Now. my brother. What are you going to do with the intelligence? Do you suppose God put you in this school of information merely that you might be sharper in a trade. that you might be more successful as a worldling? 1 Oh, no.

They do not dive into profound: of learning, and yet nearly all through their occupations come to understand questions of finance. and politics. and geography, and jurisprudence. and ethics. Business is a severe schoolmistreu. If pupils will not learn, she strikes them over the head and the heart with severe losses. You put $5.000 into an enterprise. It is all gone. You say. “That is a dead loss. ” Cu. no. You are paying the school- ing. That was only tuition, very large tuitionâ€"I told you it wasa severe school- mistressâ€"but it was worth it. You learn ed things under that process you would not have learned in any other way. m_-3n_ 1,, .V __..- -.~v. nuan- All that process will either break you , down or brighten you up. It is a school i of patience. You have known men under the process to become petulant, and chol- ‘ eric, and angry. and pugnucious, and . cross. and sour, and queer. and they lost their customers, and thuix name became: detestation. Other mm have been bright- ened up under the process. They were toughened by the exposure. They were like rocks. all the more valuable for be- ing blasted. At first they had to choke down their wrath, at first they had to ' bite their lip. at first they thought of some stinging retort they would like to make. but they conquered their impa- tience. They have kind words now for sarcastic filings. They have gentle behav- ior now for unmanneriy customers. They are patient now with unfortunate debt- ore. They have Christian reflections now for sudden reverses. Where did they get that patience? By hearing a minister preach concerning it on Sabbath? Oh. no. They got it just where you will get itâ€"if you ever get it at allâ€"selling hats. discounting notes. turning banisters, plowing corn, tinning roofs. pleading causes. Again. I remark that businesl life is a Ichool of patience. In your everyday life how many things to annoy and to dis- quietl Bargains will rub. Commerclel men will sometimes fail to meet their engagements. Cashbooks and money drawer will sometimes quarrel. Goods ordered for a special emergency will come ' too late or be damaged in the transporte- : tion.

He finally deciphered the letters and found out that the writing had been made by a slave in Algiers, saying in substance, “Whoever gets this bank note Will please inform my brether.

Oh, if some of the bank bills that come through your hands could tell all the scenes through which they l have passed, it would be a tragedy eclipeing any drama of Shakespeare, mightier than King Lear or Macbeth!

She asked two spineters to tea on a certain evening and invited M. Auguste to meet them. The seventh and last candidate she would ask to ride out with her and include the or- ganist in a drive to a distant park. Then monsieur would confide in her his choice. his emotions. The rest could take care of itself. Mrs. Dahl was a sympathetic wom- an. She entered the interview in her diary and memorandum book. On Mon- day she discussed the matter for a half hour with her husband, then prepared A "‘4. 3-7.77 A Mrs. Dahl watched him away in the direction of the park with misgivings.

She had merely a speaking acquaintance with the spruce little organist, but she came to him at once and expected to hear a tale of woe or distress. Her surprise may be imagined when the excited ‘ Alsatian, in a compound of bad Eng~ lish, German and French, poured forth his heart‘s desires. his thoughts. his hopes and besought her assistance in finding him a proper life companion. The hopelessness of the task struck her at once, but the earnestness of the or- ganist gained her sympathies. She questioned, she deliberated, hesitated and was lost.

It is said that Samuel Richardson on his deathbed told his wife that she would find among his eflects some ex- cellent titles which only needed to have books written for them to give her an income. There is no question of the great importance of a well selected name for a book as for a person. Some very wretched books have achieved at least a profitable sale by means of a taking title, and. on the other hand, many a good book has been handicm ;-ed by an awkward or an insignificant mla Yet it Would be unfortunate if autnors should come to regard the title as hav- ing any considerable weight besides the contents of the book.

The Lemon Hoodoo. “Housekccpcrs in the southern part of the city.” says the Philadelphia Record. “have been surprised of late years at the number of lemons thrown over the fences into backyards. These were usu- ally attributed to mischievous boys. \Vhere they got so many lemons was al- ways a mystery. The other morning a colored cook caught a young Italian in the lemon pitching act and held on to him until his shrieks of terror brought her employer to the scene. Then it leaked out that lemon pitching is a su- perstitious rite, designed to bewitch the party against whom it is directed. The lemon is stuck full of pins. at the inser- tion of each of which the worker of the spell says, ‘Malo Saluta.’ believing that each pin will cause a violent and fatal pain in the head of him against whom it is directed."

He saw service in minor Indian distuzab- ances and was several times wounded. was oreveuod major of volunteers in 1865 for gallant and meritorious services during the campaigns in Georgia and the Carolinas.

Colonel Hayes was how in 1842 and became a when only 13 years old. lieutenant of Ohio cavalr was brevettod major of 1865 for gallant and merit .~-uvu. At any rate, it would be well for Mr. Aguinaldo to be exceedingly careful how he strolls about Luzon after Colonel Hayes reaches there, for the colonel is an old Indian fighter and has long been looking for a chance to put his half for- zotten tactics into practice. _ Whee‘yuyu But this does not discourage Colonel Hayes. He goes to the Philippines in command of the Fourth United States cavalry, and, while he will not have the authority to make an independent cam- paign, he will keep his eyes open for a chance to realize his ambition.
