Where the Patch Belongs.

A New Englander recently had occa-
sion to engage a gardener. One morn
ing two applicants appeared-one de-
cidedly decent looking man, and the
other of much less prepossessing ap-
earance and manner.
After very little hesitation, the man

ant.
4 friend who was present, evinced
surprise at the selection, asking:
Has that man ever worked for you
before"
NO." replied the other; sin fact,
never saw either of them until to-day"
"Then why did you choose the short
er man? The other had a much bet
ter face"
Face" exclaimed the proprietor of
the place, in disgust. LET me tell you
that, when you pick out a gardener,
young want to go by his overalls. If
they're patched on the knees you want
him. If the patch is on the seat of his
trousers, you don't."-Success Maya

"Do THIS ONE THING"

Whatever you do, do it. The Latins
had phrase which said: Hoe Age.
it means: DO this one thing" Be
thorough. What is thOroughness? 1t
is painstaking ambition.
1t is easy enough to say: II will rise.
l will get ahead. l will be somebody.
l will make use Of my talents" The
world is full of men who have sald
this, and then never rose, never got
ahead, never were anybody and never
attained a position where they could
make use of their natural abilities.
How many men do you know who
are making failures of their livesE
They excuse themselves by saying !:
THE world is against me-" Don't be-
lieve it. Those men are the shirkers.
They are the ones who were ambitious
without the character to be true to
themselves. Ambition without effort is
like jewel Of gold in a pig-sty.

fury Law Student.
If law students of the present day
are laboring under the delusion that
when the world was younger there was
less law to study and more relaxation
for young men of their class, let them
read the following extract that an
English contemporary has taken from
the Memoirs of Henri de Mesmes,"
descriptive of a days work of a law
student at Toulouse in the sixteenth
century:
GIVE used to rise from bed at 4
o'clock, and, having prayed to God, we
went at 5 o'clock to our studies, our
big books under our arms, our ink
horns and candles in our hands. We
heard all the lectures without inter
mission till 10 o'clock rang. Then we
dined after having hastily compared
during a half hour our notes of the
lectures.
After dinner we read as a recrea-
ton SOphocles or AristOphanes or Eu-
ripides and sometimes Demosthenes,
Cicero, Virgil or Horace. At l o'clock
to our studies. at back to our dwell
ing places, there to 80 over and verify
passages cited in the lectures until g.;

Greek or Latin.

and vespers; the rest of the days, a

The Old Timers Apparently Did

I'VE are losing all our secrets in this
shabby age" an architect said. IF
we keep on, the time will come when
We'll be able to do nothing well.
Take, for instance, steel. We claim
to make good steel, yet the blades the
Saracens turned out hundreds Of years
ago would cut one of our own blades
in two like butter.
''Take ink. Our modern ink fades
in five or ten years to rust color, yet
the ink of medieval manuscripts is as
black and bright to-day as it was 700
years ago.
Take dyes. The beautiful blues and
reds and greens of antique oriental
rugs have all been lost, while in
Egyptian tombs we find fabrics dyed
thousands Of years ago that remain to-
day brighter and purer in hue than
any Of our modern fabrics.
Take my speciality, buildings. We
can't build as the ancients did. The
secret of their mortar and cement is
lost to us. Their mortar and cement
were actually harder and more durable
than the stones they bound together,

Most Wonderful Cave in the World,

Most Wonderful Cave in the World.
The most wonderful cave in the
world is in the island of Tonga, in the
south Pacific. Byron called it "a
chapel of the seas" 1t is formed in a
rock that is almost surrounded by the
ocean. This rock is about sixty feet
high and broad prOportionately.
Many years ago boy, the son of
a native chief, was chasing a huge
turtle, when his game seemed to sink
into the rock. The lad watched and
waited until the tide fell, disclosing a
small opening in the rock about six
feet under low water mark. Diving
boldly, the young hunter entered the
aperture and, to his surprise, came to
the surface inside the rock. The rock
was hollow, and its interior was found
afterward, when the natives explored
it with torches, to contain many beau
tifuI stalactites When attacked and
followed by enemies, the natives, who
know the secret, leave >their canoes
plunge into the water, and disappear
Their foes linger, astonished at their
disappearance, for no person not &C
uuainted with it would suspect that the
rock was hollow.

Eject of Their Warn Drink In the
Morning.
"a year ago 1 was a wreck from cof-
fee drinking and was on the point OF
giving up my position in the school
room because of nervousness.
81 was telling a friend about 1t and
she said, We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum Food Coffee, and it is
such a comfort to have something we
can enjoy drinking with the children
II was astonished that she would al
low the children to drink any kind OF
coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as we'll as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be a fact.
MY first trial was a failure. The
cook boiled it four or five minutes and
it tasted so fat that 1 was in despair
but determined to give it one more
trial This time we followed the direc-
tions and boiled it fifteen minutes af-
ter the boiling began. 1t was a decided
success and l was completely won by
its rich delicious favour. In a short
time 1 noticed a decided Improvement
in my condition and kept growing bet
ter and better month after month, until
now am perfectly healthy, and do my
work in the school room with ease and
pleasure. 1 would not return to the
nerve-destroying regular coffee for any
money"

trouble
The fact that a second ceremony
positively united Jackson and the
daughter of Col. John DoDelson, was
ignored in the gossip attendant upon
the lives of the parties, and in the
campaign for the presidency made by
Jackson, his enemies made much
capital of the situation Just as she
was preparing to leave for Washing
ton to rule as mistress of the eXecu.

a gathering of women in a room ad-
