historic day. ^ '

when painting a holy personage on

T HERE is not such a mighty
difference, as some men im
agine, between the poor and the
rich—in pomp, show and opinion
there is a great deal, but little
as to the pleasures and satisfac
tions of life.
The poor and the rich enjoy the
same earth, and air, and heavens;
hunger and thirst make the poor
man’s meat and drink as pleasant
and relishing as all the varieties
which cover a rich man’s table;
and the labor of a poor man is
more healthful, and many times
more pleasant, too, than the ease
and softness of the rich.—Dr.
Sherlock.

Bertha Wished to Know
Punishment—Just in Case
“Don’t fidget!" snapped moth
er.
Little Bertha stopped toying
with the lid of her chocolate box
and endeavored to concentrate
upon the play. But it was a dull
affair.
In two minutes her small fin
gers were busy again.
“Now, Bertha," exclaimed her
mother, “I warn you.”
When her mother spoke like that
she was not to be disregarded.
Glancing doubtfully at the dull
stage, and then at the tempting
lid, Bertha whispered:
“Would it be a hairbrush, mum*
my, or just your hand?"
Clothes From Trees
In parts of South America, na
tives skin the bark from certain
trees, cut holes for the arms, and
wear it like a shirt. In Rhodesia
the inner bark is stripped from
trees and soaked in water. Origi
nally white, it becomes brown,
soft and pulpy. It is then tapped
gently with a club and twisted
and stretched to about four times
its original area. It is rubbed
with oil, dried in the sun and worn
as a cloak.
Mixed Defense
The indiscriminate defense of
right and wrong contracts the
understanding, while it hardens
the heart.—Junius.
