Tho Value of Responsibility,

Greater than the value of contact
with facts Is the value of responsible
ity. In a mans life it is the arrival Of
some responsibility which arouses the
powers and makes durable the quail
ties of manliness. The effect Of respon-
sibility is instantaneous. 1t is like a
magnet In Its power to charge the in
dividual with the faculties needed for
the matter In hand. A light is gener-
ated among the fragments Of informa-
ton. Even after systematic educa-
ton these fragments seem to lie in the
mind In a chance order until this light
appears and shows them ready for use;
then abilities develop which never
would develop, even with practice. with
out responsibility.-A Monthly.

rhe BURGLARS Talisman.

Coal is used for other than heating
purposes. For centuries piece OF
coal carried on the person has been
held to bring good luck. This belle;
still survives among burglars. They
invariably carry a small piece Of coal
with them when they start out on an
expedition. The more successful they
are and the greater their good luck in
avoiding capture the more highly do
they prize their talisman. This belief
In the virtues Of coal is accounted for
in the old superstition, traceable to sun
worship, Of regarding any object asso-
ciated with fire as an emblem Of the
solar rays and a preventative against
evil spirits.-London Chronicle.

Goino TO Bed In India.

Going to bed in India is a very diff
ferent process from going to bed at
home. To begin with, 1t is a far less
formal process. There is in the hot
season no shutting Of the door, no cut
ding yourself of from the outer world.
no going upstairs and finally no getting
into bed. You merely lie down on your
bed, which. with its bedding is so SIM
pie as to be worth describing. The bed
is a wooden frame with webbing
laced across 1t. and each bed has a
thin cotton mattress. Over this one
sheet is spread. and two pillows go to
each bed, holsters not being used.
That's all. Some people do not even
have the mattress. preferring the cool.

scriptiOn from a South African paper
of q violin solo at a concert: "He
whacks it and whips 1t, and wipes ii
and thumps it, and shakes 1t and
squeezes 1t, and tickles it and lifts it,
and lowers it and swings it, and plucks
it and taps it, and raps 1t and pats 1t.
and strokes 1t, and all the while the
music goes on. 1t sings and it whistles,
1t means and it groans, it screams and
1t screeches, 1t laughs and giggles, and
chuckles and smokers, it shivers and
shakes, it shudders and trembles, it
roars and 1t scolds, it hurries and sour
ries, jumps, runs and tumbles, gets up
and runs again."

SELF CONTROL

but that mldness and sendeness, as
they are more agreeable to human
