The Moral life,

Moral principle is not thinking the
right thing, but doing it. 1t is giving
16 ounces to the pound and Sc inches
to the yard. 1t is treating your neigh
Dor kindly. 1t is not worrying others.
There are some people who pride
themselves on holding to high moral
principle, who are an exceeding, great
annoyance to the people they meet. or
all the unprincipled things in this
world, making people unhappy Is the
meanest. Yet there are many people
who are sticklers to moral duty, doing
that very thing every day. He is
mean thief who will take from another
his peace of mind. One man told US
he didn't sleep a whole night because
Of a needless remark a thoughtless
friend made to him. There are many
people who are such confirmed mate
rialists that they think you can only
do harm to a man hy hitting him with
a club or stealing his chickens. They
don't seem to know there is mental
and spiritual world, where all real
feeling dwells and where the deepest
torture may be inhicted.-Ohio State

REASON FOR THE MUSTACHE
In Evidence as Having Been Worn by
British Soldiers as Measure OF
Military Necessity.

The correspondent who writes to a
contemporary suggesting that the
British war office authorities should
insist on soldiers being clean shaven
instead of ordering them to wear mus
taches, might have alleged TeutOnic
influence in the adoption of the mus
tache of the British army. The idea
was first borrowed from a batch OF
Austrian officers quartered with some
of our troops on the South coast dur
ing the Waterloo campaign. 1t was
then taken up by the guards, who very
much resented any attempt on the
part of mere line regiments to follow
the new fashion. The winter cam
paign in the Crimea led our men to
grow full boards for warmth, and
these, modified into flowing whiskers
cPicadilly weepers," as they came
to be called on their return to Lon
don, were long regarded as the mark
of the man of fashion.-LOndOn

THE HEART OF A BOY

The Boy lay through the long night
with wide-open eyes save when SOME
member of his family passed through
his small room, whereupon he closed
them in pretense Of sleep, but wheh
the gray dawn sifted silently through
his unshaded window he could no
longer endure the stiffness he had
kept. Slipping swiftly into his clothes,
he crept through the kitchen door,
stole through the enshrouGing fog or
the soft spring morning to the front
of the house and stood gazing silently
across the village road to the house
on the ether side which the mist
yelled from his sight. He wondered
vaguely if the white roses still hung
their dropping heads against the panel
of the front door or if they had been
taken in with the rest which kept
watch beside Little Girl as she lay
among the white satin folds of her
lovely casket, her lips smiling bravely
in answer to an Angels call.
They had told The Boy the day be-
fore that he might 60 in and his moth
err had taken his hand In hers to give
him courage, when he gently olsen
gagged it and sped away to the woods,
following the trail along which he had
held back the tapping branches for

"CIasslcal" Music,

Many people have an idea that only
the compositions of the old masters
are classical and frequently imagine
that these are classical because they
belong to the past. 1t Is not antiquity
or the name of the composer that de-
termines whether a piece of music is
classical or otherwise. The true mean.
ing of classical music is: Compost.
tons which maintain certain STAN
dard; music of the first rank. Compo.
sitions can be classical and romantic
at the same time. The word romantic,
as applied to music, means magma
tive, fairylike. Music which is clas-
steal and at the same time romantic,
Is more emotional, more fanciful.
more poetic and less rigid and formal
than strictly classical compositions.
For example, Bach's works are, more
frequently, strictly classical, whereas
Mendelssohn and Schumann's are
both classical and romantic.

Democratic Swiss Army.

1t is democratic army, that of the
Swiss. The whole manhood of the ma
ton is liable to service, and theSe are
no officers but those who have served
as privates. There are no such col
leges as at West Point or Woolwich
or Sandhurst, but the man who Is to
become an officer must get his instruc-
ton in a few weeks training in the
schools at Thun or Basel. The con-
federation has the control OF the
skilled mechanics, such as engineers.
the sanitary corps. the commissariat.
So much the democratic country has
left to the central government. But
the cantons have to look after and sup
ply the infantry, and their duty Is to
ksee that no man able in body and
mind evades his military service; but
no canton may keep more than 300
men as a permanent force, which Is
a curious illustration of the double
sovereignty in that crinkle of Europe.

SWISS HOTELS W0NDR0US

You may climb up the heights by
the aid of railways, funiculars. racks

nothing but this hotel hemmed in on
all sides by snowy crags and made
impregnable by precspices and treach-

OF Europe, when the lesser national
tiles are to disappear. the Switzers
will take armed refuge in their far

mandates Of the concert
For the hotel, no matter how remote
It be, lacks nothing that is mentioned
in the dictionary OF comfort. Beyond
its walls your life is not worth twelve
hours purchase.
You would not die Of hunger, be-
cause you would perish Of cold.
At best you might hit on some
peasants cottage in which the stand
ards Of existence had not changed for
a century.
But once pass within the portals Of
the grand hotel, and you become the
spoiled darling Of an intricate organi.

ONE OF NATURES MARVELS
Great Stone Face Of the Pyrenees Has
Entranced Artists From All
Parts Of the World.

There is probably no more remark
ably example Of natural statuary in
the world than the famous stone face
OF the Pyrenees, in Spain. The eleva-
tion stands alone, surrounded by val.
leys so that the profile dominates the
skyline for many miles.
The chin is firmly modelled, while
the lips seem to be tightly compressed.
The line representing the nose Is
drawn with strong bold stroke, Civ.
ing it a truly Castilian character.
The mountain with this singular con-
tour rises SO high above the surround
ing country that it may be seen for
many miles. 1t is, besides, modelled
on such heroic lines that the appear
ance OF foliage, even the growth OF
forest, does not alter the lifelike ap.
pearance throughout the seasons.

OVERCOMING FEAR OF DEATH
UseIessness of Feeling Apparent to
All, But Few Ever Succeed In
Mastering 1t.

The spirit will still be in measure
the slave of the body while we are
capable OF fear. The dream in our
hearts is somehow to break through
the last barrier of fear-to come cut.
as someone has said, on the other side
of fear. The uselessness Of the fear
of death is as apparent to US as the
sun in the sky. Its ignobleness is
thing that haunts all who are subject
to it.
Whether the love Of death as the
ieliverer in the spirit of Walt Whit
man is q passion to be cultivated may
be doubted. Those who have scorned
death most, as the great gentlemen or
the renaissance did, saw 1t none the
less the destroyer Of the beauty OF
mems bodies and OF the light Of the
world as the common man knows 1t.
To the religious mind, which accepts
the vision of real and populated
world happier than this beyond the
grave, death is no doubt the ueHVerer'
But even to most religious men this
world has gathered about it all the
dearness of home; death, at its best,
is an exile, a desertion. They have
the bravery to die; but their bravery
has the sadness of Hectors. And yet,
as with Hector, some instinct drives
them to despise this death OF the BODY,
to accept this exile as more to be de-
sired than safety and a mans own
hearth and children.
Christian, pagan, and atheist are at
one in this. They feel that the life OF
the body itself can be fully enjoyed
only when the fear of those that Kill
the body has been utterly overcome

Little Girl ever since he could remem.
Der, and the hour had been twilight
when he returned. He had made sure
that no one was near Little Girl when
he slipped into the room where she
lay smiling and left the arbutus he
had brought clasped in her stiff little
fingers. In his hunt for the trailing
flush Of scented color he had assuaged
some Of the anguish that ate into his
heart. 1t had seemed to him often that
Little Girl was at his side, pointing
out the hillsides where the loveliest
flowers hid beneath the pine needles.
When he tucked the loveliest of his
fragrant blossoms under the stiff little
fingers The Boys eyes fingered on the
quiet face with its tender lips smiling
and seeing no one near he stood on
tiptoe, kissed the once rosebud mouth
and fled again into the woods they
both had loved and traversed.
And now it was morning; the day
OF the funeral! The house across the
road was shrouded in fog, and vaguely
The Boy wondered II the arbutus lived
yet in the little dead hand, and If Lit
tie Girl still was smiling,
All, but she would not smile when
they put her under the ground! And
the arbutus would die without air. All
night he had pondered the matter In
his mind, and DULY he had told him
self over and over again that they
must not put Little Girl beneath the
ground where 1t was cold and dark
and lonely. But even as he said these
things to himself he knew in his ach-
ing heart that 1t would be done, and
now as he stood in the soft spring
fog, his fearless eyes straining across
the street. panic seized his young
heart-the sort Of panic that Is born
Of the utter futility of human purpose
in opposition to the will Of God.
Miserably The Boy crept back into
the house, and from window watched
the new day born.
AS the morning passed and the fos
lifted he saw someone come out Of
the house across the road and take
down the white roses that dropped
