SHARPENING A PENCIL.
The Way a. Child Docs It Is an Index
 to lie Character.

The Way a. Child Does It Is an Index
 E to its Character.
 It is very often the little things that children do which give the best indi- cation of what their future characters will be. Schoolteachers, for instance, have first rate opportunity for watch ing the different traits in the children who come before them. In their work and in their play the sort of man or woman the child will become is daily unfolded. In such small matter even as the sharpening of pencil valuable hints may be obtained by any one in the least observant. Here it may easi- ly be discovered whether boy or girl is careful, destructive, wasteful or eco nomical.
 The boy, for instance, who sharpens his pencil into stub is inclined to be economical, careful and quick in after life. Tue boy or girl who takes an inordinately long time to make slen- der point, cutting very precisely and regularly all the time will usually prove to be of an artistic and dreamy disposition. The child who, regardless of the look of the pencil, gouges out great pieces in order to get to the lead will show impulsiveness and generos- ity.
 Mere destructiveness, however, be- comes apparent when a child takes a delight in sticking his knife in his pen ell and splitting 1t or destroying it in some other way.
 Parents. watch your children when sharpening their pencils, and correct and advise them accordingly. - Pear sons Weekly.

cARLYLE's FIRST LOVE.
She May Have Been the BIumIine of
 "Sartor Resartus."

"Sartor Resartus."
 During the year 1918 Thomas Car lyle, the Scotch philosopher, was liv- ing at Kirkcaldy, and he seems then for the first time to have fallen in love. The lady appears not to have returned the attachment, although she, with great insight, at the age of twenty-two, perceived the genius of her suitor of twenty-five.
 In the letter in which she took leave of her admirer she used these signifi- cant expressions: Cultivate the mild CT dispositions of your heart. subdue the more extravagant visions of the brain. ' Genius will render you great. May virtue render you beloved! Let your light shine before men, and think them not unworthy this trouble" "
 Many years after, when Carlyle wrote his "reminiscences, he described the episode. He says that Margaret Gordon continued for, perhaps, some three years a figure hanging more or less in my fancy, on the usual roman tic and latterly quite elegiac and silent terms.'
 The real interest of the story is: Was Margaret Gordon the original of the Blumline of "Sartor Resartus?' One critic would have us answer that, although Jane Welsh might have in- spired some of the details, it was Mar garet Gordon who was the true origi- nal.-New York Telegram.

 "Hello, sonnyr' shouted the sales man. How long has that horse been dead?"
 Quick as flash the boy replied, "Three days, but you're the first buz- gard that has noticed it."

WORK Vs. HIGH SCHOOL.

Many boys think they should be earning their own living as soon as they get big enough to work along side a man and hold up their end. Ambition to do something, to be earn ing something, to become indepen- dent of his fathers support, to re- lieve that father of what is evidently a burden, drives many boy away from school before he is half way prepared to meet the requirements of mans place in society.
 Others become dazzled by the gla- mour of a place in the business cir cles of the town. It appears to be so much better than even the highest place in the high school that the boy loses sight of the fact that the lead CTS in that business circle are many of them men of liberal education.
 To work is too often the necessity of the boy who reaches the age of 15 or 16 years. But it is always mis- fortune to the boy who is forced into the whirl of industry thus young and inexperienced and uneducated. The boy who does not have to work at that age is foolish to abandon the op- portunity presented by the high school for chance to see the inner workings of the business world.
 There are few places that an un- prepared boy can get in business that are anything better than manual la bor, lowpriced jobs. Everything in this day of the world is specialized, special training for this work or that. But the boy who has had broad foundation of education upon which to erect his special training is worth more to himself and to society than the boy who attempts to erect tall speciality upon foundation of grade school preparation.
 There are other boys who make mistakes which should not be made. Boys who really have to work cannot always find work to do. If instead of loafing around hoping and waiting for job to appear, these boys will enter the high school, they will be profitably using the time which is wasted waiting for job. An educa- tion is often the difference between going through life as a common la borer or as a leader of men. It is the investment of a few weeks of long life in a venture that will always pay big dividends. Not always in money, but if not then in something which money cannot buy for the man who lacks it.
 And remember that there is always an education to be obtained at the high school and the college which is not taught in the classroom; a knowl- edge which is gathered from contact with other students, the application of many minds, of the things learned in the classroom at the time it is learned.
