He was a friend of the Garricks and
one day was their guest at their villa
at Hampton Court when Hannah More

walking together in the garden when
his lordship astonished the fair and
sprightly Hannah by declaration of
love and an offer of his heart and

AIM TO SUCCEED.
The Self Improvement Habit as
Business Asset.


Tho Self Improvement Habit as a
Business Asset.
The very reputation of having an
ambition to amount to something in
the world, of having grand life aim,
is worth everything, says a writer in
Success Magazine. The moment your
associates find that you are dead in
earnest, that you mean business, that
they cannot shake you from your de-
termination to get on in the world or
rob you OF your time or persuade you
to waste 1t in frivolous things you
will not only be an inspiring example
to them, but the very people who are
throwing away their time will also
admire your stand. respect it and profit
by it, and you will thus be able to pro
tect yourself from a thousand annoy
ances and time MASTERS and expert
ences which would only hinder you.
In other words, there is everything
in declaring yourself, in taking stand
and thereby announcing TO the world
that you do not propose TO be failure
or an ignoramus; that you are going
to prepare yourself for something out
of the ordinary, away beyond medioc-
rity, something large and grand
The moment you do this you stand
out in strong contrast from the great
mass of people who are throwing away
their opportunities and have not grit
and stamina enough to do anything
worth while or to make any great eff.
fort to be somebody In the world.

A Nabob.

erich as a nabob" is an expression
not infrequently heard, but why ma
bob" should thus be associated with
wealth and who he was precisely is
not so generally known. Under the
great moguls the provinces of India
were administered by deputies known
by the designation of 'nawab," who
commonly amassed much money and
lived in great splendor. The Office and
the title continued under British rule
in the orient, but gradually the word
became corrupted into "nabob" and
was applied generally to all natives
who had grown rich. More latterly it
was bestowed - often in a derisive
sense-upon Europeans who, having
made large fortunes in India. returned
home and spent their money in lux
urious and ostentatious way.-London

Widows Caps.

The widows cap is survival of an
old Roman custom. Widows were
obliged to wear their weeds for ten
months, and the bereaved woman
shaved her head as a token of mourn
ing. Naturally the widow could not
very well appear in public with a bald
head. so dainty caps were made in or
der to hide the Disagreement. The
cap still remains, though the imme-
date necessity for its existence has
long passed away. Parsons Weekly.

1t is not tnfrequent to find men spec

Of modern Japan. Quite recently In

clare that the late Professor Toyama
was the originator of the word as the
japanese equivalent of "hurrah." But
the truth is that "banZai' belongs to
very much remoter date. History
shows that it was used certainly as
long ago as the year 1856 A. D., and
probably II was not IAN innovation

The Elenhant,s Trunk.

The long trunk of the elephant Is
very, very wonderful. The neck of
four footed animals is usually long to
enable them to reach their food with
out difficulty, but the elephant has a
short neck to enable him more easily
to support the weight of his huge
head and heavy tusks. The long trunk
helps him to get his food, and the
trunk is to an elephant what a long
neck is to other animals. = Chicago
