Which is not right.
1t is wicked.

An interesting collection of thoughts
and maxims contained in the literary
works of Napoleon I. has been made by
j. Bertaut Some of the emperor's
aXaOms on war were as follows:
There are two kinds of plans of cam
paign, good and bad. The good are
nearly always wrecked by unforeseen
circumstances, which often cause the
bad to succeed.
Inevitable wars are always just.
Imagination loses battles.
Warfare is a natural state
In war there is. only one favorable
moment Genius knows how to seize it.
There are cases in which squander
ing men economies blood.
An army is Il people that obeys.
, Courage is like love. 1t feeds on
hope. .-'.'
Fearless people are not found among
those who have something to lose
Daredeviltry is an innate quality. 1t
is in the blood and often merely impa-
tience of danger. Courage is the result
of thought.

First Horse Advertisement.

The first advertisement on record re-
fers not to soap, pills or the hundred
and one other patent articles Of our
modern life, but to something much
older and much nearer the heart of
things--a lost horse. It appeared in
a paper called the Moderate, in No. 81
of that journal, issued on March 81,
1649. 1t runs thus: Reader, thou art
entreated to inquire after a backish
and kind of piebald nag, very poor.
His face, feet and flank is white, and
little white tip on his tail Wall
eyes. He. hath a hurt on his farther
buttock and doth both rack and trot
and is very fleet and full of mettle
Some fourteen handful high. About
six years old. He was stolen from grass
the 18th of March, 164S. from one John
Rotterdam of Barnet. in Hertford-
shire, sixteen miles from London.
Whoever will inquire. find him out and
make stay of him and bring or send
ddings of him shall have what con-
tent they will or can desire for their
pains. London Globe.

LISTENl

The wise man is good listener.
Anybody can talk. 1t is only the very
few who know how to listen.
| The good listener speaks only when
he has something to say. The talker
chatters whether he says anything or
| not.
The clever listener is deservedly pop
ular Most people take it as a compi
ment that you should give heed to
them.
Moreover, the good listener gets a
reputation for wisdom. He is reserved
In his expression and every one thinks,
IF he should express himself how wise
he must be-
Besides
Contradictory as it may see, the
careful listener often is esteemed TO
be good conversationalist The volu-
Bile ealker Is so appreciative of the def
erence paid hem that he goes away
sewing, st is really enjoyable to con
verse with Mr. So and So
Listen and learn
When some one says something you
do not quite understand just keep still
and listen. Sooner or later the fIue It
speaker is apt to explain himself. and
you will lose nothing and perhaps gain
q friend
Because
Your talker is likely to talk himself
into an admiration of himself as a sue
ceSSful taikpr and filing himself I'm
with admiration, what runs over is
spent in admira ton of bis appreciative
auditor.
Listen and enjoy
There are SO many things in life and
in nature aud in men and women that
you may enjoy if you are content to
keep still and hearken. Keep your eyes
open and your mouth shut and be en-
tertained. 81.
Listen and smile. "
If somebody gets mad and says mean |
things or silly things, keep still: smile |
and just listen. The mad person or. the I
foolish person will soon get tired and !
quit. II. ~ ,.t.
Listen for the hafmohies.
The world is full of harmonies If
your ear is properly attuned. The good /
listener turns his deaf ear to discords.
He hears the harmony that is denied !
the glib and the loquacious.
There is time to talk
But mostly the time is to incline your
ear and listen. 49,.

creed quit rne church and went int
! the ministry Of anoth"r
by the recent death of his mother
! the minister received the share of the
estate 10 which he was originally en-
! titled
Which raises The query:
Has any father the moral right to
disinherit a child?
Who is responsible for the chiIds BE-
ing in the world? Certainly the child
came With0"t its consent 1t was not
consulted. 1t is not responsible.
Manifestly the parents are RESPONSE
bic, The child comes into the family
by invitation and is entitled to all the
rights and privileges of the family.
Now
Whatever estate may be accumu-
lated by the family belongs to Eli the
family. Each child is justly entitled
TO its legitimate share. Justice re-
quires an even distribution.
S Nor does it matter what opinions the
child may hold. 1t cannot thereby
disinherit itself.
Our inheritance laws need to be re-
formed They have their origin in the
old English Jurisprudence, which rec
ognized the right Of the father prac-
tically to disinherit all his children
save the eldest
Our laws should be changed to cor
respond with orr enlightened moral
sense.
A father may say:

The man is mistaken. In true

1t is merely held in trust for the bene-

Is that not true, ethically?
Frequently one hears of some father |
who has cut off his child, with a shil- |
ling because the child happens to diff !
fer on some point of politics or of re-
iigiOn or business or who marries con-
trary to the wishes Of the father or

mia and the Caucasus. The Yezidis
worship the redeemed devil under the
symbol of a peacock. The belief in
this spirit is very ancient one
The Zoroastrian doctrine opposed
darkness and light, evil and good, Ain
riman and Ormuzd. Included among
the powers of evil was a very consid-
cradle amount of what in this country
would be described as unorthodoxy
Differences of theological opinion were
classed under the general heading of
the powers of the devil, and it is posi-
BILE that some of those unorthodox prac-
tees and doctrines which were con-
demned by the Zoroastrians survive
among the Yezidis. These people re-
gard the redeemed evil one as the
highest power and hold him in enor-
nous reverence.
In the center of the tail of the pea
cock is a figure of a man with veil
over his face This at first sight sug
gests Mohammed. because he is gener-
ally represented with a veil over his
face, his features being too sacred to he
seen. though now and then he is shown
with his features visible through the
veil. AS the Yezidis place Mohammed in
the same rank as the Biblical prophets,
not giving him special position. it is
not likely that the figure represents
him in this instance.

TO A YOUNG GIRL.

My dear girl:
Do you realize how easily you may
make cardinal mistake in your ac-
ceptance of future husband?
am led to saying this because Of
my recent witness of the treatment Of
young friend Of mine by u coterie of
girls .s -....
+ The young man is from the country.
His features are somewhat homely.
but he has a very strong face 1t
shows the stamp of character. Natur.
ally he is somewhat self conscious and
a little awkward because he is unused
to city ways, Es
Nevertheless
The boy is as clean as a hounds
tooth. He has moral fiber He is clean
hearted And although he may appear
somewhat at disadvantage by the
side of certain youths who are glib of
speech and sure of their department,
he is really worth a dozen of them.
1t made my blood boil to note the
treatment of this fine young fellow by
the girls who not only discarded him,
but secretly made fun of him
They know not what they do.
They do not realize the stuff Of which
this young fellow is made. They do
not realize his worth and cannot see
that in the long run he is likely to far
outshine the easy hammered youth who
by contrast seem to be his superiors.
T,oolS Won grille
That's the mistake many a girl has
made who judges by outside appear
ances and because of her limited
knowledge of human nature. It is the
mistake made by the girl who picks
the youth of snowy manners, over
looking the qualities that endure.
My young friend is not of the daz-
z1ing sort who shines socially. but is of
the kind that win come out in the
wash endure the wear and tear Of
daily life
If such young fellow comes counting
you be careful how you turn him down
Look for moral fiber.
That is the main constituent in the
makeup of a real man. Easy manners
and apparent refinement may cover up
multitude Of weaknesses, while your
poor and awkward boy may be dia-
moRd in the rough
What you want in a husband is a
IMAM.
Do not judge by exteriors.
Look for worth

POISONING ONES SELF.

Early in the morning one day this
summer l walked from my home down
town. 1t is two miles.
Most of the people in the hundreds
of houses along the street We're asleep,
and noted particularly how few of
the windows were wide open. How
many did / count, do you suppose?
Just fourteen!
TO be sure, was not able to see
all the windows of the sleeping apart
mepts, and a comparatively few Of the
houses had sleeping porches.
Many of these sleepers were poison
ing themselves in their own poison
How is that?
Why, you know, of course, the body
creates poisons and that these poisons
are carried by the blood to the lungs,
whence they are expelled in the air
that is breathed out. In order to do
their benefcent work the lungs must
inhale pure air.
When the air Is breathed out by the
lungs it is loaded with Impurities
with poison. If the lungs are not sup
piled with pure air they breathe over
again the poisoned air, and thus the
body is filed with poison.
You arise in the morning and your
face is swollen. You have been told
that 1t is because you have slept too
long, which is not true. Your face Is
swollen by the poison that is in you.
You have been breathing impure air.
Literally you have been poisoned by
your own poison-the poison manufac-
tured In your body
OF course when you get out into the
