CULTIVATE GRACIoUsNEss.

Not long ago a man, who was the
father of FIVE sons. died and In his
will he gave many instructions as
to how his boys should be brought
up. Among other things he said:
Il wish to lay particular stress
upon my sons being taught gra-
cious manners. Boys are not liable
to realize how far social qualities
count in life. No man is likely to go
far in the world unless he is popu-
lar with his fellow men and women
and knows how to get on with
them. Tactful coaching in youth
makes all the difference in this re-
spect, and although l do not want
the boys to make a too conscious
effort to be popular, 1 do want
those concerned with their training
to keep an eye on this part of their
education, and to see to ii that they
acquire that suavity of demeanor
ttst will make them pleasing to
those with whom they come in con-
tact"
1 do not know how much money
this father left his boys, but / am
sure that the most valuable bequest
he made them was this advice about
acquiring the fine art of gracious
ness.
For graciousness is letter Of
credit that the whole world honors
at sight; it is the magic that opens
every door; IT Is the charm that
makes friends and disarms enc
mics, and that causes every one to
lend a helping hand up the ladder
to It's fortunate possessor.
What we vaguely describe as
personal magnetism. or a winning
personality Is nothing more, nor
less. than grsciousness, the ability
to do the nice thing in the nice
way. and to say the pleasing thing
in the pleasing way.
without graciousness even the
virtues become as dust and ashes
In our teeth. and kindnesses to us
are an offense against US.
Haven't you had people do you
good turn in such an insulting
way that you hated them for 1t?
Haven't you had people give you
things with such an ungracious

Have you a 10000 pound baby in

physicians guarantee that he will

grown?
You hope you haven't, anyway.
But you can see just such a baby
within a few weeks at the Smith
sonian Institute here. He is a des-
cendant of Jonah's whale and was
recently captured off Miami, Fla,
after a two day and night battle.
Scientists declare the shark whale
to be one of the very few to be
found in these times. as they usu-
ally dwell fathoms deep and only
come to the surface at intervals of
months. This baby's eyes were
never closed, having no lids to cover
them. The scientists say this is due
to the fact that he dwelt at such
a depth.
The baby's hide is so thick that
