The Root Of AItruism.

The three eternal roots of altruistic
energy are these: First, the principle
of justice; that there is a moral law
before which all men are equal, so
that | ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second, the principle of
charity; that W. infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third, the principle of free will; that
can really decide to help my neigh
Dor, and am truly disgraced if l do not
do so. To this may be added the
idea of a definite Judgment; that is,
that the action will at some time ter.
ribly matter to the helper and the
helped.-G. X. Chesterton,

FALL PAINTING.

The majority of property owners
are under the impression that sprine
time is the only painting time. Rut
the fall of the year offers several ad.
vantages to the painter. One of the
most important is that surfaces are
almost sure to be dry, and there is no
frost OF inner moisture to work ont
after the paint is applied.

A New One About Napoleon.

A new" story about Napoleon is
necessarily doubtful; the probability
is that it is simply SO old that it has
been forgotten. However, here is one
that Arthur M. Chuquet prints in
LOpinion as never before published.
1t relates to Napoleon and Bluecher.
The emperor received the general at
the castle of Finkenstein, while he was
preparing for the siege of Danzig. He
drew him to a window in an upper
story and paid him compliments on his
military gifts, and Bluecher, going
away delighted, described the inter
view to his aide-de-camp. What a
chance you missed" exclaimed the
latter.
You might have changed the whole
course of history"
"How?"
Why, you might have thrown him
out of the Window"
"Confound it," replied Bluecher. so
| might! If only l had thought of it."

USE FOR THE OLD SHEETS
'nr'rty Housewife Tacks Them Up in
Closet to Protect Her Best
Gowns.

When l find that an old sheet has
become too worn to turn or use in anv
way, explains a thrifty housewife, l
take it to tack up in a closet behind
my best gowns. Another may have
orass rings sewn on the side at inter.
ais n the rings slipped over small
mans driven in above the hooks on
winch the gowns are hung. Many peo-
pie use calico or chintz curtains for
TINS purpose, but to me a sheet always
has tne appearance of being much
cleaner, while the gowns are protected
from dust. l have several old linen
sheets, which have been cut in half.
ana when packing a trunk l find these
in which to do up one or
'wo light gowns.
