Self Improvement.

Self Improvement.
Is it asked how can the laboring man
find time for self culture? I answer
that an earnest purpose finds time or
makes it. 1t seizes on spare moments
and turns fragments to golden ac-
count. A man who follows his calling
with industry and spirit and uses his
earnings economically will always
have some portion of the day at COM
mand. And it is astonishing how
fruitful Of improvement short season
becomes when eagerly seized and
faithfully used. A single hour in the
day steadily given to the study of some
interesting subject brings unexpected
Accommodations Of knowIedge.-William

billed to play "Ingomar," the costumes
were delayed by railway accident.
The manager was equal to the situa

the sheep and COW hides he could to
dress up his supers. When McCul-
Tough came on the stage that night he
fell back appalled, by the stencil of the
