 To indicate one source of leakage let me quote Edward Howard Griggs who says: T have been making some observations of people who travel and enough time is wasted on railway trains and at railway stations to carry on all the educational activities of America if that time could be utilized with some degree of intelligence
 Here is suggestion surely for those who must journey each day to and from a place of business. Suppose the time en route or while waiting for trains were systematically util- ized. What if one were to keep in his pocket some small scientific text book or masterpiece of literature, to be dipped into as occasion offers and to be thought about when the mind is freed from other cares. The result would certainly be a toning up at once of the mental life and, in the course of years an authoritative knowledge of the subject chosen
 Elihu Burritt, The Learned Black smith,, whose great career has lately been eon1memorated, was able to read upwards of 50 ancient, modern and Oriental languages by the time he was 30 years of age. It is not nec- essary or advisable for most boys to aspire to such a night of eruditfont but it would be grand thing if they could learn the secret that made it possible. Burritts success lay in making judi cious use of odd moments and in stick ing to his task.

When you hear anyone complaining of their lot in life it is usually an able bodied man or a rugged woman Some how it falls to the lot of the feeble, the crippled and the shut-ins to be thankful that it is no worse A little experience with the ills and misfor- tunes of life seems to insure the in valids to trouble, and to add strength to hope and patience and every good quality. The able bodied murmurers are usually those who spend the day in complaining of headache. and spend the night in drinking the stuff that gives it. Most of our ills are traceable direct to our habits or our ignorance

If in stead of locating the jail on this hill and giving it the prettiest site from which to look down on the Thames river and from which to view the sur rounding country, how would it have affected Norwich had it been always Fort hill and summer hotel had been erected there called the WaWeeauaw house, where summer guests could be entertained from far and near? What if Norwich had laid out there a public park and public gardens and beauti- fled the place with walks and trees, and artificial ponds, fountains and flower beds and given either the Indian name would, not Fort hill have been beauti- full place And if Norwich had been called The Terraced City" because it's headland made into Nterraced streets made it's river front, wouldn't that have fitted too?

THE MAN WHO TALKS

E You have heard the August cricket echirping in the grass; and have quite likely heard some one remark that in
 five weeks we shall have q Killing frost, those who think so, for the cricket
 and the frost have never been so close Fly allied by time. The. cricket Is a
 forerunner of no natural paenomerla
 except that which Is connected with
 his own existence. He sings his love song and sounds his war-cry like a. savage, but he has ne more to do with the weather than tIle chariot wheels of Pharaoil's hosts which are supposed to be in the mud at the bottom of the
 Red sea. There is also the saying that the August cloud soon naefts into
 streams of rain, !" but you have not
 witnessed any of the dri5zIe- drozzles
 which are attributed to this month of
 golden-rod and purple asters August gives birth to many insects and flowers
 which the black frost makes an end of,
 and it was mans careless noting of
 time which gives rise to; these prop1le-
 tic sayings.
 Those who are fuif of jeaiouses and .prejudices are mentally unclean. Where hatred and suspicion dwell there are few sane moments or rational conclus- ions. Those who think that righteous ness can find foothoid in such company are mistaken. Anxiety, the poison of life, finds such conditions just right for it; and fear, that disturber of the peace, finds them genial company I sometimes think these soul harrassing qualities must have been what the ancients called demons and drove out by prayer and holy practices Jealous ies and suspicious handicap a; person in all directions. and do nothing. but disturb the mind and lessen the sun shine of life. Like bad companions they give all who entertain them bad name. It should be borne in mind that
 jealousy is the child of ignoranees, and
 prejudice is what rules the vulgar crowd Jealousy begets envy, and envy knows no criminal like the one who eXcelS him.
