The President of a bank, when asked by a young clerk how he could distinguish the bad bills from the good, said : "Gel familiar with good bills, and you will recognise the bad bills at sight." Here is a vast voiume of wisdom summed up in a simple sentence. This homely advice applies not only to the detection of counterfeit money, but with equal force to the detection of the counterfeit in al departments of life. The man accustomed to hand ling of good corn, good wheat, good potatoes, has no difficulty in detecting the faulty. He detects intuitively. Even without recog nized thought, he fixes upon the good. 1 ne sKiiimi egg handler passes good eggs before the light with a rhythmic rapidity that is amazing; but an imperfect egg instantly breaks his routine and interrupts his process. To the trained musician, accus tomed to doing and knowing high grade work, a talse note comes like a stab of pain. In any occupation, any man Fully engaged in doing the righi thing will have no difficulty in recognizing the wrong. Right and wrong are as far apart, or unlike, as day and night; and ne mat is most accustomed to walk in the light is quicker to note the shadows. There is only one way to know the bad, the imperfect, the untrue, and that is knowing the good, the perfect, the true. WHY HE OBJECTED. A parson and a leading parish ioner were not on good terms, and there was much speculation in the village as to the reason. "It's all on account of a parson refusing to christen master's youngest child," the housemaid confided 10 her friend of the dust ing brush at the house across the way. "Master wanted her to be named Dora Ruby Inez North Kathleen, but the parson wouldn't do it." "It was like parson's cheek." replied her friend, "even if he was asked to give the child a hundred names." "Oh, it wasn't the number of names which bothered him," re turned the servant. "He objected 10 the initials, that's all. You see, master's name is Beer, and the girl's initials are D. R. I. N. K and the parson declined to be a party to her having to sign her self when she grows up, 'Drink Beer.' " "ONLY THE BEST." When ihe writer asked a little orphan Lithuanian boy what his father had been like, he said, quaintly: "He was only the best." That was high praise. To be only what is best, and to be that best so faithfully and so persistently that our friends and those of our own household will note the high stand ards we are maintaining, calls for the finest courage and determina tion. It means letting go all the things which keep us from attain ing the best-resolutely culling them off; it means patiently and prayerfully and tenderly picking out ihose things which make for character sturdily grafting them to our selves. Being "only what is best" demands the purest, the strongest, the most loyal and loving efforts men and women can com nund. It is to he attained by no other means; the best is the best nothing less. Selected. ECONOMY. "Yes, darling," said Mr. New lywed, "we can get along without a piano, bui we must have a few tons of coal put in for the winter, and I don't really know how we can afford it." "Why, I'll tell you what we can do," replied Mrs. Nelywed, who has been reared in luxury. "We will save money on the coal bill by spending our winter in Florida." CASTORIA For Infants and Ciiildren. Ihe Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Tr Blgnatar ot AaZ4-CUCAU "SAY IT If you have a pleasant word, say it Say it now. Don'i wait till tomorrow comes, Say it now, that precious word of comfort For which the burdened heart in sorrow longs. If you have a pleasant thought sing it, Voice it loud that all the world may hear; If you wait, perhaps the morrow may not dawn, Bui sing it now, that blessed word of cheer. Hearts are longing for the words you do not utter, Hearts are longing for the smiles you never gave, Do not hesitate to bear the precious message, For somewhere there are souls that you may save. Somewhere there are hearts bowed down in sorrow Waiting for a message from warm hearts Do not wait, but say or sing it with your blessing With the blessing that true sympathy imparts. HALIFAX!

STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! Before us stretches the broad expanse of time The years unborn, ihe pathways to explore; Behind us, journeys long and winding ways Are marked by sins we oft with grief deplore, For they are portraits of the ugly deeds Thai makes us yearn to stop and sin no more! Our hearts are full of pictures of the thingsi That may have added joys to by-gone days; Our souls have often turned in gladness to The many evils thai this world displays; But those who will may wisely think and say: "We'll look for rarer joys in better ways." Then, who are those who keep this solemn vow, When days are bright, and when the sun is low?

"Tell me about it." "There is not much to tell. I had long been conscious that I was not getting on as last as I should. I was not keeping up with my work; it was distasteful to me.

Result: I became intellectually lazy I felt an increasing incapacity for work. One morning I woke up. I took stock of myself to find out the trouble. Memoranda of several matiers that had long needed attention stared at me from my calendar. "Suddenly the thought came to me: 'I have been doing only the easy things. By postponing ihe disagreeable tasks, the mean, annoy ing little things, my mental muscles have been allowed to grow flabbv. They must get some exercise.' I clean house.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA WHAT TO DO WITH OURSELVES. A Vain Man Likes to Talk About Himself Good or Bad; a Modest Man Does Not Talk In Any Case ! at All. I It will do as much good to set ! down in our tablets that 10 speak i evil of themselves in any partial-, lar always lowers us in the estima-; lion of sensible people. They im- j mediately conclude that we are ; vain or weak, and in any case j small, A vain man likes to talk about himself good or bad ; a modest man d6es not talk of himself at all. To forget and to ignore self is not only the first requisite to great ness but ii is the secret of being pleasing to others. It is a fountain of courtesy, and quietness. It is the source of genuine popularity. Too much self is is ihe reason why we are not liked. But if we must allude to our personality let us treat ii as though we respected it. If we give out the air of dissatisfied, self-tormenting, and self-assumed, how can we expect our friends to take a delight in us? This habit of self-depreciation has its root in a common and vi cious error to-wit : that one's self is uninteresting. The truth is just the contrary; the most attrac tive things about you is your nat ural, own, peculiar being. Noth ing that you can borrow or put on is half so good as what you are. When the Creator made you He made something a little different from all his other work. He intend ed you to be you, and no one else. If you will determine to be your self under all circumstances you will be happy and good and agree able and wise. You will be happy, because the gist of happiness is self-expressing. Joy is the natural acting out of what is in us. We become miser able when we try to be impossible, some one else. You will be happy because you will become acquainted with your self, and you will be amazed to find that you are a tolerably good sort after all. You will learn to enjoy your own moods, your own tastes, and your own emotions. You will cease to be a play-actor striving for the applause of the world and become a real human on the stage just living your life and getting good out of it. You will be agreeable. For no one, whether it be a child, or a youth, or a grandfather no one is so delightful to meet as the person who is himself and acts himself and wnnoui parade on the one hand or self-disparagement on the oiher. PUT IN HUMAN INTEREST. An old negro preacher says The Atlanta Constitution, gave as his text: "De tree is known by its fruit, an' it's des impossible to shake de possum down."

I throwed in de possum to hit de intelligence of my congregation." THE HUMBLE TOILER. "You must put your shoulder to the wheel in this campaign," said the alert manager. "I understand that," said the obscure but willing worker. "But you want to let me know when you're going to change your mind about going ahead.
