Sticking to the Disaqreeable Job.

1t is the man who can stick to the
disagreeable job do it with energy and
vim, the man who can force himself
to do good work when he does not feel
like doing it-in order words, the man
who is master of himself, who has a
great purpose and who holds himself
to his aim, whether it is agreeable or
disagreeable, whether he feels like it
or does not feel like it-that wins.
1t is easy to do what is agreeable, to
keep at the thing we like and are en-
thusiastic about, byt it takes real grit
to try to put our whole soul into that
which is distasteful and against
which our nature protests, but which
we are compelled to do for the sake of
others who would suffer if we did not
do it,
To go every morning with stout
heart and an elastic step, with cour-
age and enthusiasm, to work which we
are not fitted for and were not intend
ed to do, work against which our very
natures protest just because it is our
duty, and to keep this up year in and
year out require heroic qualities.-Suc-
cess Magazine.

The Year and the Calendar.

After julius Caesar corrected the cal
endar the year was still IL minutes
IA seconds too long. amounting to
one day in 12S years. AS the centuries
passed the interval between the COM
mencement of the year and the spring
equinox grew less. 1t was not, how
ever, until 1882 that anything was done
about it. Then Pope Gregory XIII. set
out to remedy the difficulty. This he
did by directing the suppression of ten
days outright. In order to provide for
the future he ordered that all century
years Q7OO, 1900, etc. which would
ordinarily be leap years should be com.
mon years unless they were multiples
Of 400. This arrangement, which still!
holds good leaves only one day toe
much in 3,400 years. A French scien-
fist has proposed dropping an addi-
tional day in the year 5000 and repeat
ing the process every 1920 years. This
would leave us short one day every
10000 years, which may be considered
correct enough for all practical pur.
poses. At any rate. the matter is not
pressing.--New York Post.

The Most DANGEROUS Fish.

The shark and the octopus are usu-
ally looked upon as the most danger
Gus among the denizens of the deep,
but 1t appears that fishermen who frS
quent tropical waters have a much
greater fear of the devilfish, the green
moray and the swordfish. There seems
to be unanimity of opinion that the
shark and the octopus will not attack
a boat, while the others which have
been mentioned will. And, moreover,
the attacks of the devilfish, the moray
and the swordfsh are a great deal
more terrific than those of the shark
and the octopus.
The devilfish is large ray which
infests the warm waters of the At
lantic. 1t attains a weight Of ton
and half, has horrible looking teeth
and barbed, poison holding spike in
its tail which it uses with tremendous
effect when it assails a party in
boat. The green moray is to be met
with off the coast of Bermuda. 1t re-
sembles a conger ell, but is green in
color. The moray is reckoned the most
savage inhabitant of any water.

Just a Fish Story.

We cannot refrain from recording
the most curious capture Of fish that
has come to our notice. The circum-
stance was retailed many years ago by
Mr.. HeathcOte, one of the great au-
thorities on the fens. A Mr.. Richard
son of Peterborough was skating on
the bikes when the ice was very clear,
and he noticed large pike swimming
In front of him. The fish was terrified
by the apparition and swan in front of
the skater until it stopped from sheer
exhaustion. The skater broke the ice
and took out the fish with his hand
which proved to be pike weighing
twelve pounds. 1t is story difficult
even for a fisherman or a local hsto-
rian to cap.-London Outlook.

The Pilot.
Original.

When Ben Paddock shipped with me
for an able seaman he was absolutely
disabled and sailed simply to be saved
from himself Ben had been a decent
fellow and had a wife and two little
children, but drink captured him, rem
dering him of no use to them and only
burden to himself Indeed, he was a
burden to them also till he left them.
Once aboard and subject to discipline
he slowly righted, like a ship after a
squat, and his own real identity reas-
serted itself. Fortunately for him, we
were off for a long voyage, and there
was not a drop of liquor aboard ship
except under my charge, and l never
gave Ben a drop from the time we
sailed till we got back to the port we
had left three years before. l liked
Ben Paddock and did everything
could to help him get rid of the habit
that had ruined him. l persuaded him
not to take shore leave when we made
ports, and at such times l often stayed

political economist, was q frequent
guest of Lord Lansdowne at Lans-
downe House and on one occasion was
busily writing, quite distracted as
usual, in a room full of company when
Tom Moore was singing. The scratch
of his pen was not an agreeable ac-

A|(O TEACHERS
HAVE Novel Plan
Exhibit Of Schools To
Mark Close of
Year

HlIO, Hawaii, May 19.-The
teachers of Hllo and Vicinity are
planning a novel innovation for the
end of the school year. They are
bent upon making a public exhibit
ton. not indeed of themselves, but Of
their pedagogical achievements,
manual, moral, agricultural, intel
lectual, and otherwise. They wish
very properly to have their work in
tellitently appreciated by the public.
They expect, furthermore, 10 gain
mutual advantage from an inspection
of each others work, whatever new
ideas one teacher may evolve bccom-
ing at once the property of all.
To this end they have secured the
Armory for July 18th and 18Th, and
will lay before the public all the
varied products of the school, from
the onions, and cabbagcs of the gar
den to the learned expositions of the
| classroom.
The scheme is an excellent one.
The teachers are prompted by the
right motive and the right method.
They propose to furnish the curious
public with exact evidence of what
they are doing in the schools. Their
display will naturally include the
best. rather than the wrost, products
81 their labors, but II will be exhib-
tied in sufficient quantity and variety
to dispel the suspicion that IL was
designed for show rather than in.
atruction purposes.

of School Inspector King, and was
suggested by him to the IIilo Teach.
