There are no gifts, nothing that does not call for an equivalent. If we cannot pay for gifts in kind we must pay in gratitude or service or we shall rank as moral bank rupts. If I would Lave a good situation I must pay for It not only in labor, but In promptness. Intelligence, faithful ness and pood manners. If I would have good service I must pay not only In money, but in consideration, recog nition, appreciation, fairness. I can hold no one to me If I misuse him. All things are to be had for the buy ing. Would you have friends? Then pny the price. The price of friendship is to he worthy of friendship. The price of glory is to do something glori ous. The price of shame Is to do some thing shameful. Friendship, glory, honor, admiration, courage, infamy, contempt, hatred, are all in the market place for sale at a price. We are buying and selling these things constantly as we will. Even beauty is for sale. Plain women can gain beauty by cultivating grace, ani mation, pleasant speech, intelligence, helpfulness, courage or good will. Beauty is not in the features alone; it is in the soul also. Good will buys good will, friendli ness buys friendship, confidence be gets confidence, service rewards serv ice, and hate pays for bate, suspicion for suspicion, treachery for treachery, contempt for Ingratitude, slovenliness, laziness and lying. We plant a shrub, a rosebush, an or chard, with the expectation that they will pay us back. We build roads, mend harness and patch the roof with the same expectation. We will trust even these unconscious things to pay their debts. Some of our Investments are good and some are bad. The good qualities we acquire—moderation, Industry, cour tesy, order, patience, candor—are sound investments. Our evil institutions and habits are bad Investments, Involving us in losses. We become debtors to them, and they are exacting creditors, forcing payment in full in money and labor and sometimes in blood, agony, tears, humiliation or shame. — From “Balance: The Fundamental Verity," by Orlando J. Smith. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. The most Inexcusable tiling in the ■world Is to unjustly abuse a decent cit izen. It doesn't do people any good to be old enough to know better unless they are also too old to enjoy meanness. Every man needs a chart to tell him the degrees of kinship In his family, but his wife knows them so well she can say them backward. The truth about some people who seem to be doing so much is that they always put things off until the last minute and then have to rush. The early bird may get the worm, but the late bird has as good an argu ment: He gets his rest which the early bird misses and has never yet starved. Be patient with the girl who takes ■o long to dress. By and by she will be able to do up the work and dress herself and three or four children In half the time she takes for herself now. —Atchison Globe. D*icen of Melancholy. The weak, broken spirited person grows morbid and melancholy, and the brain degenerates rapidly under th< Influence of these mental states. Mel ancholia Is something that comes mon within the province of the will powei than anything else. It can be cast ofl and avoided only in this way. Some times for the lack of stimulating th< will physicians will recommend i change of occupation, scenery and as soclatlon. This la merely an attempi to rescue the mind from lntrospectloi and give the will an opportunity to as sert itself. Sometimes this Is accom plished, and then, If followed op bj cultivating the will, a permanent curt may he effected.—EH change. THE e“:‘- OF INDIA TKuY AftE THu > -ICH VILLAINS OF THE BIRD WORLD. Two Species of the Feathered Vngra bondn Exist Side by Side and Ply Tlieir Tricks of Iniquity la Com | mon—Larceny For the Love of It. It Is quite Impossible for any one who has not sojourned in the “Land ■ of Regrets” to appreciate the impor ‘ tant part played by crows in the daily life of the Anglo-Indian. India with out its crows is unthinkable; It could only be likened to London without ita fogs. Wherever human beings have their abodes there are multitudes of corvidae to be found, for the Indian crow is an inseparable appendage of town and village. Two species exist side by side in India, the great black bird known to Anglo-Indians as the corby and the smaller gray necked spe cies. Both birds lead lives of aimless vagabondage; both are scoundrels of the most pronounced type; both are sinners beyond redemption. Did the black crow exist alone it would be held up as the emblem of all that is evil and mischievous. As things are, its iniquities pale Into insignificance be side those of its gray necked cousin. The very name of the latter bird is sufficient to raise the ire of the right eous man. To' call the arch villain of the bird world "the splendid” is mere mockery of words. Jerdon, the famous Indian naturalist, “often regrets that such an inappropriate specific name should have been applied to this spe cies, for it tends to bring into ridicule among the unscientific the system of nomenclature.” j nc iiiumu WTWw xa auio i.v/ uuiuc most things. A Calcutta bird has made Itself famous for all time by constructing a nest of the wires used to secure the corks of soda water bot tles. Bombay Is very jealous of Cal cutta, and the crows, of course, ape their betters. The Bombay birds de termined not to be outdone by the Calcutta corvidae. Accordingly one of the former promptly built her nest of gold and silven spectacle frames stol en from Messrs. Lawrence & Mayo's factory. The value of the materials used in the construction of this nest was estimated at £20. But crows will appropriate things for which they can have no possible use. They commit larceny for the love of the thing. The Indian crow Is the Incarnate spirit of mischief. The bird will wantonly tear a leaf ont of a book lying open on the table. My gardener, adds Mr. De war, puts every morning fresh flowers In the vases. This operation Is per formed on the veranda. One day the man was called away from his work for a couple of minutes. During his absence a crow swooped down and suc ceeded in taking a beakful of flowers and breaking the vase in which they were placed. A retired colonel of my acquaintance who lives In the Hima layas Is a very enthusiastic gardener, and the crows are the bane of his life. They root up his choicest seedlings, sever the heads of his most superb flowers from the stalk and fly away with the little pieces of paper which he places In cleft sticks to mark where seed have been sown. But It Is in towns that the Iniquity of the crows reaches Its maximum. The Madras corvidae are a byword throughout the length and breadth of India. The hospital Is their favorite playground. They are never so happy as when annoying the inmates. They know at once when a person Is too ill to move. The consequence Is that It has been found necessary to have made for all the tables wire covers which protect articles placed at the bedside from the ravages of the “treble dated birds.” • I have seen a Madras crow quietly helping itself to the contents of a basket which an old woman was carrying on her head. The bird was possessed of sufficient Intelligence to refrain from alighting on the basket. Had it done so Its presence would prob ably have been detected. It flapped .along Just above the top of the basket, keeping pace with the woman, and so, unperceived by her, made a meal off the contents. The knavish tricks of crows are by no means confined to hu man beings. As Colonel Cunningham truly says, “Any animal pets are, of course, even more than inanimate ob jects, subject to their attentions, and qnless In wholly inaccessible places are constantly liable to have their food purloined and their lives rendered a burden by persistent and Ingenious per secution.” I once possessed a grey hound which used to be fed in the gar den. A man had to stand over the dog while it was feeding; otherwise the •rows would devour the greater portion of the meal. Their plan of campaign was simple and effective. They soon learned the dog’s feeding hour and as It drew near would take up a position on any convenient tree. The moment the greyhound began to eat a crow would swoop down and peck viciously at its tail. The dog would, of course, turn on the bird, and the others would seize this opportunity to snatch away some of the food. The process would be repeated until the meal was over. Crows tease and annoy wild creatures with the same readiness that they wor ry domestic animals. They mob every strange bird In much the same way as the London street arab makes fun of any person In unusual attire.—Long man’s Magazine. Sadden Want of Information. Tommy—Ma, lend me a lead pencil.
