DO YOU TAKE THE YOUTHS COM
PANION.

John Wesley used to say that the
devil ought not TO have all the good
tunes. The editors of The Youths
Companion think that he ought not
to have all the entertaining reading,
either. So they make The Compan-
ion one of the most attractive period
icals ever published, yet one whose
influence can be trusted as you would
trust your fathers or mothers. That
explains why The Companion has
thousands upon thousands of readers
who every Thursday night, under in
Vulnerable lamps, in village after viii
lage, town after town, bend with
eager faces over the fascinating pages
of the new number just at hand, alb
sorbing the accounts Of strange and
perilous adventure, the droIl sketches
of domestic predicaments, the de-
lightful stories of the good old times
when the world logged little slower
than now, the contributions by men
ana women Of light and leading.
There is no other paper quite like it,

YOUR LETTER.

How long has .: been since you
have written letter to the old folks
at home?
do you realize what such letter
means TO father and mother?
Father will get it after the mail is
distributed at the village postoffice,
along with the county paper, per-
7aaps, and a circular, and he will
know the handwriting instantly.
He will not open it.
Your letter is too precious for that.
Your letter is more than an incident;
1t constitutes an epoch. And father
usiu put it into his pocket carefully
and go home.
a letter from john, mother"
Mother dries her hands and sits
down in her chair. while father gets
out and carefully wipes his reading
spectacles. And father begins:-
Dear father and mother"
That isn't much, to be sure. It
was the natural way for you to begin
your letter. But when father reads
ecxnat much he stops bit to clear his
Tvorz face OF your mother.
EVERY word is read.
There are interims when they stop
e1o make ordinations or comments.
They even laugh heartily over your
Crxuae attempts at humor. And so on

Es4asner holds the letter awhile and
after u time, at mothers request,

lBorH WE'RE MICHIGAN "MEN'
story Of Prominent Educator and Lat.
In Teacher Whom He Found In
Lonely Town.

A prominent educator tells this
story to illustrate the pride which
all collegians take in their own alma
mater. He studied at state uni
versity where coeducation was
strongly rooted. For Latin teach
er he had a man famous for the sue
cess of his peculiar language method.
After / had been out of college a
few years l became inspector of high
schools for the state university IN
another state. In a lonely, out-of-
the-way town l found woman who
taught Latin so well that thought
she could have learned it nowhere
but from my own old professor.
/ did not ask her outright, but be
gan talking, in a rambling way,
about her method. / found excuse
to pronounce some Latin word, and
now and then / would bring in a
phrase which ] knew the professor
was fond of using.
The woman's face took on a puz-
zled expression, as if she we're dimly
remembering something. Then she
began to look at me suspiciously,
and a half-smile slowly dawned in
her eyes.
AT last l launched into one of the
professors funny stories, which l
knew he must have repeated year
after year. The evidence was COM
plete. She waited for no more. She
reached for my hand, and her face
showed how much she had missed
the old college associations in that
lonely spot and how dear in her
memory they still were.
"Tell me" she exclaimed, "are
you Michigan man?"

BUILT OF HANDSOME GRANITE
Aberdeen, Chief City Of the Highlands,
Is Really Beautiful and Excel
lently Paved.

aberdeen" says Mr.. Wilson, ais
the chief city of the highlands and
the third in size and commercial inn
portance IN Scotland. 1t has 100000
inhabitants and is really a place OF
marked beauty. Every home in it
and every public building or com-
mercial structure is of the native
rock, the town being situated in the
midst of granite quarries and being
the center Of the stone industry in
Great Britain. The colors are gray
and a beautiful pink, and the Aber-
deem granite is shipped to all parts
of the world. 1t is also the worlds
greatest fish market, the daily catch
brought there by the fishermen who
scour the seas with their trawl nets
for hundreds of miles in every di-
rection, amounting to thousands OF
tons.
Having plenty OF material rgh'
at hand Aberdeen is one of the best.
paved cities in Europe, and Union
street is one of the most noted urban
highways in the United Kingdom
imposing in width, and its paving
exciting the admiration Of every Wis
itor. All the Scotch roads are good

TO FILL A L0NG-FELT WANT
Way Suggested In Which Anatonnist'
Could Get First Class Brains
for Dissection.

We are sure that the deepest SYM
pathy will be felt in all classes of
society with the anatomists who are
complaining that they are deficient
in knowledge of the anatomy and
structure of the human brain mere
ly because of the difficulty of obtain
ing first-class brains for dissection.
This long-felt want should certain
ly be supplied, but that the plan of
the editor of American Medicine to
urge intelligent men to will their
brains to science is sure way out
of the difficulty may well be doubted.
We are afraid the scientific inves-
tigators will have an oversupply of
very ordinary brains on their hands
if the suggestion of American Medi-
cine is carried out. A better way
would be for the men Of science to
select the brains they think they
want, on the hoof, so to speak, apply
for the use of them when the time
comes, and be content to wait. 1t
would undoubtedly be esteemed a
high honor for a man to be singled
out this way, stimulating to the OBJ
ject himself and immensely crafty
ing to his family. 1t would be a
new and precious order of merit
