Sometimes the letter involved is a capital letter; some- times it is of the smaller kind; some- times It is one letter and sometimes another. In any event you will find few men who are exempt from the fail- ing referred to. "I know of one man who in spite of the fact that he does a great deal of writing has never learned how to make a capital P. He simply makes a stag- ger at it, and, as a rule, the result of his efforts will Wok more like a small p than like the capital P. I know an- other man who can't make a small f Ito savnthis life. He can never get the lower part of the letter below the line. He makes it look like a clubfooted b instead of an f. There are others who, when they try to make the small b, give it the long shank, and it looks more like the letter f.It is rather sin- gular that these traits should hang on to. a rean'e writing for a lifetime, but They do it just the same, and if yon make a few inquiries among your Mende and acquaintances you will find _ that but few at then] are -exempt from this fault. "It is very much like the habit of , spelling certain words incorrectly: Many men who are rated as first class spellers pass through life without ever in a single instance spelling certain word k correctly. It is due to habit' largely. If you should ask them how to spell the word, they would tell you, but, when they go to write it, that is quite different, and they will get it wrong every time. So they know, too, haw certain letters should be made, but they simply can't put them down on paper. It is. a curious but common fault." ANIMAL ODDITIES. Birds never eat fireflies and really seem to shun their vicinity. -North American reindeer usually se - le& an aid doe for their leader. - The temperature of a swallow's body is extraordinarily high, no less than 112 degrees P. Cats and beasts of prey reflect fifty times as much light from their eyes as human beings. The average lake trout lays 6,000 eggs each season, and the whitefish a greater number. The female English viper does not lay eggs. She hatches them internally and brings forth her young alive. Parrots are usually vegetarians, though the Kea parrots of New Zea- land have developed a fondness for sheep: Garfish, sunfish, basking sharks and dolphins all have the habit of swim- ming with their eyes above the surface of the water.

"Allow me to write my address in your memorandum book." "Do you know that is a very dangerous thing to do?" Willis remarked. "It cost me $240 once. I had the habit of carrying no cards and signing my name in a new friend's notebook, just as you are about to do in mine, always on a blank page. One day, after a convivial even- ing, I was presented With an I 0 1:1 for that sum, duly signed by myself. It was impossible to dispute it. I had to pay up. But I have never since been so free with my autograph." "By George, I never thought of that!" cried Barrow. "Suppose you write my name down yourself."

It he Lobni• G nieNi the Long -Run Por Any seneilee yeung man ought to eo ire he ra;.'l be up late nights 14.; slunta, 1 e in full pos- '- session of ills faculties for business the next day, and he ought te know' also that a man must be clear headed and in full possession of bis faculties to hold kis own in the keen eompention of lift. Your "good fellow" is popular for the time being, but when his money, is gone and he bas lost his job and is on his uppers the "good fellow" busi- ness doesn't get him anything. Ifs' "poor fellow" then—another good man gone wrong, and "the boys" are ready to bail another "good fellow" who has the price. We don't mean by aids to say that "the boys" are mercenary. They don't altogether pass up a "good felloW" when he goes broke, but it isn't the same. They say he hit the booze too hard and couldn't stand the pace. They feel sorry for Min, but he is out -of It. His geed fellowship doeSn't exeuse him even hi the eyes of his friends for hav- ing thrown away his opportunity. The young man who gets the .sieita hes system needs, is temperate in his habits, lives within his means and shows up for work in the morning with a clear eye and active brain—thafa the man business men are looking for. They want employees -whom they:eau trust Having worked hard and laid by a competence, they want to throw some of the bierdens off, and they won't throw them off on the employee who is too much of a "good fellow," Cut it out, boys. There's nothing In it. There's a whole lot of nonsense 111 that "good fellow" business. You taift fool the public very leng by living be- yond your Means an4 keeping up ap- pearances., There must be a sbowdown some time or other, and that means a loss of self respect and many bitter ex- periences. Marty a bright and promis- ing business man has failed because he tried to travel Is too sivift a dam, whereas had he lived within his means heanight bave become a highly success- , sui merchant. The world doesn't glee up its treas- ures easily. It Isn't in the cards for all of us* to be millionaires, and mighty, few of the "good fellows" get into that, class. It's better to earn your way first and go hunting for good times when you have readied the point where you can spare beth the time and the money. Then possibly you'll have more sense and have a different notion about what a good time is. An Enemy of Pansies. There is one enemy for which the patisy lover must watch like a. lynx, and that is a little green worm that seems made on purpose to devour pan- sies. Where he comes from or why he should exist at all in a mystery. But if you find your little plants stop grow- ing and see the leaves perforated with small boles and your blossoms gnawed behold, yotir enemy is there. Eternal vig,ilanee alone will save you. Your face must be brought to the surfaee ef the ground. Kneel and turn up -every leaf. Doubtless you will find thesmall green monster 'curled up and hiding, sueking out all the juices el' the plant' and so becoming exhetlyi its -color, wIlich makes him so difficult to -tilde - and if not checked he will utterly de- stroy It. He will devour it in a few days. The Boy, A boy is an odd piece of furniture, but he is the ground and chief ingre- dient of the man. Delude not yourself with the belief that the boy is 110t all he pretends to be, for he is a great deal more. He is an incomprehensible fel- low to any one but another boy, and because he will presently grow itito f the awkward between bay and - ies period, that separates boyhood &An manhood, and to a lumbering idiot then, don't. signify that be fe an idiot now. He never is But his chrysalis state fetters him and makes hint seem like one sometimes. The boy is an right. He sneeeed.ea. - A man arrested for murder bribed an Irishman on the jury with f200 to hang out for a verdict of manslaugh- ter. The jury were out -a long trim and finally- came in with a verdict of manslaughter. The man rushed up to the Irish juror and said; "I'm obliged to you, my friend. Did you have hard time?" "Yes," said the Irishman; "au awful time. The other eleven wanted to ac- quit yer."—London Answers. The Last Dueling Clergymen. "When did clergymen cease to fight duels?" is a startling inquiry in Notes and Queries. It will be news to many of us that they were ever fond of that exhilarating pastime. But, as a Mat- ter of fact, the Rev. Mr. Allan fought a duel with Lloyd Delany, Esq., and killed him in Hyde park to 1782. lie was convicted of manslaughter and fined 1 sinning plus six months in New- gate. His Venal Preference. "What kind of meat have you tbis morning Larry?" asked the board ef trade operator. "Well, sir," said the butcher, "Pile that's just buolitv'et—me some got some fine bear steak and some beef Iambi" Quite Another Thing. "He was unable to meet his bilis, 1 understand?'
