—THE KHAN,
She Bought a Door Bell.
Agent—Beg pardon, ma'am, but I have
been requested by a number of persons to
call here and show you our new patent
Electric Wakethedead Door -bell. It is
very hard on hands to have to knock,
ma'am, and everybody says the only
reason why you haven't a door bell is be-
causo you never thought of it.
Housekeeper—That's very true. I really
had forgotten that there was no bell. Put
one on.
Agent (half an hour later)—It's all done,
ma'am. Here is the bill. Thank you. I
will receipt it.
Housekeeper—Would you object to tel-
ling me who the persons were who com-
plained that I had no bell ?
Agent—They were peddlers, ma'am.
Good -day, ma'am.
He Did Not Know.
The Transcript tells the following story
of Prosessor Blackie : Blackie was lectur-
ing to a new class with whose personal he
was, imperfectly acquainted. A student
rose to read a paragraph, his book in his
left hand.
Sir I thundered Blackie, hold your book
in your right nand. And as the student
would have spoken, no words sir 1 Your
rigLt hand"I say
The student held up his right arm, end-
ing piteously at the wrist. Sir, I hae nae
right hand, he said.
Before Blackie could open his lips there
arose such a storm of hisses as one,perhaps,
must go to Edinburgh to hear, and by it
his voice was overborne. Then the.profes-
sor left his place and went down to the
student he had unwittingly hurt, and put
his arm around the lad's shoulders and
drew him close, and the lad leaned against
his breast.
My boy, said Blackie—he spoke very
softly, but not so softly but that every
word was audible in the hush that followed
on the class-room—my, boy, you'll forgive
mo that I was over -rough ? I did not know
—I did not know 1 IIe turned to the
students, and with a look and tone that
came straight from his great heart, he
said : And let me say to you all, I am re-
joiced to be shown I am teaching a class of
gentlemen. Scottish lads can cheer as
well as hiss, and that Blackie learned.
Heart Disease and LongerltY.
Let those who are haunted with
suspicions of heart disease, and even
those who have good reason to know
they are suffering, take courage from
a story told by the late Sir Andrew
Clark in the course of a clinical lecture
at the London hospital. After re-
minding the young students of tho
necessity for caution in the prognosis,
or forecast, of the progress of this
dlsettee, Sir Andrew went on to relate underhand methods.

The Hasty Word.
To think before you speak ie so wise
an axiom that one would hardly think
it needful to emphasize it by repetition.
And yet in how many oases the hasty
temper flashes out in the hasty word,
and the latter does its work with the
precision and the pain of the swift
atilletto. Singularly enough the hasty
word oftenest wounds those who love
one another dearly. and the very
closeness of their intimacy affords
them opportunity for the sudden
thrust. Vve know the weak points in
the armor of our kinsman and our
friend ; we are aware of his caprices,
and ordinarily are tender and compass
sionate even of his vanities and his
small fancies and whims , but there
dawns a day when it is written in the
book of fate that we shall be as cruel
as we are loving. We are cold, or
tired or hungry. We are anxious
over unpaid bills, or our expected
letters have not arrived, or one of the
children is ailing, and we dread the
outcome of the malady. So politeness
fails,us fortitude is vanquished,pbilos-
ophy is in abeyance and we say that

ashes. But tiiongll the hasty word

gotten. If has flawed the crystal of

He that loses conacience has nothing left

The earnestness of lifeis the only pass-

The wisest habit of all, is the habit of

No man ever cosigned injury to another

He who would not be full of care in his

He that loseth his heart in the morning

A bitter jest is the poison of friendship,
and ho that restrains not his tongue shall

Be careful for your health, and if yon
