Langiml has a race apart from the world in its laws in its exclusion of the stranger andi in its utter disregani of vnst area of world and things lying beyond its borders. Its quiet life is detuiinated by two all powerful factors -womankind and oysters. There are men in Lan ium. but they exert little (r no infliuCit c)Oi the affairs of the quiet little Welsh village. The Langumli man neither is nor pre tenuds to be. Ie recognizes the right of wvomankind to own and rule and is per fectly satislicJ to be described as An nie Jones' man or Mary Williams' man. iHe neither requires nor appreciates compassion. Sitting of an evening at his cottage doer. with his faithful brood playing around him, his wife and daughter busy within reckoning the gains of the day's work, he is vexed by no mental anxieties or perplexities. Divested of all responsibilities of life, he is as pleased as the oyster forrwhich his native place is famed.-London An swers. The Short etep Between. "I was on an ocean liner when she ran on the rocks off the English coast some years a.o," said a i'hiiladelphia traveling .::::. "ad 21 the panie that ensued there is one incident that stands out in uy mcimory. illustrating the slender thread between the tragic and the ridiculous. We had a fellow on beard who had managed to keep pretty well leaded all the way across, and 1when we struck the rocks he was in his usual condition. When everybody thou-ht for sure we were going to the bottom, he sat down at the piano in the saloon, and what do you suppose he began playing? 'IIome, Sweet Home.' Somebody went to him and begged him to stop. Inunediately he switched off from the doleful strains of the old -ong to the rollicking melody of 'Down Went McGinty. The absurdity of the thing seemed to strike everybdy at once, and a general laugh followed. The tension was. relieved, and there was good order after that."-Philadel phia Record. An:idyspepsta Diet. "Dyspepsia would no longer be the national disease in America if the peo ple of this country would adopt a plain diet similai to that of Norway and Sweden. Gout is unknown among Swedes and Norwegians, and the rosy cheeks and clear complexions of the young people of those countries are the result of the simple food the chil dren eat." the United States consul at Bergen, Norway. says. "Hot rolls and white bread are rairely seen in Sweden. Knackbrode or hard bread is the stand ard -article of food. It is made of ground oats and rye. There is no yeast in the bread. and it is rolled into thin wafers, which are baked and hung up whiere they will keep perfectly dry. Swedes eat this bread and drink milk for two meals a day and have one meal at which they eat meat and potatoes. Sweets are almost unknown. Children are allowed to eat candy only on state occasions." The Bluneiay. One may pet or patronize, according to one's nature, a chipping sparrow, bluebird or p)hobe, but he is indeed well coated with self esteem who does not feel a sense of inferiority in th-e presence of a jay. IIe is such a shrewd, independent and aggressive creature that one is inevitably led to the belief that he is more of a success as a bird than most men are as men. Conspicuous by voice and- action dur ing the fail and winter, when other birds are quietest, he becomes silent when other birds are most vocal. If he has a love song, it is reserved for the ear of his mate. At this season he even controls his fondness for owl baiting and with it his vituperative gifts. The robin, the catbird and the thrasher seem cager to betray the loca tion of their nests to every passerby, but the bluejay gives no evidence of the site of his habitation by being seen In its vicinity.-Frank 31. Chapman in Century. I A P'recelous Diplomatist. Boy-Oh. rnamma, I upset the salt e ellar over may clean clothes. 3 Mamma-That was careless. Go and brush the salt off, and see you don't soil the clothes.. "But, mamma, when any one spills salt they have a quarrel, don't they?" "So they say." "Well, then, if they don't spill the salt they don'.t have a quarrel. Isn't that so?' "Yes, that is so. But why do you ask?" p"Well, because, mamma, it wasn't the salt I spilt; it was the ink." Zeal and Knowledge. The Outlook crowds an unusual amount of practical wisdom and good sense into the following paragraph: "7.eal without knowledge, often con demned, is more valuable than knowl edge without zeal, often commended, for zeal without knowledge inspires -life, and life acquires knowledge; but knowled;ge without zeal sits in its study, plays with its books and does nothing. All the greatest things in life have been accomplished by enthusi asts whose :zeal was greater than their knowledge." A Buxiness Head. "You lent him the money to buy that mule from you?" "Yassir," answered MIr. Erastus Pink Iy. "It doesn't look like business, but It were seeh a good chance to get de bes' of de trade dat I couldn' he'p ad vancin' de cash."-Washington Star.
