YOUTHFUL SCOT WELL vERsED.
Prompt and Concise Answer to Cate
eorcal Question.

Boston, Massachusetts, has long en-
joyed the reputation of having exceed
ingly learned children who are able, so
it is said, to dispute on subjects far
above the heads of their elders of 9th
er regions. But Boston is not unique
In a book entitled The Scot of the
Eighteenth Century" Ian Maclaren de-
scribes a similar characteristic of the
Caledonian.
1t is the inevitable tendency of the
Scots mind to follow out every line
to its terminus, even if it be over a
precipice and to divide every hair till
infinity is touched.
1t is not only in church courts, but
In market places and in railway sta
lions, in humble cottages as well as in
university societies that the Scot is
disputing, in every spare moment OF
his time, from morning till night.
The story goes that minister over
heard mother questioning her child
as it supped it's porridge, after the
days work was done.

is the true relation between kirk ant

Making a Fine Character.

The sweetest bread that any man or
womae ever ate is that which is won
by their own energy, or deserved by
their usefulness. Whether labor be
that of the hand or the head, there is
dignity in it.
DO not stand around with arms akib
DO until occasion tells you what TO do;
don't live in hope with your arms
folded. Fortune smiles on those who
roll up their sleeves, put their Shout
ders to the wheel and push!
To begin at the very foot of the hill
and work slowly up to the top may
be a very discouraging process, but
it is precisely at this spot where so
many begin TO spoil their ives.-Ex-

IF YOU WOULD HAVE FRIENDS.
Don't Annoy People by Comp
That Are HuniIiatina.

When you start in to say plain
things TO anybody be sure to use plain
words and not idioms. Never use fig
ures of speech when rebuking others
for in time Your helpful rebuke may
be forgotten, but the tang OF the
biting figure will never be forgotten,
and perhaps not forgiven For eZ-
ample, you might want to tell con-
sentative person he was not up to the
times in some particular matter, but
don't call him fossil-he would
never forget ii. There is a good deal
in name Never call a person a
crank-cranks a figure of speech
Simply say You have an odd way of
looking at things. This Will please,
as it suggests individuality, and not
eccentricity or worse. Picturesque
language is only interesting when ap-
piled to things People don't like it
when applied personally. People don't
like to be placed in a comical and
spectacular light, and that's where
picturesque language is apt to place
them. Whatever persons character
istics may be don't call him mule
or her zany The clearer the defini-
ton the deeper the resentment. Better
not cali people names, anyway-it
only arouses a lot of feeling which is
slow to simmer down Nothing an
noys a person more than to be called
some ridiculous name-it doesn't
seem to set we'll. In other words, use
plain verbs, and cut out the nouns
and adjectives, and you will not make

The Anpreciation of Music.

If we would appreciate music Alright,
we must remember that its beauty de-
ponds, not upon the composer alone,
but upon ourselves also. Deep calls
upon deep; and the harmony of
sound, though appealing primarily to
the outward ear, must be answered by
a harmony from within ourselves. The
more culture we bring to the hearing
of music, the wider our sympathy, the
more exquisite will be the echoes
which it awakens in the soul If we
would understand the composers mes
SAGE, we must cooperate with him.
Ne must reach out to him with all
or faculties If we do that, the reve-
lation OF music will ceaselessly renew
its beauty ever turning unimagined
aspects to gladden. us.-Redfern Ma,

English Money Coined in Canada.

English gold sovereigns were coined
on the North American continent for
the first time in 1908, when limited
number of these pieces were struck
at the newly-opened Canadian mint at
Ottawa. Permission to strike these
coins, it is said, was given by the
British authorities as a special privil-
eye to mark the beginning of opera
items and extended only up to De-
cember 81, 1908, after which the mint
was to confne itself to making silver
and bronze coins.
