" Don't pick up that pin. Let me," saill
a lady to a young man who stooped to pick
up that useful article from the carpet.
" Whynot, pray? ". e Why, man. alive,
don't you see ite head is toward you? It's
bad luck to piok up a pin when the head is
towerd one. I remember old Cy Elender-
• son;who teed to work for Us, would come
home from the church of. which he was
sexton, and his coat lapel would fairly
bristle with the pins he had picked up
while sweeping. He always said that he
could get as many more if he hadn't been
afraid of bed luck that might follow hire if
he picked them up wrong end -to. Now,
then, while you are standing there you are
just drawing bad luck to yourself. You are
turning the chair round on one leg 1 sup-
pose, if you had the chance, you would just
as lief carry -a rake -or hoe through the
house ef3 not. Everybody knows that
brings the worst kind of luck."
Trifles and Details in Intellectual
Training. '
One of the first essentials iteeithormigh
intellectual training is to learn instantly
and accurately to discruninate. between
trifles and details. It is precisely the
careful, p tkent attention to the latter, as
it is igno ng of the former, thatroarke the
we11devefkpod man. Genius is morothan
half a per° ntion of relative velues. The
greatest scientists and the greatest artiste
alike have been. the men who knew precise-
ly what to slight and upon what to lavish
the closest attention ; and the sin and
weaknesie of modern literature lies in it
lack of this essential wisdom. No detail
eau he BO . slight and insignificantaimia_ba_
trifling, and on -the othenhand, no triffalian
be of sufficient importance to, be ranked
and considered with the details. -Boston
