There is a man who never drinks,
Nor smokes, nor chews, nor swears:
Who meyer CANDLES, never flirts
And shuns all sinful snares-
He's paralyzed.
There is a man who never does
that is not right;
His wife can tell just where he is
AT morning, noon and night
He's dead.

The air was sweet with the smell OF
willow wood, and the artificial limb
maker was adjusting a delicate metal
spring in a superb leg.
This one of a pair Of legs" he said.
II am making for an aviator. They
are longer legs than his own were.
His height before the accident was
only five feet six. Now, with these
legs, he will be five feet ten.
Men all like to be tall. And short
men, when, as sometimes happens,
they lose both legs, crafty this uni
versal desire for height by ordering
wooden legs of an excessive length.

The Pleasures and Profit Of
Many of the worlds most eminent
men acquired an excellent education
mainly by reading, says Orison SWEET
Marden in Success Magazine. Frank
lin, the printers devil, by self-effort,
self-discipline, self-schoofing, educated
himself so well that the extent of his
knowledge surprised the naughty Eng
lish lords and the incredulous French
scientists and authors.
Lincoln, who, to use his own phrase,
had possibly a years schooling "by
littles." is a conspicuous example of
self-education, through reading, even
with very few books. amidst the most
primitive conditions n with no in
spring associates.
Elihu Burritt, working all day in a
blacksmith's shop. had little opportun-
ity for education, yet through his in
dustry and love for reading and study
he became one Of the greatest linguists
in the world, and won for himself the
honorable sobriquet Of "the learned
blacksmith" Speaking of Burritt's
profound learning, Edward Everett
said, ut Is enough to make one who
has had good opportunities for educa
ton hang his head in shame"

You cannot read a man so well dur
ing his busy hours as by what he
does after supper, or from the closing
hour of business to bedtime. You can
not gauge his character so well by the
money he spends for necessaries or the
living Of his family, as by that little
overplus Of money which is left after
the necessary expenses are paid. What
does he do with his spare money, that
margin left over from business and
from living expenses? What he does
with that margin will throw a Won
derful light upon his character.
The largest part of every active life
must be devoted to getting a living.
attending to ones affairs, and this is
lone by most people in a routine sort
of way. You cannot tell much about
the real man during these hours, be-
cause he has a system, his regular
daily routine, and he does very much
the same thing every day. But the
moment he is free, he is quite a diff
ferent man. Then his real propensi-
ties come out. People are not natural
until they are free from restraint.
Watch the boy and the girl when
they are free from their regular duties,
and see how they spend their even
ings, what society they keep, what
companions they form, what they do.
This will be a pretty good test of
their character.-Success Magazine.

How Fish Change Color.

In a lecture at the Royal Photo
graphic Society's exhibition DR.. Fran
els Ward said that the power of GER
tain fish to change their color in har-
mony with their environment resided
in their optic nerve. He placed a pike
In such a position that its head was in
a dark chamber while the rest Of its
body lay In bright sunshine. The pike
remained black in color, but when he
reversed its position and caused It's
head to be in the sunlight its color
changed to a very much lighter hue
within the space Of a few minutes.
The light acted upon the optic nerve,
thus causing the pigment cells all over
the skin to contract or relax.-London
Standard.

The human race seems bound to be.

give our teeth enough hard work they
are bound to decay and the dentists

do not use our muscles they become
f1abby and weak. hi same principle
holds good with regard to the stom-

sufficient amount Of work in digesting
the whole scheme of digestion and is
similation goes wrong.
On all sides we hear ineXpert dietists
talking about selecting foods and cook

most universal practice, we are becom-
ing a race of dyspeptics. Close stu
dents Of the subject are well aware
that 1t is the meat-eating nations and
heavy m~eat-eaters everywhere that are
the chief sufferers from Inflammation
Of the bowels falsely called append
~citis,' either through Ignorance or for
commercial purposes); and this Is not
altogether because animal food is mas
ty stuff, but from the practice Of chew
ing 1t or eating 1t in the form Of hash.
All m~eat-eating animals bolt their
food-not because they know more
than human beings, but simply because
1t is their nature to do SO. 1t is as
unphysiological and unwholesome to
chew meat as not to chew the grains
and other starchy foods. Feed a dog
on hashed meat and he will have dys-
pepsia, and very likely Inflammation
of the bowels; and If his owner has a
good bank account there might be an
operation for appendicitis"

TYBURN TREE.
Lord Fcrrers' Tragic Journey to the
Famous Old GnllOws.

amo Old GnllOws.
Park lane was Tyburn lane, and 1t
seems as If the gallows-described IN
an old document as ~movable-at one
time stood at its east corner. 1t was
there the terocious Lord Ferrers was
hanged in 1860 for numbering his serv-
ant.
Horace Walpole's words paint the
picture well: He shamed heroes. He
bore the solemnity of a pompous ana
tedious procession of above two hours
from the Tower to Tyburn with as
much tranquility as If he were only
going to his own burial, not to his own
execution" And when one of the dra-
goons Of the procession was thrown
from his horse Lord Ferrers expressed
much concern and said, II hope there
will be no death to-day but mine"
On went the procession, with a mob
about it sufficient to make it's progress
slow and laborious. Small wonder that
the age Of Thackeray, with Thack-
eray's help, set up it's scaffolds within
four high walls. Asking for drink,
Lord Ferrers was refused, for, said
the sheriff, late regulations enjo1ned
him not to let prisoners drink while
passing from the place Of imprlson-
ment to that Of execution, great in
decencies having been committed by
the drunkenness of the criminals in
the hour Of execution.
And, though" said he, my lord,
might think myself eXcusable in over.
looking this order out Of regard to
your lordship's rank, yet there is an
other reason, which, l am sure, will
weigh with you Your lordship is SEN
sible of the greatness Of the crowd.
We must draw up at some tavern. The
confluence would be so great that 1T
would delay the expedition which your
lordship seems so much to DESIRE"
But decency-so often paraded by
those who outrage tended with the
murderer's death.
The executioners fought for the
rope and the one who lost it wept, the
greatest tragedy, to his thinking, Of
the day!"-London Sketch.

"Td know you were an Englishman
If I'd only seen you addressing an en-
velope," said the American. English
men always seem to put all they pos
! sibly can into an address"
Well, the address of an Englishman
is a very important thing. A good ad-
| dress, especially in London, Is more
| highly regarded than square meals,
the latter often being sacrificed for
the former.
There are, as has been explained,
only certain parts of London in which
one can live and be recognized. 1t is
| divided into districts, the most impor-
tant of which bears the address Lon
don, w.
The next district in Importance Is
S. W. (southwest). This includes Chel-
sea, where the artists congregate, and
| South K~ensington, where upper mid
| die class fashionable folks live.
N. w. (northwest) includes Hamp-
stead, st. Johns Wood, Belsize Park
Gone of the prettiest and healthiest
parts of London), where wealthy city
men reside, and the many large resi-
dences there can boast beautiful gar
dens and lawns, such as are unobtaln-
able in any other part Of London.
The next district INC one of the most
closely populated is W. c. (west cen.
tral). 1t is a world of boarding houses,
and, being the most convenient part OF
London for railway stations, places OF
amusement and sightseeing generally,
it is peopled with the most cosmopoli-
tan set to be found anywhere in the
world.
One of the puzzles of this address is
that If you write w. C. after it the re-
cipient will probably not bother to call,
but if you write in such and such a
place and add Russell square" that
makes it all right. Russell square Is
recognized, but west central is not.
On meeting new people the first
thing they invariably ask is your adj
dress. If you are wearing a nice frock
and say you live w. they Immediately
ask you to dinner, but if o say west
central the nice frock carries no
weight. They simply say, How very
odd" and talk about the weather.

1t is a mistaken idea hat the proper
way to lift a full grown cat Is by the
nape of its neck without supporting
the lower part of it's body with the
other hand. 1t is true that the mother
cat carries young kittens by graspine
in her mouth the loose skin at the
back of her offspring's neck, but a
tiny kitten is a very different matter
from a large cat, and, indeed, the only
way to lift a kitten without squeezing
or hurting it's soft little body is to lift
it by it's neck. But after it has grown
larger it's own weight is too great to
be supported by such a bit of skin and
fur as is so grasped by the hand, and
many a cat suffers perfect tortures by
being held in this manner and is quite
helpless to run or struggle, as in such
q position certain of it's muscles cannot
be controlled, and 1t is absolutely at
the mercy of its unconscious tormen-
tor.
The same rule should be observed in
lifting rabbits by their ears. They
should always be partially supported
by the free hand and not allowed to
dangle with their whole weight strain
ing from their large but necessarily
delicate ears.-Watchword.

Pole F.ker Of Long Ago.

#
1t IL told Of a titled E%nglishmal
that when his son explained his folly
In going down a coal mine by saying
that he spoiled his clothes so as to
be able to say that he had performed
the feat, replied: why did you say
that you had been down the mine and
did not go?" This method appears tc
have been followed by one James Knox
do Bolduc, a monk, who, according to
a Paris contemporary, made his Polar
voyage In 1865. This is the Pole as
described by this Bolduc:
"At the Pole one finds the place
where all the a Of the sea con,

round this precipice. separated by fou,
great canals, succeeding which are tn.
divided seas. An enormous rock, quite
black. and % miles in circumference
marks the Pole itself.
The unfortunate ships which ven.
ture into these ATTITUDES are imme
diately lost. II they + not assisted
by favorable Winds"
The Civil and Military Gazette Of
Lahore, India, suggests that the &C
count OF Bolduc may be found in the
"Teutsche Acta Eruditorium" (1712)

Every boy is going to have a con-

his secrets and whisper his hopes and
ambitions which he would not breathe
to others, says Orison SWEET Mardan
in Success Magazine. We take it for
granted hal his mother will stand
nearer to him than any other person,
but every boy will have some male
friend who will stand in a peculiar
relation to him. This friend, this con
fidant, should be his father.
You. cannot afford to have your boy
feel that you are too busy Or too in
different to tell him how to fly his
kite Or bait his hook or make a toy
or to play games with him.

should grow up to feel that no one
else can take your place; that you

which no one else can fill.

ITO AND THE MARINES.

Thirst for Information of Japan,s

The Marquis Ito, who was recently
assassinated by a Korean, was always
eager to acquire information about
western civilization, an exchange says.
During his four terms as prime min.

Seeing a j~olly-looking, b~ewhiskered
japanese sitting alone in the vehicle,
they saluted in military fashion and
smiled back at him. Suddenly the
