DONT NURSE WORRY.
Particularly if It's Your Own Fault the
World Looks Black,
When yon (eel down in the month
.and loos to go away and bide yourself
forever; when you imagine that no one
la the world lit treating you right;
when you are satisfied that your em
ployer is tardy in recognizing your
genius; when you can't divorce your
self from the idea that you are doing
the work and tbe other fellow is get
ting the credit; when the time you
spend at your work seems Intermina
ble and the time away from it seems
woefully short; when all the sky seems
to possess a leaden hue; when every
thing irritates you like salt on un open
wound; when the laugh or a child,
jfrates on your nerves; when the food
yoo ent disagrees with you
Straighten up and take an Inventory
of yourself. Mnybe It Is with you that
the fault lies. Perhaps tbe rest of the
world is but a mirror. Don't imagine
you are carrying the world on your
iihoulders. The browbeaten man Is
too often a creature of bis own mak
ing. He insists on carrying tbe Old
Man of the Sea on his back when the
world is willing to relieve him of the
burden. It is surprising bow many
worries we can banish by making up
our mind resolutely that we will not
give them room In our thoughts. In

THE LAST SHOT.
Dramatio Incident That Closed the
Franco-Prussian War.
There was probably no Incident In
the Franco-Prussian war of 1S70 more
dramatic than that which marked Its
close. Ilerr Forckenbeck, president of
tbe Prussian chamber of deputies, was
sent with a colleague to Versailles to
congratulate King William upon bis
election as emperor.
Bismarck, who bad Just concluded
the terms of peace with France, In
vited them to supper and in tbe course
of the meal snid:
"This night at 12 o'clock tbe last
ahots will be exchanged between our
troops and tbe French, and 1 have
conceded to the French the honor of
the laBt shot."
Forckenbeck and his colleague left
their host before midnight, drew out
their watches, stood underneath a Ian
teru of the Hotel du Reservoir and
waited. First there was a cannon
hot from tbe German lines; then a
solemn stillness; then followed the last
reply from Mont Valerlen. The tow
er clock at Versailles struck 1Z Tbe
French war bad ended. Exchange.
STARTING A LIBRARY.
A Selection of Ten Books That Might
Serve as a Basis.
Laura Bpencer Porter, seeking to
show how the ordinary person can be-,
gin founding a personal library, makes
this suggestion as to ten good books to
begin with:
"For those who are beginning a
library and have little money to spend
I would suggest that there be bought,
say, one book each of ten great au
thors. It does not matter who the
nuthnra nr no loni? na thev stand hltrh
! otwt thAlr hnnkft urn wpll known And
standard ones. Let us take as an ex
ample tbe following ten, chosen at ran
dom from a catalogue of standard
writers: Emerson, Eliot Bronte, Rus-
kin, Carlyle, Dickens, Thackeray, Low
ell, Shakespeare, Keats, and as a se
lection of ten of tbe books of these ten
writers let us take in tbe same order
Emerson's 'Essays.' Eliot's 'Mill on the
Floss,' Bronte's 'Jane Eyre,' Buskin's
'Sesame and Lilies,' Carlyle's 'Heroes
and Hero Worship," Dickens' 'David
Coppertield.' Thackeray's 'Pendennls,'
Lowell's essays 'Among My Books,'
a complete volume of Shakespeare or
any one of the Shakespeare plays,
preferably 'Lear or 'Romeo and Ju
liet' and Keats' 'Poems.'
"Here you bave ten books by ten
master minds, books widely varied In
subject style, treatment Let those
ten suffice for a time. Read them."
Woman's Home Companion.
Burial of Sir John Moore.
Tbe death of Sir John Moore at Co
rona is probably the best remembered
fact in all the checkered history of the
peninsular war, for a good reason.
There are poets, like Rhenstone. whose
fame Is secured by a single quatrain.
The poetical reputation of tbe Rev.
Charles Wolfe, who eight years after
the eveut wrote "The Burial of Sir
John Moore," rests on that one produc
tion alone. Ascribed, before Its author's
name became known, to such well
known poets as Campbell and Byron,
tbe poem took firm hold of a nation's
heart Dying of consumption at tbe
early age of thirty-two, Wolfe's mem
ory will ever be kept green by Just that
one piece, which "Ingoldsby" parodied,
which a million schoolboys bave recit
ed, which Lord Byron pronounced to
be "the most perfect ode In the lan
guage." London Spectator.
Wills and Edmund Kean.
Irving used to tell with dramatic ef
fect a story about W. G. Wills, the
dramatist who, among other services,
wrote for him tbe play "Charles I."
When Wills was a boy ten years old
he was taken to see Edmund Kean
piny Macbeth In the murder scene
he was so affected by tbe realistic
power of the actor that seized with a
severe attack of nausea, he hurried
from tbe box. Ten years later be was
lunching at a chop house in Fleet
, . What's In a Name.
How we like to hypnotize ourselves
with namesl Take, for example, the
case of tbe muskrat an animal of
most clean feeding habits, whose flesh
Is sweet tender and of delicate flavor.
In tbe winter mouths muskrat meat
Is in considerable demand In tbe mar
kets of tbe middle Atlantic states, but
It sells best as "marsh rabbit" or "wa
ter squirrel." So, too. the students or
the old Latin quarter in Paris when
they expressed a mild doubt of the
possibility of rabbit pie at so modest
a price were reassured by tbe sugges
tion that it might be tbe "rabbit of the
roofs." Youth's Companion,
Breaking the News.
"Sis won't be able to see von tonlcht
street when a man entered, sat down j Ur Jones," said her little brother.
"She's bad a tur'ble accident
t a table near bim nnd ordered a meat
He was n perfect stranger to Wills,
who. after a few minutes' propinquity,
was again seized with a fit of nausea,
from which he bad not suffered since
as a boy he was at the theater on the
occasion mentioned. He was obliged
to leave the room. When some min
utes later be paid bis bill the waiter
aid to him: "Did you see that gentle
man at tbe table near you? Thafs
Edmund Kean." Corn hi!) Magazine.
Toys During the French Revolution.
The toys of the French revolution
period were characteristic of that ter
rible time. There are tops wbose
shadows cast tbe profile portraits of
liouls XVL and Marie Antoinette.
These arc turned In boxwood and are
indeed Interesting reminiscences of
toys with the impress of history. Tbe
children of the revolution had their
tiny Phrygian caps and danced the hor
rible carmagnoles in their play. Little
models of the guillotine were made to
"work." and the bodies of pigs with
heads of LouN XVI. were decapitated.
Models of the Bastille were popular.
Pluylug cards with figures of revolu
tionary heroes were uiude when kings,
queens and aristocratic knaves were
taboo. From "Toys of Other Days." by
Mrs. F. Nevtll JarkHon.
Dickens' Full Name.
Charles Dickens was christened
Charles John lluffnm. or Uuffharu,
as It is erroneously entered In the par
ish register. But when be tecame fa
mous he dropped the last two Chris
tian names, as be desired to be known
as plain Charles Dlrkens, a wish re
spected on his tombstone in Westmin
ster abbey, by bis biographer and
friend, John Forster, and by tbe scru
pulously accurate Dictionary of Na
tloi'inl Biography.
Never Gives Up.
"I Jnst hud to marry til in. He told,
