JUST A BOY'S DOG.
No, siren, that dog won't bite;
Not a bit o' danger!
What's his breed! Shure I don't
know;
jest a 'boy's dog,' stranger.
No St. I3ernard—yet last year,
Time the snow was deepest,
Dragged ce little shaver home
Where the hill was steepest.
Aint't a bulldog, all the same,
'Twouldn't do to scoff him.
Fastened on a tramp ono time—
Couldn't pry him off him.
Not a pointed—jest the same,
When it all is over,
Ain't a bettor critter round
Startin' ell, the plover.
Sell him? Say, there ain't his price,
Not hi all the nation!
Jest a 'boy's dog'; that's his breed—
Finest in creation.
(MOOSE A LIFE VOCATION.
There comes a time when every
growing boy must face the question:
What shall I do for a life work?
It is an important question, one
that is as important to the parents
as to the child. It is one that must
be faced squarely and answered wise-
ly.
And yet there are many who shirk
and turn away, trying to avoid a
direct answer, leaving the solution to
what they hope will be a happy
chalice.
Then there are sons who leave the
solution entirely to their parents;
and there are parents who leave it
all to the sons.
Each should consider the matter
with diligence and frankness and
come to a determination agreeable to
both.
In considering the problem it will
be well to remember several things.
In the first place all real success
must be founded in the economic
principal of becoming a producing
member of the great industrial
scheme. There is no room in the
world for a drone.
Everybody must produce something
The man who produces what is most
needed and most wanted receives zhel
largest rewards.
As a general rule it is wise to try
to produce something of which the
supply is scant. In any case, it is
prudent to avoid those occupations
in which there is already a surplus
of the product. For instance, the
world is not crying for Lawyers, doc-
tors, preachers, or accountants. The
so-called professions are overcrowd-
ed. There is a large surplus stock
of legal advice on the market; also
medical advice and of bookkeeping.
Consequently the rewards are dimin-
ishing.
The kind of man that is most plen-
tiful in the market is the one who
knows no business in particular and
wants something in which he can
wear good clothes while at work.
Tho man most in demand and least
plentiful is the one who has had ac-
tual experience with some occupation
which soils the hands and the clothes
and who, at the sante time, has the
capacity for planning and directing.
A railway manager who has tramp-
ed the ties ancl built a trestle, a
book publisher who has set type; a
lumber dealer who has served as a
lumber jack; a contractor who has
"measured in" and "checked out"—
in a word, the man most in demand
and hardest to find is the one who
has learned some dine of business
from the basement to the 'front of-
fice." The men who want to learn
a business from the top down are
plentiful
This is a great industrial era.
There aro opportunities for all. Every
tan or twenty years the great indus-
trial army must be recruited anew.
The time has passed when it was not
"respectable" to be anything but a
"professional man." Science and
learning have become the handmaid-
ens of the industrial arts.
To -day anything is honorable that
is done well. Produce something
give something to the world, and ihe
world will pour its blessing into
your lap. 8
200 YEARS IN ONE HOUSE.

ily named Rushton, a reprceeetative

clay at Walkden, near Manchester, tho
site being required for a new Primi-
tive Methodist Chapel. In the early
part of last century the cottage,
curiously enough, served as a preach-
ing place for local Wesleyan Metho-
dists and handloom weaving was
also carried on in it; it also served
as an alehouse in the eighteenth
century.
THE ENGLISH VOCABULARY.
The English language—according
to a German statistician who has
made a study of the comparative
wealth of languages—heads the list
with the enormous vocabulary of
260,000 words. German comes next
with 50,000 words; then Italian,
with 75,000; French, with 130,b00;
Turkish. with 22,500; and Spanish,
with 20,000.

AUNTY GLEN'S CURE.
How the Old Lady Got Rid of a
Dreadful Headache.
Tommy Ponteroy's pneumonia led
to a discussion at the scwitlg-club
between an advocate of mustard
plasters and n believer in cold -water
applications.
"What a variety of cures there
are," recanted Miss Everett, pleas-
antly, with a meaning leak at the
others. "Yesterday I heard of the
'laughing cure'!"
"Indeed!" The minister's wife
hastened to help in steering cnnver-
sat101l away from the belligerents.
"You've kept yourself so young,
Mrs. Olein, you nest have something
interesting to contribute on cur, s," l
The old lady thus addressed was
a recent comer, hat it was gradual-
ly dawning on the community that
they had a saint among them—one

her "Aunty Glen."
"Do yon believe in mustard?" de-
manded the determined advocate.
"For those that it benefits, yes,"
said Mrs. Olen, gently.
"But tell us how you have kept l
well," hastily interposer! ]hiss Ever-
ett.
".1 don't mind telling, but T guess
you'll think it's n funny hind of

smile, "Once, years ago, I had a

"so r set right about forgiving
her as hard as I could, and pretty
soon I just loved Mehitabel Rceo'd,

The needles wore motionless. The
speaker, although flushing uncler the
gaze of In1n,V eyes, continued:
"Anel when I'rl thoroughly for-
g'iveu 110111tahel—why, my headache
'fres gone, nett T felt nice all over. It
set.. me to thinking. After that,
whenever 1' had an echo or pain, I
prau'tised going away by myself and
forgiving some one. Ie worked won-

"J)Id yon always lave some one,"
asked the minister's wife, softly, "to

"Deay me, no!" said Aunty
Clea. "Ev,:rybody's always treat-

"IL'ov did you matinge your 'euro'

"O?h, along about the same time I
ran out of aches and pains, too. I
haven't lost a flay in heel in forty-

There was a pause. Miss Everett,
with shining eyes, broke the silence:
"Ladies, I move a vote of thanks
to—to dear Aunty ('glen, for a bit
of very deep and very dear philoso-
phy. And I move, also, that we
adopt her cure and practise it —
with mustard plaster or without, as

A PROSPEROUS SOCIETY.
How the Independent Order of
Foresters Inas Grown,
Tho Supremo Court of the Indepen-
dent Order of Foresters held its
triennial session. at Atlantic City,
New ,Jersey, recently. The reports
submitted at this meeting show the
society to be a wonderfully prosper-
ous one. An Independent Finance
Committee investigated all tho secur-
ities, et c., alnd reported that they
found the business affairs of the or -
clot, managed in a thoroughly busi-
ness manner, the investments safely
and wisely made, and that no losses
had been incurred during all the
years of the order's history. The
order's accumulated funds have in-
creased in the last three years $3,-
272,845,51-. The or'der's position is
growing better every year, for
instance, the increase in accumulated
assets during the last two
years, 100:3-4, was 34.34 per cent.,
while the increase in insurance at
risk during, the sumo period was only
6.97 per Cott. The order has increas-
ed its accumulated funis silsee the
last meeting of the Suprone Court
more rapidly than it increased in any
equal time previously. During the
318 working clays of the year the
order pays out $8,892,89 per day,
and each day puts away a surplus
of $3,907. The order's accumulated
funds now amount to Over $9,000,-
000, and these, the committee re-
torts, are all well and safely invest-
ed. Tho society has added 11,000
members net for each ,year of the
Pest triennial period. No changes

that the death rate of the order is

It is a disgrace—
To half do things.
To be lax, indolent, indifferent,
Nut to develop your possibilities.
To do poor, slipshod, blotched
work.
1'o give bad example to young
people.
To have crude, brutish, repulsive
manners.
To live a half-life when a whole
life is possible.
Not to be scrupulously clean in
person and surroundings.
To ac'nnowlodge a fault and make
110 effort to overcome it.
To be ungrateful to friends and to
those who have helped tis.
'1'o go through life a pygmy w)ten.
Nature intended you for a giant.
To kick over the ladder upon
which WO have climbed to our posi-
tion.
'l'o be grossly ignorant of the cus-
toms and usages of good society.

REMARKABLE BOOK,
The Prince de Llgno is the fortu-
nate possessor of perhaps the most
curious book in the world. It is
neither ,printed nor written. The
letters- of the book are all cut out
of vellum and pasted on blue paper.
The book is as easy to road as if
printed from the boiclest type, Alt
the characters are opt out with
ma'vellous precision and untiernliter,
and this dexterous piece of handi-
craft must -have required a groat
amount of titno, labor and patience
by the author. The volume hears
the title "Tho Dook of all Passions
of Our Lord Jesus Christ, with
characters not composed of alis tna-
te'ial." It is said that in 1.640 the
Garman Emparo•, Rudolph II., offer-
ed the enorm008 sen of 11,000 du-
cats for this wonderful, but yet curi-
ous, work of art:. Whet mattes the
history of the boort more peculiar is
the fact that the English arms are
inscribed upoli it, although the book
is supposed never to have been in
England, '
