We all hate to have anybody suffer on our .account— especially ourselves. The gladness of yesterday sometimes turns out to be the nightmare of tomorrow. We like some persons better the oftener they don’t come to see i/s. We always feel like praising the man who pays his debts .if be happens to owe Us. A rolling stone gets in many a mixup. A good opportunity doesn’t always wear a label. and there is where it acts like other mean things.

Promptness. If you have a task to do— | This advice you’ve heard before. But it will not hurt you to Hear it one or two times more— Up and at it right away! Jump at once into the grind. Though you much prefer to play, Do it; get it off your mind. There is nothing that will rob You of comfort and of rest Like a small unfinished job That would take an hour at best. If escape you try to seek. If from it you rise to flee. Then it haunts you for a week. When an hour would set you free. When the little job is done And you pause to take a rest In the frolic and the fun Is no ghost along as guest. But if It is put aside Till a more convenient time. Though you walk or though you ride, Still it daunts you as a crime. For to make your life a song Or as music by the band There is nothing quite so strong As to have your work in band. So when there is work to do And to rest you are inclined Chase yourself until it’s through. Do it; get it off your mind.

His Troubles. “Every man has his share of trouble.” “If that is all 1 had to worry about I’d be happy.” “Wbat d’you mean?” “I not only have my troubles, but the troubles of everybody I know.”

For the Children

A Gravestone and Sundial Combined.

In an old graveyard near Barmouth, Wales. Is a stone cross which is both a gravestone and a sundial. The shadow is cast by the arms and sides of the inclined cross in a very ingenious way, the hours being cut in the sides of the cross shaft. The time indicated by the shadow at the moment the gravestone was photographed is about 10:30.

Origin of Candy.

Few children or grownups either, for that matter, think of the origin of candy when they are eating the kind that most appeals to their taste. We read that Dragatus. a noted Roman baker and confectioner, who was of the well knpwn family of Fabius, was the man who invented candy and that its first form was the sugar plums. These delicious sweets were called “dragati.” after their inventor. The secret of their manufacture was kept in the family, and the making and selling of them were the exclusive privilege of the Fabius family for many generations. It almost takes one’s breath away to read that 177 years before the’ Christian era the Romans were indulging their taste for sweets as we do, though not to the same extent. for at first it was only at the birth or marriage of one of the Fabius family that a great distribution of dragati took place as a sign of rejoicing. At present the custom is still in vogue, but has extended to the nobility of Europe.

Game of Neighbors.

Neighbors is . a game where chairs are used in forming a circle. There should be as many chairs as there are players. The children should be divided into two sides of equal number, all the players of one side being blindfolded and' taking possession of the chairs in such a way that each player has an empty chair at his right hand. The other side must then move silently into the middle of the circle, and at a given signal they must all mysteriously and noislessly seat themselves in the vacant chairs. At the word “sing” the players who are not blindfolded should start to sing either a prearranged tune or anything that happens to occur to them, but they should all endeavor to disguise their voices as much as possible. The blindfolded players are expected to guess from the voice who is singing at his right hand. Each may have one guess. Those whose guesses are correct take their bandages off and blindfold the eyes of the singing neigh; bor. The unsuccessful guessers must try again.

The Umbrella.

Baltimore was first in introducing several things, among them the umbrella. It started the first steam passenger railway in the United States; it was the first to show, in connection with Washington, the practicability of the Morse telegraph system; it was the first city to use carbureted hydrogen gas as light; it built the pioneer merchants’ exchange. All this is generally known, but not so generally known is the fact that it displayed the first umbrella in the United States. In 1772. when a Baltimorean appeared on the streets under an umbrella purchased from an Indian ship, horses were frightened, children stoned him, and the police force (consisting of a single watchman) was called out. In spite of this reception an account of the episode had the effect of making other cities give the umbrella an enthusiastic welcome. Now the Baltimorean’s innovation is a necessity of daily life, or at least of rainy daily life, both here and abroad.

The Spider Monkey.

The spider monkey is sometimes called the “daddy longlegs” of the too? Its tail is remarkably limber and practically serves as a fifth limb and hand. With such a delicate sense of touch is it furnished that it almost seems to be possessed of the power of sight and moves about among the branches with as much decision as if there were an eye tn its tip. Should the . monkey discover some prize, such as a nest of eggs or any little dainty which lies in a crevice too small for the hand to enter, it inserts the end of its tail into the cranny and hooks out the desired object.

The Rain. "It’s raining! It’s raining!" The happy hilltops cry. “Oh, welcome! Oh, welcome!" The tall green trees reply. And all the valley sings aloud' Its praises to the cool gray cloud., "We’re waiting! We’re waiting!” Say all the little flowers. They hold their heads up lovingly To kiss the gentle showers. Oh, all the thirsty land again Give* greeting to the silver rain! —Youth’s Companion.

Good form

When Men Are Rude. “My dear, isn't he the rudest thing you ever saw?’' This is shrilled in an indignant nasal twang as a man walks rapidly by two giggling girls and does not hold the door back for them to pass. It does look rude, but they forget that that same man just held back the other door and that they teetered through it without a smile of acknowledgment or the faintest “Thank you.” The girl who continually complains that men are growing rude is very frequently rude herself. The girl who is gentle and appreciative generally has no grievance along this line. She has learned that the average man likes to be courteous as much as the average woman wants him to be. Watch a girl who is modestly gracious. Doors are held open, window shades are adjusted, seats are given up —yes. even this last sacrifice is made—and precedence is yielded her at every step. She does not demand attention, but by her very presence she inspires it. It is not only the obviously cheap girl who is rude. The woman who bears every mark of refinement and wealth will ignore the commonest civilities in a manner that leaves the observer gasping. Look around you and see the women who are left to struggle with heavy doors and to pull themselves up the high steps of the trolleys and then look at the women who are always helped, always considered, even by the most negligent member of the male sex.

First Calls.

A first call should be returned within a week. The correct hours for calling are between 3 and 6 in the afternoon. If your hostess is out. you leave one of your own cards for her and two of your husband’s —one for her and one for her husband. If she is unmarried, you leave only one of your husband's cards with the one of your own. If you are unmarried you leave one card of your own. If she is at home you leave no card of your own, but one of your husband’s for an unmarried and two for a married woman. The general length of time for a call is about twenty minutes. Anything in the way of an umbrella or parcel that you happen to be carrying should be left in the halt

About Inquiries.

If you hear that one of acquaintance? is ill or in trouble it is usual to call at the house to ask how she is and leave a card having “With kind inquiries” or “With sincere sympathy” written on it You should not go in unless you are specially pressed to do so. When your friend is better she will probably send out postcards having “With thanks for kind inquiries” written on them. These cards count as a call, and it is then your turn to call again.

Card Invitations.

In a general way there is no very marked change in the correct forms of curd invitations, letters of introduction or in the convention of visiting cards. The preference for the old English and colonial text and also for the English script continues, although the Roman text may still be preferred -by those who are accustomed to its use, but it is not nearly as much in vogue as in former seasons.

Wedding Gifts.

The necessary silver for a, bride is four sets of spoons, which include tablespoons, dessertspoons, teaspoons and after dinner coffeespoons; four sets of forks, including oyster forks, and two sizes of steel knives with silver handles and also silver butter knives. If the carving is to be done on the table two sets of carvers will be needed. Any of these will make acceptable wedding gifts.

Cards.

When the maid brings a visitor’s card to a mistress, saying that there is a caller in the drawing room, it would be best for her to bring the card down afterward and leave it in the card receiver on the hall table; otherwise it might be mislaid. It is usually best to have some special place for the cards of the day in order that they may not be confusetT with those of callers on previous days.

Shun Slang.

Slang is a thing which can be indulged in only by those who are per fectly secure of their social status, though, on the other hand, an overfastidious pronunciation of words and a studious correctness of articulation are apt to suggest the idea that we have only lately come into possession of our h’s and our grammar and have in consequence to be guarded in our conversation.

A Well Bred Air.

It is not merely the etiquette but the tone of good society which should be cultivated by those who are making their way in the world. 11l bred habits of speedh, attitudes and tricks of expression will stamp a person, no matter how ceremoniously correct his or her entertainment, how excellent his wine or how Irreproachable her costume.
