We have learned a great lesson when we have learned that the world can get along very, well without us. We may be filling a very important and useful place in the church and in society, but when we are gone some one will fill It just as well, and may be quite a good deal better. We should ever fill our station to the best of our abllty, not forgetting that God has giv en us work to do. But the sun will rise and set after we ure gone Just as it does now. Tne tides will .ebb and flow, and the stars shine Just as brightly. Men will go about their work as confidently as though we had never been. The trains will come In on schedule time, and the office doors will be opened at the usual hours. This may he somewhat humbling to our pride, but ft should exalt our pur pose In things that are more endur ing. It should more frequently turn the thoughts away to tubllmer things.

THE DUCKING STOOL. How a ‘Scold’’ u*ed to be Punishsd in Old England. It Is Interesting to conjure up g pic ture of a "ducking” ns practiced In England at the end of too eighteenth century. When the “scold” had been properly tried aud convicted, she was escorted by a crowd of her neighbors—in fact, by the whole village—to the nearest pond, and the greener anJ slimier the liond the better. A long plank was produced, nt one end of which was tho ducking stool, and In this the screaming, struggling victim was se curely pinioned. Tho chair end of tho plank *was then pushed far over the edge of the pond, and at a signal it was tilted deep Into the green ooze until the scold was completely Immersed. _ . When the dripplug, half drowned woman was raised to the surface again tn the Jeers and laughter of the onlookers It can be Imagined that her •tongue waged to some purpose. Af ter a second dose she emerged more subdued and after a third or fourth she was as penitent a woman as tho village contained and wns allowed to proceed home a sader and wiser wo man until the next time.—Loudon Tit- Bits UNSPOKEN WORD8.

Life is a funny proposition to Jos eph Barosky. 2G years old but he Is laughing constantly and hilariously, and Cincinnati hospital physicians say he will die unless he stops. Barosky says he can’t. Cigarettes are to blame. He had a job brewery he says, and when he lost it he found solace tn cigarrettes. Other Ruslans tn the tenement at 1138 Gest street Cincinnati, where Barosky lived until recently, say Barosky rolled more than 100 smokes a day. Cigar ettes wrecked his nerves and he went to the hospital. He left there because objection was made to his smoking, and returned to hi a countrymen in the West end. Aboat a week ago the young man started laughing. He laughed wher he ate, be laughed when he talked and he laughed In his sleep. In a week he lost top pounds In weight and other Russians, becoming alarmed; took him to the .Cincinnati Hospital. He is registered aa being afflicted .%Rh "laughing hysteria," which the doctors say Is a nervous disease. Ba rosky is undergoing treatment, and the doctors believe if cigarettes are denied him he may recover. He still calls for and smokes cigarettes, know ing 'his doom. when the sentlnelg wjere uniformed In blue uniforms.

It is superior lo any other in size of tusks. I have seen some which are nine feet long and there nrc some which treigii as much aa 209 pounds each. The aver age weight of tusk Is much less than this and one of a hundred pounds is quite valuable. In India the average tusk does not weigh 50 pounds, but that of the Af rican elephant is much heavier. Many of the tusks are broken when they are brought Into the market.
