Most men of sense are also mod- .est. The fool who admits his folly is no longer a fool. A philosopher is he who doesn’t want what he can’t have. It’s easy for the man with a good Income to be a philosopher. You may think yourself a super- l01 being, but keep it to yourself. No girl treats a young man bet- ter than he sees her treat her m0~ ' ther. Stupid people seldom realize their stupidity; which is fortunate for them. Mind your own business, and let other people mismanage theirs if they want to. _ Girls who cheapen themselves soon learn that most men are not bargainâ€"hunters.

Tun TOMBSTONE curr'rnnf Plying Mallet and Chisel 110 Phil- osophizes on a Familiar Inscription. “Do you know,” said the tombâ€" stone cutter as he chipped away at the last letter of the last word of the familiar inscription, “At Best.” that he was carving in the granite, “do you know that when I first be- gan carving these words on tombâ€" stones a good many years ago, when I was younger and the world seemâ€" ed lull hopelulness, it used to sometimes seem to me as if people had ’em put on, as you might say, on general principles, because they seemed nice and appropriate there, while really the deceased. might not have had such a terrible hard time in life, and would much rather be not at rest but up and around among folks '4 “That’s the way these words used to strike me when I was younger, but now, after considerable experiâ€" ence of life, I look at them differ- ently. Now I realize that they may truly mean what they say, and be not merely an appropriate form; that the one over whose grave they are seen may in truth be glad to lie there under the stone, at last at rest. “Because, you seeâ€"as we are like- ly to discover when we grow older â€"â€"this life is not a road strewn with roses for all of us; and besides those who have been worn out in life’s‘ struggles or in its simple work we find those who have been disap- pointed, or misunderstood, or unap- preciated, or those who have been broken by some great sorrow. “So, while in many cases, indeed, that ‘At Rest’ carved on the tombâ€" stone may be but a form, or have been prompted simply bv love or af- fection, and yet, in many cases, placed there most lovingly, it tells a true story, and always, now, from my present point of View, I look at it not lightly, but with a sympatheâ€" tic heart. Many a gentle soul, nev- er shunning. may be glad to lay down life’s burdens. ‘ “But, happily, as to most of us life adjusts its burdens to our aging shoulders and deadens us to mental ills, with increasing years we grow cold, not only in our blood but in our power of apprehension of life’s troubles, or it may be that, blessed still with the possession of all our faculties, we are now endowed with a kind philosophy that makes us at once less exacting of others and more considerate, and gives to us a full measure of enjoyment. In short, nature may be very kind to us, keep- 'ing us to the very end through years that may seem to us never de~ clining but over happy and hopeful. “As,-for all my years, and despite my calling, the world seems to me this morning.” . *4”â€"- BABY’S GEEAT DANGER. DURING HUT WEATHER. ~â€" More little lives are lost during the hot weather than at any other time of the year, diarrhoea, dysen- try, cholera, infantum and stomach troubles come without warning, and when a medicine is not at hand to give promptly the short delay too frequently means that the child has passed beyond aid. During the hot weather months Baby’s Own Tab- lets should be kept in every home where there are small children. An occasional dose of the Tablets will prevent stomach and bowel trouâ€" bles. Or if the trouble comes un- awares the prompt use of this me- dicine will bring the child through safely. Mrs. J. Renard, New Glasâ€" gow, Que, says :â€"-“One of my chil- dren had a severe attack of diar- rhoea which Baby’s Own Tablets promptly cured.

It would only give you more dyspep- 51a. “Your mistress tells me, June, that you wish to leave and become an attendant at a lunatic (influx)? of all places, Why, what ex}.mrience have you had 2” “Well, sir, I’ve been here three years." A CAUSE OF CRIME. Mr. Phligmfntliroe’s View of the Effect 01' Cold Plates on Mankind. “1 suppose” said Mr. Phligmin- three, “that when everything has been counted up and reduced to the final analysis it will be discovered that the one single, most prolific cause of crime is cold plates. . “I wouldn’t be understood as say- ing that cold plates are a direct in- citment to murder, though it is not Impossible that might be so; but as an insidious, undermining cause, as an influence tending perhaps indi- rectly, but still with no less cer- tainty, to the committing of crime I have no doubt you would find cold plates leaving all the rest. “How often do we hear it said of the fate of nations that it is trembâ€" ling in the balance, ready to be movâ€" ed this way or that by the slightest touch? And if this can be true of nations how much more may it be true of individuals, who may be swayed, their fortunes for the time settled, or their whole conduct of life determined by the slightest cirâ€" cumstance? “Coming back now to cold plates. You take a man who has worked hard and been hurried an day and who comes home at night tired and Worried and whom a square meal would brace up mightin and cause him to take a new view of life and to set his face in the right direction, and you give this man a good dinner with hot plates and don’t you see that you head him up right and con- firm in him his good impulses? You nail him, so to speak, you start him off right, and you keep him going right; and there’s a man saved. _ “And now you take that same man and give him his dinner on cold plates; and that may be the last straw that breaks the camel’s back, and he may get peevish over it, and not enjoy his after dinner smoke, and get so wrought up that he doesn’t sleep well that night and wakes up the next morning and goes to business already tired out and not fit to do anything, so that he loses his temper and is cross and .irritable, and misses every play he makes and goes from bad to worse and winds up maybe by killing some- body before the day is over. All this is absolutely attributable to cold plates. “So of major crimes such as murâ€" der and that sort of thing; but when it comes to little things, such as plain sulkiness and kicking over chairs at home, and being cross to the children and making your wife unhappy and causing gloom to settle on the household generally, why, these cold plates have crimes to answer for innumerable. “Tall oaks from little acorns grow, mill-dams break and spread their devastating waters from leaks that at first you couldn’t put your little finger through, and I have no doubt that many disturbing, dis- tressing, harowing things have been primarily due to so small a thing as cold plates, which indeed, as I have said, I believe to be the one most prolific cause of crime. “And taking this View, what a reâ€" sponsibility rests upon those whose duty it is to see that the plates are hot! For the good of humanity, if not for our own comfort, well being and happiness, give us hot plates!” .â€"-â€"-â€"- mâ€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"- THE EAR'I‘II’S XEN 0GB“.-. ESIS. (By a Banker.) In the earlier epochs of its history, the aspect of this earth of ours was subiect to continued and Violent changes. In that remote period far away down the dim vista of the past, without form and void, it is plunged in the blackness of darkness, owing to the dense mists and asphaltic vapors rising from its semi-molten surface. Then during the long aeons followmg it gradually cools down, and the wondrous principle of Life appears; at iirst of an extremely lowly type, then as the earth be- came more and more capable of supâ€" porting it, Subsequent creations gradually advancing to higher and more perfect types. Then, the dry land being raised up from the waâ€" ters, vegetation appears; the first in order havmg apparently been the common horsctail, still to be found abundantly in many marshy places throughout the we1 Id.
