A Spartan Father.

Recently a first year high school pn- pill handed her history teacher what she evidently considered an exhaustive and final study of Lacedaemonian cus- toms. In it she stated that one Spar, tan habit of strengthening youth was to compel the boys to sleep always on beds and thistles.
 The incident reminds one of story that is told of one of the Camerons of Lochiel.
 The chief, when bivouacking with his son in the snow, noticed that the lad had rolled up snowfall to make pillow. He thereupon rose and kick. ed 1t away. saying sternly, No eff. feminacy, boy!'-Youth's Companion.

An Experience at Awtt Heuas.


 Even death itself sometimes fails to bring the dignity and serenity which one would fain associate with old age. recall the dying hour of one old Scotchwoman whose long struggle to keep respectable" had so embittered her that her last words were gibes for those who were trying to minister to her. "So you came in yourself this morning. did you? You only .ent things yesterday. I guess you knew when the doctor was coming. Don't try to warm my feet with anything but that old jacket that I've got there; it belonged to my boy who was drowned at sea nigh thirty years ago, but it's warmer yet with human feelings than any of your confounded charity hot water bottles.' Suddenly the harsh gasping voice was stilled in death, and awaited the doctors coming, shaken and horrifed.-Jane Addams in Amer. ican Magazine.

 You all know of the colonel" he said, "who got his title by inheritance. having married Colonel Browns wid- ow? But once met general who got his title neither by inheritance, nor by service, nor by anything you could mention.
 "'General.' I said to him, how do you come by this title of yours. any way?
 "'Why, sir,' said he, I passed my youth in the -four trade and for tweD ty-seven years was general miller

Fear.

Fear causes more disease than do microbes, more deaths than famine. more failures than panics. It costs more than war, is always failure and is never necessary, said medical man. Fear weaken's the hearts action. in- duces congestion, invites indigestion. produces poison through decomposing foods and is thus the mother of auto poisoning. which either directly causes or greatly aids in the production of quite 90 per cent of all our diseases.
