Fat Men and Jobs.

Employment agents say it's about as
hard to get work for fat man as for a
gray-haired one According to their
statements, employers of labor hold that a
fat man is indolent. They assert that the
hustler, the fast, nervous, energetic work.
er, is sinewy rather than fat, and does 80
per cent. more work than the soft, fat
fellow. "It is not uncommon for us to
advise fat applicants to diet, said an
employment agent, "and reduce their
weight before beginning to canvass for a
job So far as recorded, DR.. Osler has
expressed no opinion on the expediency of
chloroforming men who are running to
adipose tissue.

A young farm laborer called one market
day at the registrars Office to record his
fathers death. The registrar asked the
date of death.
"Well, father amt dead yet,'' was
the reply, "but he will be dead before
morning, and I thought it would save me
another journey if you would put it down
now."
ssOh, that won't do at ALL said the
registrar. "Why, your father may take
turn before morning and recover.
ssAh, no, he won't t." said the young
laborer. sDoctor says he won't, and he
knows what he's given father.

Never Forsake a Friend.

Whatever happens, never forsake a
friend. When enemies gather, when sick.
ness falls upon the heart, when the world
is dark and cheerless, is the time to try
true friendship. They who turn from the
scenes of distress betray their hypocrisy
and prove that interest only moves them.
IF you have friend who loves you, who
has studied your interest and happiness,
be sure to sustain him in adversely. Let
him feel that his love was not thrown
away. Real fidelity may be rare, but ii
exists in the heart. They only deny its
worth and power who never loved friend
or labored to make friend happy.

Livingstone's Vanity.

The Victoria falls of the Zambezi river,
in southeastern Africa, form the largest
cataract in the world. They were dis.
covered in 1855 by DR.. Livingstone, the
great missionary and explorer, and were
found to be twice as high and three times
as broad as Niagara. Carved upon tree
near by the initials cd. IT, are still dis.
cernible, and in his book the missionary
confesses that this was the one occasion
in his life when he was guilty of this form
of vanity. These initials are carefully
preserved by the officials of the British
South Africa company, to whom they were
pointed out by the native who saw them
carved.

A Cause For Thanks.

In the audience at lecture on China
there was very pious old lady who was
slightly deaf. She thought the lecturer
was preaching, and every time he came to
"a period she would say "Amen !" or some
other pious exclamation. The people in
the audience, which was composed mostly
of the village church members, knew she
was being reverent and did not even smile
when she exclaimed until finally the lect-
urer mentioned some faroff city in China,
saying, 81 live there At this point
clearly and distinctly could be heard the
old lady saying, "Thank God for that.
