PLAIN GIRL IS FAVORITE'
WITH MANY PEOPLE SHE IS
BEST LIKED.
The Girl Who is Denied Beauty May
be Sunny Tempered and
Comforting.
I wonder how many girls havo
fretted their hearts out because
beauty has been denied them,
w rites a lsdy correspondent.
If you are plain the quicxest way
to n►ako yourself plainer is by frot-
tiug and discouteut.
Uf course, it is nice to be pretty
—no one can deny that, Lot if you
are not, the best thing to do is to
snake tho best of such good looks
as you have.
lie a wise girl and say to your-
self. "I am not pretty, now what
can I do to make people forgot my
lack of hearty 1 What are my best
qualities, and what can I do to
make myself loved 1"
In the first place try to bo sun-
ny -tempered; a frown on a plain
face is a distressing sight. Think
of others and their likes; make
yourself a comfort to whomsoever
you comp in contact with. Never
get sour; people do so hate a sour
person.
I remember overhearing an old
lady in the country discussing a
number of children who lived at
bor farm during the summer. "It's
a pity," said her daughter, "that
Mollie is so plain."
"Oh, I do not know," said the
old woman. "She is plain, but
she's so comforting that. I like her
best of all the children. If she
were pretty she might bo spoiled
and not nearly so sweet."
So perhaps you can bo "comfort-
ing," and believe mo, you will
make many friends if you aro.
MORE THAN GOOD LOOKS.

are spoiled, for I have known many
girls who were as lovely in disposi-
tion as in face; but I do say that the
plain girls need not despair nor
fret because of their plainness.
Some foolish people will tell you
that men only caro for beauty and
that the pretty girls get all tho at-
tention.
That's not so, my dears, for the
man who is worth looking at twice
demands - something better than
utero good looks in the girl he
loves.
Tho pretty girls have a slight start
because men seeing their good
looks are attracted and are asked to
meet them, but a man very quickly
finds out a girl's true worth, and
now -a -days a pretty face and empty
bead are not enough.
MAKE PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
Listen to what people have to
say; don't try to make thein listen
to you, and never answer at ran-
dom. You must look interested
while they talk, even if they are
discussing s..n:o hobby which you
do not understand ; ask thein to
explain it.
Be nice to your own sex; you
can't aflord to hose the friendship
i f other girls.
Be ready for what ever fun is on
hand and don't be critical. No ono
is Ito tiresome and discouraging as
the person mho always finds fault.
Just remember this, girl, whether
you are plain or pretty, the great-
est beauty of all is the beauty of
expression. and that can only come
if your heart is good and sweet.
Keep yourself wholesome by fresh
sir, exeieise and sensible hours,
and if, added to that, you aro
cheerful and kind, you need not
fear that you will not be popular,
nor need y , u fret over your plain-
ness,

THE HINDU SCHOOLBOY.
His Chief Fault is That of Carry -
Ing Tales.
The pupils in schools in India
are much more amenable to discip-
lino than our boys. Dr. T. L. Pen-
nell, the author of "Among the
Wild Tribes of the Afghan Fron-
tier," says that the Indian school-
boy has not yet lost the ancient tra-
ditional respect and love of the pu-
pi: for the master, and therefore
wins the sympathy and interest of
his instructors.
his incorri-
gibleHis chief failing in
propensity to what is known
in English schools as "sneaking";
schoolboy honor and esprit de corps
aro being developed in mission
schools, but have very little basis
c n which to build.
"Please, sir, Malitab Din has
been pinching mc."
"Shuja'at 'Ali has
book."
"Ram Chand has spilt ink on my
copy -book."
If the master is willing to listen
to tales of this kind, ho will get a
continuous supply of them all day
long.
There is much greater diversity
in the school status of the boys in
an Indian school than in English
schools. In the Bnnnu Mission
School every class of the community
is represented, from the son of the
rich landowner to that of the lab-
orer, from the Brahman to the out-
cast, and not only do they get on
well together without the poor boy
having to feel by taunt or treat-
ment that ho is unwelcome or de-
spised, but I havo often come
across genuine nets of charity which
have been done quite naturally and
without any ostentation ; in fact,
such deeds are kept secret in tho
majority of cases.
Thus a poor boy, unable to buy
his hooks, has had them supplied
to him by the richer boys of his
class. In one case a poor boy was
left quite destitute by the death of
bis father, and some of tho boys ar-
ranged a small subscription month
by month to enable him to remain
at school.
HE GOT THE JOB.
A hardware store advertised for
a.1 errand -boy. As it happened,
the boss was talking to a customer
at hen a boy came in. Thinking he
wanted to buy something ho ex-
cused himself, and going over to
the boy asked him what Ile could
do for him.
The boy told him that he came in
answer to his advertisement and
asked kr the job.
11'ell, of course, the boss got mad
Ly being disturbed while he was
talking to a customer. He said to
the boy :--
"You go outside and walk on. If
1 call you back, why, I will hire
you; if I don•1, why, you just keep
right on walking."
The boy did as he was told, but
on going out he picked up a shovel
that was standing near the door,
put it on his back, and started
down the street.
Before he hnd gone ten yards the
01(1 man was after hien, yelling,
'tome back : Oen" back :"
The boy came back, took off his
coat, and asked where he wanted
hien to work, downstairs or up-
stairs, or where.
The man took one gond look at
him and said : "1 guess you're the
sort of boy I want. Hover mind
tutting your coat on. Start right
in."

QUAINT SCHOOL CUSTOMS. e
Ordeal for New Boy at Rugby—The
"Kish" at Marlborough.
J. L. Paton, headmaster of Man-
chester Grammar Schuol, in a
speech at Rochdale, referred to a
c ustou► at Rugby School which for-
bids is buy of Less than three years
standing to turn up his trousers
and insists on his doing so after
that period, says the London Daily
Mail.
The custom is only a minor in-
stance of the quaint practices that
exist at all the great public schools,
and are maintained with religious
care, though in many eases their
origin is obscure or unknown. The
Shrove Tuesday tossing of thi pan-
cake at Westminster School, with
its ensuing scramble for the larg-
est fragment, which gains for its
possessor a guinea from the dean,
.s perhaps the best known among
them.
A curious custom at Marlborough
requires every boy to bring to
school with him a cushion, techni-
cally termed a "kish"—with the
"i" long. This article is his in-
separable companion in school time,
and in addition to the ordinary
functions of a cushion is employed
w carry books from one form room
to another.
At Shrewsbury School at the be-
ginning of each term "hall elec-
tions" aro held for the posts of hall
crier, hall constable, hall postman
and hall scavengers. Tho genial
brutality of youth often selects for
the position of hall crier either the
most nervous boy in the school or
one who is afflicted with n stammer.
The new boy in the school house
at Rugby is early called upon to
take part in /`house singing." At
this function, which is held in ono
of the dormitories, he has to ren-
der a song to the satisfaction of
his audience, the penalty being the
swallowing of a mouthful of soapy
water.
Ai►other ancient school custom is
the parade of the Christ's Hospital
bluecoat boys before the Lord
Mayor at the Mansion House on
St. Matthew's Day, when the
"Grecians," who correspond to
"sixth formers," elsewhere, receive
a guinea each and the rank and filo
of the school aro presented with
new shillings.
The Real Liver Pill.—A torpid
liver means a disordered system,
mental depression lassitude and in
the end, if care be not taken, a.
chronic state of debility. The very
beat medicine
to arousetho liver
to healthy action is Parineleo's
Vegetable Pills. They are com-
pounded of purely vegetable sub-
stances of careful selection and no
other pills have their fine qualities.
They do not gripe or pain and they
are agreeable to the most sensitive
stomach.
WISE SUGGESTION.
The head of a certain manufactur-
ing firm is an old gentleman who
built up his business from nothing
1.) his Own dogged and persistent
toil, and who never felt that he
could spare the time fur a holiday.
Not long ago, however he decided
that he was getting on in years, and
that he was entitled to a rest. Cal-
ling his son into the library, he
said :—
"Torn, I've worked pretty hard
for a long time now and havo done
well, so I have decided to retire and
turn the business over to you.
-What do you say 1"
The young man pondered the situ-
ation gravely. Then a bright idea
seemed to strike him.
"I was just thinking, pater," he
suggested. "how would it bo for
you to work a few years longer,
and then we could both retire to-
getherl"
t
When a lazy man does finally get
started how he does work -for a
few minutes!

AN ELECTRIC CLOCK.
An interesting electric clock, run
by a single dry cell, and quite in -
d .pendent of external connection,
has just been put on the Market in
England. A heavy balance -wheel
is kept in motion by an electro-
magnet mounted diametrically
across it. As the balance -wheel
swings against the action of the
coiled spring, a stud on the axle
makes contact with a light spring,
thus completing the electric circuit,
and energizing the magnet, which
acts for a moment upon the bal-
ance -wheel. This impulse is given
once every four seconds. It is said
that a dry cell will run the clock
for 1,000 consecutive hours. Tho
movement is noiseless, and tho
clock may be placed in any position
without interfering with its run-
ning.

Apparently the ballroom is be-

just closed that no loss a person-
age than Mrs. George Koppel, a
favorite with King Edward, came

Ono of the figures demanded that

what was described as "a nasty

time.
