The pith matter is that, if in any . , way ae he at a position of any importance, the less you talk to every one # more.credit you receive for care, for tininess, 0c. sound, well considered opinions. Heré is nothing which urges a boy to have no opinions. or to never, , them, ‘and, din fact, this ‘‘wise silence’’ at school and college as often perhaps covers up an empty mind. a8 it does the wisdom of Solomon. There is, however, a good rule to follow, which may be given briefly,-to the effect that it is well to say little until you. have thoroughly: miade up your mind, and then not to hesitate in your statements. The temptation of the average man is to express some opinion at once, but if that .is changed. later the full force of the final opinion is Jost. Let-others do the wrangling. Your. opinion will have all the more influence if you come out strong with it at the close'of the discussion, when not only are the others considerably in doubt as to what they do want, but you have also had the advantage of pote Papp sides of the case,” That is to say, that in your daily behavior toward the others in school it is well to keep your ‘‘talk’’ in reserve. It is a habit easily acquired and one that in the end works both ways. Jt adds both to the value of your advice, because the advice is better considered; and it gives the advice an added value so far as others are: concerned, because when you only say a little.’that little has the. more consideration. —Harper’s Round Table. -A Cold Day: Soldier.

What could it mean? Was it a joke? If it wasn’t, how was a hardware company to get 50 rats? Z Bat it was 9 serious order, and that night a dozen or more men went inte the basement of the store and prepared . arat banquet of cheese and bacon in one of the rooms. When the rats, big and little, came inside, the door was quietly closed’ and the rats were trapped. Then they were boxed up and sent away. Rats*are needed in the mines fo eat up refuse food or other matter that would decompose, and the great. Utica mine’s previous colony was suffocated at the recent fire. That is why the San Francisco firm received its queer order and promptly filled it, —Chicago Record. nee. 4 Sparrow Dance. This is a tale of how a girl found out that sparrows were fond of music: When she was. playing a medley on the piano the other morning, two'sparrows flew to one of the parlor windows and perched themselves. on the ledge, They cocked‘ their little brown heads fii a listening attitude, and when the music Was merriest began hopping gayly about on the narrow sill. ° They chattered joyously ‘and. shrilly, attracting the attention of pedestrians. When the music stopped; the sparrows ceased dancing. When the :‘music was resumed, they again danced..Since then they have flown to the window every morning as soon aa they heard the piano and danced much after the fashion of children who cluster about: the hand organs in“ summer.—-Albany Cor.

Their introduction, . — however, was difficult, as they came in. conflict with the productions “of John Crossley & Sons, then’ the, greatest producers‘ of the original tapestry and velvets in he world. The difference, of. course, . between: the two was that the Crossleys had the designs . printed, as now, in colors on the warp . before ‘weaving, while that made‘ by . John Bright (tapestry) had its figures . . _. and.colors stamped upon the fabric by hand after it was woven.
