Peter the Great and Lawyers.

Tn Russia during the reign of Peter the Great private litigants might have their suits prosecuted free of cost by lawyers paid by the state The em- peror. discovering that his subjects were being imposed upon by their legal agents, who contrived to delay trials until they had sucked their clients dry, enacted that sufficient so- licitors and attorneys should be em- ployed at handsome yearly salaries to officiate for the public in every matter of law. He ordered further that these men should insert in register written up daily the dates of applications to them and should proceed with the suits in the order in which they were received without respect of persons. If they failed to do so, if they accept ed any bribe or fee or if they were dilatory these lawyers were to be knouted and sent to Siberia.

A young American who was studying at Oxford was struck by the care with which his chambermaid cleaned his desk without disturbing his papers. To reward her he offered her some con fections which he had brought from London.
 'Mary, wouldn't you like some ot this candy ?'
 "Ho, thank you, sir. Yes, sir. But hexcuse me, sir, this ain't candy; it's sweets.
 Then she proceeded to give him les son in the difference between sugar or molasses candy and bonbons, choc olate confeetions and other sweet meats or sweets"
 Thank you for telling me the diff ference, Mary" said the student, some what amused. Tn America we call fl all candy"
 "Ho, yes, sir; in America fancy it's all the same, sir, but in Hingland we lave nyme for heverythink."

EHE MAHALIyB SIDE

+ Women are neid 10 take themselves
500 seriously TO get the full measure
Of Joy which should pervade all
human experience and activity.
Men pause long enough to punotuats
their pauses with laugh. They
laugh in and out OF business hours,
over me difficult as we'll as the easy
places. They laugh away sorrow and
go into the firing line every day with
lively. confident air.
Humanity gives Its preference to
tho glad philosopher. Ii there rs one
thing more than another that promotes
good comradeship and lends jocular
and lasting flavor to friendship, II IS a
smile and not tear.

their overestimation of nonesscntials,

cultivate a brisk brcezincss OF thought
and outlook. And this 10 the right
season OF the year to begin.
Let women plant into the soil OF

Humor is such saving grace. 1t
takes tho sting out of adversely. IT
makes the point OF view sane and
hopeful. 1t renders women among The
rest of humanity acceptable and com
panionable.
The spring of the year and the well
spring of energy and action in women
+ answer the one to the other. The ac-
tion may find expression in the looking
for and the choosing of the imme-
mortal and threadhare Easter bonnet, a
joke which has come down from Mount
Araret and Mrs. Noah. and bids fair
to hold its own until Gabriers trum-

The Saving Mania

Most women dread houee-oleaning;
and 1t is little wonder, u one could see
into their attios and closets They
have the Saving MANIA" and have In
dulged It all their lives; and many a
one. especially she who has stayed in
the old home, has not only her own,
hut the denominations of generations
or women before her.
Their plea is "being saving and hav-
ms things when they arc wanted" But
zee the piles of old papers, and maga>
zines. and books that arc never looked
at, but that might have given 40 much
happiness before they were hopelessly
never 10 be nended. that would make
some less fortunate woman happy The
discarded clothing and hats and shoes
mat are hung away until attacked
done so much good. The trunks and
boxes of half-worn quilts and biAn-
kets. not good enough to use and too
good to throw away. And besides all
these things that might have given
so much comfort, are quantities of
utterly useless trash.
How can any sensible woman be so
selfish, and so self-abusive at the same
time. as to keep what benefits her IN
no possible way, and vet makes her
SO much extra work every year? Why
not dispose of things to the best pos
Eiblo advantage as they become use
less and save half the work OF the
spring overhauling as well as do a
great deal Of good?
But some people say. and It is a
half-truth. 1T is always the we'll -to-do
people who save: that is why they
prosper" 1t is the prosperous woman
who puts away so many things be-
cause she can afford to replace them
with something better. when her less
fortunate sister would use them to
shrods. Her, good fortune accounts
for her so-called saving. not the saw
ing for her good fortune.
Why not try, for while. to save
comfort and suffering and the time
and labor required to caro- for the
