HOW PHILIP WAS GRATED.


Philip saw the empty wood-box, but
he did not want to fill il. When he
went to get a, drink of water the wa
ter-pail was empty, too; but he said
never mind, he guessed he was not SO
very thirsty. 1t was bother filling
water-pails. And when grandmother
took down her empty cinnamon can,
she distinctly said, 20 dear met" but
Philip did not want - hear her. 1t
was half a mile to the Four Corner
store.
Philip was cross sour, grand
mother called it, with a little sigh.
I'm afraid our Philip is getting to be
a sour boy, Amasa," she said.
Amasa was grandfather, and to tell
the truth, grandfather was afraid so,
too.

looked at her father forgivingly.

MIGHT HAVE CHANGED HISTORY

Here is the story of an averted
tragedy which, if it had not been
averted, might have changed the
whole course of modern history in
Europe. The time was about three
weeks after SadoWa. The place was
the little village of Pirsdorf, about
thirty miles from Vienna. King
William of Prussia and Bismarck
were there, and they sat down on a
terrace outside a small cabin to drink
beer. Kern, an Austrian forester, saw
them. He regarded them as the
deadly enemies of his country. He
was an excellent marksman, and he
had his double barreled gun with him.
Taking aim from behind cover, he was
about to fire when his wife, seeing
what he was after and fearing the
consequences, clutched him by the
coattails. He turned to argue with
her, and before the argument was
finished the king and his chancellor
had disappeared. So nothing happen
ed. But If Kern had been allowed
to fire there might have been no
German empire.

BLARNEY CASTLE.

This venerable pile, SO famous in.
to the MacCarthys of Desmond, one
of the most illustrious of the septs
of ancient Ireland. The castle was
erected about the middle of the fiji
teenth century by Cormac MacCar
thy, surnamed "Laidhir, Or the
Stout" who was third in lineal de-
scent from Dermot MacCarthy, first
feudal lord and founder of the house
of Muskerry, who was slain by the
O'Mahony's A. D. 1867. Cormac,
Lord Muskerry, was distinguished as
founder of castles, abbeys, nun
To him we owe the foundation of the
beautiful abbey and castle of Kilcrea,
now in ruins, on the banks of the
Bride.
He was slain in A. d. 1894, and
was buried in Kilcrea Abbey, where,
early in the present century, his tomb
was to be seen, bearing an appropri-
ate inscription in Latin, copy of
which was published in the Dublin
Penny Journal (Vol. l., p. So. The
devotion of Donogh, fourth Earl of
Muskerry and iClancarthy, to the
cause of James H., led to the for
fixture of the immense estates of the
family, which have been estimated as
equivalent at this day to the mag
nificent sum of 100000 of English
money nor annl1m and aS an offset
to which the eXiled Earl was allowed
pension of $500 a year. Barney
Castle thereafter passed by purchase
from the Crown into the hands, first,
of Sir Richard Pyne, Lord Chief-Jus-
tice, A. ID. 1902; and next, in A. d.
1903, of General Sir James Jeffereys
or Jeffries, whose descendants remain
in possession of the property. Blar
ney Castle has a notable military his
tory, dating back to the sixteenth and
seventeenth century.

SOME OF HENRY FoRD'S RULES
FOR SUCCESS.

Everything begins with thought.
If man knows where he is going
nothing will stop him.
Every man gets what he deserves;
if his thinking is wrong he will lose
out.
Most people make the initial mis-
take in business of thinking about the
dollar.
If a man is trying in his business
to serve the good Of others the money
will come, it is bound to come, he
cannot fail.
One of the first things every man
must realize if he is going to succeed
is how little he can accomplish alone;
the second is that everyone has some
good in him and can do something
well.
I believe in big business: the bigger
the organization the bigger the oppor-
tunity for more men to contribute the
special good in themselves.
Every man can do some one thing
well, but no man can do a lot of
things we'll at the same time.
In business there is no escaping
the law of compensation; if you do a
man a mean trick, you pay; if you do
yourself mean trick, you pay.
If man worries it is because he
has done something that's not on the
square or else because he hasn't
thought deeply enough to clearly I'M
derstand his problem.
Most people eat too much, and in
consequence they sleep too much and
don't think enough.
My advice to every business man
is: Work and read and think, and
then work some more and then some,
but don't ever stop thinking.
Don't ever be afraid of criticism;
criticism is the greatest educator in
the world if we will only let it be.

QUEENLINEss IN EVERY WOMAN.

The plain life-story of bee is one
the world, and those of you who are
not familiar with the habits of bees
should lose no time in reading up on
the subject
Most people know that every hive
consists of the queen bee, the drOnes,
which are the males, and the seXless
workers, the latter forming the great
majority of the hive. In case the
queen bee comes to an untimely end
there is great CONSERVATION in the bee
colony, for probably there is no king
dom on earth where loyalty to a ruler
is carried as far as it is in the bee
hive But if the loss of the queen
comes to be accepted as final, the
worker bees take on the eggs which
would normally develop into a worker
like themselves. They change the
structure of the cell in which the little
egg is confined, building it up into
what is known as royal cell. The
larva is fed different sort of food
from that which is given to the larva
which will become Workers-royal
jelly, it is called-and in larger guam
titles. The larva develops very rap
idly under this care, and instead of
becoming an ordinary worker bee,
turns into a queen, the idol of the
hive.
There is something very suggestive
in this fascinating bit of natural his
tory. 1t forces us to wonder if per-
haps the reason we do not make more
of ourselves is because we expect so
little. The larva in workers cell,
fed with workers food, develops into
a plain, ordinary worker, but it
changes it's nature and becomes royal
if given royal environment and royal
fare. Might not we do as much? Is
there not queenliness in every
woman which only awaits the oppor-
tunity to assert itself?

WHEN OLD WOMEN ABoUNDED.

In the eighteenth century women
soon grew old, says an English writer.
AT the age of twenty-nine Marie An
toinette, the wife of Louis XVI,
gravely discussed the question with
her modiste, Rose Berth. She would
soon be thirty. Her idea was to
change her manner of dress, which
inclined too much to that of extreme
youth. In consequence she would
wear no more flowers or feathers.
The glorious Georgiana, the duchess
of Devonshire, complained to the
French ambassador that she was al
ready seven and twenty years old.
Consider" said the glorious one,
what an age that is" to which the
ungallant ambassador replied that
''in France at seven and twenty a
woman was considered elderly"

KINDNESS.

Don't quarrel. There is no good in
it. 1t is impossible to extract truth
from it. It's philosophy reflects a
hostility to truth, because it is always
one-sided and therefore an effort to
make your side appear the better,
which is itself false attitude 1t
is quite difficult to get at the truth
even in a serene and philosophical dis
cussion simply because the truth is
inaccessible to argument. Where is
the road of truth? 1t is the road
called Kindness. One will never
reach truth by any other route. We
have seen men get very mad at each
other in argument, who finally extri-
Gated themselves from their mad spell.

the truth. Try 1t and see.@

BOYS LOVE.

A boys love of his mother is a
beautiful thing. The other day we
read Of a boy of nineteen who fell i'll
battle in France. The surgeon on
opening the young soldiers jacket
found a scrap of paper. On one side
was the word Mother" on the other
this last message:
This is written in case anything
happens to me, for l should like You
to have just little message from my
own hand. Your love for me and my
love for you have made my whole
life one of the happiest there has
ever been. This is great day for
me. God bless and give you peace!

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
FATlMA'S SPARROW.

Fatima was little Syrian girl who
had crossed the wide Atlantic ocean
with her father and mother and whose
home was now on a narrow street in
the city of Boston, Massachusetts.
When she went out to play on the
street with the other children she
could see, across the Charles River,
tall granite shaft rising toward the
sky Fatima wondered about this tall
shaft, and at last, when she had
learned to speak and understand Eng
lish a little, another child told her it's
name.
1T is Bunker Hill Monument" said
the child.
And Fatima's father knew, for he,
too, had asked and it had been ex-
planned to him that the great shaft
had been erected to remind the
American people of the great battle,
the price of their freedom.
Now Fatima wondered what Gree
dom" meant and why people should
think it worth putting up tall shafts.

her about Bunker Hill that neigh
boris child caught a small sparrow
and gave it to Fatima. The little girl
tied a cord round one of the birds

fly it found itself suddenly pulled
back. The little Syrian girl did not
mean to be cruel, but she knew no
other way of keeping the little bird

BAIT FOR FISHING.

A fish hasn't nose, but it can
smell. Recent experiments have
proved this. Anglers have laid so
much stress on the need of exciting
a fish's interest by the look of food
that the effect of scent has been over
looked. A shark will bite at hook
containing piece of fat pork, al
though the pork does not look like
any kind of fish that swims in the
sea.
1t may be heresy in angling to sug-
gest that a ety. should smell like a
fly. These scientific experiments
show how large a part smell plays
in the food pursuit of fish. Bait, such
as small crabs, was found and eaten
by the fishes two or three times as
rapidly when the shells were broken.
Bait placed inside a gauze bag was
smelled within three minutes of being
lowered in the water, and almost at

DO NOT SHIRK WORK.

In earthly affairs, the Newark Mon
itor observes, time is the purchase
money Of success. The laggard never
arrives. 1t is the boy and the man
who utilize their time, the time,
rather, of their employers, who sue
coed. There is no more fatal defect
in character than that which leads
us to underValue time. The success
full man is the man who is sup and
doing He never comes late, he
never lounges time away during work
hours; he always finds something at
hand to do or he makes it; his eye
is not glued on the clock lest he work
minute over. Prosperity and
wealth only render such man
buster and time more precious to
him.

timber BOXES NOT OBSOLETE.

Brandon, a small town in Suffolk
England, still supplies the world with
flint-and-steel finder boxes, which
even the developed friction matches
of today have not made obsolete,
notes the Popular Science Monthly.
Elderly persons can still tell us about
the time when flint-and-steel were
universally used; when old rags had
to be charred for finder, and when
the sparks had to fly to get these to
catch fire. Brandon flints have al
ways been justly famous. They were
used in the kitchens at home, and on
cannons in the wars. They saw serv-
ice at Waterloo, in the Crimean war,
and even as late as in the South Afri-
can campaign. The first one was
made in 1927.

A FAINT IDEA OF WAR.

War is not two great armies meet
ing in a clash and frenzy of battle.
1t is much more than that. War is
boy carried on stretcher, looking
up at Gods blue sky with bewildered
eyes that are soon to close; war is a
woman carrying a child that has been
wounded by shell; war is spirited
horses tied in burning buildings and
waiting for death; war is the flower
of a race, torn, battered, hungry,
bleeding, up to it's knees in icy water;
war is an old woman burning candle
before the Mater Dolorosa, for the son
she has given for King and Country.
