No mun ever feels the need of educa- tion so much as the man who sees opportunity for advancement open be- fore him. but who does not dare to take it for fear that he can not rise to it, it is useless to say anything to such a man about neglected op- portunities. and it is equally futile to say the same thing,r to the youth who is neglecting his studies. The first cannot go back and live his boyhood over; the latter cannot comprehend his danger. nor will he believe in his own possibilities. nor can he really study intelligently things for which he is not sufficiently mature. The few who mature early enough in life to go through technical schools or col- leges'are provided for. Can we not provide men’s schools for those who mature normallyZâ€"American Maga- zme. A City That Was 3 Failure. Of all the seven cities of Asia per- haps Sardi has the most interesting and romantic history. and yet. with all its natural advantages. its wealth. its famous rulers. its wise counselors. its victorious armies. it was the greatest failure of them all. says the Christian Herald. The richest man in the World. Croesus. was king of Sardis; the wisest man. Solon. was her guest. and yet. through overcoufidence and lack of watchfulness. time and again it was surprised. conquered and all but destroyed. until at last the disintegrat- ing rock and soil from its own citadel. loosened by the winter rains and hurl- ed down by destructive earthquakes. buried the city thirty feet deep from the'sight of man. It became a dead city. and it was buried by the forces of nature. Regulating His Sleep. John Wesley recognized the evils of oversleeping and gave a recipe where by one may find out how much sleep he really wants. It was derived from experience. “1 waked every night about 12 and lay awake for some time. and l readily concluded that this arose from my being longer in bed than na- ture required. l procured an alarm. which waked me next morning at 7 (an hour earlier than I rose the day beforei. yet I lay awake at night. The next morning I rose at 6; notwith- standing. I lay awake the second night. The third morning i rose at 5. never- theless lay awake. The fourth morn lug l rose at 4. as l have done ever since. and I lay awake no more."-;Lon~ don Chronicle. No Matter Who.

Batthyany's Black Pearl. There is a curious story of the pre- cious black pearl which Count Louis Batthyany, the Hungarian revolution- ist, wore in his scarfpin. Sentenced to death for his part in the rising of 1849, he gave the scarfpin to the valet who attended him in prison; The valet be- queathed it to his son. and the son de- cided to sell it. It was taken to Buda- pest to be valued. and there exhibited in a jeweler’s shop window. Crowds assembled to stare at it. and the sus- picions of the Austrian police were aroused. They instituted a rigorous inquiry and discovered. to their amaze- ment. that the pearl had been stolen from the crown of England 150 years before. The British government bought it back. but no one has been able to discover by what means it had passed into the possession of the Bat- thyany family. +9~§~++¢+°§WWW 'E‘MMW §. .
