been here when Jesus was on
earth, as you would have made good

DOING THE MOST FOR OTHERS.
Surest of All Ways to Bring Bright
ness Into Our Lives.


ness Into Our Lives.
Se1fshness is darkness. It shuts
us up in the tight little box of our own
lives. Unselfishness gives us a wide
circle of interest and delight. What
we do for others has much to do
with our happiness as what we get for
ourselves Just think how. many joys
a man may have who is not confined
to his own reasons for rejoicing! Re-
member how Jeanie Deans blessed the
good lady who helped her, saying:
when the hour Of trouble comes
and seldom may it visit your leddyship
and when the day Of death comes,
that comes to high and low-lang and
late may it be yours, O my lady! then
it isna what we haze done for our:
selves, but what. we haze done for
ithers. that we think of most pleas.
antly." And this truth is for all hours,
though it be most clearly manifested
in the hour Of extremity. Doing the
most for others. is doing the best for
ourselves. If you have never made
another life bright. you know not how
much brightness can come into your
own.-Montreal Herald.

ure cut on the side ,of a lofty hill that
overlooks the picturesque village of
Cerne Abbas, eight miles north of
Dorchester. It Is several years since
the burrows which outline the giants
figure were secured and refined with
chalk Gradually the latter has been
washed away by the winter rains, and
IT isa now barely visible. Grass has

seen from distance, the details of the
gigantic figure are hard to trace,
though the uncouth human form Is
still recognizable. The "Old Man. as
he, Is styled by the natives Of Cerne
.Abbas, Is built on truly heroic lines.
He stands 1870 feet high, and his right
hand grasps knotted club 12l feet
long. The unknown artist had his
own notions of the just proportions of
the human frame, as will be seen from
the following further measurements:
Length Of body, II feet; legs, 80 'eet |;
head, 22 feet: right arm. 100 feet:
nose, 6 feet: diameter of eyes, 2A feet,
The antiquity Of the figure is &C.

is that it was the work Of the monks

abbey of Cerne. Some color is given
to this theory by the existence of a
similar figure at Wilmington in Sus

Visitor Thinks islanders Dwell Too
Much on Physical Ills.
A German publicist who spent a
part of the summer in boarding
house at Teignmouth, England, says:
English seaside visitors display most
remarkable ingenuity in sustaining a
lengthy conversation founded on no
other topic than the weather. When
this is exhausted they turn to their
aches and pains; each individual adj
duces some striking examples of bod
lily suffering on his or her part and
the combined ailments of the COM
pany afford themes for endless discus.
sion.
Next in popularity to the remark,
Hotter than ever came the question,
How is your lumbago?' and the 1um-
bago of most of the visitors was,
regret to say, very bad. must, how
ever, warn my travelling fellow-coun-
trymen that English anatomy ends
with the diaphragm. The mention of
the stomach, even, is not permissible
in polite circles. There is, however,
one striking exception to this rule
the liver may be discussed at all and
sundry seasons.
Full advantage is taken of the con.
cession and the vagaries of this organ
supply the basis of many lengthy if
somewhat monotonous discourse. Half
the ills of the Anglo-SaXOn race are
attributed to the liver and wherever
one goes the eye is cheered with ad-
vertisements of nostrums to correct
that norton of the human Frame
