RULES OF LIFE.

My method is the freshest.
oldest, simplest and usefulest.
Forget the past. forget the fu-
ture. Life Is a habit as hard
or as easy to acquire as any
other In life. I'm no genius. My
friends have found that out.
But take no thought for the fu-
ture nor the past. When the
load OF tomorrow is added to the
load OF yesterday many men fall
ter on the way. The first TWO
hours Of a day determine that
day. Quit tobacco and liquor
Bright eyes are the thing. The
control Of the mind as a work
Ing machine, is the end OF all
education This can be accom-.
plished with deliberation. The
most striking thing about Amer
lea is its hurry. Europeans ac-
cornplish just as much without
that everlasting rush.-Dr. VIII
liam Osler.

Tho Flowing of Metals,

1t is perhaps not generally known
that one of the most important
properties of metals employed in
striking coins and medals and
stamping articles of jewelry is that
Of flowing under pressure. Standard
silver is remarkable for this prop
erty. The flow takes place when
the metal is subjected to rolling,
stamping or hammering, and the
particles of metal are thus carried
into the sunken parts of the die
without fracturing. and a perfect
impression is produced.

Aid TO Memory

Sally Sweeney was accustomed to
visit Galway twice every week I'm or.
der to get anything needed by the fam.
lily. Though she could neither reau
nor write she never forgot any of the
messages with which the family had
intrusted her. But once, however, her
memory failed her. She had been or,
dered by one of the family to buy 9.
yard OF some color OF satin. The ac.
customed word slipped her mind. But
she was not to be baffied by that little
word. She walked into dry goods

Brief Holiday.
Joy is like a bird in flight which
dips in its passing and touches US
with its wings. 1t comes from out OF
far country and 1t tracks itB way
it will recover It's former attitude. its
speed, and song. It's throbbing heart
passes high over our throbbing cit
les and frozen hills. AS we watch
that flight of untrammeled wing we
wish that somehow we might cap
ture that blitheness and teach It to
dwell among men. Why should 1t
pause but never abide? We would
have that Joy abide so fxedly that 1t
would become peace. The holiday
season is like that. Il stoops for
little out of space, draws near our
dim earth, and sheds its brightness
among men. AS swiftly as 1t came, 30
swiftly it goes again. And yet each
year it draws more close and stays
for longer time; its radiance is re-
vealed to US more clearly, full Of
grace and truth.-Collier's Weekly.

Tossing the Caber.

One Of the strangest and most an
cient games of Bonny Scotland Is
throwing the caber, than which there
Is probably no more severe test of
muscle and skill, says Popular Me-
chanics. The game has been played
by the hardy Scots since the earliest
times and is still one of the feature
events on the programs of all athletic
contests! The caber Is long section
OF tree trunk, tapered so that it Is no.
ticeably smaller at one end than at
the other. The man who essays to
test his strength by tossing it raises
the pole to vertical position in his
hands, smaller end down, and then
throws 1t into the air and away from
him. He must make tie large end Of
the pole hit the ground and the pole
hit such way that the small end will
describe half circle. The prize goes
to the man whose caber, having been
thrown in the manner described, lands
on the ground with its smaller end
tarthest away from the throwing point.
