Envy of Taler:t, :
As to clever people’s hating each
~other, I think a little extra talent does
sometimes make people jealous, They
pecome Irritated by perpetual attempts
and failures, and it hurts their iem
pers and dispositions. Unpretending
mediocrity is geod, and genius Is glo
rlous; but a weak flavor of genius in
an esscentially commen p2rson is detest
able. It spoils the grand neutrality of
a commonplace character, as the rins
fngs of an unwashed wine glass spoll
& draught of falr water.—Oliver Wen
dell Holmes.
Pointer for the Baby.
The nurse was In the room with the
pew baby. She heard Bobby sofily
enter and saw him stand by the crib
watching with considerable interest the
new baby using his lungs. The baby
wes a strong little fellow and he cried
louder and louder. “Keep it up,” ad
vised Bobby gleefully, “that’s the way
I get things.”
Our Clerics,
Little by little the jokesmifh’s stock
n trade is being depleted through sci
sntific discovery. An English profes
sor now declares that people get
sleepy during the sermon because they
nypnotize themselves gazing fixedly at
the preacher. It is not because they
are inattentive, but because they are
too attentive. Therefore, jokes ou the
subject are not knocks for the parson,
but boosts.

Some Risk In Everything.
While it may be true that the man
who risks nothing gains nothing, it is
algo true that gain does not depend on
risk alone. In all business there is an
element of risk, but in business this
element is smaller than it is in specu
tatien. s
