The True Cure.

There are two ways of dealing with
the evils in the world which we justly
deplore and wish to abolish-one, to
attack and try to break them down
fOrcibly; the other. to dissolve or ex-
hale them by the active presence of
good. The former of these methods
appears so much the more direct and
obvious that it generally gains the
first place in our attention. We see
wrong and our impulse is to crush it;
we see an injustice and we long to
exterminate 1t; we observe an upright
eous institution and we desire to
overthrow it. The slower and less d.
rect method of overcoming evil with
good. of substituting better way for
that which is bad, of devoting the
same energy to building up that we
would have given to the work of tear
ing down, obtains gradual hold over
US only with time and experience.

Make two rows of stitches up the

cut between them and you have trou-

survival of the tillet wherewth the
shawl was bound over the head. The
Scotch cap, the bishops inter and the
little boys sailor hat with their tails
and the bonnet strings can be referred
to the same origin. The little bow in
the hat lining at the end Of the lacing
had Its origin In the time when there
were no one-eightl sizes and head
coverings could be laced in or let out
according to the size Of the wearer's
head.
Men in uniform wear their feathers
on the left side, because when plumes
were first used and men drew their
swords more frequently they did not
want them to get mixed with their
feathers. The cooked hat probably
began when hats were so large that
they were Topped up and the habit

His Effective Plea,

"A story is told of prisoner before
Lord Justice Fitzgibbon, at the time
when the latter was one of the JUS
tees of appeals of Ireland, whose
ready wit probably saved his neck.
Lord Fitzgibbon was holding assizes
III Tipperary county when a man was
brought before him on indictment for
murder. The case was proved that
the victim came to his death by being
hit with stick in the hands of the
defendant. but the. doctor testified
that he had what they called in med.
ical parlance paper skull"
The case looked dark for the pris-
oner. however, and the jury returned
verdict Of guilty. AS the man was
brought before the court for sentence
1t was noticed that his lordship had
his black cap in his hand.
"Have you anything to say why SEN
tence should not be pronounced upon
you?" demanded Lord Fitzgibbon.
The man looked for moment and
then said. mo, your lordship, have
nothing to say, but should like to
ask one question"
What is that. my mann" said Fitz-
gibbon.
II should like to know what a man
with a head like that was doing In
Tipperary?"
The black cap was put away and a
prison sentence imposed.-Youth' s

paper which he gave to McDermott.
The latter studied the paper carefully.
From the paper his glance travelled to
the face Of the young man opposite

taken more particular notice of the
cleft chin and the blue-gray eyes. Had
he made mistake? Was the young

On one side of 1t was some writing

Wilhelm, an Austrian savant. who
lives in Athens. The tablet is the
original Of private letter that was
written about the time of the orator
Demosthenes.

writer was meanD. The weekly mar

had gone to offer their produce and
wares for sale, may be imagined in
progress. There the boy who was
bearer OF the letter was to find the
stand or booth of one of the three per-
SONS to whom it was addressed and

So much for the letter, to the mo-

Apparently it was written in winter,
