It is more fun to see a man read a puff of himself in a newspaper than to see a fat man step on a banana peel. The narrow minded man reads it seven or eight times and then goes around and j copies he can. The kind hearted man goes I home and reads it to his wife, then pays up his dues to the paper. The successful man who advertises reg. and makes money by it, immediately starts to find the editor and then two men leave the sanctum and walk silently and thoughtfully down the street together, the business man taking sugar in his and they both eat a clove or two, and all life is sweeter, and peace settled down on their hearts for the moment.

Humors of the Bike. It t always safe to swear at a bicyclist who is for a collision. A of a well-known athletic club, riding along at an easy pace, was overtaken by another wheel, which didn't tarn out in time and a rear-end collision was the result. When the club man recovered from the shock he found himself lying on his back with the baggy knee of a pair of trousers across his face Furious at the of the other rider, he struggled to get up, in the devil do you ride like that dear Oh, said a plaintive didn't mean to, I'm all tangled Lord, a groaned the young man. I went swore at and his con- increased when he picked himself up and saw up at him from around the wreckage a very pretty face, Hushed with mortification.

That is, I thought of a man, you know. If I'd known you wore bloomers that is, if I'd known those trousers were mean if it was a girl who wore trousers-------.

Every mother has been struck by her child of or years remembering, perhaps for some months, where a certain thing was placed or some little event, and it is a matter of common that we remember events Of our early youth more forcibly than those of even a few months back. It is possible to begin to cultivate the memory as soon a child can talk, when it should be made to do everything it has seen during its morning walk, or to repeat some little story that has been told to it, or a short lesson that has learned. Every teacher before be- ginning a new lesson should make sure that tho lesson of the day be- fore has been retained and under- stood, for tho more we overcrowd tho brain in tho attempt to force knowledge upon it tho less impress upon it for It is tho of all who crammed for examinations that as soon as tho examination is over the undigested knowledge passes away, similarly through life. Unless an item of knowledge is assimilated it becomes as useless to tho mental system as an of food to the bodily system, and in both cases act as an irritant, interfering with tho proper digestion of other matters. In a ordered mind facts re- main and points are, as it were, pigeonholed in such a way that they can brought out immediately when required. brains, in which tho objects or knowledge is confused and not ready at hand, so that it may turn up at unexpected moments, not just when wanted, in the same manner as untidy draw- ors, wardrobes and rooms, and to cultivate n habit of mental order well as of physical should tho earnest desire of every moth- and In Superstition.
