those nearest nrul dearest te

Iter daughter Maud possessed a dis
position exactly the reverse. She sacrl
tlccd for those nearest and dearest to
her, while her mother was engaged hi
general charities. The consequence
was that Maud's sacrifices, which wen
real ones, passed unnoticed and un
known, while those of her mother
whi'-h were not real ones, gained hei
t! > reputation of being one of the
l;;i-.'e. i hearted women In the world.

T'oo Judge In Jail.
"I," said an esteemed magistrate,
"spent a week in jail before I entered
on my judgeship. 1 ate the prison
food. T slept in a cell. I conformed
with all the prison rules. 1 wore the
prison clothes. 1 did the prison work
Thus 1 learned the value of the sen

got to know what n week, a month, a
year, in Jail meant. As a result I am
more merciful than most Judges. I
think it would be a good thing if every
judge before taking oli'oe would spend
a little while in Jail as 1 did. lie would
then know the value of prison sen
