If God does not fit man for the
Christian ministry, not all the colleges
OF the world can.
1t is hard matter for a man who
eblieves as you do to carry his ideas
to the extreme where you will call
him a fanatic.
Don't trade a morsel of love for a
whole wagon-load of garbage. Some
of us have already done that to our
sorrow.

Original of .lnclc Toby"

Captain Roger Stcrne. the father e
the author Of '.Trstram Shandy,' w6s
the original of Uncle Toby. AS captain
of Chudleigh's regiment of foot, a
marching regiment ever on the move,
Roger Sterne and his family tasted the
most varied military and domestic ex-
periences in Flanders at Gibraltar and
finally at Jamaica, where the old cam
paigner died Of country fever A
simple minded, good natured, but shift

er bore his disappointment bravely and
carried his load Of debt with light
heart. My father" says Sterne. was
OF kindly, sweet disposition, void OF
all design and so innocent in his own
intentions that he suspected no one, so
that you might have cheated him ten
times day if nine had not been sufti-
cient for your purpose" Such char
ncter and such a father supplied the
germ from which the genius Of the son
developed his conception of one Of the
l1ost perfect and delightful portraits in
the gallery Of English fiction.

Tipping the Cook.

In old times 10 dine with nobleman
cost more in tips TO the servants than
q club dinner. Lord Poor, a we'll NAM
ed Irish peer, excused himself from
dining with the Duke of OrmOnd upon
the ground that he could not afford it.
IF you will give me the guinea have
to pay your cook. l will come as often
as you choose to ask me"-which was
accordingly done. The duke, however,
had not the pluck to stop the tipping
practice. Lord Taafe, a general officer
in the Austrian service, did what he
could He always attended his guests
to the door. When they put their
hands into their pockets he said: No.
If you do give it, give it to me, for
it was | who paid for your dinner
To Sir Timothy Waldo must be given
the credit of putting an end to the
INDUSTRIOUS practice. After dinner with
the Duke OF Newcastle he put crown
into the cooks hand. 1t was rejected.
Il do not take silver, sir Very good.
And | do not give gold" This cou-
rageous rejoinder caught on and
the day of walls to cooks was OVER

Sex and Rebirth.

The theories concerning the posi-
bility of our having previously existed
seem to be endless OF them all l think
the one best which suggests that sex is
reversed at rebirth and that when we
turn up cons after we previously ex-
listed we do so either as men or women
according to whether we were women
or men aforetime. This largely ac-
counts for the suffragette and for the
long haired. thin voiced creatures who
potter around bOudoirs, play the piano
like ''sweetly pretty things and call
themselves men. Presumably the best
material of which we We're fashioned
then is now used in our composition.
for the most manly women and effemi-
nate men generally have some good
points about them. But if one is to
keep on performing these Protean feats
through all ages it hardly seems worth
while worrying over sex problems. 1t
seems to me- in the long run, that we
shall each get about equal, according
to this arrangem0t.-Lond World.

The Remarkable RheR.

1.-THE rhea of South America is re-
markable bird" said an OrnithOlogist.
The male rhea matches out the eggs.
He and not the female is the setter.
He sets always in quiet and desolate
place, where there is no food, nothing
to attract enemies, and rs soon as the
young are born the question is how to
feed them. The rhea answers that
question in advance. Three or four
days before the eggs are to open he
shoves couple of them out Of the nest
with his bill and lays them in the sun.
What is the result? The result is that
the hot South African sun decOmpOses
The eggs. and the father breaks them
as the young birds begin to appear In
the nest, and the flies settle on them
and in twenty-four hours they are alive
with worms-tender, juicy delicious
worms, the best food in the world for
the nest of new born birdlings."

Tiger and EuIture of the Sea

If the killer" whale is 1.-The tiger of

of the ocean. In connection with whale
catching the author of this interesting
natural history article tells of the fol-

ResCues His Playmate Who Had Been
Carried Off i'm the River in
q Boat.

Milwaukee, April 6.-Albert Tester,
years old, narrowly escaped death in
the Kinnickinnic river here at night
and was rescued by Eddie BudsZis, s
years old, his playmate. The Tester
boy was amusing himself with short
rides up the river in q small Skiff and
was caught by the swift current and
carried out toward the lake. AS the
waves grew larger the boy shouted for
help.
Budszis, who was playing on the
shore, heard the screams, jumped into
small boat and padded rapidly to
his playmate. AS the BudSZiS boy start
ed the Tester boy fell overheard.
Bedszis reached Tester just in time to
grasp him by the collar as he was
coming up from under the water.
BudsZis' slight strength was not suf-
ficient, however. to drag the boy to
shore and he cried Justify for help. A
fisherman named anderson rescued
both of them.

Taking the Initiative.

There is 4 certain satisfaction in tax
ing the enemy unawares on his own
ground. in downing him with bis own
weapons. President Polk evidently
took comfort in his method for miti-
eating the hand shake. that curse or
the chief executive Office, and he must
have chuckled when he wrote in his
diary the bit which is given i'll James
Schouler's ''Historical Briefs"
If man surrendered his arm to be
shaken by one horizontally, by another
perpendicularly and by another with
a strong grip, he could not fail to suf-
fer severely by it. But if he would
shake and not be shaken, grip and not
be grlpped. taking care always to
squeeze the hand of his adversary as
hard as the adversary squeezed him,
he would suffer no Inconvenience by it..
I can generally anticipate strong grip
from q strong man. [ take advantage
of him by being quicker than he and
