Your Own Body.

Think deliberately of the house you
live in-your body. Make up your
mind not to abuse 1t. 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 it. If you feel
the first symptoms, give yourself hero
ic treatment. Get into q 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 it. Study deeply and diligent-
ly the structure Of it. the laws that
should govern it, the pains and penal
ties that will surely follow a violation
OF every law of life or health.

Ampere and the Donkey.

The elder Ampere, for a time pro.
fessor in the College of France, was
kind, but hot tempered, and occasional
ly gave way to outbursts of which he
Instantly repented. Once at an exam
ination some mistaken response of a
student led him to exclaim. You are
a donkey"
The student was as hot blooded as
he. IT'S you who are the donkey"
he shouted back.
By this time Ampere's anger was all
gone, and the philosopher and gentle
man asserted himself perhaps 1t is,"
he answered. but nevertheless 1 i'm
agine that If you begin your demon
stration anew you will recognize the
fact that you are mistaken"
The student recommended his demon
stration, discovered his mistakes and
acknowledged that he was wrong.
And now, my dear boy said the
professor, you see that l am not a
donkey and tEat you are not one either.
l had no right to call you by the name
Of that animal, which, however, is so
patient. cnIn faithful and laDorious a
creature that l am not sure but II
was he whom you and were insulting
just now and not each other."-Pall

"In the Days of Scott" there are two
anecdotes about Sir Walter Scott's
children in connection with his poem,
'The Lady of the Lake"
One day his daughter was met by
James Ballantyne, 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 as reading bad
poetry"
Scott's son Walter returned from
school one day with evidences of hav-
ing been engaged in a fight His ia
ther asked him what he had been fight
Ing about. He replied that he had been
called ''lassie" and had resented II.
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
