The best preparation we can make for the next world is to do our best in this. Those to whom labor is un known cannot enjoy the equisite delight of a well-earned rest. The greatest happiness that this world can give is obtained by making others happy. There is no surer guide to the general trend of a man's charac ter than his favorite books. The more tempestuous the voyage, the greater the feeling of joy when the harbor is reach ed. First make up your mind as to the validity of doing an action, then do it as soon as possible. Bear in mind that the result of an action is far reaching. Therefore. before acting, pause to think. The .more a person really knows about a subject, the less likely is he to indiscriminately talk about it. If vou would look back with pleasure on the past, let it be your endeavor to make good use of the present. What we regard at the tiine as a great catastrophe, may, viewed through the light of subsequent, events, turn out to be a blessing in disguise. To be able to use the tongue fluently is undoubtedly a great advantage in many cases; but the power to keep silent is equally advantageous. Do not read great authors solely with a view to inoculating yourself with their idea on a certain subject, but reason the matter out and form your own opinion. Even as a tree is pruned to cause it to bear better fruit, so should we eliminate all superfluities from our minds, and give the good and true more room to flourish. 'czema, Itching Humors, Pimples.

Wise is the man who knows what not to say to a woman. The part of wisdom is often enacted in the divorce court. You can't be happy unless you try to make others happy. Love and a good- dinner -are great .workers in the field of charity. Good resolutions don't cost anything. but they are hard .to keep. Eve invented temptation., but men have monopolized it ever snce. Life's pleasures are not so numerous that you can afford to snub one. Knife wounds heal quicker than those caused by a caustic tongue. A woman never tries to flirt with a married man who loves his wife. A man . seldom gets so full of enthusiasm that he has no room for his dinner. With the exceltion of the rea son itself a womani-has a reason for everything. As soon as a girl gets married she begins to acquire a supple mentray education. CASTOR IA IFor Infants and Children.

The first thing that strikes a lands man on a man-of-war is the rigid discipline observed everywhere. On some oIf the ships belonging to the tropical countries, however, discipline is very lax. The 'Defense, a Haitian man-of-war, was lying in the harbor of Port au Prince. 'One day a mess cook for some reason cleaned about a peck of knives and forks on the gun deck, and, being suddlenly called s.wa~y and not wishing to spend time to go to the galley. ie seized the met'ss pot full of knives ,.id forks and stuck it in the muzzle of thtw ten inch gun. putting the tamp~lionl in after it. About anz hour afterward the admiral caime aboard. and as the gun was loaded with blank c'attridge they used it to tire a salute. It happened that the gun was aimed toward the town. and almost point blank at the Gr-and iotel. The guests assembled on the po;:ch to witness the ceremonies. wyhen they were saluted with a rain of knives and forks, which stuck against tL'e wooden walls like quills on a porcupine. Fortunately no ooe was hurt, al-. though there were many narrow es capes. Bow the Mistletoe Comes to De. The story of how the mistletoe gets on the trees is a most interesting one. Covering the mistletoe twigs are pearly white berries. These come itn the win ter season, when food is comparatively scarce, and hence some of our birds eat them freely. Now. when a robin eats a cherry he swallows simply the meat anid flips the stone away. The seed of the mistletoe the bird cannot lip. It is sticky and holds to his bill. His only resource is to wipe it off', and he does so. leaving it sticking to the branches of the tree on which be is sitting at the time. This seed sprouts after a time, and. not finding earth-which. indeed, Its ancestral habit has made It (cease want ing-it sinks its roots into the bark of the tree and hunts there for the pipes that carry~the sap. Now, the sap in the bark is the very richest in the tree, far richer thant that in the wood, and the mtstletoe gets from its host the choicest of food. With a strange fore sight it does not throw its leaves away, as do most parasites, but fkeeps them to use In winter, when the tree is leaf less. - Professor S. C. Schmucker in Ladies' Home Journal. Value of Education. Once upon a time a crow sat on a high branch of a tree with a large bit of cheese in his mouth when an. envi ous and hungry fox came prowling along aind spied the choice morsel. "You are a beautiful bird." said the cunning fox, "and yet your great beau ty is not equal to your marvelous voice, which charms all of the beasts of the forest Pray, Mrs. Crow, do let me hear you sing." The crow turned her head to one side, as is the habit with such birds, and looked at Mr. Prox. Then she de liberately ate the cheese and after clearing her voice spoke. "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Fox," she said. "If you will wait a minute, I wIll sing for you. I never speak or sing until after dinner since I have been reading ancient fables." The fox did not wait, but trotted on his way. Moral.-A literary education is not without value.-New York Herald. An Unexpected Answer.
