Counting by Calendars.

Ar~cheolOgists are %quarreling over
the subject Of whether men first lived
125,0W years ago or whether they be-
gan to inhabit the earth as far back
as 0O,00s years. Of course, a matter
Of 175,00O years, more or less, Of hui
man life makes no difference to us
nOw. But whether we are the growth
of 5000 centuries or only 1880, we can
hardly escape the thought, in consid-
ering such figures, that the normal
state of the human being is the pot
ter's clay, of which Omar so fondly
sang. 1t is only a short, wild riot
this life-in the grand swing of eter-
nifty. And in the calendar of the cons
we are contemporaries Of Napoleon
and Caesar-nay, of Moses and of
Aaron.-St. Paul Dispatch.

Anqularity Must Be Rubbed OF.

The pebble in the brook grows round
and smooth because it is constantly
rubbing against the rock and sands
and others of its kind. So it is with
life. Most of us have that which must
be rubbed off. We are angular in
ideas as well as conduct. Taking the
angles off is a %humiliating process, and
most people rebel before it rightly be-
gins. To bring out the buster of the
diamond it has to be cut That, too, is
a tedious process. And SO must it be
with you if you are to be SYM
metrical. The best way is to go right
after it. The sooner the corners are
rubbed off the sooner the polish comes.

A Bit of Forestry.

"Do you know how to tell a hard
wood tree from a sOftwood tree?' said
an old, experienced forester. "Tll tell
you how to do it, and you will find the
rule holds good, not only here among
u familiar pines and walnuts, but
in the antipOdes, among the strangest
banyans, baobabs and what-nots. Soft
wood trees have needle leaves, slim,
narrow-almost uniform in breadth. If
you don't believe me, go out, consult
the pine, the spruce or the fir. Hard
wood trees have broad leaves of .vari-
Gus shapes-witness the oak, the
ebony, the walnut, the mahogany, and
so on.'-Msil.
