It Is observed that Capricornus. the

READING Versus Thinking.

It is good to read, mark, learn
but it is better to inwardly digest. 1t
is good to read, better to think-bet-
ter to think one hour than to read ten
hours without thinking. Thinking is
to reading (if the book read have any
thing in it) what rain and sunshine
are to the seed cast into the ground
the influence which maketh it bear
and bring forth, thirty, forty, an hun
dredfold. To read Is to gather into
the barn or storehouse of the mind;
to think is to cast seed corn into the
ground to make it productive. To
read is to collect information; to
think is to evolve power. To read is
to lay a burden on the back; but to
think is to give to the feet swiftness,
and the hands strength. Yet we have
q thousand or ten thousand readers
for one thinker, as the kind Of books
sought after in circulating libraries
bears witness.

Joy in Human Relationship.

Do we turn for satisfaction to our
human relationships? They are
among our most precious and holy
helps. But our fitness to live with
others, or to get the good Of living
with others, depends chiefly on our fit
ness to live alone. We must be, in
order to do; we must have wisdom
and love, in order to give them; we
must be just before we can put rec
titude into conduct. We cannot even
speak the truth, as it deserves to be
spoken unless we are true. A wise
pagan says, Chow much sincere life
the gods exact before we can speak
a sincere word &c. G. Ames

Color for Health,

CLOTHES make the man" is a say
ing that contains more truth than f1c-
ton. Who has not been conscious of
an uplift in spirits when a new and
well-fitting suit has been donned?
Visualize your friends, and jot down
the three jolliest and-apparently-
healthiest, and then, when next you
see those three, notice their apparel.
For a certainty it won't be sombre or
dark. AS likely as not you might
judge it to- err the other way. What
would regatta be like If oarsmen
and spectators were soberly clad?
Half its joy would depart. Your spir-
its would droOp. So would your
health, for that rises or falls exactly
with your spirits. "Merrie England"
came to an end-this is an historical
fact-when the dull drabness of the
Puritans' clothing came in. So, If
you want to be in good health and
high spirits, go in for colors and
cheerfulness. This advice is neither
fad nor fancy. 1t is based on medical
and scientific and hygienic truth.

GHOSTS IN LONDON SQUARES
Many Sections of the Great British
Metropolis Are Severely Avoided
by the Superstitious.

Old London Is full of ancient old
squares, many of them tucked away
where you least expect them, and not
a few of them containing houses that
in course of time, and by reason of
the many grim and narrowing events
they have witnessed, are regarded as
haunted.
But hauntings are occasionally in
fictitious, and ghosts sometimes wan
der, hence 1t so happens that not in
frequently when one wanders through
one Of these ancient and remote squares
at night-in the dead of night, mind
one encounters something that eau
not altogether be explained by the
physical.
One of the most typical, perhaps.
Of these squares is Red Lion square,
which boasts of two well-known
haunted houses almost next door to
one another, and garden which,
ru1nOrs at one time had it, possessed
a ghost popularity supposed to be that
Of Oliver Cromwell, whose bones, ae-
cording to tradition. found a temporary
resting place there. All this is diff
cult to believe in the daytime, when
the square Is particularly bright and
cheerful, but not so hard to Under
stand at night, when few people are
about and there is an almost UNI
earthly stillness--London Mail. Il!

Most Ancient Weapon.

Back in the dim reaches of prehis-

But soon, primitive man began to
evolve his crude cleavers out Of every
sort of material, from the jawbone

tines to the shining steel with which
the Assyrians cracked down, like a

able slashers were swung by the
Greeks after they had exhausted their
ammunition, which consisted of spears.
One of their favorite modes of combat
was to mount their chariots and dash
by one another, chucking javelins. In
the event no bulls eyes were made,
they would leap to the ground and
draw their swords, the survivor, as
