More Labor Than You Thought.

To write a single letter of the alpha bet, it is roughly estimated, requires from 100000 to 100000 distinct proc esses, all of which are controlled and directed by the mind. To make the letter O, for instance, takes but a sec ond, yet If all the mental processes in- volved had to be performed conscious ly years would be consumed in the performance. First, the making of the O is willed in the brain, setting in mo- tion the activities of thousands of cells in the hearing areas, the seeing areas, the speech motor areas and the muscu- lar motor areas. Hundreds of nerve threads connecting these cells with va rious cells and nerve threads in the brain are set to work to organize the movement, while other nerve centers attend to the business of furnishing the requisite amount of blood. As result, the spinal centers are actuated, and finally the smaller nerves in the fingers direct the forming of the O.

A Hint to the Engaged.

There is an old superstition which says that engaged couples who are photographed together never get mar ried. Superstition is gradually dying down, so that few would be kept back by an old womans saying. There is, however, one thing which should keep engaged couples from being photo graphed together, and that is the thought that if either or both should marry some one else the fewer tokens there are of previous love affairs the greater is the chance of happiness in the final choice.-Exchange.

The kinq's Way,

It was characteristic of the late King Edward VII. that he never showed too much or too little courtesy, but just enough to maintain his reputation of being the most gracious gentleman of Europe.

At the luncheon which followed the king sat next to Mrs. Lyon, the wife of the lord pro- vost, and noticed on the table the card denoting her place.
 T must 1ter this" the king said, smiling on lhe lady.
 With his pencil he effaced the word Mrs. and in its place substituted Lady and graciously handed the card to her newly made ladyship.
