BEST OF OURSELVES.

Some one had spoken critically of
Della, and her intimate friend came
to her defense IT'S because you
don't know Della that you feel that
way. She always shows the worst
side of herself to strangers. After
you got acquainted with her, you'd
be sure to like her.
Probably Delia's; friend spoke the
truth, but with all her loyalty she
could not have helped admitting that
Delia's way was unfortunate. The
self she showed to strangers was as
unattractive and prickly as a chest
nut burr. There was good inside, but
it took long acquaintance to get at
the hidden sweetness. And only a
few people had the time and patience
ever to discover the real Della.
One of the most important lessons
we can learn is to show four. best
selves to strangers as well as to our
intimates. There is neither reason
nor excuse for encrusting ourselves
in an armor of brusque manners and
luullSTGHCe WACH uSHSdtH eHtio 10
kindness and sympathy. And while
we should strive to develop ourselves
SO that long acquaintance should con-
tinually reveal new worth, there is
no reason why long acquaintance
should be necessary to reveal some
thing good in us. Let us learn to
show even strangers the best of bur-
selves.

ENJOYING LIFE.

| believe that twice as much may
be enjoyed in this life, as is now en-
joyed, if people would only take and
use the blessings which Heaven con-
fers on them for present use. We
strive to accumulate beyond our
wants, and beyond the wants of our
families.
In doing this, we deny to ourselves
leisure, recreation, culture and social
relaxation. When wealth has been
won, our power to enjoy it is past,
and it goes into the hands Of children
whose best life it spoils. 1t is not
often that great acoumulations of
wealth do anybody good. They usually
spoil the happiness CT two genera
tions-one in the getting, and one in
the spending.
I love the man who earns his money
w:sh the special design of spending it
the man who regards money only
as a means of procuring that which
shall supply the passing wants of his
nature-of his whole nature-and for
securing education to his children,
and comfort to his old age. 1t is to
such that men go for subscriptions to
worthy objects. 1t is by the fireside
and at the board of such that I am
happy. It is with the free and gen
erous souls of such that | delight to
come in contact. It is for such souls
that life is made. Such men as these
go on from year to year, building up
their homes, making them abodes of
beauty and plenty, and places of re-
freshment for five hundred cordial
hearts, Wherever they go, hands of
warm good fellows are held out to
them. They have the blessing of the
helpless, and the envy Of no man
Sometimes, perhaps, their wives are
envied by the wives of other men, but
1T is probably out of the power of
either party to help that.

TEN MASTERFuL. RULES.

A Chicago business owner has
drawn up a list of rules which he calls
the Ten Commandments and posted
them over his establishment. Here
they are:
Rule Don't lie--it wastes my time
and yours. I'm sure to catch you in
the end, and that's the wrong end.
Rule 2-Watch your work, not the
clock. A long days work makes a
long day short, and q short days work
makes my face long.
Rule 3-GiYe me more than expect
and I'll give you more than you ex-
pect. | can afford to increase your
pay if you increase my profits.
Rule 4-You owe so much to your
self that you can't afford to owe any
body else. Keep out of debt or keep
out of my shops.
Rule 5-Dishonesty is never an ac-
cident. Good men, like good women,
can't see temptation when they meet
it
Rule 6-Mind your own business
and in time you'll have business of
your own to mind.
Rule Don't do anything here
which hurts your self-respect. The
employee who is willing to steal for
me is capable OF stealing from me.
Rule SITS none of my business
what you do at night. But if dissi-
patton affects what you do the next
day, and you do half as much as
demand, you'll last half as long as
you hoped.
Rule 9-Dont tell me what I'd like
to hear, but what l ought to hear.
don't want a valet to my vanity, but
/ need one for my dollars.
Rule 10-Don't complain if l com.
plain--if you're worth while correcting,
you're worth while keeping. I don't
waste time cutting specks out of rotten
apples.

WORDS.

Words have family trees. Did you
ever wonder about their origin? Some
times their meaning today is much
less pleasant that it was long age.
Thus, "hypocrite" once was only an
actor, the player of part on the
stage. So the orator, who was con-
summate actor, was also a hypocrite.
The word, even in old Greek, soon
was applied to any dissembler because
the life of such person was found to
resemble the histrionic art in striving
to appear different from what it really
was The English language took it up
and the moral judgment of the Eng
disappearing people makes it carry
the heaviest weight of odium that can
be attached to personal character.
pretend" was once an innocent word
and counterfeit" simply meant imita-
ton, conveying no suggestion that the
imitation was to be fraudulently sub
stituted for the original.
The "boor" was originally hus-
bandman, and the villain was only
laborer or peasant attached to the villa
or farm. Heather" meant merely a
dweller on the heath, and pagan"
was dweller in the open country.
, Idiot" a Greek word, meant only a
private person as distinguished from
one clothed with Office and in this pri-
mary sense it was often used in Eng
lish Of two centuries ago, as when
Jeremy Taylor said: Humility is
duty in great ones as well as in
idiots" "Obsequies" was used former
ly only in relation to funerals.
Shakespeare has many examples of
the word applied in this sense. 1t
does not seem formerly to have con-
veyed any idea of cringing or insin-
Gritty For the curious in the matter
Of the origin of words we present a
few of another class. A "milliner"
was originally a man, and was SO
called from Milan, whence he imported
female fnery. Shakespeare says:
He was perfumed like milliner,"
and Ben Jonson settles the question
of the sex of the original milliners in
the words, ITO conceal such real or
naments as these and shadow their
glory, as a milliners wife does her
rough stomacher with a smoky lawn
or black cyprus"
Nicotine" is derived from the name
of John Nicot, who introduced tobacco
into France in 1860. "Paraffine" was
so named from the Latin words
"Parum" 0ittle) and "affinis" (kin),
because it had little affinity with any
known substance. "Poltroon" is from
the Latin ''police truncato' tdeprived
of the thumb, it having been COM
mon practice among the Romans to
avoid service in the wars Hence our
word poltroon for coward The 'tur-
key" is an American bird, not from
Turkey at all, though it was said to be
from Turkey when it was first seen in
London.

PAINTING THE LILY.

God has given a certain young
woman-let us call her Mildred "a
beautiful face. Her eyes are bright
and black and sparkling. Her cheeks
are round and full and tinted with the
richness of the sunset slow; her
brow is pure and clear as alabaster,
and a mass of raven hair, glory to
her. shadows ALL Mankind has al
ways sought the perfection of ma
terial creation in woman's face; the
ultimate type Of human beauty will
always be the madonna. The dis
tinguishing note OF man is strength,
of woman beauty. Mildred is fair
the gift of the charming face. But
Mildred is not satisfied. She has
learned to paint the lily; in fact, al
most every maiden of high-school
age, and many younger, has learned
this sorry act. So Mildred ''getteth
her a grievous" pot of rouge and a
package of powder and a sheaf Of
pencils concocted by q Partisan chem
ist from the by-products of greasy
factories, and tries her hand at i'm
proving upon the work Of her Creator.
The result is sad. Mildred has
'sicklied DER" the glow in her cheeks,
has dimmed the sparkle in her eye,
has fiattened the rounded shadow
from her eyebrows into a miniature
porous plaster. Her beauty now re-
minds one of the wicked under
world: CHASTITY, manufactured, pitt
full; not of heaven: vital, spontaneous,
charming.
