When a fellow makes a hit. let him know it in a good, round, royal way. If he has sense, it won't turn his head, and if he does get dizzy for a minute what matters it? Let him enjoy the intoxication while it lasts, for the seri­ ous business of life will soon drive him back to work again.--Schoolmaster. To Mak^ an Impreaalon. Mr. Fargone--My dear friend.

When strength is full and spirits high, we are being re freshed, bone muscle and brain, in body and mind, with con­ tinual flow of rich blood. This is health. When weak, in low spirits, no cheer, no spring, when rest is not rest and sleep is not sleep, we are starved; our blood is poor; there is little nutri­ ment in it. Back of the blood, is food, to keep the blood rich. When it fails, take Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. It sets the whole body going again--man woman and child. If you have not tried it, send for- free sample its agreeable ta^e will surprise you. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists 40N4 Pearl Street, New York. gpc. sad fi.oo; all druggists. H«w Balsao Wrote. Of all literary toilers Balzac was cer­ tainly the most eccentric in his meth­ ods. At first he would write his novel In a few pages, hardly more than the plot. These would be sent to the print­ er, who would return the few printed columns of matter pasted into the cen­ ter of several large sheets. On this mar­ gin Balzac would work, sketching his characters, composing the dialogue and perhaps altering entirely the original plot of the book. For four or five times this process was repeated until at last the few columns had assumed the pro­ portions of a volume. This extraordi­ nary way of building a book naturally ran away with a considerable share of tho on the work.--Goiden reuuv. CHURCHES. UNIVER8ALI8T. F. W. MILLER I'ASTOB T.J. Walsh i President H. O.
