The Three Great Channels.
Every human being—man. woman
and child, hero and convict, neuras- |
thenic and deep sen fisherman, athlete i
and invalid needs the blessing of God |
through three. and only three. great |
channels responsibifity., recreation
and affection: work, play and love. |
With these any life is ‘happy in spite |
of sorrow and pain. successful despite
the bitterest failures, Without them a |
man breaks his heart, severs his con- |
scious connection with God. If you |
want to keep a headstrong, fatuous |
Youth from overreaching himself you !
try to sive him responsibility, recrea- |
tion avd affection. IF you want to put i
wcournze nnd aspiration into the gelati- |
nous character of a street walker or |
the flickering mentality of a hysterie
you lnbor 10 furnish just the same trio
—wor's, recreation and: affection. In
every case the healing power which
you want to give is real life, and real
life means just these three things.
The same needs are fixed for all of us
and the same ail sufficing bounty in
the supply if we can get and keep in
touch with it.—Atlauntic,
Mice For Whooping Cough.
A fairly alarminz relic of medieval
nosirums came to my notice recently.
A mother was discussing with her
housekooper the probability of her
<hildiren taking whooping cough, which
was then prevalent in the community.
The housckeeper, a most dependable,
valuable helper, of more than average
good sense and judgment, said: “Mrs,
Black, if you'll let me I can keep your
children from having whooping cough.
T've kept lots of children from having
it, but 1 wouldn't do it without telling
vou first.”
“Well, Martha, what is it?”
“You catch a live mouse and kill and
dress it and stuff it and bake it and
feed it to the children. It isn’t bad to
take, and of course they don't know
what it is. That would spoil the
<harm.”
To wy friend's exclamation of horror
=he replied with conviction. “I've given
it to lots of children, and never one of
them had whooping cough.” Mary

When Wagner Died.
“Nearly all the visitors to Venice,” |
says a letter from that city, “go to the |
Vendramin palace to see the place
where Wagner lived nearly a year and
where he died in February, 1885. We

Thoughtful Girl.
The young man was calling on the!
girl. He didn’t know her very well,
but she looked good to him. He want.
ed to call again the next night, but
hardly had tne nerve to ask permission |
fo do so. i
“I'd like to come up again,” he said |
when he was ready to go home. “How!
about next week some time?"
A look of disappointment came over |
her (ace. “Next week?” she sald.
“Why, isn't that—er—well, I'll tell you |
what to do; you come up tomorrow,

Look About You.
It is wonderful how much one can
fearn by cultivating the habit of ob.
servation. As you walk in the street
or ride in the car you pick up a sur-
prising amount of information. Our
fellow beings are intensely interesting,
and they are constantly teaching us
something or other. Do not let your
knowledge stagnate. Put it to some
practical use.

“Which Cariyie?”
There is nothing to mark the Arch
House, where Carlyle was born. in the
Scottish village of Feclefechan, from
Lhe other lowly dwellings that line the
village street, and a native guide will
be wnecded If the pligrim desires to
find his way to Carlyle’s grave: hence
the story of the great writer's brother,
James, who was met one day in the
village by a bund of Americans. Igno-
rant of his identity, they asked him
the whereabouts of Carlyle's grave.
“Which Cariyte? “Oh, the great Car-
Iyle, Thopas Carlyle.” With unmoved
face he gave the information asked
and was rewarded with a fine outburst
of hero worship. “We have come all
the way from America,” said the
spokesman of the pilgrims. “to lay
this wreath on our great teacher's
grave.” “Ha!” rejoined James, still
unmoved. “It's a gey harmless occu-
pation!” All of which, and especially

Ths Czar's Soufiser,
Czar Paul's snuffbox was as sacred
as the imperial crown itself. No one
was allowed to touch it. Kapioff wa-
gered that lie would take a pinch out
of it. One morning he walked up to
the table which stood near the bed on
which the ezar still reclined and bold-
ly took from it the majestic snuff-
box. Opening it noisily, he inserted
his fingers, and. while aul I. was
watching him in stupefaction at such
audacity, be sniffed up the fragrant
powder with evident satisfaction.
“What are you doing there, you
rogue?’ exclaimed the czar excitedly.
“Having a pinch of snuff, sire. I
have now been on duty for eight hours
and, feeling drowsy, 1 thought it
would keep me awake, for T would
rather break the rules of etiquette
than neglect my duty.”
Paul burst out laughing
replied:
“That's right enough, my lad, but as
the snuffbox is not large enough for
both of us you can keep it for your-
self.”

“The settlers gave a Thanksgiving

a conversation with him
which appears in the life of the poet
by I. Ellis Roberts. “I heard him
once during dinner,” says Rogers, “ut-
ter many bitter complaints (which
Lady Hamilton vainly attempted to

at court that forenoon—the queen had
not condescended to take the slightest
notice of him. In truth, Nelson was

him.” But then it must be remem-
bered that Rogers was renowned as a
particularly ill natured gossip.
The Ruling Passion.
it is related of a certain German sa-
vant, to show how strong the ruling
passion is in death, that as he was
| dying he exclaimed in French, In
which language he was deeply learn-
ed, “Je meurs” (I die). Pretty soon he
opened his eyes before passing away
and added: “Man kann auch sagen,
Je me meurs!” (One can also in French
use the reflexive form of the verb “to
die’) His last flicker of interest was
in the word more than in the fact of
death.

the allotted time the plan was pre-

serpentine track? Yon must have
misunderstood me.”
“Sire,” said the spokesman, “we
have drafted the shortest route whick
would embrace on the line the leading

said, and he struck a bee line from one
