A PATERNAL CRITICISM
Mir flcury Irvine Co mm out mi Ills
Sonii Karly Hamlet
H U Irving son of Sir Ilenry Irv
ing Avns ndt educated primarily for the
Btagu Studying for the profession or
barrister while ho was still in college
ho took part in amateur theatricals
An amusing story is told of one of his
earlier interpretations of the difficult
role of Uainlct On this particular and
early occasion however Sir Ilenry
was out in front and after the per
formance several Including his son
crowded about him for an expression
of opinion
What do you think of Smith as Vo
lonius asked one
Good very good murmured Sir
Henry in ids quiet kindly way
And Miss Blank as Ophelia
Good very good again murmured
Sir Henry
And Tones as the king
Good very good repeated Sir
Henry
And Thomas as Horatio
Good very good came the answer
So the entire cast was gone through
with the exception of the principal
character and each received the same
precise neal criticism good very
good Then there was a slight pause
an awkward pause after which the
son who had been waiting eagerly and
anxlouly for his fathers opinion about
his acting managed to pluck up
enough courage to stammer But fa
therwhat did you think of the rest
of the cast
Sir Henry looked blandly at his sou
and then remarked dryly Are you
sure that you want to be an actor my

MAN AND MONEY
The Cliaugrc Tliat Often Comes With
- the Afiniatioii of Wealth
The transforming power of money
the moment it gets into a mans pos
session is one of the unsolved mys
teries of the universe Of course we
know that the poison of avarice and
greed ia in the character and not in
the money but it is unfortunate that
the possession of money seems to de
velop to bring out some of the worst
human qualities qualities which never
develop iu poverty or show themselves
under ordinary circumstances
Before Ave get possession of money
we feel sure that we will not allow it
to warp and twist our ideals We are
going to show the world a sane use of
inon v We are going to help every
body We are going to help struggling
merit assist poor boys and girls to get
an education and to get a start in the
world We are going to be helpful and
useful in the largest possible way
But it Is a strange trait in human
nature that up matter how humble or
democratic or helpful and companion
able people may be while poor just as
soon as -the average man gets more
than his fellows he begins to domineer
over them and to use the very wealth
whicli he was so anxious to get to en
able him to help his fellow men to
oppress and keep them down 0 S

gist written by a reputable physician
for two theater tickets and the pa

for the scheme as told the druggist by

What Brcathinpr Amounts To
In each respiration an average adult
Inhales one pint of air A man respires
sixteen to twenty times a minute and
a young child about twenty five to
thirty five times While in a standing
posture the number of respirations Is
greater than when lying down A man
takes only thirteen breaths of air to the
minute while reclining The superficial
surface of the lungs is 200 square
yards The amount of air inspired by
an adult in twenty four hours is about
10000 quarts The least amount of air
needed by an adult in one hour is 3S0
quarts The heart sends through the
lungs 5000 gallons of blood daily

for the familiarization of this fact I j

sage from The View of the Present
State of Ireland
Out of every corner of the woods
and gliunes they came creeping foorthe
upon tlieyr handes for theyr legges
coidd not beare them They looked
like anatomyes of death they spake
like ghostes crying out of tlieyr graves
they did eat of the dead carrions and
yf they founde a plotte of water cresses
or shamrokes there they flocked as to a
feast for the time
This dietary use was known to the
Elizabethan dramatists

THE OLD FARM
Thoughts It Ilrouht to One Who
Knew It as a Boy
One morning I was awakened with
a strange new joy in my mind It
came to ine at that moment with inde
scribable poignancy the thought of
walking barefoot in cool fresh plow
furrows as I had once done when a
boy So vividly the memory came to
me the high airy world as it was at
that moment and the boy I was walk
ing free in the furrows that the weak
tears tilled my eyes the lirst I had
shed in many years Then I thought
of sitting in quiet thickets in old fence
corners the wood behind me rising
still cool mysterious and the fields in
1 front stretching away in illimitable
pleasantness I thought of the good
smell of cows at milking You do not
know if you do not know I thought
of the sights and sounds the heat and
sweat of the hayfields I thought of
a certain brook I knew when a boy
that flowed among alders and wild
parsnips where I waded with a three
foot rod for trout I thought of all
these things as man thinks of his
first love Oh I craved the soil I
hungered and thirsted for the earth
I Avas greedy for growing things

Frendi Sentiment
A French parricide who slew his fa
ther and mother and was asked upon
condemnation what he had to say and
why sentence should not be pronounced
upon him entreated the court to have
inercy upon a poor orphan This tale
is green with the moss of ages and
may not be true but something like it
is true of a Avornan named Marie Cel
vet sentenced by a Paris tribunal to
twenty years imprisonment at hard
labor for the murder of her sister
While in court she constantly wore a
long crape A eil Why do you wear
this veil asked one of the officials to
which she replied that she Avas in
mourning for her sister showing an
affectionate sensibility the eailier ex

After Death -It
is very singular how the fact of a
mans death often seems to give peo
ple a truer idea of his character
whether for good or for evil than
they have ever possessed Avhile he was
living and acting among men Death
is so genuine a fact that it excludes
falsehood or betrays its emptiness It
is a touchstone that proves the gold
and dishonors the baser metal Could
the departed whoever he may be re
turn In a week after his decease he
would almost inA ariably find himself
at a higher or a lower point than he
had formerly occupied in the scale of
public appreciation -
A Remarkable Carrier Pigeon
A remarkable story of the sagacity
and physical endurance of a carrier
pigeon is told in Nansens story of his
arctic explorations One day the pigeon
tapped at the window of Mrs Nansens

ately opened and the little messenger
was covered with kisses and caresses
by the explorers wife After an ab
sence of thirty months from the cot
tage the pigeon had brought a note
from the explorer over a thousand
miles of frozen Avaste and another
thousand of ocean plain and forest

To know luvw to be ready a great
thing a precimis gift and one that im
plies calculation grasp and decision
to be ahA ays ready a man must be
able to cut a knot for everything can
not be untied He must know how to
disengage AA hat is essential from the
detail in which it is inwrapped for
everything cannot be equally consid
ered In a word he must be able to
simplify his duties his business and
his life To knoAV Iioav to be ready is
to know how to start It is astonish
ing how all of us are generally cum
bered up with the thousand and one
hindrances and duties which are not
such but which noAertheless wind us
about with their spider threads and
fetter the movement of our wings It
is the lack of order which makes lis
slaves The confusion of today dis
counts the freedom of tomorrow Con
fusion is the enemy of all comfort and
confusion is born of proscrastination
To know how to be ready we must be
able to finish Nothing is done but
what is finished The things which we
leave dragging behind us will start up
again later on before us and harass
our path Let each day take thought
for what concerns It liquidate its own
affairs and respect the day which is to
follow and then we shall be always
ready To know how to be ready is at
the bottom to know how to die Amid
