With the ease acquired by long practice he was reeling off yarn after yarn about bis exploits, though every one knew that be bad never been any thing but .sutlers clerk. "Talk of mud," he was just saying, "our campaign in the Wilderness wai the worst- It rained for days without let ting up. Poured by the) bucketful the whole time.

The argument often made against tbe views of President Eliot of Harvard and of President Roosevelt in favor of large familiars is that it oosta too much to rear half a duieo children nowadays. In the Pritnroie minstrels the; tell . story of a family named Little to whom this argu ment did not apply. "You sy joo are tho father of nine children?'' "Yes. sir." "And yon support your entire family on $10 a week?" "Yea, sir." "How can vou possibly do it?" "Well, every Little helps." New York Mail and Express. Most of us are io one way or another born cowatds, and what we need more than anything else is to be made prop erly ashamed of oursslvcs. Hail then, Robert Browning, toe prophet of courage in victory, courage in defeat, courage in the losing fiVhil This ii, briefly, the mcs.dge of Mary Baker Uunn, in a pa cer as scriuhtlv as it is inspiring publish ed in tho current Atlantic. According to this writer Browning's chief virtue is that be wakea one feel willing lo blow horns f nd wavo banners and lead forlorn hopes. A Browning notion of victory however, does no! with aov necessity whatever imply the getting what one wants. It often mcanajust keeping eter nally at it, and realizing that surrender is the only defeat. But what if I fail of my purpose here? It is but lo keep the nerves at train, To dry one'B eyes and langh at a fall, And baffled, cet up and bcgio again So tbe chase takes up one's life, that's all." The Browning tonic which this writer would like to substitute for the pro prietary medicines of the age does not inspire any man to be an angel before his time it only stimulates him to be a mao and master of himself: "A man for ayo removed From the developed brute; . God though in tho germ. Tbe tonio in question is not an eipeo eive remedy except in the amount of effort required on the part of tbe patient to render it efficacious, but it is perhaps a little too bracing to be taken in large doeaeB until the spirit of it has begun to steal into one's veins. If, for instance, the young man should begin before breakfast io the morning with "What have I on earth to do With tho slothful, with the mawkish, t()e unmanl)? follow it up at about the time of his after-breakfast pipe with "I count life just a stuff. To try the soul's strength on," maofu.'y swallow an afternoon dose of 'When tho fight begins with himself A man's worth something" and substitute for his mual night cap, Why oomes temptation but for man to meet, And master and make crouch beneath his feet, And so be pedestaled in tiiumph? he mieht at first find such a sudden in flux of red blood into his veins a littlt more than his system could bear, but, in due time, if tbe prescription wero per severed in. he m ight learn to weloome the joy and the strength of the new elixir of life.
