A boys idea Of hero is another

Nothing is so often overestimated as
the informatOD given confidentially
As a ruln. what man calls his

You may have forgotten more than
the other man knows and still be a

The man who is scared into being
good is the one most likely to boast
of his exceeding virtue.
There are lots of ways Of wasting
time. Feeling sorry for yourself brings
about as little returns as any.

Granted that it is the will Of God
that we shall remain on earth and live
our appointed lives there, it is essential
that mankind should feel the dread Of
death. Without that dread the world
could hardly remain peopled The
dread of death is to the sonl what the
law Of gravity is to the body 1t an
chors us to the earth Without that
dread to weigh us down and keep US to
the globe half mankind would be driv-

by the dread Of ennui, by what Bacon
calls "niceness and safety" to push
open the closed door and see what is
beyond. Children and few very hap

THE POOH CAT.

One oceasion When che Animal Did
Not Come Back,
When the cat died the whole family
went into mourning. fguratively il not
literally. No common back door cat
this, but one that must be buried with
all honor The question was how and
where.
Some one proposed cremation, but
this was rejected on the ground that
it sounded too much like lynchlng It
was finally proposed that the father.
who had to cross a ferry every day to
his place Of business, should drop It
overheard, and as a burial at sea rath-
er appealed to the sentimental attitude
Of the family this idea was received
favorahly.
The following morning the remains
Of the cat were made into q package
and securely tied. It was a lovely day,
and the ferryboat was crowded with
passengers, and what had seemed so
simple at home assumed unexpected
difficulties in the face Of a curious
crowd, ready to imagine anything and
to put the worst construction on an ap-
parently mysterious action.
Finally it occurred to the father that
the best time would be the evening,
and he could slip the cat overheard
without attracting notice in the dusk.
Through the day 1t occupied a corner
of his office, and he was glad whel the
time came for the return trip.
He waited until the boat was well
out in the stream and then. gIancing
around furtively, laid his hand on the
package Suddenly it struck him what
would seem strange in broad daylight
would seem doubly so at night
With a smothered groan he replaced
1t on the seat beside him. There was
no help for it-he would have to carry
1t home again.
AS he took his seat in the train that
was to convey him the rest of the way
he placed the seat on the shelf above
his head and for the first time that
day forgot all about it. Hurrying to
get off the car when he reached his
destination he was halted by some one
behind him. wSo thrust into bis hand
the III fated package.
When he reached his house he threw
it down on chair in the hall and went
in to supper. In the middle of it the
maid came in and asked how she
should cook the meat he had brought
with him?'
"Meatw he exclaimed. "That isn't

But at this moment the maid pro
duced the package and showed him q
choice piece Of meat. History does not
say what the man said who got the

SINKING FUNDS.
They Originated In a Scheme Devised
BY Lord Stanhope.

They Originated In a Scheme Devised
by Lord stanhope.
The general public has no idea o.
the meaning of sinking fund" The
term had its origin in a scheme de-
vised by Lord Stanhope in 1715 where
by certain taxes on the South Sea
Bubble) and general funds were made
perpetual, and it was enacted that the
surplus should be annually invested
and applied to the discharge of the na-
tional debt. BY means Of 1t between
the years 1716 and 1888 the sum Of
$52. .240,000 of the debt was actually
discharged So rich became the sink
ing fund that it excited the cupidity
Of parliament, and the grafters laid
violent hands on it, divertlng it to
other purposes, so that in the succeed
ing twenty-five years only $42,500000
more had been paid Off.
The fund got into condition so
wretched that it did little in time OF
peace and nothing In time Of war to
discharge the nau0nal DEBT. Dr. Price
persuaded William Pitt to adopt his
plan of investing $5.0O0,0O0 every year
at compound interest until with the ac-
cumulations the sum amounted to 500
100000, when 1t was to be invested al
simple interest only, leaving the
amount of interest annually redeemed
at the disposal of parliament. DR.
Price said: let a state be supposed
to run in debt $10,000,0O0 a year, 70.
which it pays interest at per cent
In seventy years a debt of 100000
600 would be incurred But an appro
priation Of 100000 a year employed
as sinking fund at compound inter
est would at the end of this time leave
the nation beforehand $4,000, 900" -

What verdi Did With the Key Of a
Locked Piano.
Not all the great composers have
courted the constant aduIatIon Of the
world. Verdi used to lament that he
was unable to find refuge, even for
brief space. from the reputation that
preceded him wherever he went.
AT one time he desired to spend a
much needed holiday at the watering
place Of Montecatini. When he arrived,
he found that in one of the apart
ments assigned to him stood grand
piano of noted make On the rack,
by way of compliment, lay the score Of
I'll Trovatore" AS soon as he caught
sight of it the veteran few into a rage,
hastily locked the instrument threw
the score into a corner and. calling fer
his host, demanded in tragic tones;
Lead me to the spot that oyerhangs
the steepest precipicer'
Wondering. the host did as he was
hidden, and on reaching the summit
the maestro, who was almost exhaust
ed from fatigue, flung the key Of the
piano into the abyss, energetically ex-
claiming as he did so:

cure rest and quiet On the day Of my

The brave doctor and his men had

nothing more than to lie down and die.
One Of the black servants lay down
also. Solan6er declared himself willing

The Women's Missionary Society had
a we'll attended session yesterday and
a good meeting. A number were
present who had not been accustomed
to come.
The work in the Sunday School is
flourishing these days in spite Of the
summer weather and vacations. A
few weeks ago about thirty of the
pupils received gold pins for having
been present for whole year without
missing unless sick or attending
school elsewhere. The average attep-
dance for July and August is SO. A
contest in attendance is on with Lisbon
and Glendale. Thus far Lisbon is
ahead. Let all members of the school
make special effort to be present the
next six weeks and raise our score.
On next Sunday the regular services
will be held morning and evening.
There will be special music during
the evening service. All are invited to
come for an hour beginning at eight
o'clock.
