On the tecond the tenants came to dine a,t the Han, and the grand banqueting -room in the western wing was thrown *open. The dinner pass- ed off well, and the tenants drank Sir Owerne h,ealth with nelay elteens. Nor were they much tees enthusiastic about Felix ween, ete health was proposed. After ..e, pleasant day they left Garwood pally In the evening. Lady Chevenix had been alone all day; the servente were In attend- ance on the numerous guests, and in the °mange ehe •ateten tor tea, think- ing that Sir Owen and Felix would like to Join her. Rir Owen, who had drunk more brandy In a few hours than another man would have drunk In a treek, made some observations about her tadsrship's tea which, when repeated by nue footmel iii the eere van& hall, caused great anmeement.

HOW' NOT TO HURRY. If we want to get the habit of hurry out of our brabis we must cut ourselve off, patiently end kindly, from the at mospeere of hum about .ns, The hebi gets so strong a hold on the nervee, and is. impressed upon them so forcibly as • steady tendenen, that it can be da tooted, by a gloss observer even in a per- son who is lying on a lounge in, the ful belief that he is resting. It shows itself especially in the breathing. A wise ath- lete has said thee our normal breathing should consist of six. breaths to one min- ute. If the reader will try this rate of breathing, the `slosynes of it will sur- prise 11110. Six breaths to one ndieute seem to make the breathing urmecessar- fly slow, and. just double that seems about the right number for ordinary people; and. the habit of breathing at this slower ate is a great help, from a . physical • standpoint, toward erasing the tendency to hurry.—Annie Payson Call, tin Leslie's Moettly for June. again " o nextmoment a „pair of strong axles hied tetzeci Min and had Morelia: throven lum sweetie the. the room.
