If you can't laugh Just now, smile until you can. Bad luck is often merely a i>oUte name for bad Judgment. Grumbling at your lot only helps to make it a lot worse. The best way to acquire a host of friends is to be a host yourself. Some people are so mean that the only thing they ever give ts offence. The greatest secret of popularity is to keep youT troub4ea to yours«lf. If we saw ourselves as others see us we might refuse to believe our eyes. The eyes may be the windows ot the soul, but the mouth reveals the comr pany U keeps. the sprays are alternate .ch things as the sprays, and the alternate occurrence Winter Reveals Beauty.

Not everybody has seen this beauty of the leafless tree. Sometimes, ua- leas attention has been diawn to it. It te missed. It dawned upon me quite unexpectedly in the New P\)rest. Ihe city In which I had lived for twenty years was virtually treeless. But hav- ing gone to live in the Forest, the re- velation came. That is one of the attractive things, about nature. There Is ever some new revelation la store. Nor does one ever know hi what place or at what hour the new vision may come. That winter's moonlight ulght, out alone in the Forest, there dawned strees, that makes them so I doubt If trees mre ever more beantlfol, even in aipring or suny m«r, than they are in winter tnuur- figured by sunrise or suaiset behind th^n.

Then trees In winter, In the country, as Dixon Scott points oat, seem a peu-t of the fundamental framework of the earth. In towns', he says, trees of- ten resemble surface decorations. They took deta<diable as flowers worn for omoiment. But In the country in wtoter, reduced to their elemenits of bole and branch, they "are seen tn sustain and complete the long IIH. of the land." Winter brings out their fuodameotal strength no lefis than the beauty ot their forms. The leafless tree la not the least of winter's gifts. Can Be Quickly Banished With Baby's Own Tablets. The ailments of childhood are many ! but nine-tenths of them are due to I one cause and one cause only â€" a dls- : ordei'ed condition of the stomach and bowels. To quickly banish any of the minor ailments ot babyhood and child- hood the bowels must be made to work regttlar and the stomach must be sweetened. No other medicine for little ones has had such success as has Baby's Own TableU. They banish constipation and Indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers; correct diarrhoea and colic and promote healthful sleep by regulating the functions of the stom- ach and bowels. Conoemlng them Mrs. L. M. Brown, Walton, N.S., writes: â€" "I cannot speak too highly of Baby's Own Tablets as I have found them excellent for childhood ail- ments." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medicine dealers, or by mall at 25 cts. a box from The Dr..

There ! â-  a story of two old ladies at a Scottish church service, .\tter, the minister had discussed all the pdAits of his S'erni-on from "firstly" to "seventhly," and just before the peroration began, one of the ladies said to the other: "Has he no din yet?" "He has finished," replied her com- panion, "but he won't stop." One further church tale. A rector and a long-winded curate were called upon to speak iu t-onnection with a cer- tain religious function. The curate spoke for aliout half an hour, ami be- -fore sitting down turned to the rector, saying: "I hope I have not encroached upon your time." "Time?" growled out the impatient rector, "you have encroached upon eternity."

Who Invented Cards? The playing cards we now use were Invented in the fourteenth cenfury by a French painter named Jaquee Grlngonmeur. It is said that he in- veaited them to amufie the mad King Charles VI. of France. The kings were David, Alexander, Caesar, and Charles ; the queens were Argine, Esther, Judith, and Pallas; the four knights, now called knaves, and vulgarly "Jacks," were Ogier the Dane, Lancelot, La Hire, and Hector de Garland, knigibts of old romance. The Cardmakers' Company was in- corporated In 1629, and as early ; z the reign of James I. cards were taxed. Probably the first game played In England was called "Trump." AH the most important historical events have been at one time or another depicted on playing cards, and some of the packs are very rare and valuable. Everything depends on the point of view.
