How to Receive Advice.

More wisdom is required in taking
than in giving advice. It should sell
dom be taken whole The great
thing, as We believe, is to take none
which is out of character. To do so
is to regret it. If we are naturally
slow of decision, we shall be hurried
into prOmptness at our peril. If we
are by nature placable and polite, we
must not take advice to be arbitrary
even il the best cause, says a writer
in the London Spectator If we are
impulsive, we should take counsel
with a man of the same temperament
and stronger mind; but not with the
phlegmatic, though he be the wisest
slOwcOach on earth We all know
our own defects, and if we are decent
people at all our moral constitution
has set un certain cOmpensatiOns. To
disturb these is to court failure. So
far as the isolated act is concerned
rashly accepted advice may be good
enOugh-and successful enough-but
how are We to go on? We have
started on a course which is out OF
character, and we shall stumble until
we get back into our stride

FOUND TIME FOR LITERATURE
English Literary Man Astonished to
Find Accurate Scholarship
Among Americans.

An English literary man, who visit
ed this country some years ago to lee
ture, frankly declared that he came not
expecting to find accurate scholar
ship among Americans, especially on
purely literary subjects. adding affa-
bly,:
, You have been too busy and useful
a nation in practical matters to give
much time to the arts and graces of
learning"
. During the dinners at which he made
this remark he criticised Shakespeare.
SHARPLY declaring shat his metaphors
often were absurd, "as, for example" "
he said, Sleep that knits up the raw
eled sleave of care How ridiculous
to figure sleep as knitting up a torn
sleeve of a coat"
. A young American sitting near him
said modestly: 4 think the word is
not sleeve, but slave, the thin fluff of
a damaged web. 1t is a technical ex-
preston among weavers."
In the United States probably"
retOrted the critic irritably Shake
speare never could have heard it. He
meant sleeve"
Il believe" persisted the American
gently, the word is printed sleave in
all the old editions. 1t is not an
American word, but has been used for
centuries by weavers in Scotland and
the north of England"
The visitor frowned and then with
English frankness said, laughing:

haps l am mistaken about other
things and will be corrected before I

A Popular EsIIacy.

The generally accepted belief that a
person is useful in proportion as he is
busy is cOntroverted by a writer, who
says: Il have a deg that is loaded up
with fieas. In the summer time, when
the fieas are plenty, that is the busiest
dog ever saw; when he isn't biting
at the fieas he's swapping at the flies.
He never has minute to spare. but
when he is the busiest he is the least
account for practical purposes. And
there is young fellow in my neigh
borhOod who has Waterbury watch,
and he smokes cigarettes. When he
isn't windrAg his vatch he is lighting
a cigarette. He is a mighty busy
young man, but he isn't worth two

Rapidly Uhlan closed in on the mare
until at the end of the home stretch
he had her Tapped, his head being at
her saddle. Andrews apparently had
confidence in the finishing ability of
Hamburg Belle and never made a move
until he saw Uhlan had reached her
neck. Then. thirty yards from the wire
he tapped the trotting queen a couple of
times. but she failed to respond, and
Uhlan quickly went into the lead, win
ming easily by two lengths. The frac-
tional parts of the mile were 0:31%
1;02%, 1:3SH and 2:04%.
After a couple Of warming up scores
for the second heat the contestants
turned for the word and got it the first
time down. The pole, the hackers and
admirers of the Boston representative
had concluded. was big help, but just
before reaching the quarter pole An
drews surprised every one by fairly
jumping Hamburg Belle into the lead,
so that 1t appeared from the grand
stand as If Uhlan had met with an

feated Hamburg Belle in straight heats

AS Uhlan is a locally owned and bred

Hamburg Belle was favorite before

success last week in the initial meet

she earned the worlds record OF 2:O1A
