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 Answers. _ 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.
