Handicap.

These are the days when the eff
cheney expert is inviting us to prove
that we measure up to the average in
human intelligence by answering GER
tain complicated questions in given
number of seconds. Here is one you
can try on yourself when nobody is
around. Time yourself, and when you
have solved it go and try it on some
body else, not forgetting to remind
him that you did it in three seconds
and that three seconds is the time
limit.
Outline square on paper and then
divide it into ten triangles each of
which is equal to one ninth of the
total sum or area represented by the
other nine triangles.
Three seconds is the limit, so go to
it. OF course, if you are timing your
self, you need not be too particular.
A few seconds or minutes over will
not make much difference beyond, in O
few isolated cases, confirming or shat.

Endurance.

Though nation may be bought and
sold, deceived or.betrayed, oppressed
or beggared, and in every other sense
undone, all is not lost if a sense of
national honor survives the general
ruin. Even an individual cannot be
crushed by events or overwhelmed by
adversely if, in the wreck aud ruin Of
his fortune, the character Of the man
remains unbemished. That force Is
elastic, and, with the help of resolu-
ton, will raise him again out of any
depth of calamity. But If the injured
sufferer, whether it be great or a
little community, number of individ-
uals or Single person, be content to
submit in silence, and to endure with
out resentment-f no complaints shall
be uttered, no murmur shall be heard,
deploratum cst-there must be some
thing celestial in the spirit that rises
from that descent.-Junius.

One mother blamed 1t on the en-

from Brest, France. The Montoso
was more than month at sea, being
blown hundreds of miles out of her

in distress and rapidly approaching
destruction.
The Montoso, ship of only few
thousand tons, was knocked about by
waves and wind, but was able to tow

necessary in which to reach port,
hardly an hour of which was storm
less. The Westhaven was picked up

she had run out of fuel, during a
storm 500 miles southwest of Bermu-

behind the Westhaven.
