A Disguised Compliment.

Sir Alexander Mackenzie. the emf.
nent musical composer. while travelling
in Canada some time ago, had an
amusing and remarkable experience
Suddenly his train pulled up at a little
way side station. and he and the other
passengers were told that something
was wrong on the line and that they
must wait at least nine hours.
Mine hours in this hole Of q place!
exclaimed Sir Alexander. Away from
all civilizations! How l hate its very
name! What is its name, by the way?'
Putting his head out Of the carriage
window, he saw on board in front
Of him the name Of the despised sta
ton in large letters. 1t was "Macken-
Zie!'

Art.

Nobody has yet been able to define
art correctly, because every conception
OF art differs with the individual. No.
body really knows what truth is, yet
art is said to be truth plus personal
ity. Personality itself Is our most in
comprehensive enigma.
Art must possess supreme and con-
stantly increasing interest. The best
and most unfailing test of art is when
it endures. Time, therefore, is neces-
sary to proclaim it. All masterpieces
turned out overnight are not to be
trusted.
The true artist is, therefore, most
likely to be unknown. Time crowns
him master with one hand and de-
stroys him with the other.-Life.

The Jaw Of an Otter.

The Jaw OF an Otter.
You can find an example Of natures
adaptation of the jaw to use in the
case Of certain carnivora, like the ot-
ter-a big weasel that has acquired
aquatic habits. The jaws of such
beasts are so fixed in the sockets that
dislocation is impossible. In some in
stances you cannot. even after the ami
NAL is dead. separate the jaw from the
head. This arrangement is evidently
designed to enable the beast to bite to
the greatest advantage without danger
that the chewing apparatus will come
loose.

SELFlSHNESS.

There is not and in the very
nature Of things there cannot be
any real happiness coupled with
sel6shness. Even in ordinary. every
day life the unsel6.h people are the
happiest- those who work to make
others happy and who forget them

those who are seeking happiness.
