CHILDREN'S COLUMN.
Johnny whippen's New Watch.

Johnny Whippen wanted a watch on his
birthday and wanted everybody to know
he wanted it.. For weeks in advance a.
breakfast, lunch and dinner he told his
father, mother, sisters and brothers how
he yearned for the timcpicce.
His persistent harping on the matter
finally became unbearable to the other
members of the family. When Johnny
mentioned the word watch" they be-
calne severely silent. But Johnny kept
right on.
One evening he was sitting in the draw
ing O with his father and concluded 1t
was a good opportunity to do a little lob
bying for himself.
"Say, pa"
"Pa" laid down his paper on the table
and looked sternly at tho boy over his
%spectacles.
"Now, Johnny, I am going to put my
foot down on any more of this watch Hk
You arc making life a burden for t. rest
of us. So, if you were intending to ask
me about the watch, you had better not
say anything further. Don't let me hear
the word again"
Johnny was repulsed, but not defeated.
It was the custom in the Whippen family
for zach member to quote a verse of Scrip
ture ct family worship each morning.
The day following Mr. Whippen's ulti-
matum the family met foc worship. II
was Johnny's turn to quote a verse. BIG
waited until he was sure all present were
attentive, and then he slowly repeated
with great emphasis the following verse:
"What I say unto you I say unto ALL
Watch"

Japanese

Japanese Journalism" says a mission
sry's wife, sis a singular profession In
many of it's features. There Is practically
no such thing as freedom Of. the press In
Japan. Whenever q newspaper publishes
something unfriendly to the government
1t is suppressed and the editor Is sent to
prison. The real editor Is never impris.
oned, though. Every newspaper has what
the Japanese call a dummy editor, and Ii
Is his sole duty to go to Jail every time the
. is suppressed for offending the
mikado. Then the real editor changes the
name Of the paper and keeps on publishing
it. Dummy editors spend most of their
time In prison."

Importance of Regular Living.

A question he's lately arisen as to the In
orease or the reverse in nervous diseases.
some arguing that the cause OF the sup
posed increase in such nervous diseases lies
In the increased demand made by the COD
ditions of modern life upon the brain. LII
Is quite true that the conditions of hfe are
very different nowadays from What they
were a few years ago. We now liyein q high
pressure age, and in one Of keen competi-
ton, when greater effort is needed IN every
branch of life to attain O successful POSI-
ton, when the brain Is always working
and there is constant tension. Such DON
ditions, it will be perfectly obvious to ALL
are not favorable to q diminutioD OF nerV-
GUS diseases, but rather the reverse. AT
the same time, 1t cannot be denied that
the comforts of life have increased. We
have better sanitation, cleaner houses and
fresher air.
There can be no question that men OF
regular habits are healthier, happier, live
longer and do moro than those who obey
caprice and impulse. The adoption OF
hyoienic habits saves the nervous system
an enormous amount of friction and waste.
It preserves vitality. Regularity econo-
mixes not only physical stamina, but time
as we'll. The man who knows no system
In the details of his life, who exhausts ma
ture at the instance Of a passing whim,
who drinks and smokes to excess, who
wastes the talents bestowed upon him, Is
the one who must sooner or later fall a VIC.
tim to disease. Regularity and modera.
ton in all things should be the motto OF
life, and it should be remembered that
regularity does not necessarily preclude the
enjoyment of variety. A certain amount
of variety prevents man from becoming a
mere machine, but variety should not In
terfere with those regular habits OF life
which are necessary to the maintenance OF
health. New York Ledger.

lies. You must cure these troubles OF
they may lead to diabetes or Brlght's
disease. The best remedy to use Is

A Strange Pet.

Perhaps the strangest pet ever kept bya
man was q wasp which Sir John Lubbock
caught In the Pyrenees and resolved to
tame. he began by teaching it to AXE ita
meals on his hand, and in a very Short
space of time 1t grew to expect to be fed In
that way. Sir John preserved this pet
with the greatest care. True, 1t stung him
once, but then it had every excuse for DO
ing so. Sir John was examining 1t while
on a railway journey, and, the door being
opened by q ticket collector, he uncere-
moniously stuffed it into a bottle, and the
outraged S~paniard, not feeling quite at
home during the process, gave him q gen.
tie reminder as to the proper way to treat
q guest.

The dainty snowflakes fit away.
Light they are as al elder feather,
White they are as an Easter lily

Romping away to a revel chilly.
