Th ink of the eyes that are watch* tog you, the loved ones who are deijfendent on you, trusting and believing in the nobility of your soul. Do nothing, think nothing and sar nothing that Will shake their faith in you, or cause you to lose faith in yourself. By keeping still in great stra es + * of emotion the atmosphere around you becomes cooler, and your enemies or accusers gradually lose their heat and become more easily susceptible to reason. Silence is the most magnificent and Impressive thing in the universe. what more sublime than the hush of a starry night In the solitude of vast hills or endless plains? What more than silence impresses ao deeply, so profoundly, the thoughtful man woman of his or her insignificance? These close intimacies with Nature, beyond ali others, bring home to us long forgotten promises, old faces and . friendships lost in the mist of years, with startling clearness. But the best thing about silence, whether we be with it In the verdured . fields or forest, or in our owd rooms, .is that we get a closer view of our ffcult* and frailties in quite a new and surprising light, frequently dazsling >ur wondering eyes h.nd changing 1 / as for the better, la" (Copyright.)

Never before have girls done such marrying in France?with available bridegrooms so reduced in number What is more, this organized promt tion of marriage gives every girl a chance?despite handicaps of unacquaintance, social disadvantage, plain looks, lick of money, lack of family, lack of pushing friend* to aid the matA. , Tour business manager's your push Ing friend!

PARROT FISH ODD CREATURE Must Have Seen Devised When Moth.-' er Mature Was in Unusuaflv Freakish Mood. ?If some one asked you, "What Is that which has a beak' like that of a parrot and cheek pouches like those j of a monkey, lives in the sea and chews the cud like a cow?" you might ^ imagine it was some kind of catch rid- j ~ -' die. Yet there is a creature which answers this description perfectly. It is , called the parrot fish. The upper and lower jaws have be come hardened into a sBrarp, curved 1 beak, which is just the tool required | for lopping off lumps of tough weed, j Each piece snipped off by the beak is j passed into one of the two curious j pouches which adorn the cheeks, und j there it remains until the parrot fish feels that he has collected enough to make a good meal. He then lies on the bottom and chews j the cud by means of the splendid set of teeth which nature has placed, ncrt J in his mouth, but in his throat.?Es- j tfeange. j % . PLEASANT HILL DOTS.
