A Fable That Points a Moral With .
Large Grain Of Truth.
There was once a Rich and Stingy
old Bachelor who had Two Nephews
And one, being Hypocrite, said in his
Heart: "All men are Mortal, and this
One must Die some time, although un.
fortunately his Doctor understands his
Case. SO l will Pretend to Love my
Uncle and Bear with him and Tend
him with Great Care and Tender AS
siduity" But the Other Nephew, who
was blunt and Honest in his Feelings
said to All Whom it Did not Concern
'NVhy should pretend to Care for My
Uncle when 1 Don't and Play the Hypo
critic? He cannot but Respect my N
dependence the More then than if
Fawned upon him."
One day the Uncle died when it Sud
denly occurred to him that he was
Spending too much Breath. To the
Nephew who Was Hvpocrite he left
his Fortune and to the One who Did
not Conceal his Real feeling he Left his
Regards.

GENIUS AND INSANITY.

DR.. George M. Gould, a noted OPP
tnalmologist, has recently contributed
to the world a discussion of the alleged
connection of genius and insanity
which Indignantly rejects the accepted
relation and throws the responsibility
for the sufferings of men of genius not
upon a defect in their intellectual de-
velopment, but upon eye strain. The
key to De Quinceys suffering was re-
fieX neurosis In the case of CARLYLE
whose indigestion is scorned by DR..
Gould las a blunder of diagnosis dis
torting our whole view of man. the
painter could not help carrying to the
canvas the exhausted look in the eyes
OF all the later portraits of the sage
of Chelsea.
Carlyle's real disposition was sweet,
mild and kind. Eye strain-not indi-
gestion-soured him. The more sensi-
tive the nature of the man, says DR..
Gould, the more the reflex tends to be
cerebral. The more resistant the
mans nature the more the reflex from
eye strain tends to be digestional
Huxley and Carlyle would have indi-
gestion. On the other hand Robert
Browning would and did have chiefly
cerebral reflex from eye strain Like
De Quincy, Carlyle, Darwin and Hulk
ley never suspected the cause of their
life's tragedy.
The explosion of the delusion that
genius and insanity are allied is to be
attributed. according to Dr. Gould to
one of the greatest discoveries of re-
cent s-astygmatism. The dis
easse called biliousness, headache,
dyspepsia and by many other names
are the result of astygmatic conditions
in the eyes-eye strain-anG not of or
ganic disease. the oculist can cure
| dyspepsia not by dosing the stomach
but by relieving the strain upon the
eyes

might have remained sweet and kind

MENTAL ATTITUDE.
Il Has Much to Do With Winning
Success In Life.

Success In Life.
The mental attitude which we al
ways hold toward our work or our aim
has everything to do with what we
may accomplish. If you go to your
work with the attitude of slave who
goes dashed to his. task and see in it
only drudgery; if you work without
hope, seeing no future in what you are
doing beyond getting bare living; if
you see no light ahead, nothing but
poverty, deprivation and hard work
all your life; if you think that you
were destined to such hard lie, you
cannot expect anything else than that
which you look for.
If, on the other hand, no matter how
poor you may be today, you can see
better future; if you believe that some
day you are going to rise out of hum
drum work, that you are going to get
up out of the basement of life into the
drawing room, where beauty, comfort
and joy await you; if your ambition is
Clean cut and you keep your eye stead
lily upon the goal which you hope to
reach and feel confident that you have
the ability to attain it, you will accom-
plish something worth while The di-
rection Of your effort will follow your
eye. If that looks up as we'll as on,
you will climb.
That one quality of holding persist
emily the faith in themselves and new
er allowing anything to weaken the be-
lief that somehow they would accom-
plish what they undertook has been the
underlying principle of all great
achievers. The great majority of men
and women who have given civilization
a great uplift started poor and for
many dark years saw no hope Of &C.
complishing their ambition, but they
kept on working and believing that
somehow way would be opened.
Think of what this attitude Of hopeful
ness and faith has done for the worlds
great inventors how most Of them
plodded on through many years of dry,
dreary drudgery before the light came,
and the light would never have come
but for their faith, hope and persistent
endeavOr.
What if they had listened to their
advisers! Even those who loved them
tried to beg them to give up the fool
ishness Of coming their lives into that
which would never be practical or use
full. We are enjoying today thousands
Of blessings, comforts and conveniences
which have been bequeathed US by
those resolute souls who were obliged
often to turn deaf ear to the plead
ings Of those they loved best as they
struggled on amid want and woe for
many years.-Success.

CHRISTMAS.

Negroes consider Christmas day the
best in the year for a wedding.
Christmas was first celebrated as a
feast Of the Christian church about the
year 100 A. D.
At Culdaff, in Ireland, the game of
kamman, a sort of hockey, is played on
Christmas day.
A leaf from Christmas decorations is
preserved in Yorkshire as a remedy
against toothache.
Scottish servants each endeavor to be
the first to draw water from the well
on Christmas morning.
1t is an old Irish superstition that
gold should not be paid away on
Christmas day nor silver lent.
Christmas day at Cape Town is usual
ly celebrated with picnics. The tenn
perature averages 80 degrees.
On Christmas morning in Norway
every gateway, gable or barn door is
decorated with a sheaf Of corn fixed on
a tall pole in order that the birds may
eat from it their Christmas dinner

NEVER TOUCHED THEM.

HFashiOn Notes For Men" Failed to
Produce Anything Startling.
After Mrs. Ponsonby had talked about
dressmakers and dressmaking until Mr..
Ponsonby was weary, and when Mrs.
Darlington had for more than two solid
hours discussed gowns, hats, wraps,
corsets and feminine apparel in general,
Arthur Ponsonby flicked the ashes from
his cigar and, turning to Darlington,
asked:

buy your shirts?'
Il always get them at Creighley's."

Most Costly Carriage.

Originally costing something more
than $1,000, the lord mayors coach, still
used in the annual procession, has
probably had more money expended
upon it than any horse drawn vehicle
in the world. 1t Is something like 80
years old, and in that time more than
100000 has been spent in refurnishing
it for the sole occasion when it is made
use Of each year. A more modern
coach could be had for the sum Of five
years repairs, but a new coach would
never seem the same to the London
public who line the Strand on the occa-
sion Of the November parade. 1t Is
probable that the lord mayor Of cen
fury hence will ride in the same eQui-
page, though, like the Irishman's knife,
it has been repaired so often that prac-
tically nothing of the original coach re-
mains.

THE DANDEulON,
e AdApts Itself to All Soils and ca.
mates of the Earth.

The dandelion belongs to the largest,
Oldest and most widely diffused order
Of plants. While other orders Of plants
have died out and become mere fossil
remains in the rocks, this order has
survived the geological changes Of
many different periods on account Of
its power Of adapting itself to those
changes. And these changes in their
tu.n have only made it better suited
for all the varied soils and climates of
the earth at the present day.
We find members Of this order in
every part of the globe, in places as
far apart from each other as they
cai be- It is the prevailing and DOM
inant order of vegetable life, the most
highly finished and the most success
fus family of plants. And the dande-
lion is one of the most perfect forms
belonging TO it.
It is the head and crown Of the vege-
table Kingdom, as man is the head and
crown of tae animal creation, and it is
curious how this highest type Of plant
is always found only where man, the
highest type of animal life. Is found
and. where he dwells and cultivates the
soil. It is never found apart from
him. 1t follows him wherever he goes
to America, Australia and New Zea-
land-and there in the new home it be-
comes a silent but eloquent reminder
of the dear old land he may never see
again.-EXchange

DEPEW AND HILL COMPARED.

The sudden recovery of health on the
mart of David Bennett Hill soon after
the Armstrong committee adjourned
and the haste which he made to de-
mand an investigation of his Equitable
retainers by the state bar association,
show that in parting company with
politics Mr. Hill did not part COM
pany with all his shrewdness. He saw
how the other "retainees" We're being
bowled over by Mr.. Hughes and he
had no taste for that kind of a person.
al experience. Therefore he was sick
and could not be gotten before the
committee, but the minute it adjourned
Mr. Hill was before the bar association
with a demand for an investigation.
Mr. Hill is not unaware of the fact
that retainers sometimes look different
to lawyers from what they do to the
public. The retainer may be earned
in many ways to the satisfaction of the
lawyer when the public might take an
entirely different view of the case. The
lawyer would look only to see whether
the brother attorney had rendered SER
vices. The public would be glad to
know the circumstances under which
the retainer was accepted, whether
there was need of services being per-
formed and whether the position of
the attorney in the political world did
not have something to do with his
being singled out to be retained
From this standpoint Mr. Hill could
make a better showing than Senator
Depew. 1t was a fact that Mr. Hill
was a practicing attorney who made
his income by appearing in the courts
1t was a fact that Depew was a rail-
road man, and had given little or no
attention to the practice of law for
years. 1t was also a fact that the
retainers paid Mr. Hill were slight
compared with those Depew pushed
into his pocket
But if Mr.. HILL with the moral ad-
vantage his case presented over that
for Depew, feared to go before the
committee, it is evidence that these
fee grabbers have very little to stand
upon.
The most that Hill could expect to
get would be a professional verdict
from mis- fellows at the bar that he did
perform services and that they were
worth whatever was mutually agreed
upon for them. Mr. Hills vindication
by the state bar association could not
under any circumstances be any bet
ter or any worse than Depew's ac-
quittal by the state senate on the
ground that he mad been grand old
man before he was found out and had
made so many good speeches for the
republican party without pay that
they, the senators. were glad he got
the money.

To Make q Canary Sing.

Generally any kind of SOFT sibilant
noise will tempt bird to sing. A ca
nary hung in a kitchen will usually
start his song If he hears, say, the friz-
cling Of a frying pan. We utilize spe-
cial devices to tempt the shy singer,
who is perhaps rendered the more bash
full by finding himself in novel sur
roundings. For this purpose we en-
ploy whistles and song organs, which
artifcially reproduce the tours" Of the
roller. This latter method is found to
be irresistible when all other plans have
failed. The bird feels apparently that
he is being challenged and forthwith
responds to the challenge by pouring
forth the best Of his song. - London
