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. i is a all pretty r o sa • that Iden t P Yg 3 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, ALWAYS WITH US. An inquirer wants to know where Oke liars go to, but up to date there is no evidence they have gone any w hero.

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." _+ S.\Ml. THING.

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 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. Ill fitting boots and shoes cause corns. Holloway's Corn Cure is the article to use. Get a bottle at once and cure your corns. "Keep out of debt, young man," said the philosopher. "People will think better of you for it." "Per- haps," was the thoughtful reply; "and yet I've noticed that the more I owe people the more pleased they always seem to see me." Through indiscretion in eating green fruit in summer many chil- dren become subject to cholera morbus caused by irritating acids that act violently on the lining of the intestines. Pains and danger- ous purgings ensue and the delicate system of the child suffers under the drain. In such cases the safest and surest medicine is Dr. J. D. Kellogg's Dysentery Cordial. It will check the inflammation and save the child's life. "Now Mr. Jones, I don't see how, with your salary, you can afford to smoke such expensive cigars!" re- marked the merchant, severely, to ono of his clerks. "You're right, sir !" responded Jones.

At least one black eye and other dis- agreeable results have follo•.ved this inopportune meeting between tv,o fair but overhasty leaders of fash- ion. Apparently the ballroom is be- coming second only to the athletic field. It was during the season just closed that no loss a person- age than Mrs. George Koppel, a favorite with King Edward, came tc grief in dancing the cotillon. Ono of the figures demanded that the lady jump the rope, and in es- saying this return to her somewhat distant girlhood Mrs. Keppel had what was described as "a nasty fall," which laid her up for some time.
