True Worth of Man.

Proverbs says, by the blessing OF
the upright the city is exalted" A
good, true, righteous man is benefit
to a city. His own personality may be
worth thousands to community. 1t
is not the man who is rich that adds
to the welfare of city. He may own
banks, factories, stores and palatial
homes, and yet prove a dead weight
to a town. The second part of the
verse we quoted, tells this. 1t says,
but it is overthrow by the mouth of
the wicked" 1t is what a man is for
true worth, for integrity, for nobility
of purpose that constitutes his citizen
ship, for good or bad. Where mans
ideals are loose, his character de-
PRAYED, he does not render a real sery-
ice to a community whatever his
wealth may be. Water seeks its own
level" and the level of a community
is it's citizenship, and to that level the
community may go. Factories, rail-
ways, architecture, schoolhouses,
churches, will not of themselves exalt
a city. It takes virtue, integrity, dill
gence to do that-Ohio State Journal

Curiosity of Fashion.

One of the curiosities of fashion IS
the return of the walking stick to
favor. 1t has had it's ups and downs
ever since the days of Pericles, when
no Athenian gentleman dared be seen
abroad without it. Just as five-and-
twenty years ago the Oxford under
graduate, when not in flannels or
academical, must carry a walking
stick.
1t is certainly not the undergraduate
who is bringing the former fashion IN
again, for his pose in Norfolk jacket
and SLOUGH in slippers and without
a hat A "clouded cane" would be
out of place with such accompani
ments Nor do we think it is the
actor, which has always stood out
lite-aily-against the support of the
stick in the streets, knowing that its
nice conduct will spoil his poise-

What Is Your Aim?

It depends chiefly whether you are
working for the worlds praise or the
worlds good, how it's commentator
or its condemnation Is given. But if
you will work for the praise Of that
inner spirit, which, for lack of bet
ter name, we call conscience, no pain
shall be felt at what the world does
or says. In truth, if you have high
and good purpose and honestly try to
attain it, you must apparently fail, in
some measure, because all strength is
founded on unseen supports, and the
highest tower is that whose base ex-
tends the farthest underground. But
mere failure should be the last thing
to daunt you. Remember how the
oyster mends its wounded shell
with pearl!-Th Optimist.

The first successful maker was Gus
sepangelo Fonzi, an Italian dentist,
who started practice in Paris in 1898,
and, thanks to his skillful treatment
of Lucien Bonaparte, soon made his
way. After years of experiment he
discovered the substance from which
artificial teeth are still made, and re-
ceived the gold medal of the French
Academy of Science. One of the EARL.
est persons fitted with false teeth was
the empress of Russia. After Water

then to Madrid, where Ferli land VII.
