After a little he spologized to madame for the trouble he was making her. "It is no trouble; 11 is a pleasure." No courtesy could have been more t h o ugh lf11 In that loonkindness oiled all the wheels of trade. Good manners made bus Mg and selling a pleasure. The big, prosperous merchant quite for- got himself end he bought with open-handed generosity. Nor did he remember his discussion until he leached the street, when he began to understand the laughter of his com- panion. "Well," said the merchant, "Paris has taught 1110 OM thing—the law of courtesy. When 1 get back to 'New York T am going to have the heads of departments organize my clerks - into classes, with lectures 00 kind- ness end good manners." The law of courtesy has a commer- cial value. Courtesy will not make an ignorant man wise nor 0 stupid lazy clerk successful, but the youth 01 good parts will find that kindness 1111 courtesy are large additional as- sets and will do much to promote his success and good feeling among his fellow workers. 2. Courtesy and kindness betokens the well-bred gentleman. What culture is to the scholai• and what perfume Is to a. flower, that courtesy is to a gentleman. Kind- ness makes the youth a happiness maker. Courtesy is a delicate ex- halation that sweetens the atmos- phere. Good will diffuses itself in a genial glow.

He urged that his own store offered ad- vantages as many and great as the shops of Paris, "Do you want to know why one Americans spend their money here In Paris?" said his companion. "Come with me for an hour and I will show you the reason," Then the lawyer and Ole merchant went itito a shop. The July morning was hot, but the French merchant and his wife understood the law of kindness and courtesy. The lawyer /mid he wished to look at some gloves, some silk ties and some laces. "But first of all, you must sit down and rest." So madame brought aa easy chair and the shop- keeper insinted on bringing A FAN AND A 000L DRINK. Man In the heart, it manifests itself in good felloweldp, wholesomeness, cos- cliality, and those relined al tentions that go to make a youth popular among his companions. One day a friend asked 0 freshman In Iltu•vaed College why the boys always theered a certain professor. Now the freehman had never vonsid- erect that point before and he jump- ed zit 1111 neswer and he gave the right one; "01), he is so kind it al- ways seems good to have him around." Some people call courtesy a minor grace, but how can that vir- tue he little that lilted a professor to a throne ant) made him loom large above his fellows? Remember that roughness Is a sign of weakness, Some men are so harsh that their softest word is a blow. There are blunt, brutal men who ride rough- shod over their fellows and compan- ions, and Alley say: "Oh, you mustn't mind me! it is a way I have!" Suppose a porcupine were to say: "Don't 01111(1 my quills; it's a way I have." 'A hedgehog has Il8 way, but the way is very bad.

The law of com•tesy forbids harnh criticism. The word "criticism" is like Satan. who fell from heaven—it is a fallen word. It began as the artist's word and meant to select the beautiful and essential elements in a great paititing that should be lifted up for admiration and praise. THIS GLORIOUS W0131) Is like a seraph that has been drag- ged down until its pinions drag in the mud. We all know the type of man whose tongue it a flail. Here is the teacher who is always praising the bright echolar and when the slow one stumbles exclaims "You stupid fool 1'' And yet the boy has worked twice as faithfully, despite his failure, as the other one and earned his master's admiration did his teacher but know it. Oil's is a world that is harsh in its judgments and cruel in its criti- cism. Young man, restrain your tongue, lie kind. Practice courtesy. Keep the ideals of Sir Walter Bat- eigh's gentleman ever before you. Don't pelt the unsuccessful with words like stones. Consider that what the north wind cannot do to produce a harvest the south wind blowing softly, can easily accom- plish. Hate is as powerless as a blizzard. Love is as omnipotent as Ilia sunshine. Distribute le/ by your doily kindness. Go out like a sower and sow benefactions like a prince, Live with the courtesy of one who feels himself to be a natural king. Test yourself by Jesus Christ. He scattered benetactions and exaled kindness. lie kind, tenderhearted and forbearing if you woold reap the sweetest harvest for practical nueeess. THES. S.

London has the diattnetion of being the only port. whets, hho ships 11)1119at anchor are priVileged to have their letters delivered to them by river pustmen, it being customary 0(1t °filet. ports for sailors to apply p01'- 80(10111) for their letters (mime the ship is in dock. The Thames is divided into two peeled districts, each -under the con- trol of a river postman, who delivers lettt•rs and parcels every morning in a craft 10111(311 r•fseinbler, a fishing - boat move than anything else. Of these districts the That. extends f eons the 00010]]) noose to Liinehoitee ante Nanlhll13:100/111 /1'0111 .1,1 111011011SO 1,o Black v The river postmen start on their rounds punct achy at eight o'clock every morning, and, needless to say, there is only one dclivevy a day. The mail -bag may include as many as 500 letters. As he glides front ship to ship the river postman calls out "Ahoy there!" and hands' up the let- ters attached to a boathook to the wetting crew. 11; only, takes from four to five hours to deliver the mall, so that . the postman does not waste 'much time. In foggy weather, however, it takes considerably longer, owing to the dins/hies of finding' the various shins, and of steering' in betiveen the large vessels as they lie at anchor, At much times there Is also a great danger of being 1'101 down by 1)10s51»9 sh ips. As a general rule Lhe river Postman works down the Mit bunk first and then returns on the other 51110, It is not generally known that tile task of delivet•ing the rivet' letters has been more or less a family mo- nopoly for several. hundred years, and the forebears of the present post- man of the first district have 1.0011 employed at the work almost since letters were delivered to ships on the great tideway at all. In recognition of their services in this direction, Caeorge In, presented the fatally of Evans with the freedom of. all the ports in the kingdom and a Silver badge weighing 16 ozs., whicli is, of course, Inuell prized as an heirloom. 'Phe river postmen have also their oWn uniform consisting of the dimly coat and trouSers usually worn by Thames rivermen, but bordered with red and bearing the Post Office badge. In winter the river justman's work is extremely trying owing to the ins. tense cold, and it is by 110 means an unueual thing for the spray front the river to cause his clothes to freeze till they 1'050113810bB oards. ut he Has always the consolation of know- ing that at the end of his service he will be able to settle down for the rest of his days on a comfortable pension. —4„ VIOLET LEAVES A CURE, -- Cancer Patient Claims It Was Effective, William Gordon, a physician in a Devon (England) hospital, reports to the Lancet a supposed cuee for can - cot* which has aroused considerable public interest.

According to Count Pfeil, access is obtained to the prison by several 114110(19 iron -studded doors beneath the vaulted amides of the Troubet- skos, bastion, which are guarded by t urnlieys and double guards, with loaded guns and axed bayonets. Within is a long, broad corridor, guarded in turn by trustworthy men, chosen front the reserve of the body- guard stationed in the fortress. The floor of the corritlor is covered with several thicknesses of mats, so that guards and gendarmes move to and fro noiselessly. Opening on to the corridor are a long row of cells, each separated from the next by storm walls several feet in thickness. From the corridor the cell door can scarce- ly be distinguished from the grey masonry, and a, small sash window In the door leaves the prisoner un- der the gaze of the warders at all times.
