Faithful to 'His Majesty, Myself

A man who had adopted a course
that was magnanimous and unselfish,
and had carried 1t through at no
small cost of effort and se1f-sacriflce,
was met with remonstrances by his
friends. "You have done more than
duty required Of you" they said.
You were not obliged to take up
that burden; no one had a right to
ask it of you"
mo one did," he answered. 81
did it because | should have to live
with myself afterward, and I might
not be pleasant company IL that thing
were left undone."
His reason was strong and valid
one. There can scarcely be a more
uncomfortable companionship than
having to live with a condemning
self, and whatever friends or advis-
ors may say, the final Judgment rests
with our own inner consciousness
Other voices, however consoling, die
away, but self, approving or accus-
ing, must be lived with. Life can
not take on it's full meaning or dig
nifty until we have learned to know
and respect the power of that strange
regent-the ego, the self.-NeW
Guide.

her homeward will stay. So milady

had planned to have four guests. but
six are coming, and so II you stay
you will just balance the table"
Could anything have been more gra-
ciously hospitable than that? But
where is the woman who would have
had the hardihood TO do that with no
thought of the skinny portions that
must be served to make a meal pre-
pared for four stretch for eight? The
majority of women would have care
fully calculated the matter In their
minds, have mentally weighed the
pros and cons, and then acted &C.
cordingly without reference to the
needs of the lonely caller.
A wealthy woman once said that
the sweetest meal she ever had was
eaten at the board of a friend who
had little of this worlds goods and
who did all her own work.
Several persons caught in the rain
one Sunday morning near the home
of this woman, ran in to escape the
shower and to chat awhile. AS 1t
continued to rain the hostess said:
Take off your wraps and stay to
tea. | want you to-"
The meal consisted of tea, lettuce
sandwiches and jam. There was abb
solutely nothing else, no little filters,
no dainty trifies that good house

like the Philistines on the unsuspect-
ing fold. It was served without a
scrap of an apology. and served with

pitality, in true breeding, that was

True Hospitality.

You have all heard the story of
the truly hospitabIe Southern man
who, when unexpected travellers were
forced to remain over. night beneath
his roof, set them down to a supper
table bearing only bread, radishes
and water, with never an apology of
any sort.
wonder how many women could
have stood such a nerve-racking test
of hospitality without overwhelming
the strangers within their gates with
apologies for the meager repast? And
yet the truly hospitable person is he
who gives the best he has with a
grace that precludes any criticism.
Once upon a time there was wo-
man possessed of only the smallest
means. That meant the greatest
planning to make both ends meet;
yet she had heart as big as all out
doors, and nothing gave her greater
pleasure than to entertain her
friends.

A Word to Girls.

Girls in the country sometimes
grow tired of the quiet routine of
farm work and long for the excite
ments and attractions of city life.
But life in the city is not the public
holiday it seems to the girls on their
occasional visits to town. Believe
me when 1 tell you that working
girls in the city have an infinitely
more monOtonOus existence than the
country girls ever dreamed of. You
get up early and work hard, it is
true; but the picnics you attend in
summer and the sleigh rides and par
ties that enliven your winter give
you social recreation and change,
while there is always the keenest en-
joyment for those who know how to
read Mother Natures book.
Think of spending every working
day in a dingy office, writing and fig
uring constantly, with but half a
days vacation in three years, as one
girl l know Of has done! Think of
spending all the hot, dusty summer
days at a sewing machine in a fac
tory, with the ceaseless clatter of
hundreds of other machines all about
you! Think of walking two miles
to work, standing behind a counetr
all day, forced to smile and smile,
feel, and again walking home at
night! All these things thousands
of girls in big cities do.
One girl 1 know stands and irons
ready-made shirt-waists all day, week
in and week out. What is the va
riety of her life? How would you
like to exchange your duties with
her? Do you not think it would be
a welcome relief to her to milk in
the cool of the morning, churn, bake
and sweep before the hottest part of
the day, peel the potatoes for dinner
out under the shade Of tree, and,
after dinner is over, sit out in the
cool and shady yard or rest in the
hammock or take a canter on a pony
or in the fall go to the woods in
search of nuts, and at night lie down
and breathe in the sweet-scented air
of the country instead of amid sewer
smells and effluvia of dirty alleys?
How would you like to pay out of
your scant earnings for every speck-
ed apple or withered peach you ate?
Why, if you live in the city, you
would pay for fruit that you will not
pick up from the ground now! How
would you like the ever-present pos
sibility of losing your "job" and hav-
ing your income cut off for a time,
with no money to pay the expenses
that always accumulate SO fast?
Think of these things before you
give up the quiet and peaceful life
of the country, with the certainty of
a comfortable home, even if you do
not have ice cream and oysters every
day. To make the best of what you
have is better than to rush into evils
that you know not of.-Metropolitan
and Rural Home.

There may be common-sense

Let me not to the marriage of true
minds
Admit impediments. Love is not
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to re-
move:
Oh, no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is
never shaken;
1t is the star to every wandering
bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although

Loves not times fool, though rosy

Love alters not with his brief hours

Bathing in the Dead Sea.

It is we'll known that the waters of
the Dead Sea are much heavier than
those of the ocean. This is due to
the great amount of salt held in solu-
ton. A few years ago Mr., now Sir
Gray Hill, of England, made trial of
swimming in the sea and then in the
Jordan, to compare the two. He tells
the result in his book, with the
Beduins":
Many tourists while at Jericho
battle in the Dead Sea and the Jor-
dan, and for very shame I could not
pass by without doing so. But my
experience was peculiar. I had with
me one of the Jericho sheiks and one
of the muleteers, and We rode first
to the Dead Sea. It's waters are gen.
orally perfectly still and of splendid
storm, they were very rough, the
waves ran high, and for some two
hundred yards from shore were of an
ugly brown.
looked askance at it as I undress-
ed, but felt bound to go in. The
waves very promptly knocked me
down, and filled my mouth, nose and
eyes with their strong brine. Again

after another of the bare branches

the Jordan and washed on to the

waves, aided by the great floating
power of the water, twisted the
branches out of my hands and knock
ed me down time after time until,
feeling that I had done enough for
principle, 1 acknowledged that the
victory did not lie on my side, and
scrambled out, smarting most I'M
pleasantly.
Then We galloped off to the Jordan,
where I thought I should succeed
better. So cast about for a suitable
place to jump in, for did not like to
crawl in ignorminiously at the pill
grims' bathing-place, near which we
| were, and which would have been
the wisest course to adopt. I wanted
to take header. So procuring a long
stick, I assembled the stream a little,
and made sure by sounding with it
Of deep spot under an overhanging
tree.
In I plunged, intending to swim
down to the regular bathing-place,
where 1 knew there must be a good
| bottom for getting out. Down came
with the fast-fowing yellow flood,
striking out in the fullest enjoy
ment.
But when I was just about to put
my foot to the ground, I was brought
up sharp with tremendous blow on
my right breast. If it had struck me
on the heart it would, I think, have
killed me on the spot. I had come
down on to the end of a stake point
ing upstream, and driven in to mark
the upper boundary of the bathing
place, but which was hidden, owing
to the rains having raised the surface
of the river. I had some difficulty in
crawling out again, and was black
and blue in the chest for a month
afterward. There is nothing like a
little experience to teach one wis
dom.-Youth's Companion.
