St(ckliolm's publie library contains a wmiderrul work w-hich is called "The Devil's Code'' and which, in a(dition to its extraonimary name. is said to he the higgest manuscript in the world. Every letter is most beautifully drawn, and the magni tude of the work is so great. that it seems impossible for any single monk to have done it. -The storv of the origin of the man uscript. however, not only gives it as the work of one man, but also states it to be the work of a single night. The story runs as follows: ''A poor monk had been condemn ed to death, but was told mockingly by his judges that if he was able to copy the whole 'Code' between dark ness and dawn he would be saved. Relying upon -the impossibility of the task, those who sentenced him fur nished him with the original copy of the 'Code' with pen, ink and parch ment, and left him. "Death must have been . as little liked in the middle ages as it is now, for the monk, forgetting the hopeless ness of his task, commenced it. Be fore long, however, he saw that he could not save his own life by such weak exertions, and,ifearing a cruel and horribld death, he iivoked the aid of the prince of darkness, promis ing to surrender his soul if he was: assisted in the task. " The devil obliged him by appear ing on the erot, acceptedJ the con tract and sat down to the wrk, and nexi. mor'0; 'The Devil's Code' was iunished, the monk being fon,i dead.

Samuel Armstrong Hamilton in Wo man 's Home Companion for March. For this purpose make out of any ki1d of boxes what the florists call "flats,'' namely, wooden boxes one foot by two, and two and one-half inches deep. In these put a mixture :f half sand and loam, made very fine, and drop on the top the seeds so that the seedlings will come up an inch apart, covering with, fine soil. When the yopng seedlings are just abo-ve the top of the soil, keep them on the dry side, as there is great danger at this time of "damping off,'' a fungous disea.se which affecfs seedlings at 'this stage of their growth. When they are tw o inches high prick them out to two inches apart in other flats and when four inches high pot off into two-and one-half-inch pots. When these are filled w ith roots, shift the plants into four-inch ones, pinching out the tops to make them stocky, which will re sut in more bloom later on when they are set in the beds. In the section of the country in the latitude of New York, -start seeds in the flats in March, and keep in a tem perature of sixty-five degrees. When they get into four-inch pots they will have to be held back a little by being put into a cooler place, about sixty drgees, or they will grow too spindly. Should the season outside be late. and the plants be in bud before the time for planting them out ar: rives, put them in a cool cellar, where you can "hold'' them for two weeks without injury. A general rule to-be remembered by all who grow annuals is that the seed pods should be picked off as soon as formed, or the flowers cut before they die, in order to keep them blooming all the season, as many of the finest ones stop blooming as soon as they ~hae formed perfect seed! A 'RealistictJoke. Sir Henry hying used to tell with glee of a joke that he with Mr'. Toole, the comedian, and a third par ty, played on one occasion at a G4las gow hotel. After their work they were sup-. ping at the hotel, and there was in the room a high screen. The instant the waiter was gone they commenced op erations. They stripped the silver ware, of which there was a tolerable supply, from the table and placed it behind the screen. They then open ed the window and turned out the gas, and finally all got under the table. The jokers had only to remain in their cramped position a few minutes before they heard the unsteady feet of the waiter along the passage. The darkened room amazed him, and the eold air from the window seemed to Istrike him with affright. "Goodness!'' exclaimed he. "It's thieves they are. I thocht as much fra the luiks o' them and frae their gay talk and their lauchin'. Elh, but I'm a ruined man! I wish I hadna taken the hale o' that last bottle! I I Ten Rules for Employes.

You can't eome down a half-hour late every mornning and impress your employer with the idea that you are a wide-awake active man or wonian with an interest in your W()rk. 4. Do your work so well today that yoU won 't have to do any of it over again tomorrow. 5. Be cheerful and willing. A sullen countenance is not pleasent to look upon by either an employer or a cus tomer. Remember your pulling pow er with a customer is one of your assets. The reverse will be your loss. Be courteous. Do not thrust your own troubles and inharmony upon those around you. It is a poor investment. 6. Be conscientious. Don't take too much interest in ball games, theaters, parties, etc., or you may find that you have not much time left to give to your work.Don't have a relative die too often. Funerals sometimes grow monotonous to an employer dur ing the base ball season or on mati nee afternoons. 7. Do not inake the same mistake twi'e. S. Do not let your thoughts be al ways wool-gathering if you expect to earn an increase in salary on pay day. 9. Do not shirk Your work and be always thinking of the money side of the proposition. Give good value for the money you receive and you will be sure to succeed. 10. Put yourself in your employer's place and figure -out what kind of an employer you would hire to get the most out of your business. Then set ouielf to try to be that employer. 11. There is no short, easy road to success, but it is well worth traveling. With The Humorists. Jones-There are sir1ne queer turns n life.
