The Gospel O Good Cheer.

People loved Robert Louis Steven son not because he was an admira bh writer, but because he was cheerf'1; consumptive. He was a sufferer who for many years increased the gayet: of life. Genius alone can do this o;. large scale, but everybody can dc i' on little one. Our safest guide is tlle realization of hard truth-that we are not privileged to share our trou bles with other people. If we could make up our minds tc spare ou' friends all details of Ill health. of mon ey losses. of domestic annoyances. ot alterations. of committee work. ~ grievances. provocations and anxieties we should sin less against the worlds good hunor. It may not be given Is to add to the treasury of mirth. au' there is considerable merit in not rob bing it.-Agnes Reprlier in HarDer> Magazine

Brouoht a Blush to Her Cheek.

There was a story told of che of the worlds great vocalists singing as a young girl at private house. She was overwhelmed With praise. By and by, says the London News, she came and sat by an elderly lady, who congratu- lated her on the way she had sang but ventured to offer one or two sugges- tions. The young singer treated the hints with scorn and afterward asked the hostess who "the old lady" was who had dared to give her suggestions. 'Oh, that was Mime. Goldschmidt," re piled the lady. And who is Mime, Goldschmidt?' was the next impatient query. Well, she's better known as Jenny Lind," said the hostess. And th.n the singer blushed for shame at her disdainful reception of hints from the Swedish Nightingale

 The descriptions of some of the 1a1nes' and other schools of the early part of the nineteenth century are ex eoodlngly interesting. Many of these ancient teachers were unable to write an intelligent answer to 6 simple ques ton. One on being asked as to the torms on which she gave instruction Yuplied: "Not understanding the ques ton, l answer thus: With . view of Uoading the Bible" We have the au- 0ority of the late Lord Shaftesbury for the statement that one of these DOC creatures, being asked if she gave moral instruction to her scholars. re piled, 'No, I can't afford it at 8 shi! unGS . week" A more amusing an swer, however, was that of the teach or who was asked whether proper a' tention was paid to the morals of th" boys under his care.

Desert Plants.

Plants of the desert, as rule, pos. sess few leaves, the cactus, for in- stance, being mostly spines. There is a very good reason for the lack of leaves in desert plants. The object is to check the transferation of moisture by offering as small surface as pos sible to the dry air. For the same req son the roots of desert plants usually run deep into the soil so that they can suck up all the available moisture. In some instances the leaves assume a vertical position and thus avoid the direct rays of the burning desert sun. On the other hand, the leaves of trees In very wet countries are provided with points-such as the maple--from which the rain drops off. Were the leaves f1atter the rain would collect and make them rot
