■ Excellent Maxims for f the Conduct of Life My code of life and conduct Is simply this, George Jean Nathan writes, in the Forum and Century: Work hard; play to the allowable limit, disregard equally the good or bad opinion of others; never do a friend a dirty trick; eat and drinks what you feel like when you feel * like; never grow indignant over anything; trust to tobacco for calm and serenity; bathe Jtwlce a day; modify the esthetic philosophy of Croce but slightly with that of Santayana and achieve for oneself a pragmatic sufficiency in the beauty of the esthetic surface of life. Learn to play at least one musical instruinent and then play it only in private; never allow oneself even a passing thought of death; never contradict anyone or seek td prove anything to anyone unless one gets paid for it in cold, hard coin; live tlje moment to the utmost nf its possibilities; treat one’s enemies with polite inconsideration; a.void persons who Are chronically in need, and be satisfied with life always, but never with oneself, An infinite belief in the possibilities of oneself, with a coincidental critical assessment and derogation of one's achievements; self-respect cjombined with a measure of selfsurgery ; aristocracy of mind combined with democracy of heart; forthrightness with modesty or at feast with good manners; dignity with a quiet laugh; honor and honesty and decency—these are the . greatest qualities that man can hope to attain. And as one man, my hojte is to attain them.

Living Characters Used < on Ancient Chessboard The Mughul emperors of India carried out some strange plans in connection with their domestic life, andr a visitor!, to the famous fort in Agra will be able to see some of the beautiful buildings used as part of the zenana. One of the most interesting features is the open space ip tire center -of the known as the Anjuri Bagh. This space is divided into* many squares, marked off by niarble slabs, and covered with green grass, There are broad marble causeways between the separate blocks. x lt is generally believed that the Mughul emperors used' these as chess-boards, and the “pieces” used in the game were jrbung slaves, who changed their position according to the directions of the players, who would be seated in one of the marble pavilions. The game played in those days did not correspond with the modern chess,- but was known sis pachesi. The size of the Anjuri Bagh is about 286 feet square. Htitnpr in Parliament A bpok of recollections bf Sir James Agg-Gardner, who until his recent death heard all of the annual flood of parliamentary " words for 54 years, relates two of the funniest (he said ‘‘most humorous”) things that were said in all that time; x . “A young member, having completed the peroration of a semi-success-ful maiden speech, concluded, ‘And now I hope I have made it- clear to honorable members opposite that we who sit on this side are not quite -v such fools as we look I” ’ " The. other one is not quite so funny but just as" humorous : “A member hailing from the Emerald isle, criticizing the parsimonious conduct of- the South African war, said, ‘ls it fair, sir, that we should have our Sons slaughtered at the front, and then, expect them to live on six-pence a day when theyget back?”—Detroit News. Quite Simple , “I say, Brown, suppose a man marries bis first wife’s step-sister’s aunt, what relation is he to her?” i . “First wife —step-sister’s —let me see. Oh, I give it up.” “He’s her husband, you chump!”— Boston Transcript. The Newlywed Heir Mother —When the baby starts crying like that it’s a sure sign he is teething. Daughter—Oh, dear, can you recommend a good dentist? All men are born equal, and when they die they reach the same state again.:
