Gentlemen of taste, the spring clothes question confronts us. Now let's go about it systematically this season instead of waiting till the last minute and then diving head1ong into something we're bound to dislike. Clothes are an all important factor in this modern world and time, though ever so little, should be given to their selection and care. To feel thak-ene is properly clad and is win ming a glance of admiration from his associates is a comfortable feeling, but<-oh, how awful it is to be criti- cised4 and credited with being a dresser of, poor taste or a wearer of back number styles. Of course if you want satisfaction it is thoroughly un- derstood you've got to go to a mer- cl1AI1t tai1or-you'r not going to take chances with, the ready-made cloth ing counter. There may be very good ready made clothes but even the be-

He must have the fashion which is not to be questioned He wants to feel that his clothes will bear the searching criticism of Fifth avenue as well as being considered little forethoIig11t, a little care, he can have just this.

A Horses Hands and Feet.

The horse never puts his heel on the ground, nor even the ball of his foot. He stands up on the very tips or his toes, and this is, in part, the reason why he can trot so fast Dobb1n's heels are half way up his hind legs. and what we call his knees are really his wrists. The part corresponding to the upper arm is short and is so embedded in the muscles of the shoulder that the elbow comes next the body. but the horse has only one digit to each limb, and the wrist bones are comparatively small The so called ankle, then. Is the knuckle, where the digit joins the hand or the foot, and the foot" is only a single thick finger or toe, with a great nail for a hoof The lower half of the horses foreleg is really a gigantic hand, with only the middle finger and a piece out of the middle of the palm. while the corresponding part of his hind leg is big, single toed foot.-St. Nicholas.

s1ilton,. Ruri.l Place.

When Milton died on Nov. 8, 1674, he was buried in St. Giles. Cripple gate. says the London Tatler, though his remains were distributed in 1I9O, it is said, and 1t is not quite certain now where he actually lies. Earlier still the uncertainty seems to have ex- fused. for Aubrey quaintly tells us: "His stone is now removed; about two yeares since (now 16S1) the two steppes to the communion table were raysed. I ghesse Jo Speed andshe lie together" Still, even at the risk of gazing at "Jo Speed's'' resting place by mistake, St. Giles should be visited today, for the whole neighborhood speaks of MI ton. It was quite near. in Bartholo- new close, that he lay hid after the restoration till he was pardoned; quite near, in Aldersgate street, that he took the pretty Garden house at the end of an entry" that suited his studies. being ''the quietest street in I.ondon''-excellent for the studies no doubt, but perhaps the reason for the flight of hls frivolous young wife, London Chronicle.

I,,fe,. Ht~he.t Achievene.t.

It has been saf5 that success consists in getting that at which one aims. and being happy in 1t. Each one should have an ideal of what Is to be the ex- pression of his or her life. If this is at tained in some degree such life may be called successful. Hence. the sue cessful man or woman Is the one who has succeeded fairly we'll in shaping the actual life in accordance with the ideals of life. This requires strength and persistence that call for continual struggle. It forms the highest achieve ment of life.

Hint. to Public Speakers.

Never refer pityingly to the poor. This brands you at once as a dema- gogue. Never say anything respectful of corporate wealth. In so doing you lay yourself open to the charge of be ing a hired man.
 Never use slang if you want respect able people to take stock in you. New CT use pure English. The masses hate priggishness.
 Never talk straight to the point. You will be accused of taking yourself too seriously. Never tell funny stories. They lead to the suspicion of chican- cry.
 Never praise tour forefathers." An cestry pride is disgusting. Never ap- peal to the ''sturdy immigrant leaven in our midst" 1t rifles the old families. Newark News.

CHURCH OF CHRIST.

The Christmas exercises held Christ
mas eve in the Mechanic street Church
of Christ proved an unparalleled sue
cess and surpassed the expectation of
the large audience which attended.
The decorations were an entirely
new design, superintendent by Harry
Beals and Percy Hallead and consisted
of two trees, set at each end of and
supporting large arch, in the center
of which stood the speakers, while in
the background was large and beau
tiful cross. AT the side stood "The
Gates Affair."" the whole decoration be-
ing deliberately lighted with candles
and presenting a beautiful appearance
when the back lights were turned off.
The speakers were trained by Mrs.
J. A. Bullock and Bertha Dickie, while
the singing was conducted by Mrs. w.
joss and Ida Baxter. Both speaking
and singing showed that the scholars
had had the most thorough training
and each one deserves the highest
praise as the whole program was car
ried through without single error.
The most welcome guest was Santa
who appeared on the scene after the
program and dealt out many beautiful
presents to the boys and girls who
showed their appreciation by the joy
ful faces they carried home.
