The Lady of the Lake.

I'm the Days of Scott" there are two
anecdotes about Sir Walter SCOTS
children In connection with his poem
THE Lady of the Lake"
One daJ his daughter was met by
James Baliantyne. the publisher, In
her fathers library and asked what
she thought of the poem. She replied
that she had not read it and added:
Papa says there Is nothing SO bad
for young people rs reading bad
poetry"
SCOTS son Walter returned from
school one day with evidences of hay.
Ing been engaged in fight. His ia.
ther asked him what he had been fight
Ing about. He replied that he had been
called ''lassie" and had resented 1t.
a little questioning showed that
young Walters schooolfellows had
nicknamed him THE Lady OF the
Lake" which name the boy did not
understand except as a reproach to
his manliness.

Your Own BODY.

Think deliberately OF the house you
live in-your body. Make up your
mind not to abuse It. Eat nothing
that Will hurt it; wear nothing that
distorts or pains It, Do not overload
1t with victuals or drink or work.
Give yourself regular and abundant
sleep. Keep your body warmly clad.
At the first signal OF danger from any
of the thousand enemies that surround
you defend yourself. DO not take cold
guard yourself against 1t. If you feel
the first symptoms, give yourself hero
lie treatment. Get into n fine glow of
heat by exercise. This is the only
body you Will ever have in this world.
A large share of pleasure and pain Of
life will come through the use you
make OF 1t. Study deeply and dlligent-
ly the structure Of 1t, the laws that
should govern It. the pains and penal
ties that will surely follow violation
Of every law OF life or health.

The joys Of Relic Huntino.

Quite apart from the beauty and in
trinsic worth of such things. 1t is as
tonlshing on looking back on ones ex-
periences of collecting to realize how
much pleasure one has got out OF even
dilettnnte quest of antiques. The ex-
Vibrating joy Of this treasure hunt, the
finding of the treasure the bargaining
FOR 1t and the final bearing of 1t home
In triumph, unwrapping it and dis
cussing its beauties and merits, arc
things which add Zest to life. And. ms
the taste for beautiful old things is
more or less mn acquired one and can
be cultivated. this is n JOY In which
most people who are fortunate enough
TO have little spare cash and little
spare time can share.-London Tatler.
