MODERN WORK WILL NOT LAST
Newspapers and Books Printed To
Day Have Short Lives.

The men who wrote history on
tablets Of stone in ages gone had a
difficult task to perform, and had to
cultivate the habit Of brevity,' says
= writer In a German paper, "but
what they wrote was preserved It will
be different with the newspapers and
books of the present time. The paper
upon which they are printed will dis
integrate in a few years, and the
records, historical scientific and liter
airy, will become dust. l saw two
papers last week which told the
whole story One contained an &C
count Of the death of Napoleon Bona
parte It was printed in 1921, was in
state of perfect preservation, and
looked as though It might last, with
ordinary care. hundred years. The
other paper was kept because its
leading article described the surren-
der of Sedan, which had taken place
. day before. Although it had been
printed nearly so years later, the
Sedan paper had to be handled care

Presence of Mind.

In very few cases is presence OF
mind a natural gift. Some people
there are, doubtless, to whom it comes
naturally and by instinct to do the
right thing at the right time and
place; but they are few in number
Then, again, some people are by ma
ture cooler-headed than their neigh
bors, and do not shout or otherwise
become useless just when their ser
vices are required. But this quiet com
posture, though very valuable, is not
quite the same thing as presence OF
mind The latter consists not only
in having your wits ready for use,
but in knowing how to use them, and
being sufficiently calm and steady in
mind to remember and turn to account
that knowledge. From the earliest pos
sible age children should be taught
self-control, and the instinct of trying
to remedy any mistake or accident
they may encounter.
