LOVE YOUR WORK.
Work thou for pleasure; paint or
sing or carve
The things thou lovest, though the
body starve.
Who works for glory misses oft the
goal;
Who works for money coins his
very souL
Work for work’s sake, and it well
may be
That these things shall be added
unto thee.
—Kenyon Cox.
EtiqustU'on Brltiah Warships.
Etiquette plays an important P»rt °n
a modem battleship, and the British
navy enforces many little forms ana
customs. „
In the wardroom, where the officers
and midshipmen dine, the commander
does not sit at the head of the table.
That place Is reserved for the president
of the mess. The commander invari
ably sits at his right hand, while the
former changes every month.
Evening dress is a steadfast rule, so
much so that the mnn who has to take
a watch after dinner and who has ne
time to change sits at a table by him
self. The toast of “The King in the
navy is drunk sitting. Tradition has it
that a certain king once proposed a
toast and, jumping up. hit his head
against a beam above. _ Orders were
given, the story goes, thnt all toasts
were in future to be drunk sitting.
The “middy” on n warship is just
like a fag at a public school, with the
officers ns his prefects or monitors.
Midshipmen have to muke themselves
generally useful to the intter.-London

Burning Cold. »
One who has been reared in either
the tempernte or tropic zones and whe
ts unacquainted with t.be mysteries or
the chemical laboratory can hardy
imagine a degree of cold that would
reduce the temperature of any known
substance to thnt point where, if the
hand were brought ha contact with it.
the result would be the some ns If he-
had received a burn. But that such,
things are possible are well known*
to chemists and other experimenters.
One noted experimenter with liquid
air gases, which require wonderful de
grees of cold for their success, says
that a heat burn Is a luxury when com
pared with burns he has received from*
cold substances. A drop of liquid gas
on. his hand made a bluish blister,
which changed Into an ulcer which did
not heal for six months, while a bent
burn five times ns large henled it»
twelve days.—St Louis Globe-Demo
crat
A Tenor and Hia Beard.
Mario, tile famous teuor, was ex
cessively proud of his line beard. One
day in Russia, where be bad become
the favorite of' the court, the Emperor
Nicholas ordered him to sing in uu
opera dealing with an episode in the
eighteenth century and necessitating
a clean shaven face. Mario refused
to obey. The emperor became angry.
It wus in vain that the empress tried
her arts of persuasion. / Mario was in
dexible.
“I am ready,” he said, “to give my
life for your majesty, but not ray-
beard— never!”
Nicholas would not stand any cross-'
lng of his will.
“Sing or go!” he said.
Without more ndo Mario threw tip
all bis engagements, packed his trunks
and went
Buttons and Women’s Clothes.
"Why does a woman button her gar
ments on the left side?" The question*
Is discussed In the London Tailor and:
Cutter by several correspondents, one
of whom advances tills theory: "For
Indies to have the buttonholes In the
right side of their garments has its
origin in the times when It was neces
sary for a lady when going out at nlgbt
to have a gentleman escort, who sup
ported her upon bis left arm, leaving
his right or sword arm at liberty.
Thus the lady’s left hand would be
free to fasten or unfasten her cloak
at her own pleasure and without ia-
convenlence.”
CHARACTER.
Characters are achieved—not
received. They grow out of the
substance of a man’s souL They
are not put on as a beggar might
put on a stolen coat They mature
like fruit from the vital fluids of the
tree. They grow with use. A
false limb wears out, wastes with
use. A natural limb grows stronger
and better with use. Character is
an achievement.—G H. Fowler.
To Illustrate.
Example as welt as precept was fur
nished to the youthful autograph (tend
who wrote to one of the world’s rich
est men. asking for on ’’autograph
sentiment” and Inalofdag r rwo cent
stamp Sts reply. «ver tee opu-
lency’a signature came the prompt re
sponse—on a postcard:
“A penny saved is a penny earned.”
—Lippincott's.
Charlea V. Liked Mechanic*.
Charles V. of Spain, like Louis XVL
of France, was particularly fond of
timepieces and had n decided taste for
mechanics. When in Germany he in
vented a carriage for his own accom
modation, and after his abdication he
would amuse himself in making little
puppets—soldiers performing their ex
ercise, girls dancing with their tam
bourines and little wooden birds that
would fly in aud out of the window.
Sam Houston’s Retort.
General Sam Houston was a master
of stump speaking and bitter Invective.
Once while addressing a large audi
ence he was interrupted and asked
what be thongbt of a certain politd-
olan. Withont hesitation he replied,
“He has every characteristie of a dog
except fidelity.”
Advantages of Kilts.
The London Tailor and Cutter ob
serves with its usual keen Insight Inti
human nature: “No one has yet sug
gosted the utility of kilts. They neve
bng at the knees, nor do they eve
require patching at that part, and the!
hyglenle properties are proverbial.”
Fixing the Value,
Jones—So the price of that “old mas
ter" is $5,000. It doesn’t look to Di
worth $10. Art Dealer—See. but m
ft was painted fa Jus
think what $10 at compound in-teres
would amount to for that length o
time!—Exchange.
