Thus women talked as be was rocked to aluniber in bis cradle; they filled with praise bis infant days poured taffy with a ladle. And ma and dad. with bosoms glad, planned futures for the creature. •‘I’ll hat** my way,” (lie wife would say. "the child must tie a preacner!

THE PROBLEM OF COLLEGE Shall we send our boys and girl* to college^ That is still an open question in the minds of many parent* w-bo are not convinced of what they have seen of graduates and undergraduates that the years spem in separations and supposedly study pay. The answer to this question, says ihe Con gregatlonaJist. may often be found it; the wish and ambition of the boy or girl. To cross the settled desire of a thoughtful boy must always- be a doubtful matter. The real question is whether the unthoughtful and the tin ambitious should be sent. Many ol these may be waked up to ambition in college, but; their chances of suecess in lift, will be much greater it they enter with a strong initial purpose and desire. It might be well it fathers and mothers were to question tbeir sons and daughters who are nean lug the college entrance age to aseer tain whether thty have giten any real thought to what the college opportunity stands for to themselves in par tieuar. If the nebula of childish thinking that goes with so many of the examination could be reduced to definite points of light before entrance tt would greatly simplify the task of the colleges and increase the chance <d success in life for every student. There was a wise father, himself a successful educator of boys, who insisted that his sons should have at least a year's experience in buslnesi before they went to college. TJteit success In various walks of life has simply vindicated this wisdom of hi* plan.
THE HANDICAP OF THE GROUCH The iiian who goes through the world with a grouch, who is olwaya watching for an opportunity to "get square" with somebody whom lie thinks has done him un injury, is at a great disadvantage. The desire foi revenge acts in tho system like a leaven of itoisoD. crippling the brain power aud inducing unhappiness. No one tan do his best when he hat an unkind feeling or resentment in his bearl tow-ard his fellow men. We are always prejudiced against those who have the reputation of being grouchy, or who are of a suspicious disposition. These people make very few friends and are no! good "mixers.” They often live lonely and sometime* totally isolated live* —especially as they advance In years. No employer* wants such people around him. He know* they are not business-getter* or friend makers; on the contrary, they frequently drive away customers and make trouble among the other employees. In business. if people are not treated civilly they do not take into consideration that the clerks and those who wait upon them hiay be ill or tired. They expect courtesy aud obliging, kindly treatment Everybody wants to get away from Ihe cranky, fault-finding, over critical person. We do not like people who are out of tune with the world they
live in.

THE WORLD GROWS SMALLER. The world is a hundredfold smaller than it was a hundred years ago. Is that such u desirable achievement? Would you rather live in a six by four asteroid, or in a great immeasurable planet? Tha larger tho better. I should say, says Ernest Crosby iu the Craftsman. , When wo may see nnd hear the whole world at once and travel round It in two minutes, I shall ho ready to remove to some globe having elbow room to spare. And this shrinking of tho size of the world has brought people so close together that they are growing alike in drcsS, manners and speech, and their towns begin to look one like the other; so that a century rgo you could find more variety tn the next county than you can find to-day across the sea.

THE INDIAN DREAM BOOK. According to Charles Gibson, this la rite interpretation Indians gi.e t > certain dreamt: If you are a young , man or woman and dream of flying low it is a sure sign you are short-
lived, and it is time you were preparing your little business to do your IDpig at some other place. If you dream of flying among tho housetops or just above you. wilt reach the fifty or sixty notch. If you dream that you ar* away above the troetops then you arc good to live up into the nineties; and if you dream that you are humping the stars with your gotinl-lnad thiu you will reach the century notch. To dream that you are solid with a black eyed beauty is a sign that you will kill a fine buck deer before you s' on again. To dream of blood means also meat in tho pot. „To dream of your would-be motherin-iaw breaking a bow over your head is a r tire sign that you will not be her dear beloved son-in-law. If you dream of eating sofky with a deceased friend, make your will before another sun goes down.—Kan-

AMERICAN PIANOS SUPERIOR. American pianos, says Leslie's Weekly, on account of their excellence, have been recognized as standard by all European countries during the past quarter century. The shipping of the American product has steadily increased during that period, no vithstanding the higher price of A rican instruments. The importat i of pianos from Europe to tho od States is now, and has been -onto years, practically a thing of past. These statements apply to ('!asp(?s and kinds of musical tnnents."

The length of a tunnel is no obstacle to the realization of this curious phenomenon, aud compressed air is the medium which produces tho peculiar "underwater sensation." Wthout any warning the drum of tho ear is pneumatically pressed inward the moment the locomotive of the other train enters the tunnel (which tor all practical purposes, is only a large tube), owing to the now limited air space. Many pernons have noticed this peculiar feeling in the earn without giving the matter a second thought.—Exchange.
