Mr. Moore has his own Ideas on
conducting a Sunday school. Here

The first step Is to love children and tho
Work.
Our scholars tnke home their lessons

An Eiample of Stem Bravado.
Por stern bravado, says the United
Service Magazine, It would be hard to
rival the feat of Ensign Glllls. who
saw a stray torpedo coming slowly, but
surely, toward the anchored torpedo
boat Porter lu the Spanish-American
war. Ho sprang overboard, turned tho
nose of the torpedo in a safer direction
and screwed up the filing pin tightly,
so that it would not operate. Then,
trending water, he saluted Lieutenant

report I have captured a torpodo."
"Hrlug It on board, sir," commanded
Fremont, nnd Gillls nctually did so,
swimming with it to tho ship and fas

went straight off to her bank, drew out
n hundred pounds in gold and, return

The Shamrock.
The Trinity legend of tho shamrock
appears llrst tn literature in 1727, in
Caleb Threkeld's "Synopsis Ktlrplum
Hibernlcarum." Under the heading of
"Trlfollum l'ratenso Album" occurs tho
following passage: "This plant Is worn
by the people In their bats on the 17th
day of March yearly, which Is culled
St. Patrick Day, It being u current trn
dilion that by this three leaved grass
he emblematically set forth to them tho
mystery of tho Holy Trinity. However,
when they wet their Souinur-oge, they
often commit excess In liquor, which is
not a light keeping of u day to tho
Lord, error generally leading to de
bauchery." Wlierft the Humane Kxcellrd.
Tho Humans were not in want of
teachers or of models, for they had
the Egyptians nnd the Greeks, hut
they never succeeded lu creuling an
art characteristic of themselves. No
people perhaps ever betrayed less
originality lu their productions In this
field, but they raised the other ele
ments of civilization to tho highest
point. Their military organization as
sured them the domination of the
world; their political and Judicial insti
tutions are still patterns for us, and
their literature Inspired the centuries
that followed them.

Doctor Do Taste Urotre,
"Do doctors know how how their
own tnedlclno tastes?" was a question
put to a group of physicians.
"To be sure," said one, "but we have
hard work to convince our patients
that we do. 'If you only knew how
this beastly stuff tastes, doctor, you
wouldn't nsk me to take It' that Is
what they say. And they nre hard
headed 'people, too, who say that, peo
ple who nre by no mentis raving In de

them that a doctor has a tasting ac
quaintance with his medicine.
" 'How did you Mini out about It? Is

you learn what tho different rcni'illcs
taste like?' It never occurs to the nv

Ancient Brarils.
The ancient .Tews considered It thfl
greatest Insult that could be offered
to a man to pluck bis beard. It whs a
notion of the Mohammedans that,
though Noah reached his thousandth
birthday, no hnlr of his blessed beard
fell off or became white; but the Mo
hammedans had no more authority for
that than for their belief that the devil
has but one solitary long hnlr for a
beard.
It was, ns Borne sny, In order to dis
tinguish themselves from the ancient
Israelites that tho followers of Moham
med cropped the beard: but Moham
med, as we know, sanctioned tho dye
lng of the beard nnd preferred a en no
color because that was the traditional
hue of Abraham's beard. More than
that, have we not the common Mo
hammedan oath, "Ily the beard of tho
prophet," as well as the supplication,
"Ily your beard, or the life of your
beard?"

The origin of "sterling" ns applied
to coined money Is thus given In "A
Short Treatise Touching Sheriffs' Ac
counts." by Sir Matthew Hale. J 1183:
"Current coin of the realm Is of gold
or sliver, with nn alloy of copper, nt
least from the time of Henry 1., nnd
this alloy gave the denomination of
Sterling to those coins.
"Spelman suppnscth It to take thnt
name from the Estertlngs. who came
over mid reformed our coin, to thnt
alloy of this opinion was Camden
Possibly In those times it Peny was
called a Sterling, without any other
reason than the use of the times, as
other names ?:row, for the old Act of
Henry III. tells us that Denarius An'
gllee I'terllngus dicltnr (a denarius, or
penny. Is called In English a Sterling),
and because this was the root of tho
measure of silver coin: therefore nil
our coin or the same alloy wns nlso
called Sterling."

that among the Germans winter, spring
